Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Not Sleeping #218

The night was very calm, with a cold night wind blowing gently through the sidelines of urban buildings at night. The stars and the moon are not visible in the night sky today. It was completely dark, dark, and there was no light at all in the sky tonight. It looks like the weather up there is still filled with cloudy and dark clouds, making this night feel really dark.

A group of people in red jackets were gathered in an abandoned parking building. There is not only one party with the same color, because it looks also the second party with their white color identity, Clone Nostra. A meeting in the evening, especially with a deadline of approximately twelve hours from now before the Tokyo El Claunius trial was held.

"I'll lay out a plan for the morning, and I really want you to be able to obey and work well together!" said Felix, quite ambitious, seen once from the intonation of speech that tends to be high coupled with his attitude that looks quite arrogant.

The man in a red jacket named Felix was standing in front of his comrades, between the two sides in different colors, he said, and facing towards the group of people in white clothes who were fewer in number than the people in red jackets. If asked if they were all armed? The answer is of course that question is unquestionable. Although they did not show what weapons they were carrying, no one would ever know what they were keeping behind the white coats and red jackets.

"What's your plan? Don't you know for yourself that the police won't release us for action?" clovis stood in front of his colleagues, and faced the man in the red jacket.

"You know that the number of us here is not the total, right? There is no need to worry about the police, because they are adrift with the chain of command. If we cripple the top command, then the bottom one will be confused and scattered."

"Like the children of ducks who continue to follow their mother when crossing the road, and when the mother duck was hit by a vehicle to death or missing. Then you can be sure the children will be confused to walk."

Felix spoke very straightforwardly, even he was very confident in his own opinions and thoughts about the police who would certainly conduct an escort throughout the trial.

"But before the day's action, I wanted to make sure something to you. I hope you are cooperative with us ...!" felix continued, speaking sharply and very seriously in this regard.

Clovis can witness a sharp gaze filled with ambition and greed directed at him. With his calm demeanor he spoke, "please make sure we are satisfied."

"Nearly half of our assets are already in your hands, take it easy. Our wealth and strength are not enough to put up a fight" Clovis continued, crossing and making eye contact with the man in the red jacket without fear and doubt.

Felix nodded softly and said, "it's best that you do" he said, before finally deciding to leave the place together with his colleagues.

***

At 23:23 p.m., Berlin's Residence or Villa.

On this night, the man who was now wearing a light blue nightgown was seen sitting casually in a third-floor living room. Relaxed and calm, he sat on a long, soft white sofa. The man was seen pondering with a view towards the night sky through the window in the room. The sky was very dark and dark, there was no light at all in the sky tonight.

Tomorrow is the day Ashgard takes on his first assignment. Before, though Ashgard had gone through many cruel experiences related to criminality. But the group had never worked at all under pressure and under restraint by the rules, and it was what Berlin had in mind that made it quite difficult to sleep. Although all orders and absolute directions are in his hands, but still he and his colleagues must obey all the rules.

Now Ashgard is not a group of delinquents who can freely act to do anything like before. The transition of Ashgard, which was originally just a criminal group and is now a Special Division owned by the government, is very fast. How fast the transition was, enough to make Berlin think about how to adapt his colleagues.

"Where do you think you're going, it's here?" cetus Nadia, opened her bedroom door and then stepped slowly towards Berlin who was sitting on the sofa of the family room.

"Why? Do you have trouble sleeping?" he asked with an intonation that sounded very soft and polite, while sitting right next to Berlin.

The woman then chuckled in a very gentle tone, and then leaned her head slowly on her man's shoulder as she said, "everyone must be stubborn when undergoing the things they first lived."

"Not only you, I also feel stubborn," Nadia continued by putting one of her palms on the chest of Berlin.

Berlin embraced his wife and asked, "About you're asleep?"

"Had, the boy finally dared to sleep in his own room," replied Nadia, without looking at the man as he was already comfortable with his position when leaning back.

On the third floor of the villa there are indeed two different rooms, and the same size. The location of each room is also not far because it is next to each other.

"For about the next five to six months, we'll still be staying here until the construction of the house is complete. So I hope you guys are comfortable here, yeah ...!" berlin said, with a view still staring out the window.

The mummy nodded and muttered in reply, "he'em!" and then I said, "I'm getting comfortable, and it looks like the kid is too."

"By the way, about the promise you made with Akira. You kept it, didn't you?' nadia said, recalling what Berlin had said this morning before leaving. The man promised to buy the ball for his daughter.

Berlin chuckled and replied, "I haven't forgotten it. The ball I keep in the cellar downstairs, I'll give it to him tomorrow."

"Good, if you don't deny it" said the woman, slowly hugging her body while smiling.

"I don't want to break a promise, because it's a bad thing" said the man as he slowly stroked his wife's long hair up to his back.

"Honey, bobok, yuk! I'm sleepy, and tomorrow you have to get up early, right?" nadia said, then with one hand covered her mouth as she yawned.

Berlin nodded, "yes, yuk" he said, leaving with his wife back in the room.

Fifteen minutes later. Already in the room, on the bed with a soft and comfortable mattress, and behind a thick blanket that can make the body feel warm in this air-conditioned room.

Nadia had already fallen asleep in her dream, right next to Berlin lying down. But not with Berlin itself that is still awake in the middle of the night, even up to a third of the night arrived.
