Arga was slightly stunned seeing the amount of money displayed on the system screen. Could Arga have spent Rp500,000,000 on a single mission? This far exceeded his savings from years as a police detective. Apparently, the system not only wanted Arga to become physically stronger but also financially capable, allowing him to move without any limitations."Baskoro isn't stupid," Arga finally broke the silence while staring at the target's photo. "If he's laundering that much money, he definitely has a private security team. Possibly former soldiers or mercenaries.""Exactly, Arga," Wijaya interjected. "He hired the Black Shark Group. They have a shoot-on-sight protocol for anyone entering Sector 4 without permission."Amelia, who had been happily examining her new laboratory, turned with a serious expression. "In that case, I need to prepare field medical kits for you. If there's a shootout, you'll need more than just regular bandages."Arga clenched his fist. The sensation from the con

"You're watching, aren't you?" Arga thought coldly.The steel door on the second floor, leading to a dark, exclusive balcony, burst open, shattering the silence in the gym. A man in a grey suit without a tie stepped forward to the balcony's edge. He didn't applaud, but his sharp gaze locked onto Arga."Enough", the man's voice echoed through the gym's internal speaker system. "Bring him upstairs. Now."The spectators and other fighters immediately bowed their heads, making way for Arga as if he were a king who had just ascended the throne. The trembling host from earlier now scurried over to Arga."Please... Mr Bara. Mr Hendri wants to see you immediately," the host said, his tone drastically changed to one of extreme politeness.Arga picked up his leather jacket, draping it over his shoulder without expression. As he stepped down from the ring, the system's blue screen reappeared in his peripheral vision.[SYSTEM: SIDE MISSION COMPLETE]• Reward: +200 system points added.• Reputatio

"Sir, hold on!" Arga commanded in a voice that brooked no argument.Baskoro was startled, but before he could ask anything, the sound of a smoke grenade explosion deafened them right at the front of the convoy. Thick white smoke instantly swallowed truck A-09 and their SUV.ScreechTires squealed loudly as Baskoro's driver slammed on the brakes. Their view ahead was completely obscured by the artificial fog. Hendri had already drawn his pistol with trembling hands, while Baskoro, clutching his briefcase and tablet, cursed loudly."Damn it! Red Viper!" Hendri shouted. "Bara, finish them."[SYSTEM: PHANTOM STEP ACTIVATED]Movement speed increased by 50%.Effect: Leaves residual afterimages in opponents' vision.Arga didn't wait for a second order. He immediately got out of the car and sprinted away. In his vision, thanks to Perception Attribute Level 4, the enemy positions appeared as glowing red silhouettes behind the smoke."Positions at 11 o'clock and 2 o'clock!" Arga shouted to the

Baskoro threw his tablet onto the mahogany table, the device sliding precisely to where Hendri stood. The screen displayed an urgent message from the ship's captain out at sea."Cargo A-09 is empty. Cargo A-09 is empty. Only contains mannequins and sandbags. This shipment is a trap. The boss is furious!""Who was responsible for the final loading?!" Baskoro roared, his face, previously flushed with alcohol, now pale with rage. "Hendri! You were supervising the crane operator when the lights went out!"Hendri trembled violently, his eyes widening as he stared at the tablet screen. "M-master, I swear, I saw the container go in! Bara was there too! Bara, say something!"Arga placed his whiskey glass down slowly, letting the clink of glass against the table create extra tension in the room. He looked at Hendri with a cold stare, then turned to Baskoro."Master Baskoro," Arga said calmly. "When the lights went out earlier, I was busy holding back the advance of the Red Viper groupimeter. B

Arga 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
