Carve To The Last Fight

It's a worthy swap, I guess...

After the woman died, Zee tried to reach a hanging object and opened the cloth covering the hanging object. "Hmm, it turns out that the woman is not making things, her attitude and vigilance are enough to prove that the woman is quite a professional" Zee said what was on his mind to Nath.

"Where are we going now, Zee?" Nath asked him as he descended the stairs from the top floor of the building.

"Of course we will first return to headquarters to prepare some of the equipment we need Nath" with a smile looking at the elevator door in front of him.

Meanwhile, in one of the western suburbs of the capital, the area is a well-known area for the business that many residents are engaged in and is one of the centers for ornamental plant products. Various types to the variety of plants that they bring in from all over, from ornamental plants that are generally in every room as decoration to rare plants which are of course very valuable.

Munawir was seen walking down the sidewalk where on each side there were many sellers of various kinds of ornamental plants. Likewise with the pedestrians who are generally buyers from around the area just to look around before deciding what to bring back to decorate their homes. Now and then there is a chat about some plants that are considered a trend or are being viral from social media because the prices are very fantastic.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir, what kind of plants will I look for?" said a seller offered Munawir when he was looking at one of the types of plants he was holding.

"What's the name of this plant I'm holding?" Munawir returned to ask the merchant.

"Ooh, it's a plant called 'Anthorium' an ornamental plant that comes from a type of bulbous plant with leaves that have a unique pattern and is currently a trend, are you interested?" the merchant explained.

"How much would it cost if I may know?"

"Cheap sir, the one you are holding is only one dollar?"

"What ...?" Munawir seemed unsure of the answer he had just heard, then asked if it was true that the plant was the same plant as the photo on the cellphone that was directed to the merchant.

"Oh.. of course, the same sir, but?" The merchant did not immediately answer, only invited Munawir to enter his shop, and whispered a little in every word he said.

"If it's like this, how much does the plant cost?" Munawir again showed the photo from his cellphone.

"What you show me is the Agronema type plant and there are several types on the market, the price varies from one to five dollars depending on the size of the plant, sir," then whispered if the transaction was following the one in the picture the merchant was willing to prepare the time and place on demand, of course with entertainment costs as mutually agreed.

"Okay, if that's the process, I will contact you again." Munawir then took some plants and paid for them, not forgetting to ask for the contact number of the merchant and advised that later there would be subordinates he sent to continue according to what the merchant said.

After Munawir left, the merchant appeared to be contacting someone with his cell phone, "We have a big project, prepare everything." His face was bright.

"Okay Nath, what's your plan this time?" Draco asked as Zee was watching the mapping display on the app on her phone.

"Sorry Draco, it's time for the girls to act, while you guys have to surrender to be our backup cover ..., he ..., he ..., he ..." Nath joked to his cousin,

"What ...? no, no… I have to be a part of the fun, right Zee?” Draco looked at the girl asking for her response.

“Yup…, as Nath said, the girls are in the lead, can you flex or even fold them?” Zee challenged Draco with a smile.

"Come on Zee, include me, in action this time I promise to follow all the steps in your plan" Draco insisted a little.

"Hmm, well..., well if you insist I will pass your request..., if your body is flexible enough to climb roofs, crawl in sewer culverts, or... um..., what if crawling between the walls of the house that are squeezed together?” Zee offered several options that Draco might be willing to live with. Nath seemed to chuckle slightly at Zee's chatter, which was a challenge that his cousin Draco would not be able to carry out.

"Wouldn't there be more cruel action for me Zee?!" with a slightly grim grunt Draco replied.

"Never mind Draco, this time you just back up cover or diversion according to the original plan" Zee then turned to look at Nath.

“Nath back to the plan for that location, what information did you manage to gather?”

"Okay Zee and you Draco, listen carefully" Nath started the initial description of the target location along with some of the information he had gathered.

The target location is an elite residential area at the foot of the outer mountain area not far from the south of the capital.

Even though it is in an elite area and of course entering the area is very difficult if not impossible for ordinary people to enter. In addition to layered guarding, patrols that are carried out for twenty-four hours, an independent high-tech security system is an absolute thing because the residents of the housing complex are high-ranking officials in the government and even an international organization.

“Now for the bad news and the good news.” Nath took a deep breath before continuing his story.

"Give me the bad news first." Zee raised a finger just thinking about what method would be used to minimize the failure rate.

"The bad news is the self-defense system is difficult if we hack from the outside, so we have to be in the residential neighborhood." Nath then found a way to gain access to enter the area.

"Okay Nath, I want the good news" Draco looked excited.

“The good news is that these settlements are only camouflage in the sense that if we think that the officials or leaders of international organizations occupying these places are their goals. Because the settlement was never occupied by them, this place is a means for them to store or run their business without being intervened by the competent authority because it is in a private property area.”

"So what's the good news, Nath, you've only been explaining the location while we enter the housing?" Draco was a little impatient.

"Patience brother, the good news is that even though everything is self-sufficient to electric power, their need for water still depends on external supplies, you understand what I mean?" A smile appeared on Nath's face towards his male cousin.

"Oh you mean, I went back to my old job as an officer from the water health service, surveying and registering door to door just to calculate the amount of water used for a while..., that's what you want Nath?" Draco was a little annoyed when Nath's cousin started arguing again.

"So what roles will you girls play?" Draco got a little annoyed that he didn't get the slightest hint of the girls.

