The associate people escorting me in to head to an isolation room, they felt my deep anger while in this place and it made them uncomfortable to be beside me.
I entered the room and there were only two chairs and a table. Well..it's a place of interrogation in general and only one lamp as a light, but around me there is no one-sided glass that I usually see in the movies. And only four cameras on each side and a sound speaker were hung.
"Please sit down first, we'll call someone to ask you a few things."
I just nodded and the guy walked out of this room and left me alone.
"This place is really great, I can feel every wall of it being lined with refined Mana Crystals."
Looking at this place, it seems that the interrogation place is not a safe enough place for anyone.
Clamps!
I turned towards the door and looked a man who was very familiar to me.
"I didn't think you were the one my people meant, Mr. Arkha Peteng."
"Adam Buana."
He was the one who warned me about the arrival of Ivory Himar in the hospital at that time. And who would have thought, he was the one who would interrogate me.
"When I first met, I had a feeling about you" Adam said, sitting in the opposite seat. "Based on the report from my subordinates, that you got another 'Great' since that dungeon parasite incident. Is that true?"
"Yes." Yeah."
He only asked basic questions and did not intimidate at all. Maybe because I'm young, 20-year-old. So there is a little lightness in terms of mental pressure, even though in the young child there is a monster that lives out at any time, if mentally disturbed.
"All right, we've got it here. Next week you should do your status update here."
"Eh? That only? The question is very human."
Adam just smiled hearing that and said :
"I know you're not that kind of person. Because I can feel a little bit of a person's living aura as long as he lives. And you are not a bad person, but." Arya stopped her words for a moment and looked me in the eye carefully. "There was pent-up anger all this time I felt from the look in your eyes. What's upsetting you so much?"
"Is this part of the interrogation?"
"Well, there's actually one question I'd like to ask. But I'm not sure you'll answer."
"Just ask, as long as it doesn't offend me."
"Well, the question I'm asking is... What's your reason for hiding your power all this time?"
I just kept quiet to hear the question, because it would be very painful to remember again.
"I know the reason must be very strong, but you will be labeled a criminal if you hide this much power with your current Venandi status" Adam continued.
"It's true that I have good reason to hide it, one of which is you, the security bureau association," I replied with hateful eyes.
Adam heard it was very surprised and he also felt a deep anger from inside me. Then he again asked me what was the reason I hated people from the association.
"Two years ago..."
"Two years ago?"
"Yes, two years ago, do you remember that incident?"
Adam heard it instantly gulped down his saliva, he tried to remember what incident made this young man so hateful of association.
"You don't seem to remember" I continued.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but please explain in detail what happened two years ago?"
Hearing that made my anger almost go away when I remembered the incident, where they were the ones who made me have to pray every time to my Sisters.
"On the highway... Angga Pranadipa and Ayu Pranadipa. They're both my parents."
"Pranadipa.. lest-don't...!" Adam was surprised. "I remember the incident, but what's the reason this kid hates us?"
Adam tried to find out the information that had happened since the incident, but he found no clue why the young man was so angry, and the information he received was just a single accident report that the victim was a married couple.
"Now where do you keep it...!"
"I'm sorry? Whatchu mean?"
Brak! Wush...!
Suddenly a terrifying energy was emitted from the body of this young man and it made this room tremble to such an extent. Adam who felt the pressure up close made it even more uncomfortable to stay here.
"This energy is the same as with the Master. But her energy." thought the panicked Adam in her heart. "Very gripping and cold."
"I told...! Where did you keep the bodies of my parents...!!"
Wush...!!
The energy that the youth emitted increasingly became and began to be difficult to control again.
"What do you mean we keep the bodies of both of your parents...! We've never done anything like saving a human body!"
Adam tried to convince the young man whose anger was beginning to peak, but this young man heard it was getting angry and was ready to destroy what was here.
The set!
Suk! Bush! Dur...!
"Agh..!!"
With intense pressure and rapid movement, the young man grabbed Adam's collar and pushed it as hard as he could against the wall as it shattered.
"What a force this is! Even walls coated in high quality Mana Crystals could be destroyed instantly!" Think of Adam trying to escape the grasp of this young man.
...•••...
Somewhere the surveillance monitor...
