In a room there was an old man and a man from the west was discussing something.
"So, is that the only reason you came here?"
"Yep, I came to you just an alibi to avoid the attention of many people. Everyone knew, if anyone Awakened came from outside, it would definitely have to go through the procedures of the local association for the sake of safety."
Agus seems to be trying to think about the reason for the arrival of this western national, because John is one of the best Awakened people in America and his guild is also one of the largest there as well.
But, the reason for the arrival of this foreign man was not what was predicted by Agus himself.
"What is the purpose of him to come to PT. Hanjar?" Ask in Agus' heart trying to find out the purpose of this man's arrival. "Today, the company has often had the arrival of the best people from different countries, on the grounds of wanting to pick up or buy its quality goods, but in my view, there is something they cover from the eyes of the association. It seems that I have to wait for the results of the 'Savior' that has gone in there."
Agus and all of his associates had investigated the company, but none of them had encountered anything other than the loot the dungeon had sold. Plus, the company has government support - one of the best companies that has helped the country.
But it has not adequately covered the suspicions of the security bureau association, and the investigation after investigation was conducted but did not produce the slightest results. It's just that the company often invites professors and doctors who are not yet famous or new to the field to enter the company.
But this action is natural for every dungeon loot company such as PT. Hanjar, for the sake of medical safety and various prevention and solution of every terrible event such as mysterious disease from monsters. It's just that they always invite a lot of people in white suits there are estimates of more than 20 people, which is the average of every data received by every company in the association, which is the average, the average is only 3 to 7 people and that is only slightly beyond that and not as much as PT. Hanjar needs that many people almost every day.
"If his arrival is not for the artifact, it means at PT. Hanjar indeed there is something very big hidden there."
While thinking about it and while opposite it was a western man named John Marques was sitting quietly waiting for a decision from Agus, for that he has been allowed to enter this country with a clear purpose that has been announced just now.
Agus could only sigh with that doubt and say :
"Well, you can start your business. But, how long are you gonna be here?"
"Hmm. The plan will be two days, but seeing the situation that is difficult for you, maybe I will be here until the dungeon is successfully closed. Just in case, if you guys suddenly come to ask for my help when it starts to get difficult to face the dungeon - while I'm still here, and of course the pay is not cheap."
Instantly, Agus frowned at the expression full of arrogance. But everything this western man said was not wrong as well, as he had already proven all his abilities and made everyone know of his overwhelming strength.
After the conversation, John immediately lifted himself from the soft sofa and excused the master of this association to start his business.
Clack...
The sound of the door closing signifies that all business has ended and now Agus can only stay in the guest room, while looking at the front with a blank look.
"*Huff*..."
Sighing his heavy breath at the thought of all these things, he should still carry out his trust from the master and his brothers and while on the other hand, on the other hand, he should still carry out his trust from the master and his brothers, he must also carry out his duties as one of the protectors of the country and all its citizens in his leadership.
"What is the 'Savior' doing now?"
Agus could only think of the fate of humanity in the hands of a fragile young man, but he still entrusted all fate to him and hoped that the child would one day free all that existed.
"Hope..."
His mouth involuntarily flashed that word and looked at the ceiling of this room with a blank look and mind filled with many things.
"Yes, only hope we can give. You're the only hope surrounded by all the chaos."
After that Agus could only smile, this was the first time he could relax in this predicament.
The crane...!
Suddenly his phone shook and Agus took the phone and looked at the screen that someone had contacted him. Agus could only smile because a precious person had contacted him.
"Yes hello, son. What's up?"
"Uncle, do you have time tonight?"
"My time is always free at night, so what's up?"
"Good, Mom and Dad asked me to call Uncle for dinner together, to get her 8 months pregnant..."
Hearing that, Agus smiled and was very happy in his heart. He did not expect that his sister would soon give birth to his second nephew. Agus who spent his entire life alone until now without a partner lives like everyone else, there was a reason why he did just that - that he did not want to add to the burden of his heart if something much worse had happened one day, and it would happen in the future.
"Well, I'll finish my job and go home soon."
"Promise yes, watch not come. I'll be mad at you."
