Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1276

My father wasn't surprised by our reactions at all.

He continued solemnly, " This mineral distribution map represents the global mining landscape. We could control three-fifths of the world's total mineral resources if we could implement mining operations in Torado alone. That doesn’t include mining operations in other continents."

His words left us both speechless.

Immediately, Atlas asked, "So when Archie mentioned that my father wanted to discuss something with him before his passing, it was about the BZ plan? He said he was in an important meeting at the time and couldn't make it to Foswood as my father had suggested.

“They planned to meet at another time. But before that meeting could take place, the tragic news of my parents' deaths in the plane crash arrived. Archie has always regretted that. He said my father sounded really serious at the time.”

"Yes, that was the plan. Do you know why your father focused his business in Torado and ended up in Foswood?"

"To leverage resources and gain support from influential figures," Atlas summarized concisely.

My father slapped his thigh. "Exactly. He intended to leverage Archie's power and mutual support to implement the BZ plan smoothly while ensuring that the mineral resources remained in our country.”

"Everything seems to make sense now," I commented.

My father continued gravely, "We meticulously evaluated all the heads of state. There was no better option than Zydan, especially since Archie is a selfless man of great integrity, admired by the public for his moral character."

"That's why we decided to focus on Zydan after thoroughly examining all the heads of state. This was also the real reason why your father decided to be based in Torado.
