"This is..." "Is that so?" "Okay, no problem, who else?" "Alright, I'll be there on time!" After hanging up the phone, a gentleman frowned and leaned forward, one arm supporting his chin on the edge of the desk, turning his head to look at the gloomy sky outside the window. It had been snowing for the past few days, but it was as if it couldn't snow cleanly. It would snow for a while, then stop, then snow for a while, then stop. It couldn't just dump all the snow at once, it was always an…-

After Joshua hung up the phone, he pursed his lips. He knew all too well what these people were thinking. They were using him as a handy tool to get rid of the Lance Family, and then they would toss him into the trash heap! The ruling class in every region thought and acted this way, because it was so effective. Using gangs to govern the lower class of society, using gangs to govern gangs, was the basic policy promoted by the federal government. So even though the gangs were rampant enough to…

Fei's Mansion. Fei Ji was a little incredulous as he listened to the news brought by his butler. "You said Ge Yiren was taken away by the secret guards?" "Absolutely true. This Ge Yiren is a cabinet minister. If something happened to him, no one can hide it. The news is already spreading in Qingzhou City." The butler said with a sigh of wonder. Fei Ji felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He had been in officialdom for so long and had experienced all kinds of storms. This news made him…-

Hu Hao stood before the map, analyzing the current situation with the staff officers, Bai Ye, and the other commanders. The men listened with furrowed brows. Previously, they had all declared they would rather die than retreat. But after hearing Hu Hao's analysis, they realized things weren't that simple! "Hao-ge, is the situation truly that dire?" Xiao Quan asked. "Hao-ge, we really don't want to retreat anymore! If we retreat again, who knows where we'll end up, or when we'll finally be able to…-

Hu Hao was both shocked and infuriated upon receiving Jiang Kai's call ordering his troops to prepare to retreat. Another 400-kilometer retreat! To Hu Hao, this was an absolute disgrace. His forces had annihilated four Allied corps here, and the Southwest Combat Zone forces had fought exceptionally well. Although they hadn't completely wiped out the Allied forces facing them, they had inflicted catastrophic casualties upon the attackers. Therefore, if the flanks hadn't crumbled, the Southwest Combat…

After returning home, Mr. Hoff sat in his chair. He casually opened his cigarette case, which contained cigarettes, cigars, and a few boxes of pipe tobacco. It was all fine tobacco. Just this one cigarette case, and the value of its contents might be equivalent to the combined income of an ordinary family for several years without eating or drinking. Perhaps even more. Usually, when he was alone, he liked to pair whiskey with a cigar. The aroma and alcohol of the whiskey could wash away some of…

Ge's Mansion. Ge Yiren looked as if he had aged ten years. Not long after Gao Yuan left, a group of people wearing black long gowns with golden long swords embroidered on their chests broke in. The moment he saw these people, Ge Yiren understood that his power was gone, because the clothes these people wore were the standard attire of the secret guards. And the golden long swords on their chests proved that they were the elite of the secret guards, the Imperial Secret Guards. The ministers in the…

"Sir, confirmed 20 killed, no survivors." A combat engineer walked up to Morin and handed over a handful of blood-stained ID documents: "They're all from the Coldstream Guards. These guys were tough; no one surrendered until the very end." Morin took the IDs and casually flipped through them. They were all sergeants and privates; not a single officer was among them. It seemed the commander of this task force company had indeed taken the rest of the men and fled deep into the research…-

As they continuously went deeper, the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by some invisible monster, becoming darker and darker. The dim magitech lamps on the walls originally seemed to start striking in large areas at this section due to insufficient energy supply, leaving only a few scattered ones still lingering, emitting faint light. Morin stopped his steps, holding the double-barreled shotgun in one hand, freeing up the other to grope around in the small multi-purpose pouch on his chest rig…
