Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Heidler



His hand was completely numb now, not to mtion his arm. Would it have to be amputated?

But of course, ev if he were to cry, he had to smile through the tears.

He nodded resolutely, "From today onward, we are all one family. We share the same glory and stand as one!"

Graf\'s face flushed with excitemt as he thumped his chest and shouted, "We stand as one, and share the same glory!"

As Julian watched the boys and girls shouting hysterically, he marveled at how a simple ceremony and a few words could have such a profound effect. His heart raced, and he squinted slightly, feeling a surreal ssation sweep over him.

The establishmt of the Fellowship Association in Terneil was like a drop of water in a vast lake, too small to ev create a ripple. Ev those who learned about it through certain channels didn\'t care much.

A group of kids forming an association—could such a trivial thing impact the underg structure of Terneil, which hadn\'t changed for years? Don\'t be ridiculous. Not to mtion the small gangs that could only control one or two streets—who would dare challge the major gangs?

They had professional forcers, and more importantly, heat crossbows and thermal ergy weapons, which civilians wer\'t ev allowed to own!

These were powerful weapons. A single thermal ergy crossbow could wipe out twty to thirty people in one sweep. Thus, everyone saw the Fellowship Association as nothing more than child\'s play.

Although many disregarded the establishmt of the association, some did take notice. One of them was Heidler, a promint figure in Terneil\'s upper class, the vice presidt of the Terneil branch of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and a Guar himself.

Heidler was a Guar of legdary status and one who had long be ostracized by his own people.

This might sound confusing, but before the fall of the Guar Kingdom, some Guar had surrdered early, becoming "good citizs on the side of justice." One such person was Heidler\'s father.

At the time, in order to short the war and reduce casualties among the Ordinians, the Star Empire granted these surrdering Guar great befits and privileges, hoping to "convert" the remaining resistance in the Guar Kingdom.

Indeed, these individuals had a significant impact, but after the fall of the Guar Kingdom, their situation became awkward. The Ordinians no longer wished to grant them privileges and found excuses to revoke some of their rights. This devastated Heidler\'s father\'s family, pushing them to the brink of bankruptcy.

Heidler\'s father evtually died from a stroke, leaving the crumbling family business to Heidler , who was th barely twty years old.

Through his exceptional skills and personal abilities, Heidler rose and fell several times before finally solidifying his place in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, becoming a person of high status.

Having expericed so many ups and downs, Heidler was ev more eager for the scattered Guar people to unite. But he couldn\'t do it himself. His position was already high ough that others were beginning to grow wary of a Guar holding one of the thirty-six seats in the Chamber of Commerce. If he made a move, those wolves in the shadows would have an excuse to kick him out.

Wh Heidler heard that a man named Julian Kesma had established a Fellowship Association, he immediately began investigating everything about Julian

Heidler wanted to meet this young man named Julian for two reasons.

The first reason was that his currt position was very ssitive and awkward. In the eyes of the Ordinians, the Guar people were a "conquered race." For the Ordinians, who harbored a strong sse of superiority, the Guar people were considered "inferiors," defeated and unwelcome losers.

Now, the fact that one of these losers had managed to become one of the thirty six council members of the Chamber of Commerce was something many found unbearable.

Had Heidler not be extremely cautious and avoided making any missteps, he would have be voted out of his position long ago.

Therefore, he needed power—a force strong ough that, ev if others had objections to him, they would have to grudgingly accept him. This power had be on his mind for quite some time, and it was other than the scattered Guar people.

Once they were united, with Heidler guiding and leading them, for the sake of stability, both the empire and the Chamber of Commerce would have to consider Heidler, the "leader" of the Guar people.

Only in this way could he continue to grow his influce.

The second reason was actually an extsion of the first. Heidler needed someone to help him not with business matters, but to handle things that couldn\'t see the light of day.

There\'s a saying in the capitalist circles: "If you become kind, you\'ll have to face countless demons." This phrase doesn\'t seem to have much problem on the surface, but what it really speaks to is the dynamic betwe the attitude of capitalists and the exploited.

The former cemt tycoon Dorfalk was very good to his workers, offering higher wages than other industries and ev providing some befits, always maintaining a fridly relationship with them.

Later, however, Dorfalk faced fierce competition from his business rivals, who banded together to form a new company and gaged in brutal competition with him. They used cheaper labor to produce lower cost cemt, shattering Dorfalk\'s market defses. To protect himself, Dorfalk had no choice but to reduce workers wages and befits to cope with the pain caused by malicious price wars.

Wh both sides had suffered heavy losses and were ready to call it quits, Dorfalk\'s workers wt on strike.
