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 31 The Shadow Above
Arga 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 30 The False Trail
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
Chapter 29 The Icarus Key
Arga 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
Chapter 28 The Fall of Hendri
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
Chapter 27 Seeds of Doubt
"Sir," Arga called, making Baskoro turn. "The situation here is still hot. I suggest you get back in the car. Let me ensure the transfer to the ship goes smoothly with Hendri."Baskoro chuckled, patting Arga's shoulder. "You're right, Bara. Security is the priority. Hendri, make sure the captain departs immediately once the cargo is on board. I'll wait at the safe point."As Baskoro's car moved a few metres away, Arga stood beside Hendri, who was giving instructions to the crane operator."Hendri, there's movement by the stack of containers to the west," Arga said suddenly, pointing towards the darkness far from their position.Hendri immediately became alert, aiming his weapon's light in that direction. "What? Are you sure? Team two, check the west area!"As Hendri's and the guards' attention were diverted, Arga touched the nearby dock control panel. Through the hacking device in his pocket, Rio immediately took over.Bzzzt!The main spotlights in the loading area flickered and then
