Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It caused severe emotional distress to the people of the empire.

The media is calling on all conscientious citizens of the empire to stand up and say no to these thugs!

"These media outlets' statements are utterly ridiculous," the spokesperson for the Nolan region stepped forward at the opportune moment. "News outlets like the Eastern Times are turning black into white and distorting the truth; they are nothing but lackeys of the nobility! They only criticize everyone except the Second Prince and his vassals, completely ignoring any factual basis. They only report on the Heimdall's contributions in fighting the Zerg, but remain silent about the Heimdall's 'enormous contributions' in massacring civilians..."

"To the people of Nolan, the Empire is an invader! Peace is something we must fight for ourselves, not something you noble lackeys can bestow upon us!"

"To these biased and trashy media outlets, I just want to say one thing: if you dare, come to the Nolan region and experience our enthusiasm!"

The Eastern Times immediately responded.

"The clamor of rebels cannot shake the righteous in the slightest; they will eventually pay the price for their atrocities."

"The Second Prince is a representative of justice, and every person with a conscience can recognize this."

The following day, a reporter from the Eastern Times went to the governor's office in the Naghlia region to interview the new governor.

"The newly appointed Governor-General Tainer, who dared to take on this heavy responsibility in a time of crisis, is a role model that every official of the Empire should emulate!"

The reporter made his opening remarks as he entered the Governor's Palace.

However, things did not go as the Eastern Times had envisioned.

"A reporter from the Eastern Times is in the main hall and wants to see me? No, no, tell them to leave now."

Governor Taine was immediately bewildered upon hearing the report from his attendant.

A few days ago, the Eastern Times and the rebels in the Nolan area had a war of words that went back and forth, attracting a lot of public attention and support from some patriotic young people.

But that's precisely why Governor Taine was even less inclined to associate with these people.

Looking at the current situation, it's hard to say how close the relationship is between the Super Dimension and the Nolan Rebels, but they have cooperated before. The Eastern Times criticized the Nolan Rebels, so it would be strange if the Super Dimension didn't have some grudges.

Others may not know, but how could Taina not know?

The Nagria border region is now like an iron pot being steamed and roasted on a purgatory.

Sitting in the iron pot, he could be finished at any moment.

Most of the local bullies here have trade dealings with the transdimensional world, and they have formed a community of shared interests.

How could a newly appointed governor like him, who hadn't even warmed his seat yet, possibly compete with these local bullies?

We don't even know how many spies are in the Governor's Office, so how can we casually contact people from the Eastern Times?

“Your Excellency, they refuse to leave, claiming they have been granted special permission by the media industry adjutant to conduct this interview.”

"..."

Taina's face stiffened.

He's a big shot from the inner circle of power within the empire.

This person is currently following the Second Prince.

He couldn't afford to offend the Time-Traveling Dimension, nor could he afford to offend the Second Prince.

Ugh, what a damn dog.

Tainer couldn't help but once again marvel at how clever the fat governor had been to slip away beforehand.

Knowing he couldn't stay any longer, he deliberately committed a crime to escape.

Now it's too late for him to follow his predecessor's example and do this; the power structure is fragmented, and no one is in charge of it for the time being.

"Then let them in."

A little while later, a reporter from the Eastern Times entered the governor's office.

After a few brief pleasantries, the two parties sat down.

The female reporter said, "Governor Taina has achieved outstanding results in his first year in office. The GDP of the Nagria Border Region has increased by 7.9%, reaching a new high in nearly ten years. It must be said that Governor Taina is a role model for all governors in the empire!"

"Oh, not at all..." Taina laughed awkwardly, "I have to thank Chao for all of this..."

and many more!

Taina's expression changed slightly.

That was close.

I almost blurted out that I should thank Time Traveler.

This is the truth. Taina doesn't quite understand why the Transcendental Dimension doesn't take action against Nagria, but it's a good thing.

