Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Difficult Decisions If Taken Now #48

"Boss, this is the black jacketed male identity file that Bobi gave me yesterday." Asep walked into a room belonging to Berlin, and gave the file on a table belonging to Berlin.

This morning, Berlin was at his desk. On his desk there is now a file obtained by one of his trusted colleagues.

"Boss, are you okay?" cetus Asep when he saw the face of Berlin who looked busy thinking about something.

"Yes, I'm fine, really." Berlin answered it immediately, and then grabbed the file.

Berlin caught a glimpse of the file. He can see a name that is quite foreign to him, and several other identities about people who have names written there. The man in the black jacket was Doma El Claunius.

Not just one name, but when Berlin moved to the second page. Berlin could read a name that was no stranger to him. Tokyo El Claunius's. However, there are no important things about the person named Tokyo in this file.

"The Claunius, huh? Interesting," murmured Berlin.

"It's a pity that I didn't get much of anything about the person called Tokyo" said Asep, bowing his head slightly as he spoke.

"It's okay, thank you. Now you can go out" said Berlin.

Asep walked out of the room. While Berlin actually immediately closed the file he had just received. His mind was not on the file, but was busy thinking about something else.

Berlin leaned his head against the back of his chair, and then spoke for himself. "Hmm, adopt a child, huh?" he muttered while breathing.

Flashback: ON.

Yesterday night, before going to bed.

"Related ... Akira," said Nadia.

Nadia also told at length about the arrival of Akira, Helena, and Alana to visit the house suddenly. Not to forget, Nadia discussed the call given by Akira for him and Berlin.

Berlin who was lying next to the woman just kept quiet and listened intently. He also seems to be quite surprised by Akira's calls to him and Nadia. He really did not expect.

After explaining and telling me everything. Nadia also told me about the questions Helena gave her and Berlin. Questions about what decision to make for Akira.

"Berlin, to be honest I feel sorry for Akira," Nadia muttered after finishing talking about everything. He hugged the man, and then leaned his head over the chest of Berlin's field.

Berlin confirmed the blankets he had used with his wife, who had been exposed, before he gave an answer to everything he had just talked about.

"How do you think Akira is?" berlin asked with intonation spoke so softly.

Nadia looked up a little to see her man's face, and then replied, "he's cute and adorable, he's a good and kind boy."

Berlin smiled at the answer, "yes, heck. She's really adorable" she replied before later adding, "hopefully our son will be as cute and smart as Akira, yes," he said then with one hand back landed on the stomach of the wife who was still flat.

Nadia again lowered her gaze, and gently hugged her husband's body. His head was already comfortably leaning against Berlin's chest, and it might be difficult to move from there.

"Do you not mind if Akira will one day be part of our family?" berlin asked with one hand embracing his wife's body.

Nadia shook her head and smiled, "absolutely not, if that's the way it is."

"But, I can't make a decision on that anytime soon or now. Because indeed, there are still a lot of problems that I have to solve first." Berlin then talked about the decision he would make.

Nadia smiled and was able to understand this. "Yes, I get it, I get it." He spoke as he placed one hand on the belly of the stout Berlin. When in his favorite position, he can hear and feel the heartbeat of the husband's pounding.

"Do you want to sleep in this position?" cetus Berlin asked, one hand busy playing the wife's long black hair. After being engrossed in the long hair, his hand slowly descended to Nadia's hip, as he gently dipped the woman's head.

"He'em" muttered Nadia, but did not look at Berlin at all when she replied, instead hiding her head under the neck of the man.

Flashback: OFF

Gts ... Gts ... Ht ...!

The sound of knocking on the door broke Berlin from the daydream and silence. "Lake in!" tell someone who knocks on the door of the room.

Kimmy opened the door and then said, "friends are gathered, boss."

"Well, I'll be right down" Berlin said.

Kimmy first went from there back down to the ground floor to gather with the others. While Berlin, he was still in his room before a while later will follow Kimmy.

At Garwig's residence. He invited Prawira and Boni as mayors to talk a little bit about something. Something about La Luna Island, and something about the reports he received through the squad he sent a few weeks ago.

Prawira only came alone, while Boni with some of his mayor's guards. However, some of the bodyguards were not allowed to enter Garwig's house.

Given Berlin's suspicions against those guards or guards. Garwig ordered all the guards in his house to keep the guards from entering his house, and to listen to the conversation that would take place.

Of course, separating the guards from the Mayor was not easy. There was a slight exchange of mouth between some of the mayor's guards and Garwig's guards. But the dispute was only very short, because Garwig and Boni immediately intervened to stop it.

"I'm sorry, Garwig, for the protest from some of my bodyguards" Boni said as he walked through the living room of the house with Garwig.

Garwig just chuckled and then replied, "it doesn't matter, it's a natural thing because it's their duty and responsibility to always look after and be around you." He answered so casually.

"Are you doing this because .. Berlin's suspicions some time ago? That's why you separated us so they can't hear our conversation later?"

Boni immediately guessed the purpose or intent of Garwig's actions. Hearing the reason, Garwig replied, "yes."

Heard such a short and quite convincing answer. Boni just fell silent. The view is straight forward when walking through a family room towards the back garden of the house. In his mind this time was thinking the truth about Berlin's suspicions towards his guards or guards.

"You guys have come a long time, fortunately it's under a tree, so it's not too bad I'm waiting here" Prawira said. It seemed that he was already sitting on a round table located just below from a large tree that was there.

