The rain continued to fall heavily into the night. While the troops were still searching for clues to Arthur's whereabouts, Althon and the candidates were having dinner in the room. They barely chatted after today's test. The candidates were relieved to see Paul and the guards. They quickly put their plates away and stood up to greet Paul. "You guys can go back to enjoying your dinner. I just wanted to check on you." Paul smiled, approaching Eric and his subordinates. The candidates watched Paul, refocusing on enjoying the meal. They were still guessing about the fifth test for today.The music sounded beautiful. The waiters arrived with trolleys filled with many dishes and drinks. "I feel like today was a very tiring day," Althon said, opening the conversation. "Time goes so fast. We've been together for almost a week. I'm pretty sure we know each other already.""You're right, Asghar." Randy took a sip of his drink. "I honestly felt inferior when I saw all of you. I wasn't even
"What?" Ryan was again surprised. "Don't give orders as you please, asshole! I'm not a subordinate who has to do everything you want!""Reno asked you to come. If you still refuse, I'll order my subordinates to beat up all your men," said the masked leader. Four cars entered the courtyard. The masked men immediately got out of the vehicles and lined up neatly. The Red Sting members were shocked and walked backwards. "We don't have time to deal with you and your members. If you continue to refuse, we will use harsh means. I will start counting to ten. One, two, three, four...."Ryan glanced at his members, staring at the masked men. The masked men were scarier than the group of slaughterers the other day, and all of his members would be battered in their hands. "Eight, nine ....""Alright, I'll come with you. You guys have to promise to train my troops." Ryan turned to Ronny and Gon. "You will accompany me to the Talu Kingdom, Ronny. Gon, you'll be in charge of the group.""Wh-what?
Theo re-entered the car, letting out a long breath. He grunted in annoyance when several pistols landed on his head. "You can get those damn guns out of my head. I'm not lying, and I'm not leaving.""Unfortunately, I can't do that, Senior." Zack put the cuffs on Theo's hands. "I expect you have a good reason why you're doing this. You're obstructing a search, and that's a capital offense."Theo turned to the side of the road, closing his eyes. "Wake me up when we get close to our destination."The group of cars began to drive to the destination. The troops in different areas began to move to the same location while the rest were still searching. The special forces still blocked Arnold, Aaron, and Andy's troops.The rain suddenly poured down heavily. The electricity suddenly went out, followed by strong winds and thunderous lightning. Nevertheless, the group of troops continued to move towards the location. At the same time, several cars were moving on the road. Taka snorted in annoy
At the same time, Althon was still struggling with exams. He and Philip shared the task of completing the assignment. "We have five minutes left in the exam," Eric said. Philip grunted in annoyance as some documents fell to the floor. He tried to contain his annoyance, being as calm as possible. Althon quickly picked up the documents and handed them to Philip. "You need to calm down, Philip. You won't get anything if you follow your emotions."Philip took a deep breath, glancing at Althon, who was focused on his work. "How can you be this calm, Asghar?""Shouldn't we be calm in all situations? We'll only regret something if we do it in a hurry. Everything has its own time. It doesn't matter if we're just a little late.""You are a pain in the ass, Asghar.""I thought you would act selfishly in this exam, but you cooperated with me. I've heard a lot of bad things about you. I also know what you approached me for at the beginning of the exam."Philip paused for a moment. "The higher
Althon contacted Anthony, waiting impatiently. Happiness was evident on his face. "I need to know how Grandpa is doing before I go to the Talu Kingdom."Alan handed Anthony the cell phone. "Young Master has just completed the Star Company CEO selection, Master. He is contacting you now.""Althon has fought very hard." Anthony received the call, smiling. "Grandpa, I'm sorry to call you at this late hour. How are you doing now?" Althon asked once the call was connected. "I'm fine, Althon. Have you heard anything about Taka?""I'm on my way to the airport, Grandpa. I want to see Taka soon to get him information about Mom and Dad. However, I wanted to say goodbye to you first. I honestly miss you a lot.""You don't have to worry about me, Althon." Anthony turned his head as Abraham and Adam entered the room. "You should be careful and well-rested. We'll see you soon."Althon felt relieved after speaking with Anthony. He took a deep breath, taking in the view of the city. Ali said, "You
The rain had completely stopped. The troops were getting closer to the location all the time.Theo was under heavy guard, smiling. "This day has finally arrived. I'm grateful that I'm still alive today."Theo glanced at Zack. "Aren't you and your subordinates tired? You guys keep pointing knives and guns at me. I already said that I won't run away. Instead, I'm taking you to Taka."Zack and his subordinates were completely ignored. "You son of a bitch! I should have kicked you harder back then." Theo laughed, glancing at the forest. "We're getting closer. The rain has also completely stopped. This is a good sign."The troops from various locations merged into a single unit. They moved in one command through the forest and cold air. Ronny observed the group of vehicles, staring unblinkingly for some time. "I've never seen this many troops before.""Don't make me upset and embarrassed, Ronny." Ryan punched Ronny in the stomach. "You need to stay alert. You're going to meet up with Bos
Arthur and Adele hugged Althon tightly. They cried, releasing the longing they had felt for so long. Althon fell silent, staring blankly ahead. All the chapters of his life instantly sprung up around him. He froze in place, trying to ensure this wasn't a dream. Althon only thought he was going to meet Taka. He wanted to know about his mother and father. However, fate gave him something better than just information: it reunited him with his parents. "Dad, Mom." Althon began to speak after a few seconds of silence. He returned Arthur and Adele's embrace, crying so hard that his body shook. He could feel the sincerity and longing of his parents. Ali, Raka, Zack, and the guards shared in Althon, Arthur, and Adele's happiness. The wind picked up amidst the silence, bringing everyone memories of the past. "I finally meet you again, Althon," Adele observed Althon closely, stroking her son's face. "You've grown into a wonderful man. I'm sure we'll meet one day. Thank you for fighting so
"This is our first breakfast as a family." Althon could not hide his happy face at this moment. He could not express his happiness in words. He had lived a very hard and solitary life so far, but his dream was to be together with his parents as a family. "We feel the same way, Althon. We always prayed that one day you would return and we could be together as a family. Today is the day when all our prayers are answered," said Adele. Adele gave Althon a few pieces of meat. "You must eat well, Althon. I cooked this meal for you.""I will certainly eat it heartily."Althon called Ali after breakfast was over. He knew Ali was keeping secrets from him. Ali entered the room, bowing. "You've grown into a fine man, Ali. I last saw you when you were five years old. You made good on your promise to me," Arthur said. Althon wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Ali, I want to know how Grandpa is doing now. I hope you're not lying to me.""I regret that I had to lie to you, Young Master. I did it
