The next day
Carlos released military drones into the jungle sky, three in number and all with silence spec. The engine was no longer a propeller but a mini turbofan system located on all four sides of the drone.
They were expensive in the market since they were meant for military use, but James could easily afford one because of two things: his wealth and job.
James and the others were already in the forest. They left from Newstrand at midnight and arrived there at three in the morning.
This ambush operation was divided into three teams: the first team was assigned to ambush the Void lab directly, the second team to sabotage the electrical equipment and electronic signals, and the last team was assigned to clear the area.
"How's it going, Carlos?" asked James, speaking through a military headset.
"Three drones are in the sky, starting to map out the number of targets," Carlos replied.
The man was the busiest at the moment.

Not only did they bury the guards, but they also began to destroy the drugs by burning them. Lawrence's guards began spilling glass bottles of DD pills into a large, deep hole.Lorenzo managed to arrest one person, a young man. Now, there were a total of three people arrested by Red Eye agents.The three would soon be brought to Red Eye along with Klaus. The man was eager to undergo their interrogation process.James was still outside the residence, watching from afar the process of destroying the drugs. He stood together with Lara, looking in the same direction."Klaus said he confirmed that the position of the next Void drug storehouse is in a village," Lara said."I already know that," James explained."They'll find out soon enough that this place has been attacked," Lara explained.The man seemed to turn his body around, looking at the wooden house full of bullet holes and the front yard damaged by the Van's car crash. They will s

"What? President Zacharia's son?" asked James.He couldn't hide his surprise when he heard Lara's explanation. He focused his eyes on Amelia, standing tall before him, trying to confirm the truth."Yes," Amelia said.James sighed softly, scratching his head of hair that wasn't itchy at all."Is there a problem?" asked Amelia, both curious and worried."Nothing, your relationship with Leon won't affect my mission," replied James."In fact, we will be advantaged by the relationship between the two. Communication with President Zacharia will be easier," said Lara."I can consider that an advantage for our mission," James replied."You can have a relationship with anyone. It's your right, but don't let it impact your work," James continued."You know how Dad is when things don't go his way," James countered.Amelia smiled widely. At first, she thought James would scold her and forbid her from having a relationship with someone. However, what she feared didn't happen at all.She promised J

***The next day.The three Void members' defence was so strong that Klaus failed to get any valuable information about the High Roses. He was so frustrated that he tried everything but failed in the end."Sorry, I cannot get them to talk about who the High Roses are," Klaus said, arriving at the lakeside house with Carlos.James had woken up early in the morning. He appeared to be wearing a white shirt and black suit that matched him, preparing to go to work at Eclipse."So what did you get from them?" asked James.Carlos walked over to James, handing him a blue folder containing papers he had taken notes on during the interrogation process.James took the file, opened it and read it carefully. There were three important pieces of information that Carlos and Klaus were able to get: Information on the location of Void's other warehouses, the DD pill compounding place, and the antidote."Antidote? Did you get any more informatio

James continued to work, focusing his mind and body on the instructions Iris gave him. That day, they weren't only tasked with making the medicine but also researching it so that the herbal medicine was ready to be put on the market. He had lunch together with Jayden and Hannah. Martin was not seen in the company cafeteria. The man had told his assistant to get the lunch menu from the cafeteria, as Martin wanted to eat it in his room while working. It had been a busy day for Martin, as he had been informed by one of the seven High Roses confidants that Void's warehouse in the forest had been destroyed. He suffered a huge loss because hundreds of thousands of DD pills that should have been distributed to the public ended up in ashes in the hands of the people who attacked the place. Because of that incident, he lost hundreds of thousands of Cara –the currency of the Republic of Carran. The bell rang loudly. James looked at his watch; it was already three in the afternoon.

The rain was getting more and more heavy in the city. Amber kept her gaze wandering, looking out through the windshield.If she hadn't left with James, she would have to wait at the Eclipse for hours, as there was no sign of the rain stopping.James was still focused on the road ahead, right hand holding the steering wheel and left hand holding the gear."Thanks for taking me home, by the way," Amber said."You're welcome. We are coworkers, even though we are on different teams. So, don't feel shy like that," James explained.The two fell silent again, Amber still enjoying the heavy raindrops that continued to fall on this car driving on the city highway.Amber's residence was in an elite residential compound east of the city. Given her larger salary than James, it wasn't strange that she lived there."Is it nice working with Dr. Issac?" asked James, starting the conversation to avoid awkwardness."What do you mean?" asked Ambe

***Three days later."Can you get two gingers for me, James?" asked Iris.The woman seemed to lack the ingredients to make the herbal medicine the team had planned in the first briefing. James nodded. This could be his chance to take two samples from Issac's secret project.James held up a glass bowl where the herbal ingredients would be collected. He watched ahead at the other staff, who seemed to be busy with their work.Issac was out of sight just in time for James to take the two samples."Prime," said James softly.[Prime Activated][Is there anything you need, Mr. Lawrence?]"Connect to the security camera computer.

