It probably doesn't help that the first two titled blades are more hard-boiled personas.
"One of them was an accident," Livy added, still feeling embarrassed. The Leviathan overestimated the chair's resilience and tried to sit in one, only for it to crumble beneath her weight.

I recall the children of the sky being exclusively female?
A few minutes later, Faenethe appeared. He was one of the Children of the Sky, a harpy. Wings instead of arms and legs that were very similar to Nimbus' and his clothes were much lighter, being only a simple pair of black pants made out of loose silk. He had yellow eyes and brown feathers covering his back. His hair was the same color but it was just like any other sentient species. He was the extraction specialist. Nethe, as he preferred to be called, had helped many people escape from the wendigos once they started appearing and now his talents would be used in a different way.

My guess is that she killed the original practitioner and had it sitting in a ring gathering dust.

I assume she's talking about Shang's eyes.
In fact, it was heavily injured, with around 15% of it completely missing!

There's symbolism here somewhere
Shang summoned his Isolation Chamber again and put it down, destroying everything.

Slavery is okay as long as you pay your slave tax
Of course, this still needed to be abided by the law as forcibly enslaving a person through violent means was still a violation of the law, constituting battery and assault, as well as unlawful slavery.

Ah yes, the free market that will definitely regulate itself and spur competition between businesses for greater innovation! They surely won't collude together into oligopolies to exploit the common man by setting price floors and running out all those that don't follow it out of business!
Rui had become even more certain of his prediction on Bradt Partick when he looked at the legislative bills he passed ever since he was elected as the guild master. The man was a ruthless capitalist. An absolute proponent of free markets, and economic liberty. It had very quickly become evident to Rui that this man viewed everything as money, and that he had no bottom lines. One of his first legislative acts as guildmaster was to leave the East Panamic Narcotic Drug Convention, a convention that had been ratified by forty nations, including the Kandrian Empire. This was directly based on his philosophy of individual libertarianism and free-market capitalism. The man had decided that if adults wanted to ruin their lives with narcotic drugs, they had every right to and that the state had no right to restrict that.

I'm of the opinion that there's little reason not to divulge the technique. 1. The barrier to mastery is insane for everyone but Rui. 2. Even if they know about the technique and how it works, how do you defend against a high speed projectile fired from a kilometer away? Iirc, most squires can't even sense that far, that's the entire draw of the technique even.
Of course, he was much less concerned about revealing his Pathfinder technique. That technique was valuable, no doubt, but it wasn't enough to get the Martial Union to take unscrupulous measures to obtain it. Especially if Rui already intended to share it in exchange for benefits.

I returned her grin and shrugged. "Ah, nothing much. Just some monster parts."

"Exactly! Which is why you should come with us! We are just killing some vegetable monsters at a farm. One hour there, one hour back. Easiest quest of our lives! What do you say, Voker?" Nick said while raising his eyebrows.

I hope and pray he doesn't grow find of her. If I have to read one more story that validates slavery because the owner is nice, I'm gonna vomit. No matter how nice they may seem, they will kill you the second you don't obey. That's not kindness, it's manipulation.
Sorry, little Adria, you are just going to be another stepping stone for my eventual escape.

DEATHWORLDERS BABY LONG LIVE JENKINS
We were refused joint research projects for years, citing many problems. Warp jump technology was kept away from us as the aliens moved behind the scenes. Soon after, we were labeled a Deathworld species due to our planet's "harsh" environment. It had started a cold war, Humanity versus everyone else. They were afraid of us, and rightfully so.

Every time he says Mishaaa I just think of Frozone asking Honey for his super suit.
'Mishaaa, can you tell me about the integration, when will it happen and when is the first point of contact,' though I didn't really need her to tell me since I already know, I wanted to make sure of something.

She even went on to shout the expected lines, "You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."

I'm just gonna assume this story is set in the US with EU gun laws at this point. Every officer carries a firearm regardless of seniority and goes through firearm training.
Most cops like her would have their guns strapped to their side or waist, and weren't allowed to carry a weapon that wasn't visible and issued by her department, which just went to show that she was a newbie cop.

CEOs are still criminals so either way y'know?
Do I not have other things I am more passionate about than becoming a gangster, like becoming a champion kickboxer or rich CEO?
