Secret Missions
3rd Test*

William finally rested in the room that had been provided. He was nauseous, his body shivering and dizzy.

William couldn't sleep that night. He couldn't even call anyone for help.

William's body was sweating profusely, he had never felt this pain before. That night, William finally exhausted and sprawled on his bed, bare-chested and wearing only trousers.

Sergei and Yuki break into William's room, which is asleep. Secretly, Yuki shoots a tracking device on William's back.

William flinched, but he fell asleep again. Yuki glanced at Sergei who was smiling sideways at her. Sergei immediately checked the tracking device mounted on William's back through his tablet.

"Yep, safe" he said confidently and turned away from William.

Yuki followed Sergei behind him. They both went to Axton's room where he was still awake with a woman beside him feeding him wine in bed.

"How's it?" axton asked as he stroked the woman's back.

"He's still having the effects of the drug. We've installed a tracking device and activated it. So, you still want to test it?" ask Sergei to make sure.

"Of course, involve him in our mission tomorrow without his knowledge. Just tell me if it's his third test," said Axton, who opened his mouth again to receive a mouthful of wine from his woman.

"alright. Sergei was the one who accompanied him, I don't want to" said Yuki refused.

"Why?" asked Sergei confused.

"I promised Lysa I'd accompany her to training at the military camp and she said there would be a birthday party there. I can't refuse him, he's my best friend. I also don't want to find trouble with Mrs Vesper" Yuki said with a lip.

"You're either on my side or on Vesper's side, Yuki?" axton looked annoyed.

"Of course I'm on your side. It's just that you involved me in the agreement with Mrs Vesper. You chose me. You know the rules, if Mrs Vesper asks me to come I have to come. I refuse, then all your agreements with him will be void. You want to be like that?" tanya Yuki reminded.

"Haish, if it wasn't for you being so good at fighting, I wouldn't have chosen you" said Axton, upset by the woman's gentle stroking of her head.

"Of course he's great. Therefore, I was courting her," Sergei said staring at Yuki full of intent.

Yuki smiled obliquely, he blushed in embarrassment.

"Hey, don't date in front of me. Go there, bitch!" groused Axton.

Yuki and Sergei finally leave Axton's room.

They were both given the task of supervising William and the five Axton bodyguard candidates who would later fight against Vesper's children as one of the conditions following the selection of prospective board members.

Since Vesper returned to power after being overthrown by council members, Vesper has become increasingly fierce and assertive in ruling. He doesn't trust anyone.

As an apology to the board members, they appointed Vesper again as the legitimate chairman of the board.

After Vesper's death, the 13 Demon Heads suffered a setback and many mafias died because they could not fight back against the troops or military agents of the government.

When Vesper returned to power, the entire combat fleet he had without the knowledge of the council and the world military, making the government that was after him choose to resign and not disturb him.

Vesper had disappeared for 5 years, not knowing life or death. Even when he reappeared, many mafia do not believe that it was him because it had changed its appearance.

However, Mr. Robert, Ivan, Martin and Han finally gave evidence that the woman in front of them was Vesper.

Plus Vesper disappeared again for 3 years. Han took the interim position of chairman of the 13th Demon Heads Council.

However, by the time Vesper was found and returned to the chairmanship, he had changed a lot. All the mafia in the ranks of 13 Demon Heads adored his age which began to twilight.

Although Vesper was getting assertive and fierce in his lead, but he never said rude again and was more polite in his attitude.

Vesper's attitude turned soft, often praised and easily smiled like Mr. Charles, but still liked luxury goods and money.

The bitter experience packed in loving-kindness of those around him, made Vesper change a lot.

***

That morning, William woke up because he felt someone was next to him. William who slept on his stomach was trying to wake up and turn his body.

He was surprised because Sergei who was next to him was smoking a cigarette and just glanced at William at a glance.

William nodded and sat down to rub his face. He was surprised that his body was no longer sick. Dizziness in his head is also gone, he does not nausea anymore.

William immediately cleaned himself up and prepared. He left his agent style. William only wears tight plain shirts and jeans and boots.

He exits the room and meets Sergei who is waiting for him in the car.

As William walked up to him, he was surprised to see Axton bodyguards carrying several body bags stuffed into the ambulance.

William looked at him carefully as he walked closer to Sergei.

"Did anyone die last night?" ask William who is now standing in front of Sergei.

"Yes, the candidates who passed the selection yesterday. Now there's only you, the boxer and the gunner" Sergei said, smoking his cigarette and throwing it to the ground.

William spontaneously stepped on the nipple that still has embers of fire that. Sergei silently stared at William's movements carefully. William looked back at the body bag.

"Why did they die?" asked William astonished.

"They can't fight the drug reaction, so yeah that's it .." Sergei replied lightly.

William frowns. He still does not understand the purpose of giving the drug yesterday. Sergei was still curious about William.

"You're an only child, William?" asked Sergei crossing both hands on his chest looking at William's eyes sharply.

"Yup. Both of my parents are dead" he said, standing straight in front of Sergei.

Sergei nodded and took her into the car. William followed her and sat down next to her. However, William was confused, he was asked to drive.

"Where are we going?" ask William.

"Do you like rock climbing?" ask Sergei.

"Mm .. I've tried it. Why?" asked William astonished.

"All right, I want to see what you're capable of. There are good steep cliffs around here" Sergei said casually.

William was silent for a moment. Before long, 2 prospective Axton bodyguard candidates came and got into the car. They will take the third test.

Finally, William drove his vehicle to the location indicated by Sergei. They arrive at an abandoned aircraft hangar.

There was a helicopter waiting for them. William got out of the car with Sergei and the other two candidates heading to the helicopter.

Sergei sat as the co-pilot in front. William and two candidates sat in the middle. William tries to open a chat to get to know his teammate later.

"Hi, I'm William" William said as he thrust his hand at boxer number 13.

"I'm Shamus" he answered welcoming William's handshake.

"I'm Ace, sniper" said the other candidate sitting next to Shamus.

They shake hands and talk a little. Before long, they reached their destination in a green hill where there are many steep high cliffs.

It was seen a tattooed and bare-chested young man trying to climb even without any safety on his body.

William and the others to gawk at the action of the Asian-faced man from the helicopter.

"Well, he'll fight you later. Her name is Arjuna, Vesper's second child?" said Sergei pointed to Arjuna who was still hanging on the cliff.