Agus could only smile during the conversation and the phone broke up and Agus returned to his old self.
"Protecting loved ones alone is this heavy. But, how does the 'Savior' feel that must be demanded to protect all of us?"
...•••...
The next day at the association headquarters of the security bureau...
At 10:09
There were two great men in one room and one was an old man and one was just a young man.
"His trial will begin tomorrow. We will all go to Bali and get rid of all the monsters that roam around and close the dungeon as well. But all of that will go very well if you come along. Are you willing to help us?"
A moment of hearing it, I could only shut up while thinking about it. Not because it would be difficult, but I am not ready to appear in public because of the power of mine, because... "They" could have appeared at any time after sensing my energy. Because basically, we are Heredis.
"I could have come. But you're sure, 'They' could have just appeared right then-before me for feeling the same energy of mine as 'They' too. I'm not strong enough to face 'They' yet, because I'm still in the 'test' stage of developing myself."
Instantly Agus was wide-eyed and did not expect that this could endanger his "Savior. But on the other hand, he had no other choice, because he and the foreigners needed additional manpower to overcome the dungeon.
"It is also difficult, even though you are the key to this victory. Should I ask others for help again, but if things are done then there is only opposition from the central government, because it is very detrimental to the country he said..."
Seeing the confused Agus, who did not expect if the plan did not go smoothly. I could only exhale for a moment and say :
"Alright, after much thought, I should have come along..."
Agus was a little surprised and said :
"...But... how about 'They' really come in front of you?"
"That's what I've been thinking, I won't use my Heredic powers. I will fight as best I can with the help of magic weapons and Aura that I have recently learned."
Hearing that, Agus still had a little hope, but he also thought that the Aura users were great, indeed, but their ability is very risky and speed up death comes to him if he can not get immediate help from experienced Aura users.
"That's a good idea, but one thing to beg of you, please don't force yourself to use Aura. Indeed the power Aura produced was great, but the pay to be received was huge as well."
Saying it like that, sounds like a parent's expression of his child or is already innate age, the old always worry about the young. I could only smile faintly as I raised those worries.
After that conversation, Agus wanted to take me to meet his foreign guests. But before that, I have to submit my investigation all this time when entering the PT. Hanjee.
"Before that, I wanted to tell you about the company."
"...Oh yeah, about that I almost forgot too. So what I found there, I hope you find the information you want."
"Yes..all that information, I really want...!"
"If you don't mind, can you tell me what you met there. If this is so burdensome, needless to say, we will ourselves browse through the information there."
"No, we've agreed to this and I'll tell you everything I see..."
I told him everything and starting from a project called "Stigma" that I told you a while ago, I said that the project turned out to be a vile experiment and was far from moral and human.
Agus who heard that was unexpected and very angry, he did not expect that all this time-the cruel actions had been operating for a long time and unknown to him all this time.
"Ah.. fuck! I'm really stupid!!" An angry Agus immediately sat on the office chair while holding his head with both hands, with a feeling of disappointment over himself. "I have promised the Master and my brothers that I will take good care of our people. But the truth is, something like this I can't figure out, shit!!"
Brak!!
The moment his big hand hit his own desk and it seemed a little bit of damage to the table despite that much power, he could still hold back when his emotions were a little high.
"I'm sorry, I showed you my bad side."
"It's okay, I also feel the same way when I know this project actually."
And even more painful, that it turns out that Mom and Dad have been working for the company. I don't know why they did it, though, but one thing I can trust from my parents is that they wouldn't do this knowing the truth from the first time they accepted this offer.
I can be sure that my parents have been involved in this terrible project because they were forced and maybe the reason for us is also their children.
"My suspicions grew when John Marques came here and he had business with the company."
I'm a little no stranger to that name, he's one of the strongest men from America and founded his own guild and became one of the biggest there.
"John, it turns out he was the one at the time."
"Why... have you met him?"
"Said to meet neither. Before I came here, I stopped by for a while at PT. Hanjar took out the magic weapon I ordered yesterday, then the man emerged from his car and was greeted with respect by the company people. Our eyes had crossed at that time and he was taken to a special room like myself yesterday."
