1095 DAYS BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE
Chp 38: Surprise

"General, can you consider this again?"

"It's all decided, Captain Reynald.."

Reynald did not know what else to do to get a sentence waiver from the top brass of the military.

Even though he had done his best just for the sake of the military, but now his rank as a captain had to be revoked...

"But given the contribution I have made to the military, I should have been given the opportunity once again to make amends." Reynald said.

"If the mistake you make does not cause the public to fret, then I will give you a leniency in punishment. How big of a problem do you think you're causing?"

"......"

Reynald did not reply, but merely bowed his head regretfully.

"It's not just letting someone steal the precious crystal, it's also putting your gun on ordinary people and making the rest of the restaurant panic because of your ridiculous actions, because of your actions it is also the name of the military to be tarnished in the eyes of the community.."

"......"

".... We can't do anything for you, Reynald.."

Reynald still did not reply, there was indeed a slight sense of disappointment in him, but he also realized that his mistakes were not that easy to forgive..

Geck.. Geck... Geck..

Shortly thereafter, General Grinz's door was knocked from the outside and General Grinz immediately allowed the man to enter.

It seemed that he already knew who the person who knocked on the door of his room was...

The door opened and showed a blue-haired girl who was about 17 years old and wearing a military uniform that perfectly matched her body.

"Welcome to Indonesia Miss Kinata, I hope your trip goes well" said General Grinz graciously.

Kinata did not answer but merely nodded his head.

"W-How about you sit down first and have some tea with us." said General Grinz nervously.

Although Kinata was very young, but his status in the Japanese military was not arbitrary, even a General like General Grinz had to be respectful to him.

"I don't have much time.just hand over the case files so I can get it done quickly." said Kinata.

Reynald looked at it with great admiration for his fluent Indonesian language skills.

"Oh, of course." said General Grinz.

He then looked at Reynald and told him to get the files for Kinata.

"Oh, another one. I also want to investigate the case of the explosion that killed the head of the Verdiansyah family and his son last night, can you?" said Kinata suddenly.

General Grinz raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you want to investigate the case?"

"Nothing matters. I just feel like the case is connected to the crystal theft case." Kinata said.

Since Kinata had already made up his mind, there was nothing more General Grinz could do but follow the young girl's wishes..

A little while later, Reynald came with the file requested by Kinata and immediately wanted out because his existence was not needed.

However, Kinata suddenly called out to him.

"Hey you.."

Reynald faced Kinata in confusion.

"Can I help you, Miss?"

"Are you the person who is directly opposite to Mr. Z?"

"I-that's right. I've indeed been face to face with that person..."

Kinata was silent for a moment, he seemed to be thinking about something before speaking next.

"..... I need you on this case.. Be my secretary."

"Eh?"

...[.1032 Days Before The Apocalypse...

"It seems that lately there have been many dangerous events in our city, yes." said Ayunda saw the news aired on TV.

He is currently having breakfast as usual with his beloved son who else if not Zhara.

"Hm.it was just an accident." said Zhara.

"But even so still dangerous.What else last night you came home so late that made me worry, what if you were all right?"

"I'm sorry about that, I also promise I won't repeat it.." Zhara said regretfully making her mother worried.

"It looks like you have to find another job." said Ayunda suddenly.

The head of the Verdiansyah family who owned the restaurant where Ayunda worked has been killed in a terrible tragedy, because the incident was also the restaurant where Ayunda worked was immediately closed.

"Would you go together to the restaurant where mom works?" zhara said to take her mother.

"Eh? but for what? isn't it obvious that the restaurant will be closed?" ayunda said in confusion.

"It doesn't hurt to look around, does it?"

"E-em.. okay.."

Because of Zhara's compulsion, Ayunda finally agreed to go to the restaurant where she worked with Zhara.

They both took a taxi and arrived in 30 minutes...

Arriving there Ayunda was completely confused and surprised by what he saw, it turned out that the restaurant was still open and not closed as he expected.

Zhara led her mother into a restaurant that looked more majestic and more luxurious than before.

Not only did the architecture in the restaurant take Ayunda by surprise, but also the waitress who seemed to have been replaced in its entirety, they also looked more professional than the previous waiter.

Then, something strange and senseless was done by the entire servant..

They all lowered their bodies in unison and spoke firmly welcoming Ayunda.

""Welcome Miss Ayunda!!""

Ayunda was of course very confused and nervous at the same time when he saw the incident.

"S-It looks like you guys are wrong, Z-Zhara, let's get out of here." said Ayunda frantically.

Before Ayunda could take Zhara away from the place, a girl suddenly came and greeted her.

Ayunda turned around and to her surprise she saw who the girl was.

"A-You're Miss Mila from the Futuristic Generation company!" ayunda said with great surprise.

True, it was Aurel's secretary that Zhara first encountered before buying shares of Generation's Futuristic company..

Although Mila was only Aurel's secretary, but her status was still arguably very high compared to Ayunda, therefore Ayunda immediately lowered her head respectfully

Zhara who saw that immediately looked at Mila sharply as if she wanted to prey on him...

"E-em, N-nona Ayunda, there's no need to be that polite to me." said Mila nervously.

"I'm just here to let you know that Miss Ayunda will now be promoted as the manager of this restaurant." Mila continued.

"Eh? What do you mean?" ask Ayunda to be confused.

This restaurant was owned by the Verdiansyah family, so the person from the Generation Futuristic company had absolutely no right to recruit someone in that restaurant.

Mila seems to know Ayunda's confusion and explains it.

"Actually this restaurant has been purchased by the Futuristic Generation company, and because of your perfect job at this restaurant before, we decided to make you a manager at this restaurant.."

After explaining that, Ayunda finally agreed to become a manager at the restaurant even though it would take time to adapt...

"W-Have I done it right, Mr Zhara?" mila whispered to Zhara nervously.

"Hm... Not bad... At least I won't eat you for now." whispered Zhara in Mila's ear, even biting her a little..

'Hiks.does one day I be eaten.' Mila's mind sadly..
