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 become stagnant for at least two decades.

The country had improved greatly, but not all regions in the country were at the same developmental 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. Some rich businessmen could spend a fortune at a time as if money was nothing. Their cars were worth tens of millions, and their villas were ten times 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 kilometers to get clean water, and their meals 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, someone would fall off a cliff, and their body was never retrieved.

Talk about stark contrasts!

The average income 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 income, that was the effect of the high-income 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 Himmel 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. Himmel 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 me. If anyone from the three divisions or the Soan empire wants to stay, they can tell me at any time. 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, James, 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 Himmel 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 achievements. Without him, there’s no point for me to stick around! But I hope you guys can stay behind!”

She looked at the ordinary members of the three Himmelian divisions behind her.

“Miss Caroline, don’t say that! The Patriarch means 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 members of the three Himmelian divisions and asked the public to come 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 members of the Soan empire to arrive.

...

“What? My ticket isn’t right? What’s wrong with my plane ticket? Helen Soan, that’s my name!”

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 claimed that there was something wrong with her ticket and wouldn’t let her go through.

“What the hell? Let me talk to your superior! Here’s my ID card! Do you see my name 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 members 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 me through! I need to be somewhere 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 surname 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 name is Frank Soan! My brother is Will, and I’m Frank! What do you mean they don’t sound serious enough? What are you talking about?! Let me in!”

“I’m sorry, sir, but there’s something wrong with your name. 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 me 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 me through! Let me through!” Frank charged toward the exit of the train station, but the members 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!”
