ARCANUM

CHAPTER 38

PETER POV

Finally, in the third village closest to the Uzbekistan border, Oraz Tagan was seen. After prying it for a few hours on the first day, reconnaissance in this third village, I saw him get off the jeep. He seemed to have just returned from somewhere.

The sun was starting to get low, and we had to go back because we didn't want to spend the night in this arid place. But even so, I'm quite satisfied with this discovery. Closer and closer.

Upon returning to Guess House, I immediately cleaned up, taking turns with Ruby. No. We didn't have intimate time while we were here. We both realized that this was our closest achievement and wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible. Want to find and bring Punpun back. She understands the importance of Punpun to me. She is also very understanding, and I am very grateful for that.

"I've done. Take a shower," I told her as soon as I walked out the bathroom door with the only towel I wrapped around my waist. We're used to this. She also sometimes comes out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her body when she forgets to bring a change of clothes.

"Hmm..." She answered me with a hum and went straight to the bathroom after glancing at me. Yes. Just like that. We don't do anything more.

While waiting for her to finish showering, I read her open notes on the coffee table and the mission map she made. She always records neatly all the information. She also added notes about her thoughts and possibilities. Ruby is very organized and systematic. That's why she's great.

I looked at the map she drew on her paper and notebook and thought of something. 'Hmm... good idea,' I thought before picking up my cell phone and calling someone.

The second day of reconnaissance at Oraz Tagan's hideout.

Last night, the two of us agreed to do some follow-up reconnaissance while gathering information about Oraz Tagan's daily activities before looking for ways to get close to him.

During the day, when it was my turn to scout, I saw him get into the same jeep as yesterday and drive away.

"He's moving," I told Ruby as I got up from where I was lying on my stomach. Hearing this, Ruby, who was resting, immediately tidied up her notes and got into the car. After getting behind the wheel, I immediately started the car and drove from there to the place we had decided on yesterday.

Arriving at the designated location, I immediately got out of the car, and opened the rear trunk to take a gun with a long barrel, then walked to the second point and prepared to wait for the jeep that Oraz Tagan was riding in. I hid behind a fairly large rock and lay down with my stomach and gun under me. I prepared by pointing my gun at the sand road, which was about 200 meters from where I was lying. Luckily, this place is rocky and hilly, which makes it easy for us to hide.

"Target is approaching," Ruby's voice rang through my earpiece. She stayed at the first location where I parked our car. Behind a large rock with bushes around it that covered it perfectly. Ruby peered down the street from the top of the rock, in the same position I am now. Lying on her stomach with the binoculars pointed at the only street to get in and out of Oraz Tagan's hideout.
