War is not a place for people with soft hearts."Let’s think from the opposite view," Alex said, turning on another simulation about the water poisoning that spread through the West Empire. "Aslan worked with Gavin to poison all the drinking water from the Clean Water company.""Do you know how many people got poisoned?" Alex asked, turning on the television. The news continued to report on the patients, the count of those affected rising steadily. It had already reached 20 million people from all over the West Empire."Can you imagine 20 million people contaminated with the poison, and all of them having about a 90% chance of death?" Alex looked at Ava, his eyes narrowing. "If you think 400 thousand people dead is cruel, what about this tactic killing 20 million people?"Eva stared at Alex, her eyes welling up with tears. "Please tell me why the Empire let this happen. Is it because we are Western Empire citizens? So the Empire let Aslan's people poison us?""First, people need to k
Benito Kosh was desperately scanning for the source of the attack on their aircraft. “Where are all these attacks coming from?” he shouted, his voice tinged with frustration and fear.He had already warned his crew to be vigilant, urging them to check every possible direction. They had even checked above the sky and around, leaving no stone unturned. The radar was operating at full capacity, driven by his instincts.“They’re from below!” a staff member yelled.Benito’s heart sank. He knew that if the attacks were coming from below, it would be harder to detect them on radar, especially if the objects were small and using the terrain’s contours to their advantage.“They’re using ground missiles,” Benito realized. “Tell everyone to ascend to a higher altitude, where the missiles can’t reach!”But as the aircraft began to climb, a suicide drone carrying an explosive payload followed closely behind. It struck with precision, destroying their engines and causing one aircraft after another
The skies were filled with the hum of engines, a fearsome display of the Empire's strength. As they crossed into Aslan territory, they encountered no resistance. The Aslan forces, having thrown everything they had into the failed attack on the Empire, had left their homeland nearly defenseless.Christopher led the fleet straight to the Aslan capital, moving swiftly through the skies without facing a single threat.Meanwhile, in the Aslan palace, chaos reigned. The king and his ministers were locked in a heated argument, desperation clear in their voices.“You said we could win, but now all our soldiers are dead!” the king shouted, his face flushed with anger as he glared at his ministers.“We don’t know how the Empire discovered our plan,” one minister stammered, his eyes darting nervously. “There must be a double agent in our ranks!”“Now, 6,000 Empire aircraft have already crossed our border. What can we do?” another minister cried out, his voice filled with panic.“Tell the soldier
Five minutes before the Aslan spaceship was destroyed, Peter Gavin received a critical command from Benito Kosh. “We will spread in five minutes to all cities of the West Empire,” Benito instructed. “Activate all the rebellions and hold off the Empire's soldiers from attacking us. We will free you and let Drakonia have its freedom again, with you as the president.”Peter quickly cut the connection and immediately gathered his allies across the West Empire. The Gavin Corporation, which Peter led, had long been a part of the rebellion.“It is time for the truth,” Peter Gavin announced on the media channels under their control to entire west Empire citizens. His voice was firm, carrying the weight of the impending battle. “The Empire is trying to kill all of us. We have just received information that the Empire plans to commit genocide, to wipe out the Drakonian people. It is time for us to fight back. If we do not act now, all of us will be killed!”Peter Gavin, the head of one of the l
Alex was sitting on the sofa, watching the news, while Ava and Eva were also seated beside him, their eyes glued to the screen."Alex," she called out, her voice tense. "Has the military already taken down the Aslan aircraft or not? Why hasn’t the Empire released the footage?""Why do you think?" Alex stared back at Ava, believing she would understand his hint.But to his surprise, it was Eva who answered correctly. "The Empire is manipulating the citizens' minds. First, they let Peter control the people to rebel, only to find the truth he was lying to them. Then, the empire purposely released the control media to have Peter speak about the Aslan aircraft, causing the citizens' minds to waver once again."“And what do you think will happen when the people of the Western Empire find out that the Aslan aircraft were already destroyed? They’ll hate themselves for trusting Peter Gavin twice. The Empire is betting that the citizens won’t be foolish enough to believe in Peter or any traitor
"I have something to do," Alex said as he stood up and walked out."Who's going to protect us?" Eva asked, her voice tinged with worry."As long as you don’t walk out from the penthouse, the bodyguards will guard you," Alex replied, having already arranged for military personnel to secure the building."Where are you going?" Ava asked, her curiosity piqued."Somewhere important." With that, Alex headed to the rooftop of the penthouse, where his personal aircraft was already waiting. He had prepared it for emergencies, never realizing he would need it to save Crystal Gavin."That woman," Alex sighed as he piloted the aircraft into the sky. Crystal was unique to Alex—naïve, down to the earth, and kind, a stark contrast to his high ambitions and relentless drive. Her presence grounded him, tethering him to the earth.At the Gavin Mansion.An angry mob was gathering, their fury palpable as they tried to break through the iron gate."Kill all the Gavin family!" one shouted."They poisoned
In the West Empire, the military filled the airwaves with an urgent announcement."No citizen is allowed to riot or to harm Gavin or anyone else. If you destroy anything, you will have to pay! From now on, martial law is in effect across the entire West Empire. You need to be at home, and you are not allowed to start a riot!" The military general's voice was stern, echoing through every speaker."Aslan spies are already trying to incite chaos and flee the country. We will shoot anyone who dares to riot. Remember, we shoot first and ask questions later! If you don’t want to get shot, return to your place. The Police and military will capture Gavin and the Aslan agents. All you need to do is stay at home and don’t bring any weapons with you. Again, I’m saying, we shoot first and ask later. I hope you’re not dead yet when it happens!"Under the ruins, Alex forcefully opened the hatch of his small aircraft, realizing he was in serious trouble. Hastily, he grabbed his guns, ready for the i
Alex prepares a simple dish for Crystal, the aroma of warm spices filling the cozy kitchen. The sound of sizzling vegetables is the only noise until they both sit down to eat and turn on the television. The news flashes on the screen, and a stern reporter’s voice fills the room.“Colonel Kevin attempted to escape with twenty of his soldiers on an aircraft, but the military intercepted and shot down the plane, resulting in a fatal crash in the mountainous area.” The screen displays dramatic footage of the aircraft being struck by two missiles, plummeting towards the rugged terrain below, a fiery explosion marking the end.Crystal's hand freezes mid-air, her fork hovering over her plate as the next segment comes on. “Lily White, Jasmine White, and Rosemary White, owners of Clean Water Company, have been arrested. Authorities reveal their connection with Colonel Kevin and the Gavin family.” The screen cuts to the three women, handcuffed, being pushed into police cars, their faces pale un
