As soon as I got inside the Cafe, I can finally feel the I can breath again. I never know in my life that I would have to face that kind of treatment, the fans are really something, but thanks to the Security that were prepared before hand, they could not swarmed me. Also I noticed that my fans are actually all sophisticated to, although at first they were like a mob, then after a few second, all of them just stood there smiling and stopped rushing. As I got in, Park Zuo Yung were waiting for me with 2 cup on her hand.“...My drinks?..”.“Yes, Sir…wow, sir…I know you got a lot of follower in the Gram..but this?…it’s a little bit of a waking up call for us..”. (Park Zuo Yung)She was genuinely stunned as she looked over at the outside of the cafe as she handed me my first cup of espresso.“This..this is quite a normal scene actually…in the States before, it was much more shocking…even at the South America..it was much more larger..”. (Bang Dae Jung)“Really?…how come that I barely seen
For Producer San Da Hee, and as well as all of the ‘In The Personal Life’ show crew and productions. All of them were rather looking forward and excited for this time filming, because compared to before right now they were about to film a whole different genre that they were used to. Before many of them had recorded and filmed a numbers of celebrities daily lives and also some famous athlete daily lives. But this time they were about to film a businessman daily lives, on top of that it was one of the world most famous businessman.President Mies Sai, the Founder and Sole owner of the world most Private company that had made many of the recent world changing waves from their inventions and business moves. The company were shrouded in a constant mysteries, since they were founded, no one knows where they come from, but one thing that many knows that they coming our of the gates blazing, in 6 months of their debut, Virtue Financial had made all the right moves in their investment, with 9
Seeing that everyone were waiting for me and it seems that they rather haven’t done anything, though I noticed that some of the camera had already started rolling, but still there’s no order were made yet, i felt that it was okay to proceed with my own pace. I come to Hwa Young first, as she already started to staring at me with a star in her eyes, sometimes she would act like this with me, it was just like her saying to me that she wanted me to let everyone knows that I were with her.“Hello, Afternoon Everyone……..Producer San Da Hee…is something bothering you?..”.Just like every single person that have seen me for the first time, they were all stunned, even the Producer were just stared at me like I am a wall. I stood before her for a few second for her to finally snapped out of it as I raise my voice a little bit. I know this is probably because of my looks and vibes that I have, this is apart of the passive skills that I have, it can captivates people perceptions a little bit, bu
Despite the weird payments that I demanded, everything were solved rather quick. After a few minutes, finally we started the recording for the show, the first part of it were just me getting interviewed by the Producer and the crew itself, today it was mostly about an introductions about me. After that for the second part, it will be an interview with me and Hwang Hwa Young, after all, through this show, we will finally shows to the people that both of us really are in a serious relationship, of which I am sure that many viewers were already anticipating it.“...Right here?….are you already started filming?…did you?….oh okay…”.Before the camera, instead of feeling nervous, I didn’t feel anything at all, after finding me seat, I just casually started talking. Producer San Da Hee were the one that will be interviewing me behind the camera.“So..first…we can start..with introductions of yourself…”.(Producer San Da Hee)“Okay…My Name is Mies Sai, a simple independent entrepreneur…I consi
A sudden gunshots reverberate through out the entire area, and when a stray bullets actually comes and breaks the windows on the second floor of the cafe, where I were currently filming an interview, it send everyone into a state of shocks. Shards of broken glass scattered all over the places, luckily the stray bullets, finds itself embed at the cement floor, just a few dozen inches away from where I were seated. It was smacked right in the middle of the interview space, the broken glass shards went flying everywhere, and quite a numbers of them find themselves on the sofa where I were seated.“What the heck is that?…is that a gun shots?…”. (Camera man 1)“It is right?…oh god the glass shards is everywhere…Is everyone okay?!..”. (Floor Director)The filming crews only recovered from the shocked after a few dozen seconds. And the first thing that they realizes and saw was the broken glass that spread everywhere. Luckily most of the staff were a little bit farther away from the affected
I throw my coats aside since it was still have many fine shards of glass all over it. Hwa Young were still shivering in my arm, she never released her grip on the hem of my sleeves. Clearly shaken by everything that had happened but her real emotions does not appears on her face. Often times, rather admired her strong heart, especially at times like this. Not everyone can hold on like her, Due to my reminder there were numbers of people currently hides themselves away from the nearby windows.“What happened?..where are these shots coming from?..”.Choi Jin Su were quick to support me and Hwa Young, she took off her coat and draped them over Hwa Young Shoulders. Meanwhile, Park Zuo Yung just comes up from downstairs.“IT WAS COMING FROM THE BUIDLING NEARBY SIR!..there were people fighting in there…we don’t know the real situations..but from what we can see…it seem like 2 criminal organizations were fighting each others!!..”. (Park Zuo Yung)The first part of her sentence, rang loudly a
