“..So..the news is nothing but a fabricated lies huh… looks like the rumours that Virtue Financial president were involved in the..!!!!…..HHUKKKK!!!…what..did..you…’GURGLE’!!!!!…<THUD>..”. (Neatly dress man)
The man were arrogant, but in the next seconds, before he even got to finished his sentences, he were already gasping for air in pain and clutching his neck that were suddenly bleeding profusely. The man just watched and groan in agony as his neck were spurting blood all over the place, his neck were cut opened by a piece of glass that were deeply buried under his skin, everyone kept their silence as they watched the man slowly gurgling in his own blood, choking and slowly dies from blood loss an unimaginable pain.
“Didn’t I say that..if you don’t let go of your gun I the next second..I will kill you….do you guys think..I am playing around?…Y
No one dared to questioned my decisions, nor they even dared to speak without me giving them permission to do so. Am I angry and furious right now, yes I am, but nevertheless I need that weapons supplies right now, and without the Krawoski Family and Lee Family to supplies for me at this time, I can’t find another source to acquire any firearms anymore. I know this is risky, but I have no other way but to let them go for now, though I knew stuff like this will happened, especially when you were doing deals with younger generations that are young blooded and eager to make their names, but deep down when I signed that deals, I hope that this wouldn’t happened, since there the old Ha Feng to lead them, surely things wont go south. But now it did, and when it comes down to this, I cover and plan were nearly blown off by them too.“Your transgression is heavy…Lee Han Na..Derek Krawoski…I have never take you two for a fool…but yo
Sometimes in life there’s things you have to let go off, and there’s things that had already happened that there’s no use to cry over the spill milk anymore. This is my current dilemma right now, My entire weapons supply chain has been interrupted by the greedy newbie and my old enemy that still didn’t want to let me go. I need to improvise, to make up for everything, if not not only my plan against the Jonathan group will be hindered, but so is the current situations over in Fantasma, which were currently fighting a war right now.“...Damn everything…it was always the greed that made everything screwed up…”.I were cursing on my luck in the shower, right now.[Well, that’s is always the way of the world no matter where it is…But, Sir…if we discontinued our relationship with the Lee Family right now…our weapon supplies will run out in 2 months t
Finally, I got the pictures of what is happening to the Old Man and old the old friendly senile elders, it comes from the Old Lady Costa, Andrew Costa wife. She told me everything that she knew, the Organizations plans, Mikhail who killed his siblings and father and how she were still alive, Mikhail imprisoned his own mother, in the dark basement of his own house, the old lady were so frail and near her last breath when I got to her.“...Mies..boy….there’s a demon in all of us…but still there’s a good in them too….Child…could you do this old lady and late Andy a favour..”. (Old Lady Costa)“..just ask, Ma’am..tell me…I will do anything you asked…”.She has been so nice to me, since the first time I ever meet her, she treated me like a family, and I respected her the same way I respected Old Man Andrew.“...Spare
Before I’m going to handle the Jonathan Group and Rosetta Famiglia, many important things should come first, and that is, sending all the newly obtained supplies to Aeternum. After having my coffee fill in the very awkward kitchen were everyone were wary of me, I left the kitchen and headed back to the Warehouse where all my things were stored. As per my order and request to Lee Han Na before, the entire area around the Warehouse were emptied and cleared from any guards or even any human beings.To me this group of mafias, I don’t mind to use my teleporting abilities, even if I were to suddenly disappeared along with the entire things inside of the Warehouse, They wouldn’t even bothered to asked me anything. Even if they wanted to asked me, I don’t have to answer them, I don’t even have to be afraid that they would want to leak anything. Because one thing that is good about the criminal underworld, even if you said anything, no one
The meeting between me and my Ministers cabinet, went off quite fast, Surprisingly there were some additions to this circle of ministers that attended the meetings this time, Elijah, Mina, Rafaela and Jelina were in the positions of Minister, Since Jelina is the Governor of Shark Region, she is qualified as the 6thMinister. Director Kasuma attended as the the Director of Central intelligence Agency, Mot attended as the Director Internal Audit, Bar attended as the Director of Research and Development, and the newest attendee is Countess Vinetta Monti, the Wife of Shark Region West County Mayor Count Monti, who attended the meeting as the representative for the Central Residential Project.“According to informations that we have collected through out the reconnaissance before the war and after the war..Before the war, our agent has discovered that, before the populations of the entire region was around 10 million people…but after the