"If he had any connection to this project, he could have been penalized by the national law regarding the heinous acts of humanity and this cannot be tolerated by any country."
"I think it's futile too, plus this punishment is only made by weak humans like us."
"...So you mean, does this have anything to do with 'They' too?"
I just nodded and Agus immediately clasped his hand violently and did not expect that this was beyond his ability to overcome this.
I also told you all the information about "They" had something to do with this project plus people being the subject of the experiment.
"Every human being so experimental material has the same energy as you?"
"Yes, I felt it while walking around with my 'Servants', but the energy it emitted was very small. It's just that guy, John Marques. He also had the same energy as 'They', albeit vaguely, but the pressure I felt when looking at him was stronger than those experimental humans."
Agus could only rub his forehead to hear all this surprise information, he did not expect that all this time "They" had been doing things unexpectedly like this vile experiment, plus assisted by humans, he said, which of these humans should be just a bunch of ants in the eyes of "They" and why is assisted by creatures considered so inferior by "They"?
These two people could only silently ponder considering all of this, only they both know the truth of this world and only they are the two who are trying to overcome it for the sake of their loved ones and a great hope in the hearts of both of them.
"Am I willing to do it?" I thought while looking at one of my hands and looking at Agus who looked a little stressed thinking about all this. "I am also very frustrated about all these responsibilities, compared to what all Agus passed before me, must have been much heavier before I got this power."
Geck... Geck... Geck...
A moment of silence broke as someone knocked on the door.
Clack... Cuckoo...
The person pushed him and it appeared that one of the association members came in and gave his report.
"Sir, they're all in place."
"That's it." Agus stood up from his chair and looked at me. "For all these things we have to miss a while and focus on what's ahead of us."
I just nodded and Agus invited him along to meet foreign guests. While on the way we chatted a little about these foreign guests.
"I hope you don't mind the tests they gave you."
"Don't worry, I'll try to meet all their standards."
Agus smiled and after a few meters of walking, we finally arrived at a place that was quite spacious inside, and each wall of this place was coated with many refined Mana Crystals.
"Hm?" Suddenly a strong magic pressure covered me as I just stepped on my foot in this place. "Strong magic energy."
Walking a few steps, it seemed that the foreign guests had been there and seen us enter. I saw them one by one and were really very strong, deserving of their Rank-S.
All these foreign guests hurled their words with the language of their respective countries against their colleagues.
"So he's the one, he's very young and plus very sweet."
"So, this kid's gonna be their ace?"
Although they spoke other languages, I somehow understood what they were saying, probably already innate a "Loser" who could always be insulting everywhere. But on the other hand, I felt a different gaze from someone and I turned to look at him.
His eyes were very surprised to see my eyes.
"No way...!" The trembling muttered Bindi looked at the young man before her. "This powerful energy is just like the time I felt! And.. he also has energy like John, but he's very dark!"
The woman kept looking at me with that surprised look and I wondered why she was surprised to see me like that.
"Alright, with this let's start the demonstration. Do you want to be shown individually or strength testing?"
Agus told all that to his guests and one of the guests went down, he was a man who seemed to have a hard personality.
"Please don't take her too seriously, because we need her strength" Agus told me as he held my shoulder and walked away.
On the other hand, this man continued to look at me with the same sickening gaze as with the people back then.
"I hope you don't let me down, son!" Say it in English.
"The rules are simple, you must not use any weapons and magic is allowed, as long as the magic is still on a scale does not endanger the surroundings and lives."
Hearing that seems to hurt me a little, because I promised not to use this Heredic power and could only rely on the ancestral heritage treasures as well as the Aura and martial arts from Aran. Since magic is allowed, I brought up all of these ancestral treasures except Excalibur and the Blood-Dagger and made it enter invisible mode.
"It's not cheating, is it? The rules say magic can be used, because this book already copied some magic before coming here. Well, although I actually have some skills that can be used without the help of this book, but for the time being I can only use some inconspicuous system skills."
While we were getting ready at our respective places, we stared at each other's opponents.
"Ready...! Get started!!"
Push up!!
Push up!!
For a moment both sides advanced and prepared to launch their respective attacks.
