Just as Park Zuo Yung Said that, I could already hear the commotions outside my study room, which I am pretty sure that the gang already got here. Whenever Catherine and Ken were here, especially when they both were accompanied by Sharon,Helena and Marcuez all of them were old friend so that is only natural that they reacted that way, For Mariah and Ran Hyun Ok, I am sure that as a junior on the group they were mostly just stood on the side lines.“Looks like all of them are already here…”. (Park Zuo Yung)Park Zuo Yung said that as she went to open the door to the study. Knowing them they would naturally stride directly to here as soon as they know that we were all in here. And just like Park Zuo Yung and Choi Jin Su had anticipated, all of them really got here, with the first one that steps in were Ken and Catherine.“Hello~..Morning Mies~..my bud…how’s you’ve been brother…wow…have you not cut your hair yet?…it’s getting very long by now..”. (Ken)With his bubbly personality, he com
Choi Jin Su could only swallow Catherine scathing remarks without any chance to reply at all. After all when we all thought back, the last time incident that stems from Choi Jin Su and her teams does made an Impact to the company a little bit. And Catherine surely will not easily let any of that go, she is that kind of person, if she weren’t happy with someone she says it, no matter who they were, and that includes me. Before Catherine mood getting even worse by the seconds, Choi Jin Su didn’t waste anytime, and went straight to brief her on everything regarding the White Star Entertainment incidents.“...Wow…Mies..this is truly a heavy issues…Drugs..exploitation…scandals..this is…big…….okay then…I will not say ‘no’ to this…but do you have a solid plans for this?..”. (Catherine)When both Catherine and Choi Jin Su were speaking, every members of the inner circle were already in my study and all of them were making themselves comfortable at the sofa. Naturally every single one of
When everyone dive deep into the reason as to why I decided to pick a fight with the White Star Entertainment, one reason that stood out the most is the fact that, the White Star Entertainment were an aggressive lobbyist. As a matter of fact, it was the truth, they were rather wanted to clearly took monopoly of everything that they con close contact with. Right now, they were actually had already have a coalitions with the current government opposition party. And that alone, enough for me to see them as a threat to Virtue Financial safety of expansion to the entire Country.Although I don’t really mind a competitions, still I despise it when the rivals would resolve to do dirty stuff on me. Virtue Financial as of right now, has a clear standing that we were against sharing our secrets with others, and that privileges were something that many uses to get on our good sides. The Current ruling party promise me, that they will never demand anything from Virtue Financial and rather satisfi
Helena discovery on Senator Byeong Sung Min data made everyone looked at the screen with a serious expression and silence. If anyone who didn’t know who this man is, their first impression were simply going to deduce that the old man were just nothing but a high caliber criminal actually screwed with so many lives and on top of that have a lot of money in their accounts.“Now, that is some record….but let’s be honest..that is some efficient use of his influence…if you were going to be corrupt politician at the very least..be very good at it…and this man really do good at it…”. (Marcuez Vega)Vega were on the verge of laughing as he saw the track records of Byeong Sung Min on the screen, tax evasion of millions of dollars, improper use of power and authority. Accepting bribes amounted to hundreds of millions dollars, multiple secret trust fund and account. Covering crimes. On top of that, this Senator were once the minister of Intelligence, and until now, he kept using a part of the In
With Virtue Financial point of actions to be taken from now on has been explained to everyone, no one have any qualms about how we should treat the White Star Entertainment. Everyone agreed that for the best interest of Virtue Financial, they have to be destroyed and so does those that were around them. Catherine were also delighted to hear that, when White Star Entertainment, she will be taking over all the talents there. After all she do take her Entertainment Agency seriously and having a talents always a things that she welcomes at any times.“Then again, I supposed I had to reformed them once the entered the C Media Entertainment…but…it’s okay..Owh Yeah..I heard that one of the artist actually raise his hand on Hwa Young..”. (Catherine)“Hmm….that’s the catalyst of everything up to this point…thanks to that idiot I was able to finds out about this festering threat that looming over us in silent…Since then, I have been messing with them..”.Catherine gave an approval looks, noddin
My appointment of the Risk Management Team to officially entered the highest executive level of Virtue Financial, did not shocked anyone in the room at all. After all, it was clear to see just how beneficial it would be to have them on board. Catherine and the others knows how crucial the Risk Team are, especially when handling some sensitive matter in the business world, especially as the entire world were full of risk. Often times, when doing a business there were a necessary risk to be taken and on top of that in some business it was best to be covering a tracks.Therefore having a professional team, to covertly handled all the hidden agenda whilst fully dedicated to preserved the company image and prestige is something that Virtue Financial really needs. After all, if we goes around the table, every single person that seated on the seat, all of them have their history and best believe that all that history is better much kept hidden. Everyone acknowledge that Risk Management Team
