"The damage is only minimal, but for me, I say that the ruined is now obsolete", Richard said, while he was on his knees in frustration.

Randall was just staring at him with pity. Everything was being destroyed by the intruder, who he knew she worked with Rushford.

There’s a minute of silence. Eventually, Richard looked up to him and asked:

"Can I still count on you Arkline, after all this is happened to us?"

"Sir, I must admit. I have just fought with the intruder. He’s not a man, but she’s a woman. I have undressed her as evidence that my eyes haven’t deceived me. She is dark-haired, with fierce eyes, and worn with red lipstick. She dresses in a black, Japanese-type blouse and in black, leather tights. At first, I didn’t know her name, but this should give you exactly what you want to know about her", Randall narrated, as he gave him Diane's wallet.

"Hmm, Diane Montgomery. She’s a Rushford spy. A terrorist in our plans! Arkline, I want you to bring her to me, dead or alive!” he ordered.

"Yes Sir."

"Wait. Before you go on to your mission, gather all our remaining men in this building. We cannot just let Rushford laugh at what it has done to us. We should avenge Halford, and by that, I should introduce to you a very, very special gift that all the Rushford citizens must get. Call our men and follow me."

"Yes Sir!"

After several minutes, with all the remaining men gathered, Richard introduced them to a tightly-sealed room.

"Gentlemen, this is not yet our defeat from the hands of an intruder named Diane Montgomery, who also represents Rushford City. This is the damage that she has been done, but we are not giving up this instant until she kisses our feet, and begs for everyone's freedom."

"Today, we are gathered around here for one thing: to destroy everyone who will interfere with our plans, and I will make sure from now on that we will not be stabbed in our backs again, not anymore", he continued.

"I have been cultivating this ultimate, biohazard weapon for almost three years. Since we have lost The Beast, we always have a plan B, and I tell you that there will be no other options again. This is my invention that will infect the minds of all citizens, wiping out their knowledge about our skeletons in the closet, once and for all."

"Gentlemen, without further ado, it is my honor to introduce to you, the ultimate biohazard weapon of Halford Inc., the H-virus!"

Randall did know one thing about Richard was that; he was a man of bravery. He wouldn’t give up once he had tripped himself down. According to his manifestation, the newly-cultivated H-virus would turn the whole Rushford City into chaos, and Halford would continue to stand as a stronghold of power.

"This H-virus will be dumped as a contaminant at the belly of the Rushford Lake, wherein hundreds of fishermen fish there every day of their lives. The fishes there will ingest the virus, and inevitably die as a result of suffocation. The plan will obviously work well for the fishermen to acquire their living with less effort. Sooner or later, the humans will feed on each other, rather than they usually feed on, hahaha!” he laughed with all his might.

"The plan will be executed in the next 48 hours from now, so this place will lock down tomorrow. I know it will be a huge risk of our lives, but we are too close now to rein the whole city, with only a snap. Everything should be taken care of, the weaponry, the armory and of course, survival instincts. Gentlemen, I tell you, we will be indestructible! Hahaha! Get ready to proceed to your stations", he commanded.

"Do not worry Sir. Everything will be finished soon", Randall whispered.
