Chapter 41 : The Midnight Pursuit
Arga supported Marten through the violently shaking technical corridor. Thick concrete dust choked their lungs, while the sound of the remaining Reapers' footsteps began to fade, trapped by the security system that Rio had locked down on the 75th floor.When they reached the last remaining freight elevator, Arga pressed the emergency button. The elevator creaked and slowly descended toward the tower lobby."That data…" Marten coughed, fresh blood staining his expensive shirt. "If you take it to court, Wijaya will clean his own hands. He has enough money to bribe the judges, the prosecutors, even the entire system.""You don't need to worry, because your dirty business will soon vanish, and you will soon face the consequences!""Let me see my daughter one last time, please, Bara," Marten begged.The elevator doors opened into the pitch-black main lobby. "We'll see about that later. Stop rambling!"Arga led Marten to one of the cars and pushed him inside. He then quickly got into the ca

"Escaping with style", Arga answered flatly, his right hand skilfully sliding a 40 mm grenade into the portable launcher.The spotlight from the Reapers' Blackhawk helicopter locked onto Arga’s SUV, blinding his vision. The roar of the rotors was deafening, competing with the scream of the car engine as he pushed it to the limit toward the edge of the pier."Rio! Divert the helicopter's thermal sensor protocols to the cooling containers on the left! Now!" Arga shouted through an encrypted link."On it, Uncle! Spoofing the targeting system in three... two... one!"Instantly, the helicopter's spotlight shifted slightly, giving Arga a clear line of sight. He rolled down the driver's side window, letting the night sea breeze hit his tense face.RATATATATAT!The helicopter’s .50-calibre machine gun began to bark. Giant bullets tore through the asphalt behind them, missing the rear tyres by mere metres."Marten! Get your head down if you still want to see your daughter!" Arga barked.Arga y
Chapter 43 : The Invisible Snare
Knock! Knock!The door opened, and Sarah appeared with a smile, greeting her husband.“Finally, you’re home. You haven’t been back for days,” she said.Arga stepped inside and closed the door behind him. “I’m sorry. There were many things I had to settle,” he replied.Sarah smiled at Arga as she helped him take off his jacket.“Rio already told me. Even though he’s young, he seems more sensitive to these things than my own husband. He always kept me updated, saying you were finishing this and that mission, which is why you couldn't come home,” she said, walking further inside with Arga following behind.“Forgive me, Honey. It’s not that I’m insensitive; I just want to protect you. I didn't want a repeat of what happened before—you and my family being terrorized,” he explained to his wife, who was placing his jacket on a single sofa in the living room.“Alright then. What would you like to drink? I’ll whip up some food as well. It’s been days since we’ve had a meal together, hasn't it?
Chapter 44 : Intoxicating Smells and Invisible Spiders
“It smells amazing,” Arga remarked as he stepped out of the bedroom.“Dinner is ready. Come, sit down,” Sarah said, busy arranging the food on the dining table.Arga pulled out a wooden chair across from Sarah. The aroma of stir-fried beef and his wife's signature sambal hit his senses. For a moment, he let himself drown in this warmth, even as his mind was being battered by a far-from-trivial problem."Thank you, Love. You really know how to welcome me home," Arga said as he took the plate Sarah offered him.Sarah sat down in front of him, resting her chin on her hands while watching Arga take his first bite. "You look thinner, Arga. Were you just eating instant noodles or bread out there?"Arga chuckled softly. "Fieldwork never promises gourmet meals, Sarah. If I have time, I eat. If not, well... that’s just how it is."“You never change, Arga. Eating should be the priority. If you’re weak from hunger, how can you do your job? You must always make an effort to eat,” his wife lecture
Chapter 45: Shadow of the Predator
He donned a sleek, black tactical suit hidden within a concealed wardrobe, then toggled his Neural Link Earpiece to maximum alert."Rio, status of the targets?" Arga whispered, his voice barely audible over the hum of the night wind."Yogi and Rahma are still inside the B-Tower Penthouse of the Mahendra Apartments. Security is tight, Uncle. There are six armed personnel in the corridor and a laser sensor system active on the windows," Rio replied."So, they’re likely Gideon’s captives. Gideon is probably looking for a scapegoat to clear his own name," Arga muttered, certain that the movement of funds into Yogi, Rahma, and Sarah’s accounts was a deliberate frame-up."Exactly," Rio agreed. "The data I just decrypted shows Gideon is constructing a narrative. He wants to destroy Yogi’s reputation as a detective by making him out to be the mastermind behind the new Tartarus distribution network, with Sarah as his financial manager. If they are caught tonight or tomorrow, Gideon will likely
Chapter 46: The Calm After the Storm
Arga arrived back home and quickly changed out of his gear. He approached his wife, who was still peacefully asleep on the bed. A soft smile touched his lips as he slid in beside her, pulling the woman who had become his entire world into a warm embrace."Everything is safe now. There’s nothing left to worry about," Arga murmured, kissing the top of Sarah's head. It didn't take long before he, too, surrendered to a deep, peaceful sleep.The next morning, Arga woke up and immediately looked for his wife."Sweetheart?" Arga called out as he stepped out of the bedroom."Oh, hey, love. You’re awake? I’ve made breakfast and your favourite coffee," Sarah said warmly."Thanks, Sarah." Arga walked over to the television and switched it on.At that moment, a massive news story was breaking, a series of high-profile arrests involving numerous parties linked to the Tartarus Project.Arga stood silently in front of the TV, dressed in casual loungewear with a small towel draped over his shoulder.
