Martin soon left with Griggs and Abel. He still had to go to other places to conduct this "fundraising" ceremony. It was unknown if they had gone to see Mr. Jobav. In many people's eyes, he was still a prominent Empire immigrant in Golden Port. "I don't quite understand, Lance." Elvin, in the room, was a bit confused. "What's the point of us giving them money?" "I mean... how can we be sure that this money will bring us a return?" "And what's the benefit for us in doing this?" Lance…-

"He's... losing a lot of money by doing this." Hunter and Charlie sat together, holding a simple explanatory document about the "Umbrella Plan." It had been sent back by their men in the Empire District Sub-bureau. They weren't exactly moles, just people on their side. After all, Charlie was ultimately part of the "Golden Port establishment," backed by the Bay Area. There would always be some people who wanted to leapfrog ahead, and there was nothing wrong with them siding with him. Looking at…

The pouring rain continued. The two bruised and battered teenagers leaned against the wall of the relief home, licking their wounds like injured beasts. “Arno, are you okay?” Ollie approached softly and asked timidly. “I’m fine! I’m strong! Ahh!” Arno accidentally pulled at a wound and cried out in pain. “I’ll be fine tomorrow. I, Arno, promised Old Man Johnson that I would definitely protect Ollie!” “Mhm!” Ollie’s timid expression disappeared, and she replied with a…-

This was a profoundly miraculous life experience, indescribable in language. If one were forced to make an analogy, it was like a single-celled organism being unable to imagine the existence of a multi-celled organism. From this moment, Ace’s life state utterly changed, evolving from a singular life form into a collective life form. Although there were many drawbacks, such as the mirror image being unable to exist independently; it must be subordinate to the host. If the host dies, the mirror…

As the Meuse River Battle Group began its all-out offensive, Barchon, Évregnies, Fléron—fortress after fortress, once believed to require heavy artillery to breach, were effortlessly occupied by Saxon soldiers. When the officers of the follow-up troops walked into the interior of these deserted forts, they were invariably shocked by the sight before them. The facilities inside the forts were intact. Warehouses were stacked with ammunition and supplies, and uneaten dinners were even still sitting…-

Meanwhile, on the perimeter of the Liège Fortress cluster. Ludendorff, who was personally taking command in the staging area where the Instruction Assault Battalion was waiting to attack, also felt the fierce tremor coming from the ground. The staff officers around him all showed surprised expressions. “Was that an earthquake?” “Doesn't seem like it. That tremor... feels like it came from the center of Liège City.” Ludendorff did not speak. He simply pulled out his pocket watch and…

The Magic Power Hub is a solid, half-buried underground structure located near the main building. This is the source of all the Magic Guided Device energy for the entire Liège Fortress cluster. Even the Magic Crystal Cannons in the various forts require the Magic Power Hub to recharge their replaced Magic Crystals. Therefore, once it is destroyed, the Large Anti-Air Magic Guided Device that threatens the Armored Airships, as well as the Magic Crystal Cannons in the various forts, will become scrap…

The crescent moon hung like a hook. The brilliant moonlight streamed into the main hall. Looking at the wolf-like Great Yu Empire soldiers and Hwang Ja-man standing in the middle, Kim Hyun-sung laughed madly. "My Lord Right State Councilor, this has nothing to do with us! This was all forced upon us by Kim Hyun-sung! Please investigate clearly!" The nobles, hearing this, all knelt down and frantically kowtowed to Hwang Ja-man. "Whether it has anything to do with it is not for me to say.…-

"What!" In the Left State Councilor's office in Ryukyo City, Kim Hyun-sung stood up in shock. "You said the Great Yu Empire army acted?" "My Lord State Councilor, yes, they were too ruthless. We just threw some stones, and they opened fire with guns and cannons. Hundreds died. Now everyone has scattered." The young man kneeling before Kim Hyun-sung was covered in blood. His arm was injured and bleeding continuously. "The poisoner hasn't returned. Our men saw him caught red-handed by Hwang…

The matter of the police collecting money didn't originally start with the police actively collecting it, but with the operators actively giving it. The rate of gang turnover was too fast. So much so that you could pay a protection fee in the morning, and by the afternoon, that gang would be finished. Then the new gang that took over would demand that all the shops in the area pay again. No one could withstand such a hassle. In an era when the police could still stop evil, people could only place…
