Decision of governments

Heads turned and eyes widened as the leaders looked at each other, stunned by the Indian representative's report. They all knew how powerful a nuclear bomb was, and the fact that the crystal could withstand it was beyond belief.

The Indian representative continued "They said the barrier is permanent and air, water, electricity can pass through city level barrier and humans and things made by them can easily pass through both barriers. And we had confirmed it to be true."

The room was silent, as the representatives absorbed the information. This was indeed an astonishing development, and the implications were huge. But there was still one concern that lingered in their minds - the terms that keshav had laid out.

One by one, the representatives of different countries spoke up, voicing their concerns and anxieties about the ramifications of keshav's proposal. Some were eager to agree to his terms, seeing it as a small price to pay for such powerful protection. But others were hesitant, worried about the consequences of giving so much power and wealth to a single entity.

The discussion continued late into the night, with the room growing more and more tense with every passing minute. Each country was desperate to protect their own interests, trying to think of a way to make the best deal possible.

As the hours ticked by, the representatives grew more and more tired and irritable. But the issue was not close to being resolved, as each country stubbornly clung to their position, unwilling to compromise and give annual 1% tax to Keshav and jasmine.

They did not even think of attacking and controlling keshav and jasmine as their barriers can withstand nuclear bomb. What can they do to harm them.

The atmosphere in the room was electric with tension, as the representatives bickered and argued, each trying to outdo the other with their own proposals and counter-proposals.

As dawn approached, the representatives were still going at it, locked in battle with no clear end in sight. The air was thick with exhaustion and frustration, but still they refused to back down.

Then someone said who had done rough calculation "The estimate total tax collected worldwide is roughly between $15–21 trillion USD annually, so 1% of it will be $150-210 billion USD annually"

The room was suddenly filled with a stunned silence as everyone did the math in their heads. The amount of money that they would have to pay keshav every year was staggering. Some representatives looked shocked, others looked concerned.

Then someone said "It less than internet company like go**le which has amounted to an annual revenue of 348.16 billion U.S. dollars throughout 2024, "

The room fell silent again, as the representatives digested this information. Some were surprised to hear that a single internet company could generate that much revenue, while others were relieved to hear that the 1% demand was not as outrageous as they had initially thought.

After a moment of contemplation, one country representative asked, "But what if we don't agree to keshav's terms? What then?"

The room was filled with a collective unease as everyone considered the implications of rejecting keshav's terms. A few representatives spoke up, saying that they couldn't risk not having the crystals. However, others were still hesitant, worried about the long-term consequences of giving so much power to keshav.

The discussion continued, with the representatives weighing the pros and cons of accepting keshav's terms. Some were willing to take the risk, seeing it as a small price to pay for the safety and peace of mind. But others were still not convinced, and the debate grew heated once again.

Hours passed, as the representatives went back and forth, attempting to reach an agreement that would satisfy all parties involved. But the discussions were fruitless, as each country stubbornly clung to their own interests and refused to make any significant concessions.

Then someone said "Lets add few conditions like

1. All money transaction will be through bank no cash.

2. They will have accounts in a bank of bank country from which they are receiving 1% of tax, and the money will be deposited in respective account.

3. Can use account of any country in any country they want.

Now please suggest if someone else want to add something to these conditions. Then we will vote. Countries who agree will buy the crystals.

The room fell silent once again as the representatives considered this proposal. Some were pleased with the idea, seeing it as a way to ensure that the money was properly handled and accounted for. Others were concerned, worried that keshav would have too much power and influence if they had access to such vast amounts of money.

After a few moments of consideration, one representative spoke up, suggesting that an independent third party should be appointed to oversee the financial transactions and ensure transparency. Others chimed in, adding their own conditions and suggestions to the proposal.

The room was filled with a flurry of activity as the representatives negotiated the terms and conditions. Some suggested strict reporting requirements, while others wanted regular audits and reviews. Others still wanted to limit keshav's ability to use the money, to prevent them from becoming too powerful.

The final terms suggested were as follows:

1. 1% of tax from every country would be paid to the chosen bank account yearly.

2. A third party (could be a government entity) would be appointed to oversee the financial transaction and ensure the safety and transparency of the transaction.

3. All money transactions would be through the bank only and no cash would be accepted.

4. keshav can use the account of any country they want in any country they want.

The room was silent as the representatives contemplated the final terms. Some looked satisfied, while others looked uneasy. But it was clear that this was the best deal they were going to get at this point.

Then Indian representative said :- "Lets take for 1 break in which all representatives can talk with respective governments. After it all of you can tell whether your country agree or not. We will relay the answer to keshav."

The room nodded in agreement, and the representatives decided to take a short break to consult with their respective governments back home. They agreed to reconvene within an hour to share their decisions.

As the representatives dispersed, the room was filled with a flurry of activity as they quickly made their way back to their respective countries. The tension in the room was palpable, as everyone knew that this decision would have far-reaching consequences for their countries and the world at large.

After one hour, the representatives began to trickle back into the room, their faces betraying a mix of anxiety and determination. As they took their seats, the air was thick with anticipation. The first to speak was the Indian representative, who reported that they had received confirmation from their government that they agreed to the terms.

One by one, the representatives reported back their respective nations' decisions. Some were in favor, some were not. But eventually, as the final votes were counted, it became clear that more countries were in favor than not.

Once the results were announced, there was a collective sigh of relief in the room. But at the same time, there was also a sense of unease and foreboding. For better or worse, this decision would have far-reaching consequences for all nations involved.

Then Indian representative called Keshav while phone was on speaker for other representatives to hear

The room was silent as the representatives waited patiently for keshav to answer the phone. After a few moments, there was a click, and a voice came through the speaker.

"Hello?" Keshav's voice was calm and composed, betraying no hint of the significance of the moment.

The Indian representative took a deep breath and began to speak, laying out the final terms that had been agreed upon. There was a long pause on the other end of the line, and the room held its breath, waiting for keshav's response.

Keshav replied "Ok, we agree to these terms. Estimately how many barriers will you be needing"

The Indian representative hesitated for a moment, uncertain of the exact number. He turned to his colleagues and after a few moments of discussion, they came up with an estimate. "We'll need approximately 20,000 crystals to cover cities and 200,000 to cover towns, we are leaving villages out for now as we don't have exact number. The need of crystals of barriers needed to cover dungeon will be continuous as more dungeons keep on appearing but for now we will need 300,000." The Indian representative said into the phone.

There was another pause on the other end of the line, as keshav considered this estimate. Finally, he replied, "Understood. We can easily make them. Can you please arrange a open space for us where those crystals can be placed."

The Indian representative nodded, even though keshav couldn't see him. "Yes, we will arrange a suitable open space and let you know the coordinates. How soon can you deliver them?"

Keshav replied "As soon as space is available."

The Indian representative let out a small sigh of relief. "Great. We will let you know the location and coordinates as soon as possible."

With that, the call ended and the room was silent. The representatives looked at each other, knowing that the next few days would be crucial.
