By morning, Ran was already awake. His body was already feeling much better. And the wound is also slowly starting to dry up. But Shukar was still asleep on his stomach. Perhaps this was the first time he had suffered severe injuries and was also physically exhausted. So he fell asleep very soundly.

Ran then got up from where he was lying. Two sat on the bed looking at the wound. His stout body was visible because Walib took off his robes and clothes when he was being treated.

“What happened before Shukar and I fell unconscious?” Ran muttered as he spread his hands.

Suddenly Walib came with a bowl of porridge. He then sat next to Ran's right.

"That was also my question when I brought you to my house," said Walid.

Ran just kept quiet and lowered his head.

"Eat first," Walid handed him the porridge.

"The sun hasn't even come up yet."

"No problem. You haven't eaten since yesterday, right?”

Suddenly Ran's stomach growled. Walid smiled and Ran accepted the porridge.

    In the noon, Shukar was awake. But he still felt pain in his back from the wound from Zero's attack. So he couldn't lie down. Just face down to prevent the wound from being squeezed, causing the wound to tear again. Shukar also ate heartily when Walib served porridge with chicken soup."This is delicious," said Shukar, chewing."Swallow the food first before talking," replied Ran."But this porridge is delicious, Ran ."“I also felt the same way when I first tried this porridge.”"Now you understand, don't you?" Shukar immediately finished the porridge and chicken soup and then he gulped water.“ Hey, ard what happened when you were attacked by Zero?” Ran asked when he also finished eating the porridge.“Last incident I remember, I was shuffling back while behind me, Zero was striking me with his greatsword. After that, I don't remember what happened next. What happened was that I woke up in this house,” explained Shukar.“When you were attacked, I was still conscious. But for some re

    "Is there any information on when they will stage a coup?" asked Fresa.Hearing Fresa's question, Watib was silent and looked at Fresa calmly. He then put the food in his mouth and chewed. After pushing, Watib took a sip of water and then looked back at Fresa."For now, we don't know," replied Watib."That means their actions will be carried out suddenly," said Jemin."That's why we tightened security, especially in this government building," Watib raised his right index finger.“That means, there is someone leading this faction?” Dex asked Watib.Watib nodded then replied, "Sure. And their leader used to be an important official in the Ramil city government.”Instantly Fresa was shocked. Jemin and Dez looked at each other as they were also shocked."This means that this problem has been going on for a long time," said Fresa."Me and him have a lot of different views on politics," Watib mumbled."Shouldn't we be looking for him?" Jimin suggested.“Our agents from the Ramil City Intell

    In his hiding place, Bona was reading some report files from Gema. He perused under the light of an oil lamp. He smiled a little because his plan was going as it should. He put down the reports and took a sip of the hot drink on his right."Soon Ramil will fall in my hands," said Bona as he took another sip of the warm drink.Not long after, Gema came in breathless and bent over with his hands resting on his knees. Sweat was dripping down his forehead which dripped onto the sand in this dark room.“ Bo …Bona…,” Gema paused to take a breath."What is it Gemma? Why are you in such a hurry here??” asked Bona.After Gema's breathing stabilized, he replied, “Bona, you know what happened a few months ago in the abandoned region in the north? Well, two hours after the sun went down, I came back from the point where we would attack in the southwest of the city. I saw a lot of police coming to the area.”"What? What are they doing?" Bona remained calm."I do not know. They walked through every

    It was past midnight. But Ran stays awake. He was having a conversation with Fresa. Tells all what he has been through when he first separated. Fresa was impressed. Especially when Ran fought against Berna and Gordon. It was as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the most powerful human he had ever met."You are indeed strong," said Fresa."Not. There are still many who are stronger than me. The proof is Zero. He can beat me easily," said Ran.“You mean the one who fought with you and Ran in the abandoned territory in the eastern part of Rami city?”Ran nodded then said, “Tomorrow when we go there, you will see how hard it is for me to fight Zero.”"If I assume you are strong and you were defeated by Zero, then Zero is really strong," Fresa shook his head."Hey, can we sleep in peace?" said Shukar who was curled up under the blanket and on the soft mattress.“Sorry to disturb your sleep,” Frea pressed his hands together.Shukar immediately covered his entire bod

    Before sunrise, Qarni had come knocking on the hotel door. Fresa , who had just finished changing, rushed to open the door and ushered in Qarni . Ran was already ready with a brown robe and a katana tucked into his left waist under the cloak."Are you guys ready?" Qarni asked ."Of course we are ready. Only one person is still asleep,” Fresa pointed at Shukar who was still sleeping supine on the bed."How many will come along?" Ran said as he straightened his brown robe.“Looks like it's just the three of us. After I conferred with the Mayor last night, we reached an agreement not to bring too many people so as not to attract the attention of the enemy," replied Qarni .Suddenly Shukar woke up and got up from his bed. Staggering and half-closed eyes, he walked to the bathroom and opened the door. Upon entering, Shukar closes the door and it is heard that he is starting to take a bath and wash himself."I'm going to be the four of them there!" Shukar shouted from inside the bathroom.I

