Kapitel 721: Nothingness

Carolyn's POV:

If public opinion suddenly moves in one direction like a flock of sheep chased by a sheepdog, there's no doubt that someone is manipulating it.

"Do you think this is the doing of the Jasperian government?" I asked. "Controlling public opinion to pressure us?"

The Queen didn't think so. "No, I believe it's someone else rather than the government. Our cooperation with humans is still in its honeymoon period. Even if this sweet exchange doesn't last forever, it should not be ruined now. Countless businesses, institutions, and individuals are signing contracts with us. If our diplomatic relations worsen, Jasper will suffer a massive economic blow. For a capital-driven nation, it's not the anger of the common people they fear but the discontent of the wealthy elite.

"The Jasperian government might play a default role in it, but most likely, they are not the ones behind all this," she added.
