Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Pros and Cons #176

"I didn't think you guys were still thinking about me. Shouldn't you two be preparing for the Tokyo court hearing of El Claunius and his minions?" with an astonished expression, Carlos asked Prawira and Garwig straightforwardly.

Prawira leaned against the sofa she sat on, next to her was Netty, while right across from her was Garwig sitting next to Siska. The four people turned their heads slightly, looking in the same direction, the figure of Carlos sitting on the single seat sofa.

"The trial has been scheduled, it has been prepared in such a way, and only to be carried out. So I came to see you here, in addition to my intentions, Berlin also asked me to meet you and talk about this, Carlos." Prawira answered a question that made Carlos astonished by his leisure

"Why didn't he meet me himself, look at me?" carlos said, spontaneously asked because of his curiosity.

It was with ease that Siska gave the answer to that question. The girl said, "the man has a family, and this is the weekend, plus this morning is the schedule of his trial about the appointment or adoption of children" said Siska, while inscribing a sweet and friendly smile.

"Alright," said Carlos, takzim.

"But take it easy, you'll definitely meet him in a few days. I can confirm that, because Berlin left me a business card, and he asked me to give you this business card." Prawira reached into the left pocket of the brown shirt she was wearing, took a small card from inside, and gave it to Carlos.

Carlos received the business card with his right hand, and immediately read a name written on the plain white card. A blue inscription that read "Ashgard" can be read clearly. He did not really understand what he meant, so he again asked spontaneously by saying, "what does this mean?"

Garwig and Prawira raised both of their shoulders simultaneously while receiving the question. They both raised their hands and replied, "the answer is on him."

"Yes, if you meet him, then you will get the answer to your question" Prawira said, smiling faintly, hiding the answer to the question, which she already had, because he had talked a lot with Berlin a week ago at the time of the writing of the certificate.

Carlos snorted a little annoyed and said, "why not go straight to the point anyway? You must know the answer to my question, right?!"

Garwig just laughed, as well as Prawira who then chanted, "then, there are no exclamations. That's what Berlin wants anyway."

"Okay, okay ...!" sahut Carlos, leaned back, then sighed. The man looked very obedient, there was no counter in him to all the decisions made by Prawira, Garwig, or even Berlin.

Time goes on, bringing a very cool and beautiful afternoon atmosphere with orange sky. In a remote parking lot at a point of location located on the slopes of the city hills. Ashgard seemed to be meeting there, without the presence of Berlin. They used that very quiet place, especially very far from the residential area, to chat with each other.

Kimmy, Asep, and Adam. The three men who have been Berlin's right-hand men since Ashgard's founding. They gathered all their colleagues, and talked about the role of the work they would do in the next few days.

"Garwig has announced his schedule, and we can move and work in the next few days. But before that, the man will take us to see the location of the Special Division headquarters that will later become our headquarters." Kimmy spoke, leaning against a white sedan car, with a tablet that she carried with her one hand. All of his colleagues relaxing in the area listened carefully to what Kimmy had to say.

"Headquarters?" cetus Rony, leaning against a wooden fence at the edge of the parking lot.

"Then what about the old workshop we once had? Even we already think of it as a home for Ashgard," said Bobi, standing right next to his girlfriend, Kina, leaning on her gray sedan.

"Berlin had thought for the place, because it was positioned very much in the center of the city, and could be easily found by ordinary people. Most likely, that unused workshop will become a real workshop someday." Adam answered Bobi's question, relaxed and calm.

"You mean, it's really a repair shop that manages to fix vehicles, right?" aryo asked, sitting in the middle seat of a black SUV, with the door open so he could talk to his colleagues outside. The man seemed to want to confirm his assumption, after hearing what Adam had said.

Adam slightly turned his head, nodded slowly, and said, "it's most likely like that."

"Wait, wait! The headquarters that will be shown to us is not a state-owned facility?" cetus Faris, without turning his head, leaned against the other side of Bobi's car with both arms folded over his chest.

"Yes, right! And we'll get that facility" Kimmy replied.

Some of his colleagues look quite stunned by the news that Kimmy brought, especially about the facilities they will get, they seem really enthusiastic about the curiosity that seems to have been stacked like a mountain.

"It looks like I need to make things clear to you" said Kimmy, stepping a little further, and standing right in front of his colleagues who were relaxing in their most comfortable position.

Kimmy took a deep breath, before then saying, "keep in mind that you should be wiser in using the various facilities that we will get! Keep in mind also that you must be wiser in acting, in any form especially when we are doing an action or on duty!" he said, ketus in order to be heard by all colleagues, firm, sharp, and very serious.

"It should be remembered, too, that we are no longer a criminal group that is free to act at will without the use of heart and mind" Adam said, with a calm intonation but can be heard by all his friends.

"That means there will be no freedom for us?" tirap Salva.

"Yes, do we always have to be restrained by the rules?" timpal Galang's.

Asep who had been sitting in the car because he was busy playing video games on his phone with the window glass open, suddenly laughed a little at the two questions. He opened the door, got out of the car, and then leaned back as soon as it closed. He was standing right next to Salva who was leaning on the side of his car.

"Freedom? I think we'll still get that. Then, constrained by the rules? I don't think that's gonna happen." Asep spoke with a very flat, calm, and cold tone, answering both questions at once. But his words are not finished. Asep then spoke, "command ... or ... The top notch in the Special Division that we will fill, will remain in the hands of Berlin. Ashgard is Ashgard, only there will be some changes in the principles and rules of the group, and it aims to achieve something better than before."

"Berlin, however, betrayed his own principles" Galang said, and the statement was supported by Salva who later said, "and we can no longer commit criminal acts and acts as freely as before."