I know that keeping the portal, have it’s disadvantages it was a clear threat, but I can’t dismissed the positive point’s of keeping it either. Material that comes from the Demons and Undead that came from the Underworld Realm is something that is very hard to find, if not it can be considered that such materials is downright near impossible to be obtained in any normal circumstances. Although there were Demons and Undead existed all over Fantasma, all of the materials that can be harvested from this species of prey were already high quality, still the demons monsters and Undead that in the Fantasma Mortal realm and from the Underworld Realm is very different from each other, the contrast was obvious, if the Demons Monster and Undead from Fantasma mortal realm were already at high grade quality, then those that comes from the Underworld realm were even better, all because those that comes from the Underworld real carries a special energy with them, which the p
After Jack came and picked me up, we head straight back to the Blue Hill Medical Centre, we were driving in the middle of the night, so the traffic were less heavy then. As soon as I arrived back it was already 5 in the morning, so I decided to get some sleep first, but not before I leave some message to Ken, Terry and Marcuez. “Yo..brother..wake up!..Morning Mies..”. (Terry) “Mies coffee?..”. (Marcuez) “Buddy get up!…I bought some breakfast for you…”. (Ken) As soon as I woke up from the feeling of someone nudging my back, Terry bald head and his wide grin greeted me, then another 2 started to shouted and bickering, I supposed I can’t blame them too, because I were the one who told them to come here in the morning. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I return to the dinning room and had my breakfast with them. “So…what the deal?….you message us at 5 in the morn
Los Angeles, California, Secluded Private Estates Of the Rosetta Family. In one of the exclusive lands, inside one of the richest area in Los Angeles, Rosetta Estate, was worth over 25 million dollars, to the other richest families in the area, this estate were normal, and nobody knew that this estate were belonged to the on of the largest criminal family in the world. At 8:30 Pm in the night, a rows of cars drove into the estate runway and finally stopped in front of the luxurious mansion, just like a king, as soon as the door was opened, dozens of guards went to the cars forming a rows of meat shield. “Haha!..ladies~ Ladies..relax..this is my mansion!!..and this..this all muscle idiots!!…they were all my servant!!..HAHAHA…”. (Mikhail Rosetta) Coming out of the car, was a blonde man, he had a slightly tan skins and when he speaks, there’s a light accents of Italians in it. Mikhail is a little bit attractive compar
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
The ministers eagerly pointed out their favorite places from their student years.“Over there—that café served synthetic ice cream you have to try.”“That’s the district where I first saw a holographic opera.”“This is where I spent hours in the central library—eight floors of pure knowledge.”Helen listened with quiet amusement and growing wonder. These weren’t just stories. This was the future.They stopped first at a shopping promenade, where modern boutiques lined the plaza. Aeternum fashion—streamlined, elegant, tailored for form and comfort—was on full display.Helen tried on a pale blue dress lined with iridescent threads that shifted color slightly under different lighting. She admired herself in the mirror. Regal, yet free. She hadn’t felt this light in years.Merrica chuckled as she twirled slightly. “Careful. You’ll make the palace tailors obsolete.”Next came the Aeternum cuisine district. The aroma of spices, imported meats, baked delicacies and exotic fruit blends filled
Meerkat sipped from his flask; eyes gleaming. “Monster cores alone could offset our collective energy reliance on Aeternum’s hybrid reactors. If those dungeons are stabilized and regulated under UNA protocols, we’re looking at a resource boom.”Angela arched an eyebrow. “All that assumes stability. A kingdom can’t regulate dungeons if they can’t regulate their own court.”“Well,” Meerkat said with a shrug, “that’s what Merrica’s for, isn’t it?”They all laughed lightly—because it was true. The man’s reputation preceded him. Hallerus may have signed with a queen, but Merrica had built the bridge.Kaneda leaned forward. “It’s risky, but it’s a calculated risk. We’re not signing blind loyalty here. We’re watching. Evaluating. But make no mistake—if this works, Hallerus becomes the keystone of continental connectivity.”Redwall drummed his fingers on his knee. “I suppose that’s why we’re here. Not to clap at the signing. But to see if the queen is truly changed.”“She is,” Angela said qui
“And now, a major announcement: With the signing complete, Hallerus Kingdom is formally inducted into the United Nation Alliance as its thirty-first member. This marks a turning point—not only for Hallerus, but for the entire Central Continent.”“The UNA, now composed of thirty-one sovereign nations, officially becomes the largest unified alliance in the world’s history—its reach, economic power, and strategic cooperation unmatched by any prior coalition.”“Following this event, Aeternum has confirmed it will begin a nationwide rollout of its Super Stores, factories, and humanitarian infrastructure in Hallerus territory. In exchange, Hallerus will provide critical resources and cultural integration into the alliance structure.”“Public reaction is already beginning to surface—here in New City, spontaneous celebrations have begun in the multicultural districts where former Hallerians live. Meanwhile, markets across the UNA are surging in response to the stability this alliance signifie