After the completion of the Hyperspace, trade in the Naglia border region increased, and the tourism and shipping industries experienced great development. As pirates were wiped out by the Hyperspace, both commerce and industry benefited greatly.

Nevertheless, Tainer knew he couldn't tell the truth.

"I still have to thank the tremendous development of the hyperspace shipping business. This achievement is not my achievement alone, but the achievement of every resident of Naglia."

The reporter exclaimed, "Governor Tainah is truly magnanimous. Even with foreign enemies eyeing him, he has still managed to develop Nagoria's economy so well. If it weren't for those thugs from beyond the timeline, Nagoria would definitely have developed even better!"

"..."

Although you're waiting for me to agree, I don't dare say it.

This reporter is a real novice.

Taina was so annoyed that he really wanted to kick the man out.

He could only smile kindly.

"The recent attacks on the Heimdall by the Dimensional Shift and the Nolan rebels have become the focus of public attention. The Dimensional Shift is located in the northern border of Nagoria. I wonder if Governor Tainar has anything to say to the public."

The reporter looked at Taina with anticipation.

Speak up, hurry up and speak, and it would be best to give them a good scolding.

"..."

Taina's gaze sharpened.

You're trying to kill me!

Even the Second Prince can't do anything to the Time-Space Realm right now, and you're still encouraging me to charge in? Are you even human?

Taina cursed inwardly.

He could only frown and say, "The Hyperspace Dimension has been established in Nagria for almost two years now. Overall, since its establishment, the turmoil in northern Nagria has been alleviated, and the pirate problem that has plagued Nagria for decades has been fundamentally solved..."

what? !

The reporter was taken aback.

Your Excellency, what are you saying? Are you running a fever? Why are you suddenly so confused?

"But it's not without its downsides..."

When Tainer changed the subject, the reporter immediately sat up straight.

So it was a technique of praising before criticizing?

I've learned a lot; no wonder you're a politician.

"What we need to realize is that although the prosperity of the Hyperspace has boosted the tourism and shipping industries in Nagoria, due to oversights in government work, the tax authorities have not yet opened an office in Hyperspace. Therefore, we have not received a single penny of tax from Hyperspace in the past two years. This is obviously not normal, and it is an oversight on our part as government departments, but Hyperspace's failure to proactively declare is also wrong..."

and many more!

The reporter's eyes widened.

Your Excellency, what are you saying?

"Here, I would like to say through the Eastern Times to all companies and businesses in the Nagoria region: remember to pay your taxes. While enjoying your rights, don't forget your obligations!"

Tainer stood up and bowed to his "friends" in the reporters.

He seemed to hear incredibly enthusiastic applause.

clap clap...

The female reporter's raised right hand trembled slightly.

What about the massacre of civilians?

Extortion?

To monopolize the shipping lanes?

What about breaking the law or violating regulations?

My dear Governor, that's not what I want to hear!

Sitting on the sofa, Taina sighed, "Tax work is tough. Nagoria is so big. Our tax department staff are actually working very hard. We should understand them."

"..."

The female reporter's face was a little dark.

But she was too embarrassed to guide the Taina Black Time and Space.

Although she had a license, she was, after all, just a journalist, while Turner was the local governor.

There will be no good outcome if you fall out with someone.

I originally wanted to post a video, but it seems I can't. I'll just have to fabricate a text news article myself.

From which angle should I write this?

The female reporter asked a few more questions as a formality, and then said goodbye to Taina.

"Finally got rid of them, ugh!"

Taina pressed one hand against her nose.

It's not a big deal that he didn't pay taxes, right? There's no need for the Time Traveler to bother him with such a trivial matter.

wrong!

Taina suddenly stood up.

That's true, but only if the Eastern Times doesn't make things up.

Is the Eastern Times not just making things up?

Joking and messing around are their traditions.

"Someone come here!" Taina ran out nervously. "Have someone secretly follow those reporters and report to me immediately if anything seems amiss."
