Two Revenge of Lightning
36. Who Killed James?
Two men at the end of the street are waiting for something. They were wearing labourer's clothes.
"Get everything ready! We've got to make a scene!" said one of them.
"Don't worry, I've done my best to prepare. Our friends are in the ranks of the demonstrators. They will also make things even more chaotic."
"Alright, make no mistake."
"Of course!" The two waited, one of them wearing a bag.
And, from the other direction of the street, A line of protesters came, many of them carrying huge banners. They had so many demands. One of them was to save the workers. They were all mostly workers who had been victimised by dismissals from many companies.
The companies can't pay them anymore; they are in bankruptcy. So, big companies were forced to dismiss workers at a time when their companies were running a huge deficit.
The two people who had been standing by joined the group. The group was all shouting, demanding justice at the president's office in the city center. The line of protesters was huge; they all came and demanded the government help them in a difficult economy, and they no longer had jobs.
In the state palace building, they were all held back by a tightly guarded line of defence forces. They pushed each other; they insisted on seeing the president. Some time later, a delegate from the police told them that the president would call some of their delegates.
Just then, the sound of an explosion occurred at the gates of the state palace. One of those who already had a plan threw a bag, and it exploded quite strongly at the gate of the presidential palace.
Booooom!
"They're just looking for excuses; they won't give us a chance!"
"They can only eat our taxes!"
"They don't want to help us!"
"That's right! That's right!"
Chaos ensued, clashes amidst billowing smoke. There were many casualties, and it started a new thing with the government and the people.
The government was not on the side of the common people.
The news got hotter, and the government was backed into a corner. And demonstrations took place all over the city. Everyone was demanding justice. The move for a standby operation was echoed, and the people no longer felt safe. They need clarity about their security and economic problems.
Operation Standby One became a trending topic, and that was the start of chaos across the country.

"Harold! Have you prepared everything for tomorrow night?" asked General Bison while fixing the star on his shirt.
"Everything is ready, General. All the leaders of the assassin houses have been contacted. They will all come and await instructions from the general," replied Harold, who was one of Bison's three strongest forces. The three forces were Ricky, Nicon, and Harold. All three were special forces trained since joining the military.
The three people who have high combat abilities are given specialisation by Bison and trained continuously. The three of them were special forces who were recruited and trained strictly by Bison. All three, arguably, are elite troops like assassins who are specially trained and secret.
In fact, their identities are kept secret, and they never meet their families. They are assigned in secret and may only see their families once every few years.
"Well done, Harold. I will turn this country into a safe and prosperous place, unlike today, where everyone is only concerned with themselves. This is my dream, Harold."
"Of course, General. We will always support you."
General Bison smiled and patted the shoulder of Harold, who was still bowing his head.
"You will be rewarded for your sacrifice, Harold. I truly believe in you."
Harold never worked alone; on missions, the three of them were always assigned specific tasks. You guys said Bison, referring to the three hidden, strongest troops Bison had behind the scenes.
"We will always follow you, General. Whatever the general orders, we will always be your hands and feet."
"Good, Harold."
Bison left; Harold was still inside. Bison had to get back to his activities. Preparing everything until their mission was carried out. He had to remain subservient to the government, supporting them. Bison had already seen this country in chaos at the hands of power holders who were only hungry for wealth and power.
Bison wanted everyone to bow down to him until everyone got what they wanted.
This rebellion was for the welfare of all the people, allowing them to feel the same way. No more wealth owned by a few—that is Bison's dream.

"Mr. Bagas!" Khalid's voice said this after Bagas picked up the phone.
"What is it, uncle Khalid? Bagas understood that there must be something important.
"Tonight, everything will begin. In the preparatory meeting for taking over the country, General Bison only summoned seven bigwigs from the assassin organization. It looks like things are about to start."
Bagas smiled. "Alright, Uncle. I will convey that to Shadow Eagle immediately. Thank you for everything."
Click!
Bagas opened his closet; Shadow Eagle's jacket and mask were well hidden. He was just one step away from avenging himself. This was all Bagas had been waiting for—the final battle that would consume everything. Bagas also did not know what the end of all this would be.
Will he be able to defeat the leaders of the seven assassin organizations? They are not enemies that can be faced easily. Bagas knew that they were the assassins with the strongest power.
However, Bagas must take care of them all. This was all for the sake of revenge and the task the system had given him.
[Your Title: Assassin Killing Machine]
Complete your task; this is the reward of the life you receive. The reward of completion is prepared for you.
Your time in the world has 3 days left; you have already used 57 days. If you haven't completed the task by the end of the time, you will disappear from this world.
Bagas doesn't care about anything now. This is a chance to live, no matter how much is left. Bagas will kill Peter and erase Dark Head.
Just wait!
Your destruction will come! Bagas clenched his fists. Tonight, he would get important information about Bison's mission and the assassin leaders.

