Revenge: Reborn
Chapter 246 Early Thoughts
Ivona is shocked by the story told by Marcus. The girl did not think that Aldo and Richard had lost their minds, and followed her all the way to the country. But feeling no closeness to the two men, Ivona tries to ignore him.
"Even Na., Richard is looking for a connection to get you out of the main lab." Marcus added information about Richard's treatment.
"Crazy.., you have to stop him Marcus. I haven't found any information about my mother's whereabouts in this place, I don't want those lunatics to destroy my will." on a high note, Ivona asked Marcus to stop Richard and Aldo's actions.
"Don't worry you Na.. Do you think, international integrated laboratories are easily played by people from our country?? The security at that lab, especially where you're stationed, is now very much in the spotlight. Don't worry.., you'll be safe there." Marcus convinced Ivona. Indeed the existence of this laboratory, has the privilege of international stakeholders. Not everyone can get in and out of the lab. The confidentiality of data and the results of the analysis are very closely guarded, because there are concerns that there are people who will take advantage of the project.
"Okay then Marcus.., I can breathe a sigh of relief. Marc.., you come back to Indonesia, don't wait for me! I also don't know when I'll be able to find out where Mom is. The necessity of wearing a mask and face coverings made it a little difficult for me to be able to recognize the people around me. But I'm sure Marc.., it won't take long I'll be able to find mama." Ivona expressed her optimism in finding Mrs Carminda.
Marcus smiled looking at the unyielding spirit the girl showed. Until now there has been no change in Ivona's attitude and character. Always like challenges, never give up, and always have high spirits when faced with difficulties.
"Nana.., you don't have to care about me. I have my own pleasure to accompany you in this country, even though we cannot meet directly. I still have five days off work here, even I can extend it if I want. We can still interact online every night.." Marcus remains adamant he will spend his leave in Hong Kong under the pretext of accompanying the girl.
"Well, I can't say anything else Marcus. Yes, the video call.. I'm going to take a break tonight, it's really tiring and it's very tiring and it's very important that I'm in the main lab." Ivona ends her video call with Marcus.
"Okay.., take care of yourself Ivona. Take care.." Marcus ended his video call.
After turning off the chat forum and the connection to Marcus, Ivona slowly opened her digital traces. The girl cleaned up the chat and the prank messages. He had absolutely no interest in responding to it. Feeling she's been online for too long, Ivona thinks she's taking a break. But just now.., Ivona will shut down the device, suddenly the incoming signal new messages back in disturbing him. But the girl thought, if she were to serve the message now, she thought that her break would be interrupted. Finally confidently and steadily, Ivona shut down her iPad device.
"Aaakh.., it was also aching my body." after saving her iPad back, Ivona stretched her hands up. The girl was streching her waist to the right and to the left.
After washing her hands in the sink, Ivona immediately got on the bed, and set the air conditioner. Not long after, the girl had already fallen asleep in her deep sleep.
*************
Unbeknownst to Aldo.., Richard used a taxi to arrange an appointment with the Hong Kong State Intelligence Agency. They were his grandfather's mainstay people in the past, so when he found out Richard would meet him, because he noticed the grandfather's name, two people from the Intelligence Agency were willing to meet him. But because of the secrecy of their identity, the men were willing to meet Richard in a hidden place.
Four men in plainclothes picked up Richard at the stop of the taxi he was riding in, With the first salute, the four men examined Richard's entire body. Understanding of their duties, Richard easily allowed them.
"Good afternoon Mr.., please allow me to conduct an examination!" one of the officers asked Richard for permission.
"Ready Mr. clear. Let us drive to see Mr. Johnny Head of the Intelligence Agency." After the examination, the four men tightly escorted Richard to enter a room in the cafe in front of him. Without having the slightest doubt, Richard followed their lead without the slightest suspicion.
The four men took Richard into the cafe through a secret entrance, and after walking they entered a private room.
"Please enter Mr. Richard.., Mr. Johny is waiting inside!" one of the four men, allowing Richard to enter the private room, prepared to stand guard outside the room.
Richard's gaze circulated around the room, but the man had yet to see anyone there. Slowly Richard sat down on the chair that already had a table with some drinks and food on it.
"Maybe Mr. Johny is going to the bathroom" thought Richard, his eyes looking back at the outside door.
A moment later.,.,., though..,
"I didn't expect, Mr. Kenneth's granddaughter to be this mature.." Richard was suddenly startled by the voice of the old man behind him. The man instantly turned his head around, and a wide smile appeared on his lips. The shadow of his childhood, how he was nurtured with military style patterns was clearly reflected in his eyes. Richard immediately stood up and greeted Mr. Johny with a hug.
"Sir Johny.., this young man saluted." said Richard firmly.
"Call me uncle., don't call me sir. Let's sit down, and tell me what your problem is!" Mr. Johny took Richard to sit down. The authoritative man treated Richard like he was treating a child. Because Richard's time was small, the man was indeed closer and often invited to go by his grandfather.
They then sat face to face, and after drinking a few sips of the drink already available on the table, Richard recounted the problem. Mr. Johny's forehead was wrinkled, trying to digest what the man had said.
"So according to your analyst, Ivona Carminda was the son of your father whom Carminda purposely hid?" after hearing for a while, Johnny commented on what the young man had said.
"Just an initial thought Uncle.., see the reaction of papa when the girl found a photo of papa and Mrs Carminda in the archive closet in the papa's room. Richard's suspicions grew when, a few days after coming to papa's villa, the girl decided to meet her mother in the integrated laboratory." Richard added his thoughts.
"Richard. If integrated laboratory is a research institution with an international license. Especially in the main laboratory, not just anyone can be assigned to the unit, nor is it easy to get in and out of the unit. I hope you understand what I'm saying." Johny spoke softly, the middle-aged man knew very well how the punishment would be received, if anyone knew anyone was committing a violation of that rule.
