“[Mies…]”. (Catherine)“I don’t care what they are doing or where they are right now… I want them all there in 72 hours….no excuses…”.“[ Got it…My side will send everyone a summon right now….do you want me to come with you….to Manila, or we just meet there?]”. (Catherine)“No, I go there myself… also, put this message in that summon as well …anyone that had done something shady under my umbrella… correct their mess before they get to Manila in 72 hours… or I will deal with them myself…”.“[…Alright, Boss…. see you there…]”. (Catherine)There were few people that were messing around, and the ease that I gave them, got to their heads. I just gone for a few months and a mess like this happened so easily and it got that far, this time the Virtue Financials and its families of company, will get shaken like a tree in a storm. People need to be reminded, that they are working for me, not with or above me.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Catherine…what is going on? ....”. (Maria Hills)The now CEO of Virtue Medical, Maria walked into the office, and were in shocked to see the entire building were like in the middle of a warzone, and as she arrived at the Secretariat floor, Catherine were in the middle of the office floor, commanding everyone like a general in war.“Oh! …Maria, sorry about the mess… also why are you here and not in Manila? ....”. (Catherine Kent)“Why should I be on the other side of the world?”. (Maria Hills)“Wait… you haven’t got the e-mail?”. (Catherine Kent)“No… I’m here for our lunch today, you said we should go out together… even Tanya and Stephanie were here…waiting for you downstairs…”. (Maria Hills)Stephanie Russo is now Virtue Powers CEO and Tanya Kate is now the Virtue Medical COO, today all 4 of these ladies were supposed to have lunch together, but apparently their plans had to be cancelled.“Sigh~ … I forgot… anyway, I don’t think that is possible today for me… and also for you as wel
“Mr. President…Mies Sai, the Virtue Financial owner is seen in Manila, sir… He just landed…. And also, the entire Virtue Financial Group companies are also heading to Manila as well…Sir, with all due respect…I think, Virtue Financial is about to respond to us…”. (CIA)“…Oh… Damnit...”. (The President)The Virtue Financial is about to respond is not at all a good thing for everyone. For months the government had tried to push Virtue Financial to ‘Share’ their medical field success, which a lot of the politician thought it would be a good idea. And when they found out that Virtue Financial Owner, Mies Sai, often went off to a long period of self-isolations, everyone thought that they can try pushing the other Virtue Financial figures to give up their secrets, before the man in questions come back and shot them down back in their places. But this time, all of them miscalculated their foolish attempts, the Man in Question comes back earlier than expected, and he is clearly moving faster t
In the last few hours, VF Air Virtue Airport was swamped by Virtue Financial employees coming from all over the world, the second main leadership of Virtue Financial that arrived is Catherine Kent, Maria Hill and Stephanie Russo, the 3rd groups was Marcuez Vega, Isabella Marcos, Choi Ji Soo, Choi Chae Ri, Ran Hyun Ok and Katarina Schevenkova, all of the Virtue Financial heavy hitters, has all arrived, and all of them agreed to take a breather in the airport lounge first, before they all head off to meet with Mies Sai.“Damn, Roberto…you haven’t finished the constructions despite asking for more funding?’. (Catherine Kent)“I apologize, Madam… I seemed to overlooked somethings, but… I promised that this airport will be completed in just a month…”. (Roberto Marquez)Roberto were constantly being grilled by all of the heavy hitters inside the room. Needless to say, once they all sees the airport aren’t completed yet, it was very easy to deduced what had happened, Roberto was playing hook
Vice President Mary Grace, one of Virtue Financial connection in Philipinas government, she was the one that comes to Virtue Financial Manila branch inviting my company to come and invest, as she offered a lot of benefits, T.A.S on my behalf okayed the investment and since then Virtue Financial now owned 30% of Philipinas small and medium company all over the nation. By my Choosing Manila and Puerto Princessa has become the province where we heavy invested, turning them into a city that owned by Virtue Financial, all of our factories and buildings were in these 2 cities, in short span of just 6 months, the 2 cities have turned into advance metropolis akin to the western city,“But if I wanted to do that… we definitely need more support and amicable relationship with the government…. Oh... by the way, Vice President Grace… I heard that the presidential election this time… you wanted to run as a president?”.The meeting room fell silent as Vice President Grace leaned in closer to Mies S
By nightfall, the top executives of Virtue Financial had gathered at an exclusive resort—a sprawling testament to Mies Sai’s own vision and wealth, nestled along the pristine shores. The atmosphere was a blend of luxury and tension, as every guest present knew they were on the verge of a monumental decision. Conversations were quiet, voices hushed, the underlying intensity clear. The sense that something more was at play, something perhaps beyond even their comprehension, seemed to press down on the room.At precisely nine o’clock, Mies Sai entered the main hall, and the soft murmur of voices immediately ceased. His eyes swept over the group, each executive watching him with a mixture of respect and apprehension. Sai’s presence commanded attention—tonight more than ever, as he finally addressed his elite team.“Thank you all for gathering here,”he began, his voice measured and calm, though carrying an unmistakable weight.“What we discuss tonight will define Virtue Financials’ future