The seconds everyone heard, What Producer San Da Hee voices and orders, the reactions were divided into 2, the majority numbers of the crews, which mostly the veteran ones were all visibly excited by the order, but for the other small numbers, who is mostly the junior crews, all of them were just straight up bewildered of what the Main Producer actually ordered. Instead of canceling the show and went somewhere else for safety, she wanted to continue the filming and from the scales that she described this time, she wanted everyone to make sure to give their fullest for these effort.“What?!..San Da Hee PD!…what are you talking about?..are you crazy?..this is dangerous!!..”. (Hwang Hwa Young)As a person that were still shaken up by everything. As San Da Hee and the filming crew already pointed their camera on the other building and also some already positioned their camera even further closer to the windows and the glass door to film everything clearly. Hwa Young has instead become the
Just as the first camera director that actually set his camera near the balcony told everyone that the fights had already broke out and is right now in a full swing that even spread from the inside of the opposite building out to the street, everyone felt that this is clearly slowly getting out of hand. The fights was violence and graphic than everyone can imagine, the gangster fought with weapons in their hands, bloods and unconscious bodies started to littered all over the roadside, on the pedestrian walkway, leaning on the building wall. Still there is no stopping this, rather the fights even getting more intense.“This is insane!!..is this even the city that we know?…these people..is just…insane!..”. (Writer Cho)The writers were one of the crews that have the guts to actually peeked their heads out at the broken windows to see what is going on. Covering her mouth with her hand and gasp, she saw the violence and unable to face the reality of the violence that ins going on at the m
Aeternum had taught her a valuable lesson—control is not about force, but manipulation. So, she would make them turn on each other.Helen began summoning the nobles one by one, speaking to them in private meetings. She whispered honeyed words into their ears.“Viscount Talis, I need a reliable man. Duke Rehn is plotting against me, and I require your loyalty.”“Countess Ferros, your influence is invaluable. I fear Duke Rehn is siphoning funds, and I need someone I trust to investigate.”“Duke Rehn, the other nobles are moving against you. You must act swiftly before they remove you from power.”With every meeting, seeds of distrust were sown.The nobles—drunk on greed—were too blind to see that they were being played.And so, one by one, they began to conspire against each other.As the nobles scrambled to destroy each other, Helen’s true loyalists made their move.Under the cover of darkness, handpicked assassins carried out eliminations with precision.Duke Rehn?Found dead in his s
“Then Mies will destroy Hallerus.”Helen turned sharply toward him. “You think he would go that far?”Merrica didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”Helen stared at him, searching for a lie. A hint of hesitation. But there was none.“He will not give you mercy a second time, Helen,” Merrica said. “If those nobles push for war, if they even dare to challenge Aeternum—you will lose.”He took another step forward, his voice heavy. “And I will not be able to protect you.”For the first time in their conversation, Helen looked away. Merrica saw it. The fear. The realization.She already knew everything he was saying was true. She had just been too proud—too trapped—to admit it.Silence hung between them. Then, at last, Helen spoke.“…What do you want me to do?”Merrica finally allowed himself a small sigh of relief.“You already know what must be done, Helen,” he said gently. “You must take back your court.”Helen slowly nodded, though her expression remained grim. “Those nobles will not leave peace
“Merrica understands that if Hallerus moves against Aeternum, we won’t hold back.”Kasuma gave a knowing smirk. “And you won’t hesitate to destroy them.”I met her gaze, unblinking.“No.”A heavy silence fell between us.Kasuma leaned forward, her voice softer but firm. “You don’t want war with Hallerus.”“No, I don’t,” I admitted. “The people of Hallerus don’t deserve to suffer for their queen’s mistakes. Merrica doesn’t deserve to be put in that position.”Kasuma studied me for a moment before sighing. “Then let’s hope Duke Merrica succeeds.”I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts swirling. Visma was controlled. Chaos was their prison, and we held the keys. Hallerus, however, was different.It was once an ally, a friend, a brother. But betrayal had shattered that bond. Still… I didn’t want to be the one to crush it completely. I drummed my fingers on my desk. If Helen could be saved, then perhaps—A knock interrupted my thoughts.“Enter,” I called.An ACIA officer stepped in, bowi
