Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Long Night #78

Tonight has really been a long night. That is how Nadia feels. Without the presence of Berlin nearby, he felt the time went on for so long. The very quiet atmosphere of the house in the middle of the night made it a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately Nadia is not entirely alone, because there is a prospective baby in her stomach that accompanies her. It's hard to sleep tonight. Nadia decided to relax for a while on the sofa of the second floor family room, and enjoy the atmosphere of the night sky is really dark and quiet.

"It doesn't seem like it's too bright tonight, does it? The moon and its stars are invisible" he murmured as he stroked his stomach slowly, as if he were talking to the figure inside.

Every time he spoke to himself, it was as if his words were getting a reply from the figure of a baby in his stomach. Small movements he could feel, and every time he felt those movements his heart felt calmer.

In the middle he was alone and relaxing on the sofa. Suddenly his phone rang indicating an incoming call.

"Berlin?" cetusus while picking up the phone that was held next to him. But unfortunately the person who called him was not Berlin.

"Hello, Nadia. You haven't slept?" a female voice was heard through her cell phone. The voice belonged to Siska, his closest friend who he had even considered like his own brother.

"I can't sleep, hehehe." Nadia answered the question and then laughed awkwardly after being caught staying up by Siska.

"The habit of sleeping with Berlin, anyway! That's why it's hard to sleep on your own, it must be lonely, right? Ahaha!" chirp Siska and then chuckle after successfully quipping his best friend a little.

"Ah, ah, ah! Mending you here, get me!" sahut Nadia with a little annoyed intonation.

"Yes, I'm going there now!" answer Siska.

A moment later the phone call was terminated. Nadia smiled and chuckled at herself after being engrossed in a phone call with Siska. But that cheerful expression was only for a moment, before then turning into filled with worry.

"Berlin, what are you doing there? What the hell is going on over there? Are you all right?" these questions continue to pass in the mind.

***

Local time shows at 00:00 which means it has entered into midnight. The condition of the forest is so scary, very quiet and only sounds that come from the wind through the trees.

"Berlin, looks like we're stuck here." Prime spoke with low intonation as he approached Berlin.

"We're only halfway through, less than 250 meters away. But it seemed like it would be very difficult, because ..." Asep stopped and turned his head in the other direction of the forest.

There were a lot of people monitored even more than twenty people who stood guard at a forest border. There was a tall fence made of concrete, and the entrance to the fence was heavily guarded by gunmen from the Nostra Clone.

"We will die easily if we attack frontally" Kimmy said.

"Where are the other colleagues now?" ask Adam.

"They are in their respective positions, depending on what the next orders we will carry out," Faris said.

Not only guarded by humans, but the border is also monitored by several surveillance cameras at every corner. Asep can easily be aware of the existence of these cameras.

Berlin seemed to be silent and thinking. But Asep interrupted his composure by saying, "Boss, I can tap and confirm their surveillance cameras, and maybe also turn off their electricity completely. As long as I know where the power source is."

"Maybe I know where it is" Mavi interjected.

Asep again unfurled the map he carried on the ground, and was witnessed by his colleagues as well as Prime. Mavi pointed to a location where the power source was located.

But it is true what the 26-year-old said. They had to pass through Clone Nostra's strict guard on the border wall. Not only that, they also have to pass several surveillance cameras in every corner of the wall.

"The risk will be too high" muttered Prime.

"Being on this island too, the risk is already high" Berlin said, looking quite indifferent to what Prime said.

"Kim, call your friends to gather! I have a plan" Berlin asked Kimmy.

Kimmy carried out the order, and then began to call his comrades one by one. Without waiting for a long time, all of his comrades had now gathered in front of him. Berlin also conveyed a plan that came to his mind, and the plan was also known by Prime and one other member of the Flix franchise.

"We will move just as the night wind blows, slowly approaching the wall and ambushing and taking down every guard! Don't breathe for them to put up a fight!"

"I need the security forces to be at some point outside the border wall!"

"After Asep disables the electricity, we'll go in and head straight to the villa there."

Berlin passed the plan on to his colleagues. Plans that sound crazy and reckless, but that's what they have to take and do.

"What do you mean by 'attack and finish'? Is just immobilizing enough not enough?" cetus Prime asked.

Berlin picked up a knife from a small brown bag carried by Adam while answering the question. "Of course, don't be disinclined by criminals like them, or we will be depleted by them" he said.

"Western .. kill or be killed. Between those two choices, which one will you make?" berlin approached Prime for a moment when throwing such a question, before then just moving away from him and did not want to wait for an answer from Prime about the question.

Prime was not surprised and not surprised when faced with Berlin's attitude like that, because he already knew and had known him for a long time. He chose silence and would just follow where Berlin was moving. On the other hand, he did get a task from Garwig to supervise and guard if something bad happened to Berlin.

"Nicolaus, I've come for some things about the tragedy," Berlin's inner self with enough burning ambition to meet the man.

"Excuse me, sir, your tea," a maid walked up to Nicolaus with a tray of tea. He approached Nicolaus who seemed to be sitting alone on the balcony of the villa.

The waiter served Nicolaus the cup of tea he wanted, and then took a quick step to leave as if frightened.

Nicolaus was completely indifferent to the person who just delivered his order. He did not care about the presence of the servant. He cares more about what he does next.

Tokyo along with Karina had left the island this evening during the large-scale robbery. Now there is only Nicolaus along with the men left by Tokyo for him.

"So this is how it feels to have power, private islands, private villas, and men and slaves," he murmured and in his last sentence he looked at the people who seemed to be working to clean his garden by force. On their wrists and feet were chains that shackled their movements.

"Berlin, I await your arrival," he continued, grinning cynically with his two sharp eyeballs as if he were plotting cruel schemes.
