Chapter 39: Who Can Stop Them
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Mr. Soan!” Gordon didn’t know what to do and couldn’t bring himself to think about it. If kneeling on the ground could do the trick, he would kneel.
The Soan empire had made great contributions to the country. Without them, the technology of the country would beco stagnant for at least two decades.
The country had improved greatly, but not all regions in the country were at the sa developntal level. The country was simply too vast. It was impossible to cover all backwater regions and build roads and tunnels for them all at once.
The country still had a long way to go.
In one of the richest cities in the country, people indulged in wanton lives and spent their nights partying. So rich businessn could spend a fortune at a ti as if money was nothing. Their cars were worth tens of millions, and their villas were ten tis more valuable than that. They also kept as many mistresses as they wanted… Whereas in the poorest towns, people still had difficulty in finding food and water. Villagers there would need to walk for kiloters to get clean water, and their als mainly consisted of wild plants and animals they could hunt. Rice was a rare treat for them.
Moreover, they were surrounded by mountains, deserts, or infertile lands on all sides. Every now and then, soone would fall off a cliff, and their body was never retrieved.
Talk about stark contrasts!
The average inco was also a joke.
A 1.3m person and a 2.7m person had an average height of 2m, but that wouldn’t give everyone a height of 2m. Although the country had a high average inco, that was the effect of the high-inco levels in big cities.
The Soans had been guarding the country without advertising their good deeds. They tried their best to help the common people.
Gordon and Henry knew that Himl Soan was these people’s god. Now that he was gone, these people had lost their will to live.
But they were more valuable alive!
The country needed them.
“Mr. Soan, the country needs you! Please stay! Do you need the president to beg you?”
But Drake wouldn’t budge from his stance. He was ready to accept his fate. “Don’t bother. Even the president can’t change anything. General, you don’t need to worry. We’ll carry out the Patriarch’s command. Before we’re gone, we’ll give everything we have to the country, including all our assets of the Soan empire. You don’t need to worry about that.”
“We don’t need the money! We need all of you!” Henry Lang was getting angry, but he didn’t dare to lash out at Drake. There was a conflicted look on his face. “Mr. Soan, don’t you understand? If Mr. Himl Soan was still alive, he’d have never let you do this!”
Drake nodded. “I know he wouldn’t let us, but it’s just like I said, I’m not forcing anyone to go with . If anyone from the three divisions or the Soan empire wants to stay, they can tell at any ti. I’m only speaking for myself. I won’t push you into making any decisions. I’ll go wherever my Patriarch goes!”
Gordon and Henry looked at Warren, Jas, and the others with pleading looks in their eyes.
“Please don’t go! I’m begging you!”
“Please stay!”
Caroline smiled as she recalled the life she had shared with Himl Soan. “I won’t change my mind. Without my adopted father, I wouldn’t have survived. He saved my life, and he was the reason behind all my achievents. Without him, there’s no point for to stick around! But I hope you guys can stay behind!”
She looked at the ordinary mbers of the three Himlian divisions behind her.
“Miss Caroline, don’t say that! The Patriarch ans as much to us as he is to you! We’re nothing without him!”
“That’s right! We don’t want anything! Nobody can change my mind!”
“Mine either!”
“Mine either!”
“Mine either!”
...
Gordon sighed when he heard their resolute replies.
But Henry Lang wouldn’t give up.
He created a post that contained the information of all mbers of the three Himlian divisions and asked the public to co up with ideas. He only had less than two days.
Drake was waiting.
He was waiting for the road to complete.
And for the other mbers of the Soan empire to arrive.
...
“What? My ticket isn’t right? What’s wrong with my plane ticket? Helen Soan, that’s my na!”
A chubby woman was making a scene at the airport.
Her international flight had just landed, and everything had been fine until she reached the customs check. The official claid that there was sothing wrong with her ticket and wouldn’t let her go through.
“What the hell? Let talk to your superior! Here’s my ID card! Do you see my na there? I’m Helen Soan! Can’t you read? I can’t believe this! Why can’t I prove who I am?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Soan, but you can’t go through!” the official at the custom insisted. Dragon Tribe mbers were guarding all the exits, and it was impossible to force one’s way through.
In her anger, Helen grabbed her bags and suitcases and threw them at the official. “Screw you! I’m Helen Soan! What’s wrong with that? Let through! I need to be sowhere urgently!”
On any other day, she would have been arrested for creating such a scene. If it was posted online, people would drown her with criticisms. But today, the officials only smiled at her despite her insult and physical attacks. They wouldn’t let her go through the custom.
The country had forbidden anyone with the surna of Soan from entering.
It didn’t just happen in the airports. Similar things were happening in train stations as well.
“What the hell is going on? Of course, my na is Frank Soan! My brother is Will, and I’m Frank! What do you an they don’t sound serious enough? What are you talking about?! Let in!”
“I’m sorry, sir, but there’s sothing wrong with your na. You don’t have a valid ID card. Sorry, I can’t let you in!”
Frank punched the man in the face. “I AM Frank Soan! Let in! This is urgent!”
The staff rose to his feet. He wasn’t angry and even bowed at the man.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Soan, but we can’t let you through. Please go back, or we’ll have to lock you up by force and release you three days later! It’s your choice!”
“Damn it! My ID card is fine! You’re doing it on purpose! Let through! Let through!” Frank charged toward the exit of the train station, but the mbers of the Dragon Tribe waiting on the side held him down.
There was a commotion, and two people took advantage. Jumping over the fence, they ran off into the distance.
“Hey, stop them! Will Soan and Penny Soan have escaped! Stop them! We can’t let them get to the sacred temple!”
