The Archon
Enemies in the Nest

The day after the negotiations of the brains behind the impending coup against the capital De Hoorn. Industry owners - large industries began to roll out their plans to close their businesses. This invites many questions from workers who arrive - suddenly dismissed for no apparent reason.

It turns out that large-scale closures do not cover large industries alone.

The unions forced the small industrialists in the hands of the industrial sector rulers to close their curtains to perfect the movement. The rich who have land outside the capital also closed their land which is commonly used for agriculture and livestock sectors.

As a result it makes a surge in unemployment rates that occur in the lower class and also citizens who work as farmers and so on. Now in the middle district of the capital De Hoorn, workers gather in front of the city's largest convection industry, an industry owned by Ray, the head of a trade union in the capital.

"Why did you arrive - this factory is closed?! Let us ask that to Master Ray!" Asked one of the shabby men urgently at some of the soldiers with red armbands on his right hand.

"Sorry for the time being that the factory is closed for some reason that we cannot publish.." Answer the soldier clearly.

"What about those of us who make a living from this factory?! They didn't tell us about the closure!" Connect the shabby man.

The soldiers remained silent at the door of the factory with their swords around their waist. The town's security guard was ordered by Barley only to guard the large factories that were shut down without telling him the reason. As subordinates with high loyalty, they agreed without asking further questions about the closure.

"Let us in!" The man was accompanied by another worker.

They tried to break into the factory, but the soldiers in charge of guarding the factory immediately took a firm step by pushing them with little force. The workers who are quite crowded are not their match, because the push accompanied by a little force makes the workers fall backward.

"If you dare to break in... I as the one in charge of this operation will kill you one by one.." Said an aging green-haired man with a golden-black-gloved sword on his waist coming out from within the factory.

The workers who saw the figure of the tall, slender, arrogant-looking man, were so frightened.

"Tu - Mr. Kayle.." Said the shabby man who was falling down while looking at him.

"You poor people don't try to rebel... If you don't have a job, go home and live quietly with your family at home..." Kayle said smiling wickedly.

Meanwhile, at the main military building where Rado is located. Rado, who was checking reports, was startled by Yoga without knocking on the door.

"Rado!" Jaquile surprised him.

Rado immediately stared at him with a piled-up forehead creak.

"Hey.. Can you knock on the door first?" Said Rado.

"It's nasty! The industrial owners chose to close their factories and the workers were made to have no jobs and there was already a riot in the streets.." Jaquile said in panic.

Rado fell silent with his serious facial expression after hearing the report from Jaquile.

"Where's Yoga?" Ask Rado.

Yoga is now in front of a shabby man who was dropped by the security guards guarding Ray's convection factory. He stood in front of Kayle without any weapons and protected the man.

"Hey can you be gentle with those who are weak..." Kata Yoga.

"Yes. oya... Who'sisthis? Good morning, Mr. Yoga.." Hayle bowed to Jaquile with a smile.

"What's this?" Ask Yoga.

"We're in charge of keeping the factory closed and driving these people to revolt into the factory, it should be for us city security soldiers to maintain the peace of the capital, right?" Kayle answered with a smile.

"What makes these factories close? I've seen the factories in this district shut down a few times as I passed by... Is this a plan?" Tanya Yoga is suspicious.

"I don't know about that... Here we are only in charge of guarding the city security so that the shabby and smelly residents approach.." Kayle replied.

"You...." Yoga growls hearing Kayle.

"Excuse my rudeness, sir.." Kayle looked down again with a smile.

Yoga that can not do anything, choose to turn towards the workers who are confused and afraid.

"You go home first... For now let us explore the reason why the factories are closing.." The word Yoga is calming.

Hearing the words of Yoga, the workers chose to go home that day. After the conditions had begun to be conducive, Jaquile also chose to leave Kayle and his soldiers without turning his head in the slightest.

"Thank you for your help master Yoga hahahahaha" Kayle laughed while saluting.

"Guhy!" Yoga clucked in annoyance at Kayle's voice.

Currently the soldiers under Rado's orders are visiting several large-scale and small-scale factory places to calm this warming condition. Every time they asked the motive behind the closed factory, the captains on duty at the time got the same answer as what Jaquile had.

After they went around to quell the rioting caused by the rebels' plans, the captains regrouped in the room where Rado was. Currently they are lined up in front of Rado who is sitting with a serious face.

"So what happened.." Ask Rado straight to the point.

"From what I've got, they say they don't know the motive for closing factories in the middle and lower districts.." Nagatomo.

"The same thing was also said by the security division to us when we came to try to calm down the riot.." Jason Imbuh.

Others said the same thing, making a big question mark against Rado about the closure of the entire industry.

"What about small industries?" Ask Rado.

"Any? Can you explain?" Pinta Rado to Julie.

