The Man of the Future

Chapter 3 (Nack, Pacific Water City Killer Member)

Ice ages that have been going on for centuries. It has now frozen 75% more land on Earth. The same age, which once happened, was the last time in the pelosion age. It happens in the modern age.

This time the ice age will be greater with wider coverage. Where the 2 polar regions of the Earth extend to near 20° latitudes. Even shallow seas dry up, only deep seas and oceans are still filled with sea water.

And there lies the world of oceans, which is divided into several regions of Water City. And one of them was the Pacific Water City, which was the largest Water City on Earth at that time.

 

Like a Space City on the surface of the Earth. It was shrouded by a protective dome to protect from the terrible circumstances that would befall the Space City from the sky. So does the Water City, which has a protective dome, which works much more than that. That is to hold the sea water into the city that is in the ocean.

And this is where the first-class hitmen live and mingle with the ordinary inhabitants of Pacific Water City. Who was at once the protector of the water city. If there's an attack from a group that wants to wreak havoc inside Pacific Water City.

Seen in their headquarters in an oval-shaped house. They are holding a large meeting, attended by all members of the first-class hitmen of the Pacific Air city. They numbered 12. The one standing makes a large circle, with a Leader in the middle, with a distance between the front and back of 5 meters.

"Leader!, do we need to interfere in the fight for the Jade Buddha statue, which appeared a few weeks ago in the underworld?" the person called the Leader was seen to be, standing in the middle of the group. When he heard the words of Nack who had an oriental face, black eyes and middle black hair.

He also smiled faintly at the question of one of the members, even though he was still young. But he was the head of the first-class assassin group in the water city. Which is the strongest assassin group in the Pacific Air City. Even the strongest group of hitmen in the 7 water cities on Earth.

"Of course Nack, we have to interfere in this competence. Moreover, the price offered by Mr. James was very high. That's 20 billion Asiral, what a fantastic price. The price he offered us. Far beyond the offer of Mr. Jhon Swett, the Governor of the Equatorial Space City," he explained, with a handsome but cold face, and wearing a green mesh sweater.

Members of the first-class hitmen of the Pacific Water City, named Nack was just speechless, hearing his Leader's remarks. Only his little heart spoke. For the words of his leader, who can be said to be close to him.

"What money is in his mind?. Does he not remember last year Jack and the others being killed by one of the Well family members in the line of duty?" nack said, in his heart.

He began to speak again, to the Chairman named Clark.

"But Chief, do you not consider the enormous risk, if we clash with the members of the Well family again. Have you forgotten, if last year. Jack and 20 of our friends were killed by one of the Well family members. In capturing the golden samurai of the Empire of Japan from the 10th century?" said Nack, bringing up the incident 1 year ago. Where their group clashed with Er Well. Who was Mark's adoptive father.

It was the greatest clash in the history of the assassin group. Where 21 members of the group died by Er Well, when they captured the golden samurai of the Japanese empire, which is now stored on Mount Well. 21 People died at the hands of Er Well alone. According to Saxon, one of Clark's assassins. Who managed to escape the ferocity of Er Well, while slaughtering his comrades.

It seemed that the person called Leader within the assassin group was staring intently at Nack. It was as if he wanted to read Nack's mind and heart, through his eyes.

"Yes, I still remember and will never forget that. Then why!, are you that scared of the Well family?. Or are you, uh, maybe Well phobia?" it was like stabbing Nack's heart.

Heard the words of his Leader. The other members stared at Nack. With their respective perceptions, of Nack.

And silence was created for a moment, among all of them. But a moment later, Nack made his voice again. To answer Clark's words.

"Not that I'm afraid of them, let alone being Well Phobia. But I just don't understand?. Why does money matter so much, rather than human life. Not that life and that life, is a gift from God" replied Nack, sternly but softly.

"You want to know Nack's answer" Nack nodded his head. Without making his voice.

"Nack, with money we can do anything we want. Including to make clones of dead people, such as Jack and others. Or turn them into half-robots. It can be done by money. Do you understand my way of thinking, Nack?" timpal Clark, affirming his mind to Nack and his other men.

"I don't understand your way of thinking, Chief. By cloning Jack and the others. Will their souls come back on our side?, it's not the Leader. Cloning technology can only copy humans in terms of physical and intelligence alone. But not with their souls and hearts, which we know all along. Which is impossible to clone" said Nack at length. Which seems to be refuting the beliefs and thoughts of the Leader.

"Nack, Nack, you've always challenged me. But that's what I like about you. Other than you, no one dares to oppose the decision I have made within our group. But this time, don't challenge me. This is the final decision of myself, as your leader," Clark said firmly, which made a tense atmosphere begin to occur between them.

"Can't be a leader. The decision is not just yours. But all the decisions, they're in the hands of all the members. It is the most votes that can determine. Yes or no, this mission can be done!" timpal Nack firmly, standing 5 meters in front of his Leader.

"If I don't want to, what do you want?" clark asked, as if to challenge Nack. By stepping his feet step by step slowly\slowly towards Nack.

"I'M GOING TO FORCE YOU!" nack said, shouting.