The Merchant Guild Leader, Darvio Vinn, who had profited the most from blocking Aeternum trade. His warehouses stored inferior goods at premium prices, keeping the economy strangled in his grip.The General of the Royal Army, Lionel Ferin, who had bled the treasury dry with excessive military spending, preaching about “independence” while weakening their forces with outdated tactics.They had to be removed. One by one, quietly, without causing suspicion. But how? Merrica could not simply accuse them—Helen trusted them. If he moved too boldly, she would see him as the enemy.No, he had to be careful. He had to play the game. Merrica stood, pouring himself another glass of wine. He would begin by exposing the corruption—turning the people against the parasites that fed on Hallerus.The merchants would learn how Darvio Vinn had been overpricing basic goods. The military officers would see how General Lionel Ferin had been wasting funds on obsolete strategies. The court would hear whisper
At a local tavern, I overheard a group of soldiers drunkenly complaining."Our weapons are old.""Our rations taste like pig slop.""Did you hear? Even Alemia is receiving Aeternum goods now.""We should have never broken ties."I smirked. They knew. Their queen had failed them, and their nation was falling behind while the rest of the world thrived under Aeternum’s soft power. The people of Hallerus were not fools. They saw the rising prosperity of the allied nations, the luxurious goods, the technological marvels, the entertainment, the food. They could only watch in envy.At sunset, I met with Duke Merrica Murrs at his estate. His once-proud posture had been replaced with exhaustion. His eyes, which once held confidence, now carried deep regret.We sat in his grand study, the silence stretching between us. Finally, he spoke."I should have stopped her."I said nothing."I vouched for her. I believed in her." He exhaled, shaking his head. "And now, my people suffer because of my mis
Meanwhile, in Yulga, Maria sat comfortably in her study, reading the latest reports.Lysander stood beside her, amused. "Another assassin failed. This is getting predictable."Maria smirked. "Vismal thinks he’s playing chess, but he’s only moving pawns."She set down her glass, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let him keep trying. Let him think he has control.""And when he finally realizes he doesn’t?" Lysander asked.Maria leaned back, exhaling softly. "By then, he won’t be king anymore."While King Vismal wasted his energy plotting assassinations, he failed to see the true danger.His nobles squabbled over the black market. His people secretly craved Aeternum goods. His own soldiers whispered of defecting.Visma was rotting from the inside out. And Maria? She simply watched it happen. She wasn’t just controlling the black market. She was controlling Visma’s fate. One failed assassination at a time.King Vismal III believed he could eliminate Maria Yulga. He believed he could take
"Oi, you got the stuff?""Yeah, yeah, keep it down!"A merchant nervously looked around before handing over a carefully wrapped package."This is the good stuff—straight from Aeternum. Papa Pizza’s special cheese blend. Got it from a merchant who knows a guy who knows a guy."The buyer, a Visma noble in disguise, snatched it eagerly."Finally! I’ve been dying to try this! You have no idea how boring Visma’s food is compared to Aeternum’s cuisine!""Yeah, yeah, pay up first.""Fine, fine—how much?""Two hundred gold pieces."The noble nearly choked. "T-Two hundred?! That’s robbery!"The merchant smirked. "And yet, you’re still going to pay it, aren’t you?"The noble gritted his teeth, but handed over the money anyway. Aeternum’s products were so desirable that people were willing to spend fortunes just to get a taste.And that was exactly what ACIA wanted. By controlling the underground economy, Aeternum achieved multiple goals:Economic Control – Even though Visma banned Aeternum’s pr
The people were asking too many questions. The smugglers were getting bolder. Even their own guards and soldiers were caught listening to Aeternum’s broadcasts in secret. A revolution wasn’t just coming—it was being broadcast live.In an attempt to regain control, the non-allied nations did the only thing they knew how to do—They cracked down. Massive raids were conducted in the dead of night. Entire villages were searched. Merchants were arrested. Radios were smashed in public squares.But no matter how many products they confiscated, no matter how many smugglers they punished, it didn’t stop. Aeternum’s influence was already too deep. The people had tasted the forbidden fruit—and they weren’t about to let go of it.What made matters worse was that not everyone in power was loyal to the cause. Behind closed doors, even high-ranking nobles were secretly buying Aeternum’s products for themselves. Some were sneaking off to allied territories under the guise of “diplomatic visits” just s
Aeternum had always been known for its technological marvels and superior products, but with easy transportation, its goods became more accessible than ever before.From freshly preserved gourmet food to luxurious household items, Aeternum’s influence began to seep into every aspect of daily life across the continent. And the people? They loved it. Why eat old, stale bread when you could have Aeternum’s fresh-baked soft rolls that lasted for weeks without losing their taste?Why wear itchy, poorly-made foreign garments when you could buy Aeternum’s finely woven, stain-resistant fabrics? Even Aeternum’s entertainment industry was making waves. With their crystal-powered moving pictures, stories from Aeternum began flooding into neighboring lands, captivating audiences with rich tales of adventure, romance, and heroism.It wasn’t just about selling goods anymore. Aeternum was selling a way of life. And everyone wanted in.But not everyone was pleased. The non-allied nations watched in d
