《Tomb Raider King》Chapter 214: The person aiming for the crown (1)

“T, the Chairman-nim will be okay, right?”
There was an odd silence flowing through the TKBM excavation team right now.
It was great that they had returned to the company and offered up Ramesses's artifact.
Julian's offer was quite smart as well.
‘It's a hundred thousand times better than coming back empty-handed.’
They had invested 20 billion dollars in this Tomb of Pride if they included the cost for the Excavation Rights. They had also received billions of dollars worth of damage because of Seo Ju-Heon.
That was why it would mean that they would have lost all of that money for nothing if they returned without a single artifact.
That wasn't all.
‘We’re really done for if it was revealed that Seo Ju-Heon pretty much killed us.’
That was one of the reasons they debated not taking the item, but the captains chose to take it in the end. They didn't want to be cut from the excavation team. The Chairman's sons were very happy to receive the artifact from them as well.
However…
“D, do you think it was a good idea to offer an artifact Seo Ju-Heon gave us to the Chairman-nim?”
“We were able to get a decent idea of its abilities.”
“That’s right. Its abilities are focused on prosperity and idolization, similar to how Ramesses idolized himself.”
“A prosperity artifact is exactly what the chaotic TKBM needs right now.”
"But we didn't look into the risk……”
Someone started to shout at the person who said that.
“No. The Chairman-nim is said to be dealing with a serious illness right now!”
“When you say serious illness……”
“Well his…… ‘son’ is dead.’
They became quiet.
“Something...

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
