The portal successfully opened after a long fight Fighting in the real world is not like a movie where the main character defeats dozens of enemies in a few minutes. This is the real world. To get to that point, one must be tempered daily and even yearly.
They managed to escape before the enemy on the tugboat landed.
"Are you okay, Liam?" asked Sardi as her eyes stared focused ahead. On Sardi's face, there were several bruises as a memento of the fight.
"It's okay, sir."
"Don't call me sir. Just call me Brother. We don't seem to be that far apart in age. I'm 35 years old. How old are you?"
"27 years old, sir. Uh, Bang," Liam corrected his words.
"Our plan fell apart. We went home without capturing Bara and killing him. Among us, someone must have leaked this plan, or... there are traitors trying to destroy us from within."
Liam did not answer. Regarding the plan to arrest Bara, he did inform Mr. Leo before acting. However, Mr. Leo has
Lukman and his entourage arrived at Adimas' house close to midnight. The journey they had made earlier in the day was quite tiring for them. Fortunately, there was no significant traffic jam.Lukman got out of his car. Liam and Sardi also got out of the car right behind Lukman. Their eyes met, Sardi gave Lukman the code to say something to Liam.Lukman winked once at Sardi. He walked over to Liam, who was still standing next to the car he was in earlier. Sardi forbade Liam to carry the goods because she knew that Liam was injured."Liam, you can sleep in the room next to the garage. Samuel isn't coming because he has some family business to attend to." Lukman offered as a token of his gratitude for saving Sardi.Unbeknownst to him, Sardi had told Lukman that Liam had bruises on his left side via text message before they arrived at Adimas' residence."No, sir. I'm going straight home tonight," Liam respectfully declined. His expression looked sincere and appreciative of Lukman's
Liam parked his car in the front yard of a small shop not far from the cemetery. It was the first coffee shop they came across on the way home.As he was about to open the car door to order coffee inside, Andini stopped him. "Let me do it. You can sit here. What do you want, Liam?""Black coffee.""Espresso or americano?""Anything."Andini got out of the car. A male barista was seen brewing coffee for a customer who was already inside. He pushed open the glass door that was always wiped and cleaned, proving that there were no spots or marks on it.As Andini stepped her right foot inside, a small bell above her head rang. The barista finally lifted her head and greeted her and showed a very friendly face."Good morning, sis. What would you like to order?" greeted the barista."Any recommendations?" Andini asked as her eyes scanned the menu.The male barista pointed to the name of the coffee shop's signature menu. "We hav

A black CR-V stopped in front of a grayish-white three-story building. Shortly after, a man in his forties got out of the car. He wore sunglasses and walked into the building in front of him.His feet stepped firmly. His loafers clicked to a rhythm. At twelve o'clock, there was a staircase that would lead him to the second floor.He climbed the stairs. Arriving at the top, his eyes scanned the row of room doors visible from the front of the corridor, where he was currently standing. His gaze fell on the room on the right side of the third row.A moment later, he approached the room and knocked on the door several times."Andy, can we talk?" the man said. His ears perked up, trying to hear a voice from inside but he heard none.Inside, the occupant of the boarding room would have heard. He had no intention of opening the door. If he stayed a moment longer, the man would surely leave.The man knocked again. He was sure that someone had heard him inside."I know you're inside."In his ro
"Uncle, I don't want to go home!" Andini said to the adult man standing in front of her. She hated the man's presence. No matter how far she stayed away, she would eventually be overpowered.Without her permission, he had given orders to some of her bodyguards to clear out her belongings. Andini felt defeated, she had no power and no strength to fight back. What should she do now? Was there anyone else willing to help her? There was no one who could help her in this country. Aunt was dead. The only person who could protect her was gone from this world."You should go home, Andini." The man with square glasses was no less firm in his answer. There was no uncertainty in his eyes. "There are no exceptions. I have orders to take you home.""What if I don't want to?" challenged Andini without a hint of fear in her eyes."Don't blame me for being rude to you.""Do you want to kill me? Go ahead. I have no more purpose to live. Please kill me, Uncle. Is that what you want? To you, I'm just a
At exactly eleven o'clock, as the sun began to move upwards, Mr. Leo arrived without his uniform. He wore a baseball cap, a plain zipper, and jeans. His outfit was certainly not his everyday style. He immediately sat at the corner table facing the highway.The corners of her eyes kept flicking outward, as if waiting for someone to arrive. The atmosphere in this cafe was unable to attract her attention. It appeared from the look on his face that he was expecting someone to come. Someone who would determine his mission in the near future.The heat of the sun today was able to penetrate the dark glass next to Mr. Leo. Mr. Leo's arrival was noticed by the café owner who was none other than one of his subordinates in the force.Mr. Leo gives Max the freedom to do his work wherever he wants, considering that his work portion does not require him to always be in the office and he needs internet access and qualified IT equipment, which is why he opened the café. Duty will not always be there,
Four o'clock in the morning.Andy packed up. Everything he needed was stuffed into a medium-sized backpack. He left the useless items behind. Before actually leaving, Andy combed his eyes all over his room. This room had become his home for the past few years. There was something lingering in his mind as he fully realized that today was his last day here.The cell phone in his pocket vibrated. There was an incoming call from Mr. Leo."Ready?" he asked on the other side."Hmm.""In that case, you can come down now. I'm already downstairs."She quickly locked the door and put it down and wrote a letter to the boarding house manager.The items inside can be used by the next tenant. AndyWhen he went downstairs, a black car with its engine running was waiting for him. "We have to go to A&B Guard first. Mr. Hasan is waiting there. There are three guards who will go with you," Mr. Leo explained as he star
Soekarno-Hatta Airport is never quiet. People pass by and are busy looking for what they don't need to look for. From Liam's perspective, the majority of those here intended to travel. His mouth unintentionally hissed softly, life is indeed unfair. Those who have family stay away, those who don't have family look for those who have left.But isn't life unfair? There are many people who have lost no one. Meanwhile, those who are surrounded by loved ones want to leave because they feel the need to have time alone."Remember, when Miss Andini arrives, tighten security!" said Sardi, the head of the Adimas family bodyguards. Sardi's words snapped Liam out of his reverie."Yes." replied all his subordinates in unison.Together with six other people, Liam waited for the arrival of Andini and her entourage at the front of the airport. Liam's eyes continued to observe those who came in and out of the airport. Not infrequently, he saw people's smiles expand when they realized that someone was w