The Magnificent James Lawrence Chapter 41 - Main Sample
James and Amber looked at each other for a long time in the toilet. In the end, the woman sighed softly as her hands clasped around her waist. "Gosh, what exactly was Red Eye doing in Eclipse?" Amber asked. "That's not something you should worry about," James replied. Amber looked confused, with one eye closed, looking at James, who was standing before her. The woman started to stand up from her seated position, tidying up her appearance, which looked shabby due to the short dispute. "From the way you've been behaving to the point of stealing the sample. I'm sure you're investigating a medication, right?" Amber asked. James pulled out the toilet paper, wiping his dirty fingers from Amber's makeup. She stepped out of the toilet and stared into the sink mirror. Her hand reached into her handbag, grabbing some cosmetics to touch up her makeup. James' rough demeanor while holding Amber's mouth had left marks around the woman's mouth and cheeks. "So, what's your decision?" asked Jame

James re-holstered the handgun he was holding. He walked over to Amber as he held his hand out to her, accepting the plastic with the DD pills. "If they do, does that mean it's produced there?" asked James, curious. "Issac told me there was a secret facility used to make the pills, but he didn't explain further where it was," Amber said. "Do you know what the pill could do?" asked James. Amber shook her head. Issac had only told her in brief that it was a sedative, which was why no one was allowed to work on the secret project. "Isn't it just like a normal sedative?" Amber asked. "I guess you didn't know it, huh? It's fine," said James. He kept the pill and refused to give it back to Amber, so the woman before James was even more confused by the man's attitude. "Why did you keep it? Is it the drug that made you get into Eclipse?" Amber asked. "That's right. I'm getting close to the suspect in this case. I need you to keep out of this," Amber pleaded. "Tch, I have a lot of wor

Once everything was ready, James, Lara, and Lorenzo stepped out of his study. They went past Amelia and Ruth, who were still confused and anxious about what was happening.They followed James and his two colleagues again, getting into the elevator in turn and then going to the front door of Lawrence's house. Their eyes watched James get into a white sedan."Should I send Lawrence's bodyguards there?" asked Amelia, wanting to help.James stopped what he was doing, standing beside the white sedan whose door was open. His head turned to the left, looking at Amelia and Ruth, who were standing side by side."There's no need. We can handle it," James said."Be careful," said Ruth, looking full of fear.

"Oh, I see," James said.He had realized the Carran government would play along with the High Roses. Klaus interrogated Gilbert for seven hours, which was quite a struggle since Gilbert was military man.However, the more he held back, the more painful the torture Klaus gave him. In the fifth hour since the start of the interrogation, Gilbert began to reveal information about the High Roses and the Carran government."They intend to sell the vaccine for 50 Carra," Gilbert replied."That price is too high for the people to afford, especially people from the low middle class," Lara said."The government tried to negotiate the price, but there was no agreement between them," Gilbert said."If that is done, the patients from the poorer will die," James said."Mr. President doesn't really want to negotiate with criminals, but he has no other choice," Gilbert said.James sighed softly. He stepped closer to Lara and the others who wer

It was a delicious and enjoyable breakfast, especially in the presence of a loved one. Caroline said the food was delicious, and she wanted to eat again tomorrow; James would gladly accompany her. James glanced at his watch, seeing that it was half past eight in the morning. Caroline had to leave so she wouldn't be late, and so did James. "I'll drive you," Caroline said. "Your office is quite far; it takes twenty minutes to get there," James said. "I can walk. You don't have to worry about me," said James. "Are you sure?" asked Caroline. James cleared his throat and nodded. His right hand lightly rubbed the woman's cheek before him, trying to convince Caroline that the woman

"No way," said James, unable to hide his surprise when he heard from Thiago that Jayden was an HG."Do you know him?" asked Klaus."He's my coworker. I never thought he was an HG," James said.Klaus nodded. He felt how hard it must have been for James to find out that one of his coworkers he knew was his current enemy.The man walked back to the long sofa. He sat down and placed his phone carelessly on the table, his expression still shocked."A few days earlier, I met with him. He said he had a reliable coworker," Thiago said."I didn't expect it to be you. What an interesting coincidence," Thiago said."SHIT!"

Lorenzo and Lara take Thiago to the second floor of James' lakeside residence. Klaus and Carlos wait on the second floor, preparing to carry out the interrogation of Thiago.From the direction of the stairs, Lorenzo appears, holding both of Thiago's hands. He brought the man upstairs with Thiago's bruised face and body."Welcome, Mr. Thiago," greeted James, standing up as he leaned against his wooden desk."Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?" Thiago asked.James didn't answer that question. Instead, he ordered Lorenzo to place Thiago in the center of the room, sitting with his feet and hands bound.He and Lara began to bind Thiago so the man could not easily escape.

The trio walked from the first floor to the second floor, where the investigation was conducted by James and his colleagues. As time passed, piles of papers and investigation documents filled almost all the tables in the room.Klaus had to admit something: the spy assignment this time was complicated and could take a long time to complete.James also thought the same, especially since the people involved in it were quite a lot with their respective tasks. The man could only hope this mission could be completed before the deadline given by the government, two years.Just as James was looking at the whiteboard with the mission information, his phone rang. James' right hand reached into his trouser pocket, retrieving his phone."Who is it?" asked Klaus, curious.

"Tch! No matter how much I ask, you will always be evasive," Issac said.The middle-aged man complained as he sighed softly. His right hand seemed to be massaging his left temple lightly, trying to ease the headache that was happening in his head in response to something as complicated as this."You are finally starting to understand me, Mr. Issac," James said.Issac fell silent right before James, the man's eyes watching James' movements. Issac sat back in his chair, as did James.He turned his head to the right, telling the two big men in black suits to leave. They, for some reason, obeyed Issac's orders."Let's keep it simple," Issac said."We'll pretend this conversation was n
