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
The second I got the call from Minister Choi Han Na, and got the answer that I wanted, finally I can rest easy. I know from now on, my plans will no longer be as hard as it would be now. Everything will go as planned from now on and I will make sure that it happen just the way I wanted it to be. I supposed it was time for me to use my experience that I once use quite often, Still the feeling about all this were good to me. When this is all over, then I can finally sure that Korea is a safe place for Virtue Financial to develop in.“Is that Minister Choi Han Na?..”. (Park Zuo Yung)We are currently inside of my car, we were heading back to the hospital, since today will be the last day that I will be hospitalized, after all, I had to play the part.“..Yeah, that is she just now…I got the positive response that I wanted…it’s time to start the plans that we have in store..by the way, is Catherine still at the Hospital now?..”.“No she isn’t…after we left, she and the others left back to
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternum’s growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexist—that magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
Madeline, another single mother, found herself equally overwhelmed—but for an entirely different reason. Back in the Empire, food was a luxury.If you were lucky, you had stale bread, old vegetables, or a tiny scrap of meat to share with your family. Shopping for food was never a choice—you simply took whatever was available and prayed that it would last.But in Aeternum’s markets, things were completely different.One afternoon, she stood frozen in the middle of a supermarket aisle, staring at the endless rows of fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and even exotic spices from other parts of the world.She could hardly comprehend what she was looking at.It wasn’t just that there was food available—it was the sheer abundance of it. She felt anxious. Lost. Uncertain.She turned to the store worker nearby, a cheerful young woman dressed in the green uniform of Haven Mart, the government-affiliated grocery chain."How… how do I know what to pick?" Madeline asked hesitantly.The
Beyond just housing, Project Haven was an ecosystem of opportunity.Officer Calloway continued explaining the many opportunities available to the refugees:Public schools were being built for their children, where education was free for all—boys and girls alike. Aeternum-funded hospitals offered medical care without cost, something unheard of in the Empire. Job training programs had already started, helping former farmers, craftsmen, and even soldiers find new roles in society.And, most importantly—There were no nobles.No ruling elite to oppress them.No forced conscription, no tax collectors stripping them of their hard-earned food, no death sentences for speaking against a ruler.For the first time in history, these people were citizens, not subjects.As the tour ended, Calloway clapped his hands together and smiled."Any questions?" he asked.The refugees remained silent, overwhelmed.Mara stepped forward, her heart pounding."How can we repay this kindness?" she asked.Calloway
The rolling plains of Alemia Region had once been battle-scarred and ruined by civil war. The lands, once soaked in despair and ruled by corrupt nobles, now thrived under Aeternum’s governance. The change was nothing short of miraculous.And at the center of this transformation was Project Haven—Aeternum’s most ambitious infrastructure project yet.Stretching over hundreds of kilometers, Project Haven was designed to house, rehabilitate, and integrate the 500,000 refugees who had fled from the oppressive grasp of the Battle Star Empire.What was once empty land was now a vast construction site, bustling with workers, engineers, and military personnel overseeing the rapid urban expansion. Tower cranes reached toward the sky, steel beams framed new residential buildings, and hundreds of machines worked tirelessly to create a city unlike any other in the world.This was Project Haven—Aeternum’s gift to those seeking a second chance.Among the many refugees was Mara Elise, a former citize
