Sounds like The Guide is about to help Liam again. He is plotting to destroy the empire, the empire's top two candidates for emperor are plotting to destroy each other and make an enemy of Liam while cutting off their own supply lines to his rare metals.
Surely the gratitude this time around will be another near fatal dose, if not outright destroy the guide when Liam realizes he spurred outside forces into attack his latest enemies.
i certainly didn't put that 2 and 2 together... it's hilariously Brilliant~~

Thanks for the chapter!

Did they cut part of it I swear this past was way longer in the novel (maybe they moved it?) or I am remembering the webnovel, or simple getting it wrong.

Anyway at least Liam has no way to get the genital explosion desease

I wonder what the guide will actually do. He seems to think that external chaos will take down Liam and his domain, but it seems to me that his domain is fairly self-sufficient and well-protected. If there is chaos, people will just flee to wherever it is safe, so I can imagine how knowledge and capital would migrate into his domain (if they hadn't already since the conditions there are fairly appealing). Moreover, if the empire falls, then that opens the door to warlords that want to expand their domain and that's exactly where Liam's expertise lies.

Also, it seems that the guide hasn't realised that Liam already generates chaos; I don't know what the guide's plans to sow discord in the empire were, but Liam is way ahead of him on that since he's apparently initiated a succession war in the empire. I'm sure that the guide is thinking that creating external chaos in surrounding countries will make them unable to trade with the empire, which will in turn cause stability issues within the empire, however since Liam has a tool that can just create resources it'll just mean that everyone will become dependent on him for trade.

I guess we'll start seeing Liam "play around with women" only in the next chapters, as we get to see the succession conflict escalate into a war. I wonder how Liam will retaliate to the second prince's plot to sanction and frame him.

oh look, a fresh dumbass has stepped into the arena.
The thought process of "He sold us plenty so we aren't currently struggling and can therefore pressure him" is insane. My guy if he sold you enough for the whole empire to no longer be in a deficit how much do you think he's got access to for his own use. To say he is Rich is an understatement he could likely financially outlast the empire's sanctions without issue they'll run out before he does.

The 'threat' is to heavily limit the amount and/or cost they'll buy from him now that they're not desperate for it. He's assuming Banfield's wealth come from selling these rare metals.
And if Liam is just sitting on a stash he can't sell, maybe he'll be desperate to sell that he submit, or if he sell to other countries they can accuse him of being a traitor and apply harsher punishments.

It doesn't seem like he even consider the idea that Liam might just put those materials back into developing his territory. He's got more planets under his domain after defeating the Berkley afterall.
Or heck, the 3rd prince's.
I can imagine Liam thinking if he just build/own everything in 3rd prince's force then the threat of Liam ever decide to abandon him would keep the 3rd prince obedient....

(Do they not have news there?)

Hey, you know that guy who came up from nowhere, has been slaughtering pirates his whole life and recently started ending entire households?

Oh yeah. You mean the guy who commands a massive military force which keeps growing exponentially as if he has unlimted money and resources?

Yeah, that guy. The schmuck who not only has never lost a war, he one sidedly slaughtered all his enemies without taking any casualties every time.

What about him?

He a little b*tch. Let's go fight him!

Great idea your highness!

It's not like the 2nd prince can sanction the 3rd prince. The 3rd prince is still a prince very close to the throne, especially now with real backing, so no mere officials who'd supposedly monitor the sanctions could spit in the 3rd prince's face. Liam can sell to the 3rd prince and the 3rd prince will grow richer selling it to the rest of the empire. Those sanctions would be pretty meaningless.
