"What do you all think?"
Within a heavily fortified and guarded barrack, several leaders wiped their faces with handkerchiefs, as though they weren't the ones who fought and exchanged blows over a few slices of fruit and goods just now.
))V^V))
Everyone now regained their sanity, liking their lips with relish.
Khelt Kin's eyes were filled with bountiful pride when staring at his daughter, Khalea. Khelt Kin was a very burly man with broad shoulders and a laugh that could swallow the entire room.
"Bhahahahhahahaha~"
He laughed like a jolly Viking.
"You old fogies should be grateful my daughter brought these goods for everyone to taste!"
Of course, he would prefer it if everything was left for him. Khelt Kin swore that his belly could take it all, despite how swollen it now looked.
"Niece Khalea, you have done well to bringing this matter to our atten— (Hiccup~) —tion"
Several people spoke, hiccupping with every one or 2 words they said.
"I've never felt this good before. I feel even my old knee injury is better than it was yesterday."
Well, it was all fun and games to eat merrily and feel relaxed. However, there was something more important they must handle first… Something has been plaguing the minds of everyone here.
"I'm sure everyone knows that the situation is such that we cannot stop the news from spreading."
"Hmmm…" Another nodded. "The Big 3 will for sure try stealing this golden peach from our hands."
In today's world, there were 3 top Countries that controlled everything:
—Kelicia, at number 1.
—Bowman, and number 2.
—and Varmodia at number 3.
These 3 are the world's top supplier of most technological parts and gadgets needed world wide. Their schools are also very strict, not allowing just any foreigner to come in for studies. There were schools where foreigners could study, that taught the same thing as many schools worldwide.
And then, there were 'Special' schools higher than these schools where only the best of the best attend.
In fact, not many foreigners ever get to see the 4 corners of those schools. The only way foreigners are allowed to study there, is if they were true geniuses who choose to dump their country's citizenship and become citizens of the Big 3.
The way the big 3 controlled the markets, made everyone in the world envious. They also played with the psychology of ordinary people, allowing them to think it was natural to betray one's country just for benefits.
"Oh… so he left xxxx and was recruited by Kelicia? Well that's only natural. Haven't you heard that they awarded him 500,000 just for moving alone?
"Damn! So xxxx has been officially accepted as a true Citizen of Bowman? So jealous! Hey, if I was the one, I too wouldn't hesitate to jump on such golden thighs."
…
Talks like these made it look like it was normal for geniuses to abandon their country. And now, they feared that their Golden Peach with the most potential, would get forcefully taken away by the big 3.
Sigh…
Several people shook their heads wryly.
According to Khalea, her friend, Payne Hanberg, Gort Fairbang wants the sort who would betray the country.
Payne Hanberg had asked Gort Fairbang about his thoughts on the big 3, and Gort Fairbang said just one word—Laughable.
Good!
The news truly made them merry. However, saying one thing and following through with it was another matter. He might be saying he won't choose to betray his country now, but when all the offers come flooding in, will he still stick to his initial thoughts?
You have to know that the big 3 not only give hundreds of thousands, but millions out too.
Additionally, they give you a luxurious home in one of the grand gated communities scattered around their countries.
There was someone who was granted free food specific shopping centers for the next 3 years.
He would have a monthly budget of xxx deposited in a special Food card. The thing is that the card is only acceptable in these stores.
Sometimes, luxury vehicles are also thrown into the offer, depending on how much potential the person they're trying to hook has… Everyone only sees one side of the coin.
All these good things keep these people prisoners in foreign lands. Gates communities, food purchase cards that only work in specific places… Everything was very monitored and controlled.
Many times, these geniuses don't even realize how deep they regret it, until several decades have gone by when the fake smiles on the faces of the Big 3 have vanished. It made them very sad when thinking of the many secret missions they had to review those taken in foreign lands.
Many times, these geniuses keep refusing, saying it was better to cry in a luxury vehicle than to be happy on the streets in poverty.
It wasn't until it's too late that they tried returning home… But how can the big 3 let them go?—No way!
They Are now properties of these countries, and would join the extreme labor force, working tirelessly.
That's what happens if they no longer produce good results as geniuses.
