Volume 7 Chapter 12 - Sentenced To The Death Penalty (1/2)

This year’s Sines Continent Magic Machine Industry Conference was an event that all the countries of the continent, even everyone on the continent paid attention to.

According to the list announced, there were fifty seven nations and three hundred and twenty six companies that had been invited by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Just with this, there were over two thousand people who attended.

The ones that didn’t receive the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s invitation and didn’t appear on the list far surpassed that number.

At the same time, the various newspapers had sent reporters to cover this conference, so everyone’s eyes couldn’t help being gathered on this event.

With this much attention, the day before the conference began, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce announced something that quickly spread and caught everyone’s attention.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s organizing committee had announced that the Yash Duchy had lost the right to attend. At the same time, the Yash Duchy would lose all rights to attend any conference held by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

When this news spread, it immediately created an uproar.

The Sines Continent Magic Machine Industry Conference was already in its fifth year. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had always wanted to promote the development of the magic machine industry with this conference, so they invited more and more representatives each year, hoping to welcome any country or company that was interested in joining the magic machine industry.

With this goal, there were more and more participants and naturally the scale of the conference also became bigger. It could be said that everything was developing well.

However, this year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had directly stripped a country of their right to participate, even judging that this country would no longer have the right to participate which was shocking.

Although the Yash Duchy was only a small duchy, it was still a country no matter what.

Before this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu Yi had firmly expressed that he hoped the countries of the continent could put down their old concepts and actively join the new magic machine industry, using this new industry to improve the lives of their citizens.

So the Frestech Chamber of Commerce always had a positive attitude towards towards any country that wanted to cooperate, not discriminating against any of them.

So why did the Frestech Chamber of Commerce suddenly give this death sentence to the Yash Duchy?

Right, for most people, this statement from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a death sentence for the Yash Duchy and it wasn’t exaggerated at all.

Since Arch Magus Levin Hasko fell while attacking the Frestech Chamber of Commerce five years ago, all the countries and all the people of the Sines Continent didn’t have any doubts about the influence of the magic machine industry. They started actively investing in developing the magic machine industry.

Even the Candra Empire and the Marlow Empire had put down their attitudes, going to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on their own initiative to cooperate with them on various projects.

After several years of development, all the countries fully realized the changes brought by the magic machine industry.

Everyone was certain that the magic machine industry was already the most important thing on the continent. If there were countries that weren’t involved, they would fall far behind and would perish.

In these years, all the countries did all they could to build relations with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. They hoped that they could receive technical support from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, developing their own magic machine industries.

But at this time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had declared that the Yash Duchy had lost the right to participate in this important conference, which was losing the opportunity to develop their magic machine industry.

The fate awaiting this small duchy was only death.

But why was this?

Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu always had a strong stance, he supported developing the magic machine industry very much, always being willing to provide help to other countries. He had never discriminated against any countries or companies, so why did he target a small duchy like the Yash Duchy?

People’s questions were explained by the «Banta Times» that came out the same day.

The Yash Duchy being kicked out of the conference was big news, so naturally the «Banta Times» would base their headlines on this.

According to the information from the «Banta Times», the Yash Duchy had been treated like this by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce because they had secretly sent people to kidnap two staff members from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, with one of them being a researcher. They wanted that person to do research work for them, as well as giving up the magic machine related materials that they had.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu flew into a rage at this and immediately deemed the Yash Duchy the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s enemy. Not only did the Yash Duchy lose their right to participate in the conference, they were cut off from cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi even said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would have the right to investigate the Yash Duchy over this matter.

This meant that it was possible the Frestech Chamber of Commerce might take military actions against the Yash Duchy…..

At the end of this report, the «Banta Times» had indicated that the Yash Duchy could only blame themselves. The reactions of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce could be understood. No one should think about moving against their staff or stealing their technology, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would definitely retaliate to this.

After reading this article, everyone understood the reason behind this matter.
