The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2071 Those Behind the Terrorists?

On an island in the East Sea that was so small that it could only accommodate a maximum of 5,000 people without becoming overcrowded, human constructions covered its entire area.

But even though it was a tiny place, more than 30 ships were stationed around this island. At the same time, the local population consisted mainly of high-level Sages and some Demigods.

In the center of the island, a large building was built at a higher level than all the others, and it was located at the highest point of this relief.

In this place, a man at level 96 was meditating with his eyes closed and a terrible expression on his face.

This was none other than the leader of one of the most active organizations in the Spiritual World right now, the leader of the radicals who are operating all over the planet!

But while he was meditating to break through to level 97, his sister, the number two of the terrorist group, a level 95 woman, was in charge in the very building where he was cultivating.

She was currently with those who formed this terrorist group about four years ago when they realized the opportunity in front of them.

They were not the first to act on behalf of the weak people of this world who could benefit if the powers of this world surrendered to the aliens.

People who really believed that surrender was the right way to go were the first to start fighting against the official powers of the world, trying to stop the development of new technologies by the strongest in the world.

But as soon as these people found out about the movements that were gaining volume worldwide, they seized the opportunity to profit and began to get involved in the cause of these people for gain.

By joining the radicals, organizing them, and moving them to their own advantage, this group of about 10 people created an extremely lucrative business!

In just 4 years of operation, they had netted over 50 million high-grade crystals, enough for each of them to be considered a powerhouse capable of creating their own state!

That amount was definitely not enough for them to create something of the highest level, such as what Minos was currently doing or what the world’s leading powers were investing in.

But with this amount, they could build a state from scratch and bring it to the level of the Black Plain Empire.

Minos had less than that when he started his journey decades ago. So it wouldn’t be impossible for this group to do what he had done if they had the time to try.

Of course, time was a problem for everyone, as the aliens and the ice age were about to catch up with everyone.

In any case, these Demigods, who had previously been mere mercenaries in the Spiritual World, had reached a wealth level that only nobles and rulers had!

But they still wouldn’t stop what they were doing!

The sister of the leader of this group said to her companions while they were in a large meeting hall. “The world’s powers are putting more pressure on us than ever before, and things will be difficult from now on. But that doesn’t change the fact that we have a great chance of making crystals.

As hard as it is for us to recruit new soldiers to fight for our interests, the opportunities for gains will not change in the short term.

Our actions over the past few years have already done a great deal of damage to powers around the world. The prices of the products we sell will not decrease in the short term. And given the lack of them on the market, nothing will affect our profits. Even if we stopped using our soldiers now, we could still double our capital in the next two or three years.” She smiled.

She was worried. She still wasn’t sure if they could enjoy what they had built up over the years. But she believed they could make a lot more.

With more resources, they could get closer to their goal, which was to obtain the best defensive and offensive weapons that the powers of this world would produce in the coming years.

Unlike the fools who had started the terrorist movement for surrender, they didn’t believe in this nonsense. They believed the world would be wiped out, and they wanted to get enough resources to buy the technologies that some of the world’s strongest powers were developing!

But everyone there believed that these technologies wouldn’t come cheap, so making a profit was paramount for everyone.

“We have the equivalent of 20 million high-grade crystals in food and other essential resources that we invested before we launched some of our most serious attacks.” The group’s number three commander said. “If we look at the current value of these products, our 20 million high-level crystals alone are already worth more than 60 million.

Even if we stop fighting our soldiers, we’ll still make a great profit from selling these products.”

The people in the hall liked what they heard. As long as things continued like this when they had used everything they could from this operation with the radicals, they could come out of this deal with more than 10 million high-grade crystals each.

With that amount, everyone there was confident that they could at least buy their way into the strongest organizations in the world!

‘Years ago, I was just a low-level Demigod, a mercenary on the Divine Continent. But in another year or two, I can surpass all my old acquaintances and buy a place in even the strongest organizations in the world.’ One of these individuals thought to himself with a smile on his face.

Another man who thought the same thing said. “We must use the radical cause as much as possible. Even though our current achievements are great, they are not enough.

I recently went to the Central Continent to negotiate with Blackrock to gain a place in their kingdom. But the rulers there won’t agree to negotiate what they’re getting from Minos Stuart for less than 10 million high-grade crystals. So we need to be able to negotiate those reserves but also make new deals beyond that,” He said, determined to scrape together enough to get his deal with that state.

Blackrock did not know who it was dealing with. This man had approached this state, just as others there had tried to approach other places around the world, promising to migrate to places where they could help sovereign families in exchange for opportunities to access alien technologies.

The alien technologies were so rare and high-level that these people were not only willing to pay but also work and advocate for those who had access to these resources.

Not only were they interested in this kind of business, but virtually every state and power in the world with some access to alien technology received proposals of this kind.

So Blackrock didn’t know who it was dealing with, let alone the origin of the coins the man had promised.

Others in the room were in similar situations, so they agreed.

“Let’s take advantage of the current situation as much as possible. We’ll end our operation if we don’t have any more soldiers to fight for us or even if the enemies are close to finding out who we are.” The faction leader’s sister said, and everyone agreed.
