Never in my life that I found harder to cross an airport other than the immigrations process. Just after the terminal entrance, the crowd were like sea’s, shouting and chanting me and Hwa Young names. Although the loudest chant was more of my name, which even shocked Hwang Hwa Young, For the reporter, they were like an hungry sharks, pouncing at me with their mike, questions after question were thrown at me and Hwang Hwa Young. Luckily my bodyguards troop along with the police were able to provide a safe pass for us to leave the airport fast.
“Mies…for sure they will retaliate about this..”. (Catherine)After the press conference ended, I immediately hold a meeting at my office at the top floor of Virtue Financial HQ, all that attending were the top branch of Virtue, Chairwoman Catherine, CEO Ran Hyun Ok, the timid Kim Dae Hwan the lawyer and Sharon Jackson Virtue Biotechnology CEO. Since I have officially
My new inventions, which I just pulled out of my pockets is something that I called Universal Antidote. Which is also know as antidote potion that I just brought from Fantasma, just like a healing potions, antidote potion do have tiers to categorize them, antidote potion can cure any type of poisoning, whether it’s the small poisoning all the way up to the nuclear radiations, that of course only the high tier antidote potion can cure much more complicated poisoning. Antidote potions that I brought from Fantasma is a little bit broken, in Fantasma, there’s various kind of poison and poisoning conditions which are even much more worse than any poison in Earth, there’s even a poison in Fantasma that can zombified it’s victims in a matter of seconds, and with the usage of mid
Just like what I have deduced, The US government took actions. The whole incident started from a small protest, on the government for the incident of the robbery. At first it was supporting me about my personal actions of saving the hostages and exposing the corruptions then brought the truths out. At first it was just that, but after just 2 days, the protest picks up, media started to focus on it, social media goes viral for protesting with the movement that support me and Virtue. Then on day 3 a whole another level situations took place, the suppression of the protester and the news suppression took place. Certainly the government has took actions and they have started to focus attacking Virtue Financial, several hours later, another wave of protester comes out but this time it was aimed after
US Government, CIA headquarters.The retaliations and the actions of Virtue Financial and it’s owner Mies Sai of pulling of the US market has deeply impacted several important project and cases all over the US economical market, although it seems that most of the effected were private owned business, but still the government does effected because of it. The VH-Serum dealing was supposed to be finished out by this years. VH-Serum was already consider a high value important
While the US Government were still cracking their head trying to figure out Virtue, another piece of bad news comes to their desk, Chairwoman of Virtue Operation Catherine Kent were seen meeting with dozen of countries world leader, outside of the world summit meeting. From the informations that were collected, apparently Catherine Kent were one of the attendee, but as soon as the meetings ended about 10 world leaders come forwards to meet her in the public, which then followed by another 9, leaving only the US president and representative left out.
Meanwhile at the CIA secret base in New York, O’Malley who have discovered Mies Sai/ Virtue President old military serving files were still reading the content to the best that she can, all the files were mostly filled with black censored, redacted to the point that only a few words were available for reading.“These guy is definitely not normal…I have never seen such
While Catherine and the others were getting busy with their own tasked. I, on the other hand were visiting Hwang Hwa Young at the hospital, since she was finally getting discharged, I wanted to send her home before I handle my business.“You really act that way against an entire government?..”. (Hwang Hwa Young)
As soon as I landed at the private airstrip on the edge of Panama city, I was quickly startled at the views before me. The entire local Airport were actually owned by my company, what even more shocking is, T.A.S told me, for the whole day, every flight that were bound to land here has been re-direct to the nearby airport. Not only that, the entire airport were filled with armed forces, but when I observed them carefully, on each of their gears there was a Half Wing and a full circle, which is the logo of my company Virtue.
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
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
