Max raised his gaze as the sound of the door being forcefully opened. His blue eyes stared intently at the man who had just entered. But a second later frowned at Alex's anxious expression.

"You look stupid at times like this, Alexander. Tell me, what's making you this way?"

The owner of the ash bead blinked slowly before reporting. "We have word that Thompson's men are about to enter the harbor."

Max smiled thinly. "Sea line?"

"Si, Senor," replied Alex. But the next moment he looked surprised. "Senor, have you known this before?"

"Stephen tried to contact me, but Sara overheard. I thought this was just the bad guy's wits" Max said grinningly. He put the pen that had been stuck in his finger.

"When will they arrive? And do you also have any information on their plans?"

Alex shook his head making Max grin wide. His blue eyes returned sharp, piercing right at the heart of the defense anyone could see. And Alex knows there's a sinister plan hidden there.

"How, Senor?"

"No need to welcome. The military is ours, isn't it? Just need to place the grenade without fire then everything is in order." The grin on his lips grew wider, with an extremely sharp eye, as sharp as a double-edged sword.

Today, Max's figure returns to being a wild wolf after a long time in his burrow. No mercy, the blue bead that yesterday was full of happy highlight, now turned dark.

"Go on a date, I know the blonde girl didn't let you go. After all, it is not good to suppress the arrival of our esteemed guest. I also need to date my wife for the rest of this good day" she said with a big smile. It was as if the news had not stirred up Max's already burning cruel soul to want to kill.

Alex's lips clucked violently, but a sigh of relief also escaped from there. At least Max hasn't run into the nest yet which could destroy his plans this time. Alex did plan to do something but Max already knew.

Max got up from his chair after finishing some files that were directly given to Melanie.

"So much left unresolved?" ask the woman who is now dressed more modestly.

"Everything's done, Senor."

"You can also go on a date today, Melanie. My mood's good, so, you can get a half-day's clearance."

The beautiful woman's bead instantly sparkled, but it instantly dimmed. "There's still nothing I haven't finished, Senor. Thanks for the permission."

"Ck, Alex gave this stupid woman some understanding. He needs a companion to accompany his poor life," said Max, sneeringly glancing at Melanie, who was slightly pursed in front of him.

Without saying a word, Max picked up his suit that covered the back of the chair, passing from there like a wind that blew wherever he wanted.

Inevitably, Alex chased after him with wide strides, trying to keep pace with the big boss whose mood was suddenly good today. Not sure what Max was thinking, Alex could not dive into the man's mind.

Sometimes happy for no reason, and angry for no reason. Max, who is now like a cat who toyed with a mouse in his hand before being pounced on, eats away until the bones are left.

His wide footsteps stopped in front of the elevator door, waiting for Alex who was certainly in a hurry to follow him and open the door.

"You can't wait to see your lover, can you?"

"Not a lover, but a mistress," Alex denied.

Discussing women certainly made him uncomfortable, let alone the person in question was a bully girl who was like a fly, following wherever there was a carcass.

Max chuckles. "Storage? You have another lover?"

"No."

Max's laughter echoed in the elevator, making Alex's face flushed red. Max watched that, silently grinning.

"Have a mistress but no real lover. Your brain is really troubled, Alex."

"Better a troubled brain than a heart that falls victim to feelings, Senor."

Max twists lazy eyeball. It's also true that Alex's view of relationships is better to use the brain than the heart. Because the hearts are the victims.

Stepping wide into the parking lot, Max again left Alex chasing after the lag.

"You can call a cab to take you home, Alex. I can't wait to see my wife today."

Max ruled with a relaxed tone, a flat face as if nothing had happened. Without him knowing Alex is already upset about being played.

"Oh yeah, don't bother me with the job phone. Today I was busy" he chuckled and got into the car letting Alex swearing in his place.

"Damn, I should have banned him from calling me on personal matters. Already gone without taking me, still have face to say like that. The wall!"

My wife has another opinion. All the wishful thinking in her head disappeared along with the cheerful smile of Sara who wanted an extreme date.

"You didn't forget to bring your gun, did you?"

"Hey, it's an object that can't be left alone, honey."

Sara chuckles. They're on their way to a place Sara used to be after.

"You have to train me properly. I'm a very ambitious person now" Sara said in a stern tone. His hands clenched in thought of the contents of Alana's notice this morning.

Max chuckles. His left hand held the car's steering wheel while his right hand clenched his wife's clenched hand held in anger.

"The ambition will destroy you, dear. A winner is not about being able to beat, but keeping his wits healthy. So, you can't be stressed thinking about this. Follow the flow, then you can read what path you can use."

Sara looked at her hand that Max was holding. Then turn to the blue eyes that focus on the road ahead. Sara knows Max wants a romantic date like a man and a woman as usual.

But the present situation is not favorable to them. Sara thought this was a good time for her to practice shooting. Train psychic and physical face obstacles in the future.

Sara's determined. He wanted to protect himself and put up a barrier in his heart for people who had no compassion. Including the man known as his real father. Thompson, Sara hates that name. Even now the desire of his heart was eager to kill the man with his own hands.

"Sara, control yourself!"

Max's voice broke the full reverie of his emotions. "Sorry, have we arrived yet?"

"You daydreamed. Come down, you can satisfy your ambitions here."

With a hand carrying two threads of carnmantel rope, Sara stepped wide to the edge of the cliff. Put up Chock and friends, python and wear hardness on his body. Prepare to conquer the cliff that looks quite steep.

"Max, do you have a moving target?" sara shouted as Max was still far behind her who was preparing some equipment for her.

"A rabbit?"

"Come on, don't joke. That cute little animal can't be an experiment."

Max grinned and approached her. "Don't you think so when you want to kill someone else? Sara, don't be so naive, life isn't as funny as you see in a rabbit's body."

Sara chuckles and hits Max's shoulder. "Don't worry, you said the winner doesn't have to beat, right? All right, give me ten rabbits for the first try."

Taking out the gun she was meant for, Sara prepared to climb the cliff and hunt the rabbit. It's a bit difficult, because it's the first time Sara's shot practice and rock climbing has challenged guts.

And it's extreme things like this that Sara likes so much. Until the middle, he started targeting the target. Although his heart was weak to see the cute rabbits lying lifeless, it was still a goal he had to achieve more cute than that later.

Sara laughed considering how troublesome Alex was when told by Max to catch the poor rabbits. And Sara knows, there's something inexplicable going on between Alex and Claire.

"More, Max! I'm getting bloodthirsty now!"

Sara screams happily as Max drives away the rabbits he targeted. With moving objects increasingly challenging Sara's ambitions. Many times he pulled the trigger, but the shot this time was a little difficult.

"Only two tails succeed" he murmured limply.

If there was no hardness supporting her body, maybe Sara had fallen from the steep cliff. Sara was tired, but only a few minutes.

"Is there a time for rest?" he shouted again at Max who was below, watching him from a distance.

"A deer again!"

"okay!"

The longer, the deer could not be pursued by Sara. Although the position is at high altitude, but the deer that run is very agile it is really difficult to hunt.

He gasped in shock as Max suddenly held his hand and helped him target the target.

"When did you get up here?"

"I told you, ambition will defeat you. Even if you're at the top, you'll still lose if you don't play pretty."

Sara cones. Of course he couldn't hunt that elk who was good at dodging it. And without warning, Max pulled the trigger until it hit the target.

"Patience and meticulous, that's the key to success in a mission like this."
