CHAPTER 89

"Really! He had resigned from the military specifically for the sake of this mission, on suspicion that Zaha was involved in the deaths of his two brothers, Ronal and Rio."

Brigadier General Endris works as a senior at the State Intelligence Agency and does more outside work, so he is not too updated with local criminal cases. He was quite surprised by his sister's report.

"How can that boy named Zaha be seen in the death of both of them?"

"I can't confirm the truth yet, because this news is not exposed to the public. From our intel in the field, Ronal and Roy are involved in a case of kidnapping some women. Victims were raped before being sold or put into localization. According to our informant, one of the victims was his sister Zaha, Zana Kirania Putri. The reason we haven't corroborated the truth of this news is that his older brother Zaha suddenly disappeared to no nature after that. After that battle, Zaha who was the target of our operational spy also disappeared, until now."

"Can't be traced at all?" Brigadier General Endris asked in surprise.

"Yes, Bang. It's like he just disappeared. Looks like there's a strong man behind this." AKBP Erik moody.

"What if you make a wrong conclusion, brother?"

"Wrongly how is Bang?"

"This is just my assumption. What if the strong man you're referring to isn't the man behind the scenes, but rather Zaha himself?"

The statement of Brigadier General Endris who was so sudden, clearly formed a frown that allowed AKBP Erik more and more.

"He's a teenager, is that possible Bang?" AKBP Erik seems hard to believe.

Brigadier General Endris himself did not rush to answer, but tried to rearrange all the related events conveyed by his cousin's sister, "Have you thoroughly investigated about this young man named Zaha?"

AKBP Erik took out a file and put it on the table. There are photos of Zaha when the accident was half a year ago, then photos of him when he was at school.

"There wasn't much we found, because this kid seemed pretty secretive and didn't use any social media. Previously, Zaha was known as a quiet and often bullied child. His family background is also mediocre." AKBP Erik explained while showing data on Mom and Zaha's sister.

"The big change happened after he survived the accident 6 months ago."

"6 months ago.. Date and month?" Brigadier Endris seemed to be remembering something.

"13 February 20xx, why Bang? Is something weird?"

Brigadier Endris' heart beats faster.

"Her watch?"

"Hour 11.55 midnight Bang."

Brigadier General Endris seemed to hear the sound of lightning in broad daylight right now, 'is this just a coincidence?'

"Nothing, just feeling weird. Is it possible that someone could be reborn?" Brigadier General Endris smiled bitterly but did not reveal what was in his mind.

But AKBP Erik had a slightly different conclusion to what his older cousin thought, "See at a glance, this Zaha became a different person after the accident. In my opinion, this is what his true character looks like. All this time, he's been closed off to cover his true self."

Brigadier General Endris only sighed in hearing his sister's opinion, it also had a point. Mostly what he thought could not be taken the bright spot and more sound like an irrational thing. He also has no evidence to support his current conclusions.

"Certainly what is strange about the operation in the Horse Land Market?"

"Hmn, this should only be a conflict between the southern group and the eastern group supported by Abdi Batubara. If the northern group were to get involved and benefit from this feud, it might make sense. But.."

"It seems like there's an invisible hand that has planned all this so neatly."

"You mean?"

"Yes, it seems like the southern group had expected this to happen by making the Western Group their ally. The Western group came to their aid, as if they were already waiting for this to happen. Isn't that a strange thing you think Bang?" AKBP Erik has long analyzed about this, therefore he came to a conclusion that made him deadlocked like now. That was also the reason that made him specifically invite Brigadier General Endris to discuss this matter.

"What else did you learn from this case?" Tanya Brigadier General Endris oba digs up AKBP Erik's discovery.

"Your two daughters, Bang. Although according to Anna and Silvi, they can be there because they are worried about their friend named Zaha. To say this was a coincidence, it felt very strange. They were like deliberately directed to come there, so provoked the reaction of Brother and also me." The last sentence sounded doubtful.

"You yourself doubt the final conclusion, does that not mean that someone has succeeded with his plan?"

"Sir, the person who planned this has thought everything through very carefully, including how do we react? Isn't that impossible? Even for a god of strategy!"

"Nothing is impossible, Rick! I used to have a junior with such an impossible talent. Dozens or even hundreds of missions were passed without a single failure, do you believe? And it's all an A-class mission."

Brigadier General Endris' statement made AKBP Erik stunned. '100% percent successful in class A missions, is not it impossible?'

"Maybe you think this is impossible, but that's the fact. Honey, she's short." There was regret and sadness when Brigadier General Endris recalled the figure in question.

"Sir, that person is Special Agent, Zaha?"

Brigadier General Endris nodded sadly, "Yes, that's it. I used to coach him at Akdemi and I realized his special talent, which is why I recommend him to the elite team. And sure enough, with his ability he managed to enter and become the leader of the special agent team. He was blinded with vengeance and put him in conflict with his superiors."

"He was out of the force and had one last mission to himself, which was to kill the supreme commander. I have never known a man more competent than himself."

"Killing his own superiors at the headquarters of the highest elite forces of the State? Pft, the most impossible thing, but he did it. For this he had to change for his own life. But I think that's what he wants. We met once, the day before he decided to resign from the union. Zaha told me, if he's tired of his life. He wanted to retire for good, but previously there was still one mission he had to complete... Honey then, he didn't say what his last mission was to me. Otherwise, I would have prevented it by all means... Losing a rare talent like him is a huge loss for the military as well as our country." Brigadier General Endris looked teary, He could not cover his grief at the loss of the former student he was so proud of.
