The office went stark silence as everyone heard Park Zuo Yung snappy replies, after all knowing her, as my assistant she is fully on mboard with me and fully on my side no matter what the issues is especially whenever we were in a presence of someone else other than the both of us. Then again, she might actually not that too into Choi Chae Ri superior attitude, that often wanting to challenge or even to eager to protect herself despite no threat that would actually harmed her, on the instance that what had transpired these whole day, the moment we arrived here at CBC.“You guys can stop this meaningless stand off….Now, all I said and on that files…is all real, they are connected to some really really bad people…well..when we think about it they were the bad people…So, I figure…considering the degree of this files…is large enough and concerning enough right?..”.With me settling both of them down, naturally both of them just scoff at each others. Thinking back into what I just said, Ch
“We simply makes every single person in the world as the witness…Through a show…for certain when that happened…no one would be dumb enough to even dared to take their side…”.“Wait..Huh?…”. (Choi Chae Ri)Choi Chae Ri were thrown into a confusion as she heard my very nonchalant and simple reply to her questions. That is right, it was to simply exposed the White Star Entertainment and also the entire Dragon Bei Triads to the entire world, unmasked them in the show and making them the centre of the spotlights. This has made Choi Chae Ri sinks in her seat and thinking deeply about what I just said to her, I on the other hand just let her absorb everything on her own time.“...Now, that is a long time to figure things out, when everything were already lays out for her to think about……Seriously Sir, I don’t see as to why she was chosen for this kind of role in our organization…”. (Park Zuo Yung)Park Zuo Yung who seated next to me, grumble again as she saw Choi Chae Ri frustrating r
“First, White Star Entertainment…cannot be treated the same as any entertainment agency company out there….I am sure by now you’ve already figured out that these guys weren’t normal at all…”. (Park Zuo Yung)“That is for sure….they were thugs…gangsters…even if they change their field from loan sharking and gangster works…they will stuck with their attitudes…doing business just like they used to...I have heard about the way the conduct their business, here and there…I thought it was just competitors that were trying to slam their reputations…but right now…I am sure that all the rumor about the were true after all…”. (Choi Chae Ri)“Well…it is…in fact those rumor that you and many other had heard..is only the watered down version…what they did is far more worst than anyone can imagine….anyway…listen to her…”.On any business deals, no matter what the field is, shady business always there, Bribery, ‘gifts’ is something that is common, even I do that kind of things before, and right now,
Inside the CBC CEO Office, currently Park Zuo Yung were trying her hardest and in all seriousness, explaining everything single step of the plan, to Choi Chae Ri. Naturally what she said to her, were mostly the general plans that thing had to go, with several part omitted. And as for those omitted part, is all gonna be done by me and the selected few of Virtue Financial. Because most of it will be quite hideous to be told to someone like Choi Chae Ri. To me, just letting go of those that were trying to harm someone that were under my protection is not an options at all, they had to pay with their lives for it.“That is why…although, the productions crew and even the main PD not knowing this plan…you as the CEO of CBC had to know the extent of this entire plan…”. (Park Zuo Yung)“...Since you wanted to do this thing..this way…naturally I have to know about it…after all, you are basically wanted to bring down not only a company…but an entire criminal syndicate…”. (Choi Chae Ri)The plan
I considered the meeting with Choi Chae Ri is the wrap fro the part one of my operation plans. Ever since I arrived at Seoul and already went through all the annoying phase after the incident, my anger has mostly subsides by now. After we left the CBC headquarter, I mostly jus roam around, I just told Park Zuo Yung that I wanted to go an have lunch and the rest was up to her to decide, I am seated on the back seat of my car, and once again we were stuck in the traffic. Currently it was 4 in the afternoon, everyone were still in their busy mode right now, Hwa Young too were busy, after all, she had insisted to continues her recording, after Main Producer San Da Hee, returned back to the locations from the CBC building.“I am planning on eating a Tteokbokki right now…we are already late for lunch…it was better to have a full meal at dinner…for now, we should just have some snack..”. (Par Zuo Yung)“Hmm?…okay..it doesn’t matter to me anyway…sure dinner is good then…by the way…is it just
At the Seorak Hill, there were a lot of couples, college students, high school students and many other young and hipster looking people roaming around here, enjoying their time doing whatever they likes, mostly were dating and just picnic around the place. As the newly open recreations place with beautiful views of the bustling city of Seoul from up hill, on top of that the entire Hill were beautifully decorated, the grass were well maintained, the cleanliness were maintained. On top of that there were also many spots that are very attractive to it’s visitors.With so many park benches and even barbecue places to be freely use, everyone love this place, on top of that there were also many attractions for couples to enjoy, places for pictures and places for them to do lovers activities, like leaving their locks on a tree of love, the large arrangements for couple dining, there is even a motel and hotel here, situated at the long strip shops at the same place as the Tteokbokki restauran
“Guys!!..you’re not going to believe me today when I said this!…look, today at Seorak Hill!…I found an extremely Handsome Hyung!!…look!..look!..”. (Video Log VJ)“Oh my god!!..is that even allowed on a man?..”. (College Girls)The streamers, the bystanders and even those that were walking around the parking lot were shocked silly after seeing an appearance of a man that seemingly coming out of a comic book. His looks were unreal, even the top male actors and models could barely hold a candle to this man, what made him even attractive is that, the man was simply moving about normally, also he seems not to be so arrogant about himself, whenever his eyes meet with someone, he will casually just greet them. He felt like a celebrity, but no one ever know who he is, despite how attractive he is, and just how he made every single female that looked at him blushed. Not a single soul wanted to get close to him, still even if they wanted to get close to him, it was questionable if they can, aft
“Of course I wanna take a look!..with that many attention…surely we have to take advantage of it….we will get famous like this!!..Let’s GO Chang Soo-ya..!!..”. (BJ Max)Despite his handsome looks and fit body, all this does not reflect on his streaming popularity, in fact he was only at the level of medium popularity on the streaming platform no matter what he do. Now that there were an opportunity to bump up his viewer rates, naturally he would not let this go.“Okay!…but what about them?…do we just leave them behind?…we might get in trouble if we just let them be..”. (Chang Soo)Chang Soo pointed at the 4 BJ behind BJ Max, unlike BJ Max, these other 4 BJ were not an independent streamer like him, they were coming from an agency, The White Star Entertainment, the reason as to why they were filming together is because Chang Soo and BJ Max already took a collaboration fee from them, after all, despite their outstanding good looks and bombastic body, these fellows were all just mediocre
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
