"It turns out it really is under the bridge." Said Alice with a troubled expression.
Neil whistled short, then smiled widely and looked satisfied with continuing to look towards the mansion. While Eiri remained the same with his flat facial expression.
They now stand directly in front of the mansion and also the residence of the leader of the Centric, Frederick Devanky Lutimi, under the largest bridge located to the west of District 1. They were waiting to enter the mansion.
A mansion built in the classic style is like a small palace with walls painted in red and the pillars are cream. 4 Pillars with a height of 11 meters are lined at the very front, 2 large doors that are wide open as an entrance, and 8 large windows. Sentrik's Mansion is the largest man-made mansion ever built under a bridge. It really is a magnificent mansion.
"This time the Eccentric is really very intent."
"Notice your speech, Neil."
"I'm sorry, but you also definitely agree, Eiri, Sentrik this time is too intent."
"So, I'm not sure about that. Seen from wherever the Mansion is great, but build it under a bridge?" Alice responded with a still troubled look.
"Excess is the right word to describe it." Eiri asserted his own opinion with an expression that remained flat.
"I can understand a little if Alice feels a little strange about this, she is indeed still not long in District 1. But you've been here for a long time, Eiri, open this up, it's been very natural for Sentrik." Neil said in a disappointed tone.
"You alone said that they were really intent this time, it was just as much as they were acting excessively for me."
"No!" Alice suddenly interrupted. "Building a mansion under a bridge from scratch is not an act of intent or exaggeration, it is an act that makes no sense!"
Neil and Eiri stared at Alice for a moment, then Neil turned away smiling and took a short breath while Eiri turned with his face still flat. With a straight forward look Neil then said.
"The whole story, but it's like that."
Alice stared at Neil with a troubled look. Neil who felt that smile on his face now started to turn into a slightly wry smile.
"All right, I'll tell you." Neil surrendered.
"Eccentric. They were there 4 years ago."
"It was long before I moved to District 1. But that means isn't Sentrik new?"
"Exactly. The founder of Centrik was Frederick Michel. He was the father of Frederick Devanky Lutimi. Devanky himself was only 1 year old to become the leader of Sentrik in place of his father. Sentrik is still pretty new in District 1. But even so in less than 5 years they have taken control of many places in District 1, including; markets, and also some entertainment venues. Let's say they're now-Eccentric in their heyday."
"So that's it." Alice nodded softly, "For their own business, are they doing the same business as most mafia?"
"Yes, I think they're doing the same business as most mafia, maybe." Neil started to look doubtful.
"Maybe?"
"Of course they smuggle weapons then sell them illegally, they also rent money loan services with repayments can be repaid as well as 3% interest, he said%, and sometimes they can sell some information that some people find very valuable, but it's all just their side business."
"Wait, sideline? That kind of thing is just a side thing!?"
"so. Their main business is selling clothes."
"... Huh huh? Selling clothes?"
"Yup... Selling clothes. Their clothes are famous."
"You guys are done? There's a job we need to do now." Eiri cuts to remind them to refocus. "You can talk about the history of Centrik in the office after this task is done."
"No, wait a minute! Leave aside about all that. All I want to know is why Sentrik always chose under the bridge as his base!" Urge Alice.
"Over the story, Alice, but that's how Sentrik, no, more precisely this is the nature of the two people. Father and son are the same." Neil's face began to turn into a troubled smile.
"Wait what did you mean? At least explain it in more detail. Your habit of always saying but never finishing it sucks!"
"You two are enough!" Eiri exclaimed with a firm tone of voice.
Alice and Neil instantly fell silent. The aura coming out of Eiri started to make them shudder in fear. Eiri then turned around and gave a means of communication to the two of them. Alice and Neil thoughtlessly accepted the device, and immediately put it into their ears.
"Testes, you can hear me?" Yampiee's voice started to sound in their ears.
"Yes, we can hear you." Alice's Response.
"Roger's." Neil's Response.
Eiri turned back from Alice and Neil then went back in line. Then the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Neil smiled back despite not being as relaxed as before. Alice tries to correct her posture.
"I changed my mind, you can tell me about Centrik next time, Neil." Whisper Alice
"That sounds good advice. There's a job we need to finish now."
"Yes, you're right."
Alice confirmed her slight posture in order to feel comfortable with the dress she was wearing. Neil just slightly justified the collar part and also the tie. Eiri who stood in front of them remained calm. The queue is getting shorter. Now it was their turn to enter the mansion.
Before they entered the mansion, they were examined first by two guards at the entrance of the mansion. Eiri who stood at the front was checked first. One of the guards checked the bag carried by Eiri, and one of the other guards checked the body with a metal detector, and also the guards check whether the dress worn by Eiri is made by Sentrik.
After a fairly tight check. The guard nodded to his colleague who was checking Eiri's bag, and another colleague gave a sign that Eiri's bag was safe. The guard then smiled in a friendly manner and let Eiri in. Eiri without looking back immediately took his bag back and entered the mansion. Alice and Neil were finally able to catch up with Eiri after being examined long enough.
"We've all come in. Prepare to run the operation." Eiri alerted Yampiee using a communication tool.
"All right." Yampiee responded, then promptly alerted Ian and River. "The three of them have entered the mansion."
"good. We are ready in position. Ian responded with a satisfied tone. "...Wait a minute, River, you don't fuckin"
"I understand." Yampiee then cuts his channel with Ian, and tells Eiri to give instructions. "Extrust."
"Understand." Eiri replied, then gave the order to Alice and Neil firmly. "Spread."
