Chapter 582: Gold Lovers
Alexander had some more loose ends to tie before he started his work as the president. He needed to handle the girl from Xing and another guy he was told about that was locked up inside the prison. He was the same guy out of whom Greed Homoculus was taken out.
Alexander had thought that the guy must have died as is soul was shattered with the philosopher's stone. But he was wrong, somehow, even with the philosopher's stone in his body, his own soul stayed to retain some control. It was an amazing feat that not many could hope to achieve.
He quickly freed him and organised a meeting with all these Xing tourists.
"So, you all entered illegally," Alexander spoke.
This scared them all a bit. "Oh, we didn't mean to. We just lost our way in the desert."
"Calm down, I'm not going to punish you. In fact, I am going to go with you to Xing. I'm not going to judge your country's culture but what kind of King marries 50 women from 50 families that run the country and then make his hundreds of kids fight for the throne. He even sent you to find a way to become immortal.
"All I know is that as long as such traditions are kept ongoing, your country will never advance and maybe in the future it will end up being taken over by some other nearby country. We are in a new era now, long gone the days when kings ruled their kingdoms. This is the era of globalisation." Alexander said in length.
"Globalisation? What is that?" Mei asked him.
"Oh, Globalisation means the speedup of movements and exchanges of human beings, goods, and services, capital, technologies or cultural practises all over the planet. One of the effects of globalisation is that it promotes and increases interactions between different regions and populations around the globe.
