Chapter 24

Their sole ride engine has been heating up since Marcel Dubois’ fine-tuned condition declared. A regular military helicopter usually requires 5 minutes to warm up. A Presidential carrier in this department, however, only demanded 2 minutes of preparation at the most. Its manufacturer has added numerous advancements for its equipment based on the President’s hectic agenda.

The President strides away from Ginorno State Hospital for scheduled conference to maintain. Natalie gives him outlines and the text representing several issues settled amidst their warfare against Armea, from which she explains as they storm out from the hospital,” this is for our conference meeting with our General. Our recent loss of a high-ranked commander has created a heavy tumult in the military office. They pleaded for quick and adamant solutions straight away, hence today’s extraordinary meetings to be held.”

She pointed at a few pointers on the paper. It is a clipped news headlines from yesterday’s press release,” If you don’t remember the details. It’s right here, Mr. President. I have underlined the most important segments over its paragraph and trimmed unrelated issues at that day.”

“Thank you, Natalie. I will read this as we go.” The President replied.

Man, I must attend a meeting over incidents that I have been enmeshed into.

It says,’ an unidentified assault: General Kowalski died in a horrific SD-18 Leopard Tank show-off.’ I can assume that Baron Schneider has defeated one of the bosses in a single blast. Me, in that regard, but I still don’t know how that young man would anticipate about such new-found fame without knowing of its occurrence that happened.

So, the research department of Naulus has found indestructible material called ‘Beastium’. Their ignorance was fueled by such promising invention and the scientists thought that our General could withstand every rounds of explosive shells from the enemy’s cavalry. A lot of prior examinations have preceded its field test, so their self-assurance flourished afterwards for them to suggest General Kowalski’s participation within the show of force on the battlefield.

Well, a titanic circumstance. Not that I never heard of it in some ways.

” What’s next in our timetable?”

The President glances upon his personal assistant, which was occupied with loads of paperwork on her palm already. Despite of her own errands to settle, Natalie responded with a coy smile embedded to the lips.

“Our next venue for today after the military conference is located near the downtown area of Hubrana. We have built a new suspension bridge to replace the one that was destroyed by Armea.” She replied, then proceeded to whisper a little over the President’s left ear afterwards, “don’t forget of my message earlier. I will handle our secret thoroughly.” She continued.

Oops. What should I do about some issues I have never been participated with? Let’s see where it goes.

~kriek~

Inside the helicopter, a woman cushioned herself deep into the seat. The President perceives less of the nose from the widely-opened door. It raises up soon after the woman be made aware of their arrival, thus giving him a complete overview of Her appearance in full.

Her name is Samantha. Marcel Dubois has stored that name outside ‘romance’ chapter of his brain. I don’t have to investigate the President’s personal life to find out of her name. it shows once the entire face displayed before my eyes.

So, in other words, the man has never thought of his wife as a spouse at all. No ulterior motive for that, perhaps?

She was infuriated. A pair of green-colored eyes heavily directed towards Natalie as slanted eyebrows adorned. Her teeth go exposed, for the woman formed rectangular lips upon the wrath that goes overflow,” Why’re you stood beside her, you cheatin’ liar!?” She pouted.

Whoa, cheating?

“That is one serious accusation, honey.” The President tried to calm her down,” How do you think I’m cheating with her?”

Ahead of the President’s attempt to deny such indictment, Natalie proceeded to keep her mouth shut. The personal assistant seemingly waited for a chance to speak. Yet, due to Marcel Dubois’ encounter the woman’s interest was barred until an adequate rejoinder appears from the woman in charge.

“You have that hell-born woman’s bikini in your room two days ago. I just have to throw that underwear to the hospital’s laundry and have them checked its DNAs out, and you’ll be found guilty, Marcel Ethan Dubois!” She retorted.

Natalie smirks a little against her rage,” Do you have other proof to mention, Mrs. Dubois?” She replied in relaxed tone of hers. Against minimum response from the personal assistant, the woman goes even more mad on her seat.

“You have to say that, Natalie? Fine, I’ll do it myself…”

~stab~

Suddenly, one tranquilizer dart has landed upon her chest. The President sees that clearly as it was shot during the woman’s ongoing attempt for an open investigation of the bikini in her possession. The black-suited man has also been fired at. It nestled safely onto the bare left hand of the man in consecutive manner.

“How could…”

Before the President called the other security personnel, Natalie dragged the man inside. Then, the personal assistant whispered to his ear once more,” I’m the one who did that, Marcel. I have to dispose that bikini to clear up things.” She said.

“Alright. Lead me to it, Natalie.”

The President could say no less than a compliment for such quick-witted action. He was outperformed by his personal assistant, from which sounded more like a professional hitman at this point.

Okay, it seems that this woman is quite dangerous. I must disclose her relations with other country for some reason. That sniping skills is far too well-versed for a civilian. Moreover, I have to hide the President’s affair and clean it up dry. Who knows what would happened if the press sniffs those story out?
