The bald man had just received the news and immediately reported it to Alfredo. Everything happened so suddenly, catching them off guard.
"Rare earths? Ores? Are they trying to loot a burning house?" It was the first time Alfredo encountered such a situation since taking office, facing simultaneous sanctions against the Independent State from entire continents, which he found baffling.
"The rare earth mines in Continent M suddenly implemented limited sales a while ago. Many people suspected there was some issue with the mines. Now, cutting off cooperation with the Independent State raises suspicions that someone might be manipulating the situation intentionally."
"As for the ores from Continent F, the control over the diamond and rare ore mines lies entirely in the hands of Continent F's overlord. Like the rare earth mine owner in Continent M, their identities are shrouded in mystery."
