I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 456
‘Does Somerland have such a family?’
A question popped into David’s mind.
“Old Master Stefani, what about Somerland?” David asked.
“Yes, Somerland also has many families like this hidden in the dark, but in the past, the military power of Somerland was strong enough to completely deter them, so they did not dare to come out so freely. However, with the expansion of the magnetic field, large weapons are about to be rendered useless, and these families will start popping up. Alas… We have both internal and external troubles,” Mason sighed.
“Old Master Stefani, they should also be part of Somerland, right? Why don’t they help us resist foreign enemies, rather than become Somerland’s internal worries? If Somerland is seized by foreign forces, their life will be made more difficult too, right?” David was a little puzzled as he asked.
He did not understand why these hidden families would cause trouble for Somerland.
Everyone was on the same boat.
Once the ship of Somerland capsized, no one on that boat would have it easy.
“Sigh, you don’t understand. Actually, these families…”
After that, David left Old Master Stefani’s place.
Today, he had touched on the hidden side of this world.
According to Old Master Stefani, there were many powerful families hidden in the shadows around the world who could control both countries and resources.
They had a long heritage and profound background, and their power had even penetrated many large countries.
At the same time, there were also many hidden families in Somerland.
These families were around since the ancient times of Somerland. When Somerland was invaded by other countries, they did not come together to fight back.
In fact, they did not have the slightest sense of belonging to Somerland. In their opinion, the more chaotic Somerland was, the better it would be for their interest.
However, eventually, Somerland became an empire under the leadership of Mason, who enacted a series of laws to govern its people.
Hence, they no longer dared to cause trouble because of Somerland’s strength. Instead, they could only hide in secret. Despite this, they were the group of people who most badly hoped
for Somerland’s ruin.
Since Somerland’s legal system was strict and everyone was deemed equal, if a person with power killed an ordinary person whom they thought of as an ant, the person would still be punished by the Somerland government.
This was the most unacceptable thing to them. In these hidden families, they had to follow the rules of the hierarchy and the direct line of descent of the family had the power to kill their subordinates.
In other words, they still adhered to the ancient system.
The nobles had the right to take action against the commoners. This completely countered Somerland’s statecraft philosophy.
There was no such thing as a superior in the current Somerland.
Whoever broke the law had to be punished, and it did not matter who it was.
However, because of the expansion of the magnetic field, the threat of Somerland’s large firearms had been reduced and these hidden families had begun to grow restless and hoped to come out of hiding.
David could not imagine this.
Once these people controlled Somerland, what would Somerland look like?
Civilians would have no human rights and these self-proclaimed nobles would become even more unscrupulous.
At this moment, apart from Somerland, other places in the world including Falconia were actually more or less implementing this concept.
However, they were still doing so subtly..
No!
He had to reach the point where he could deter all these forces as soon as possible.
He had to protect the current sacred land of Somerland.
