Daisy's eyes sparkled with admiration as she replied, "Mr. Smith claims he's as rich as a nation. Tsk, tsk. A man of wealth, looks, and talent—truly the perfect package. I knew I hadn't misjudged him."Adam could only respond with stunned silence.Evan's journey to the futures exchange where Daisy and Adam were stationed was purposeful. He intended to relay real-time information about Nikrosia's domestic situation to Jeremy and Philip in Elysia, facilitating their currency market transactions.After all, it was time for him to make his move.En route, Evan placed a call to Jeremy and Philip:"Jeremy, Philip, I'm about to take action. From this point on, I need you to divide your efforts. One of you should continue to manage public opinion, while the other focuses on financial operations—specifically, using yen to purchase dollars in the forex market.""I'll provide you with up-to-the-minute updates on Nikrosia's internal developments and transfer funds as needed."Jeremy and Philip re

This dire situation forced the Emperor and members of the National Diet to issue emergency decrees. They ordered the expedited arrival of aircraft carrying foreign exchange reserves from other nations. Simultaneously, they made an impassioned plea to all Nikrosians, urging them to stake their personal fortunes alongside the government and corporations in a united front against this external threat.These inflammatory rallying cries ignited a fervor across Nikrosia."If it's a fight the Elysians want, then by the gods, we'll give them one!" roared voices from the streets."To think that a mere Elysian youth could bring us to the brink of national ruin! Damn him! I'll wager every last yen to my name. Let him face the full might of the Nikrosian Empire!" another citizen bellowed."Indeed! We'll match his game with our own resources. Does he truly believe he can single-handedly vanquish the Nikrosian people and the entire Southeast Asian bloc?" echoed yet another impassioned voice.Meanwh

"Honestly," Evan sighed, rolling his eyes at both of them. "What's the matter? You're acting as if you've never seen money before."Never seen money? This kind of wealth was beyond anyone's comprehension!Meanwhile, Nikrosia's nationwide fundraising effort of $4023 billion began to enter the market, attempting to buy back the yen.At the same time, Jeremy and Philip were working at a frantic pace. The sheer magnitude of Evan's transfer had left them stunned, but more pressingly, the task of converting such an enormous sum into yen on the forex market was a Herculean effort.They found themselves compelled to collaborate with other top traders in the country, working together to convert this vast sum into yen before releasing it into the Nikrosian market.Of course, they distributed this money to other top traders in carefully measured batches. If they were to unleash such a colossal amount all at once, it might arouse suspicion among the other traders. A simple trace of the money's or

The newcomers were none other than the masked Evan and Daisy.The pair strolled towards the emperor as casually as if taking a leisurely walk through their own garden.As soon as they halted before him, Emperor Akihito cried out shrilly, "Who are you? How did you infiltrate my palace? Where are my guards?"It was well known that the imperial guards were all elites handpicked from the Self-Defense Forces. It should have been nigh impossible for outsiders to bypass them and enter the palace directly!"Who are we?" Evan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of arrogance. He gestured slightly with his chin towards the terrified Sebastian Parker and his associates, saying softly, "Ask them, and you'll know who I am."Emperor Akihito turned a puzzled gaze towards Sebastian Parker and the others, only to see the directors of the six major consortiums looking as if they'd just been doused with ice water - soaked to the bone and wild-eyed with fear."Who is he?" the empe

The demon king's words acted like a fuse igniting a powder keg. No sooner had they fallen than the totems encircling Evan and Daisy's feet erupted in a blinding crimson light.Countless wraiths poured forth from the glyphs, their wails echoing through the air. These spectral entities slowly coalesced, forming a grotesque demon with a blood-dripping trident and tattered gray robes, flickering in and out of existence amidst the blood-red glow.Emperor Akihito, Sebastian Parker, and the Diet members felt as if they had been plunged from heaven into hell in an instant. They stood slack-jawed, their hearts quaking with terror.This scene before them was far more horrifying than the demon king's black blood from earlier.After all, they could rationalize the black blood with scientific knowledge - human blood, when highly concentrated, can appear nearly black.So when they first witnessed the black blood, they were merely puzzled for a moment before their expressions turned jubilant. They h
