Chapter 597: Meeting in the Imperial Capital (2/2)
”Get the fuck out of my property, you guys are trespassing.” Yodha also sighed with a frustrated expression as he ran out and sent ravens and pigeons to the imperial capital.
Sam also sent ravens to different places discreetly. In fact, no one knows he was the one that sent them. But the news of his actions all spread over in various military bases and Navy bases. They also got the news that their orders for the new battleships were canceled and the reason was explicitly stated that the imperial prince was trying to be hostile with him and take over his businesses forcefully.
The rumors also spread that Sam is planning to move to a different nation in 'fear' of this abuse of power. Once the soldiers knew this, the news was sent to the commoners, and the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became.
After Yodha sent the news to the Imperial capital, the emperor felt drained.
He didn't expect that another one of his children would provoke Sam again. He is already having a hard time dealing with Sam as he was too cunning and always seemed to have a backup plan.
Everything he did, he is making it public so that the emperor couldn't directly meddle and the people who provoked him whose importance was based on the public opinions are unable to do anything.
He immediately summoned his son and the rest of the team back and organized a meeting with some officials.
”The situation in the Union dimension is becoming more and more complicated and we wanted Sam's help. I even planned to have Yodha discuss it with him and the rest of the six nations also agreed to this. But now, this happened and there is no way he would have any discussion.
The rest of the nations will get the news and they will definitely eye for him now that he even stated that he wants to get out of this place.
We made a lot of diplomatic deals with the other nations based on Sam's performance in the Union dimension regarding this situation. If he was poached. Not only will we lose all the diplomatic deals we made, but we will also lose the number of weapons and the new innovations he would bring in to prosper our nation.
Just his training methods are enough for even the rubrum empire to put aside all their enmity to bring him into their ranks.
I need a solution.”
There are only four people in the meeting room and they are the emperor, the imperial advisor, the Marshall and the Minister of foreign affairs.
”I would say, you can arrest him for treason and start to investigate him and try to intimidate him a bit and he himself will come to his senses, your majesty.”
The minister replied and the Emperor looked at him before saying.
”And the public will think that we are really abusing our power and they will definitely not come to us if they have any ideas like Sam does. And once the public developed distaste, they will start to look for better options. That rule applies to their daily needs to their ruler.
I don't want more informers and spies popping up in my nation.
And we don't know what his backing truly is. He said he is from a different place than Naga Loka.
From what I know, he didn't come from the Interdimensional Wormhole of our planet and he didn't come from Union Dimension to assume that he came from a different planet. He just appeared out of thin air and how powerful do you think that someone that can make that happen is? We cannot take risks.” The emperor replied.
”But no matter what, he shouldn't fight and threaten the imperial authority, your majesty. Otherwise, the people wouldn't respect you anymore.”
”Now offering a different opinion just like you did is also a different opinion Minister. But you still get to do this? Why do you think so? Because the capable are given leeway and they should be given that leeway if you want to use their capabilities.” Marshall opened his mouth in a reply to the minister's statement.
The Minister shut up and didn't say anything, then Marshall continued speaking to the Emperor.
”Why is he so drastic in his actions? What happened that made him so mad?”
”This is not the first time he was troubled by the imperial family and the first time it was not honoring his achievements and now it is trying to take back the treasure he got himself with force.” He then explained what happened the first time because of his daughter.
”He seems to have some problems regarding authority and he is extremely prideful. There is no use in trying to be forceful with that kind of person, particularly when he is as talented and skilled as he is. He has too many options other than our own empire. He doesn't have to face the music from your sons and daughters when he is doing his duty without any complaints.
It is best to not provoke a guy like that when he is giving you enough respect and not undermining your authority without any rhyme or reason.
Find out why the team members are forceful and get them back to him, ask them to apologize. As for whatever your son did, ask for what he wants in compensation and settle. You shouldn't go there, but you should send someone so that you show him that he is important and this situation matters to us.
Then we can discuss when to ask him about the Union dimension and the other stuff. Call your sons, daughters, and their mothers and give them a stern warning not to piss off that guy. He is an important person whether they like it or not. We finally started seeing some difference in the status quo of the six empires and we can increase our influence in the Union dimension.
If you let him slip by, you will be remembered as the biggest idiot of the whole world for the coming generations.”
