"What? how can that be?" Alice asked in surprise, wondering who the person who had the courage to disturb Franchisca's family was.

"I don't know but Rangga just said that if the people assigned to guard Amel, they would all perish and Amel couldn't be contacted." Yusuf walked over to Alice who was still sitting in front of the computer, a little surprised that there was a group that dared to mess with the Franchisca family. "Can you do it Alice?"

"I could, but I don't want to do it." His face seemed to show that it was none of his business. "Even if it will make that stupid man intervene, I won't care, because it's pointless. Darman doesn't have enough influence to shake the world and I don't want to waste my time taking care of small children, just tell Rangga to call the authorities security."

"Wai... wait what?" Yusuf agreed with her but he couldn't believe Alice would say something ridiculous like that, "Please Alice...she is very precious to me," Yusuf said pitifully.

"For someone who always regards other people's lives as nothing more than chess pieces, I'm surprised to hear that nonsense from you."

"Damn, just do it quickly! Sometimes people change, right? Do you want to get this city into trouble?" Yusuf took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket. "Darman doesn't have as much influence as Marcus or Jonathan, but he's still part of Liber Alice."

"Yeah, ya I understand." Alice tries to find Amel's whereabouts through various things, such as through CCTV traffic, cell phone tracking, and various other methods that she can do. "Just this once, I will help you. But I'm very surprised that you really care about her (Amel). What are you planning to do now?"

"What do you mean? I'm not planning anything right now."

"Don't joke, Yusuf. I've lived with you for years, I also know what you've always done since the beginning." Alice leaned her back, letting her AI program work. "If I wanted, I could reveal all the bad things you did in the past by stating that you...."

"Just shut up and do your job Alice!" said Yusuf, he said it slowly but the sentence was quite intimidating to Alice. Realizing that his emotions were overflowing, Yusuf tried to regain his breath and then sat down on a sofa. "I'm done Alice, I'm tired of playing with trash like them, I just want to live my life in peace, far from many problems. I'm sick of living surrounded by trash."

Yusuf gripped his chest tightly. Everyone says that as time goes by the pain will disappear and one day someone will replace it. Yusuf used to believe that. However, now? does the pain disappear? Has someone replaced him? He wondered in his heart, why did he do that ridiculous thing at that time? If only he had made smarter decisions, perhaps now he would be living happily like the others.

"Meet!" Alice suddenly shouted, it seemed her AI program had found Amel's location. "My AI program discovered that Amel was in-"

Yusuf, who heard this, immediately got up from his seat and walked over to Amel, "Where is she?" he asked, interrupting Alice's words before she went anywhere.

Alice tried to zoom in on her monitor screen to clearly see the address being pointed to, "I think she's not far from here," she said and Alice showed CCTV footage which showed Amel being taken by an unknown person into a similar building. like a Night Club.

Without waiting long, he quickly put on his jacket then took his motorbike keys which were lying on the table, "Call me if something happens and send me the complete address!" he said then quickly left.

"Wait Yusuf!" Alice stopped Yusuf steps in the doorway. He was still worried about one thing. She believed in Yusuf, never doubted him at all, but at this moment for some reason her instincts told him that Yusuf was planning something very dangerous. "Are you really not planning anything?"

Yusuf sighed, who didn't know what else he had to say to make Alice believe what he was saying, "No, Alice, I'm not planning anything, believe me. I've stopped getting involved in troublesome things like that," he said.

"I doubt it."

"It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not? Because even if I'm planning something, maybe it will be the end of my life too!" he said and just walked away.

The sound of the door closing, the room became dark and quiet again. Alice deliberately doesn't turn on the lights in the house because she prefers to be in a dark and quiet room. Apart from that, a dark room can also minimize the use of excessive electrical power.

Alice let her body drift away, her head hurt a lot because recently she had little time to do troublesome activities like sleeping. If only there was a super power in this world, Alice would want a power that could keep her from falling asleep and stay awake, because maybe that would enable her to enjoy life twice as much.

She pressed and shifted his mouse pad, looking at what was popular on social media. The cursor points to the restore down icon, the monitor screen now displays two social media accounts with different domains; The right side is for social media on the surface web, while the left side is for the dark web.

It is very important for her to know what is trending in society. To drive, to control society so that it continues to run according to norms and as it should. And when her eyes were focused, a message notification appeared from an unknown person in the bottom right corner of his monitor screen.

