Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Only Light Threat #209

After finishing his business at the City Hall, Berlin decided to rush home. He separated from Kimmy and Carlos on the way, due to a different car ride. While he was one car with Asep who drove.

Along the way, Asep had hardly stopped wondering what to do the day after the trial. The man also seemed curious as to what Berlin plans for Ashgard for that day.

"We won't know what the situation is like that day, so we're basically going to do a preliminary plan. The next plan will follow, depending on the situation and conditions." Berlin spoke, answering all the questions Asep posed along the way.

"You're right, anyway. The factor that determines the plan is implemented is the situation and conditions on the field," Asep said, then sighed with focus forward while driving.

"Then how about tomorrow? Isn't it in terms of readiness, we're ready enough? It is enough information that we cantongi, it is also complete the necessary equipment," continued Asep, had turned to Berlin who sat next to him, and then returned to focus on the hills in front.

Berlin turned to his colleague and then replied, "we'll see tomorrow."

"In terms of readiness of knowledge and material, we can be considered very ready. But not necessarily mentally we are all the same, and also ready for this first mission," continued Berlin while turning his gaze back to the front.

"Mental's? You mean ... mental colleagues are still not ready, is that it?" sahut Asep, frowned, confused.

"Yes, looking at their situation lately with Carlos," replied Berlin, leaning back as he folded his arms over his chest and then continued to speak, "I have enough doubts about our compactness."

"If so, what will you do? Moreover, considering that the trial day was very close, and the preparation time was left one day." Asep suddenly threw the question very seriously, without even glancing at Berlin in the slightest when asking.

"Just wait for tomorrow" Berlin briefly replied, with his calm and flat demeanor.

Fifteen minutes are spent travelling from the City Hall to the Berlin residence or villa. Arriving at the residence, Asep immediately left after finishing delivering Berlin safely.

On the porch of the house, Akira looks open the big door with his excitement while exclaiming, "Papa!!" then followed by Nadia who then stood right at the entrance door.

"Basic, Papa's late!" said Akira, firmly while pursing his tiny lips. Instantly his carefree expression turned fierce, which actually seemed funny because of his childish attitude that depicted him being upset and angry with Berlin.

Berlin chuckled, smiled, and lowered his head as he said, "sorry, yes. Papa was late for dinner together" he said, stroking his daughter's head gently.

"Come, speed! Soup will make Papa I'm finished, you know!" cetus Akira, grabbed, clasped one of Berlin's hands and then immediately pulled it in. While Nadia just smiled warmly at the behavior of the two of them.

Berlin rushed straight to the dining table, along with his daughter who had been holding and pulling one of his hands. On the table there is already a bowl of soup that is still warm, and the portion looks deliberately prepared earlier for him.

Five minutes passed, and the man seemed engrossed in his soup while it was still warm. While Nadia only accompanied him by sitting across from him. Berlin several times his focus was shifted to his wife who looked like she wanted to reveal something to him.

"If it's the food that the food sees, why am I the center of attention ...?" cetus Nadia, propping up her chin with one of her hands on the table.

"You always managed to get my attention, anyway!" sahut Berlin, then continued to scoop his soup sauce.

Nadia simply clucked her throat, sighed and then said, "habit ...!"

Berlin only chuckled at the flat face of his wife, and then smiled and asked, "from the look on your face, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Nadia turned her head first to the living room, making sure her fun-loving daughter was sitting on a long sofa reading her picture book, before finally answering briefly, "there is, but later," she said, sounds slow.

Fifteen minutes later, Nadia never spoke and talked about what she wanted to talk about, but Berlin itself was finished from the meal. Berlin got up from his dining table, took his bowl and cup to the sink, and then washed it. While Nadia, the pregnant woman was still sitting in her chair like she was waiting for the right moment to speak.

"Mama, I'm playing on top, yeah!" akira exclaimed, then slowly stepped towards the stairs, and climbed up the steps slowly.

"Yes, nine o'clock should be in the room, yeah! Can't be too late! Be careful going up the stairs, don't run!" nadia Sahut.

"okay!!" sahut Akira exclaimed, he was almost at the end of the second floor stairs.

After the child was not seen anymore, and the sound of his steps had slowly faded over the stairs. While his hands were busy with his dirty bowl still being washed, Berlin asked, "do I have to wait any longer?"

Nadia shook her head, answering, "doesn't have to."

"I wanted to tell you, if I had gotten a call from an unknown number," she continued, still sitting sweetly in her chair.

"Unknown number?" Berlin finished with his busy life, then turned around and went to the sofa of the living room followed by his wife.

"What did that man say to you? Tell me! Because it seems like whatever the man says, it seems quite disturbing to you," Berlin continued, sitting on the long sofa side by side with his wife.

Gradually Nadia told Berlin what she had heard from the unknown contact. Not to forget also herself to show the contact and unknown number to her husband.

"She suddenly called, gave me my full name, and relayed some messages aimed at you. I don't really understand, but I definitely feel it's a threat" Nadia said.

In the grasp of one of Berlin's hands was his wife's cell phone, and he could see for himself the very strange number and the contact who had no photographs and any information in his description column.

"The man said not to obstruct any action they would take, if they did not want any lives to be lost. He also said that he would not hesitate to find, target, injure, and even finish off anyone who gets in the way. That's what he said" the woman told Berlin.

Berlin nodded slowly and said, "i believe what you're saying, and just take this as a mild threat."

"Don't worry, it's just a verbal threat and nothing more" he continued, turning his head and embracing, then managed to make his wife lean her head right on his shoulder.

"Well, even though it still doesn't make me get away from this worry," said Nadia, seen still holding a sense of worry, in contrast to Berlin which actually looks much more relaxed and calm than him.

"He knew my full name, which I did not know. It's weird!" continued Nadia, while slowly wrapping both hands on the body of the man.

"The names are also criminals, they can grab whatever information they want" Berlin replied, casually.

Unlike Nadia, Berlin really looks very calm. In fact, he was not surprised at all when he first learned about the threat phone. The man seemed to have gotten used to such things.

"I know the task given to you is not an arbitrary task, so I beg you to be more careful, yes ...!" said Nadia, looking closely at the eyes of Berlin with a very close distance.

Berlin smiled, nodded slowly and replied, "yes, I know, you don't worry too much, yeah ...!"
