Features: When his journalist brother is murdered while investigating an event, the younger brother, Clayton Basto, follows him to Kentucky to start an investigation. In McAdam County, he discovers clues to the murder of his brother, and his brother's interview notes also hint at the existence of a powerful new technology called "Silent Sword." As Clayton Basto further investigates McAdam County and the family secrets that rule the county, he himself becomes a target of pursuit, but he still risks his life to track down the murderer who killed his brother and the secrets of the Silent Sword. If he does not expose their conspiracy in time, they will incite the people of McAdam County to declare independence from the United States—a feat no one has dared to do in 1,500 years since the founding of the United States. They dare to defy the world because they hold the powerful weapon "Silent Sword." They can set up an impenetrable barrier around McAdam County, leaving the military powerless. Clayton Basto will report the information he learns through a specific channel to the President.
