The Zetta Sonic
Far

On the second floor, Alex found fewer guests. They were in groups, chatting casually beside the window. A uniformed waitress approached Alex, offering him a drink. Alex took a glass of punch and moved near one of the tall windows. His eyes swept the conditions outside. The neatly lined trees swayed slowly by the gusts of wind. The cars are still snaking into the city hall area. And also the line at the entrance.

From that position, alex could also look to the big stage. The music players put on beautiful notes. Several men wearing black suits chatted under the stage, near a wall covered in curtains and decorations.

The purpose of this charity event as usual is to raise funds to help people. They invite people from the upper classes, collect money from them, and that's the way it is. No wonder there are so many famous faces.

While observing the face there, Alex noticed the presence of a golden-haired woman. The curls are rolled up to the top, showing off its neckline. The backless dress featured her flawless white skin. The man next to him walked down the curve and stopped at his waist. Both wore gold masks decorated with feathers and gems. They meet an old man with a diamond-tipped stick and start chatting.

There is nothing wrong with that incident. There was nothing wrong with Alex's eyes. Although his hair was painted gold, Alex recognized the woman who had called him earlier. She is none other than her own mother. Himself flinch in place. Maybe she should have been wearing makeup or a disguise other than a tuxedo.

In addition, he was also a little curious about the man beside his mother. She knew her mother often traveled with fellow actors and businessmen. But, he did not expect that their relationship was that close. Alex squinted, trying to recognize the face so that it could be investigated later.

[Alex.] This time, Emil's voice was heard.

“There is something interesting?”

[Yes. You either? Your heart rate is rising.] Emil checked the status of Zet-Arm.

“Due to punch,” replied Alex origin after sipping the red punch in his hand. Not guava as he hoped, but watermelon. “Slightly boring here.” he added lightly. “What's up?”

[There was an interesting discovery behind the town hall.]

“Robot?”

[Brobot shells, empty food trucks, crates, ropes.]

Alex tried to figure out what it meant. This charity event presents various types of food, so it is only natural that there is a food delivery truck there. Of course, the truck wasn't empty. Not to mention there's a robot shell in there.

“They have a target here.” Alex circulated his gaze, scrutinizing everyone. Too many people there. They don't know who Filip wants. At least they know who's behind it. “I'll be back.”

[Your plan?]

“Destroy the shell and the vehicle so they won't be able to escape as soon as they get the girl.”

Alex walked among the crowd, down a long, deserted passageway, straight to the back. There, he was greeted by a large back court. The wind felt strong. Beside the town hall was a large river that stretched across the capital. The dim yellow lights glowed in every corner of the building, making it sparkle. Floodlights were placed on several sides of the river close to the town hall. They'll know if anyone's infiltrating through the water.

Alex watches around him, keeping a close eye on him from being recorded by surveillance cameras. He's hiding in the shadows of the building. This side is not monitored by surveillance cameras and is quite dark. With a single touch on the emblem, Alex has returned wearing his combat uniform.

Zetta Sonic is ready for action.

With stealth mode, Alex found the truck in question. The truck is like any other truck. The truck was parked in the wrong place. Another truck parked near the other back door. This door is connected directly to the room that is being functioned as a kitchen. They also have white paint on their stomachs complete with restaurant symbols. While the truck in question was at the end of the building, right under the tree, as if to hide.

[There are guards.] Emil reminded.

To eliminate the victim who is also evidence, Alex puts both of them in a truck. As Emil said, Alex saw a crate with a robot shell inside. The shape is exactly the shape of the female body. Just stick the plates on someone and no one will be able to distinguish whether it is a robot or not.

“How did you find this?”

[There was another car that sent the crate. Both men checked it. They lifted him into the air. Like a curious cat. Very sloppy.]

Alex raised his sword, chopping up all the chests following the shells inside. Then, he went down and damaged all four wheels of the truck. Now their escape route should be scrapped.

“Have you guys got a possible candidate they'll kidnap?”

[Number is many. Too many.]

“Then, I'll drive around for a while. Who knows there are other clues.”

Jayden. [It seems, this time they have two targets.]

“What do you mean?”

[One, kidnapped super model Melissa Hart. Two killed Bernard Gregory, a businessman and politician who had recently been at odds with Filip. It's not about money, it's about power. He wants to change some regulations that jeopardize Filip's position. In fact, more than that. Bernard seems to smell an oddity at the Filip Shah factory and intends to report it to the position.]

“Bernard is here? Over where? He's quite controversial. Always making news. Reporters love him for his comments and insinuations. If Filip wanted to finish him off, he couldn't have finished him off in town hall.”

[Exactly. He's still on his way. You see there's a water tower from there?]

Alex circled his gaze, he did see a water tower. The location is not in the city hall area but is on empty land. The distance is not close. The place is pretty quiet and dark anyway. The route is usually taken by someone new from the airport.

[Bernard just landed half an hour ago from a working visit abroad. Gavin is heading there.]

“Gavin? He found Bernard?”

[He drove his car faster than Tiger.]

Alex was already running when they were chatting. He ran to the bag he had hidden outside the town hall. The bag was loaded with a laser gun and rocket. “I will reach it first from Gavin.”

[Your enemies aren't just Gavin, Sonic. Bernard's car troupe has just been intercepted by two other cars with gunmen. I also get no movement of foreign objects heading there. His movements are very fast. Not a human movement.]

“Robot killer!”

[They intend to finish off Bernard with all those who are there.]
