"Woah!" Weapons and combat equipment were piled up in crates. The futuristic touches and elegant designs left everyone stunned. Such as a black greatsword with a chromed metallic hilt, metal gauntlets painted red, body armor with black dope, or a helmet with green glass covering the face. The awakeners could not help but drop their jaws. However, what surprised them was; all of this stuff was artificial arcana. The awakeners were very sensitive to mana. They could feel the magical aura when the…-

Atlantic Ocean, 100 miles off the coast of North America. The wind was blowing hard, creating high waves and battering the trawler. Despite the terrible storm raging in the ocean, a group of sailors struggled to catch fish, casting huge nets on the surface of the tossing water. The boat glided up and down on the violent waves, while lightning flashed in the dark sky. The captain, a wrinkled-faced man with a wealth of experience, looked out over the raging sea. He knew the risks his crew faced, but…

Jacob's leaving left them in silence. Richard looked at Klaus, implying doubt as to whether or not this plan could work. Klaus remained calm. Someone's absence didn't make a significant change to the plan but it would be a different story if Terry also left. He was a vital part of winning the election, after all. The gold-toothed man pursed his lips. In his mind, he was undecided whether to go or not. On one hand, he wanted to walk out like Jacob and not get involved in politics. But on the other…

Seriousness was written on the faces, as Klaus and Richard entered the room. As usual, Jacob put his feet up on the table. He lowered his head, glancing through his sunglasses as his eyes implied curiosity. Something similar could also be seen in the Guild Master of the Golden Hammer Company, Terry Owen. The gold-toothed man twisted his lips while squinting at Klaus. The two men had no idea why they were gathered here. When the party neared its end, Alexa suddenly asked them to follow her to this…

Time flew, and before you knew it, September had come. On a morning when the sun had yet to make its appearance in the sky, SoHo looked different than usual. Dozens of people in heavy jackets huddled in front of a shop called Golden Hammer Shop. They brought tents, folding chairs, and other supplies to make the wait comfortable. These people had been lined up neatly in front of the shop door since midnight even though it opened at 9am. They all queued up from the wee hours of the morning just to buy…

September was a busy month. The House of Blacksmith began work on the mass production of the Elemental Gun. Dozens of large container trucks filled the parking lot, unloading tons of raw materials. These heavy vehicles came from California, sent by the Divine Ursine Alliance. Inside the factories, workers struggled with melting machines, melting various types of metals such as aluminum, sponge ore, and other polymeric metals. These hot molten metals were poured into molds to be made into weapon…

Richard invited Klaus to talk elsewhere. As they crossed the production hall, workers from various positions greeted the boss. They smiled sincerely. Klaus saw no hypocrisy in them at all. During his time at Mors Industries, he met a wide variety of employee characters. Starting from silo-minded employees, sycophants, incompetent, and lazy workers. But most were two-faced employees. They speak sweetly in front of Klaus, but talk badly behind him. However, Klaus had yet to meet employees like the workers…

The black clouds that had been dropping raindrops were gone. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly despite the wet streets. The restaurant started to get quiet as customers were ready to return to work. David helped Elizabeth put on the coat, getting ready to head home after receiving a crushing defeat. Without saying goodbye to Klaus and Alexa, she walked towards the exit with a sour look on her face. On the other hand, Klaus smiled so wide that his lips touched his ears. He had just…

Klaus grinned as he looked at Elizabeth in doubt. Screwing Elizabeth was not his main goal. Klaus just wanted to make Elizabeth know her place. He thought she would back out of the bet after the first toss, but she continued the game until the second round. From this, he learned that Elizabeth was a self-centered woman. She was a typical person who thought the world revolved around her and people were beneath her. With her high self-esteem and sense of entitlement, Elizabeth was the easiest victim…

BAM! David angrily pounded on the table. The people around were shocked, looking at David with questioning expressions. However, the handsome man didn't care as his veins were throbbing. Not only David but Alexa also disagreed with Klaus' idea. Risking a company with just a coin toss was foolish. But she chose to keep quiet because she knew Klaus wouldn't do something without a plan. "Watch what you say, son. I know you're the grandson of a conglomerate, but don't think you can get away with…
