Lorenz stood in front of a large crowd and many cameras. The national flag was behind him, and everyone was waiting to hear what he had to say. He looked confident and ready."My fellow citizens," Lorenz began, his voice clear and strong. "Today, I have good news about our discussions with Mawuta. We have agreed on a deal that will benefit us all."He paused, looking around at the people and the cameras, making sure everyone was listening."We have agreed to trade our oil for Makuta's gold. We will start by paying them nineteen hundred dollars for each ounce of gold. This price will be for the first three months to show we are committed to this partnership."Lorenz smiled and continued, "This deal will bring more jobs and help our economy grow. We are building a future where Parkland thrives."People in the crowd started clapping, happy to hear the news. Lorenz nodded, thanking them for their support."Thank you for trusting in our decisions. Together, we are moving forward to a brigh
Dan walked out of the room quietly, noticing that the noise had reduced and there were no more footsteps. He began to move carefully, trying not to raise any alarm. As he walked, he almost made eye contact with a soldier who was scanning the area. Dan quickly bent down, breathing heavily, and tried to hide from the soldier. He moved while lying flat on the floor, using a short wall as cover. After taking a few steps, he found a door slightly open. He quietly slipped through it. Unknown to him, a soldier had already spotted him from afar. The soldier watched as Dan entered one door and came out through another, following him quietly without Dan knowing.Dan reached a balcony and saw a rope near some piled oil cans. He decided to use it to jump down. Just as he threw the rope down, a soldier appeared and said, "Hands up!" The soldier cocked his gun, ready to shoot if Dan disobeyed. Dan immediately raised his hands in surrender but still wanted to play smart.Dan grabbed the rope, which
Lorenz was becoming eviler, and his heart hardened to fulfil Grimnar's wish to gain power and influence over all the world's nations.While in his office, deep in his dark thoughts, he came up with an idea. He needed to frame Mawuta and make them commit a big crime against him. He called for one of his closest soldiers, who would do anything good or bad for him.Without wasting much time, there was a knock on the door. Lorenz already knew who it was and shouted, "Come in!" The door opened quietly, and the soldier walked in, closing the door with a soft click.The soldier walked close to Lorenz, saying, "You sent for me, sir."Lorenz smiled and responded, "Yes, have a seat. I have a lot to discuss with you." The soldier took his seat, wondering what Lorenz wanted to talk about. Lorenz glanced at the door to ensure they were alone and said, "I have an important message for you."The soldier leaned forward, listening intently. "What do you need me to do, sir?"Lorenz began, lowering his
The air hostess took the landline and began to speak, panicking and sending a message to the captain in the cockpit. "Captain, we have a serious situation in the bathroom. There's a man here, and he's been shot!."Immediately, the pilots set the plane on autopilot. Both of them ran to the bathroom. Surprised at the scene before them, some passengers stood up to check what had happened.A young lady with her little daughter also stood up to see what was happening. When the lady saw the dead body on the floor, she quickly covered her daughter's eyes. "Don't look, sweetie," she said, pulling her back to their seat.The pilots and the air hostess looked at each other, knowing they had to act fast. The plane was flying over the sea. "We need to get rid of the body," one pilot said.Without wasting time, they found an opening near the back of the plane. With a strong push, they tossed the body out of the plane and into the sea below.As the body disappeared into the waves, they closed the o
Joe searched for a quiet spot to call Lorenz. He looked around and dialled Lorenz's number, realising no One Was Nearby. The phone rang a few times before Lorenz picked up."R. President, thank goodness you picked up. I finally got the job, but I noticed something..."Joe paused, rechecking his surroundings to make sure no one was approaching. Seeing the clear coast, he continued," R. President, I realised these people were so nice to me. Do you have a hand in this?" He smiled as he asked.Lorenz laughed loudly, his voice echoing over the phone. "h, just a kid, Joe. You need to learn a lot."Lorenz laughed again and said, "Don't worry about that. Leave that to me. Just play along with them and be nice. Be a good boy.""h yes, Mr. President. I will surely be," Joe responded, smiling.LLorenz'svoice turned serious. "When the intestines strike, I'll let you know.""Always at your service, boss," Joe said as the call ended.Immediately, Joe received an alert on his phone. Lorenz had sent
"Load those sacks well, and make sure they are well-tied! I won't condone any mistakes from anyone!" Joe shouted authoritatively, ordering the workers in his unit to carry the sacks into the heavy-duty truck. The truck was set to transport the gold to the ship that would take it to Parkland.The workers were picking up the sacks roughly, and Joe struggled to monitor them. They moved haphazardly, causing him frustration. "Okay, you know what, everyone, form a queue now! I don't want to see anyone picking gold without being in this queue!" he commanded. The workers immediately obeyed and formed a line.One by one, they came forward and picked up gold sacks. When a worker picked a sack that seemed too light, Joe called him back. You can do better than that. Drop that and take this one," Joe said, handing him a heavier sack. The worker, without hesitation, picked it up and carried it on his arm, making Joe wonder why he hadn't picked it up at first.The queue was moving steadily, and the
The ship from Mawa and the ship from Parkland always agreed to meet at Port Mirath. After two days of sailing, Captain Henry finally reached the port, arriving early before the boat from Parkland. The crew members on the Mawuta ship waited patiently.Finally, after much waiting, the crew members and Captain Henry heard the ship's horn from Parkland and rejoiced greatly. They all clapped loudly, their claps echoing over the sea waves.Captain Morgan from Parkland got off his ship and met Captain Henry. They had become good friends since the trade began. They smiled and hugged each other tightly as they watched the cargo being exchanged."Hey, don't let that fall over!" Morgan screamed as he saw one of Mawuta's workers roughly handling the oil barrels. He turned to Henry. "This is clean gold, and it's so shiny.""Oh yeah, we produce nothing but quality," Henry responded.Morgan asked, taking out a note and pen, "So how many sacks?"Henry replied, "Those are 200,000 sacks of gold, more t

He was the best president Mawuta had ever had, and his tenure was promising.When the day came, Fischer took to the press to make a big announcement. People listened attentively as he appeared on the screens in homes and on the streets, knowing he always brought good news.Fischer began, clearing his throat."Seeing the present growth of the economy," Fischer started, "I, President Fischer, have always wanted this growth from the start. We can see that the economy is not the same as it has been for years. So, to celebrate this developing economy, I, President Fischer, declare a work-free day! It's a day to party!"The whole country erupted in joy upon hearing that. Wherever people were, they shouted in celebration.A popcorn vendor was about to hand a hot bag of popcorn to a customer.