What was in the briefcase on top of the table, that had attracted an exaggerated reactions form everyone is the newly developed artificial limbs that Aeternum Research and Development, Medical Department had devised and created. Even in Aeternum this was a rather ground breaking discovery and creations that has stunned so many people. Now as I brought it here, everyone will naturally have the same reactions as those that were back in Aeternum. Although on Earth we were much more technological advance then the Medieval Era of Fantasma, still the mechanical feats and creations of these particular artificial limbs has both surpassed the both world standards.“Wait?…is that really an prosthetic limbs?…it looks, so real…..”. (Sharon Jackson)Sharon reactions was she had to come forward and made a close inspections, after Mariah Mills who’s already took on her hand the Prosthetic arm and inspect it carefully with a careful eye. For Sharon she too were very interested on the prosthetic limbs
Mariah being the expert in the medical field in the entire room went on to explained just how revolutionary the artificial limbs that were on the table right now. In both the mechanical terms and also the medical aspect of the limbs were simply beyond the time of any such same artificial limbs in the market right now, it even surpassing by leads and bound from the current in use Artificial limbs that Virtue Medical had been using and selling at the moment.“...So, Mariah…you were saying that these…artificial limbs before us…will revolutionize the current artificial limbs market right?..alright…let’s set aside, the markets and also the revolutionize part first….Mies…is this…safe?..”. (Catherine)Seeing that both Sharon and Mariah were on the cloud nine and extremely praising the artificial limbs to the top. Catherine took the leads to asked the very important question.“It’s safe…in my opinion, it is…so far there is not complications should it being used by anyone…though I have yet mad
“Count Dracul,”she began, her voice firm and unwavering,“I trust you’ve gathered the intelligence we requested. I need a full assessment of the current situation in the capital—numbers, key locations, morale, everything.”Count Dracul inclined his head and moved to his desk, retrieving a thick file of documents.“Of course, Lt. Colonel. I anticipated your arrival and prepared these reports. They contain detailed accounts of the enemy’s troop movements, the state of the Queen’s court, and the overall morale of the capital’s populace.”He handed the file to Selie with both hands, his gaze flickering nervously as she began flipping through the pages with meticulous precision. The room fell silent save for the sound of rustling paper. Dracul, despite his composed exterior, felt a bead of sweat trail down his temple. Selie’s reputation for strictness was well-known, and he could only hope his work met her exacting standards.Selie’s sharp eyes scanned the documents, her brow furrowing sl
“You know, it’s said that the Maidens could topple an entire city if they wanted. I mean, we’re special forces, but compared to them…”He trailed off, shaking his head. Lionel smirked, glancing back at the young sergeant.“Compared to them? We’re kids playing soldier, Miles. But remember this: tonight, we’re part of something bigger. So, keep your head in the game.”After an hour of steady driving, the convoy finally came to a halt roughly one kilometer east of Alemia Capital City. The soldiers disembarked quietly, their boots crunching softly against the dirt. The chilly night air bit at their skin, but it wasn’t the cold that sent shivers down their spines—it was the sight before them.In the faint moonlight, Alemia Capital City loomed in the distance like a wounded giant. Its once-mighty walls were battered and crumbling, scars of relentless conflict etched into its stone.Surrounding the city, like a cancerous growth, were countless makeshift camps—hundreds of thousands of tents s
“The Maidens will lead the mission. Their unmatched skills, combined with the support of the Special Forces under Captain Lionel, will ensure success. This is a surgical operation—precision and stealth are paramount.”Lionel chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair.“Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Watching the Maidens in action is a rare privilege, and I’d be lying if I said my team wasn’t looking forward to it.”Selie smirked.“Captain, try not to get too distracted. We still need you to keep up.”Lionel held up his hands in mock surrender.“Noted, Colonel. I’ll make sure my team stays focused.”I stood from my chair, signaling the seriousness of the mission.“Selie, you and the Maidens will infiltrate the capital. Your objectives are threefold: map the city’s fortifications, gather intelligence on troop deployments, and locate key targets for our final assault. Captain Lionel, your team will support from a distance—ensuring extraction points are secure and ready for the operatio
