Chapter 477: Gua Jia Plan - 01
Right now, he needed to work and dedicate himself to the cause—his new lord's cause.
After that, Daniel introduced Cao Cao's work to Guan Yu. Guan Yu accepted the terms and began working under Cao Cao without causing any more fuss. Cao Cao assigned Guan Yu the task of understanding modern warfare and its weaponry. He also instructed him to train with the soldiers in Nicholas's squad to grasp modern warfare concepts and avoid relying on ancient warfare tactics during modern conflicts.
The same task was assigned to Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia had professional knowledge about modern warfare tactics due to his advisory role, he still possessed an ancient mindset that might limit his potential in the modern world.
But Daniel stopped Guo Jia before he went to study modern warfare.
"Ah, please wait, Mr. Guo," Daniel said, stopping Guo Jia from leaving the office to join Guan Yu in watching the training.
"How may I help you, my lord?" Guo Jia asked, piquing Cao Cao's interest as well.
They remained in Cao Cao's office, with Daniel still seated and enjoying tea.
"There is something I need your help with, Mr. Guo. It's quite urgent," Daniel said, then recounted what had happened.
Daniel explained the problem he had with the refugees and why he couldn't act as he wished. He discussed the issues with the UN, the potential trade sanctions, and the trouble caused by the ungrateful refugees in his territory.
After listening, Guo Jia thought for a bit and then smiled. "This could be said to be easy to solve and also hard to solve, my lord. It depends on how much investment you wish to put into this. May I know your budget, my lord?" Guo Jia asked.
"Mr. Guo, if you mean monetary budget, it's unlimited. I have a continent-sized amount of gold within my dimensional vault," Daniel said with a smile. He had plundered the entire hell realm from Mammon, making it difficult for him to be poor.
Hearing the extent of Daniel's wealth, both Cao Cao and Guo Jia were stunned. A continent-sized amount of gold within a vault?! They knew their lord was wealthy but not to this degree.
"That's great, my lord. If that's the case, it will be very easy for you to solve this. It might take some time, but you can solve it. First, we must divide and conquer," Guo Jia began, then explained his plan to Daniel in detail. Daniel repeatedly nodded with a smile, convinced that this plan was likely to succeed.
— A Few Days Later - Refugee Camp —
— POV Change —
My name is Pedro Costa. Right now, I'm sitting in my own tent. Although I say it's my own, the influx of refugees fleeing from Tessia Kingdom has been overwhelming. This tent used to belong solely to me, but now I have to share it with others.
Well... I feel uncomfortable, but it's okay. We are in tough times, so I can share, as long as that brat—the child of that MILF—doesn't pee on the bunk bed.
Come to think of it, my refugee life isn't that bad. I didn't have the best life back in Tessia Kingdom either. I worked as a rider when I lived there. It wasn't the best job, but it was enough to feed myself. Yes, just myself.
Now, I'm working as a volunteer around the refugee camp, carrying water, cleaning, and doing odd jobs like delivering packages and letters to the refugees. Some royal family extremists do not welcome the authorities here, so they avoid the camp.
The authorities of Astral Tech have been dealing with those extremists lately. It seems like Astral Tech has had enough. Hmm… come to think of it, I think it started two days ago. Astral Tech stationed their power-armored soldiers to patrol the area since normal police usually get mugged at night. So, they use power-armored soldiers now.
The first time I saw those vets in power armor patrolling the area, I nearly pissed my pants. I thought the Astral Group had decided to genocide us. But fortunately, that wasn't the case.
Ugh, I need to cut back on my YouTube binges. Listening to Auschwitz documentaries before bed isn't good for my mental health, especially when I'm a refugee myself.
Back to the topic of those blockhead extremists getting owned—two days ago, they gathered about 1,000 or 1,500 people and went to a nearby superstore. They wanted to rob the place like they did many times before, using their numbers to intimidate the police and law enforcement.
They went to rob and hid their faces as usual, but on the way back, they got surrounded by several squads of power-armored soldiers.
Ohhh, I was working as a volunteer nearby and saw it with my own eyes. Those idiots had the same reaction as me, nearly pissing their pants. They immediately played the drama, crying out for help and shouting that they were about to be killed.
Then it started. The guy in black power armor shouted through his built-in speaker about the extremists breaking the law and immediately arrested them. Then the black power armor guy aimed his special gun at the extremists.
When they fired, I saw that the bullet transformed into a net—a very large and durable net. I saw those extremists get tangled within the net that constricted itself. Some extremists tried to use their cutters to cut the net, but the cutters didn't even make a scratch! That's one hell of a net, I say.
