Three days have passed since the success operation in Macau and cyber blows in return that paralyzed the consortium. Luky is in the secret control room of Dragon Guard headquarters, a room filled with monitor screens and sophisticated work stations. He analyzed the financial data that was successfully confiscated from the villa in Macau.
"This data contains the transfer route of funds, Shell accounts, and even payment records for the bribed officials," Luky told Ariawan Commander and the Head of the Forensic Finance Team, Devina. "This is treasure."
"We can freeze more of their assets and catch more people," Devina said. "This will decide on more of their funds."
"Do it," Luky ordered. "Coordination with interpol and taxation authority in every jurisdiction listed."
Suddenly, the interface of the elite premium wealth system appeared in its field of view.
[System Warning: Host has fulfilled the prerequisites for the next level access.]
[Updating the interface ...]
[Introducing new features: Premium Elite Construction.]
Luky raised his eyebrows. "Explain the 'Premium Elite Construction' feature."
[The 'Premium Construction Elite' feature allows the host to use character points to instantly build, upgrade, or obtain certain physical facilities. The conventional construction process is shortened or eliminated. Facility catalogs are available for exploring.]
Luky immediately opened the catalog. His eyes were fixed on one item.
[Facilities: Underground Dragon Guard Headquarters (Level 4)]
[Location: under the head office of the archipelago global group.]
[Specifications: 15 Floors depth, equipped with an independent living support system, military level cyber command center, anti-stinging interrogation room, emergency helipad field, anti-nuclear bunker, complete medical facility, dormitory for 200 personnel.
[Cost: 350 Character Points + 15 Trillion Rupiah.]
[Instant construction time: 0 days.]
[Conventional construction time: 42 months.]
Luky considering. Dragon Guard headquarters which is now sophisticated, but not comparable to this. With the consortium threat that still exists, facilities like this are no longer luxury, but needs.
"System, I want to buy the 'Dragon Guard headquarters underground (Level 4)' using character points and funds."
[Confirm Purchase: Dragon Guard Headquarters Underground (Level 4) for 350 Character Points and 15 Trillion Rupiah?]
[Points of Character remaining: 770.]
[Wealth balances will be adjusted.]
"Confirmation."
There is no roar or vibration. Only a simple notification.
[Construction is complete. Access through an exclusive elevator in the B3 level private car garage. The entire security system and facilities have been integrated with the dragon guard network and the host system.
Luky turned to Ariawan, who was still discussing data from Macau. "Ari, come with me. There is something I have to show."
They walked to Luky's private car garage. Luky shifted an access card, especially on the concrete wall that looked innocent. A wall spinning with silence, opening the way into a large steel elevator.
"Is this, Boss?" Ariawan asked, surprised.
"Our latest insurance," Luky answered while pressing the 'B15' button.
The elevator drops quickly and smoothly. The door opens to a bright lobby, made of strong metal alloys and glass. Some security officers who have been standing there immediately saluted, apparently already knew their arrival and had been assigned there by the system.
"Welcome to the new Dragon Guard Operation Headquarters, Commander," one officer told Ariawan.
Ariawan walked out of the elevator, his eyes glanced around, trying to absorb everything. "This ... this is amazing. When ... how ..."
"Don't ask," Luky said. "Take a full tour. Familiarization of all personnel with this facility in the next 24 hours. I want our operation to be moved here fully before the sun rises tomorrow."
"Ready, Boss!" Ariawan answered, still looking disbelief.
Luky left Ariawan at the new headquarters and returned to his office. Once arrived, other system notifications appeared.
[New Mission: "Data Collection Cell Destruction"]
[Description: The consortium, although injured, still operates small cells in charge of collecting intelligence data about hosts and allies. Identification and neutralizing three main cells operating in Jakarta, Singapore and Sydney.]
[Gift: +100 Character Points, Consortium Intelligence Networks are hit, Increasing Intelligence Analysis Skill.]
[Deadline: 14 days.]
[PINALTI: The consortium will get enough information to launch a very effective attack.
Luky approved the mission. He then opened the 'real-time threat analysis' feature and focused on the three cities.
[System Scan ...]
[Jakarta: Cells operate from a coffee shop in Menteng. They tap communication from optical fibers that pass through the area.]
[Singapore: Cells disguised as a market research company at Raffles Place. They break into the target company database through social engineering.]
[Sydney: Cells operate from a rental apartment in Circular Quay. They monitor certain satellite communication.]
"They are not playing games," Luky murmured.
He held a video conference with the Head of Dragon Guard Operations in Singapore and Sydney, as well as with the Ariawan Commander in Jakarta.
"I have a definite coordinate for consortium cells," Luky said without preliminary. "Jakarta: 'clove' coffee shop, Jalan Menteng Raya, check the utility panel behind. Singapore: 'Market Insights LLC', Level 18, Tower 2, Raffles Place. Sydney: 42B Apartment, 'The Quay Residence', Circular Quay."
