Catherine were in rage, she can’t accept that the culprit doesn’t leave any sign. She knows how and what Mies capable of, no one can get to him like that, it was simply ridiculous that anyone can one up Mies. She shouted and grab Bang Dae Jung by his collar and slam him on the wall, furious, Catherine meant everything that she said. Everyone in the room, can’t refute her, even more Monica who shocked and fearful as this was her first time seeing the calm cold queen Catherine suddenly snap off.
“Madam Chairwoman, control yourself…”. (Sharon Jackson)
Seeing things might go south, Sharon were the first one who went to Catherine side and hold her back, making her let go of Bang Dae Jung collar.
“Bang Dae Jung-Ssi…are you a…spy?…”. (Ran Hyun Ok)
Ran Hyun Ok who were sitting on the sofa chime in, she too can’t accept that no one wa
“.…so what did you do?..”.“We strengthen and expand our security team…covering and providing security to all our top essentials personel…not only that me and my team has been monitoring and collecting informations on every single moves that Jonathan Group has been up to…and from what I got, these guys is quite dirty and to be honest they are much worse than the cartels…”. (Helena Mendoza)Helena took over explaining their actions to me, She then showed me every single files she had on Jonathan Group, she managed to get every single important details, needless to say, not only the way they made a deal dirty, but their organizations itself were a big pot of mess. Unlike Virtue Financial, who is sole own by me, Jonathan Groups is a company that were lead by a man call Jonathan Reyes, the heir to the one of the richest family in the US, Jonathan Family who is based in the Boston. The co
In the City of dreamers, Los Angeles, Blue Hill Medical centre is bustling with crowds, which is now has become a commons sight amongst the public here in this packed metropolitan city. This busy environment in this highly advance and spectacular building of medical institute were obviously new, 2 years ago, before Virtue Financial took over this previously medium and in shambles hospital, not to mention busy, the Blue Hill Medical centre can barely even got a double digits visitors a day. At that time the business, which were owned by the Mills family, are already bankrupt and only waiting for the day for the whole business to close down.At the same time the Mills Family, experience the biggest tragedy of their life, Malcom Mills, his wife Amanda Mills and their eldest son, Connor Mills, died in a car accidents. It was a tragedy that shook the entire Los Angeles City, as the Mills Family were the one of the few African American Family that owned a large busine
Not all Virtue Financial top executives were females, there were some of it were man. But the most essentials and the one that most powers were all woman, and they were all in the league on their own. Virtue Financial have a strong inner circle, especially those who around the President of the company, though he rarely shown his face around, but actually nearly all the giant moves were devised by him.“That might be so…all of them have appeared in many magazines all over the world lately..and honestly I quite envious at them…how I wish I also got the same chances….anyway…what’s she want to be done…”. (Director Tanya Kate)Mariah then checked her e-mail, and as soon as she opened the mail that Catherine send to her, she was stunned. Because, she wasn’t kidding around when she said that this is a big thing that she need to make sure that she need to make sure that nothing will go awry.
But thanks to this event, it’s also a large opportunity to many others forces in the world, it was the time to curry favours with Virtue Financial, which to ‘offer’ their helps and aid to resolves the problems that currently plague Virtue Financial. Or on the other hand, was to surpassed the currently dormant Virtue Financial, because, although it was uncertain, with Mies Sai out of the pictures the moves that Virtue Financial can make on the economic world will surely limited, after all Virtue Financial can’t make any big moves without the approval of the main decision maker which is the company president himself. “To Make sure that, Mr.Mies Sai will make his full recovery….Me, the experts from Rootstock Medical Institute along with Chairwoman Catherine, has decided that…Mr.Mies will be
“Studio!…I am reporting live from the Los Angeles International Airport!…and I must tell you, that the whole Airport were packed, not just from the passenger here…but also from the Fans, media, journalist from man, many media outlet, whether the mainstream or internet….Everyone whole over the world right now were waiting for the arrival of Virtue Financial President Mies Sai…<CHEER!!>..”. (John MC)Frantic, Chaotic and loud were the only words to describe the situations behind John MC the host of the Business Show of the California Los Channel. The entire Airport that were normally already packed, now has been even more packed with people, the whole situations were unexpected and beyond anyone expectations. It was even more crowded and chaotic when there’s any celebrities were coming through the Airport, the many media reporter even had to be inside the crowds, getting pushed around, which something that
Thought the name of that special agent, does pique my memories a little bit, as her name were quite familiar for some reason, but after thinking about, it was hard for me to recollect anything. Maybe I meet her before, as to when and how, I don’t know, for now such things doesn’t matter anyway, I need to get to a secluded place now, and checked the situations back in Aeternum.Outsied the Jet, On the Tarmac.“They are certainly fast….and quite accommodating..Flora, how everything?..”. (Catherine Kent)The moment, Catherine and the other got out from the plane, they were greeted by loud cheers from the crowds just a few hundred meters away. The entire Airport and also the outside, all the way to the roads nearest to the Airport peoples were crowded, shouts, cheers and clapping celebrating their arrivals were so overwhelming that Catherine and the other were having
“It was him….”. (Special Agent Lily O’Malley)She uttered under her breath, to her this is a big matter and after all this years she has finally find her saviour, Lily O’Malley is a strong willed woman, this find of her does meant any ill intent on her side, in fact she wanted to settle her life debt to the man. For years she inquiry about the man, everyone kept their silence about him, now she has finally find him, all with her own effort.“Get everyone ready…we leave as soon as they ready on their side…Chief Deputy Tommy, could tell your men to also get ready..it’s seems that they were ready to move at any moment now..”. (Special Agent Lily O’Malley)“As you said so, Special Agent O’Malley…but, is everything okay with them?…I mean did they mentions anything?…you know…anything about me?…”. (Chi
Only Tanya Kate were the one who shocked that I was just suddenly wake up. On the other hand Mariah Mills were quite calm, though she was a little bit surprised, still she was able to suppressed the feeling, but her minor change in expression wasn’t something that can passed my eyes.“Isabella…the blinds..close it..”.“Sure…there…is there anything you need?…it’s been a long day for me…I want to get to bed now..”. (Isabella Marcos)“Hmm?..sure, go ahead..get some rest…on your way out tell Catherine and the others to do the same thing as well…Thank you for your hard work..”.I understand this has been a long day for everyone involved. Naturally I would give everyone the time to rest themselves, because at this point, I can do everything myself, also they were not the only people that worked for me.&
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
