神奇影院

Sitting in the hall, Landon, Timothy, Artemis, and Lucius sat at a long table facing over 50 people seated in the opposite direction on chairs. 

Some crossed their feet, others leaned forward, and some leaned to the side while holding the documents before them. 

Flip. Flip. Flip~

Pages turned, as everyone silently listened to Lucius\'s secretary, Emilia speak. 

Amazing!

They, Omanians were not like the rest of the world who looked down on women so much. 

Yes. It\'s TRUE that women didn\'t go to war and whatnot, but that was because women were men with naturally less strength than men. 

Those were just simple facts. 

What\'s more, the conditions in this ear were so bad, with women seeing their periods or menstrual blood once or twice a year. 

This meant the body was already taking too much in these harsh times, making childbirth very hard. 

Any little accident might permanently damage their wombs.

What\'s more, menopause came to them before they were 30.

In some cases, by the time they were 22, their bodies refused to get pregnant.

A man\'s lineage rides on this.

This was why most women were in a hurry to give birth before the dreadful 20.

At 20, both men and women are already considered adults, very old. 

20 to them was like 40 back in modern times. 

People expect you to have more wisdom and so on.

At least for the Omanians, this was why they held their women like eggs, afraid they would break.

Today\'s harsh society has beaten the human body to what it is now. 

According to Landon\'s statistics, almost 35% of women are \'pronounced\' barren. 

Even When Baymard Started medical care years back, many Baymardian women were shocked to find themselves pregnant for the first time in their \'old age\' of 31 or even 37. 

Throughout their existence, they never once got pregnant!

Do you know how many sleepless nights they had praying and crying for a child to come?

It was thanks to Baymard\'s education, more and more women were opening their eyes realizing that it\'s okay to do other jobs meant for men, so long as they ate well, and treated their bodies with utmost care.

Women can work without issues for so long among men?

Even the Omanians were shocked to see female warriors, doctors and so on working alongside women so easily within the Baymardians squad. And just take a look at that discipline. 

How did they get the women to become as obedient as their men when doing assignments? 

Anyone who has been with a woman would know how complicated their thinking patterns were. 

Women placed emotion in every little thing. 

This was why it was harder to tell them to obey a command. 

Many were talking from experience. 

Men would do it and charge on the battlefield silently

 But women would always question it all. 

Why this? Why that? Why, why, why, why!

It wasn\'t a bad thing to be curious. However, excessive curiosity can put dangerous thoughts into one\'s head. 

All in all, they were shocked to see women among the Baymardians. 

When asking Lucius if the job didn\'t affect their wombs, Lucius gave them a brief lesson on why most women experience menopause earlier and childlessness. 

Listening to Lucius\'s stories, many widened their eyes in disbelief, swearing to visit Baymard\'s hospital once they got there. 

F***!

Didn\'t you hear what he said? 

Baymard had a way of making deaf people hear. 

The list of surgery procedures they could do was alarming and unheard of. 

Just exactly what sort of place was this Baymard? 

Everyone looked at Secretary Emilia and was pleased with her work ethic.

Hey, if they too had a female secretary who did such efficient work, they wouldn\'t care whether she was a man or not. 

If most Baymardian women worked like this, then it was no doubt the men didn\'t care what gender they were.

.

Concerning how these Byamardians had their meetings, everyone was secretly pleased with how organized it was.

Look. 

Everything they were supposed to talk about was already printed on the Agenda.

Time allocations were also made, and periods for Q&As also added.

Every day, the last segment of their meeting was left for Q&As. 

There were also water bottles and a set of pens and pencils placed on small stools to their left.

People who felt parched drank the water and secretly in marvel at how refreshing it tasted.

Even stream water has an outdoor taste to it, even if it was drinkable. But the water they drank now was truly tasteless. 

Alright.

Briefly looking at her watch, Emilia flipped to the last page of all, which was a general outline of everything they spoke of over these 3 days.

"To conclude, Baymard will honor its promise with the great Empire of Soma, ensuring everything written is strictly followed… Moving on to the next segment, it\'s time for questions and answers. Please, you may raise your wooden plaques in an orderly fashion as we\'ve done enduring these past 3 days." 

With that Emilia left the stage, joining Landon\'s secretary who was focused on taking meeting minutes.

The duo sat on the side as quietly as possible almost as though trying to make themselves invisible. 

Almost immediately, everyone failed their wooden plaques like students in a classroom except their plagues had their first names, as well as their titles written on them. 

This way, everyone would know who they were.

It was also very convenient for the Baymardians too.

"Minister Cletus, the floor is yours."

"Thank you, your majesties." The long, golden beard man expressed, before coughing to clear his throat. 

"Although it\'s been explained, I would like to confirm the matter again. In Section, blah blah, Article blah blah... the speaker spoke of Education. Now, from what you said, there is free education for those before the ages of 6 (0~5)... But from what I\'ve gathered, this is the case only for UN empires, correct?"

Landon nodded. "That is true. Baymardians and UN empires get free Preschool education… But for non-treaty signed empires, Preschool costs 2500 Bays for an entire year. That\'s 2 semesters."

"I see." Minister Cletus replied, thinking of his sister\'s family in another Omanian empire. 

Listening to the benefits they had over non-treaty signed empires, everyone was also pleased with such special treatment. 

After all, it wouldn\'t be fair to put them in the same position as non-treaty signed empires. 

Their perks didn\'t stop there. 

Even with library access, they could go to higher floors in the public and libraries compared to non-treaty signed empires. 

Their Visas/passports were different, their credibility in Baymard was higher and so on.

This made them know that no matter whether they were there or not their people won\'t suffer in the slightest.

Good. Good. Good. Good. 

Timothy smiled broadly. "Okay! Let\'s sign this treaty!"

Boom!

The words were like fireworks in everyone\'s hearts.

It wasn\'t a loss to have such powerful backers.

.

"Nephew, you said you are heading back tomorrow?"

Landon nodded. "Yes, Uncle. But don\'t you think it should be <WE> heading back?"

"Of course, I know this!" Timothy happily retorted, looking at his eager ministers. After Landon leaves, he will finalize his list of those going and those staying.

Those going will have to pack up fast. Landon has said each person can bring at most 10 family members. He didn\'t mind. 

So if they wanted to leave with their family, they had to hastily prepare for departure tonight.

On this trip, the chosen Oma teachers will also be taken, as well as the newly appointed Soma Ambassador alongside his wives and children.

His family will only be visiting for a while because when Timothy and the rest return, they will follow back too.

Someone has to keep the ambassador\'s home running in order. 

Most chosen ambassadors who had many wives, did rotational ships, with some wives coming for 4~6 months and leaving before another wife came over. 

Those with only a single wife, had their wives visit as many times as they liked. The only thing is that the visits must not be long as their home needs tending after. 

For others with grown children, they quickly left the home to them and stayed in Baymard with their wives.

All in all, Timothy had everything planned.

"Nephew, I can\'t wait to see this Baymard of yours!"

Landon grinned harder too. "Don\'t worry, you won\'t be disappointed. That, I can assure you! And while we\'re away, my people will stastay back and help you all secure Soma, until the Baymardian Seaport structure is marked as satisfactory."

Yes. Soon, they too will have the privilege of taking ship cruises as they liked.

However, that wasn\'t the only thing making Landon Smile… or should he say cry.

Ding!

[Congratulations host, for repelling Adonis forces and signing the Soma treaty. 

For your reward, you have escaped death again.

Clap for yourself]

\'T^T\'

For once, can his system be nice?
