That was what I was thinking the whole time. If they tried to impose any restrictions, just stop selling to their military and only to enemies. For added flavor, you make the whole truth about the staff come to light to hurt the government. The MC had all the power in the negotiation and chose to be stupid and just fold.Kinda weak chapter, presenting the other guy as if he was bad and smarter stomping on our mc. When our MC could just fuck off to another place and be like "oh okay I can't sell explosives here thats fine, time to strengthen the military of the neighbour country lets see what happens lol".
There's a reason of why noone fucks with a company that has a monopoly of something.
Nikolai considered the option of assassinating Takeru earlier, but decided against because it would rile up the commoners and people who supported him as a hero. As soon as he walked out the door of that office without agreeing to hand over the staff, he would be under constant observation for any reason to eliminate him. If Takeru was to start moving his assets to another country, this would give them the excuse to label him as a traitor and kill him.Kinda weak chapter, presenting the other guy as if he was bad and smarter stomping on our mc.

I can kind of understand him being dumb because he even mentions it, but he was not alone...That was what I was thinking the whole time.

That's cool and all, but he has the resources to fight back and as you already said, he's a hero. As much as people like to think of these medieval times where commoners didn't have power Vs nobles, they actually had a fucklot if they decided to revolt - who the fuck feeds the nobles if not the commoners? who outnumbers the nobles? He's asking for trouble trying to kill a hero.Nikolai considered the option of assassinating Takeru earlier, but decided against because it would rile up the commoners and people who supported him as a hero.
