Chapter 243

Stephen said, "It'll take too long. Celestial City is a financial hub. If these businesses leave, it'll lose at least a third of its GDP."

Celestial City originally had a GDP of 2.5 trillion, but they gave 350 billion dollars to the South Regent as ransom. Then, a few companies left, and they lost another 150 billion. Now, only 2 trillion dollars remained.

If more companies left, and the GDP dropped by another third, it would bring it down to 1.4 trillion, nearly half of what it started with. Once the ball started rolling, even more companies could lose confidence and follow suit. The chain reaction would destroy Celestial City's economy.

"The loss in GDP is the least of my concerns, but what happens to me is the real issue." Stephen's voice trembled.

The more he thought about it on the way there, the more frightened he became.

The Grand Marshal had fought and sacrificed so much, and being his mentee meant shouldering a huge burden. However, here was the kicker-Stephen was not his real mentee and had not learned anything from the Grand Marshal!

Not only did Stephen not benefit from the mentorship, but he was now stuck with all the responsibility as well. It was a terrible deal. He was losing out big time. Meanwhile, Ethan was probably laughing himself to sleep every night!
