Mustafa stood before the giant screen at the center of the hall, looking into the eyes of those present.
Excitement and adrenaline were clearly visible on him.
He smiled and said:
"I know how you feel.
We have overcome many challenges—great and difficult ones.
And we all know that the most important thing in this life is money, without decorating the words or hiding behind talk of justice and humanity.
We must be realistic.
As Allah Almighty says in His Noble Book:
'Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world.'
And this is how we understand the truth.
Money is the adornment of life, and its most important element.
That is why the Economic Organization focused on the principle of Zakat and applied it with absolute strictness.
You all know that Zakat is a fundamental pillar of Islam.
Its definition is simple: we take from the rich and give to the poor.
The wealthy give a small portion of their money, and it is given to the needy and the poor.
As a result, poverty almost disappeared, and the world became stable.
And with the alliance between America and China—which we now control—products became abundant, with no shortages.
Strategic warehouses are filled with everything.
Because of that, we also focused on tourism, making Egypt the number one destination for travelers.
Not only because of its monuments, but because of the truth that was revealed:
that the ancient Egyptians once ruled this world
and protected humanity from invaders coming from other worlds.
And of course, we must not forget the most famous and powerful academy in the world:
The Sinai Global Academy.
Now… the other major achievement.
The world of social communication.
A virtual world you enter, communicate within, use all social platforms,
live through your image, and speak to others using your own avatar.
You watch content creators right in front of you and enjoy your time.
And we must not forget the most important world today:
the world of games.
A world that more than three thousand people enter every second
to play the most famous games.
And soon, the greatest game of this century will be released—
a game awaited by all humans, of all ages and personalities.
As for resources, they have become abundant and available,
thanks to the exploration of other worlds.
All of these achievements were accomplished in just seven years.
But…
Will the world remain like this?
Or is there something deeper, hidden behind all of it?
From my words, it may seem as if everything went perfectly,
as if the world itself wants to move exactly as we plan.
But the truth is…
all of this is nonsense.
How many sacrifices were made?
How many were killed?
How many spies?
How many citizens of other nations were crushed along the way?
A world where no one trusts anyone anymore.
Trust today is nothing but a straw…
a single straw is all that remains of humanity's faith.
Mustafa laughed softly.
There was a trace of sorrow in his eyes as he whispered to himself:
"Just a straw."
The attendees listened with cold expressions,
while heavy air filled the hall.
This meeting was not merely a display of achievements,
but an attempt to understand how much exhaustion, effort, and sacrifice
were required to reach this point.
Mustafa returned to his usual calm and said:
"You have heard the achievements we have accomplished.
Now, there are two crucial achievements that must be realized.
The first: digital currencies.
More precisely… a cosmic currency.
A currency used between other worlds and in interdimensional trade.
You all know how digital currencies spread
and became an alternative to paper money.
And by the way, we already control the most important currency today—
the most trusted and widely traded in the world:
the Egyptian currency, which is also the currency of the Economic Organization.
With the development of the world of Ceres,
and its transformation into a world similar to ours,
and as humans there learned half of our technologies,
they too began using currencies in their trade.
And through their trade with other races,
we discovered the existence of other worlds—
with different species,
advanced in ways similar to us or entirely different.
Therefore, we must become pioneers in this field:
cosmic trade, an economy beyond worlds,
making Earth the financial center of existence,
and the heart of the cosmic economy.
We all know that there are empires and powerful beings who want to invade us.
And without the efforts of our ancient Egyptian ancestors,
we would not be here today.
But what we must do is not only become stronger,
but become an empire in itself.
Many believe our ancestors acted because we were weak,
that they fought on our behalf to delay the extinction of humanity.
But that is not true.
They did it to give us time—
to grow,
to evolve,
to become stronger,
and to compete for dominance over the universe.
For that reason, we must form alliances with everyone
and control the economy of everyone.
What distinguishes this story—and this world—
from all others…
is that we do not wait for a single hero to save us.
We are the ones who founded empires.
We are the ones who built kingdoms.
We are the ones who created civilizations.
And most importantly…
there is no absolute ally and no absolute enemy.
Today you are my friend,
tomorrow you may be my enemy.
That is why we decided to build the cosmic digital currency—
the first seed,
the first pillar,
of the Earth-born human empire in the universe."
Then Mustafa looked toward the leader of the Sixth Organization—
Adam, his former commander, his friend,
and also the father of the story's protagonist.
He said:
"I am not interested in the plan of the ancient Egyptians,
nor in the existence of a single heir to an ancient Egyptian god.
We do not care what others think.
Everyone here is part of Egypt
and part of humanity.
Since when have Egyptians relied on one single person?"
Then he continued:
"Have you forgotten the story of Ahmose?
Ahmose…
King of Egypt, its hero,
and the founder of modern Egypt,
the one who hunted down the Hyksos.
His story was not the story of one hero.
When the Hyksos mocked the beliefs of the Egyptians,
everyone—kings and people alike—rose in anger.
Despite their weakness, each person sent whatever they could.
No one fled.
Ahmose's father began preparing the army.
He fought bravely until he was captured,
and the Hyksos announced his death.
Did the Egyptians fear?
No.
Kamose, the older brother, rose
and nearly defeated them,
but he died under mysterious circumstances.
Did they surrender?
No.
The queen—mother of Ahmose and Kamose—
who should have been the most afraid after losing her husband and eldest son,
sent her youngest son: Ahmose.
A young man unknown at the time,
who swore he would not call her 'mother,'
but 'General,'
until Egypt was liberated.
And he won…
He chased the Hyksos,
and destroyed them.
The Egyptians did not care who their leader was.
The leader changed three times,
but the goal never changed.
They fought for Egypt,
not for a person.
Mustafa laughed and said:
"That is why we Egyptians do not care about the past or the future.
We care only about our homeland.
And we will not wait for invaders or empires from other worlds.
We will face them ourselves
and become stronger."
He looked at them firmly and said:
"I am Egyptian."

The Achievements of the Other Five Organizations
--
"Hello everyone, I really missed you. To be honest, I wanted to thank you deeply. Because I haven't been consistent or committed to publishing on a fixed schedule, and I've been away for almost a month, I thought my novel would have no readers or interaction. So I didn't want to log in and see the story, afraid that I would be sad knowing I might be the reason it died before it even began. And I didn't want to blame the problems that happened in previous months, because those aren't your issues—they're mine.
But I was surprised to see we've reached 80,000 views! The last number I remember was 60,000, and this honestly shocked me. Thank you so, so much. I hope you enjoy the chapter. And I won't apologize like I did before—this time, it's just gratitude and a heart full of reassurance."
