"Sister!" julia shouted as she approached Julius.
"Can't you knock on the door before you get into someone's room?"
"Oh yeah.... Not as usual."
"What are you doing here?" julius asked as he continued packing his goods.
"I heard you got a new mission from papa."
"If you come to ask to be brought by-by seems unable. My mission this time is on an island where there is only a forest. Nobody sells souvenirs there."
"A little disappointed but I didn't come here because of that. I'm just dropping off a list of people who will likely be at the auction."
Julia submitted a number of papers containing data on several people from influential families in various countries. Julius received the paper and skimmed through everything.
"I was able to find out about them. Most of them are just families or young masters from wealthy families, it was just that the person accompanying them to the auction was a professional bodyguard who was deliberately hired at a high price to keep them safe. There are also those who hire assassins, you know," explained Julia.
"good. Looks like all I have to watch out for is their bodyguards."
"Jay. Of all the bodyguards I think they are not much better than Uncle Qazi. There's only one you have to beware of."
"Who?"
Julia reclaims the paper Julius holds and shows him a piece of paper containing one name.
"Death knell?"
"Yes. He is a bloody hit man whose rumors have recently cast a shadow over the underworld. His ingenuity killed dozens of people by relying only on a knife. Every time she comes there will be a bell rustling sound and the person who hears it can certainly be life-suffering," explained Julia like someone who tells a bedtime horror story.
"He's a hit man or even a tooth fairy?" julius said expressionlessly.
"There are already many lists of victims of the Death Knell atrocities. And some rumors circulating from people who've seen it firsthand say that this Death Knell is a young girl who's probably about the same age as us."
"Yes, yeah. If I met her, I'd say 'Will you date me?'" joked Julius.
"Didn't you believe what I said?"
"I'd rather have seen it myself."
"Yes already. Just look at the auction later. Is she really a young girl or not?" Julia crossed both her hands on her chest.
"I guessed that she was just a short woman. Maybe it's because of his size that people mistake his age."
"But it would be nice if she was a young girl. I really want to meet him. I want to come along" Julia said with a pleading gaze.
"Come?"
"Yes," Julia replied with a big smile on her face.
"Then ask Papa for permission. If papa lets you come."
"really? All right then," cheerfully a little boy, Julia passed away to see his father.

Elsewhere in the capital. In the Rodgers family. Mr. Rodgers had just asked his son to come to his study. As soon as his son came, he immediately prepared him to sit before him. There is something Mr. Rodgers to his son.
"What's it gonna take, pa?"
"Carl, you've been trained as a child as a state secret agent and now you've even officially taken junior agent training" Mr. Trump said. Rodger.
"Yes. I want to be like papa. Being a great agent and catching world-class criminals" Carl says.
"Then are you ready to go on your first field mission?"
"really? I'm very prepared then," replied Carl excitedly.
"That's my son's new. Your first field mission is to infiltrate an auction on an island not recorded on the map."
"Trs. Rodgers, are you sure you asked the young master to carry out the mission?" ask a man who is Mr. right-hand man. Rodger.
"Very sure. After all, this mission was just looking for information about the auction. In order to keep her safe, I will accompany Carl to the mysterious island."
"What could have happened? It's just a regular auction?" carl asked a little curious. He had no idea about the auction.
"Yes, it's just a regular auction. You better get ready soon if you want to come."
"alright. I went to get ready first" Carl got up from his seat and left.
"I suggest it is better not to invite the young master to carry out this mission. He is still not an expert and needs to learn again. That place is dangerous..."
"I understand if you're worried about your student," Mr. Trump said. Rodger. "But this is a great start to introduce him to the scope of the real villain. How dangerous and cruel they are. I want Carl to see it firsthand, he's able to mentally prepare himself before he's really attached to being an agent."

After lunchtime, Julius and Qazi set off for the city's harbor. There was a ferry waiting for them there. The ship with a number of crew and skipper ready to take them anywhere. The ship is the possession of Veliana. Just this morning the ship was escorted to the port to conduct checks and prepare needs before leaving. Julius and Qazi therefore preferred to go directly to the port rather than wait for the ship to return to the Chrysanthemum villa. Daniel, Lina, Julia, Adelia and Adelio take Julius' departure. Just as Julius expected, Julia was not allowed to go with him at all. Julia looked really disappointed.
After making sure everything was complete, the ship was ready to depart. The white-painted ferry slowly moved forward leaving the port. The journey taken to arrive at the island in question requires at least 23 hours of sailing. Really long time. Julius spent his time this afternoon relaxing on the deck of the ship. At least Julius could enjoy this as his vacation. For now he did not want to hear anything about the mission. While raising his cellphone, he still wants to relax for a moment while enjoying the blue sea that is salty carried away flying along with the gusts of wind that hit hard.