Full of surprise and suspicion, Alice immediately saw the message from the unknown person. Strange, even though there are only three people in the world who have his personal number, did he accidentally leave a trace? Or is there someone who is already aware of his existence? both of those things were almost impossible because he really believed in his abilities. The only possibility is that someone leaked his whereabouts, it could be Joseph, a dead person, and someone he never wanted to see again in his entire life.

'Can we talk for a moment? I will wait for you in this room.'

That was the content of the message sent to her computer, but Alice didn't follow what the sender said at all. Instead of pressing the link listed below, he prefers to track the person back and look at the CCTV outside his house in case someone is monitoring him. "Does he think I'm stupid enough to just follow his wishes? Damn it!"

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Yusuf has arrived at the place where someone kidnapped Amel. Strangely, the place looks like a nightclub, even though the sun is still shining, for some reason the club looks like it is already busy with visitors. It's a bit surprising because it's still too early for them to operate.

Get off the motorbike then walk towards the club entrance. There were two large men with a scary appearance standing in front of the entrance, they both seemed to be guards from the club because everyone who wanted to go in had to show something like an invitation letter. Without feeling afraid, Yusuf continued to walk towards the two big men.

"Show your invitation card!" ordered one of the guards once Yusuf was in front of the two of them.

"Sorry I don't have one, but could you guys let me in? There's someone I need to meet in there!"

"Go home, kid!" shouted the big man threateningly. "You better leave before I destroy you! This is no place for a brat like you!"

"Are you serious?" Yusuf looked away in any direction, he chuckled softly, no one had ever dared to say this to him before. "Can I go inside for a moment? I just want to look for someone, if I find him I'll come back out, how about that?"

"Can't!"

The two guards seemed determined not to let Yusuf enter, so like it or not he had to do it the old and very old way. Violence is the only way if problems cannot be resolved in a family manner. Even though the two bodyguards had large bodies, it was not difficult for Yusuf to defeat them both, even when a group of people from within ran to help the two guards by attacking Yusuf, they were defeated easily.

Whether it's a firearm or a sharp weapon, both of these things are useless in front of Yusuf. I don't know how many people have come to try to attack him, but it all ended in vain, he can defeat them all very easily, like children playing with ants.

There are many rooms in this club, like it or not, Yusuf has to open the rooms one by one and the most annoying thing is that the number of people trying to attack him is increasing. It's so strange, it turns out this place isn't as busy as it was when he saw it outside, is that just a diversion so he doesn't get too suspicious?

Who knows how many rooms there were, he finally managed to find the room where Amel was being held. Amel was seen lying on the sofa, unconscious, with the kidnappers sitting next to her. When he entered the room, he could smell alcohol, cigarettes and narcotics so that without saying much, Yusuf immediately destroyed everyone in the room without mercy.

His emotions were running high, he didn't care whether they were begging for mercy or not. He just beat their bodies blindly.

"Stop it, that's enough!"

Yusuf turned around to see someone who was talking to him. And from behind the man appeared an armed group who started aiming at him.

"Long time no see!"

"Do we know each other?"

"No." The man smiled. "But I know you. You are a crazy bastard from the gang led by Jaka, who is always at odds with my group. My men always say that you are the only person who is difficult to deal with."

"They're overestimating it." Yusuf sat on a sofa, now his eyes with the man were facing each other, even though there were many firearms pointing at him he remained calm, "Let's get straight to the main topic. The reason I came here was just to look for one of my friends who was kidnapped here. My informant said if he was brought to this place by one of your men! and now I have found him, but can you answer one question of mine?"

"What?" the man took out a cigarette.

"I just want to know what your men have done to my friend. Seeing so many disgusting things like this on the table makes me want to mutilate all of you!" calmly he leaned his back. "Depending on your explanation-"

"What would you do if all this happened as you thought?" asked the man, interrupting Yusuf's words while burning a cigar that he took from the table in front of him. "You are just a fish living in a pond. You don't know how vast this world is, just because...."

"You're the one who doesn't know how big the damn world is!" Yusuf leaned forward again, his sharp eyes just looked like a kitten to the man. "Don't you understand, having trouble with the Franchisca Group is like digging your own grave?"

Yusuf's threat seemed amusing, everyone in the room laughed at him. But suddenly Yusuf said something that made them all silent, even the man's calmness disappeared.

"You're not the boss damn it, bring your boss here right now! Where is he?" don't stop there. "I think Andrew is not a loser who doesn't dare to show his face!"

"Damn it, I won't let you leave alive!"