"Yes.. When I asked him why he chose to close his store, he looked away from me and made an awkward excuse.." Answer Julie.

Jaquile, hearing Julie's explanation, immediately shot the incident with a vague accusation.

"It must have been planned, Rado! We have to find the mastermind..!" Jaquile said up.

"Maybe what Jaquile said has a point.. But who's the one who planned this?" Think Yoga while holding her chin.

"Maybe we can go to Ray Houston.." Albert.

"Ray Houston?" Ask Rado to Albert.

"Yes.. He was a so-called - referred to as the head of the trade union in this race, almost the entire trade route was in the union he founded with several others... Maybe he can answer why the whole industry shut down.." Said Albert.

"alright.. Let's go to his residence.." Rado.

Currently Rado accompanied by Albert and Yoga headed to the residence of Ray who was in the upper district where the rich people gathered. The house was very tight with a high fence. Seen in front of the gate is guarded by the city's security soldiers who he paid with his own money. As Rado approached Ray's gate, he was intercepted by the soldier.

"Hey! What - what the fuck are you... He is the leader of our race!" Albert said grimly.

"Ma - forgive us... But Mr. Ray doesn't want to be met by anyone.." The nervous soldier.

"Although the leader of the race wants to meet him?" Tanya Yoga intimidates.

The two soldiers saw each other because of their doubts about the situation.

"Let him in.." Ray's sound coming out of a loudspeaker attached in front of the gate.

The gate opened by itself, Rado and the others immediately entered the compound. In front of the main door of the residence Ray already seen some servants waiting for the three of them to enter the magnificent residence.

"I didn't expect.. It turns out that there is another great power in this capital.." Rado's smile in his mind.

Rado and the others were welcome to enter and were asked to wait in a super luxurious living room with bookshelves surrounding the tea table that was currently in front of them. Not long after they waited for Ray to come inside and greet the three of them.

"It's nice to meet the new ruler of this race.." Ray said calmly.

"It's nice to meet you.." Sapa Rado sitting on a soft sofa.

Ray sat down on the couch in front of them and poured a cup of tea on the three of them. The respect Ray gives Rado feels different to the rest of the district. Residents who were in the upper districts, more precisely the peak district, were once descendants of kings and nobles. But a few years ago the title began to fade and its peak during Rado's leadership, the title was removed completely.

"I didn't think you could hire a city security guard.." Rado said smiling.

"Haha... Perhaps because you are still the new ruler of this race, you do not understand that our faction can get what we want, even if it is from the military itself.." Ray said brightly - brightly.

"Hoooo then what is my figure as a ruler just as iconic as a race?" Tanya Rado smiled.

"Yes.. Less is more like that.." Ray said as he drank his tea calmly.

"Hey! Keep your talk!" Albert said grimly.

"Mr Albert? Didn't you in your leadership days not feel that the one who raised you as the leader of this race was our faction?" Ray asked to put the cup down.

"We hold you up as a leader because the chair is not empty.. It's just that, since you have ambitious thoughts about war, we're starting to ignore you... Aren't you aware of that and having trouble getting support in the military?" Ask Ray.

The question left Albert silent.

"I didn't know there were such factions in the capital.." Rado smiled calmly.

"That's because you are an outsider who arrived - suddenly came to bring the strength of the ancestors who should have been born into our faction.." Ray said.

"In his time, the military you are currently under is a former military made by our predecessors.. But over time, the military sector has run independently, and we are focused on the trade sector.. But it does not close if we are the top group.. So you can understand that I'm acting like this to you even though you're an ancestor's messenger.." Said Ray.

"I can understand that..." Rado's smile but the other two people were seen starting to grow furious.

"On that day when the indicator that became a marker of the rise of the power of demicles lit up, it made me very happy... I think that finally the ancestral power will be present back to us in the midst of the crisis of the region which is a struggle between the 5 races... But after hearing that person was not from our group.. I'm very disappointed..." Ray said something funny again.

After hearing the words that were attacking out of Ray's mouth, Rado immediately got up from his seat and left Ray just like that with an annoyed face covered up.

"Mr Rado?" Albert asked astonished by the sudden departure of Rado.

Yoga left the room and was soon followed by Albert. Ray who was smiling while sitting on his soft sofa while enjoying a warm cup of tea. He closed his eyes and reopened to see the three cups of tea that were still in full condition.

"At least you drank that tea before you left, because that tea is very expensive.." He said while lamenting the undrinkable tea.

"Mr Rado.. Why did you just leave?! What about our questions about the industry sector?!" Albert asked in amazement.

Rado did not answer him at all and continued walking towards the exit, Yoga who was following Rado behind him, just looking at himself without saying anything. After coming out of Ray's residence and passing through the large gate, Rado just spoke.

"It looks like we have enemies in our own lair..." He said with an unusual face.
