"Huh?" Ken was surprised when Codename 07 mentioned this name. He didn't see Alexander's name in the list of targets.
"He wasn't included in your targets, but the boss added him to the list to test you guys." Codename 07 spoke when he saw their stunned expression.
"I see." Ken calmed down when he heard this. 'It seems like Mr. Roa still doubts our loyalty. I can't blame him though...'
"The target is currently in his vacation home in Makati City. There are twenty bodyguards ensuring his safety, but they are scattered all over the mansion. We just need to eliminate them one by one before we take care of the target." Codename 07 calmly said as he showed them an iPad that displayed a photo of Alexander in his vacation home.
Ken stared at the photo while containing the shock in his heart. Information about important figures like Alexander was difficult to acquire, but Arlan's group managed to procure them easily. Their intelligence gathering is even more powerful than MIA (Maharlika Intelligence Agency), the country's official information-gathering organization!
Codename 07 also showed them information about the bodyguards around Alexander and there was even a live footage.
'If we still can't capture Alexander with all this information...' Ken furrowed his eyebrows.
The group traveled for more than twenty minutes before they arrived in front of a lounge bar.

"Follow me." Codename 07 led the group. He commanded them to move separately since they would be conspicuous if they moved together.
Soon, a huge mansion came into their view.
"Here's the plan..."

Arlan went the the commanding general's office with Krizia and Karl. When they arrived at the military headquarters, a high-ranking soldier came to greet them.
"General Rivera is currently speaking with someone so he sent me here to escort you to his office." The soldier politely said.
Arlan smiled at the soldier when he heard this. He knew that the commanding general was entertaining the late president's wife. "Please lead the way."
The soldier nodded his head and brought them to the commanding general's office.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Upon entering the office, Arlan saw the late president's wife talking with the commanding general. She looked incredibly agitated as she poured out all the grievances she had experienced in the last few days. She didn't even notice the arrival of Arlan's group. It was only when the commanding general shifted his gaze from her did she realized that someone had come to the office.
"Hello, general!" The late president's wife shivered when she heard this familiar voice. She slowly turned her gaze and saw Arlan looking at her with an amused smile. "You-!"
"Hello, madam!" Arlan chuckled.
The late president's wife anxiously stood up and pointed at Arlan while shouting to the commanding general. "It's him! He killed my husband! He was the person who kidnapped us! Quick! Capture him!"
The commanding general ignored her sudden outburst. He stood up and lightly pushed her aside before walking towards Arlan. "It's nice to see you, Mr. Roa." He reached out his hand while smiling at Arlan.
Arlan grinned and grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing?! He is a criminal! Capture him!" The late president's wife shouted with a shaking voice. Her eyes revealed a look of horror as she stared at Arlan.
"Oh my... It looks like madam is still unaware of what is happening here." Arlan chuckled as he took a seat.
"She just arrived and she didn't give me the chance to speak." The commanding general shook his head as he laughed lightly.
"As expected of an entitled piece of sh- Ehem! Please pardon my rough language... Anyway, I just came here to catch up with you, general. You guys continue whatever you're doing. We'll just listen..." Arlan's words infuriated the late president's wife, but she was too afraid of him to offer any rebuttal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe commanding general could only smile helplessly at Arlan. This guy was too carefree. "Suit yourself." He replied as he went back to his seat.
The commanding general turned his gaze towards the late president's wife and said. "Madam, please allow mo speak first."
She turned silent at his words.
"The military will temporarily detain you and because your case is a bit special, you are not allowed to see anyone during your detainment. After everything is settled, we will decide on what punishment to give you." Lieutenant General Rivera said with a serious look.
"Huh?! I'm innocent! That guy is the criminal! You should detain him instead! This must be a mistake!" She was disgruntled by his words.
Lieutenant General gave his men a look.
"Please don't make things difficult for us, madam." The soldiers said to her as they grabbed her and pulled her out of the office.
"This is a mistake! I will make you guys pay for this! You don't know what you're doing! Ahhhh! Heeellllppp!"
As soon as they left, the office regained its peace.
"She's finally gone." Lieutenant General Rivera muttered. He looked at Arlan and asked. "So what did you come here for? I don't think you just came here to amuse yourself."
Arlan smiled as he shrugged. "I've already dealt with the president like I promised. I hope you didn't forget your end of the deal."
Lieutenant General Rivera furrowed his eyebrows when he heard this. Looking at Arlan's confident smile, he knew that there was no way he could escape from this guy. "Don't worry. I won't go back on my words, but I'm curious... What is your objective?" Although he promised Arlan that he would work for him, he wouldn't do anything that could potentially harm the country and the people.
"Relax... I won't let you do anything against your conscience." Arlan smiled at him. The commanding general would be of great help to him once the zombie virus spreads.
