Victor's eyes held a deep light, "I want to prove one thing: a nation plundered for five hundred years, a country trampled underfoot, can rise, can stand tall, can tell those old empires—the rules of the game need to change."

"The old world is collapsing, and we are building the new."
Victor said, "This process will be difficult, there will be sacrifices, there will be countless people trying to stop us. But history will only remember the victors, not those who complain about the unfairness of the game."
