It had been a month since Henry Wu was executed. Although this seemed like a small event, however, it had repercussions around the world.
It was convenient for the Reiden to have a scapegoat to pin all the blame on; but now that Henry Wu was gone, the raiding attacks had become even more intense. The population wanted to see the multinational disappear. And with the disappearance of the company's major shareholders, the Reiden soon went bankrupt.
This was bound to cause a financial meltdown. While no one seemed to care, the Reiden employed an insurmountable number of people. When it faced the inevitable bankruptcy, many would remain unemployed, resulting in an alarming rate of unemployment.