"It's nasty! We should send a team to help the chairman!"
They looked through the monitor that looked as if their chairman was being cornered by a young man who possessed that huge magic energy. It looked like the people from the monitor room were panicking, but it looked like a middle-aged man was entering this room.
"Master! We have to help the chief...!"
"No need."
"What! B-but Master...!"
"Don't worry, Adam will be fine. Now we have to see what makes this kid so angry."
They can only stay silent and follow the orders of their superiors.
...•••...
"Agh..! Mister.. please..! Calm yourself down!"
Brak!
The young man pressed Adam more and more towards the wall until it made his breathing slightly congested.
Pips... Pips...
"...?!"
The young man suddenly shed his tears and looked at his gaze other than there was a great fury, but there was also a deep sadness that was hard to stem.
"Please... hiks! Return back...release our parents...!"
Slowly, the young man removed Adam's collar and lowered it. Adam who was a little frightened when he felt the great power, but his fear lost the same feeling of sympathy for this sad young man.
"Please calm yourself. Two years ago, we did receive a report of that single accident and we thought it must have been the work of a Hidden dungeon that had already cracked so that a monster appeared to cause an accident, but when we went there and checked the location, we did not find a dungeon at all and only found a burning car falling into the ravine, plus... we didn't find any bodies in there and around the crash site."
Hearing that, it made the young man wake up instantly and directly looked at the man before him.
"You mean, there's no way my parents weren't there. You have taken them!"
"Take? We never did that, when such an incident happened, we would send them directly to their immediate family. What do you mean if the association takes the bodies of both your parents?"
"At that time, some people came to my house in their cars and showed me my parents' bodies, saying that my parents had a single accident that took their lives. I remember clearly, they brought both of our parents back then and they said that this was for an autopsy and they just left right after that, I saw clearly the clothes they were wearing and exactly what you are wearing right now..."
Adam and the people in the monitor room were so shocked to hear that, they didn't expect any of their members to do that.
"After a year of the accident, I tried to contact the person who brought my parents but there was no response at all. I finally decided to come straight here and ask for their clarity about my parents, but they actually asked for a heavy fee to take care of this, he said. At that time I did not think long and immediately spent half my parents' savings to pay for it, I did that as long as they came back to us. After I reported this, your people came to my house and said they asked for more money to continue investing again, I just obeyed them and gave them some more money. Our life savings were depleted and to the point that I had to sell various things that were at home and work odd jobs endlessly. One month passed, I came back here and looked for the people who were taking care of my parents' investigation, and I, when I asked people here that the person I was looking for was not here at all and they weren't here a month ago either..."
Hearing that made their hearts even more sliced and it was unexpected that there were such trashy people among them. The master who heard this only showed a sour expression by clenching.
"I was in shock, our lives had suffered since our parents were gone and now their bodies had not returned to us. Want to see when I have to beg my sisters! The tomb we visited at all times was just a tomb that contained nothing, I always took them to make a pilgrimage to the empty tomb, he said, my heart ached every time they prayed in front of the tomb that none of our parents were in. Please.. hiks...! Give us back our parents...!"
Adam only fell silent with his great sympathy, he did not expect that this young man would have to carry such a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Adam asked the young man to calm himself first and asked him to tell in detail their characteristics.
"You said they were wearing clothes like us. Do you remember their features, such as faces or scars and so on that stand out the most from them?"
This young man tried to remember the characteristics of the people who deceived him, but unfortunately, he did not remember clearly about the people who brought his parents. He said they looked like the associations were complete with their sunglasses and a black mask was sticking out his mouth.
"But I clearly remember the man who deceived me when I came here. He's a very fat man and he's about 40 years old."
Adam upon hearing the features of the man who deceived this young man while here two years ago. He seemed to be very angry when he found out who that bastard was.
"It turns out he did! Don't expect you to get away from me, asshole!" Adam was very angry in his heart. "How can you be sure that your parents are really dead? Though the corpse shown to you may not be your parents, it may be someone else. Because there is an ability that can change the shape of an object according to his wishes."
"On that matter, I'm pretty sure they're completely gone. Because, the guy who brought my mother's necklace told me everything. Maybe you don't believe it, but I'm a very sensitive person to the honesty and lies someone tells me. And the guy said everything honestly, from the beginning I knew you were honest with me, but because of the anger that made me close my eyes for a while."