"Has everyone gathered? Bison sat up and propped his chin with both hands.
Bison looked alternately at the seven most powerful people in the assassin organization. This was the most important talk, and of course, those seven people were the ones who kept the secret the most. They all existed until now because they were the best secret keepers.
In Assassin's Law, they have guidelines that are always adhered to in order to survive as killing machines. The secret of who ordered and also the target, they will keep that secret even with their own lives.
The Seven Supreme Assassins own the seven remaining assassin organizations. Of course, that was because the other assassin houses had been wiped out by someone claiming to be Shadow Eagle.
On the other hand, Bagas obtained important information from the system.
[Mark on Bison's target you can use; he is having a secret meeting with the seven leaders of the assassin house.]
Bagas locked the door to his room; it was time to get some information. Bagas sat on his bed, and he closed his eyes.
[Magic Soul Exchange used, mark obtained] Target: Bison]
Splash!
And Bagas' eyes were now open. He was sitting up and using General Bison's body. Meanwhile, Bison's own soul was unconscious. Bagas saw with his eyes; he must not look different from Bison. He saw, in front of him, seven people sitting facing each other and a long table in front of Bison.
Bison saw the paper in his hand, and that was what Bagas was looking for. On the paper, it was written,
BISON'S PLAN FOR JUSTICE!
Underneath the writing, there were several schemes that had been created. Bagas read it quickly, and he understood what this mission was about.
The seven people were still silent and waiting for what Bison, whose body had been taken over, would say. And Bagas had something else to say before discussing the mission to take over the country.
Bagas also saw that the seven leaders were already holding all the papers about the mission that Bison had given them earlier.
"Peter, leader of Dark Head," Bagas spoke, and his tone was that of Bison. His voice had not changed and was still Bison's tone.
"What is it, General Bison?" asked Peter calmly. He was wearing his usual cowboy hat.
These days, Shadow Eagle has been bothering me a lot. Isn't he part of Dark Head? asked Bison as he opened his eyes wide.
"He's not Shadow Eagle," Peter replied calmly.
"What do you mean, Peter?"
Peter smiled. "There is someone who has a grudge against Dark Head and wants to be famous. Shadow Eagle is dead, and I saw his body myself."
Bison paused for a moment.
"Have you confirmed Shadow Eagle's death?"
Peter smiled again. "You have no doubt; Shadow Eagle is dead, and I was the one who planned his death. He was too arrogant and had to be stopped by me as well as the previous leader of Dark Head.
Brak!
"What!" Bison looked shocked; he was trembling.
And it made the seven leaders shocked by Bison's attitude, who pounded the table with his right hand.
Bison covered his eyes; he knew he was getting carried away. He covered his eyes and finally laughed.
Ha... ha... ha...
The seven leaders waited for what Bison would say.
"Interesting! Interesting! So, this is what happened. The assassins have an enemy, and they fight each other! This is exciting! And of course, after our mission is successful, You will all have high authority with me to make justice in this country a reality!"
Ha... ha... ha...
Laughing, Bagas remembered the seven leaders of the assassin organisation well. And he already knew all of them, even though some of them had not met in person.
Bagas acted well; he had learned well the nature and demeanour of General Bison.
Bison stood up.
So... let's prepare all our forces. This country will be ours!"
The seven assassin leaders also stood up, all of them taking a glass filled with pure purple wine.
"We will be victorious!" the seven assassin house leaders said.
Klang! They toasted, and Bagas smiled. He smiled at the seven people; he would kill them all in due time.
[Magic Soul Exchange cancelled]
Splash!
Wooooshh!
Hah! Hah! Hah!
Bagas opened his eyes, and he came back to his body. He caught his breath and stood up. The time was approaching, and the latest secret had already been obtained. The previous Dark Head leader was also after his life.
So that's it! Just wait!
