Chapter 74: The Formation of the International Trade and Economic Growth Committee

The floating sky island was abuzz with activity. Delegates from across the supernatural world had come to marvel at the International Supernatural Community Convention, and Raizer Phoenix was about to unveil yet another bold initiative. Over the past few days, the convention had hosted auctions, cultural exhibitions, and diplomatic discussions. Now, Raizer was ready to address a matter close to his heart: the future of economic growth across the supernatural factions.

Seated in the grand central plaza, leaders from every corner of the supernatural world eagerly awaited Raizer's announcement. The atmosphere was tense with anticipation. The convention so far had exceeded expectations, but everyone knew that Raizer was far from finished.

The Stage Is Set

The grand stage in the central plaza shimmered under an enchanted sun. Magical screens floated above, displaying the flags and symbols of the attending factions. Behind the stage, holographic visuals depicted charts, graphs, and glowing magical constructs—all designed to emphasize the importance of the day's announcement.

Raizer stepped onto the stage, his calm confidence commanding the attention of the crowd. Dressed in a sleek black suit accented with gold, he stood tall, his piercing golden eyes scanning the gathered leaders and delegates. His peerage stood behind him in silence, their presence a reminder of the power Raizer commanded—not just in physical strength but also in influence.

"Good afternoon, esteemed leaders, delegates, and friends," Raizer began, his voice carrying effortlessly through the plaza. "Over the past few days, we've celebrated the diversity of our cultures, the strength of our alliances, and the potential of our supernatural world. But today, I want to talk about something that binds all of us together—our economies."

A murmur rippled through the crowd, curiosity sparking in the eyes of the attendees.

The Problem

Raizer's expression turned serious. "For far too long, our factions have operated in isolation, focusing solely on their own interests. While independence is important, this lack of collaboration has led to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and, in some cases, economic stagnation."

He gestured toward the holographic screens, which began displaying graphs and statistics. "These charts show the economic growth rates of various factions over the past decade. You'll notice that while some factions have seen steady growth, others have faced significant declines. Why? Because they lacked the resources, knowledge, or opportunities to adapt to changing circumstances."

The screens shifted to display a bar graph comparing different factions' growth rates. The disparity was stark, with some bars towering above others.

"Without proper economic collaboration," Raizer continued, "these disparities will only grow. And when one faction suffers, it weakens the entire supernatural world."

The Solution

Raizer's tone shifted, his voice steady and determined. "That is why, today, I am proud to announce the formation of the International Trade and Economic Growth Committee."

The crowd erupted into murmurs, many leaders exchanging curious glances.

"This committee," Raizer explained, "will serve as a platform for economic collaboration, development, and transparency. Its purpose is simple: to ensure that every faction has the tools and information they need to make informed decisions about their economies."

How It Works

The screens above displayed a detailed breakdown of the committee's structure and objectives.

1. Annual Economic Reports

"The committee will produce Annual Economic Reports, compiled by professional accountants, economists, and statisticians. These reports will provide detailed insights into the economic performance of each member faction, highlighting growth trends, challenges, and opportunities."

Raizer gestured toward the charts on the screen. "With these reports, leaders can make decisions based on reliable data rather than speculation. Whether it's investing in infrastructure, adjusting trade policies, or identifying areas of potential growth, this information will be invaluable."

The crowd nodded in agreement, the practicality of the idea resonating with many.

2. State Loans for Development

"One of the committee's most important functions," Raizer continued, "will be the facilitation of State Loans. These loans will be provided to factions in need of economic assistance, but with one key condition: they must be used for developmental purposes."

The screens shifted to show examples of development projects:

• Infrastructure improvements such as roads, bridges, and magical transportation networks.

• Education initiatives to train the next generation of leaders, scientists, and magicians.

• Healthcare systems, ensuring the well-being of all citizens.

Raizer's voice grew firm. "These loans are not a free handout. They are an investment in your people, your future, and your role in the supernatural community. And they will be closely monitored to ensure they are used responsibly."

3. Equal Representation

"The committee will include representatives from every participating faction," Raizer added. "Each representative will have an equal voice in discussions and decisions, ensuring that no faction is left behind. This is not about control—it's about collaboration."

The screens displayed an image of a round table, symbolizing equality and unity.

"This platform will allow us to share knowledge, pool resources, and work together to overcome challenges," Raizer said. "Whether it's rebuilding after a natural disaster or adapting to changes in global markets, the committee will be there to support its members."

The Goal

Raizer stepped forward, his golden eyes meeting the gaze of the crowd. "The ultimate goal of the International Trade and Economic Growth Committee is simple: to push for development. Every faction, every culture, and every race has something valuable to offer. By working together, we can unlock the full potential of our supernatural world and create a future where prosperity is not limited to a few but shared by all."

The crowd broke into applause, their approval resounding through the plaza.

Reactions and POVs

Elder Longwei (Dragon Clans)

Elder Longwei stroked his beard thoughtfully as he listened to Raizer's speech. "A bold idea," he murmured to his granddaughter, Meihua. "Few devils would dare propose such transparency."

Meihua, her admiration for Raizer growing, nodded. "He's not like the others, Grandfather. He sees the bigger picture."

King Murad (Marid Jinn)

King Murad of the Marid Jinn leaned back in his chair, his golden eyes gleaming with approval. "The boy is clever," he remarked to one of his advisors. "This committee will give him unprecedented influence, but it's a necessary step. Our world needs someone willing to unite us."

Queen Nayana (Naga Kingdom)

Queen Nayana of the Naga Kingdom nodded slowly, her serpentine eyes narrowing in thought. "A united approach to economic development," she mused. "It's ambitious, but it has potential. If Phoenix can deliver on his promises, this committee could change everything."

Ajuka Beelzebub

Ajuka Beelzebub, seated among the devil delegates, was already analyzing the implications of Raizer's proposal. "The transparency of the reports alone will revolutionize how factions approach trade," he said quietly. "Phoenix continues to surprise me."

Sirzechs Lucifer

Sirzechs Lucifer glanced at his fellow Demon Lords, a faint smile playing on his lips. "He's building something that will outlast him," he said. "Raizer Phoenix isn't just playing politics—he's shaping the future."

Closing Remarks

As the applause died down, Raizer gave a final bow. "Thank you for your time and your trust. I look forward to working with all of you to create a brighter, stronger supernatural world."

The leaders rose to their feet, applauding once more. For the first time, many of them felt a sense of genuine hope—hope that the supernatural world could overcome its divisions and work toward a common goal.

Cliffhanger: A New Chapter Begins

As the crowd dispersed, whispers of the committee's potential filled the air. Raizer Phoenix had once again demonstrated his vision, earning the respect and admiration of leaders across the supernatural world. But as the event continued, one question lingered:

Could Raizer's vision truly unite the factions?
