Sorrow Comes from the Pier

"Hello, Sakazuki. It's me, Balqis. Can I ask for your help? Could you bring a small group of your troops to assist Navies at the docks? If you go there, at least some of my worries will be eased."

"Alright, am I allowed to bring firearms?" asked Sakazuki.

"I authorize you," said Balqis. "What about Lord Navies?" Sakazuki asked again.

"I will take full responsibility," Balqis said firmly before hanging up the phone.

At the docks, Navies was planning the next steps with Albert and his team. They realized they needed to act quickly to save Sera.

"What equipment did you bring?" Navies asked.

"Hardened steel, binoculars, improvised firearms, and explosives," Albert revealed.

"Impressive," Navies said, shaking his head. "So here's the plan," he continued explaining.

"Alright everyone, we need to split up. We need to get into this main building without being detected," Navies said, his voice calm yet determined.

"Alright, Navies. But we need to be cautious. They're clearly very organized and armed," replied Albert.

On the second floor of the main building, Sera sat tied to a chair. Her face showed a mixture of fear and bravery. She heard footsteps outside the door and hoped it was Navies and his team coming to rescue her.

Meanwhile, Balqis and her team headed to the mansion to check on Lily's condition. They moved quickly through the dark night, ensuring Lily's safety, who was still in danger. Balqis's mind was focused on this mission, leaving the docks entirely in Navies's hands, hoping for help from Sakazuki to arrive soon.

Navies and Albert approached the main building. He looked at Albert and signaled him to move forward. They approached the back door of the building, trying to find a way to enter without triggering the alarm.

"This dock is heavily guarded. We have to be very careful," whispered Navies.

They managed to open the back door and entered the building.

"We need to find Sera and get out of here," Navies said firmly.

Albert led his team to check the upper floor while Navies scouted around. On the upper floor, Albert and his team were cornered by a larger group of kidnappers. They had to fight hand-to-hand, but eventually resorted to using firearms to shoot one of Albert's men in the leg, causing him to stop attacking and surrender to being tied up. Albert and five of his team members died in the fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Navies was still busy downstairs, held back by several men with a modern fighting style that combined martial arts from various parts of the world. With his skills, Navies easily subdued them. He went up to the second floor and saw one of Albert's men with a bleeding leg, while Albert and five others were tightly bound. Mada appeared with a vengeful smile. Sera looked weak and helpless, staring at Navies with sad eyes. Her eyes seemed to say, "I'm sorry, Navies. I caused all this and put you in danger."

"Navies, you finally came. I didn't expect my guess to be right; you came here to face danger for this girl," Mada said with a sinister laugh. Mada approached the weakened Sera, then violently pulled her hair. Sera groaned in pain, but her voice was faint because her body was weak.

"Mada, what are you doing?" Navies asked angrily.

Mada just smiled. He threw a pair of handcuffs near Navies. "Put them on," Mada ordered.

Navies remained silent. Suddenly, Mada ripped off Sera's school uniform, causing the buttons to fly off. "If you don't handcuff yourself, I'll violate her and then kill her. No one will know if you die here. Maybe you don't know, but everyone who was brought here or came here was killed and disappeared without a trace. We destroy their bodies, no court or police will investigate the missing persons. We control all sectors, including the police, prosecution, and judiciary," Mada said, laughing again. "I just want to avenge myself. I was humiliated by your father and slapped hard in front of everyone. Even my own father beat me up badly. Hurry, Navies, or I'll strip her completely."

Navies looked at Sera's weary face and the tears streaming down. He couldn't bear to see this anymore. He immediately put on the handcuffs. Mada then ran and repeatedly slapped Navies, hitting and punching him. Navies remained silent, his face, nose, and temple bleeding, his lips split.

"How dare... dare... dare he humiliate me," Mada continued to hit Navies. Albert and the others couldn't bear to watch what Mada was doing to Navies. With a weak voice, Sera said, "Stop it, Mada... stop it, Mada."