“Andy Greg,”.he began, his eyes narrowing slightly,“CEO of Saint George Hospital. I trust you’re aware of why I’ve singled you out.”.Andy Greg, a man who had once carried himself with confidence and pride, now looked uncharacteristically small. His shoulders tensed, and his face twisted into a grimace as he struggled to compose himself.“Mr. Sai,”. (Andy Greg)he stammered, attempting to summon a bravado that was nowhere to be found,“I don’t understand what this is about. There must be some mistake—”. (Andy Greg)“There is no mistake,”.Mies Sai interrupted, his tone leaving no room for doubt.“The mistake, Mr. Greg, was thinking you could sell out Virtue Medical without consequences.”.Sai’s words were razor-sharp, cutting through the flimsy excuses Andy Greg was trying to muster.“Let me outline your crimes, for the benefit of the room,”Sai continued; his demeanor unflinching.“Selling shares of Saint George Hospital to a U.S. congressman—Johnathan, I believe—without authorizat
“Leave,”.Mies Sai finally said, his tone as cold as the steel that fortified his reputation. In that one word, the fates of 120 CEOs were sealed. No one argued. No one negotiated. They filed out of the room, their footsteps echoing down the long hallway as the heavy doors closed behind them. Yet even after they were gone, the tension lingered, a palpable reminder of the purge that had just taken place. For several long moments, the room remained quiet, the remaining executives too stunned to move or speak. Then Catherine Kent, the formidable CEO of Virtue Financial, rose from her seat. Adjusting her posture, she stepped into the center of the room. Her commanding presence, though less severe than Mies Sai’s, was equally impossible to ignore. “Now that the cancer has been excised,”. (Catherine Kent)Catherine began, her voice steady but urgent, “We must turn our attention to the threat at hand. The meddling of the United States government is not something we can overlook. Their i
The city of Gust, the capital of the Western Region, radiated an aura of peace and prosperity that seemed almost otherworldly to those who had known nothing but strife. The towering walls stood strong yet inviting, adorned with the Aeternum insignia—a symbol that had come to mean safety and order to the Alemia people.As they passed through the gates, the refugees were greeted by sights and sounds that filled their hearts with hope. Cobblestone streets bustled with activity, but not the chaotic kind they had fled from. This was the lively hum of a thriving community: merchants hawking their wares, children laughing as they played, and townsfolk chatting amicably by fountains that sparkled in the midday sun.An elderly man, his face lined with the hardships of life in the war-torn northern regions, clutched his walking stick tightly as he stopped to take it all in.“Is this... really Alemia?”he asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. His daughter, holding her infant child close to
Unlike the other regions, where battles and skirmishes carved paths to liberation, the Western Region of Alemia had never known the chaos of war during this conflict. This serene anomaly could be attributed to the Gust Ducal Family, led by its dignified patriarch, Duke Oliver Gust.From the very beginning of Alemia’s Civil War, Duke Oliver Gust had pledged his allegiance to Aeternum, a decision that would forever shape the fate of the Western Region. The Duke, a good statesman and a visionary leader, recognized early on the transformative potential of Aeternum governance. By aligning his house with Aeternum and swearing loyalty to its President, he not only secured the safety of his lands but also elevated his status to the Governor of Alemia.Under his leadership, the Western Region flourished. It became a shining example of what could be achieved under Aeternum’s rule—an oasis of peace, stability, and prosperity in a nation otherwise marred by war.The Western Alemia Region stood as
“The President’s arrival always signals a shift in momentum. Whatever he has planned, it will undoubtedly be decisive.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees.“I don’t know about you, Giuseppe, but I’m itching to get started. The Central Region won’t know what hit them.”. (General Eliza)Giuseppe laughed lightly.“I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, General. Your energy is infectious. Though I must admit, I share your enthusiasm. The Eternal Night Division is ready to stand by your side, as always.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza’s cheerful expression softened slightly, revealing a glimpse of her focused resolve.“Then let’s make sure everything is in place. When the President gives the word, I want the Northern Front to move like a storm.”. (General Eliza)While the Northern Front basked in the unchallenged dominance of the Aeternum Royal Air Force, the Southern Front was marked by grueling ground and naval warfare. Yet, under
