The System of Justice
For Arga Pratama, being an honest police officer in this city feels like living in hell. Time and time again, he uncovers solid evidence to put powerful criminals behind bars—only to watch it all end up in the trash. The suspects? Still partying in luxury bars, protected by powerful “insiders” and bottomless wallets.
The breaking point comes when Arga is forced to turn a blind eye after the son of a high-ranking official kills someone in a hit-and-run. Sick of being nothing more than a “guard dog” for corrupt elites, Arga slams his badge onto his superior’s desk. He believes quitting is the only way to remain human.
However, the world is far from merciful.
That very night, Arga loses the most precious thing in his life. His wife suffers a miscarriage after receiving relentless threats from the syndicate he had been investigating. In the cold hospital corridor, Arga can only sit in silence, staring at the ruins of his existence. No job. No authority. And now… no child.
At his absolute lowest point, a floating screen suddenly appears before his eyes:
[The Ultimate Detective System Activated.]
[Target Detected: Those Who Believe They Are Above the Law.]
Arga quickly realizes this is his only chance to rise again. Armed with a system capable of uncovering even the faintest traces of crime, he begins operating as a shadow detective. He does not just want to fix his shattered life—he wants every bastard who ever laughed at him to experience what true justice really means.
They once bribed the police to erase evidence.
Now, not a single secret can escape Arga’s eyes.
Because to Arga, justice no longer needs laws or articles—
It only needs flawless execution.

Chapter: Chapter 34: The Veil of ShadowsTotal darkness swallowed the pier in an instant. Without light, Marten’s tactical team saw their coordination falter, but Arga knew better—they would certainly be equipped with night vision.He immediately activated the thermal overlay on his contact lenses, highlighting friends from foes in the pitch-black night."Rio, launch a reverse frequency jammer! Scramble their comms!" Arga barked, supporting Wijaya, who was limping from the previous impact.BANG! BANG!Blind fire from the tactical unit splintered the wooden crates beside them. Arga returned fire with three precise shots from his Glock-19. He deliberately aimed for a small nitrogen tank near the enemy, triggering an explosion to halt their advance."Get to the boat, Sir!" Arga shoved Wijaya onto the deck of the patrol boat, which was tossing violently against the waves.Arga dove behind the helm and reached beneath the dashboard. His fingers brushed against cold metal—the spare key. Without hesitation, he turned it, and the di

Chapter: Chapter 33Arga took a deep breath, letting the oxygen cool his head, which was nearly exploding from this betrayal. He knew the Rat Pier was a dangerous open area—a perfect spot for an execution without witnesses. But if he ran now, he would never know how deep the rot within Aegis truly went."Rio, did you hear that?" Arga whispered, his fingers tapping an encrypted code on his watch. "Mr. Wijaya is inviting me to the Rat Pier. He knows I already have the data.""Sir, it's a trap! Don't go there!" Rio's voice sounded panicked. "I can see through the satellite; there's an unidentified tactical unit moving toward those coordinates. They're not a standard Aegis team.""Exactly, Rio. I need to know who they are," Arga replied calmly. "Stay in your position. Monitor me from above. If you see a gun aimed at my head, you know what to do with that Golden Phoenix data. Send it to all media outlets and international police servers. Don't wait for my order.""Understood, sir. Take care of yourself," Rio

Chapter: Chapter 32 Cracks in the Fortress"Bara," Baskoro's voice weakened, almost like a desperate whisper. "You heard it yourself, right? Twenty-four hours. If that cargo isn't found, Marten will activate the cleansing protocol. Me, you, and everyone in this mansion—all our lives will be at risk."Arga stepped closer, wearing an expression of determined resolve that was utterly convincing. "Sir, we don't have time to lament. If Marten is the sun, then we must move in the shadows. Give me access to the backup route database. There's no way Hendri could have taken that cargo far without significant logistical support."Baskoro looked up, his red-rimmed eyes staring at Arga. "You're right. He must have a hiding place. But there's something you don't know, Bara." Baskoro took a heavy breath. "Cargo A-09 wasn't just a hundred billion in money. Inside it was the core component of Project Icarus. If that component falls into the hands of Red Viper or the government, Marten won't just kill us. He'll make sure we suffer forever."[S

Chapter: Chapter 31 The Shadow AboveArga moved with terrifying efficiency. He fired several rounds into tree trunks at specific angles, simulating a firefight from two different directions. He even deliberately tore a piece of fabric from the tactical uniform of one of Bram's guards he had neutralized earlier and snagged it on the barbed wire of the back fence.[SYSTEM: COMBAT SIMULATION COMPLETE]Forensic Confidence Level: 92%Result: Baskoro's investigation team will conclude there was a fierce confrontation between "Bara" and Bram's traitor team."Rio, clean the access logs from Baskoro's tablet. Make sure no traces of the biometric data download remain. Make it look like a system error caused by physical sabotage in the server room," Arga commanded through his earpiece."Done, Uncle. I also planted a 'Logic Bomb' virus. If Baskoro tries to access the Icarus folder within the next hour, the system will lock down completely and delete the recent activity logs. He'll think Bram destroyed it before fleeing," Rio replied

Chapter: Chapter 30 The False TrailArga breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't let his guard down even slightly. Before him, Baskoro was still gasping, his face pale as he clutched the pendant with trembling hands."Sir, this area is too risky. Come on, let me escort you to the bunker or the armored car outside," Arga said, his voice sounding sincerely protective, though his real aim was to get Baskoro away from the data center so Rio could work undisturbed."You... You're right, Bara. Damn it, how could my security system be so chaotic?" Baskoro cursed as he followed Arga's lead.After ensuring Baskoro was safely under the escort of another elite team, Arga immediately turned back. He moved quickly towards the basement, where Hendri was still waiting in uncertainty."Uncle, Project Icarus data is 80% downloaded. Don't let anyone disconnect the server in that interrogation room," Rio warned.Arga entered the interrogation room and found Hendri trying to free himself. "Stop moving, Hendri. If you want to survive, foll

Chapter: Chapter 29 The Icarus KeyArga didn't flinch. Instead, he closed the distance, letting the cold tip of his gun press gently under Hendri's jaw. His sharp eyes seemed capable of piercing the skull of the man before him."I've long since gambled my life, Hendri," Arga hissed in a very low voice. "But your life? It's on a countdown right now. The moment I turn this camera back on and call Baskoro in here, you know what he'll do to someone who made his 100 billion asset disappear just like that?"Hendri swallowed hard. His Adam's apple moved up and down, brushing against the muzzle of Arga's gun. Cold sweat mixed with the blood flowing from his temple.[SYSTEM: TARGET PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS]Condition: Extreme Fear (85%).Opportunity: Use the final pressure to collapse his mental defences."Rio," Arga called through internal communication. "How much longer can I keep the camera system off?""Thirty seconds, Uncle. Baskoro is getting suspicious because his screen is just showing a static loop," Rio replied urgently