"Hahaha, sorry, there was a little trouble ahead" said Boni laughing, then he sat down with Garwig who was also sitting at the same table.

"Thank you" Garwig told Lia. Lia lowered her head and then immediately moved away from there.

"Okay, we'll be back." Garwig opened some of the files, and let Boni and Prawira see the contents of the reports he got.

"These reports are from a special squad that I deliberately sent to the island. Looking at some of their reports, it was enough to surprise me at some specific point."

Boni took the report seriously, especially Prawira. Prawira looked very serious reading one of the sheets containing a written report that was now in his hands. There were some important points that caught his attention. These points certainly have a relationship with a syndicate called Clone Nostra.

"Heavy weapons, assault rifles, identical clothing with white tuxedos, personnel number more than fifty people." Prawira several times muttered by himself while reading the points that caught his attention.

"What do they really want?" muttered Boni with a slightly downcast look towards the papers on the table containing the important reports.

"Other than their armaments or equipment. There's one thing that's got my attention." Garwig interrupted the two colleagues who seemed to be thinking. He took a portrait and a news quote behind the files. It seems that the portrait and the news quote were sourced from an old newspaper.

In the portrait depicted, it appears the state of the island is very closed and is deliberately closed to migrants. There was a signboard that read "we balked at immigrants for a while!" it is clearly located in the main port of the island.

While the article quotation on the newspaper news only reads "La Luna Island is in maintenance". Of course, this caught Garwig's attention when reading the article.

"This news was taken 20 years ago, even the printing office of this newspaper alone has gone out of business" Prawira murmured when he saw and read the article quotes on the old newspaper news.

"What do you think, Boni?" garwig asked a glance and looked seriously at the mayor.

With an expression that seemed difficult to think about this problem, Boni simply replied, "i think ... The closure of La Luna Island 20 years ago has something to do with Clone Nostra."

"If you are, what do you think, sir?" sahut Prawira suddenly threw the question to Garwig.

Garwig looked seriously at a piece of news from an old newspaper he had obtained, and then answered the question.

"I guess, huh? If asked that, then my answer would be ... maybe .. something big will happen," he replied before adding, "Honored Mayor, please, I suggest you to prepare everything from now on!"

"Well, I will coordinate with the mayor's defense team" Boni replied.

But the answer actually got a warning by Garwig who suddenly said, "don't let your mayor's guard squad know!" garwig said firmly.

Hearing the warning, Boni recalled Berlin, who was very distrustful of its guards when they were going to talk at the City Hall a few weeks ago.

"Good!"

The conversation finally reached the end point. After all the talk was over. Boni returns with his fellow bodyguards to the town hall. While Prawira still did not move at all from his sitting position.

Garwig walked back to Prawira after he escorted Boni away. She knew her partner would want to talk to her about something.

"Garwig, what do you think Clone Nostra's goal is?" cetus Prawira immediately asked as Garwig had just sat back in her chair.

"I don't know, if it's spelled out .. there will be many possibilities as to their purpose" Garwig replied.

Prawira just kept quiet and looked like she was thinking about something. Indeed, there was currently one thing that was troubling his mind.

"Did you know about Nicolaus' whereabouts?" prawira asked with a sharp look. Garwig was silent.

Then Prawira suddenly grabbed a paper containing a record of police case reports from his pocket. He showed the paper to Garwig, and managed to make his colleague quite surprised.

"Nicolaus is with them, Garwig. A few weeks ago, they were always after Berlin and his friends under Nicolaus' orders."

"I know, because a few weeks ago Clone Nostra and Ashgard had clashed directly. From that brief war, we only had one perpetrator among the fifteen dead. However, one of the perpetrators also caught up with his comrades who were killed, right after we had intensive care for him and also had time to recite the information."

"Fifteen people, they're all dead?" Garwig was surprised at the point.

"Yes, Ashgard did it" said Prawira.

"Well, then what evidence did you get?" ask Garwig.

Prawira returned to the main subject, and then replied, "Nicolaus gave orders to them to pursue Ashgard, especially making Berlin his main goal."

Garwig nodded in understanding, and remembered one more thing about the purple-jacketed group that had also been close to taking Berlin away from the city port. He thought to himself, is it all related to Clone Nostra? And does it all have to do with Nicolaus?

"Then from that, Garwig. Maybe you can understand me who's ambitious enough to protect Berlin. But still, the child seems difficult to protect," Prawira continued before she chuckled herself after speaking.

Garwig also laughed, before finally saying, "just relax, as long as there are her friends and Ashgard, I'm sure she'll be fine."

La Luna Island.

18:00.

"Some important information we already have. Now how do we execute our plan." A man in a white jacket named Farres meets Tokyo in the garden behind the villa.

"Yes, I know, but don't be too hasty or it will be difficult later. Just relax and enjoy the process" Tokyo replied very casually.

At the same time. Nicolaus came to them both with one question. But Nicolaus did not ask. Tokyo has already given the answer.

"Nico, there's good news. I've got some interesting information about Berlin."

"Anything?" sahut Nico immediately asked at the core of the conversation.

Tokyo also gave information about Berlin and Nadia to his partner, Nicolaus. Nothing was cut or hidden at all.

"Stay ... how do you want to do it," Tokyo said after revealing the information, before adding, "or .. you can follow my way."

Tokyo's glances were really sharp towards Nicolaus who was now standing beside him. All the evil thoughts and plans filled his head.