The Northern Region of Alemia had become a bastion of order and stability under Aeternum’s relentless advance. Every step taken by the Aeternum forces under General Eliza’s leadership left a lasting mark—one of liberation and peace.Villages that once cowered under the shadow of constant raids now thrived. Markets reopened, children played in the streets, and trade routes flourished. The Aeternum forces didn’t just sweep through the land; they rebuilt it. Engineers, medics, and diplomats followed close behind the military, ensuring that each liberated territory was integrated seamlessly into the growing Aeternum domain.Enemy resistance, while sporadic, was met with calculated force. Eliza’s forces didn’t simply eliminate the threat; they dismantled the very foundations of the enemy’s control. Supply lines were cut, strongholds reduced to rubble, and leadership decapitated with precision strikes.It was no wonder that whispers of Aeternum’s inevitability began to spread. To the Alemia
The heavy doors of Georgina Castle closed behind me as I ascended to the upper floors, the weight of the day finally settling in. The castle’s architecture, a blend of medieval grandeur and modern Aeternum design, offered a commanding view of Georgina City. I stepped onto the balcony, the cool night air brushing against my face, and gazed out over the bustling city.“(Georgina has changed. Not long ago, these streets were plagued with crime and fear. Now, even at this hour, the lights shine brightly, and the sound of laughter echoes through the air.)”The city was alive. Markets remained open, their lanterns casting warm glows over vendors and customers alike. Groups of travelers from the surrounding regions roamed the streets, marveling at the safety and vibrancy that had become synonymous with Georgina.As I observed the scene, I reflected on the strategic importance of Georgina City. It wasn’t just another victory; it was a key to the eastern region of Alemia.“(Larger than New Sun
“Welcome back Your Highness…,”. (Major Fontana)Fontana said, his voice filled with respect. Lieutenant Colonel Selie stood tall beside him, her crisp uniform and confident demeanor a reflection of her discipline and efficiency. As my second in command, she had always been dependable, but it was her initiative and sharp mind that made her invaluable.“Selie,”.I said with a nod.“I trust everything has been handled in my absence?”.She stepped forward, falling into step beside me as we made our way to Georgina Castle.“Your Highness, I ensured that the troops stayed active during the lull. With the soldiers under my command, we eradicated every criminal faction and enemy cell within the city and its outskirts.”. (Lt. Colonel Selie)Selie’s report was precise, but her words carried a quiet pride.“The city is now completely secure. Trade routes are open, and the citizens are thriving. Georgina City isn’t just holding steady—it’s flourishing. Your troops are the reason for that.”. (Lt.
“I heard you were in your office,”. (Elijah)she began, her voice like a soft melody.“I thought you were supposed to be on the frontline.”. (Elijah)I rose to greet her, taking her hand in mine.“I decided to tackle the backlog first…You know, since I am here now… The frontline will wait—it’s moving at a deliberate pace anyway.”Her lips curved into a small smile, but her eyes lingered on me with concern.“You’ve been working yourself too hard. You didn’t even let anyone know you were coming back.”. (Elijah)Before I could reply, she gestured, and moments later, the kitchen staff entered, carrying trays laden with a sumptuous lunch.“I took the liberty of arranging this,”. (Elijah)she said, her tone light yet commanding.“You’ll eat properly today.”. (Elijah)I chuckled, guiding her to the table by the window.“You always know how to manage me, don’t you?”As we sat down to eat, the conversation shifted to lighter matters. Elijah’s grace and elegance made every interaction with her
“The Riverside Region will do just that. The fisheries will create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation in aquaculture. This isn’t just a project—it’s a movement toward a better future.”. (Andrea)As the meeting concluded, Andrea and the ministers were jubilant. Plans were already being set in motion to announce the news to the public, and excitement rippled through the Ministry.For me, the moment was bittersweet.“(Every step forward is a reminder of the distance yet to be traveled. But if the people can find joy in these small victories, then perhaps we’re on the right path.)”Sitting at the grand desk in the Ministry of Resource headquarters, I allowed myself a brief moment of satisfaction. Approving their proposals had been straightforward, but the significance of these decisions would ripple across Aeternum for years to come.“(This is what true leadership is about—empowering others to excel while maintaining control of the vision.)”I had barely spent an hour
You’re certain this will work? Turning a war-torn region into a hub for fish farming isn’t exactly a small task…. sure, we already managed to owned them and stabilized them but you still have to build most of the basic infrastructure from the ground up…”.Andrea nodded confidently.“I can and I will. The river’s resources are abundant, and with our technology, we can create sustainable systems. This isn’t just about feeding our people—it’s about dominating the market.”. (Andrea)I let her words sink in, my mind already racing with possibilities.“(In a world like this, where fresh fish is a luxury reserved for the wealthy, we’ve managed to break that barrier. Our ships, equipped with refrigeration, have turned an impossible dream into a thriving industry. And now, freshwater fish could be the next frontier.)”“The inland nations will clamor for this,”I said, my tone thoughtful.“We’ve already proven our capability with saltwater seafood. Freshwater fish would solidify our position as
