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 i

    “Because everything points to Arkan a little too perfectly,” Arga replied quietly.He slowly closed the black folder, then tapped Arkan’s photograph with the tip of his finger.“The hospital, the genetic project, the masked doctors, the military medical facility. Every piece of evidence was deliberately designed to lead us to him.” Arga narrowed his eyes. “And someone like Jamer Youghtor would never raise his children without keeping tabs on them. If Arkan were truly the mastermind, why would his tracks be left so openly exposed?”Mr. Wijaya fell silent.Arga continued, his voice growing lower.“On the other hand, Devon operates in the international logistics sector. Distribution routes. Illegal shipments. Containers without manifests. If the Anima Subiectum project required transporting babies, biological samples, or even living humans across borders without detection, Devon would be the perfect person for it.”Mr. Wijaya looked back at Devon’s photograph.“And one more thing,” Arga

    Arga clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles turned bone-white. If the mastermind possessed a hacker capable of giving Rio—an IT genius—a hard time and nearly breaching his defences, it meant they weren't just dealing with a wealthy psychopath. Instead, they were up against a syndicate backed by a massive technological infrastructure."Rio, wipe all your digital footprints right now. "Don't take any risks," Arga ordered in a half-whisper, his eyes remaining alert as he scanned the parking area. "I don't want your system becoming their next target.""Don't worry, Uncle. I've already deployed multi-layered firewalls and self-destruct logs. But for the time being, I need to go offline from your communication line until I can bypass this clinic's jammer using a more secure frequency." Rio's voice grew increasingly drowned out by static interference. "Be careful out there, Uncle. Something big is—"Krrrshhh...Silence. The signal was completely cut off.Arga lowered his hand from his

    The battle erupted beneath the flickering neon lights of the basement. The sound of gunfire echoed, bouncing off the concrete walls as the psychopath’s henchmen began to lose control. However, Arga stood his ground as bait, allowing bullets to whiz around him while his HUD system calculated every millisecond of their trajectories."Device attached! Rio, go in now!" Adrian roared after executing a tactical roll to dodge the strike of an opponent's iron pipe.[SYSTEM: NETWORK INTRUSION]Access OBD-II: Successful.Electrical Control: Overridden.Status: Spoofing the driver's cardiac vest sensor (Signal Loop)."Done! I’ve frozen the signal from the vest! You have 15 seconds before the Doctor’s backup system realizes there's a frequency loop!" Rio’s voice sounded on the verge of hysteria through the earpiece."Now!" Arga commanded.Amelia dashed forward with incredible agility. Instead of attacking the driver directly, she leapt toward the open cabin window. With a locking maneuver, she he

    Amelia dashed down the emergency stairs. Meanwhile, at the exit gate, the situation had reached a breaking point.Adrian stood firmly in the middle of the exit lane, blocking a white van that was attempting to speed away. The driver slammed on the brakes, causing the tires to screech and leaving behind the pungent stench of burnt rubber."Get out of the way, idiot! Do you want to die?!" the driver screamed, pulling a pistol from inside his jacket.Adrian didn't flinch. He spun his tactical baton with surgical precision. "You aren't taking these babies one inch from here."The van's rear doors swung open. Four burly men jumped out, armed with blades and baseball bats."Ready to engage!" Adrian reported to Rio via his earpiece.Crash!Adrian initiated the attack. He ducked as a baseball bat swung over his head, then countered by slamming the tip of his baton into the opponent's shin. A sickening crack echoed, followed by a scream of agony. At that moment, three of Wijaya’s men who had a

    Arga continued to flip through his audit files with practiced precision. His eyes moved nimbly as if verifying crucial figures, but his primary focus remained on the blue indicator in his breast pocket—wirelessly linked to his contact lens HUD.[SYSTEM: DATA ENCRYPTION & CLONING]Logistics Database: 65%... 80%...Medical Division Fund Flow: Complete.Secret NICU Patient List: Complete."Just a little more, Uncle," Rio whispered over the private comms channel. "The data coming in is insane. There's a shipping manifest labeled 'Biological Products' destined for a black-market pier north of the city. And according to the schedule, it’s supposed to go out in an hour!"Arga’s jaw tightened. He glanced at his watch. If this data was accurate, those infants were being prepared for transport right now."Done," Arga announced suddenly, his voice loud enough to startle the guards in the corner of the room.He slammed the heavy folder shut with a deliberate thud to break the silence. "Your syste

    Amelia followed Dr. Cecep toward the medical service elevator. Along the way, her sharp forensic senses picked up an unusual chemical scent far too pungent to be a standard hospital disinfectant."Rio," Amelia whispered almost inaudibly, her hand reaching up as if to adjust the collar of her white coat. "I’m heading toward the NICU. Dr. Cecep seems extremely agitated. The Truth Seeker on my system flashes red every time he mentions protocols.""Stay careful, Doctor. Stay alert," Rio’s voice replied from the other end. "Adrian is also at the hospital disguised as an office boy; he will ensure your safety. If anything happens, signal him immediately."Amelia gave a small hum in acknowledgment. "I haven’t been able to hack the hospital’s CCTV yet. Adrian will have to slip into the security room."Amelia continued walking with a steady, calm gait, even as the tension around her grew thicker. Dr. Cecep checked his watch several times; seeing the gesture, Amelia realized the doctor was expe
