After further reading, king…

Ben exclaimed that he was going to get a Police Officer suit and was going to go around acting like a Officer. “Why don’t you just dress in your regular clothes, that’s scary enough,” Zach said while giggling. Zach was the jokester of the group. “Haha, very funny,” Ben murmured. Usually no one would pick on Ben because was a very tough…

Jabbar later went into depth about how the American people lived through a similar phase, back when the Ku Klux Klan roamed American soil. He used…

After uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian plateau, he seized huge areas of central Asia and China. His descendants extended the realm even further, advancing to such distant places only on horse and walking like Vietnam, Syria, Poland, and Korea.
