“See…she would definitely get shot…it’s just a simple maths of basic human nature…That’s why, Dae Jung-Ssi…when you were choosing between 2 evil…the first rule is, when you made a deal, make sure that you come out alive, make sure that you always got both of the evil on a noose…which ever acted out first..kill them…or much simpler, just don’t chose one evil over another…”.
Me and Bang Dae Jung were watching and observing the entire interactions betweens Sung Jang Ko and Park Zuo Yung. Naturally we were actually closer than any of them can actually figured out, we are actually just like 2 dudes hanging out in our car. On contrary to me, Bang Dae Jung were actually quite angry when he saw a scene of betrayal were happening right before his eyes. But for me, this scene has already panned out from the beginning, We already knew that Par Zuo Yung will leaked the Virtue Medical files
“..I..I..<COUGH!!>..I..I’m sorry..s..sir…<Cough!>..I..didn’t mean to har..harm..anyone…I..<Cough!>…I..I..just want my life..b..back…<Huff!>..”. (Park Zuo Yung)Park Zuo Yung were slowly getting out of breath, every time she tries to speak, it was as if she were squeezing her last breath out, she coughing bloods as she speaks and her eye lids were getting heavy by the seconds. She was bleeding out, and her 2 hands can’t blocked the 2 gun shot that drill holes onto her stomach and chest. In the end she just let them flows and already giving up, people were usually honest when they were nearing their end, and for people with good heart and personality like her that is completely true, I can confirmed this is the truth as I wasn’t completely new to this.“Even if you didn’t mean it..you have indeed has cause harm to me… and my company&helli
“[Breaking news…Yesterday, at 9:00 pm..A shocking incident has took place at the L shopping Mall, as a man were seen carrying a woman in his arm, covered in blood..both of them were covered in blood, as both of them were seen running from the L Shopping Mall parking lot..through the inside of the Shopping mall and onto the main road…Both of them, were then seen to entered a black SUV…later the same men and woman that were covered in blood, were once again spotted to entered Haneul University Hospital..]”. (News Anchor)The breaking news right on the 10 am news, is something that shocked everyone that sees it, those that were just waking up and for those who were on their phones find them self clicking on the various article that covers the same news. Which then later also happened to stumble upon the countless of online videos and short clip, that show a man carrying an unconscious woman, both of them were covered in blood.
On the other side of all this fiasco, South Korean Government went haywire. Minister of Intelligence, Kang Min Ho were furious over what had transpired last nigh, the plan that he has been brewing for 6 months has goes down into a drain in just a few hours. Kang Min Ho just like any other Ministers in South Korea, or even the other Ministers belonged to various government in the world naturally were tasked to collect as much informations concerning Virtue Financial.But no matter what they have done, what method they do, there’s very little that they can find about this company. No one has ever managed to get into their higher ranks, nobody has ever manage to get any crucial informations, and nobody has ever managed to figure out any of their plans, that is how solid and secretive Virtue Financial were. When it comes to Virtue Financial, everyone were on the same starting positions and until now there is no one can get ahead. Even the US government, cant f
The second day of the Annual meeting went off and ended with no interruptions at all, despite the chaotic scene that spans around me and Park Zuo Yung, the ramblings of conspiracy theories the has been going non-stop all over the world. None of it’s ever stop or even bothers me, though there were a lot of my employee were worried about the whole fiasco. As for me, I don’t really cared much, and the Inner Circle also were doing the same thing.“Umm…Sir..shouldn’t we be worried about the attack on Miss Park Zuo Yung?…Maybe something like that would happened to…you know..most of us..”. (Ma Fu Sheng)“...Hmm?…Do you have secret that can make you billions of dollar that everyone single person in the world want to have?…”.“...Uhhh…no…”. (Ma Fu Sheng)“..Then, why the heck are you worried for?&helli
“That’s means every single member has their own stamp..that was easy to understand…”. (Choi Jin Su)“Of course…but, be careful of the Black skull Stamp…the stamps only got a simple meaning…don’t touch..and don’t bother to looked at them…because, that is President Mies work…no one can touched the company with Black Skull stamp…not even Chairwoman and definitely not the inner circle..no matter what they do, don’t bother with them..instead treated them nicely..”. (Ran Hyun Ok)“Hmm?…Why?…”. (Choi Jin Su)The concept of different mark and stamp, is clearly a clear sign of different factions. Certainly there should be a rivalry and conflicted between those different mark.“Why?…oh, I got what you were thinking..rivalry right?…well actually rivalry does exist..but o
“Sir…everything is ready…the entire warehouse is already filled with everything that you have ordered…but on the topic of that books that you ordered….is it enough?..there were still room for more..I think…”. (Bang Dae Jung)“...I supposed so…hmmm…then I would be buying that myself when I go to Seoul this afternoon…So…how’s Park Zuo Yung?..she up yet?..”.As of now, I already back on my Mansion island. Since I got back from US, it has been 2 weeks already and all the things that I ordered, has already arrived and has already being arranged neatly by Bang Dae Jung and my mansion staff. Right now, the Warehouse area has been gone through a big overhaul upgrade, there’s 5 large air planes hanger sized warehouse on the front, but on it’s backyard, it was an opened area of 300 meter wide, squared with a perimeter
“[[Madam Chairwoman…I am Kennedy John From the GNN…First of all, it was trully great to hear that both of the Victims were doing great and recovering…But, Aren’t your details concerning to the weapons that were used a little bit too detailed?…Nowadays, a made up incident is something that we sees often…and with such details…the rumours that all this were a planned drama…seems to be a little bit tangible…do you have any comment on that?…]]”. (Kennedy John)Every single person in the room look at him with mixed expression, and hostility from the security teams, disbelieve from the front panels and the majority of the reporters, but quite a number of the reporters also quite relief that he were the one that asked this and not them.“[[…Mr.Kennedy…First of all..I am appalled that you think and have a though
“[[..Up Until now, There’s has yet any official investigations that has been launch or performed by any law enforcement in this country regarding this attack…Not a single person contacted us nor even approached me, Mr.President, Miss Park Zuo Yung nor even any of Virtue Financial Legal teams…The police that comes with Mr.Bang Dae Jung to retrieved the assailant corpse were in fact fetch by Mr.Bang Dae Jung and his team!!…]]”. (Catherine )The shows still goes on, Catherine has recovered from her moment of blunders and now speaking with her eyes glistening with tears.“[[ On our own, with the hard work from our Legal team…we had found various evidence that this case…is far larger than a simple assassinations attempts on Miss Park Zuo Yung nor even a simple accidents…We believe that Miss Park Zuo Yung has become a victims of blackmails and
“That settles it,” said Queen Inariel. “I want one. No—two. One for me, and one for my heir.”There was laughter, yes—but beneath it, genuine interest and burning ambition.These weren’t simply rulers indulging in luxury. They were leaders who understood symbols. In their home countries, where roads were still dirt and carts still squeaked over stone, returning in a Presidential SUV would not merely signify alliance—it would inspire transformation. A visual cue to their people that change had come.Brogath turned to Cassana. “And how do we acquire these… symbols?”Cassana smiled. “Each vehicle is available through our UNA Government Procurement Program. With subsidies for infrastructure partners. If your country commits to hosting an AAM-supported maintenance center, we offer reduced fleet prices.”Prince Thelric’s eyes lit up. “So, we wouldn’t just buy cars. We could build an AAM branch?”“Exactly,” said Cassana. “It’s part of Aeternum’s development outreach.”The implications were e
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“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