After saying so, Nack came forward and ran, attacking his Leader. But it was blocked by one of the other members. He immediately attacked Nack. With his right hand smashed into Nack's body, violently. Which resulted in Nack falling backwards.

And when that happened, a member of the group approached Nack, to help him.

"Nack are you okay?" tanya Tella, who is the only female member in the assassin group. He thrust his right hand towards Nack. With the intention of helping Nack stand up. Which Nack gently brushed aside.

"No Tell, I'm fine" replied Nack, then got up on her own, without Tella's help.

"You're not lying, Nack?" he asked, with sincere attention.

"No Tell, trust me" answered Nack flatly.

Seeing the incident, the leader of the assassin group approached Nack. In haste. As if he wanted to make sure, if Nack was okay.

"Nack, are you okay?. I was just kidding. Do not take your heart and be taken seriously. It's not that I don't want to make a decision by voting, and approve your proposal is Nack. I'm not serious, I wanted to go to the toilet first. You were too emotional just now, consider my words really. But never mind, assume this never happened" Clark explained, then smiled at Nack. Which makes her cold face more attractive. Because of the smile he rarely does.

Clark then glanced at his men, who had attacked Nack. With that incident. Clark also abandoned his intention to go to the toilet.

"Saxon, quickly apologize to Nack for what you did," Clark ordered the Saxons, whose eyebrows were always wrapped in black bandages.

"Clark, I'm not wrong, am I?. It's not my job to protect yourself as a leader" Saxon said, harshly. Dare to refute his Leader's remarks.

"Yes, I know that. But your punch was too hard, if only to teach a friend a lesson" said Clark, the head of the hit group.

Saxon's black-haired shoulder to shoulder, not moving from where it stood.

 

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the Saxons, Nack realized it, until finally he was the one who succumbed to the problem.

"It's the leader he's not wrong, I'm the one who's wrong" said Nack, smiling wryly.

"Yes, you're the one who's wrong, Nack, not me. Clark, you're the one who spoils her too much. Don't you like it?" saxon said with a sharp word.

"I like it or not, it's none of your business!" clark replied, with a frown.

"That's it!, you two don't fight. We should do the proposal given by Nack right now," said Tella, trying to cool the atmosphere is getting heated.

"All right, we do it now," then Clark stands where he was.

"Who agrees, we're competing in the fight for the Jade Buddha statue?" ask Clark, ask the rest of the members.

And apparently, almost everyone agreed that it was marked by their index finger pointing upwards, except for Nack and Tella.

"Nack's decision you can see the result, right?. If we have to interfere also in the fight for the Jade Buddha statue," Clark said, heading towards Nack.

"There is no other choice. The last path was already used," Nack said in his heart, then said to Clark.

"Okay, Chief, I accept this decision. So what do we do now?" ask Nack to Clark.

"I will send 5 of you, to steal the Jade Buddha statue," Clark explained, revealing his plans to his men.

"Stole?, aren't we hit men?" felton said, one of them. With that shock.

"Why Felton, do you mind?" ask Clark, which leaves Felton speechless. I dare not answer Clark's words. Until Clark says back.

"Now, last year we tried to steal the golden samurai of the Empire of Japan from the 10th century, even though we failed in that mission. Then what's wrong if this time we do the same thing, maybe the results will be different," explained Clark.

"Leader, so are we now like the Well family, who are thieves and antique hunters?" asked Felton again. Finally dare to speak again.

"Yes, it can be said that way. Well's family is like that too. Sometimes they work as assassins like us. So what's wrong if we're like them now. And there's nothing wrong, if we're as dynamic as they are" Clark explained.

And the atmosphere of silence was re-created among all of them.

"Have it, don't talk about it again. I will assign 5 of you to ascend to the underworld" Clark said, pointing at 5 of his men, one by one with his right index finger.

"Felton, Holman, Febian, Tella and you're Nack, as the leader. Which I will be assigned to on this mission," Clark said, with all seriousness.

"But Clark, why wasn't I included. Have you forgotten about me?" the Saxons protested against the decision that Clark had taken.

"No Saxon, I didn't forget that you were. But this time, let Nack take your place. It wasn't that Nack hadn't ascended to the underworld in a long time. So just give him one chance this time," looks of disappointment on Saxon's face. His eyes stared intently at Nack, hatefully.

"Awas you're Nack, I'll trap you. And I ruined you. I have friends who are much stronger than you. You're Clark too, your position as Chairman I'll be replacing soon. Look who I really am. You two I will fight sheep, until your good relationship will be destroyed, and I will enjoy the results later" Saxon said in his heart, saying his bad intentions.

"Well Clark, this time I'll give in to him. But for the next time, I won't budge" Saxon said haughtily.

"Thank God, if you can understand my decision. Besides we've got 12 people left, you're more needed here, Saxon. You can take my place when I'm not here" said Clark, who made Saxon a big head.

"Yes, I am ready to replace your position, Leader." saith Saxon firmly, with a hidden meaning that is only understood by himself.

"Now it has been established, who will carry out this mission. Do you all agree?" ask Clark to all those people.

It seems that everyone agrees, Clark's decision, including Saxon. Even in his heart, he did not approve of the decision.

 

After the meeting was over they then returned to their respective places, to regroup tomorrow at the same place.
