Chapter 2426

Diana never forgot his purpose in coming to Qari. He took advantage of the United States desperate need for energy and their intention to start a war.

Before that, he had infiltrated the United States, stirred up trouble, and disrupted their Qari strategy, thus delaying the United States blockade of Somerland. After his efforts, he established his industry and gained a foothold in Qari. He had also built alliances with local powers such as the Elvis family and established their intentions for collaboration.

In fact, through the wedding, he introduced the vision of representatives from other countries who shared the idea of hindering the United States and participated in their meetings to divide Qari among themselves. Among all of these, the greatest achievements were the gun ban and counter-surveillance actions.

The former severed the path for individuals like Rothschild to employ unconventional tactics, While also allowing a clearer understanding of the United States’ influence on local powers.

Meanwhile, the latter wiped out the United States’ eyes and ears in Qari, disrupting their plans and slowing their progress in attacking Qari. These events would undoubtedly cause significant trouble for the United States.

With the ebb and flow, the United States was bound to divert some of its resources to deal with the situation here. After all, their hegemony largely relied on the dominance of the Dollar and its overwhelming advantage in international settlement currencies.

A considerable part of this dominance comes from its position as the global currency for oil transactions.

Any loopholes in their energy monopoly would greatly impact the value of the Dollar, obstructing the United States established routes for global exploitation using the Dollar. This would be tantamount to

cutting off the lifeline of the United States, something they absolutely could not tolerate.

Compared to this, the priority of containing Somerland was undoubtedly significantly lower for them. However, completing all this was not enough.

“Being solely defensive without launching an offensive is not my style. Now that I have established a firm foothold, the next step is to strive for negotiation leverage with the United States,” Diana murmured to himself.

“Milos, what are you muttering about?” A pleasant voice came from behind.

Jamie, wearing a red mermaid dress, walked towards him at a slow pace. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Oh, Rowan’s here. I’m planning to go to the airport to pick him up later…”

“Rowan…” Jamie whispered the name, then asked curiously, “Isn’t he constantly pressured by his father to return to the United Kingdom to inherit the family estate?”

As the heir of South America’s Maynard family, she naturally knew about Rowan, an equally extraordinary young noble, and she knew about Saul and Rowan’s relationship.

In their circle, it had become quite a scandal that Rowan had resorted to losing money in the automobile business to avoid returning to the United Kingdom. It was not until Rowan teamed up with Diana that Lane Automotive amazed the world, and Rowan’s reputation slightly improved.

“Why would he come to Qari instead of focusing on his automobile business?”

In her opinion, due to Saul’s situation, Rowan might have needed to come over to help take over the industry, but now that she had intervened, there was naturally no need for Rowan’s involvement.

At that moment, Jamie seemed to have thought of something and said cautiously, “Is it for his uncle’s business?”

This demeanor was far from that of a dignified young lady and more like that of a woman worried about her man being taken advantage of.

Diana saw Jamie’s reaction and could not help but laugh, saying, “This business should have been his from the beginning. It’s only because he kept refusing that I took charge of it on his behalf. Now that the situation has stabilized, the next step is to truly establish an industry belonging to Somerland in Qari…”

“Only when Somerland truly takes root in Qari and possesses considerable power can we have the leverage to contend with the United States. During this period, Rothschild has been causing trouble left and right. It’s also time to give them a taste of their own medicine.”
