It was a next day that I decided to left the hospital and fully made a statement that I have finally made a full recovery. Naturally I didn’t hold any press conference that I am finally back in full health to the media, I’ve just leave it to Mariah Mills to do so. But everyone has probably knows about it since, because when I left the hospital, every single media reporter that has been camping outside, immediately run at my motorcade, so I can assured that at this moment everyone would already got the new that I have finally got out.
“Let’s go..we got no time to lose..”.
“Alright Sir, Everyone stay alert, Car 1 and Car 2…stay close..keep the formation tight…I want everyone on high alert..”. (Bang Dae Jung)
All my security team were now on high alert, Bang Dae Jung even ready to wave a war right now. I chooses to immediately headed to Oklahoma, the place where I was
Oklahoma City, Purple Horse Hotel.Robert Corn has never anticipated that his prize company, that he has build with his own hand and nurtured it just like his proud possession like his own child, has now become the very burden that cause the harm to his own family, his wife, son and daughter. Once his company could enjoy the peace and the profits that it brought after many of their inventions brought a new prospect to the world of firearms. Together with his fellow brothers and sister in researched to realize their innocent dream to make a working plasma weapons just like on the Sci-di film, Finally after millions of money and hours of hard work, they finally did it.At that time everyone in Manganese Arms Manufactures Limited were ecstatic, Happy beyond words, that they have become the only company in the world that had finally made a working 100% genuine Plasma weapons, and this technology were theirs. The moment they release their finding
Robert Corn asked me a rather good question, which really sums up the whole situations for both of us. Though he was a little be too on guard and shaken right now, Still he steeled his heart to let out what Is going on in his mind. I admired that, After all this man is already in the last leg of his life, everything that he has build and tried to protect has already started to be in shambles. Right now, he only had 2 possession in his hand, his factory and also the office building in Miami, then the small lab in a form of a 1 storey building in the Down town of Oklahoma City.“Can I fight Jonathan Group?…The answer is yes I can…and as a matter of fact…right now, I have already bring the war to them…Not many can threaten my life and walks away from it free…”.There’s no use in hiding and says something useless and waste precious times on the side ways, whilst the Jonathan Group is still wan
“GET OUT OF HERE!!!…YOU ANIMAL!!…don’t you dare touch her!!…don’t you dare touch my daughter!!…”. (Julie Corn)Just like what had happened 2 days ago, The Jonathan Group representative and a dozen of his men once again ‘Visited’ Emily Corn, and this time they were in the ICU ward and trying to get close to her, wanting to break Robert Corn resolve by once again do the same thing that they have done before. But this time, they were ordered to make sure the reminder is much more bigger and real than before.“Julie…you know we won’t stop…THIS!..won’t stop until your stupid husband resign from his position…and hand over the technology to me…”. (Mr. Kennard)Mr.Kennard were one of the Jonathan Group higher level employee, He was send here personally by Jonathan Reyes, to make sure that, Manganese Arms Manufactur
The entire hospital has actually gone berserk over what had just happened. My teams of doctors and nurses that I specially brought over from the Blue Hill Medical Centre has already on the scene around and inside Emily Corn bed, doing an extensive care for her, The team were not exactly small, beside Tanya Kate, the director and Professor, there was 2 more VH-Serum doctor specialist, which apparently a new department that Mariah Mills has invented. Then a team of 6 Head Nurses came along to help with every procedure, This team alone can do any surgery without any problem.Not to mention the Doctor Penini the young and passionate resident and the 4 Nurses from Saint Mary Hospital, Were also in the midst of helping Emily Corn. I am quite sure that among all these doctors and nurses in this hospital they were the one that only stood up to Kennard thug moves. Which, to be honest is a bad news for their career and future, but their good will and right heart is very c
“<BAM!!>…God damnit!!…Just who are that man??!!…Can someone find out who that man was??..”. (Kennard)After the hospital incident, Due to the appearance and of so many reporters around, Mr.Kennard chooses to retreat without making any scenes. Instead using the hospital security they just slips away, embarrassed with all the questioned that were thrown at him as he walked out, Unable to answer anything and on top of that, Ever since he got back to the Jonathan Group branch head quarter in Miami, Everything seem to went against him.“Sir…Sir..you should looked at this…I think I know who that man is…”. (Blonde Hair Secretary)One of Kennard Staff, ran into his office which is now filled with Kennard and Jonathan Group men. Discussing the issues that has just happened. The Blonde secretary handed him, a tablet pc and then switch opened the main TV in the
“...Sir..how did you do that…That was over a kilometer away…didn’t you said that you were only a Medic back in the army?…”. (Bang Dae Jung)Bang Dae Jung were the only person that were on the rooftop of a shopping mall with me, shooting someone a kilometer away, to me is quite easy, My entire being is no longer can be categorized as normal. Shooting an Egg doesn’t even posed a challenge for me, even more a person. Before Jonathan Reyes shooters were able to shoot Kennard, I intercepts everything, but to be honest, I never thought that Jonathan Reyes would be so arrogant to be so dared enough to stay beside hi shooters in the same room.It’s made everything easier for me, to not only shoot the shooters and also completely shoot off Jonathan Reyes right leg. Although I can shoot him dead at the moment, I didn’t I wanted him to suffers, after all although me being found injured were not r
By 4 PM in the afternoon, what seemingly to be ordinary luxury Yacht that were parked on one of the Miami most bustling piers, has finally left for the open sea. What is more unique about this specific Yacht, is that there’s Actually 4 most powerful and influential people in Miami, the Miami City Mayor Xuarzez, The Miami Chief of Police Carrie, Miami City Court Judge Stacie, and The Florida States Governor himself, Governor Scotie.“What is going on?…why are you guys here?…”.(Governor Scotie)Unlike the other 3 person that surprisingly were on this expensive Yacht, Governor Scotie felt that his presences here were out of place, after all he is the governor for the states of Florida not the Miami which only a city an not a state. But just like everyone on this Yacht, he was here naturally not because of a reason that he can proudly said.Truth to be told, just a hour ago, as he was enjoying
“<CRASH!!!>…Useless!!…all of you!!…What use that I got for paying millions of dollar to hire you and your hundreds of security..if you can’t even protect me?!!…Look at my leg!!…You Stupid Idiot!!!..<Huff!..Huff!!>…”. (Jonathan Reyes)Jonathan Reyes were furious after he was barely escape death in his top floor office, just right after he was boasting and tried to kill, Mr.Kennard. Although he didn’t want to acknowledge nor admits out loud, for the first time ion his life, He felt extremely terrified, helpless and scared by someone. This is the first time, instead of him playing with others lives, another person were playing with his, And that person played him like a doll on a string.Jonathan Reyes were constantly bombarding his security and as well as anyone that were around him, with insult, anger, anything that were near and around him will be used as a weapons
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.
