Living With My Lady Boss

The incident affected the entire country, so a lot of Modans chose to flee Moda. Moda's population was reduced by ten percent that year itself.

A country's citizens were the root of its economic development and were also an important factor in the existence of a nation. With ten percent of the population fleeing Moda, the country went into a frenzied state. Meanwhile, Kosanto's population increased by half a million people in that same year.

Moda could not allow that, so they decided to attack Kosanto by using the Night Demon virus to cause a disaster in Kosanto.

Moda believed that if Kosanto was disrupted by the Night Demon, its citizens would flee Kosanto, and Moda would be their best bet.

Wilbur was curious about what happened in Moda two years ago. However, the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense had no detailed information on the matter. Wilbur could only call Layla.noveldrama

"Please give me a minute, Mister Penn. I'll forward the intel I found to your phone."

Layla hung up and Wilbur waited for a minute, and she sent him the intel as promised. Wilbur discovered important information from the classified intel Layla sent. Two years ago, the underground water level in Moda went down by five meters.

Meanwhile, a lot of rumors appeared within the nation, and all of them pointed to the water source. Moda was rumored to be facing a drought five years into the future, and it would be the worst drought Moda had ever faced.

The Modans who lived in the desert and knew it well had always treated water as important as their lives. Many people would die of thirst if there was a drought. Some people would rather move away from Moda to avoid the crisis.

Those rumors were proven to be false as the underground water supply remained stable for the next two years. There was plenty of water to go around. However, a lot of people believed in the rumors and left Moda.

Moda's officials investigated the matter and found out that the Kosanto government was the one that started the rumors. It was retaliation from Kosanto for Moda's forceful takeover of the mines that belonged to Kosanto.

Where there was smoke, there was fire. Modans were prideful people. They would not allow the weak to question them. Therefore, Moda started creating the Night Demon virus. They were ready to sacrifice twenty percent of Kosanto's population to save Moda's pride.

Initially, everything was going according to plan. However, no one expected Wilbur to appear right before the operation began, killing four of Moda's powerful cultivators and burning the military outpost down.

Moda was informed immediately, and the officials sent Smith and Mackley to drive out to the borders and apologize to Wilbur. They wanted Wilbur to spare Moda and not interfere in this matter.

A Sanctuary level cultivator could freely travel to any nation, after all. Emperor level and pre-Emperor level cultivators would even receive preferential treatment. An Emperor level cultivator would be regarded as a distinguished guest by the rulers of a nation.

Wilbur was not only an Emperor level cultivator, but he also killed four powerful cultivators all on his own, which proved his capabilities. Modans were prideful, but they were humble in the face of true power.

Smith drove an SUV in the desert with Mackley in the passenger seat. Mackley helped himself to a banana and asked, "Dude, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that Wilbur Penn did something like that?"

Smith replied, "The mines weren't ours. To me, this happened because Moda was overly ambitious. If our officials knew how to ease up, they should've just released those Kosanto citizens two years ago. This scandal wouldn't have happened."

Mackley said, "I heard this operation is a classified one. The public shouldn't hear anything about it."

Smith said, "That'll depend on how well we can get our job done."

Mackley said, "Look. Is that Mister Penn?"
