Private hangar owned by the Oliviera family
Antonio, Bayu and Alessandro stared at Eduardo's latest plane with amazed looks. Eduardo Oliviera's Gulfstream G-550 is a newer aircraft than Antonio's but they know it has been modified.
"How many passengers can this accommodate?" ask Bayu.
"19 passengers and two crew members. Because we're only eight, so the rest can carry the necessities of being in the Amazon jungle. My men will leave by land with other equipment" Eduardo replied as he invited them all onto the plane.
Vicenzo and Hyde have brought backpacks and duffle bags containing various weapons and changing clothes including Hyde's katana. The two men turned to see Iris bidding farewell to Regina, then walked towards the plane that would take them to the Amazon jungle.
"What are you doing?" ask Hyde to the beautiful girl who has been wearing camouflage clothes of green and black in the style of soldiers.
"You guys are !" answer Iris cuek.
"But... You're..."
"Girl, Zo? So, can girls not be tough? After all, neither of you can speak Portuguese, so you will need a translator. Relax, I'm good at shooting and using other weapons" Iris cut Vicenzo and Hyde gawked. "I can krav maga, boys ! Let's go up !"
Iris got into the plane with a backpack on her back and a duffle bag in her hand making the two cousins stare at the girl in awe.
It turns out not far from badass girls !!
And that night, they all flew into the Amazon jungle where two bodyguards lost their way.

Meanwhile in the Amazon jungle
Shaun and Shohei also look at the map held by Benicio to see details compared to those seen from his smartwatch.
"If you see from the distance we traveled from the house of the shucks, the location is here" said Shohei Sambll showed a location that is like an empty land.
"On the map it looks like an empty land but this is a paper map that cannot be seen accurately." murmured Benicio. "Are you going to attack them?"
"We're waiting for our boss. Look, we only carry smart watches and scapels that are useful for melee combat but we don't have guns or pistols" Shaun replied. "They are many and we don't want to make you wretched."
"No temos medo (we are not afraid )!" the man Shaun and Shohei know is Benicio's nephew.
Benicio translated the man's words and Shaun looked seriously.
"I know you're not afraid but believe me, I'd rather you protect your family here because if we manage to defeat Guilherme, all of your land will be given away. Heavy work will wait for you let alone your land made into a drug factory, right?" answer Shaun.
"Especially the air in your land has been contaminated with drugs ... It is very strange that the problems you face after getting land.." continued Shohei.
Benicio looked at the two people who looked serious and not the villain type despite their cold faces. But as the leader of the Vega family, Benicio can judge whether someone is good or not and two people who say they are personal bodyguards, not bad people and opportunists.
"We better rest first. It's midnight. And I hope you're okay sleeping under the stars?" benicio Smile.
"Is there a snake?" shaun asked shuddering but only answered the smile of Vega's family made the handsome man shudder. "Death to me...."
"Tell me your heart, sheep..." Shohei just patted Shaun on the shoulder with a concerned face making the Vicenzo bodyguard look at the judges.

After a journey of nearly ten hours, Eduardo Oliviera's plane landed on an emergency runway made for researchers and tourists who want to examine and see one of the lungs of the world. Oliviera's family is one of the entrepreneurs who supports the protection of the Amazon forest conservation and opposes illegal logging.
No wonder Eduardo and Regina have been best friends with Zinnia Leopold since meeting at the environmental summit in Geneva because they share the same view of forest protection as lungs and animals rarities.
"We're not detected, are we Frederick?" ask Eduardo to the pilot.
"No Senor Oliveira. Safe. We'll put up camouflage protection on this plane and we'll wait for you to finish" replied the blond pilot.
Everyone was ready with their own luggage and followed Eduardo with his bodyguard Lucio who was a poultice of the Amazon because he was a descendant of the Guaja tribe who was the last tribe in the forest before his parents came out and go to the nearest town.
"Are you okay with us?" ask Vincenzo to Iris.
"Enzo, I'm a Brazilian. The Amazon forest is the pride of my father and mother who are so passionately protected so it's natural that I come along while looking at what it's like." Iris holds a machete or machete to block out all the roots as well as weapons.
Eduardo had asked that they not use a gun or anything without a silencer, and chose each man to hold a machete.
"You should go to our forest in Aokigahara." Hyde said.
"No way, Hyde. I don't want to. There are a lot of people who kill themselves, right?" Iris Grin. "There are not many people who kill themselves here because it is far from anyone different from Aokigahara..."
"Whoahs.. You know that too?" Hyde looked at Iris with a surprised face at the beautiful girl. The three of them walked behind the adults while watching the lush forest.
"I love stories full of mystery. Like X-Files, greatest mysteries around the world. "said Iris while turning her head but she fell silent at once. "Don't move !"
Vicenzo felt something creeping on his shoulder and the man closed his eyes as Iris's machete approached his shoulder and slowly moved away with a sizable tarantula there.
Iris put the tarantula into the bush and left the three of them.
Hyde could only hold his breath when he saw the huge black spider was in the machete of Iris.
"Zo, it's like the tarantula in The Lords of the Ring." whispered Hyde.
Vicenzo moved his body as if to remove all the tarantulas. "I hate spiders ! Spiderman and Venom... Well technically, Venom's not a spider..."
"Enzo, already?" smile Iris amused.
"Sorry, I'll digress if I see a spider." said Vincenzo.
"That means you have arachnophobia, a phobia of spiders" said Iris and they continued the journey following the five people in front of them.

The Vega Family Camp
Shaun awakens with the smell of coffee and sees Shohei teaching one of Benicio's grandchildren a morse code with a translation from his grandfather.
"Good morning" said Shaun.
"Your sleep ?" benicio Smile.
"Thanks God no snake came to me." replied Shaun while receiving coffee. "Graci."
"I think you two should clean up and change. Your clothes are so messy... Don't you guys have a problem being Gaucho?" benicio.
"No problem... " Shaun's voice came to a halt when he heard the rustling of the bushes and the man saw familiar faces.
"You look messy, Sheep" said the man.