"Where is intelligence from, boss?" Asked the Head of Singapore Operations, Rudi.
"Sources that can be trusted," Luky answered. "The shape of the team and moving now. I want all cell members to be secured and all their equipment is confiscated before midnight local time. Use the capture protocol. There is no trace."
"Ready, Boss!" answered the three almost simultaneously.
Operations in the three cities run with absolute precision. The Dragon Guard team, which is now strengthened by new facilities and training, moves like ghosts. In Jakarta, they ambushed the coffee shop after closing hours, catching two people who were trying to move the tapping equipment. In Singapore, the team infiltrated fake companies at night, securing the server and capturing everyone who was inside. In Sydney, the team slipped to the apartment and paralyzed the target before they had time to touch the panic button.
Luky monitored everything from the command center of his new headquarters through video bait directly from the perspective of team members.
"All targets are secured. All evidence is secured," said Ariawan Commander from Jakarta a few hours later.
"Good. Take them to the new interrogation facility," Luky ordered.
The next day, Luky decided to use the 'Skill Development Acceleration' feature again. Intelligence knowledge from confiscated data is very much.
"System, I want to increase 'intelligence analysis' to the advanced level."
[Cost: 60 character points to increase 'intelligence analysis' skills from base to proficient.]
[Confirmation?]
"Confirmation."
Knowledge of the intelligence analysis methodology, pattern recognition, confidential source management, and debriefing flowing into his mind. He can now compile raw intelligence data pieces into a coherent picture that can be followed up.
He immediately descended into the analysis room at the new basement headquarters. Devina and her team are flooded with data from three cells that are raided.
"Boss, this is too much. It took weeks to sort all of this," complained Devina.
"Leave it to me," Luky said. He sat in a terminal, his hands began to dance on the keyboard, sort, filter, and connect data points at an amazing speed.
"Look at this pattern," Luky said, pointing to a screen. "Payment from the same Shell account to the three cells, is carried out every 15th. That means there is one financial coordinator. Track the recipient of the previous payment."
"Immediately, Boss!" answered an analyst.
"And here," Luky continued, "They all received the same warning from the anonymous email server two hours before our raids. That means the consortium still has an early warning system. The source of the email source, now. Ignore the first layer disguise, see deeper headers."
The cyber team worked with Luky's orders. In one hour, they managed to track the financial coordinator to a bank in Switzerland and an early warning email source to a relay server in Iceland connected to the Consortium headquarters.
"We must move quickly. They know their cells have been paralyzed. They will eliminate traces," Luky said.
He contacted Colonel Bernard. "Colonel, I have two coordinates for you. A bank in Zurich, the manager's name is Klaus Richter. And a Farm server outside of Reykjavik. Both are vital points of the consortium. I suggest you take action before they disappear."
"Luky, this information ... Where did you get it? This is very specific and fast."
"Believe me, Colonel. The time is getting narrower."
"Fine. I will continue this to the authorities there. Bernard comes out."
The joint operation between local intelligence and international agencies succeeded in capturing Klaus Richter in Zurich and confiscated a server in Iceland, which contained a lot of valuable data.
Ting!

Luky checks the status of the system.

[+50 Character Points, Relationships with Natasha (+35).]
Luky smiled. He finally found balance. He took the phone and called Natasha.
"Nat, are you free tonight? I want us to have dinner together. Just the two of them."
"Luky? Of course! But I think you are very busy with all these security matters."
"It's more controlled. I'll pick up seven o'clock."
"Okay. I'll wait."
That night, in a small restaurant that Luky had been hired privately, they were finally able to spend time together without interruption.
"I'm worried about you, Luky," Natasha said, holding his hand. "All of these attacks ... this is very dangerous."
"I know, Nat. But believe me, the situation is now much better. We are superior. I have ... strengthened everything."
"You always say that. But what I see, you become more closed, more focused. Almost like ... machine."
Luky took a breath. "That's because our enemies are not playing games. But I promise, after all this is finished, we will take a long vacation. Only the two of us."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Back at the underground headquarters, Commander Ariawan reported.
"The interrogation of prisoners from three cells gives results. They confirm that the consortium leadership is chaotic. They lose funds and intelligence. Some senior members begin to blame each other."
"That is our weakness," Luky said. "We need to push deeper. Use information from detention to compile a list of priority targets. We will hunt them one by one."
With the Elite Premium Wealth System, the new basement headquarters, and the skills that have been increased, Luky is no longer just defending himself. He now leads coordinated and deadly attacks. Every blow directed at the consortium is now harder and more targeted than before. War is still ongoing, but the pendulum has swung definitively. Luky not only participated in this game; He is now rewriting the rules.
