The matter regarding the White Star Entertainment, Dragon Bei Triad and also the whole cluster of the incident is by no means a light matters. It was extremely serious, the drugs that were involved in these case is actually about 30 to 60 percent of the entire country drugs problems, it encompassed half the entire country drugs problem that seemingly to have no end in sight. Added onto that were the human exploitation of White Star Entertainment have done as the basis of operation of their entire company, also rather dangerous subjects, they have done a grave crimes against society and those victims.The prostitution ring, human trafficking, labour exploitation, Predatory contract, murders, scams and so many more crime can be constantly piled up on top one and another when anyone sees the detailed documents that I have put into a folders and currently being read by Minister Choi Han Na. When she came to the records of the BJ Exploitation she even got her eyes widen, as she read the tr
Minister Choi Han Na had been raising her eyebrows multiple times now as she were talking with me. And she also finally got her closures as to why her usually loud lobbyist suddenly all back away from her and her opponents just suddenly gain traction and even fought against her much more strongly than before. It as because, in that folder, The candidate that were against her was the Right Wing Party candidate, Senator Byeong Min Jang, the grandson of Byeong Seung Min himself. And Byeonf Min Jang is actually supported by White Star Entertainment as his main lobbyist.Everything made sense now, that she have read the folder. The reason of her steady declined and loss of approval ratings, the reason as to why her many subordinates just suddenly happened to lose their productivity and some already showing a clear sign of against her policy and as to why numbers of her proposal were rejected at the parliaments. And also, most importantly now she knows why, the question of her current ambit
My questions and what I hoped the answer is going to be from minister Choi Han Na, I a rather hard questions for her to answer it at once at the spots, one of the reasons that I assume that she didn’t want to answer it immediately is that she doesn’t want to looked to eager before me, after all, despite everything. She is a politician and I am a businessman, both of us comes from a different places and field. Or perhaps she might even so proud that she can’t allow herself to be right next to me, when she voiced her decision.So at the end, our private meeting ended with a rather polite and calm manners, both sides respect each others, mostly it was her that comes to and understanding of a glimpse of Virtue Financial and also my power. It was perhaps of all the politician, she were the only one that can see, what Virtue Financial really capable at. And that was, Virtue Financial can sway anything at it’s will, and that fact alone is enough to make anyone wary at Virtue Financial and al
Truthfully at the moment, I rather doesn’t have to many things to asked for, I only have to request, one is for cleaning up all the mess, and second were to smooth up the release of our new prosthetic limbs, that’s all for the moment. Virtue Financial doesn’t really have much of an issue nor something that we want from the government, even more I just hoped that they don’t just bothers me and Virtue Financial too much. After all, normally Virtue Financial is a law abiding company, and it has remained that way all the time. With the exceptions when some trouble comes to our door mostly, only then will no mercy be given to those that tried to do so.“Let’s just live it up to them to decide what they were going to do…if they accept…then it’s great..if don’t…well…we can just find another person to do it…it wasn’t that much of a bigger deals…So, Bang Dae Jung…how is the progress of our other things?..”.“...Each days, we have been proceeding rather smoothly…so far…no one on our side has ca
Jack shows me the new piece of information that he has, it was a recording footage from a security camera inside one of the Corrupt detectives that were involved in the corruptions scandal with White Star Entertainment. Actually all the corrupted official that we got on the list all of them were under surveillance by T.A.S and also the special teams that I have set up. The one that leading the Special teams were naturally Bang Dae Jung, after all, I am not comfortable to run these kind of operation withing the company and using the company resource. Bang Dae Jung team is a team that I trusted and the only team that I have carefully assembled and crafted to really stay loyal to me and comfortable on doing such dirty works and also maintain secrets.The videos shows that the Detective were badly beaten up in his own house, getting roughen up really goo, then tide up to a chair, then interrogated by the gangsters, or rather their enforcement specialist. The video continues for about a do
Although it has been just a few hours seen Choi Han Na meet with the Virtue Financial President, every single minutes of their meetings still carved deeply in her mind and his words is constantly repeating in her thought for the entire day. Even after she got back to her office, she weren’t able to do anything at all, not even her job. Because of the meeting that she had, a lot of things has become clearer for her. One of the thing that really shook her to the core is that, there were a numbers of moles, spies in her closes aide, and all of them has been trying to make sure she failed in every endeavour that she make.“No wonder our tightly secret plans..that, Paramedic initiative…were discovered and immediately canceled in the parliaments…turns out…almost half of our team were spies…”. (Lee Yeun Jong)Being back at the office after the meeting, Lee Yeun Jong were holding in her hand, the lists of spies in their office, and the people that wanted to see Minister Choi Han Na demise. Be
Inside the almost vacant cafe, one particular table seems to have some celebrities occupied it. But in the truth, these 2 people were not at all a celebrities, if any people were to take a careful look at them, they can immediately know both of them because one of them were a sitting minister and the other one was the famous doctor. They both have their own fame, thanks to that despite them having a numbers of glances, not a single soul dare to come closer to the table, instead they avoid it like a plague.“...So, you were saying that you have meet with President Mies right?..then he asked you whether you want to aim higher or not…and if you do…he will support you…right?…that is basically all of it right?..”. (Choi Ji Soo)“...ehm..yeah…the offers that he made….it’s just made me rather bewildered…and truthfully…a tiny bit of fear….I am not someone that will deny a reality…I can see Virtue Financial capability…but…I am rather afraid of what he will asked me to do for him..once I gotten
“That’s all…just say what I want?…that is your solutions?..”.(Choi Han Na)“Well…yes, Unnie…look, President Mies is a straight forward person…If he wanted something he said it..if not…he just didn’t…in these particular deals….President Mies were actually upsets..by the reactions of the authority….after all, Miss Hwa Young were put in danger these time..and also, there were a lot of victims in the incident..yet there were no satisfactory reactions at all….on these part I am sure you understand it better than I were…right?..”. (Choi Ji Soo)“Ehm…I understand that..”.(Choi Han Na)“for these matter…President Mies wanted to see that the crimes had to be brought to justice…and he could no longer see that matter possible in the current authority…all that he wanted is that…President Mies…don’t really want to get involved in these political stuff, more than he had too…as long as you can do that…bring the justice to those criminals…and kept you end of the bargain…he will do his part…..you have
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
