All the candidates were surprised to hear Paul's voice. They immediately got ready. Their servants rushed to tidy up.Althon entered the room first. "They were resting when Paul gave the order. I want to see how alert they are."Philip entered the room, surprised to see Althon. "Asghar arrived before me, even though his room is quite far from this room. I thought I was the one who arrived first."Reynald and Randy entered the room almost simultaneously, followed by Lily, Sasa, and two other female candidates. There was silence in the room. Paul said from his room, "You gathered in less than fifteen minutes. You deserve to be in the final eight. Unfortunately, Star Company only needs one candidate to become CEO."Paul added, "You are going to a place. You can leave the building and board the ship. I'll meet you in a new place."Althon and the candidates left the room, walked the courtyard and the beach, and observed their surroundings for a while. After the fourth test, they were more
Arnold read a message from his subordinate. He scanned the images one by one, gritting his teeth. "You bastard! Aaron is the culprit behind the shooting incident! He paid a shooter to finish me off!" Arnold threw the table and broke the urn. "I will definitely finish you and your family, Aaron!" "Dad!" Alex rushed into the room after hearing the commotion from inside. He arrived with several bodyguards. The bodyguards immediately spread out around, checking the situation. "Dad, are you okay? Did that damn shooter try to hurt you again?" Alex asked. "Shut your mouth!" Arnold snapped as he sat on the sofa, taking a long breath. "Get out of my room right now!" "Dad," muttered Alex as the staff left the room. He walked to the door, letting out a long breath. "Wait, Alex. You stay in this room," Arnold said without turning around, "I know who sent the shooter. Aaron is the culprit. He may have also sent his men to harm Andy. Aaron is probably acting out his accident." "W
The ship pulled up to an island. The candidates woke up as soon as they heard Paul's voice. They rushed off the boat, scanning the dark surroundings."Where are we now?" asked Lily. "We seem to be on a strange island again." Sasa twisted her body as she surveyed the surroundings. "I'm pretty scared right now. This island is scarier than the previous one.""It's three in the morning and we're on an uninhabited island now." Reynald laughed. "I'll never forget this experience for the rest of my life.""There's a building near the beach. I'm sure we'll get information there," Althon said. Philip said, "Mr. Paul didn't say anything, other than to tell us to get off immediately."Philip and Reynald looked at each other for a moment.Althon and the candidates walked towards a building. It was hushed. Only the sound of crashing waves and night insects could be heard. "There's no one outside, and the building looks very quiet and dark," Randy said as he scanned the surroundings.Althon and
The figure of a man in a black mask ran down a long hallway, throwing anything nearby to block the path of Raka, Reno, and the others. The man turned left, smashing through the window and hovering in the air for a while. He landed on the ground perfectly, throwing something towards the window. Just as Raka, Reno, and Zack's squad arrived, a ball exploded and released smoke. Raka and Reno jumped down while holding their breath, chasing after the masked man as fast as possible. The troops rushed after them from behind. The masked man ran between the rocks, jumping down the cliff without hesitation. He landed on a tree as Raka, Reno, and the troops arrived at the side of the cliff. The troops immediately chased after the figure, jumping over the cliff and landing on some trees. Shortly after, gunfire was heard, followed by a flock of birds moving away. Raka watched the chase from the side of the cliff, clenching his fists tightly. He picked up Zack's call: "That masked man isn't Tar
"What do you mean, Philip? It's not the time to determine the leader among us now. We need to find clues as soon as possible. I'm sure you know what is happening to us now," said Reynald."Are you thinking of becoming the leader?" asked Reynald.Althon and the candidates looked at Philip. "I know what is happening to us now, so I propose choosing a leader. We have to work together now and need a leader for our plans to go smoothly. We will only waste time if we work individually," Philip explained. "So, who do you think should be the leader, Philip?" asked Sasa. Reynald smiled. "Whoever the leader is should be the smartest, most experienced, and most unyielding of us all. We can choose the leader based on the order in which we win the exam."The candidates looked at Philip and Lily in turn.Philip said, "I agree with you, Reynald. We should choose a leader who has at least won the exams."The candidates felt the atmosphere begin to heat up. Lily looked down, squeezing her
Althon took the snake outside the room, placed the beast into a large barrel, and sealed it tightly. When he entered the room, all the candidates were reading the message. "I have put the snake in a large barrel. Stay away from the barrel and never open the lid." Althon checked his cell phone. A sound came from the shore. The candidates rushed out, seeing a ship pull up. Eric and his subordinates descended the stairs. "Good morning, candidates. I'm sorry that I couldn't wake you up. I had to go somewhere with my subordinates. Have you had breakfast?" asked Eric as he approached the candidates. The candidates looked relieved when they saw him and his subordinates. However, they were curious because they had not seen Paul and his guards since arriving on the island. "We had breakfast, sir," Lily said. "I'm very relieved to hear that. I certainly want to make sure you are satisfied during your selection. After all, the good name of the Star Company must be well maintained."Paul wa
"You haven't answered my question, asshole! Who are you, and how did you get my cell phone number?" Adam clenched his fists tightly. "Answer my question!""I'm sure you know me, sir."Adam pondered for a long time, walking into the room. "Tell me now, or I'll find you and ....""I'll be waiting downtown at midnight tonight. It would help if you came alone. I'll give you the details an hour before the meeting.""What an asshole!" Adam grunted in annoyance as the caller hung up. "He didn't tell me who he was even though I asked him many times."Adam paused, scanning the room for some time. He glanced at the drawers, hurrying to find something. "That man's voice made me think of someone."Adam opened one drawer after another, turning to the cupboards and safe boxes. "Where did I keep that thing? How could I forget?"Adam left the room and entered the secret room. He opened drawer after drawer, smiling when he saw a photo album. Adam sat on the sofa, opening one by one until he found a
"I don't understand what you mean, sir. I didn't keep anything secret. I'm sure you know I followed Mr. Paul's orders," Eric explained. Ali clenched his fists tightly. "I will not spare a traitor.""And I have betrayed no one. I am loyal to Master Anthony as well as to Master Paul. If you accuse me of treason, you must show proof."Ali watched Eric intently. "I know Mr. Paul is acting strange. He's hiding something, and that's not what he should be doing, especially if it's to the detriment of Young Master and Master Anthony.""I'm not treasonous. I'm just doing my duty. You certainly know what I did while I was in this place."Ali pressed the button on her watch. The holographic screen instantly opened, showing Paul's face. "Don't test my patience, sir.""Eric has nothing to do with our problem, Ali. Please don't interfere with his work. Once the selection is complete, we will talk. Be patient.""That's taking too long. I want you to talk now.""Unfortunately, I can't do that. If yo
