Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Cons #197
Ashgard keeps moving, not even remembering the time. It was already night, even past the predetermined deadline. Throughout this day, some information and evidence had been obtained. The evidence as well as the information obtained refers to the Red Rascals who allegedly still have an attachment to Clone Nostra.
Tonight, at eight. Berlin re-assembled with his comrades in the living room. For a time, he had pulled back all the previously divided squads. But Ashgard still has someone who will continue to make moves out there. A person trusted and entrusted by Berlin itself.
"Your time has reached its limit, so I invite you to rest and enjoy tonight. Good work for you on the first day of our preparation, and you managed to bring some valuable information and evidence."
Berlin, sitting on a single-seat sofa, spoke to his friends who were relaxing in their respective positions in the living room. Some of them were also sitting on two long sofas, and some were standing and leaning on them.
"Do we not want to find out anymore? Especially at night, you know for yourself what the criminal world is at night, don't you, boss?" cetus Kent is leaning behind a long sofa occupied by Kimmy and Sasha.
"Yes, I quite agree with what Kent said" Kimmy said.
"How about you split the task up with us again?" cetus Adam's.
Of his three active confidants, only Asep remained silent and stood right next to the sofa that Berlin was sitting on. It was as if the man knew what Berlin would answer to those questions, and he seemed to be preparing to listen to some arguments and arguments that could happen.
"You take it easy, because I've sent people to keep moving out there." Berlin answered all the questions and refuted the advice of his colleagues. Berlin's answer was uttered with a very calm intonation.
Hearing the answer, of course immediately made his colleagues gathered there wonder. Berlin sending people? Wh who? Of course it becomes a question, especially considering that all members of Ashgard this time tonight are also fully gathered in the living room.
"Who are you talking about?" suhut Kimmy, staring curiously mixed suspiciously at Berlin.
"You're sending people?" timpal China.
"Wait on! You never talked about this 'man' with us, boss. Or have we talked about it together, and I'm the only one who didn't?" cetus Adam, speaking with a sharp and serious gaze.
"Explain to us who you're referring to!" kimmy said, speaking with firm intonation to Berlin, and managed to make the situation quiet and feel quite cold.
"Yes, if there's a new member, why are you covering it up?" timpal Sasha's.
"You're keeping a secret behind us, yeah ...?!" kina's gaze stared intently at herself suspiciously.
After the answer given by Berlin. The average man who dared to speak up and ask directly to Berlin was his female colleagues, while those who were men were more likely to be silent except Adam.
Asep who was standing right next to Berlin was just silent, slightly bowed, and then heaved a heavy sigh. Because for now only he knows who the person meant by Berlin, other than Berlin itself who gave the person a task.
"The person I was referring to was Carlos Gates, and I gave him the job of informant" Berlin replied, calm and in a cool manner as usual, although his current position was being suppressed by almost the entire sharp gaze of his comrades.
"Carlos?!" sahut Kimmy, wide-eyed and surprised by the name mentioned.
"You're not lying to us, are you?" sasha sat next to Adam.
"It's not April, anyway. So ... what he said was not a lie" said Asep who stood right next to Berlin. His attitude was also the same as Berlin, so calm and flat, because indeed he had been surprised earlier than his colleagues.
"Asep, did you find out about this?!" faris asked, looking suspiciously at Asep.
The gazes of some of his colleagues had moved to Asep, before finally looking back at the sharp and suspicious Berlin who was sitting next to Asep.
"Well .. I'm not surprised like you guys, because I was surprised at the beginning" Asep replied.
"Berlin, explain it to us!" kimmy said, although with intonation that sounds flat, but has a very firm impression even ruled.
Berlin sighed, but did not complain about this seemingly hot situation. Long before this situation happened, he had already guessed that a situation like this would happen. He plans to bring and introduce the figure of Carlos Gates, which actually does not need to be introduced even his colleagues already know, but the introduction as a formality of new members.
But it turned out that the plan could not be realized, and made Berlin have to move to the second plan, which is to speak directly and ready to accept various hot arguments from his colleagues.
Although long before the situation occurred, Berlin had prepared some words and dialogue that he would use to explain. But it wasn't as easy as he thought. Those words felt like they were hard to say.
"Berlin, don't shut up!" kimmy.
"How do you explain it to us?" adam's timpal.
Two questions from the two people Berlin believes the most, certainly makes it more difficult to organize vocabulary before speaking.
"I know what surprises you, and what worries you. But ... I recommend not to overdo it in such worries." Asep suddenly interrupted the conversation, and opened the conversation with a very calm attitude, while staring one by one the faces of his colleagues.
The talk given by Asep, certainly gave Berlin a little quiet time before he spoke up and explained everything.
"I'm sorry, because I never talked about Carlos joining our group. I decided it was because of a few things." Berlin began to speak up, calmly explaining himself slowly.
"What you need to know before I explain everything. Carlos Gates has been under contract with me, even long before we left for La Luna Island, both in the context of work and personal, and in the contract there are many rules that will be ready to curb him. So he cannot act arbitrarily, let alone harm myself or those close to me. Because if he did, then his terrible threat would be the death penalty."
