“Don’t take me for a fool who knows nothing about computers! You’re a top hacker in the world! You can compensate for such limitations with your skill!
“If you can only locate 5 million people with a computer, use ten or a hundred together! I’ll deliver them to your doorstep if you don’t have enough computers! I’ll give you 30 more minutes, and that’s it. If I still don’t have that list then, Camille I won’t be so nice anymore. I’ll start from you!”
Sweat covered Camille’s forehead. “I know, Uncle Yosef. Just give me some more time! I’ll do my best!”
She called Warren immediately after Yosef hung up.
“I can’t stall much longer. Uncle Yosef wouldn’t tolerate the waiting. He gave me another 30 minutes. If I still can’t give him the names then, I… I’ll be…”
“I see. Don’t worry! Just hold on!”
Despite what Warren said over the phone, he was as anxious as Camille. He was also running out of options. It seemed…
He had to get extra help from abroad. He wondered if the news had gotten out of the country yet. If the people abroad got wind… The situation might deteriorate further.
He could only hope that the radical members abroad hadn’t gotten the news.
Meanwhile, he contacted the conservative members abroad and asked for their help to stall Yosef and James.
He couldn’t count on ordinary people to stop the Soans.
He had to report it to the authorities.
Warren knew that the government had formed two institutions. Sky Eye was the more visible one, and the one less known was called “Dragon,” which also went by the names of “Dragon Tribe” or “Dragon Division.”
The members were all top warriors trained by the country. Right now, Sky Eye and Dragon were Warren’s only hope.
Sky Eye probably wouldn’t be of much help. It was supposed to balance out the power of the three Himmelian divisions, the Himmelians, the Himmelian Pavilion, and the Himmelian Village.
But the idea was a joke. Sky Eye couldn’t post any threat to any of the three divisions.
The Dragon Tribe had stayed well-hidden, and Warren only discovered its existence by chance. He had never found where this tribe was located. He wondered if these secret elite warriors had the ability to stop the Soan empire.
“Hello, this is Warren Soan. Sir, I’m about to tell you something, and you must listen carefully. This isn’t a joke.”
“What?!” On the other end was a man in uniform. He jolted and almost dropped his phone.
His lapel was decorated with medals, and he didn’t look so surprised even when the enemy was pointing a gun at his head.
“Alright! I see! I’ll report to my superior now! The Dragon Tribe will do our best! Thank you, Chief Soan!”
The general sent a report immediately after the phone call.
“What on earth has happened? Have Yosef and James Soan lost their mind? Should I call Sky Eye first and tell them to handle it? The Dragon Tribe has been operating in secret so far. Isn’t it a little early to reveal our identities?”
The general hesitated and called Henry Lang. He fell off his chair when he heard what Henry told him. “The Himmelians are on the move, too?! What’s going on with the Soans?!
“What?! Their Patriarch is still alive, and a bunch of keyboard warriors has insulted him? How’s that possible? Those people must have a death wish! I see! I’ll contact the chief of the Dragon Tribe immediately!”
Now wasn’t the time to be conservative!
…
“Yes, it’s me! Mr. Soan, I didn’t expect you to call me. How are you doing there in the east? Come visit us in the north someday! I’d love to have a drink with you!”
“Rhona, we’re in trouble!” said Warren.
“What’s the matter? Mr. Soan, you sound so anxious. What’s bothering you? Slow down. Has someone offended you? Tell me who they are. I’ll take care of it!”
She rose to her feet with tears in her eyes thirty seconds later. “What did you say? You’ve found the Patriarch! What? In Moon? James wants to kill everyone, you said? Damn it! How dare they?! They’ve crossed the line! I see. Hang on. I’ll be there in an hour!”
…
“Hello? What? You’ve found the Patriarch? Over 60 million people have insulted him? They’re dead!”
“How dare they disrespect their guardian?! They’re as good as dead! They clearly have no respect for their God, so I’ll kill all the scumbags on behalf of the Patriarch!”
…
“This is the south branch of the Himmelians. How can I help you? What? You’ve found the Patriarch? That’s great! I’ll tell my chief right away! What? The three divisions are on the move to kill a lot of people! Are they crazy? Damn it! Do they have instructions from the Patriarch? This is a mutiny!”
…
“This is the first outpost, East Sea Tribe of Moon. I’m No. 0275. Everything’s normal on the sea! Wait… Something’s moving! Sir, incoming ship at twelve o’clock! It’s approaching fast!”
“Please be aware. We spot one, no two… No, three ships! Captain, 117 fast ships are spotted at one o’clock!”
“This is Outpost 8. We found seven large ships approaching us at full speed!”
“Captain, we found over a thousand ships on the radar, and over 50 of them are big ones! We estimate that they’re carrying at least 3,000 people!”
The sea tribes of Moon stationed at the coastline started warning the approaching ships. East Sea wasn’t alone. The same thing was happening on the southern coastline as well.
Numerous ships of various sizes were rapidly approaching the shore, and before long, the radar had also found over a dozen submarines.
It was something that hadn’t happened for nearly a century!