"Is that guy dressed like us too?"
The young man said that he was currently very confused and what their purpose was to do this to himself and his family. Taking and giving clues, this was already like a puzzle game that he had to solve every piece of it. And he said that the characteristics of the man who brought the necklace to him, his skin was brownish black and almost two meters high, and there were deep scars on his neck.
"Who is that guy? I've never heard of him in association" Adam thought.
Silence for a moment and they were immersed in their respective thoughts. After a while, Adam opened his voice and said :
"You don't worry. The man who tricked you and took your money, I already know who he is. Then about the people who brought your parents, we'll find out about them. Maybe you can tell me a few things, so that could be a clue for us to investigate."
The young man told him everything and the work of his parents. That his parents started rarely coming home since they did a task about a research project.
"What research projects do they do?"
"I don't know what kind of research it is, but I do know the name of the research which is 'Stigma'. And when Mom was involved in the study, Dad was also called in to guard a lab. After they accepted the task, they rarely went home and only came home three times a week..."
Adam heard that carefully and it seemed that he was beginning to understand from the spear of this matter. Because all this time, he and his team investigated cases of missing people and there are also cases where, many people died mysteriously without any injuries.
"Are the parents of this child involved with the 'organization'? Because there have been a lot of bad reports since this organization existed. But we even the association security bureau could not touch them in the slightest, because this organization was founded by the government itself."
"There are also companies that sponsor their research if it is not misnamed... PT. Hanjar," continued the young man.
"FR. Hanjee...!" Seems surprised to hear the name of the company. "Wouldn't it be the company that sells the best quality potions and magic weapons in the country. And if it's not wrong, the company is very close to the organization. Although it seems that their relationship outside is like business between companies. But my gut tells me there's something else behind their relationship."
After hearing all this, it seems that Adam has managed to find one of the unbroken threads among the tangled and broken threads.
"Thank you for giving us that information and don't worry, we'll find your parents."
The young man just nodded and he walked towards the door of this room with that still heavy feeling.
"The poor boy. But thanks to you, we finally have a glimmer of hope in this case."
...•••...
On the other side...
"Interesting" said the old man. "Send Adam to come to the room immediately."
"Good!"
The old man immediately walked out of this room.
...•••...
...•••...
Geck... Geck... Geck...
"Yes go in!"
Crews! Cuckoo...
A man entered and it seemed that he knew what this master wanted to discuss.
"It seems you already know this problem" said Adam.
"Yes, I didn't think that child would have to face such a huge ordeal. What about the guy who blackmailed the kid?"
"I've had several teams arrest him, I'm afraid he'll run away and hire some highly ranked people."
"Your decision is correct. I really hate people who use orphan treasures!"
Adam knew very well this annoyance and so did he who was very upset with such a person.
"Regarding the child's problems and the recent cases, it seems very pertinent."
"That's right Master, I feel the parents of this young boy have been involved with them."
"Angga Pranadipa and Ayu Pranadipa yes..."
"Do you know his parents?"
"I know him quite well, especially this Angga. I didn't expect that his adopted son would grow up that big."
Master Agus looked at his subordinates closely and it seemed that he knew what Adam was thinking.
"Regarding the man mentioned by the youngster, he really is in the association," continued master Agus.
"I haven't heard of him since I was in the association."
"That's perfectly natural, because that guy's name is Moris Manuel. He's one of the security chiefs at the association and the information about him, I've closed it down with a meeting."
"Sorry if he is presumptuous, why should his existence be kept secret?"
"I kept him a secret, to protect those closest to him, but this is also to protect the safety of us all. Because, Moris has an ability called, 'Spirit Guardian'."
"Spirit Guardians?"
"It was a false pardon or rather a blessing from God directly, he was not an Incarnation but thanks to his ability it had equaled that of the other Incarnations. Moris himself said that he met someone in clothes resembling the God of Death, and that person bestowed a guard to protect him."
"So this is why you kept the data about her a secret."
"Yes, because we don't know there are many people with mysterious abilities, and maybe one of those abilities could absorb the abilities of others who are already dead."
"You said it first, it means he's already..."
