Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Garwig, Matrix, Armistice #64

"Berlin, are you crazy?!" pekik Prawira slightly kicked a table in front of him.

The atmosphere in the living room was very quiet, there were only the three of them. Berlin decided to tell everything, including the plans and decisions, to Garwig and Prawira. Not to forget, he also discussed the letter sent by Nicolaus to him.

"You know, don't you?! That island is their enclosure, and you're going to get Nicolaus there?!"

Prawira was quite astonished and a little bit up because of the plans and decisions taken Berlin. But Berlin just kept quiet and put on a very cold attitude as if he did not pay much heed to Prawira's words.

"Calm down, Prawira!" pinta Garwig firmly told Prawira who was sitting on the sofa before her.

Prawira let out a heavy sigh, and leaned against the back of the sofa. After that, the situation was silent for a moment before Garwig finally spoke up and explained the tragedy of the murder.

"Berlin, I know you must have figured out who was behind the murder tragedy. I know how you felt when you saw the tape, and also when you found out who was behind it."

"23 years ago. At that time .. the political situation was hot, and the position of your father was a successful mayor. During his tenure, he managed to prosper the people, and even managed to make three jurisdictions establish a very good relationship with each other."

"Previously ... Metro City, Shandy Shell, and Paletown are three regions with three distinct governments. These three regions often trigger conflicts in various ways, one of which is the restriction of territory and resources. But ... somehow, he managed to solve and reconcile all those problems."

Berlin just kept quiet and listened to everything Garwig talked about carefully, especially if the conversation was about his parents. After a few seconds, Garwig resumed his conversation.

"But when your father succeeded as mayor, it turns out .. many people who apparently did not like his presence, one of the few parties was the Great Family Matrix ... who at that time was his rival in politics."

"They justify all means to bring down his success, including his family. And our situation at that time was very hot with their side, even between our side and they had a truce."

A ceasefire? Of course it makes Berlin immediately confused and wondering when he heard it. He spoke up to ask after Garwig finished her words.

"What does it mean to have a ceasefire?" he asked, wondering a few things before hearing Garwig give the answer.

Without further ado, Garwig answered the question straightforwardly and with nothing to hide from Berlin.

"Yes, maybe you expected it. The Gates Family and the Matrix Family were like cats and dogs at the time. We often clashed if met either intentionally or unintentionally, even we also experienced the loss of some family members due to the war with the Matrix that had almost no mesh."

"Like a group conflict?" chirped Berlin with a curious look.

"Yes, and maybe you ... Ashgard has also experienced it. But the difference, in this case, is the conflict between the parties who have power" Garwig replied.

Berlin nodded in understanding after hearing the answer. Moreover, he already knows who the man named Nicolaus Matrix, and how his role when Mafioso still succeeds.

"Because of the prolonged conflict, Axel Gates was your father.He decided to make a ceasefire agreement with their side, and they agreed and agreed at the beginning with his decision. He also intends to negotiate so that the conflict can end well without having to fall victim again."

"It turned out ... the Matrix reneged on the deal, and ... frontally .. they ... made an attack on this residence."

Garwig was quite difficult to speak in his last sentence, plus he could see his emotional ascetic Berlin when he heard this. Berlin's gaze was really very sharp and his expression was so cold as if he was harboring a deepest grudge.

Throughout Garwig's story. Berlin knew a few new things for him. Prawira remained silent as long as Garwig spoke.

"Is ....all that .. true and no lie?" tanya Berlin then slightly lowered her head and then slightly sighed.

"There's absolutely nothing to hide, Berlin. I can swear," Garwig replied straightforwardly.

"May I ask you one thing?" sahut Berlin raised his head back and looked at Garwig and Prawira with curious gazes.

"What do you want to ask?"

"If you'd known it was Nicolaus. Why don't you guys catch him immediately ...?!"

A few seconds of silence and silence, without any further answers from Garwig or Prawira. Berlin was still curious and waiting for that answer, even though he was willing if the question would not get an answer.

"Honestly .. we don't dare to do that, while Nicolaus still has a connection or connection with Clone Nostra." Garwig decided to go back and answer the question.

Not brave?! Just be right! Of course it was enough to amaze Berlin with these two men. Isn't it their duty and duty to subjugate people like Nicolaus? The question suddenly came to his head.

"Is it as weak as the government, especially the authorities?" chirps Berlin with inquiring intonation that seems demeaning and dismissive. His gaze was sharp and as if humbling with the two important people before him.

"I guess .. we deserve that scathing criticism," Garwig murmured with a sigh and was not at all angry when Berlin said so.

Berlin got a little carried away when talking, especially after hearing everything that was told by Garwig. He remembered his parents who he could only look at through photos.

"I think it's the right decision not to trust you too much. Thank you very much in advance, and I'm sorry for taking your time for nothing" said Berlin, then left the sofa where he sat.

"Berlin, wait a minute! I think I can help you" Garwig said and made Berlin's move to a standstill when she reached the entrance.

"Yes, although you may not trust us, but .. we believe in your decision," he continued.

Hearing this, Prawira turned her head and looked confusedly at Garwig beside her. Berlin's decision to meet Nicolaus is certainly very counter to him.

"If you want, I can coordinate your plans with my squad that is still on the island. But given the very high risk, and if anything happens it will be quite difficult to send reinforcements. Then I still strongly do not recommend you to go there, Berlin."

Berlin slightly looked back after hearing the offer that caught his attention. But not with Prawira who seems quite contrary to the offer given by Garwig.

"Garwig, wait a minute! I can't let go of Berlin to just go there. You know it yourself, right?! Maybe he can go to the island, but not necessarily he can return from there safely."

"Yes, I know. Therefore, I strongly do not recommend it, Berlin. Maybe we can use another plan?" garwig Sahut.

"No! I have decided it" said Berlin firmly and straightforwardly but without turning his body to face his interlocutor.

"Berlin, please think again! Your decision and plan to be reckless!" prawira stepped a little closer behind Berlin.

Berlin did not turn his body to face Prawira. He turned his head and glanced at the man standing behind him before saying, "sorry, Prawira. My heart and I cannot allow the killers of my parents to move freely and freely. I'll still go there."

"Garwig, please help, thank you!"

After saying so, and got an answer from Garwig who only nodded as she pleaded. Berlin immediately left the residence.

"Garwig, you're not serious, are you?" prawira asked, looking at Garwig. He was very much at odds with Garwig's decision which seemed to support Berlin's decision.

"Berlin was a stubborn person, and he was also quite a vindictive person with others who dared to hurt people who were valuable to him. Whatever we do to get in the way of his decision, I don't think it's gonna work."

"After all he won't go alone, he must have brought Ashgard with him. Then ... I'll talk a little bit with Ashgard's higher-ups to get a message across."

"You calm down, Prawira. Believe in the boy's decision! Just trust him with all the experience he has."

Garwig gave an answer to Prawira's question. Hearing that answer, Prawira could feel a little calmer, but still the anxiety for Berlin's safety was still very high.
