Chapter 387: Ponzi scheme (1)
In international politics and diplomacy, the happiness of others often comes to me as misfortune.
The more the Rothschild family and the Toscani Empire thrive, the more the Holy Roman Empire writhes in pain, the Kingdom of Lyon weakens, and the Sultanate withers away like an old tree slowly dying from a drug addiction.
Some might ask if my conscience is ever bothered by these actions.
‘This is the logic of statecraft.’
The destruction of other countries is the hope of the Toscani Empire.
“Is it okay to leave work early today?”
As soon as I said that, I slapped my hand over my mouth.
Whether in novels, dramas, or anime, or even in reality, whenever you say “nothing seems to be happening today,” a bombshell of work always follows.
It’s like how if you drop a piece of bread, it’ll always fall with the peanut butter or jam side down, or how my friend doesn’t call attendance when there’s a class cancellation, but the one time I take a “voluntary day off,” the professor will definitely call attendance.
I’ve heard that’s why firefighters, police officers, and medical professionals get scolded when they say something like that.
“Don’t say such ominous things,” they get told.
“I should probably head home soon.”