Master Agus just nodded and all of Adam's curiosity was answered. But one thing baffles them that, this guy is Moris. Why did he appear right in front of the young man?
"I don't know about it either" said master Agus. "When I did the funeral was very closed and the place was kept tight and secret. Maybe it has something to do with Angga."
"You mean, Angga Pranadipa?"
"Yes, they were both orphans from birth and came from the same orphanage. The relationship between the two of them can be said to be like a sibling, I know Angga well through this Moris. But if you don't hear wrong, Moris once said that he would give this ability to his brother, Angga, if he was gone. And right after saying that exactly one week passed, Moris died mysteriously and this incident was a long time ago, five years ago."
"But, Master, I've met several times with Angga Pranadipa. But I don't feel the slightest bit of Mana from him, which means he's just an ordinary person."
"He's a normal person, but my gut feeling is that ever since Moris died, I've felt another existence standing next to him all along."
After talking for a long time, Master Agus asked Adam to investigate and deal with the case immediately. Because the clues are already in their hands even though they are small, but they can save many lives.
Crews!
After Adam left this room and only told Master Agus in this room.
"FR. Hanjar and the organization were otherwise misnamed... 'Earth Jaya'. It turned out that the two of them had a very deep relationship, plus..."
Bush...!
Instantly the Mana energy emitted from his body came out and made the pressure within this room even more congested for anyone who sensed it.
"The old man's distended stomach! You've been protecting them all along! Our associations are not allowed to interfere in government affairs, but their actions have now been delayed. Don't expect you to accept my apology!"
An association of security bureaus established specifically for Resurrected persons, the association exists in many countries and is built to control Awakened persons who abuse their abilities. Associations play a role in the safety of the community that is no different from the army and police, but their assigned people are Awakened as well. There was also an ordinary person in the association who was only in charge of taking care of the small parts in the association.
Their associations are aligned with the state government. Because the mutual agreement has been approved by all countries, that the association is not allowed to interfere in government affairs such as politics and others, they are only allowed to interfere in military matters as an additional aid only if the military cannot handle something.
Master Agus tried to calm himself down and dampen this powerful energy he was emitting.
"For the time being, I need to calm down first, as long as it has nothing to do with 'They'. But, the energy that the youngster emitted was very similar to 'They', was he the savior my 'Master' meant for? I, the Master and my twelve brothers received only a small amount of power like 'They' and that young man through the 'Sacred Artifacts'. But the 'Sacred Artifacts' had already fallen into the hands of 'They' and managed to eliminate my brothers and defeat our 'Master..."
Agus was silent for a moment after remembering the terrible incident, he did not expect that only he survived. He survived thanks to his master who used his last ability to teleport Agus elsewhere. His master asks him to find the "Savior" and survive until he meets the person in question, only that person can defeat "They" according to his master.
"If indeed that young man is meant by the Master, then I will help him and make himself side with all of us humans. Only people who have a strength of 'They' can fight against him..."
Agus looked at one of his palms and let out a hint of Mana, his hand shining like the light of the sun.
"Part of my time soon, I will try with the rest of my life to fight for the human race from 'They'."
...•••...
...•••...
Somewhere in a house...
There was a young man heading towards the house with a slightly sad face, momentarily arriving at the door of the house, he tried to calm himself and improve his expression so that his loved ones in the house did not worry.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
Crews! Cuckoo...
A little girl opened the door and greeted herself warmly.
"Well! Finally my brother came home."
I just smiled as I was greeted warmly by my sister and went inside the house. I saw the floor of this house in a bit of a mess, it seems the Twins did something.
"What are you doing?"
Reno came out of the kitchen with a few bottles of water.
"Eh, Brother is home, so we can all finally go."
"Go? Go where?"
"What day did you forget this?" Ask Rena.
I try to remember today, and when I find out what day it is, it makes me sad in my heart. It turned out that this was the day our parents died, on October 10th and we always make a pilgrimage today.
"Sorry, I almost forgot. Well then, let's go to Mom and Dad's."
The Twins just nodded and they brought a bag of flowers and some bottles of water, to the grave of our parents.
"Dad, Mom, please don't you ever leave us. I promise, I will repay the deeds of those who did this to you. I promise I will make them feel a pain that is hard for them to forget!"
