The next day, still early in the morning, Killian was already looking presentable and ready to go, just waiting for Jeff's arrival. Who knows what Killian had in mind and what he was planning? Even his 150 men needed to find out where they were being taken. They were only told to gather in front of the villa at six in the morning without any explanation.As they waited, Miguel and Irene, still in their pyjamas, arrived. She looked neat and fashionable except for Irene, a sign of going with Killian.Last night when going to bed, Killian told Irene that he planned to go somewhere to surprise Jeff and give him a holiday by visiting the mysterious place. Meanwhile, Miguel didn't know about Killian's plan because he slept a little early last night due to his hip pain, although it wasn't that bad.Miguel's face, when he arrived, seemed to hold a big question mark, with the question of where Killian and his men were going so early. But he wanted to wait to ask Killian.
"Father!" someone shouted in a loud voice."Matthew, is that you?" responded Jeff in disbelief."That's right, Dad. It's me, your son!" Matthew replied quickly, then melted towards his Father, longing for a hug."But... but...? How did you come to be here? Isn't it...?""Yes, the Father is right. Our Mr Spencer, through the great mistress Irene, assigned me to hold a managerial position in one of the Spencer Group's subsidiaries in a remote part of England," she quickly replied while releasing the hug from her Father."But now I'm assigned here, along with my cousin's brother," Matthew replied frankly."Who is it, and which one?" asked Jeff curiously."Belmond, Uncle Raven's son, who you used to get angry at for his mischief," Matthew replied matter-of-factly."I see!" Jeff responded flatly."Hurry up and greet our great lord and lady. Don't you dare be impolite!" Jeff ordered."Yes, Father!" Matthew replied obedi
"Mr Spencer. Is this right? I don't think I deserve such a high position. Aren't there still my seniors, who can be directors in this company?" Matthew responded self-consciously."Do you doubt my judgement Matthew?" asked Killian unhappily."I dare not, Mr Spencer. But...?" Matthew replied desperately."Listen to all of you. Matthew's appointment as a high-ranking director of this company is my right as the company owner!""Do any of you seniors have any objections to my decision?" asked Killian firmly."No, Mr Spencer. We support your decision!" replied all the company officials in unison."Good. Furthermore, the selection of the six managers to replace the traitors will be made by Matthew. It's not a random selection, but through tests that must be carried out strictly.""Why should it be done? It is because these and similar mining companies are second only to the Ayrshire gold mines in contributing the most to the Spencer Group's
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen!" greeted the druggist and his men in unison as they bowed their heads towards their master."How are Uncle Henley and you, George? Why don't you go and tell me again?" Killian responded, pretending to be angry."Our news is fine, Mr Spencer. I'm sorry that we acted presumptuously by not informing Mr Spencer of our departure beforehand," Henley replied guiltily."Never mind. Now we're here too!" said Killian feeling bad too."Where's our tent?" asked Killian, diverting the story, startling them all."Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. The biggest and tallest tent is your place," Henley replied quickly, pointing at the tent in the centre of dozens of others."Let's take us there!" said Killian firmly."Please, ladies and gentlemen," greeted the druggist and George respectfully.Long after. Killian and Irene were already inside the spacious and large tent, though there was no bed yet. Only a sleeping mat
SHREK... SHREK... SHREK...The sound of dry grass breaking against heavy objects could be heard quite clearly. The guard commander at the sector four guard post focused on listening to the sound that was getting clearer and clearer.Believing that something was approaching their campsite, without wasting any time, the watch commander pointed his searchlight toward the slight noise.As soon as the beam of light hit the object, to his surprise, there were four large men in front of him, coming stealthily towards their camp.Their huge bodies were clad in animal skins; some were bare-chested, wearing only their underwear. But what was strange about them was that they held something like hunting weapons and other armour.Seeing that, without wanting to waste any more time and take a big risk, the watch commander woke up his other men and gave the code to the other guard posts.Suddenly a muffled gunshot rang out, aimed at the person pointing the
The next day, at around six am, Killian ordered his men to check the area around the camp to ascertain if anything or anyone was a casualty in the barrage of warning shots.Killian also ordered them to carry potent weapons in case anything bad happened. But after checking for about an hour, within a radius of six hundred metres away from the campsite, they found nothing.They only found droplets and clots of frozen blood, which were under a large tree, and there were many of them too."Was there anything or someone, or a beast found?" Jeff asked curiously."So far, nothing was found, chief. We only found clots of frozen blood around that big tree," Dexon replied matter-of-factly."It turns out that there are indeed people who intend to come to our camp, and of course, they have bad intentions. Luckily, the guards quickly realised their arrival," Jeff responded with satisfaction."But there's one oddity we found, chief!""Tell me what
Before long, Killian and his party, including Irene and thirty of her guards, had entered the depths of the mysterious forest and were heading southeast. The terrain was steep and hilly, making it difficult for the group to move. Because they took a shortcut, they did not go through the river.But because they were led by Dexter, Aethelhelm, Henley, Jeff and Helgi, residents, the journey went smoothly. Moreover, in front of them is a road-clearing group tasked with clearing branches, bushes, and small logs blocking their path.The Morse clues, which ten groups of ninjas had created, made the journey easy. But on the way, one incident surprised them, and it needed special handling because it happened to Irene, the person they were supposed to protect."Aaaahh!" cried Irene strongly when suddenly her foot fell into a small hole that was quite deep. Then she was quickly lifted with the help of a bodyguard.But that wasn't what surprised Irene. Suddenly, a si
"Not only is it something very valuable, Mr Spencer, but it's also very dangerous," the ninja replied bluntly."Something very dangerous. What is it?" asked Killian curiously."Within a radius of 150 metres from here, there is a very large snake. At first glance, the snake looks like a weathered log and is overgrown by many vines. But upon closer inspection, it turns out to be the body of a very large snake," the other ninja replied matter-of-factly."That's a good find. Usually, the snake is a type of rice field snake. Although it is not venomous, the entanglement is very deadly. Besides, the suction power from its mouth is very strong. Usually, when the snake gets too big, it can't move anymore, just waiting for its prey to pass," Aethelhelm responded happily."I want that snake!" he said."Leave the snake alone. Let him live, as long as he doesn't bother us," Killian said firmly, shattering the Aethelhelm's daydreams. Who knows what he was plann
