Chapter 763: A Choice Must Be Made
“Borrow from someone else?”
The emperor, seated in his chair, rubbed his temples and glanced at the world map on the wall to his left. Without a doubt, this someone else referred to the Baylor Federation.
But would the Baylor Federation really lend him money? He had serious doubts.
Everyone knew the conflict between Gephra and the Baylor Federation was irreconcilable. He enjoyed seeing Baylor suffer, and he was sure their president and his cabinet would be just as happy to see Gephra in trouble.
They were probably popping champagne right now, celebrating the unprecedented crisis Gephra had found itself in. And in such a moment, he was supposed to ask them for a loan? Would they agree?
As he mulled it over, his gaze briefly passed over Jania, who stood nearby.
“You can sit down,” he said casually. Strangely, Jania didn’t sit.
The emperor’s brow twitched. In better times, he might’ve frowned, but now he merely twitched. So many frustrating things had worn down his temper. He also noticed something off in the room—an unclean smell.
A smell… that suggested a lot without saying anything directly.