"Ready..." Neil replied with a relaxed smile, as he walked towards the main room of the mansion filled with guests who arrived, mingled, then became the center of attention to divert people, that was Neil's job.
Alice and Eiri then part ways by taking different paths. Eiri walked up the stairs towards the second floor to take over their CCTV control room. While Alice headed for the electric control room of the mansion which was on the first lower floor.
Eiri starts walking closer to the CCTV room, passing through several two servants who pass by and offer him drinks, Eiri happily receives the drink then continues to continue towards the CCTV room of the Sentrik mansion. Eiri arrived at the door of the CCTV. Eiri saw the circumstances around making sure no one saw him, after making sure it was safe Eiri then opened the door and entered casually. He walks towards one of the computers ignoring the guards lying on the floor unconscious as a result, Eiri reaches into his bag then picks up an ornamental powder from his bag, he then dismantled the ornamental powder and took Yampiee's tools to tap the entire CCTV mansion. Eiri attached the device, and all of Sentrik's CCTV access has now switched hands to Yampiee.
"Hallo, the residents of Centrik." Yampiee said after he managed to access all Central CCTV. "Good dress, Eiri, you look beautiful in that dress."
"Of course, that's for sure." Eiri replied with no hesitation. Eiri succeeded without a hitch. "What about Alice?"
"Alice? He's-"
Notifications began to appear on Yampiee's computer screen showing Alice had succeeded.
"He's been successful, wait a minute." Yampiee then replaced his communication channel with Alice. "Alice? Can you hear me?"
"Well... Haaah... Yak?" Alice replied softly.
"You why? I'll check on you." Yampiee quickly checked Alice's situation through CCTV cameras and managed to find her who was lying.
"I just... I just got-"
"Alice why are you sprawled!? you all right!?" Yampiee asked in a voice that started to sound panicked.
"I just got stung."
".... Huh uh?"
"I was stung by the electricity when I plugged your device in, Yampiee." Alice replied limply and still sprawled. "Yampie? You still there? Yampie? Tests, tests, tests, I need a little help. I can't move my legs. Yampie?"
Yampiee who listened to Alice's explanation began to feel stupid for worrying about her, and immediately turned off her communication channel with Alice, then returned to Eiri's communication channel.
"Alice is fine." Yampiee gave a lie in a flat tone.
"... I-i understand. So he's still down in the basement?" Ask Eiri. Eiri finds out Yampiee is lying and is about to pick up Alice.
"Yes." Yeah."
Eiri immediately came out of the CCTV room and locked the CCTV room, then began to rush to pick up Alice who was in the basement. As Eiri was on the first floor, he looked towards Neil who was in the crowd of people. Neil, realizing Eiri's whereabouts, begins to look for Eiri, and Neil eventually finds Eiri standing 5 meters away from him.
"I'll pick up Alice in the basement."
"He's all right?"
"He's fine."
"All right."
After informing Neil, Eiri immediately went towards the basement. Eiri continued walking through the crowd of people so calmly, no one was aware of his whereabouts. Everything has now focused its attention on Neil.
After passing through the guests in the middle room, Eiri continued walking towards the basement and now he had reached the front door of the basement. Eiri looked at the two guards who were standing firmly with large bodies using sunglasses in a state of complete fainting. Eiri ignored the two guards and opened the door. While Eiri wanted to open the door, it suddenly opened slowly, Eiri, who was aware that someone had opened his door from the inside, immediately took a little step back and started to become alert, but that only happened for a short time, shortly after the door opened and the one that came out turned out to be Alice, Eiri began to lower his vigilance.
"What are you doing here, Eiri?" Alice asked in surprise.
Eiri looked at Alice closely to confirm her condition. Alice looks fine. His heart was relieved.
"I thought you had failed with your duty." Reply Eiri with a face expression and a flat tone.
"Didn't you underestimate me too much? I'm not as weak as you think." Alice who heard the answer from Eiri started to get a little annoyed.
"really? Then why are you so sweaty, your appearance is also messy, and also why can your dress be so dirty like that?"
Hearing the question Alice began to realize and then looked at Eiri whose appearance looked very beautiful and charming, the dress she was wearing also still looked very clean, and the scent that Eiri smelled was so very fragrant.
"Yes that, because, you know... I had to knock out these two guards, and then. ahh, where their electric generator was far enough away and also inside it was very stuffy, so it was very hot, it was only natural that I was sweating. It's so dirty in there, too, my goodness, cobwebs and dust everywhere, it's really dirty."
Eiri listened to Alice's reasoning carefully, although her expression still seemed flat. Alice then came back to realize, that it was useless for her to make excuses.
"Seeing from anywhere that had crippled these two guards was River. Stop making so many excuses. Go to the bathroom and clean up your look." Eiri's orders, with a firm tone. "We met again at the bar."
"Good." Alice replied with a limp.
Eiri then turned around and walked away leaving Alice towards the Bar room. He restarted his communication device, then tried to contact Yampiee.
"First phase is complete."
"alright. We start with phase two, it should..." Yampiee's response, with a troubled-sounding tone.
"What's wrong?" Ask Eiri.
"Ian and River still haven't reached their positions." Answer Yampiee. "I don't know what's holding them both back."
"They're just lost. Relax, it's common."
"... Looks like we can only wait for now."
"really so. I could try some drinks at the bar." Eiri's voice started to sound a little excited.
"What's!? No, not you-"
Eiri disconnects his communication call, and slightly speeds up the pace of his path towards the Bar. Meanwhile, realizing that her call had been broken, Yampiee quickly contacted Alice in a panic.
