Chapter 694: Losing the Initiative
After getting what he wanted from Lynch, Akumari left on his own—he still had work to do.
With the return of the federal merchants, some factories had resumed production, making transportation suddenly a top priority.
But in just that fleeting moment, Akumari felt he had gained the most valuable asset of his life.
This asset wasn’t money, jewels, or anything tangible. It was spiritual wealth—a guiding light that helped him see through the fog and into the sunshine.
He sincerely appreciated what Lynch had said. Now, he had ideas. He would work hard, go to the Federation to study and improve himself, and then bring what he learned back to Nagaryll to inspire others.
He wanted to witness the transformation of the Nagaryll people and see that backward, ignorant country become prosperous and strong. It might take many years to become the ideal nation he dreamed of, but he would keep watching—watching it become a happy place.
Lynch glanced at Akumari’s departing figure, mentally making a note of him. He felt it was worth giving this young man some opportunities, helping him quickly become a Level 3 employee and head to the Federation for further study.
The ruling class of Nagaryll, with the help of the Federals, had realized their shortcomings and were willing to cooperate in building a beautiful homeland. But among the lower classes, there were still some who clearly deviated from the mainstream.
They believed the Federal involvement in Nagaryll was wrong. Many of them were remnants of grassroots organizations from the former Nagaryll Youth Party.