Chapter 47: The Vanishing Trail
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Commander Wijaya?” Arga asked, his eyes fixed on the scene where security guards were repeatedly shoving the protesters away.“Yes, Arga. But we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. We need to talk to that couple to get the full story,” Wijaya replied.“I agree. Let’s wait until they leave the hospital grounds,” Arga said, his gaze intensifying as he monitored their every move.Arga and Wijaya remained in the shadows of a large tree near the sidewalk, keeping enough distance to avoid triggering the suspicion of the hospital security, who seemed unusually aggressive.[SYSTEM: TARGET MONITORING]Target: Married Couple (Subjects A & B).Activity: Hospital security is forcing them into a black MPV parked at the curb.Risk Analysis: Physical pressure detected on the wife’s wrists. This isn't a standard dispersal; it’s a forced relocation."Commander, look at that," Arga hissed. "They aren't just being kicked out. They’re being forced into a car with no offici
Chapter 48: The Missing Trail
“Thank you for helping us,” said the man currently sitting in the back of the car.“If it weren't for you, we might not have made it out alive,” he continued, wiping away tears while embracing his sobbing wife.“You’re safe now,” Arga said, glancing back. “We saw you standing in front of the hospital demanding your child back. What exactly happened?” Arga asked, probing for information.The man looked hesitant, glancing at his wife, who was now drying her eyes.“That hospital... they kidnapped my baby,” the wife suddenly sobbed.“Kidnapped? But how is that possible?” Arga asked. He had already activated a voice recorder to capture their story.“Only two weeks ago, I gave birth via C-section at that hospital. But they told us our baby had jaundice and a weak heart, so he had to stay for intensive care. At first, we could still visit him in the nursery, though only from a distance. I was hospitalised for three days before being discharged. Every evening, my husband would go to the hospi
Chapter 49 : Mission: Traces of the Missing Infants Begins
"Rio, have our digital identities ready within the hour. I need a profile as an external financial auditor to infiltrate Hartex. Amelia, make sure your credentials as a forensic doctor from the central medical board are flawless. They need to feel intimidated by your presence, not suspicious," Arga instructed in a cold, measured tone."Leave it to me, Uncle," Rio replied, his fingers dancing nimbly across a holographic keyboard. "I'll slip your names into the official visit schedule. By the time you reach the front gate, their system will recognise you as legitimate VIP guests."[SYSTEM: OPERATION HARVEST PREPARATION]Target A: Hartex Property Headquarters (Arga).Target B: Medika Sejahtera Hospital - Neonatology Unit (Amelia).Primary Objective: Establish physical root access to allow Rio to hijack the internal servers.Equipment Status: HUD Contact Lenses (Active), Micro-Signal Transmitter (Standby).Arga stood up and put his jacket back on."One more thing.

Chapter 50 : The Cat and Mouse Game
Arga walked firmly across the polished marble floor of the Hartex Property lobby. Each step of his shoes produced an authoritative click, creating the intimidating aura necessary for his role as a senior auditor.At the reception desk, a neatly uniformed woman greeted him with a professional smile, though her eyes betrayed a hint of nervousness at Arga’s rigid demeanour."Good morning. I am Arga Dirgantara, the external auditor appointed by the board of commissioners," Arga said in a deep, expressionless voice. "I believe my visit schedule was entered into your system five minutes ago."The receptionist quickly checked her computer screen. "Ah, yes, Mr Arga. My apologies for the delay in confirmation. Please, let me escort you to the executive elevator. The Operations Director is currently out, but you have been granted full access to the twelfth floor as per instructions."Arga gave a curt nod. As he walked toward the elevator, his HUD contact lenses continued to work, mapping the po
