“Find all of those who had substantial gains during the crash and bring the list to me. I want to find out if it is either luck or if they knew about our plans ahead of time” George gave the order to the presenter when he realized that their gains were not up to their expectations.
“But sir, if they were privy to our plan, they would have likely employed a similar strategy of using multiple accounts for their trades. Consequently, it will be an arduous and time-consuming task to identify them, if we can even find the evidence at all,” the presenter replied, unafraid to provide his rationale, fully aware that if he simply accepted the task and failed, he would face severe consequences.
“I am not concerned about the duration required to locate them. Their actions resulted in our anticipated gains of over a trillion being diminished to a mere 700 billion, with more than 300 billion being taken away from us. Do you think I care about the time and resources needed to find them? Just get it done,” George ordered sternly, his tone leaving no room for any response other than compliance.
“Yes, sir,” the presenter replied obediently before exiting the meeting room, allowing the family, and board members to have a private discussion among themselves.
“Why do you believe that someone had knowledge of our plans?” Aubrey inquired, curious to understand what his son had observed from the presentations after the presenter had left.
“Based on our calculations and numerous simulations, we had a comprehensive understanding of the events that were expected to unfold, and we made appropriate preparations. When the market crash occurred, everything transpired as planned, from the substantial loss of around 4 trillion to the subsequent recovery after a brief pause.
However, the significant deviation came in the form of our gains. Our projections indicated that our gains would surpass the trillion mark, but they fell short and amounted to only around 700 billion.
This suggests that either our calculations contained an error or an unforeseen factor intervened. The most influential factor that could account for such a substantial deviation from our expectations is the possibility of someone else being aware of our plan and taking measures to claim a share of our winnings,” George elaborated, outlining his reasoning to the others.
“That’s true. Ensure that you investigate the cause of the deviation and retrieve what was taken from us. However, let’s not forget to celebrate the victory in the present moment. A win is a win, so let’s celebrate it first before shifting our focus to uncovering the source of the issue,” George emphasized, reminding everyone to appreciate and acknowledge their success before delving into the investigation.
Upon hearing his father’s words, George composed himself and responded, “Yes, father. I intended to celebrate the victory, especially knowing that we managed to inflict damage on the Rothschilds as planned.” He made a conscious decision to set aside his anger towards those who exploited their actions for personal gain, saving it for later consideration.
“Good,” Aubrey said, a smile gracing his face. He then shifted his gaze towards the other board members in the room, who had remained silent throughout the father-son exchange. “Let’s reconvene for another meeting after the celebration,” he announced, effectively concluding the day’s meeting.

Universal simulation.
“With the Morgans no longer in our path, it’s time to escalate the revolutionary movements,” Aron remarked to Nova.
[What do you have in mind] Nova asked excitedly.
“When Felix approached him to seek his assistance in acquiring the telecommunications companies, didn’t we assure Adolf that gaining control over the internet would also provide us with the capability to monitor it?”
[Ooh, I see where you’re going with this,] Nova responded with enthusiasm. [You want to leverage our control over the internet to manipulate Adolf into arresting the other revolutionary leaders. By eliminating their leadership, their groups will become leaderless, ultimately paving the way for Alexander’s group to take charge.]
“Exactly,” Aron confirmed. “Not only that, but it will create a sense of chaos and unrest in numerous cities, compelling Adolf to deploy military forces to suppress the protests. He won’t want the protests to persist until the day of the event. By using him to send soldiers to these cities, we can strategically position our forces to take control of the local governing bodies in the cities when the time is right. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
[Should I also prepare to intensify the turmoil by spreading the news of their arrests immediately after they occur, or should I let it unfold naturally?] Nova asked.
Aron paused for a moment, contemplating Nova’s suggestion. “I think it’s best to let it unfold naturally for now,” he replied, carefully considering the potential implications. “Allow the news of their arrests to spread gradually and organically. We want the impact to reverberate throughout the revolutionary circles, creating a sense of uncertainty and instability. It will further disrupt their cohesion and solidify Alexander’s group as the dominant force to follow.
Let’s adopt a wait-and-see approach and leave that option for contingencies, in case the public’s reaction doesn’t align with our expectations,” Aron suggested, recognizing the importance of not trying to control every aspect of the situation.
[I will make the necessary preparations in advance,] Nova responded, revealing her intentions to develop alternate plans based on various potential reactions from the public.
“You do that, and I’ll inform Felix about the plan,” Aron said as he logged out intending to call Felix and discuss the details of their plan, assessing whether Felix would be able to execute it himself or if they needed to assign someone else to carry it out in his stead.
……
“Can you handle it, or should I assign someone else to take care of it?” Aron inquired, seeking confirmation from Felix after explaining the task he wanted him to undertake.
“I’ll handle it, no need to worry about me. In fact, it’s better if I take care of it,” Felix assured Aron. “By being the one to carry out this task, it will appear as if we are making efforts to regain his favor after the mishap of providing free internet data to the citizens for an extended period, which caused him some losses. It will help create a perception of us trying to mend the situation.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to accompany you, just as a precautionary measure in case anything unexpected happens,” Aron informed Felix.
“Sure,” Felix replied, and after a brief further conversation, they concluded the call.
Immediately after ending the call, Aron dialed John’s number.
“Yes, sir,” John responded promptly upon answering the call.
“I need you to send someone to accompany Felix tomorrow when he goes to the presidential palace,” Aron stated directly, as he was sure that John would want that too.
“I will dispatch him right away, sir,” John responded promptly.
With that, Aron ended the call and immediately logged back into the universal simulation.

(Turmoil in Eden)
Eden, a land once filled with hope and aspirations for change, now finds itself caught in the midst of a shocking upheaval. The visionary leaders who had passionately championed the cause of the people and fought for their rights have been confronted with an unexpected twist of fate. Just a fortnight prior to the eagerly awaited annual celebration, anticipated to be a grand platform for their protest, all but one of these revolutionary figures have been apprehended, leaving the populace stunned.
The arrests were executed with remarkable secrecy and precision, catching the revolutionaries off guard and plunging the movement into disarray. The sudden absence of their revered leaders created a void that seemed insurmountable, and the people of Eden were left grappling with the profound implications of this abrupt turn of events.
In response to the arrests, a tidal wave of protests erupted, resonating throughout the vast majority of Eden’s cities. Squares and streets became the bustling epicenters of these demonstrations, drawing together citizens from all walks of life who were united in their desire to voice their grievances. The sheer number of protesters was a resounding testament to their unwavering resolve: the people of Eden were no longer willing to further tolerate the stifling of their fundamental human rights.
As the protests gained momentum, Adolf, the dictator presiding over Eden, found himself confronted with an arduous predicament. In a bid to quell the escalating unrest and reinstate a semblance of order prior to the commencement of the celebratory events, he made the controversial decision to deploy military forces across various locations throughout the nation. This deployment intensified the atmosphere, thickening it with tension and unease as the people and armed forces stood in stark opposition to each other

After reading the news article about the turmoil he had participated in causing, Felix said “Looks like the beginning of the end has begun.” as he realized that the revolution was nearing with each passing second.
