The plan in Claudius’s hand was naturally the one that Tesoro worked overtime and painstakingly on.

It is very detailed and very close to the average level of each country.

This average level is a bit ridiculous, just like if Claudius could have averaged his wealth with his godfather Martha in his previous life, he would have been one of the top ten richest people in the country.

But in actual operation, the average level is a very important data. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. You cannot give a country special treatment and come up with a special policy just because it is too poor, and you also cannot impose high taxes on a country just because it is too rich.

If this continues, sooner or later everyone will be unable to bear it. Perhaps Claudius has powerful means to suppress it, but the resentment will definitely become deeper and deeper.

Therefore, the unified tax standard must be based on the average level. After that, you can help the poor and do what you should do, and no one will say anything bad about you.

Although Claudius had now used powerful means to directly pull down the Five Elders, the one hundred kings had their own plans in mind, but the tax was the key to the survival of their country, so even if it was the plan given by Claudius, they had to look at it carefully and discuss it, and it was impossible for them to kneel down all at once.

This process might take some time, and there was no rush for the World Conference to be concluded, as many rules had to be established, so Claudius was not in a hurry.

Before, Tesoro was not qualified to participate in this world conference, but now the entire venue is under the control of Claudius, so soon, Tesoro rushed here.

“Regarding issues such as economic development and tax reform, you will be responsible for hosting and discussing them. I have to do something else.” Claudius whispered to Tesoro beside him.

Although Tezoro had been the boss of Golden City for a long time, he was still a little nervous when he was suddenly asked to set rules and hold meetings for a hundred kings.

But he also knew that he would have to shoulder more responsibilities in the future. Although His Highness was both wise and brave, he was unable to handle everything. Now that he had become the king of the world, he would have to be responsible for all the countries under the world government. He certainly could not take care of all aspects by himself. At that time, he would need talents like himself to help him.

This time, it was a good experience.

Therefore, Tezulo nodded quickly and said, “Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best.”

“Well, don’t put too much psychological pressure on yourself. These guys don’t dare to go too far.” Claudius patted Tesoro on the shoulder.

After he finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the side of Marshal Zhan Guo and others, and whispered: “I will go meet the Five Elders first. I have to find out the bottom line of Lord Yimu.”

Marshal Zhan Guo also nodded and responded softly: “We are here on standby at any time.”

“Yeah.” Claudius responded, and then without saying hello to the royal families of the member countries, he turned around and left the venue. Lucci followed him like a shadow.

Although the other royal family members were somewhat curious about what Saint Claudius was going to do, no one dared to ask too much and continued to study the tax reform plan in their hands.

The Five Elders were now being held in a room not far from the venue, with two CP-X masters standing at the door. Not caring whether they would jump out of the window and escape or not, Fujitora was sitting downstairs eating noodles with a smile.

There was no strict discipline on them. They could move around freely in the room, and there was everything including wine, tea, snacks and desserts.

At this time, the bald swordsman, who was paralyzed due to the use of his domineering aura, was lying on the sofa. Although he was poisoned, he did not feel any pain, just a little weak.

Therefore, he did not make any moan, but just lay there quietly. However, his eyes were very gloomy and his face looked very ugly.

The Bald King was sitting on another sofa at this time, with his elbows resting on his knees, his hands crossed and his chin supported. His body seemed a little hunched, and his expression was also very ugly, with a hint of sadness.

He was indeed sad. He was in his seventies and had watched Claudius grow up. Among the Five Elders, he had the closest relationship with Claudius. But in the end, Claudius betrayed the organization. The heir who was once expected by everyone became a villain in one fell swoop. Who wouldn’t be sad?

The room was silent. After an unknown amount of time, the blond boss sitting behind the desk suddenly spoke up: “Ah, they really came prepared. After such a long time, the CP agency didn’t show up, and didn’t come to rescue. There are only two possibilities.”

“Either they lost or they surrendered. It’s a very simple guess.” The bearded man said helplessly.

At this point, the CP agency hasn’t made any move, so there can only be two possible results. Either they have been in cahoots with Claudius, or Claudius has already taken action against the CP agency before taking action against them.

But no matter which result you look at, it is very regrettable for the Five Elder Stars.

The curly-haired man who had hardly spoken a word murmured with some emotion: “Before, we only saw that Claudius was reliable and capable, but we didn’t feel the pressure he brought. Now, as an enemy, we feel this indescribable pressure… I think so. With his methods, how could he leave us loopholes to exploit?”

“He had no intention of doing anything. We were totally unprepared. He must have been well prepared to take action this time. It is often said that the outcome of a war cannot be determined until the last moment, but this time, the result was decided right from the beginning…” The bearded man said helplessly.

“He has lived several decades longer than him, but we never expected that the five of us would fall into his hands…” the bald man said in a weak voice.

No matter how careful you are, you can’t guard against a thief in your own home. Who the hell could have thought that Claudius, who was supposed to be on the same side with them, would suddenly take off his pants and show a weapon.

He also used the weapon to hit their weak points very accurately, leaving them with no power to resist. It was really unfair.

“There is no information flow now, and our judgment of the outside world is all based on guesswork… We don’t know what’s going on with that adult?” The Bald King suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four bosses fell silent, and the scene was eerily quiet for a moment.

After a long while, the blond boss’s eyes slightly fluctuated, and he spoke softly: “It has come to this point, let’s not be on guard against each other, everyone, we have worked together for decades, there must be some friendship, right? Tell the truth, who do you hope will win?”

But after he spoke, the room remained silent for a while and no one spoke.

The blond boss smiled and said helplessly: “They are all old foxes… In this case, I’ll start…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four people all looked at him, each of them had some hidden thoughts, but also some expectations, wanting to see what he would choose.

The blond man moved his mouth slightly and said, “Claudius…”

As soon as the name was uttered, the expressions of the other four changed slightly, and then returned to normal.

It’s a bit strange to say, when Claudius was causing trouble, they were extremely reluctant and embarrassed, and they still wanted to use the power of the CP agency to turn the tables.

But when it came to the final selection, the blond boss chose Claudius…

I’m afraid only they themselves know the reason behind this.

The bald king was silent for a moment, then he spoke: “Claudius…”

“Hmph!” The bald man snorted coldly at this time. Although he didn’t say anything, his meaning was very clear. He was just arrogant. Claudius poisoned him and made him feel a little embarrassed. But even so, he didn’t ask to choose Lord Im.

Seeing this, the other two also nodded and whispered Claudius’ name softly.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Although Claudius has done so many “treasonous” things at this time, they still have feelings for Claudius. The reason why they can sit here firmly now is that they have guessed in their hearts that even if they have to step down, Claudius should spare their lives and even let them live comfortably.

Therefore, in their eyes, Claudius is a humane “person” after all.

As for Lord Yimu… in their eyes, he is a god, terrifying, and without any feelings or ties. In front of him, we are like five house dogs. Do we still need to choose?