"Men's better be patient....we wait for Miss Yaomi to come with other equipment" Zee closed the conversation for a moment to just order food.

"Hey guys how are you all?" the greeting of a girl who had just gotten off a vehicle, her steps seemed relaxed towards those who were busy sitting discussing beside the courtyard terrace.

"Hi Yaomi, as usual, wow you look a little different?" Tedy returned the greeting while the others were seen just waving.

"What's different is Tedy, just because I've been missing for a few months, you don't recognize me anymore, it's bad," the girl jokingly responded.

"He ..., he ..., he ..., how long have you been in Singapore Yaomi, or are you not comfortable living here with us anymore?"

"Regardless, I'm still under contract with the production house and currently the production process happens to be located in my beloved homeland." Yaomi briefly told the activities she was doing, then asked permission to meet Zee inside.

"Fun, add another strange girl who misses adrenaline" Tedy joked when the woman stepped into the house.

“Zee….where are you?” his voice boomed up the stairs to the top floor.

“We're on the upper terrace… Yaomi!” Nath and Zee answered at the same time.

The three of them seemed to be embracing, it was obvious the closeness that existed between them while Draco could only shake his head "Huh, what a woman... still".

"Okay straight to the point, what have you just presented to us this time Yaomi?" his hand pointed to the modified backpack that was still attached to his back.

Yaomi smiled as he removed the sticking object from his body and placed it on the table and then began to open it, removing it one by one while trying to explain the number of tools and materials he brought.

"Guys, that's all I can get for now" appeared some makeup kits as well as some wig sets in addition.

"Hey listen Yaomi, I know that your profession is a make-up artist, but why do you do our makeup?" Draco was joking a little.

"Shut up Draco, you better prepare the water transport vehicle it's more helpful!" Zee warned.

"Okay ..., okay ..., I know you guys are a little confused with the things I brought" Yaomi continued, we are not using latex, silicon, or anything like that anymore in terms of make-up or disguise to change the appearance of the face. Today some materials are at least easier to use, some have even surpassed them with increasingly sophisticated technology.

"You mean Naomi?" Nath interrupted the girl's words for a moment.

"Look..., I'll just give you an example," asked Nath to be a model for a moment.

Naomi was seen applying some foundation to the girl's face, and adding some more like most people who apply makeup, then asked Nath to take a view of Zee's face on his cellphone and scan it on a device in his hand. When Nath's face is faced with the scanner, the overall changes are slowly seen.

"Wow..., Wow!" both Draco, Nath, and even Zee were amazed.

"Can you explain specifically Naomi?" Nath still looked so enthusiastic.

“Well, all these make-up materials and tools are the development and amalgamation of art and illusion make-up, if you know the green screen in filmmaking or a real remover jacket just bends or reflects shadows.

This is one level that may be above that because materials such as facial cleansers that are nano-micron in size already contain the same material and one of their functions are to record facial sketches of the jaw structure.

So you imagine if we wear masks made of photo prints but in three-dimensional form and our faces instead of the photo paper.

“You three understand what I mean?” Naomi asked the three of them.

"Earlier you said there was something more sophisticated, like what?" Zee looked impressed and wanted to know more.

"Hmm, although I don't know that the product is already on the market or it's still just a research, but based on rumors I can say that the device is more sophisticated and its use is just like using a cellphone headset and easily changes according to needs, I don't know the name, holographic face shield or something like that” Yaomi answered, and added that the device had a lot of demand.

"But Naomi has one more question for you?"

"What is it, Nat?" New Yaomi responded quickly, seeing the girl's face look a little serious.

"Are you ready to rock and roll again like before?" Nath and Zee looked at each other until the three of them didn't realize they laughed together again.

"Yeah, of course, if the bee princesses have gathered..., we'll have to be busy shaking the flower pollen" Draco left the terrace realizing that this time he had to admit that his fellow girls, were far superior to him.

Meanwhile, in a different place, Munawir, who had just returned to his office, seemed to be playing with a gadget, his hands were busy gathering and searching for some information and occasionally watching a viral show on a piece of content.

A video call made him have to distract himself for a moment.

"Yes, Mr. Rozak, I have handed it over to the person concerned and some scheduled meetings with him," the face of the interlocutor who was none other than the leader smiled.

"Oh yes, have you purchased the plant order to decorate the office space according to the size and quantity?" The man asked again, of course with a certain intention as if they were used to a certain style of speaking to avoid something they didn't want such as wiretapping or something like that.

"Yes sir, maybe I will send Japra and Mamat back to get it," said Munawir briefly, shortly after closing the video call.

Munawir, who had been a follower of Mr. Rozak for a long time, was more or less aware of the game played by his leader. If other people or followers may only think of Mr. Rozak as nothing more than a leader of a community organization that mostly engages in social missions. Of course, this is not the case according to Munawir, who often studies his every move. For him, Mr. Rozak is nothing more than a broker or intermediary, in a harsh language he can be said to be a money laundering officer for bureaucrats to naughty businessmen who need a helping hand and extra security in running a business.

Armed with an organization that tends to have many loyal followers who are easy to move, this is one of the reasons that Mr. Rozak is highly respected by both opponents and friends with similar organizations.

There is a lesson that Munawir might now be able to emulate, now he understands why many entrepreneurs who have a place of business even for decades, have not experienced an increase and even seem to be losing money but continue their business. It's the same with Mr. Rozak, who for decades has owned three shops that have never looked big, and a financial system or hard cash that he still maintains.
