This harbor area is never quiet. There are no rules. There is no fear. There is only fun and pleasure. Port Pajang is surrounded by several locales with best-in-class ducks.
In addition, the population density in the area makes economic activity seem to never die. Food vendors sell until the early morning because of the crowds of buyers.
Lukman and his entourage arrived in Pajang early this morning. They decided to rest in one of the inns while making a plan.
"We'll divide the team into two groups. Sardi, you can choose some bodyguards to accompany you on duty," Lukman said.
Sardi chose Liam and five other bodyguards to be her team. The fourteen bodyguards were divided into two teams. Lukman's team amounted to eight people including himself, Sardi's team amounted to seven people.
"First of all," Lukman began to explain his strategy. He made a simple floor plan based on the branch roads around the harbor that might be an alternative escape route for
The portal successfully opened after a long fight Fighting in the real world is not like a movie where the main character defeats dozens of enemies in a few minutes. This is the real world. To get to that point, one must be tempered daily and even yearly.They managed to escape before the enemy on the tugboat landed."Are you okay, Liam?" asked Sardi as her eyes stared focused ahead. On Sardi's face, there were several bruises as a memento of the fight."It's okay, sir.""Don't call me sir. Just call me Brother. We don't seem to be that far apart in age. I'm 35 years old. How old are you?""27 years old, sir. Uh, Bang," Liam corrected his words."Our plan fell apart. We went home without capturing Bara and killing him. Among us, someone must have leaked this plan, or... there are traitors trying to destroy us from within."Liam did not answer. Regarding the plan to arrest Bara, he did inform Mr. Leo before acting. However, Mr. Leo has
Lukman and his entourage arrived at Adimas' house close to midnight. The journey they had made earlier in the day was quite tiring for them. Fortunately, there was no significant traffic jam.Lukman got out of his car. Liam and Sardi also got out of the car right behind Lukman. Their eyes met, Sardi gave Lukman the code to say something to Liam.Lukman winked once at Sardi. He walked over to Liam, who was still standing next to the car he was in earlier. Sardi forbade Liam to carry the goods because she knew that Liam was injured."Liam, you can sleep in the room next to the garage. Samuel isn't coming because he has some family business to attend to." Lukman offered as a token of his gratitude for saving Sardi.Unbeknownst to him, Sardi had told Lukman that Liam had bruises on his left side via text message before they arrived at Adimas' residence."No, sir. I'm going straight home tonight," Liam respectfully declined. His expression looked sincere and appreciative of Lukman's
Liam parked his car in the front yard of a small shop not far from the cemetery. It was the first coffee shop they came across on the way home.As he was about to open the car door to order coffee inside, Andini stopped him. "Let me do it. You can sit here. What do you want, Liam?""Black coffee.""Espresso or americano?""Anything."Andini got out of the car. A male barista was seen brewing coffee for a customer who was already inside. He pushed open the glass door that was always wiped and cleaned, proving that there were no spots or marks on it.As Andini stepped her right foot inside, a small bell above her head rang. The barista finally lifted her head and greeted her and showed a very friendly face."Good morning, sis. What would you like to order?" greeted the barista."Any recommendations?" Andini asked as her eyes scanned the menu.The male barista pointed to the name of the coffee shop's signature menu. "We hav
Doctor Anthony brought Liam's x-ray file to Adimas' residence. There, he explained that Liam's ribs were broken. Doctor Anthony is Adimas' family doctor who has been serving the family since Andini was a toddler.Now, he owns a sizable hospital, with patients from wealthy families, including Adimas'."So, what about the treatment?" asked Adimas after listening to Dr. Anthony's explanation."It takes about 1 to 2 months to recover. It depends on the condition of the body. Every body has a different recovery process.""Isn't it necessary to do something like surgery or something like that?""So far there is no need, Bang. The condition of the bone has not shifted and moved from its place, so it is very safe to do treatment at home."Their conversation about Liam was also heard by Andini. She eavesdropped on her father and Dr. Anthony's conversation from the lip of the stairs not far from her room."What should be done to make the recovery process faster than expected?""Just rest complet
Tonight's horizon is very black. Not a single star shows a speck of light. Adimas and his troops were on standby in their respective places. This time, he would be the one to take the life of the person who had dared to approach Andini.Bara's hideout was quite far from the residential area. It took about fifteen minutes on foot to get there. There is no way for vehicles to enter."In 10 minutes we will be entering, please be ready! Everyone must be on standby!" Adimas ordered.Once everything was ready, the ambush was set in motion. They walked slowly with barely audible steps. Adimas took the lead, being at the forefront of this attack. Adimas's body was covered in a bulletproof vest. His favorite revolver was hanging from his waistband.The sound of crickets became the background music of their journey. There were no people passing by, only reeds and trees growing in a messy manner. Each of them had worn night vision goggles. An old hut made of mahogany was visible from thirty me
Samuel was quite surprised to see that the room Adimas entrusted him to live in was occupied by someone else when he returned home to take care of some business. He saw Liam's condition, whose body was wrapped in bandages."What are you doing here?" asked Samuel."Rest. What else?" Liam replied. He was still quite upset with the first meeting that happened that time. This person in front of him was someone who judged someone based on physicality, not competence."But, this room was entrusted to me by Om Adimas." "So?" asked Liam with his innocent face.Samuel looked at the man in front of him in surprise. Annoyance began to rise in his mind, but once again he tried to explain. "You need to get out of this room because this room is mine.""You should also know that I'm not here on my own. You can ask Bang Sardi directly."Samuel rushed out of the room. Through the connection door in the garage, he approached Lukman who was enjoying his breakfast. This morning, he had an egg omlet and
A black CR-V stopped in front of a grayish-white three-story building. Shortly after, a man in his forties got out of the car. He wore sunglasses and walked into the building in front of him.His feet stepped firmly. His loafers clicked to a rhythm. At twelve o'clock, there was a staircase that would lead him to the second floor.He climbed the stairs. Arriving at the top, his eyes scanned the row of room doors visible from the front of the corridor, where he was currently standing. His gaze fell on the room on the right side of the third row.A moment later, he approached the room and knocked on the door several times."Andy, can we talk?" the man said. His ears perked up, trying to hear a voice from inside but he heard none.Inside, the occupant of the boarding room would have heard. He had no intention of opening the door. If he stayed a moment longer, the man would surely leave.The man knocked again. He was sure that someone had heard him inside."I know you're inside."In his ro
"Uncle, I don't want to go home!" Andini said to the adult man standing in front of her. She hated the man's presence. No matter how far she stayed away, she would eventually be overpowered.Without her permission, he had given orders to some of her bodyguards to clear out her belongings. Andini felt defeated, she had no power and no strength to fight back. What should she do now? Was there anyone else willing to help her? There was no one who could help her in this country. Aunt was dead. The only person who could protect her was gone from this world."You should go home, Andini." The man with square glasses was no less firm in his answer. There was no uncertainty in his eyes. "There are no exceptions. I have orders to take you home.""What if I don't want to?" challenged Andini without a hint of fear in her eyes."Don't blame me for being rude to you.""Do you want to kill me? Go ahead. I have no more purpose to live. Please kill me, Uncle. Is that what you want? To you, I'm just a
