The discussions among the many experts caused the seminar to become highly heated.
However, the blueprint outlined by Corbin sparked the most controversy.

On the other hand, the proposals put forward
by Darius and, onnoveldrama
received more recognition from the
experts, scholars, and journalists in attendance.
Their main ideas were focused on planning and envisioning the development of Qacalisle Island from the perspective of the island's residents.
They emphasized the importance of citizens' rights and welfare, aiming for effective, moderate
management while maintaining as much of the island's natural state as possible.
Their goal was to protect the personal freedom of the islanders as much as possible, all while maintaining public order.
Corbin strongly opposed their ideas.
In his view, giving the islanders too much freedom would dilute the authority and status of the Qacalisle Island chief manager.
Over time, this would lead to a loss of effective management of the island's security and would slow down the overall development of Qacalisle Island.
A journalist raised a question. "If individual wealth is restricted, and islanders are kept busy, then when will the islanders have leisure time to enjoy life? Without wealth, many islanders will struggle to survive. "Even if Qacalisle Island is beautifully built, how can the islanders ever be truly happy? How can we achieve long-term harmony and stability on the island?"
Corbin proudly replied. "In this real world, pursuing material wealth is the lowest level of aspiration. Only by providing the islanders with a noble belief to pursue can we give their lives true meaning and value. The happiness of the islanders completely depends on the efforts of Qacalisle Island's management team. We must present the islanders with a vision of a hardworking and courageous life so they know that striving to live is the highest pursuit in life. Indulging too much in material enjoyment will only cultivate laziness and a lack of ambition in one generation after another of islanders.'
As Corbin spoke, he purposely used an example to elaborate on his views.
"For example, not long ago, I came across the inspirational story of a man. Faced with a grim life, he didn't choose to lie down and escape from responsibility. Instead, he chose to work five jobs in a single day to support his family. We need to promote more of these stories of struggle and hardship, praising them more. This way, the islanders will realize that the meaning of life lies in the journey, not in comfort and enjoyment. Suppose every islander strives and works hard every day for their survival. In that case, they will have no time to be concerned with trivial matters..."
"That's just nonsense!" Robin couldn't stand it any longer and blurted out a curse.
To avoid being recognized by the media, Robin had been wearing sunglasses.
This disguise was enough to keep him unrecognizable to Luella and Kelsey at the front desk.
But his outburst immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room.

The two security guards at the venue started to approach, but upon seeing the Aldridges's assistants and bodyguards standing by Robin's side, they stopped.
Corbin, seeing someone openly insult his views, furiously shouted, "Who are you? How dare someone like you enter such a prestigious hall? Do you have no manners?
"See this? Even when a lower-class person is given a magnificent space, they still behave like this without any refinement!
"I am here promoting a way of life that gives islanders the chance to pursue something meaningful with honor. What are you causing trouble for?
"Ms. Luella, Ms. Pierpoint, this place is absolutely not suitable for a vulgar person like this to speak! Please have security remove him!"
Luella had already recognized Robin's voice. Seeing his outfit, she understood that he did not want to be identified by the media.
With a calm smile, she addressed Corbin. "Mr. Blackwood, no matter how we manage Qacalisle Island, we always consider the islanders' perspective, and everyone should have freedom of speech.
"A place where even speech is restricted is a barbaric place."
Corbin fought to suppress his anger, pointing at Robin. "Fine, tell me where I am wrong, then!" Robin straightened the wrinkled collar of his shirt and smirked, "You're full of nonsense!" Laughter filled the hall.
Luella barely contained her laughter.
"Fine, fine!" Corbin's entire body trembled with rage. "Ms. Luella said we can speak freely, but that does not mean we can slander and insult people!
"You said I was full of nonsense. How am I wrong?"
Robin smiled faintly. "A writer once said, the most shameless, insidious, and malicious kind of praise is when the hardships and suffering of the lower class are used as inspirational stories to deceive them! "What you've proposed is nothing but a form of deception!
"If happiness means that every islander will spend their life struggling in misery just to feel a sense of accomplishment and happiness, then why did you even hire these experts to come here? "Why don't you try struggling to find some meaning in life?
"Even if you're wealthy, you can still live nobly by donating all your wealth and working five jobs daily, struggling to survive in the harshest conditions.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be media coverage of your inspiring life story."
Corbin, furious, nearly lunged at Robin. "Why should I donate my money? I have all this money. Why should I give it away? I don't need to struggle to survive..."
Robin smiled indifferently. "By your logic, your life is meaningless. Since life has no meaning, why don't you just die?"

Laughter erupted again in the hall.
Corbin nearly screamed in fury. "You... You... uncouth person! I will not waste my time arguing with someone like you!"
Robin shrugged. "Fine, since you don't have a direct experience, let's make you bankrupt. 5%

"Spend your remaining life experiencing the hardships of poverty, struggling for food, healthcare, and survival, and tell me what that feels like!
"Journalists, don't forget to report on this so-called expert's 'inspirational' life story."
Five minutes later, special measures were activated on the Dark Web, completely raiding all of Corbin's assets and donating them to the world's most impoverished regions.
Additionally, it was exposed that Corbin held a nationality from a country known for its high-tech industry. It was revealed that during his time as a university professor, 90% of his academic work was fabricated, and he had achieved his current position through bribery and various illegal methods.
Soon, Corbin received a series of crushing blows to his life and walked out of the conference room, defeated.
Robin turned to Luella and Katrine at the front desk. "Combine Darius and Brucson's proposals.
Everything should center on the will of the islanders. Let the weak not fear, the strong not bully, the wise be respected, and everyone be equal, just, and tolerant."
