BNN Live Broadcast — Q&A Session Begins
The applause settles. Chris steps back to the mic, his presence still commanding the room. The press officer nods, allowing selected reporters to ask their questions.

Reporter 1 – BNN Global
"Supreme Ruler Chris, with the rise in territorial loyalty and economic power of the BU, what are your next major plans for global infrastructure?"
Chris (nods slightly):
"A unified railway linking every continent. A digital fortress for data security. And a military base on every continent. We won't just connect the world—we will own the roads it travels on."
---
Reporter 2 – Eastern Daily Tribune:
"Sir, there's global unrest from former sovereign countries. How will the Blackwood Union handle potential rebellion or resistance?"
Chris (stone-faced):
"Rebellion? No. What they feel is the fading sting of irrelevance. If they resist, they'll simply serve as examples. We do not negotiate with nostalgia."
---
Reporter 3 – Royal Watch Weekly:
"Has Dictator Christiana officially accepted Baron Elias as her fiancé?"
Chris (smirks slightly, glancing at Christiana):
"She has accepted the title of Dictator. As for the title of wife—that will only be worn by the man who survives her standards. Elias is still under scrutiny."
---
Reporter 4 – Military Eye:
"The military march was described as the greatest ever. Will such displays become tradition or was this a one-time show of power?"
Chris (firmly):
"It was tradition being born. Every year, my birthday will mark the Parade of Dominance. Every nation under BU must host a version. It will be a show of loyalty and strength. No exceptions."
---
Reporter 5 – Western Financial Lens:
"How much revenue was generated from the birthday ball, and how will it be allocated?"
Chris:
"Over 90 billion Blackwood Coins. Twenty percent goes to staff development, forty to defense expansion, and the rest to building the Blackwood Museum—a monument of legacy that will outlive us all."
---
Reporter 6 – Empire Digest:
"What message do you have for other superpowers who still refuse to join the Blackwood Union?"
Chris (cold, direct):
"You are already surrounded. You just haven't admitted it yet."
---
Christiana whispers something to Chris, and he nods. He leans forward for one final remark.
Chris:
"This conference is adjourned. My next message will not come through words. It will come through action."