Mada didn't care; he kept hitting him. Sera kept shouting, "Stop it, Mada... you're cruel, inhumane."

"Shut up, you bitch!" Navies shouted, turning to look at Sera, who was sitting weak and tightly bound. "Even after this, we'll bring your mother here. I'll make sure she serves everyone here before we kill her."

Hearing that, Navies was furious. He stood up, then jumped and delivered a spinning kick to Mada's head. The kick was so strong that Mada collapsed helplessly. Brigadier General Pol, who had been sitting in the distance, ran and kicked Navies's chest hard with his sturdy police shoes. Navies was thrown quite a distance. Akhtar quickly checked Mada's pulse. He remained silent, stood up, and walked toward Navies, who could hardly move with the handcuffs on his hands. With a blank and angry face, "Bang!" the gunshot echoed loudly...

"Navies!" Sera shouted loudly, then one of the police hit Sera's head hard, making her pass out.

"Albert, you bastard cop!" Albert shouted loudly. "You're not a cop; you're a criminal."

Akhtar ignored him. Navies groaned in pain, his right leg shot. "This is for Mada," Akhtar said with a blank face. "Bang!" the second gunshot was heard again.

Navies groaned in pain again. "Are you crazy? Hey, officer, are you going to let this happen?" Albert shouted at the few policemen who were just standing there and silent. "Bring them here; I'll kill them all with unimaginable pain. This is revenge for my beloved nephew. Lift him and treat his body well. You bring those six men, that woman last, because you'll enjoy her first."

Akhtar looked at Navies. A hard kick with his police shoes hit Navies's face. If Navies were an ordinary person, he would have died or passed out with the blood gushing from earlier. Six people, including Albert, knelt close to Navies. Akhtar started smiling.

"Navies, watch this. Each of your friends' heads will be shot one by one. This is revenge for my men you killed at the mansion that night." The first man looked at Navies with a very frightened face. Navies looked back with a feeling of pity and guilt for involving them in this problem.

"Bang!" the gunshot was heard again, one member of the DBW gang fell with blood flowing from his head. "Mother!" shouted a man next to the one who had just been shot.

"Hey, Akhtar, if you want to kill me, just kill me and our business will be over. Why involve others?" Navies said in a pitiful condition.

"No, Navies. I will have fun. I'll destroy your father's small business. Even anyone who ever met you will be killed. Because we enforce the law and we are above the law, you know?" Akhtar smiled again. "We are untouchable by the law, even if we kill someone."

"Bang!" the gunshot was heard again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" four more gunshots were heard, and all of Albert's men fell. Albert, who had been silent with his head bowed, slowly used a piece of glass he found to free his hands. He quickly strangled Akhtar's neck. They wrestled fiercely, holding back emotions from seeing his friends killed.

Akhtar aimed his pistol at Albert, but Albert managed to hold it and wrestled with Akhtar. The police there couldn't help much because they were wrestling and afraid of shooting the wrong person. Navies was also unable to move, with both legs shot and hands cuffed.

"Bang!" another gunshot was heard, blood flowing heavily from Albert's chest. Albert fell, and Akhtar lay still. He was shot in the chest. Albert lay unable to move again. Some police who had been standing still saw their superior shot and pointed their guns at Albert's head.

"Bang!" Albert died that night.

"We have to kill everyone here and erase their bodies and traces because it will be very dangerous if not. The government could be unstable, and there might be a coup and significant resistance against the current government. This dirty secret must not be contaminated," said one policeman.

Two policemen aimed their guns at Navies's head. "We have to make sure this kid dies. Use two pistols."

Navies didn't move anymore; he just bowed his head but was still alive.

"Bang... bang..." the loud gunshots echoed through the heavy rain.

The rain poured over the whole city. In the mansion, Balqis sat staring at the window where Navies usually sat and always smiled at her. Lily in her room was just sitting sadly and daydreaming. Rendra and Mike at the DBW headquarters were just sitting, watching the heavy rain. There was no party tonight; they just waited for Albert and the five other team members, including the notable new member, Navies.
