"Mister Vice-president, you're here because..." General Andreas Romoel was smiling stiffly as he asked the person in front of him.

Vice-president Bronal Robinson was sitting in front of the table, crossing his arms. 

"Andreas, where's your son?" Bronal was clearly irritated. 

'I can't move around because I have a lot of jobs.' 

Because of his position, Bronal was forced to work hard. Most of the responsibility that Esmeralda had was passed to him. 

'Esmeralda is missing a few several occasions and I can't contact her! It should be her job to attend the meeting with the summit meeting but she pushed it to me instead!'

Now, Bronal lost a few pounds. He felt that he was working worth two jobs. 

Because of this, Bronal didn't have the time to rest. He didn't even have the time to talk to his daughter. 

'Thankfully, Scarlett visits my office every week. At least I can talk to her.'

He was quite happy about that. Even though he was slowly dying doing his endless job, his daughter never forget him. He was touched. They fixed their relationship and became closer. At least Scarlett could speak to him with no problem. 

'Yet, I never once met Calix the whole time! He didn't even congratulate me! How can I let my daughter marry an asshole like him! Never!'

He was adamant. The only time he met Calix was when he was at the hospital, right before Bronal was taken by the police. Except that, Calix casually disappeared.

As a father, Bronal wanted to know if Calix could protect and provide for his daughter. 

'But the important thing is his heart. I want to know if Calix sincerely loves Scarlett.'

He knew Calix since a kid, he often visited their place when he was young. So he knew that Calix was a good child and he could be trusted.

'However, feelings can change. I want to know if he really loves Scarlett. That's the only I can rest assured.'

Considering that Calix never visits him, Bronal's opinion of him was negative. 

"We know each other for a long time."

"Yes, I worked for you for a decade before I was transferred to the Border."

Their relationship was a leader- subordinate. As a matter of fact, Andreas was one of the talented soldiers in Bronal's division. It was not surprising that Andreas became a General. 

"Congratulations on your breakthrough."

"Thank you. I heard that Devon Artson worked as a bodyguard."

"That's right. Although I don't need a bodyguard... You know the reason why I'm here. Andreas, I want to know where I can find your son."

Bronal only had a few days where he could rest. This was one of the rare moments when he could leave the office. So he wanted to use this chance to talk to Calix and ask him about his real intention with Scarlett.

"About that..." Andreas scratched his head. His face was frowning. 

"I didn't know where he is."

He was telling the truth. 

Calix's mission was a secret and only a few people knew about it.

"What?" Bronal's expression turned ugly. 

"Is he not afraid that I will beat him? He didn't show up his face for almost half a year?" 

Bronal was elected as the Vice-president half a year ago. 

"To be honest, I want to beat him too. I'm worried that something already happened to him." Andreas added. He wanted to imprint his fist on Calix's face once he returned. 

"I only know that Esmeralda gave Calix an important mission."

"President Esmeralda?"

"That's right."

In the end, the two fathers sighed. No one had the guts to talk to the President. They were from the military and they understood how frightening Esmeralda was. 

Even for Bronal, President Esmeralda was a terrifying person. The woman was his teacher after all. 

"... Call me once you meet Calix. I have to beat him." Bronal said. 

"Don't worry, I will beat him as well," Andreas assured him.

They were fathers and they were worried about their children. 

"By the way, I brought a whiskey. You can drink if you're having trouble sleeping."

It was not proven if alcohol could help a person to fall asleep, but it seemed that whiskey helped Bronal a lot. 

"Thanks."

......

...

"Do you agree?" 

Next to the country of Dellia, two people were having a conversation about the information that they received. 

"Is this even real?" Alb read through the documents and he could not believe that the gathering of well-known criminal leaders would happen right beneath their noses.

"Looks like it's valid." Principal Lycan nodded. 

They have strong control of information within their country. There was a strong chance that the information was real. 

"But why? We both understand that the underworld organization is silent and doesn't make much noise." Alb frowned. 

"Indeed... This means only one thing. They deliberately released this information." 

"Are they not afraid that we will raid them?" 

"Alb, let's be serious here. The triad will be hard to face, even for me."

The triad holds the biggest crime syndicate in the world. It was not a lie that they were the biggest authority in the underground society. Perhaps in terms of strength and influence, only the Council of Torment could stand equal against them. 

However, the Council of Torment was a cult. Their motives were hideous and disgusting. 

In a way, between the evils, everyone would prefer the lesser evil which was the Triad. 

"What do you want me to do?"

Alb already had an idea. To be honest, he didn't want to return to this job because he understood the danger. He was already retired and doing business. 

Unfortunately, his ability was greatly appreciated and needed. 

"I want you to infiltrate the gathering." 

As expected, the answer was obvious. 

"... Okay. Do I even have a choice? This the only time that they gathered in Junian, and it definitely means something. They are usually active in the western continent considering that the countries there had weaker military strength."

"I will reward you worthy of your hard work."
