Happy new year, everyone. Hopefully in 2024, all the dreams that have not been realized in previous years, will be achieved this year. Amen
One sped up his car to get close to the helicopter, which began to fly slowly. One stopped right under the helicopter when the flying object was no longer within his reach. However, One did not lose his mind. He pulled the rope used for towing and attached an object to the top hook. One picked up a collapsible, motorized bow that fired a trigger like a gun. One used the end of the tow-rope that had been modified with a sharp cone shape, ready to be launched.SHOOT! JLEB!“That man shot a strange object at the bottom of the helicopter!” exclaimed a man guarding the side of the helicopter door when he saw what the enemy was doing.“Get out and get that thing off!” the helicopter pilot ordered, as the attached rope was preventing the helicopter from moving as it was tied to the car.One's smile grew. His efforts were successful in making the helicopter unable to fly any further. The tip of the hook, which is coated with a steel co
Everyone's faces were tense as Wyatt asked about the mafia group called Pale, headed by Silo. “Sorry, Sir. However, no one is clear about who Silo really is. The reason for the formation of the mafia group was also never investigated by the police. When the group disbanded, the government also looked casual. In fact, no one knew who Silos men were who still joined the criminal group. They just disappeared, and now they're suddenly appearing. It's suspicious, and I'm afraid it has something to do with your return,” One said, making Wyatt's face instantly serious. “I understand. We'll find out later. Let Almero and Lorena stay here as a security measure. I don't think they're ready to be taken out there yet,” Wyatt stated, and the two nodded in agreement. “Almero. You'd better call your parents and make up an excuse for not being able to come back for now.” “Okay, but... what about my maid and driver? Are... they okay? I don't know what happened to them b
Everyone stared at Jacob intently, waiting for his decision. To stay, or to leave. Ewald's heart was beating fast. The old man could not hide his anxiety if the heir decided to leave. Suddenly, he stood up. “I'd rather go than you, Mr. Wyatt. You are the only successor to the Rodriguez family. I am only a servant. Without me, the company and the ranks under you would still be running. I accept early retirement with a big heart,” he said with a smile, but to everyone's surprise. “I refuse your request for retirement. I still want to trouble you every second of the day,” Jacob said, which brought smiles to everyone's faces, but Ewald's face went pale. “I love you, Ewald. You're as precious as my life. So, sit down and let me think,” he added. Ewald smiled and sat back down. Jacob stared at the wooden table with sharp eyes, then his gaze returned to the people around him. “I chose to stay. I have to finish everything. Even though I'm not as great as the seniors in the Big 10,” he said
Jacob, accompanied by Ewald, travelled to the helipad where the Camouflage team base was located. The team's base was in the city center of a Mega-Power country with the capital named Moloscow. In that region, none of the Big 10 members controlled the city because it was designated as the center of government. The Mega-Power nation is led by a President and the island nation is quite unique.The country is shaped like a blossoming flower and has 10 large petals. The Mega-Power has 3 artificial islands in the city of Rowbon and 8 islands separate from the mainland. Some cities are interconnected by bridges above sea level and undersea tunnels. A large island sits in the middle as the center of government. Then, the big island is surrounded by several islands that become iconic cities and are controlled by members of The Big 10. All cities are unique, and look like their rulers. The members of The Big 10 are not mayors, but they have important roles in the city's government. Each big ci
C-1 then showed the building plans from the Camouflage team's investigation of the abandoned house that was allegedly the orphanage where Jacob had been exiled from the world. Patterson observed the shape of the old building from the video played by C-1 on a tablet connected to a 60-inch screen on the wall of the room. The old man looked serious, even though he had to use glasses to see. Jacob, who had just seen the results of the team's search, was also tense. “The building should be demolished. There is nothing left to save. It's all old and worn out. Do you agree, Mr. Wyatt?” asked Patterson without looking at the man in question. “Go ahead, Sir. That house, is a dark past that must be destroyed and replaced with a new building. Like my future,” he replied, making Patterson smile. “The area is quite large. There are no obstructing buildings around. In fact, the view is quite good. Shady trees surround the area. It's far away from civilian settlements and offices. It's perfect fo
Upon arrival in Moloscow, Jacob and Ewald continued their journey to Rowbon. Elberta, who was still in town, awaited Wyatt's arrival at his house. “Mrs. Elberta, nice to meet you,” Jacob greeted, extending a hand to shake. “We meet again, Mr. Wyatt,” replied the woman who always wore a white dress in the parlor. Elberta's guards stood in several corners of the room. Ewald joined the conversation between the two city lords. “The results of your investigation were excellent, Madam,” Jacob praised, earning a smile from the old woman. “Yes. However, I am worried about the condition of those people. What if they were targeted, like what happened with Lorena and Almero?” replied Elberta which made Jacob and Ewald get serious instantly. “What Mistress Elberta says is true, Sir,” Ewald said, which made Jacob smile. “It may sound cruel, but it's good. This way, the people who have been trying to get rid of the Rodriguez family will appear. Let them be the bait,” Jacob said. “Yes, that
Jacob took the time to buy some Christmas gifts at a mall in the city of Vertiland for the people who had been good to him. Who would have thought, the gifts had to be transported by a pickup truck. Of course, the mall visitors, who saw Wyatt's figure because he bought a lot of goods, made a scene in the five-story building.“Look, the gifts he bought couldn't fit in the trunk of the car! The people who got gifts from him are so lucky!” exclaimed one of the mall customers as she watched the waitresses of the store Wyatt was visiting put the name-brand bags in the closed car.“Yes, I saw him enter some shops earlier. He must have spent a lot of money. I'm jealous,” one woman pouted as she watched Wyatt pick up an outfit, complete with hat, gloves, boots, and belt, to give to one of the lucky women on his list.The news of Wyatt Rodriguez buying up the entire mall became public. Reporters, who were not far from the mall, flocked to take pictures and also a few words from the handsome ma
The former bodyguards of the Rodriguez couple search for the whereabouts of their young master who entered the dark forest. Ten ordered his friends who would later join the RedFox group to split up. They moved in all directions, armed with pistols and flashlights for light. They carried the few supplies they needed, and stuffed them in their pockets. One searched the northwest side. Two went to the west side. Three went to the south side and Four went to the southeast side. Five and Six went to the south-west side. Seven and Eight went to the northeast side. Nine went to the east side, and Ten to the north. As silence fell in the darkness and cold early morning air, suddenly .... "Mr. Wyatt!" shouted Nine when he saw his young master running fast, not far from where he was. Jacob turned his head and saw Nine running after him. "There's a scout, Nine! He's wearing a white mask! He must be a member of the Pale!" Jacob shouted, which made Nine run even fas
