To Be a Power in the shadows part 2

chapter 132

<-This chapter is unedited.->

Finally, this day has come.

The counterfeit factory that we built underground has ceased its operations right now, and the remaining workers are preparing for a full withdrawal.

The factory has served its purpose.

"John-han, please take a look at this."

In the form of John Smith, I opened a huge iron door when urged to, by Yukime.

Hidden behind that door was a large quantity of gold coins, piled up so high that it reached the ceiling.

"Splendid."

"Most of the counterfeit bills have already been redeemed. Is this enough?"

This was the lowest area of the underground facility, the very place where my sister was imprisoned at; that prison was renovated and now acts as a huge safe.

Countless gold coins shone, glimmering golden and winking at me.

This factory still hasn't been found yet.

The Great Trading Alliance and the Mitsugoshi Company have traced the counterfeit route all the way until the Lawless City, so I took a break from school, and kept watch all day.

After that, I succeeded in completely cutting off the trail that lead from the Lawless City to our factory.

Everyone from the Mitsugoshi Company also tried their hardest, but they overdid it, and antagonized the Alliance.

It can't even be considered a fight for them, to go against those sly old foxes from the Alliance with only the cheat knowledge.

That's why I will become [The boss of the large organization that controls the world from the shadows].

The Mitsugoshi Company will be absorbed into the newly created J&Y Company, only then, will I have truly become a [ POWER IN THE SHADOWS].

The girls might hold a grudge against me, but I will gladly accept it.

For that is also the way of a [ POWER IN THE SHADOWS].

"Now, if we exchange the rest of the real banknotes we'd prepared beforehand, it will all be over. The Alliance no longer have enough funds to convert this number of banknotes. The credit system will collapse."

As Yukime converted the counterfeit bills into real money, she also collected the real bills.

All that is left to collapse the system, is to exchange that money from the Alliance. The Alliance already doesn't have the monetary power to convert it. When that fact come to light, it will cause a bank-run panic, then after that, the Great Trading Alliance itself will collapse.

The oncoming panic will also spread to the Mitsugoshi Company as well.

When the Alliance collapses, people will surely think 'Will the Mitsugoshi Company be okay?'.

Finally, we only have to swoop in and take over both companies with the large amount of money we've gained, and establish the J&Y Company.

That seems to be what Yukime has planned.

The specific details might be wrong, but I guess it probably was something along those lines.

"Right. The merchandise prices have already increased due to the amount of circulating money, and that increase rate is ......"

I casually bring up the data in Beta's report, and promote my information gathering ability.

"John-han, to think you have gathered that much information......."
