“Camden Murphy, what do you think you’re doing? This is the Central Council—how can you silence others?”“And how many times have I told you? When we’re at work, don’t call me ‘Father.’ Address me by my title.”Vincent Murphy rebuked him sharply.“Yes, Father—”“No—Mr. Roberts.”Camden Murphy caught himself mid-sentence, corrected awkwardly, and shot Terence Roberts a venomous glare.“Someone escort Mr. Terence Roberts outside. Let him cool his head.”Vincent Murphy said, looking directly at Terence Roberts.Several men immediately stepped forward, seized Terence Roberts, and began dragging him out.“Vincent Murphy, you traitor! You persecute the loyal and betray the nation—you won’t die a peaceful death! You’ll be nailed to history’s pillar of shame and cursed for generations—!”Even as he was hauled away, Terence Roberts continued to shout.Vincent Murphy merely closed his eyes, remaining silent.“Gentlemen, this meeting is meant to find a way to stabilize the situation—not to liste

“The doctor says it’s nothing serious—just exhaustion.”“But these past few days, I can’t shake the feeling that her mental state isn’t quite right.”“You’re the real expert in this field. If you have the time, please drop by and take a look.”“She’s always so busy—everything in this household, big or small, falls on her shoulders. She never spares a thought for her own health. As her grandfather, I can’t help but worry.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke as he walked, his voice tinged with concern.“All right. I’ll go check on her when I have the time.”Joseph gave a slight nod as he replied.“Then I won’t keep you any longer. I should be heading back.”“Now that I’ve taken on responsibilities again, there’s more than just the family business to handle.”“At my age, I still hope I can be of some help to you.”Old Mr. Cooper came to a stop, smiling faintly.“Take care of yourself as well, sir.”Joseph inclined his head.“Oh, don’t you worry about me. I’m in excellent health—I don’t plan on dying a

“Most people aren’t buying it. Anyone with eyes can see something’s off.”“As things stand, the more the Central Council tries to deny it, the more they’re only hurting themselves.”“The additional footage we hold clearly shows they’re dismantling the nation’s most advanced weapons.”“With our video evidence, combined with the copy of the Peace Dove Project in your possession, we can ignite public opinion completely—without a doubt,” Neil Foster said with firm conviction.“Good. Over the next few days, we’ll act according to how things unfold,” Joseph nodded.“Young master, there’s another important piece of news,” Brian Adams added, his expression grave.“What is it?” Joseph asked.“Old Neil, you explain—you’ll make it clearer,” Brian said, turning to him.“Young master, according to intelligence gathered both from our side and the Southern Frontier, Dreadmoor’s forces are quietly mobilizing.”“Their assembly point is toward our eastern coastline, on the western flank of the Dreadmoo

“We still need to remain here for a while to handle a few matters. If you’re not in a hurry to return, young master, you could stay as well,” Neil Foster replied.“I won’t be staying. I’ll head back to the city now and return to Nova City this afternoon,” Joseph said, shaking his head slightly.“In that case, we won’t see you off,” Neil Foster and Brian Adams exchanged a glance.“Go ahead and handle your work—don’t worry about me.”“I’ll be on my way as well.”With that, Joseph wheeled out his bicycle, bid them farewell, and rode off.Before long, his figure faded into the morning mist.“Let’s finish up here and head back to Nova City as well.”“It’s better if we’re there to keep watch,” Brian Adams said.“Agreed,” Neil Foster nodded, turning back inside, with Brian Adams following close behind.After leaving the Good Fortune Farmhouse, Joseph made his way toward the city.By the time he returned to the hotel, daylight had fully broken.He washed up briefly, had a quick meal, and went

“If such a day truly comes, we will act according to circumstances.”“But no matter what, as long as we wait, the opportunity will present itself.”“This time, in coming here, I also hope to establish some concrete forms of cooperation with all of you.”Joseph gave a slight nod before addressing the group.“Whatever ideas you have, young general, please speak freely,” they replied in unison.“The senior scientists from the Academy have long sought to preserve the work of their lifetimes. Through Nova University, they intend to safeguard their theoretical research.”“In the time ahead, more and more of them will come to Nova City—to Nova University.”“What they bring with them will be the theoretical foundations and manufacturing methods of advanced weaponry. If these can be utilized by the Southern Frontier forces, the benefits would be immense.”Joseph rose to his feet, his tone steady.The others nodded in agreement.“In truth, I have already been working in this area.”“As for the

“The other reason—an even more important one—is for the country, and for our people.”“In these times, the righteous are cast into obscurity while swine and curs sit in the halls of power. The Central Council has fallen under the control of the three great families, and corruption runs rampant.”“And beyond that, there is the utterly disgraceful Peace Dove Project—a betrayal of the nation itself.”Dale Jimenez’s gaze darkened, his voice heavy with restrained anger.“The Peace Dove Project?”Clifford Castillo, Malcolm Sanchez, and Norman Price all froze at the unfamiliar term.Brian Adams, Joseph, and Neil Foster already knew of it—but for Clifford Castillo and the others, this was the first they had heard of such a thing.“The Peace Dove Project is exactly what it sounds like. And my master—he was killed because of it,” Joseph said quietly.“So you’re aware of it as well, young general?” Dale Jimenez looked at him, unsurprised.“For the past few years, I had lost my memory. But now… e
