The mayor of Kukuphindu announced that he would be visiting the Abes prison today to make some donations. The warden, the deputy wardens, and the chief of security were all delighted the moment they heard the word donations.“Hehehe, I promised my wife I would buy her a car as a birthday gift. Her birthday is getting closer, and I still haven’t seen the money to fulfill that promise. Now I’m sure I’ll be able to buy the car I promised,” one of the four deputy wardens said to his partner.“Hush. You don’t want to start announcing to the prisoners what we’re going to do with the money, do you?” his partner replied harshly.“Of course not. Besides, it’s not as if they can do anything even if they hear it. Everyone here has at least twenty years on their head, and many of them are serving life imprisonment. Relax.” He patted the other deputy warden.“I’ve already told you my piece. The mayor is coming, so let’s go and receive him.”The prison wardens waited as a boat pulled up to the isla

“Are these all the survivors?” she asked Gilbert.“Yes. The missiles killed most of them,” he replied.“And the weapons? I hope the warehouses where they’re stored weren’t hit.”“No. We made sure to avoid them.”She gave a slight nod before shifting her gaze to the remaining members of the Bolas terrorist group.In a single day, a terrorist organization that had terrorized this region for years and even sponsored The freedom fighters had been completely wiped out.“You.” She pointed at Laurent.“Yes.” He straightened instinctively.“You’re the leader, correct? We both know you weren’t operating alone. Tell me who sponsored you.”She did not waste time skirting the issue.“There’s no need to hide it,” Laurent said evenly. “We were originally sponsored by the Grandels, but they’re gone now. After their fall, I became the absolute leader. We stopped taking orders. Instead of rebuilding from scratch, we continued from where the Grandels left off.”“The Grandels?” She frowned faintly. “Wha

Minatosa Island.A small island a few miles away from Panya.Laurent Shard, the leader of the Bolas terrorist group, sat in his office as his generals delivered their reports.“We have lost all connection with Panya. We don’t know what’s going on in that country right now,” one of the generals said.“Exactly. And I think this is deliberate, not ordinary. If we don’t act now, all our work will be useless,” another pointed out.Laurent Shard remained silent, thinking deeply.“I think we should send some people to find out what exactly is happening. Even if something affected their network, at least someone should have returned to tell us what’s going on. Let’s send a team,” another added.The rest agreed unanimously.Laurent finally raised his hand, commanding silence. Everyone immediately focused on him.“One thing I know is that whatever is happening in Panya is not ordinary. I agree that we should send spies first. That way we can understand why—”Boom!A missile slammed directly int

"Leave that one to me," Nina said, locking eyes with Natasha.She leapt from the boat, which had just reached the shore, and moved with the wind as though walking on solid ground, her wind element carrying her lightly through the air."You are their leader, right? Who are you people?" Natasha asked with a deep frown. She had realized the situation was far more serious than she had initially thought. Some powerful group or organization outside Panya had clearly targeted them."You don’t need to know," Nina replied coldly.Natasha raised her hand and unleashed a torrent of fire toward Nina.Nina reacted instantly, erecting multiple wind shields around herself.The raging flames tore violently through the wind barriers, shredding layer after layer of swirling air. However, the shields slowed the attack just long enough for Nina to alter her trajectory.A powerful gust spiraled beneath her feet as she shot forward.In the next instant, she appeared directly before Natasha, her wand slicin

"All of this was orchestrated by someone powerful and meticulous. They even severed communication between us and the country. I wonder how they managed that?" She frowned deeply."You know what I suggest? We retreat and wait for the authorities’ decision. We can’t continue staying here. The longer we remain, the greater the risk of being discovered. Many governments are already interested in this matter. It’s only a matter of time before they start sending people in. Worst of all, we can’t even establish contact with our own country," the general said grimly.The entire Panya network had suddenly collapsed, including private channels. This wasn’t random. It was deliberate and perfectly timed.As a result, communication became difficult for both camps. Intelligence moved at a crawl."I’ve already sent people to Burusia. They’ll return with news soon. Just calm down and wait," the Admiral said evenly.But she had no intention of retreating. Never. If anything, this was the moment they n

"Chief Commander Daniel, the Mainland has received shipments from discreet Burusia ships. We can’t confirm what’s inside, but I believe they contain weapons," a young soldier reported.Chief Commander Daniel stood at the window overlooking the barracks. Soldiers drilled in tight formation while officials barked orders across the yard. Every movement carried urgency. He was short and sturdy, with a peculiar beard and a face hardened into something naturally intimidating.He drew in a slow breath and turned."Why do you think they’re weapons?" he asked evenly."Our men tracked several suspicious ships unloading cargo into the Mainland. The routes match Burusia trade patterns, but the manifests are falsified. We also encountered armed men we suspect are Burusians."Daniel’s jaw tightened. "I see."He moved to his desk, pulled out the chair, and sat."We prepare to strike."The soldier hesitated. "Chief Commander… what’s the point of continuing this war? The Mainland will never surrender.
