Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1229

The government had already made the extreme risks of this financial maneuver explicitly clear, and everyone involved was smart enough to understand the stakes. Yet, they still chose to entrust their hard-earned money to the nation, an act of remarkable courage.

Whether it was a hundred dollars or a thousand, every cent was a profound contribution to the country.

No matter how much people bickered or clashed in their daily lives, they stood united for the greater good when it truly mattered, and that was enough.

Under these circumstances, Mira Mercer naturally accepted every contribution, honoring their unwavering loyalty to Mavaria.

The only thing she could do in return was to give everything she had when the time came, fighting tooth and nail to protect their life savings.

Even if the worst happened and the money was lost, Mira would still accept it, treating it as a selfless donation to the nation's survival. As for whether the government would reimburse the citizens once the economy recovered, that was a matter of policy far beyond her control.

The massive funds she had personally invested were no different.

According to her mentor, the fervor for raising funds was just as intense in places Mira hadn't even heard of. Those localized contributions were handled by regional officials, so they didn't need to be funneled directly through her.

Meanwhile, the major elite families of Aethelgard had also pledged millions of dollars to the cause.

That night, Mira and Owen Lance finalized all the necessary arrangements for their respective companies, and by the next morning, they packed their bags and reported for duty.

They had been warned that the operational headquarters was entirely locked down to prevent leaks. During working hours, all communication devices, including phones, had to be surrendered.

Even calls to their families were strictly regulated.

As their car approached the gates of their neighborhood, a massive crowd of residents swarmed them, anxious to know if the situation had changed.

"The situation is exactly as the government stated; we're facing a coordinated attack from numerous international consortiums, and it's incredibly grim,"

Mira answered honestly. She couldn't afford to sugarcoat things now.

"But please, rest assured. As long as we stand together, I firmly believe we will get through this."

An elderly woman chimed in, "Back in the day, we fought off massive foreign alliances with just a fraction of our current population. Now, there are over a billion of us, and our resources are vastly superior to what they used to be. How could we possibly lose?

We are going to win."
