How far can human beings be pushed before they break? Before they rise? Do they revolt only when their backs are against the wall, or merely when their comfort is disturbed? Is it truly justice they crave, or just the preservation of their own little corners of peace?
Do the masses cry for truth, or simply for convenience dressed in moral robes?
Alexander Blackwell asked himself these questions often.
For him, this was never just about land or wealth. Not even about the private city-state he planned to build in the heart of Africa. No, Alexander's true mission ran deeper—into the minds, the reactions, the very instincts of the human collective. He wanted to see what they would do. How far they could be bent before they snapped. His goal was not merely empire or legacy. It was total control.
Psychological control.
Because in the end, the real battlefield was the mind.
