Chapter 922 About a hidden oprator
She specifically mentioned off papers, so it definitely meant there was a lot more going on beyond the papers, which was a fact.
Nolan was one of the most efficient suppliers, market analysts, someone with fingers in each possible industry one could think of and, someone who operated on both the high and low standards.
She was someone who owned multiple businesses, one of her most famous assets was Hiraani, the empire\'s most famous auction house as well as a place that regularly holds events that attracts attention from the rich people of all over the world.
She had one of the largest networks of trade and there was a special group that worked right under her hands.
She was famous not just because of her excellent abilities and wealth, she was a fearsome woman that had already eaten away at many of the existing famous names all around the world.
There were perhaps numerous victims that had fallen to her sharp talons or had become a subordinate of hers in an attempt to at least save their families.
{ "Money is a fearsome power, and those who know how to use these powers are fearsome individuals that fight a war even more bloody than the ones fought on the battlefield with swords, magic, and weapons." }
As the presentation went on with her words, proof and images of what she was saying, images of Hiraani, images of Nolen and the data on the kind of wealth that she held was presented before all of them on the big screen.
{ "Miss Nolan is a respectable individual that has every right to be present here." }
But, the presentation was not about her.
{ "However, we will be talking about not the Golden demoness that everyone in the Global market fears, but her son… her eldest child Axion Heliox Kromet." }
The information that had been shown until now was all that the public present here either knew about or was pretty much aware of even without the specifics.
Nolan was famous even before her rise a few years ago, and even though she had just recently become one of the core individuals in the world market, her exploits of when she was still under her master, the previous Guildmaster of Faron merchant alliance, to the things that she had done during her Exile, and after that were famous all throughout the world.
She was still not going to stop anytime soon even after achieving all these in this short time period and that was a given fact.
So, it would not have been that weird if this presentation was about her… but, her son, the famous bachelor that got engaged to the representative of the Atraxia not long ago should not be the main topic of an entire presentation that was about the world impact.
{ "There might be some confusion here, I understand, however, please take a look at this first." }
Just like the detailed data that was being projected on the screen behind her, she brought up a new data file that was just as detailed as the previous one.
It also contained all kinds of proofs of ownership, all kinds of things that one couldn\'t just get their hands on if they wanted to, and the most important of them all was the proof of the holdings.
{ "The most famous food brand that is becoming an irreplaceable part of the entire food industry does not belong to the countess, but to her son, the young man who everyone knows about." }
This was a lesser known fact, but, this was still a fact. There was no dramatic reaction to this information but what followed undoubtedly put a lot of people in a daze.
{ "Miss Nolan has already made her son the sole successor of everything that she hold at the moment." }
The first thing that came was the list of all the inventions that belonged to him, or were patented under his name.
Then, there was a list of all the stores and brands that officially were under his name.
Then there were lists of the merchant unions that had connections with these businesses.
And that was not the end either.
Along with the official documentation record of Eon being her sole successor, there was also a record of how she was also listing Hiranni under his name alone.
She owned the entire auction house and she was going to give it to him as said in those documents.
This meant she was going to practically give everything she holds right now to him– making him the future owner of the position she holds right now.
Additionally, since the places and brands and names that were under him did not belong to her, the total assets that he will own would be even greater and beyond what one could imagine.
{ "Axion Heliox Kromet is a fearsome individual." }
The next pieces of evidence she was showing, just like many of the things that she had shown until now, were illegal as well.
But, they were significant to not just the people that dealt with the world\'s economy, but those who also held large military forces.
{ "From the artifacts that could help in one\'s day to day life to the medical techniques that will become the centre of this world in the future, from the weapons of centralised killing to technology that could save countless lives from natural disasters to catastrophes." }
There were a lot of inventions that were already under his name, but the records of them were kept strictly confidential and regulated.
She had obtained all that information through illegal means and she knew very well how she was going to be punished for that crime– however, as Eon and many other people present could already tell, this sly person was exactly after that.
{ "From what is known until now, individual Axion Heliox Kromet is at least a Master level Creator if not higher.
His potential abilities, as known until now include Weapon and magic proficiency of a level where he could teach his siblings, the children of Heliox and Bell famous as the world Prodigies.
A superior intellect recognised by his elder uncle, a great cooking talent recognised by many individuals, Economic understanding and business management abilities recognised by her mother, his potential and sincerity recognised by the head of Atraxia and the parents of his granddaughter, and much more." }
From being able to understand an ancient language and being able to decipher an epic that was written thousands of years ago, to having enough understanding of their ancient techniques to recreate the lost medical art of that civilizations to even having some kind of connection with Lakmer.
If there was a concrete evidence of any kind, be it some kind of a photo, something on paper, or something that could directly tie to him, she had gathered everything that she could possibly find, connected everything that she possibly could, and she had also presented her assumptions before the public that had already fallen silent with a shock.
{ "Thus, as the core of my presentation, I\'d like to request the council to look into this individual and invite him for the following conference." }
She did not mention the Headmaster\'s direct connection with him on purpose. There was no evidence that there was a special kind of connection between him and the person she had taken such keen interest in, but even if there was, she would not mention it here.
Besides, she knew she was saving herself by not speaking about the many things that she was suspicious about.
{ "I will conclude my presentation there, and will be open to the questions." }
She did not know about his contribution in the Lakmer war, she did not know about how he had contributed greatly in bringing down the demons and the demonic followers, she did not yet know about how much she had missed even with that kind of detailed investigation.
She personally wanted to meet him if possible, make him an alley just like many of the people currently present here were thinking, and though she did not know it yet, she will soon find out there was no need for her to request an invitation to him.
"She is something, alright."
In the hidden room, Eon and Rein both were smirking as they looked at the data that she had gathered and compiled.
"She must have used all kinds of sources, bribed all kinds of people, and dug quite deep into the hidden information to find all those things."
He was not expecting something like this the entire time he was preparing for his own presentation.
This came as a surprise to him.
"Looks like you are gonna be famous now, darling."
"I would have been famous without this thing anyway."
The presentation that he was going to give here will not end without any disturbances or questions like hers did.
It was simple, the point was understood, the proofs were shown so there was no need to waste the conference\'s time with any questions.
They understood everything that they needed to understand from this information.
{ "Thank you for your patience." }
Both of them already knew just finishing a part of their presentation without questions or objections or confusion or shock will be impossible.
They had prepared for that, and they were ready for it.
"When is our turn then?"
Her presentation was short but a few hours had already passed since they had started.
Their turn had not come yet, so they were just waiting as they watched the next presentation begin on the many screens before them…
