It’s like someone pulled the kill switch from inside the Consortium.” Rachel frowned. “Or someone finally realized… trying to silence her just makes her louder.” After the thunderous end to the speech, Sophie was ushered into a smaller press chamber. Cameras from Al-Jazeera, Global Net, PulseWire, and Rising World lined the back wall. The moderator looked nervous. “Ms. Burnett, many governments are calling your manifesto dangerously idealistic. Thoughts?” Sophie smiled, tired but fierce. “They should stop fearing ideas and start fearing apathy. You don’t need to believe in Phoenix. But I suggest you believe in the cost of not

Everyone wanted what you had. As I lathered my body with the shower gel once more, thoughts raced through my mind about how to tackle this problem. There were multiple reasons I desperately needed to get rid of them. Firstly, it posed a significant danger, and secondly, far more important, it had a detrimental impact on my business. How could anyone trust or rely on me if they could easily eliminate them with a single shot, without needing to put up a fight? Who would hire me, buy from me, fear me if they could be a coward and just shoot them?

Shit, I probably needed to do something about that too, if I wanted her safe on the road… “She’s different,” I confessed, smiling a little when I remembered how she’d hugged me earlier. Sure, I was built like a tank, but that’s not what had resulted in my tag name. After getting shot at close range, and the bullet just bouncing off, the men were convinced that I must be made of steel. It wasn’t until they saw me bleed that I finally convinced them that kryptonite wasn’t my weakness…

Instead, we were becoming referenced. Cited. Debated. Measured. That wasn’t safety. But it was influence that didn’t belong to one hand. And as the night settled, one thing was certain: The fight had moved past us. Now it was about the idea. And ideas once loose were much harder to put back in the dark.

It's not about how hard you can hit; it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward... Jane tried to focus on listening to his explanation, The fundamental cause of the problems in today's world is that stupid people are stupid people are overconfident and smart people are full of doubts, right ?! luckily she wasn't that kind of second self as she chewed on the inside of her cheek looking him moving around. Gary was putting on his mask again in the middle of it Jane answered his finished explanation

No matter how long you know each other. Maybe, this is how the world really works. So, the only armour I need to wear is being caution. There are so many possibilities, I'm afraid that one day... The person I really trust that most is the one who stab me to my back. Well, thus anyone thinks that I'm foolish enough to be decieve? I'm not became a successful CEO and billionaire for no reason. I'm a head to the top. I'm not easy peachy person. I remember what Athena did, when I conducted a meeting yesterday. I make it really intense just to make all of them petrified to my will of conviction. I want to be happy.

And then I saw him. Lorenzo. He stood at the back of the crowd, a ghost in a thousand-dollar suit. It hung off his frame, and his eyes were hollowed-out pits of desperation. I felt nothing. He looked like a stranger. Was this man really once the center of my universe? Now he was just a pathetic, broken man. I looked away and continued with the press interviews. "Miss Rossi, what was the inspiration for this collection?" "Rebirth," I said, my smile genuine. "It's about having the courage to burn your old life to the ground so a new one can rise from the ashes."

“W-well….because….” “Well. Because. You don’t know how this works” she said bluntly. “You need the training for your own good…” “What I do is more efficient than your bullets and fists. Anyone can wear a bulletproof vest and have bulletproof windows. People survive from gunshot wounds and it takes a lot of time to beat someone to death” he laid all his arguments on the table.

“You know everybody thinks their ideas are right. That's why the people you call terrorists call themselves freedom fighters. The fundamentalists think they are right, the capitalist think they are right, the communist think they are right, even Jace Norman thinks he's right. And no one will ever convince anyone of anything. And all these honourable men, lecturing the world from the floors of congresses and parliaments. Whose time has long since passed, refuse to admit, publicly at least, ideas don't determine who's right. Power determines who's right.