“I don’t forget betrayal easily,” I said. “And Aeternum doesn’t forget pain lightly. What happened between us—it scarred people. People who trusted Hallerus. Soldiers who bled for your freedom. Civilians who saw us pulled out overnight.”“I know,” Helen said. “And I accept the cost.”“But,” I said, letting the word hang before softening my tone, “I do respect accountability.”Her eyes met mine. “Then we start again?”“We do,” I said, extending a hand.She took it. Her grip was firm.“We bury the hatchet,” I added. “But let’s be clear—this is not a return to old friendship. This is a new foundation. One built on lessons learned.”Helen nodded. “Agreed.”Merrica exhaled, satisfied. “It’s what both sides need.”I looked at Helen, voice calm. “You have a second chance now. Few leaders get that. Don’t waste it.”She nodded again, quietly this time. “I won’t.”“Good,” I said. “Because your people need you more than ever. Rule wisely. Rule well. Let this alliance be your legacy.”For the fir
“We’ll export more to Hallerus—especially food. You’ll need it. In return, we’ll import more raw ore and minerals. Your mining sector’s still decent, right?”“It is.”“Then let’s grow that. More volume, more jobs, more imports on both sides.”He beamed. “Thank you, my friend.”I smiled back. “You’ll find I don’t just use the whip.”“A carrot, then?”“Always. A balanced hand is how you keep control. Too much punishment, and you push people away. Too much reward, and they forget who they owe.”Merrica nodded slowly. “You’ve become a real ruler.”I stood, offering my hand again. “I became what this world needed.”He shook it. “And I’ll make sure Hallerus becomes what Aeternum can trust.”We stood in silence for a moment longer. The sound of cheering still floated in faintly from the streets below. Somewhere out there, Queen Helen was being paraded through New City—through a modern marvel built from vision and precision. Through a world she couldn’t have imagined a year ago.And now, she’
“They’re… happy to see us?” she asked, disbelief in her voice.Duke Merrica gave her a half-smile. “Some of them, yes. The others are watching. Judging. As they should.”One young woman in the crowd, her hair wrapped in Aeternum’s signature style, waved a small Hallerus flag and called out, “Welcome back! My family’s from Archenport—we’re with you!”Helen felt a warmth rise in her chest. Her lips curled, hesitant, but sincere. She lifted a gloved hand and waved back.Her ministers behind her smiled with relief. The people hadn’t forgotten them. Or maybe… maybe Aeternum’s citizens were willing to forgive, even if their leaders were not.Still, with each new marvel the city revealed, her pride took another small wound.Digital traffic signs shifted in real-time. Elevated walkways moved gently above the streets. Tall towers bore solar glass and climate control systems beyond her comprehension. Everything was clean. Efficient. Vibrant.Hallerus, by contrast, was still struggling to clear
“But that’s not all,” he said. “We’re not just building stores. We’re buying land.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed. “Land?”Andrea arched a brow. “Personal Aeternum-controlled territory?”“Exactly,” Mies said. “We’ll negotiate the purchase and designation of sovereign Aeternum land within Hallerus. Locations where we will build permanent structures—embassies, farms, factories. Property they can’t touch. Not legally. Not politically.”Andrea crossed her arms. “You want to turn this alliance into territorial leverage.”“I want security,” Mies said. “We trusted them once. And they betrayed us. This time, we own the pieces on the board. If they want access to food and prosperity, they give us something real in return. Soil.”Elijah nodded. “No oversight from their monarchy. No interference. Full extraterritorial jurisdiction.”Mies smiled. “Exactly. We build an Aeternum that lives inside their walls. One they can’t tear down without declaring war.”Andrea added, “And when we build those farms and
“We’re proud Aeternians now,” said one local organizer. “But we remember where we came from. If we can help fix the old home while serving the new one, why not?”In university lecture halls, students debated passionately.“Strategically, re-integrating Hallerus into Aeternum’s economic sphere is a no-brainer,” one economics major argued. “We’ll be able to shape their policies from within.”“But trust is a currency too,” another replied. “If we spend it on the wrong partner again, we might pay more than we think.”In a small park in the east district, a group of Aeternum veterans sat on a bench, medals on their coats, eyes on the screens showing news footage of Andrea’s visit.“You remember that street?” one said, pointing.“I remember clearing it house by house,” another replied. “They cheered us one day. Chased us out the next.”The youngest of them, silent until now, finally spoke.“We gave them peace once. Maybe it’s time to give them a future.”Silence followed. No one disagreed.
