Summon of The Sword novel Chapter 682

"What sustains a nation..."

Harry froze a little before thinking with a frown.

"Are the people and the citizens."

Harry said a few seconds later.

"That's right.

"But there are many different types of people.

"What sustains a country are businesses, politics, and the army!

"Large countries have heavy troops to protect themselves and their people.

"Top politicians make decisions about the state.

"Business magnates control the economic lifeblood."

Harry instantly understood and nodded his head as Zander said this.

"Brother Sean has lost his influence in the army.

"Getting involved in the business world is the most efficient and quickest way to gain influence.

"It's also the only way we can take."

Zander poured Harry more tea, sounding serious.

Sean was not short of money and could make Reach For Will Group expand and develop rapidly.

Given time, he could build a business empire.

"Could he do that in River City?"

Harry asked again after he understood.

"I don't know.

"But Brother Sean said other cities can't give him what he wants, but River City can.

"He said River City might be small and inconspicuous among the countless cities of Dragon Kingdom.

"But you can make a big splash if given the chance.

"I don't know what's on his mind, but I'll do whatever he says."

Zander picked up the coffee cup, speaking in an earnest tone.

"Brother Zander, I got it now."

Harry nodded heavily, no longer as frustrated as before.

"Now, let's go back to that topic.

"It's not that Brother Sean doesn't want to contact his old connections. It's because he can't.

"Again, you have to be tough to forge iron. How can people respect Brother Sean if he has nothing to offer?

"Speaking of which, I've seen a lot of new things since I returned to the civilian world.

"Look at this app. It's called TikTok. I watch it when I'm free.

"Influencers with five million followers would never hang out with influencers with only hundreds of thousands of followers.

"Why do you think that is?"

Zander's statement gave Harry an epiphany.

Both were at different levels and not in the same circle.

If Sean had to go to his adopted father's old connection, it was no different than begging.

More importantly, it was unlikely anyone would want to offend Blaze, who was now a nine-star Commander, for him even if he begged.

"Brother Zander, I got it now!

Harry nodded his head heavily, all doubt dispelled.

"Do your job.

"The Commander has never let us down."