    Dessert arrived. Shukar felt full since he finished the main meal. Although he was no longer able to eat, but seeing the devil's fresh fruits in him seemed to tell him to be greedy and eat the dessert as he pleased. Shukar tried to eat two red grape seeds and his stomach felt like it was going to explode."I can't take it anymore," Shukar muttered to himself as he leaned back against the back of the chair.Meanwhile Watib continued the conversation. He was intrigued by Ran's suggestion about tightening security at night."As I said before, I agree with Ran's suggestion," Watib said while chewing an apple."Starting tonight, I will tighten security in every corner of the city," said Qarni.“Soon the alert level will become alert one. And don't look flashy so that people remain calm," Watib told Qarni."Was the public informed about this?" Qarni asked.Watib replied, "Don't. Any information regarding this, do not let it leak in the community. We must not make people panic. Our successfu

    Having finished coordinating the attack point in the east, Gema rushed back to Bona's hideout to report. Bona smiled when he heard the report from Echo that everything went smoothly without any disturbance."Good. Everything went according to plan,” Bona nodded."But, there is one thing that bothers me," said Gema."Is there something you want to say?" ask Bona"Not words. It's just a question," said Gema."Then what is it?"“At the northwestern and northern attack points, there is always an empty space formed in a circle. Every time I ask the foreman in each of these places, they also don't know. What exactly is that? What are you going to put in that place?” Echo asked at length.Bona smiled at the question from Gema. He then chuckled because he knew that Echo would ask such a question."I knew you would ask that," said Bona."Then what is your answer?""You'll find out for yourself when our covert operation begins.

    In the late afternoon, Gema arrived at the attack point southwest of the city of Ramil, Gema arrived and immediately coordinated with the foreman at that place. The progress of the development process in this place is also still ongoing. It was on top of a sand dune nearly five hundred meters high. At the top there is a sloping land overgrown with various types of desert trees. Like; dates, cacti, and also spinifex grass.Echo had a bit of trouble when he had to climb this hill. The reason is, the hill which is often called Hara hill is higher than Rama hill where his family is hiding."It's better if this evidence turns into a mountain because this is the highest plateau around the Ramil city area," Gema grumbled as he continued to climb this hill.In the middle of the trip, the sandals he was wearing almost broke due to slipping. But thankfully nothing happened to his sandals. Arriving at the top, just like in the previous two attack points, the faction members were busy building a

    Shukar is still asleep but Ran is awake and ready. He even cleaned his body by taking a bath. Although this is only a dorm room for candidates or young police officers who want to learn self-defense, the facilities are quite complete. So Ran can clean herself up before he goes back to training."I need to quickly master the shock attack power technique," Ran muttered to himself.Not long after, there was a knock on the door. After Ran opened, it was apparently an old man with a tray filled with food and drinks for breakfast."I guess Herlos," said Ran as he looked at the old man."Sorry, I was assigned by Herlos to deliver this breakfast," said the old man."Thank you," Ran accepted the breakfast.The old man then said goodbye and left. Ran brought the breakfast and put it on the small table near the bench. The smell of porridge sprinkled with pickles and sliced fruit makes it difficult to move the nose. He even raised his head when he was prone on the bed."What's this sweet smell?"

    "I have to admit your reasons are quite reasonable," said Gero.Goto laughed then he poured the ginger drink into his cup and Gero's."Let's have another drink," said Goto as he lifted the cup and took a sip.Gero also took his cup and took a sip."I still want to surpass Ran ," said Gero after taking a sip of the ginger drink."That's up to you. It's your life choice. Whatever the outcome, the risk will be borne by you," replied Goto .Gero just smiled then he got up and walked out by opening the door without permission. On the way home, Gero was intercepted by a man wearing a black hooded cape that covered his entire body. The man's face could not be seen because of the dark conditions of the night. Because he was a royal samurai, when there was a threat Gero immediately prepared to draw his sword. But the black hooded man raised his hands."Calm. I won't attack you," said the black hooded man."Who are you? Are you an intruder?” asked Gero whose right hand was already holding the h

    Inauguration

    Gero rushed to Goto when he heard that Ran had been promoted to the King's bodyguard. A very prestigious position and full of pride. Whoever gets this position, will not be underestimated again. Goto was not surprised in the slightest by Gero's arrival. He had already predicted that Gero would meet him."Master, why does Ran always stand out?" asked Gero.Goto who was making a clay bowl didn't answer. He put the bowls on a tray neatly then he put them in the furnace. After that he looked at Gero with a smile."Don't you stand out too?" Goto asked back."What do you mean?" Gero was confused.“Just think about it, ever since you became an eternal rival with Ran, you always stood out among your other friends. You have passed Kaju and Taka too. After graduating they both just became farmers. While you are already a royal samurai.”"But still I can't surpass Ran.""You're so focused on going beyond one person that you forget you've surpassed many."Gero then fell silent. Goto smiled broadl

    The four-wheeled wagon that Gema was riding in continued to slide down the hillside. He had screamed when the wagon hit the rocks causing him to almost let go of his hand that was holding on to the side of the cart. The wagon grew louder and louder that Gema had to squint his eyes as the wind hit his face.“When do I get to the bottom?!” shouted Gema as he continued to hold on.Another ten meters or so to the bottom, Gema sighed as he shifted from descending to gently sloping. The wagon was still sliding twenty meters on the sand until Echo pulled the brake lever and the wagon came to a stop.With trembling legs Echo got off the wagon and plopped down on the sandbag."I will never again want to go down hill in a wagon!" he said, gasping for air.After his breathing returned to normal, Gema stood up and cleaned his clothes from the sand and walked towards the attack point in the northwest of Ramil city . The journey took more than an hour until the sun had turned orange and the sky was
