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.

“I want the Secretary of Trade position. That’s all,” he said directly.“What!? This is absurd. Nonsense. I won’t accept it. Say something else entirely,” the president said angrily.Samuel shrugged.“You can just take your daughter and forget about it.”“Do you think you can emotionally blackmail me?” he asked with a smirk.“I’m not even trying to. Go on. It’s nice to meet you and your daughter, Your Excellency.” He stretched out his hand for a handshake.The president looked at the outstretched hand but didn’t take it. His mind churned with conflicting thoughts, and a wave of stress washed over him.“You do realize I can’t just remove the current Secretary of Trade,” he explained calmly.“I can assure you that you can not only remove the Secretary of Trade but also the Commissioner of Customs,” Samuel replied.“Don’t tell me you are targeting that position as well?” the president asked with a frown.“I can get it for myself,” Samuel replied confidently. “That’s if you don’t interfer

“Oh.” The president did not seem angry at what he heard, contrary to Isaac’s expectations.“Just that?” Isaac frowned.He was completely ignored. “You said you have my daughter. Where is she?” the president asked Samuel.“I already asked my people to bring her,” he replied.“Where did you rescue her?”“Panya. She was locked up in an underground prison,” Samuel replied.The president gritted his teeth.“Who kidnapped her?” he asked.“The Urgabas. They had a hidden base in Panya that I managed to uncover by mistake. I killed all of them and rescued your daughter,” Samuel explained.The president did not doubt Samuel’s ability to accomplish such a feat alone. He had already heard the story, after all. It had been huge news, and many powerful ability users knew about it. Even some weaker ones had heard the tale.“Thank you, son,” the president said.Suddenly, he made a move. But the person he attacked was not Samuel. He struck Isaac, who had been secretly retreating. Isaac collapsed insta