With that thought, I turned my focus back to the map, ready to guide my army toward the final battle. On the third day of our march, we finally reached the designated halting point in the Eastern Region. Here, our army was to temporarily stop and wait for the other fronts to arrive at their own respective rendezvous points.Among the five regions, my Eastern troops were the second to reach their location. The Western Troops, led by General Lucas and Governor Duke Oliver Gust, had been the first to arrive, thanks to their unopposed journey. As my men began constructing the temporary forward operating base (FOB), a mix of activity unfolded. Engineers worked quickly to establish defensive perimeters, while soldiers erected tents and prepared their rations. Rest rotations were enforced so the troops could rejuvenate themselves for the final phase of the campaign."We’re nearing the end. Every effort now is one step closer to liberating the entire Alemia Nation. Let the troops rest; soon,
"When this war ends, Alemia will rise again, stronger and united under Aeternum. And this march—this slow, deliberate march—is the first step toward that brighter future."With that thought, I turned back toward the command post, ready to oversee the next phase of our campaign.Our troops pressed forward with relentless efficiency, their pace never faltering despite the numerous side missions I tasked to the detachment units. Each liberated settlement followed the same protocol: Capture of Lords: Every noble or lord who held sway over the settlement was immediately captured and sent to Georgina City for judgment. These lords, guilty of oppressing their people, represented the old regime—a relic that had no place in the new Alemia under Aeternum rule. Establishing Order: The local guards were disbanded, their weapons confiscated, and a new administration was set up. Four of my trusted soldiers were stationed in each settlement to oversee governance, ensuring law, order, and security we
"Commander Bravo reports success in the town of Greenwill. Hostile resistance neutralized. The population is secure and stabilized.""Detachment Echo has liberated the village of Windcliff. No casualties, local leaders have pledged loyalty to Aeternum governance."Each report filled me with pride. These were not just military victories but also symbolic steps toward a better future for Alemia. As I gazed out of the vehicle window, watching the endless column of soldiers, vehicles, and supplies move steadily forward, I reflected on the strategy.There was no need to rush. Our overwhelming superiority meant that time was on our side. The final battle would come soon enough. For now, every slow step forward was an opportunity to stabilize and rebuild, ensuring that no shadow of rebellion could remain."Let others see this not just as a march to war but as a march of progress. Each town secured, each village stabilized is another foundation stone for the future of Alemia under Aeternum’s
“You want to speak with the president?”.Lieutenant Colonel Selie spoke with a quizzical tone in her voice, although the town had been liberated and his mission are basically completed, Captain Lionel felt the need to give the full extent of his reports on how he was able to liberate the town. After all the town surrendered to him before he was able to even fire a single shot from his firearms. This situation is rather odd, and he need the president to know everything about it, just so that he can take actions to deal with anything that might come up afterwards. So, the phone call turned into a brief awkward silence for a little bit, as the Lieutenant Colonel on the other side were thinking about his request.“Well… since you had performed well…. I will reward you with a direct line to the president himself…”.“I… Thank you, madam…”.Lionel was very appreciative about his Lieutenant Colonel giving him permission to speak with the president.“Don’t worry about it… in fact, you aren’t
From the safety of her balcony, an elderly woman raised her hands to the sky, tears streaming down her face.“Thank you, Aeternum. Thank you for saving us!”Parents clutched their children close, explaining with hopeful smiles what this change meant for their future. Young adults and teens cheered in the streets, their voices ringing with newfound hope.The celebratory mood reached a crescendo as the Aeternum Special Forces, alongside town guards, began systematically detaining the corrupt elites. The crowd’s energy shifted to awe as they watched the once-mighty nobles, lords, and wealthy merchants dragged out of their grand carriages. Dressed in their opulent attire, the elite now looked out of place, bewildered, and terrified.“These are the ones who’ve stolen from us!”cried a farmer, his voice echoing with righteous anger.“Justice at last!”another voice shouted, met by roaring cheers of agreement. Despite their emotions, the townsfolk knew better than to interfere. The authority
“Because we’ve seen what happens to those who oppose Aeternum. You bring order, prosperity, and justice—things this town has been starved of for decades. Our so-called lords have fled like rats, but the people... they welcome you with open arms.”Lionel nodded, his grip on his weapon easing.“Very well. Gather your men and have them lay down their weapons. My team will oversee the transition of control.”Luis complied immediately, issuing orders to the remaining guards to disarm and report to Aeternum’s soldiers. As the formalities were completed, Lionel turned to Marlow.“Get on the comms and update the President. Black Eagle Town is officially under our control.”Marlow smirked.“This might be the easiest mission we’ve ever had.”Lionel chuckled.“Don’t jinx it, Marlow. We’re not done yet.”Word of the surrender spread quickly among the townsfolk. The celebration that had started with the sight of Aeternum helicopters now reached a fever pitch. Children ran through the streets shout
