All the Red and White team members were gathered in a field in a remote place far from their headquarters. This morning, after finishing their breakfast, the ten Team members went to this place using two operational cars provided for the Team.
Munding, Afza, Rony, and Mia are in one car. Sunarya, Anggie, Ardian, Dewi, Ridwan, and Eiren were in the other car. They came to this place because Sunarya told them that the team commander would be waiting for them there.
The commander who had ordered Sunarya and Anggie to ambush Munding on his first night joined the Team.
Although he was called ‘Komandan’ but he was not included in the Team members, he also would not interfere with the Red and White team's affairs of duty when hunting Chaos directly. He is more like an advisor or observer. And he was one of the top brass of the police force named Jaelani.
The initiator of this cross-unity cooperation project and also the one who first gathered the top military officials to be willing to give their support to the cooperation program to hunt down the Chaos team.
Jaelani is someone who has a very high rank in his institution. There are three stars embedded in his shoulders that indicate that his rank is a Commissioner General of Police or General Police.
This middle-aged man who is nearing his retirement is a figure who looks old but still very energetic and excited. When the Red and White team members reached the field where he was waiting, enthusiastically immediately welcomed their arrival.
“You've arrived already? I heard there's one more addition from the AD? Where is she?” ask Commander Jae to the team members closest to him.
A moment later, Jaelani and Munding looked at each other. Jaelani knew that Munding was the new man. In terms of makeup and appearance, Jaelani could not be wrong. The elite soldiers of the TNI and Polri will at least always maintain their silky and neat hair, except for Rony who Jaelani can understand because he is often seconded to an intel unit and performs disguise duties.
“You must be Munding ya?” jaelani asked with a friendly smile and extended her hand towards Munding.
Munding slowly saw Jaelani's outstretched hand and shortly afterwards, Munding greeted Jaelani quickly and let go. For some reason, Munding felt disgusted by this elderly man in front of him. Munding felt that this man whom his comrades had summoned was someone two-faced who could easily hide his foul intentions behind the friendly smile he showed.
“Who trained you?” ask Commander Jaelani.
Munding seems completely unwilling to answer Jaelani's question and leaves the man behind. Jaelani's face looks slightly ignited emotions when looking at Munding's behavior.
“Hei!! I'm the Commander of this Team! You must answer my question and never silence me!” jaelani shouted, she really felt her emotions overflow.
A high-ranking officer seemed to be completely unmoved by the young man who had come out of nowhere. Of course Jaelani went up in black. Meanwhile, the other team members who actually have military rank and are more special than Munding, all listen to his orders carefully.
“Munding!” call Afza towards Munding with a reminiscent tone.
Munding only smiled lightly at Afza. Munding then circulated his eyes towards his other teammates and looked at their expressions one by one. When Munding saw the dislike on their faces as a result of his act of defiance, Munding could only take a deep breath.
“All are Beta wolves huh?” mumbling Munding quietly in the heart.
Munding was deliberately against Jaelani with one goal, see if anyone became an Alpha in the Red and White team. A wolf fighter who freely decides for himself what he wants to do without being shackled by the hierarchy. And Munding was a little disappointed when he discovered that all his comrades were soldiers only.
Munding knew how terrifying the Chaos team members they hunted were. Munding surmises that they are not a pack of wolves with an Alpha, but more like a pack of Alpha gathered for one purpose. But since experiencing terrible insight the other day, Munding realized, because they are a group of individuals who stand, they are not solid. They waited and watched their own comrades closely, getting ready to pounce while their own comrades were off guard. And since long ago, Munding was eager to take advantage of their weaknesses.
When comparing the Chaos team he saw back then with the Red and White team, Munding could only smile wryly. They are like a pack of hungry adult wolves with a bunch of wolf cubs who are funny joking and pretending to fight each other with his friends.
The herd of wolf cubs who became half-grown because they were fed by their mother was planning to chase and slaughter the horde of hungry wolves whose claws and fangs were already drenched in the blood of countless prey.
“Hei!” jaelani shouted towards Munding.
“Sorry Sir,” Munding replied as he grimaced a little and walked back towards them all.
Jaelani took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger. How eager he was to slap or hit the young man in front of him who had deliberately defied and did not give any respect to him. Even though he had just said sorry, but Jaelani and everyone also knew that the apology spoken by Munding just now was not even sincere and half-hearted.
But, Jaelani could only grit her teeth and hold back her emotions. He understood perfectly well with the group of young men and women who were in front of him at this moment. They were elite fighters with abilities surpassing ordinary humans.
Jaelani, despite his sky-high rank, was ultimately just an ordinary human being. Compared to the soldiers who called themselves fighting wolves before him at this time, Jaelani was a very weak creature. Jaelani was fully aware that she would not have time to cry out for help before one of them could easily take her life. Jaelani knows and understands that. Including the fact that the civilian youth who had just defied him were also among them. With the same skills as all of them.
So, the apology without sincerity that he got from Munding may be the only savior of his pride as a ‘komandan’ in front of the Red and White team that is his responsibility.
