Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 367 - These Traitors
Chapter 367 -367 These Traitors
The president of the Eastern Pirate Nation, Kazama Suke, was hosting Ryukawa Sukio. Since his arrival, the nation’s appearance had changed dramatically. The military equipment, economic development, and superpower user organization all experienced great advancements. He was essentially the hero of the Eastern Pirate Nation.
However, Kazama Suke was well aware that Ryukawa Sukio was just a new Maeda Family. Now, he needed the nation’s power, and the nation needed his power, so they were in a relatively harmonious state.

Once he had fully developed, the situation would be unpredictable. Thus, Kazama Suke kept some caution towards Ryukawa Sukio, although he maintained a very polite facade.
“Mr. President, the new energy supply equipment will be completed by the end of this year. It will be ready for civilian supply at the beginning of next year.”
“Hahaha, Mr. Ryukawa is truly a blessing to our country. Come, let me toast you once more.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. President. As a citizen of the country, it’s my duty. I only contribute my share of effort.”
“Yet, Mr. Ryukawa, I still don’t understand. Why do you value that meteorite so much? If you need to conduct research, our observatory has more significant and precious meteorites available for study.”
Kazama Suke knew that Ryukawa Sukio had mobilized dozens of Dark Ninja superpower users to protect the meteorite. If it was just an ordinary meteorite, there would be something fishy, but he couldn’t get any answers from Ryukawa Sukio.
“Old fox!” Ryukawa Sukio cursed silently. “Mr. President, from some analyses based on findings from previous ruins, this meteorite seems to be related to an extraterrestrial civilization. However, I still need to research more thoroughly. Once I’ve fully studied it, it will greatly benefit our nation’s development.”
“Oh?” Kazama Suke hadn’t expected such a revelation. He knew that Ryukawa Sukio had quite a bit of research on ruins on Earth, but whether these words were true or credible, he didn’t dare to make a hasty judgment.
“Mr. President, your phone.” At this moment, Kazama Suke’s assistant reminded him.
“Excuse me, Mr. Ryukawa, I need to take this call.”
“By all means, Mr. President.” Ryukawa Sukio could easily know the call’s content with “Ghost Star,” so it didn’t matter even if Kazama Suke tried to avoid it.
“What? The Maeda Family is here with the Ministry of Finance to collect debt?” Kazama Suke’s expression was serious. “Is it possible that the nation owes them money?”
“No, Mr. President, these debts were left many years ago, even dating back hundreds of years.”
“How could there be such ancient matters? What is it exactly?”
“A land deed and a national debt!”
“Explain further!”
“This… Mr. President, I’ll just send you the images directly.” Yuan Huiguo didn’t have the courage to speak out those terrifying numbers.
“What’s going on? So secretive!” Kazama Suke wasn’t very anxious. Even though he knew the Maeda Family was a historically long-standing family with significant heritage, it wasn’t strange if the nation owed them some debt or land.
They were likely in decline now, which is why they’re presenting such things. Can it be anything of significant value when such items are presented now? The large Eastern Pirate Nation now has potential to break into the top three economies, with Ryukawa Sukio’s help. Are they afraid they can’t repay these debts?
But he had no idea it was quite a bombshell!
“Twenty thousand square kilometers of land? Fifty billion US Dollars of national debt?” Kazama Suke was shocked when he saw these figures. “Are these documents reliable? I’ve never heard of them before.”
“Mr. President, I regret to inform you that we searched through the earliest archives and finally found the originals of these documents. They indeed exist and are genuine.”
Kazama Suke’s vision went black, and he nearly fainted.
“Come to me immediately and notify all relevant personnel!”
“Yes, Mr. President, we’re on our way!”
…
“Mr. Ryukawa, there’s an issue. I need to convene an emergency meeting. I may have to excuse myself today.” Kazama Suke had no mood to continue eating.
“You’re an extraordinarily busy man, Mr. President. I understand. Don’t worry about me. Go attend to your matters!” Ryukawa Sukio had already heard their conversation and knew it might be Fang Jueyu’s way to reclaim the meteorite.
However, even if the meteorite ended up in Fang Jueyu’s hands, he wasn’t concerned. Only Fang Jueyu could open this package, and eventually, the meteorite would end up in his hands.
What he was currently doing was merely to buy time. Once he completed that task, Fang Jueyu might not even be his match. Then he would kill to seize the package, to acquire the top-level civilization’s intelligent system…
…
“Explain in detail, what is going on?” Soon, a large number of senior officials were seated inside the presidential residence.
“I’ll speak about the national debt situation,” Yuan Huiguo said. “Currently, our national debt issuance amounts to approximately 100 billion US Dollars. This amount is dispersed among various countries and our domestic people, and the five billion is not included in this.”
“Where did it come from?”
“Last century, the country needed a large amount of capital for industrial development. At that time, a family called Qingmu directly lent a significant sum. They didn’t require the country to repay the principal, only an annual interest, so this portion wasn’t recorded!”
“Why didn’t we know anything about this?” Kazama Suke asked.
“Because decades ago, a disaster wiped out most of the Qingmu family, and the remaining members dispersed for survival, thus causing the family’s extinction.”
“With the creditors gone, the debt naturally fell by the wayside, and the records were stored in our earliest archives. As the interest accumulated with inflation, the principal plus interest has reached five billion US Dollars.”
“There’s another issue. At that time, the debt was not registered in anyone’s name, and the minister back then didn’t foresee this situation. So, it was stated on the debt that anyone presenting this document could claim the debt and interest!”
“Fools!” Kazama Suke slammed the table. What should have been a written-off debt was now being brought up again after a century due to such a reason.
“What about the land deed?”
“It dates even further back, several centuries ago, when it was bought by a now-extinct Leiteng Family. According to the deed, it still has over five hundred years of validity!”
“What? How could landownership last that long?”
“Sigh, Mr. President, centuries ago, there wasn’t a sound property system.” The head of the Land Bureau said with a bitter face, “Back then, the land was desolate, uninhabited. The Leiteng Family used a considerable amount of precious metals and other equivalent goods to buy a thousand-year usage right!”
“Who could foresee millennia ahead? They just sought short-term benefits, generation after generation, buying up 20,000 square kilometers!”
“Sss!” There was a gasp in the meeting room.
“Traitors! They’re all traitors!” Kazama Suke said through clenched teeth. The things done by people centuries ago were now causing headaches for modern people.
