Alex stood at the entrance of The Light of Edeias, and every detail of this luxurious residential community exuded luxury and refinement. From the marble floor at the entrance to the expensive decorative lighting on the porch, every aspect showcased its extraordinary status to the passing visitors. However, for Alex, all of this seemed particularly distant. There was no hint of joy on his face due to this luxury; instead, it was a look of indifference.
He coldly walked towards the security room window, his entire movement smooth and decisive, as if he was accustomed to this procedure. Alex wordlessly placed his hand on the window, a simple and direct gesture, yet enough to make anyone understand his intention - he was there to retrieve his own gun. The guards' response was equally indifferent. Their handling was mechanical and efficient, with no unnecessary words or actions, just placing a gun in front of the window.
Alex quickly grabbed the pistol, his movements seemed somewhat urgent, as if he had a pressing need to regain the weapon. He carefully inspected the pistol, confirmed its condition was correct, and then relaxed slightly. This scene, although it took place in a glamorous luxury community, revealed an unusual tension and loneliness. For Alex, this was not just a simple process of getting a gun, but also a reality he, as a mercenary, had to face in this magnificent world - no matter where he was, he could never completely let go of that sense of vigilance and readiness.
Alex slowly walked towards the motorcycle parked on the side of the road. The high-tech motorcycle, equipped with a super-heavy sub-engine and advanced suspension system, stood quietly as if a dormant beast, waiting for its master's call. Alex gently started the motorcycle, and as the engine hummed softly, the harmony of mechanics and electronics wove a melody of future technology. He slowly mounted the motorcycle, his movements revealing a hint of familiarity and trust in the machine. After putting on his helmet, Alex's gaze became more determined.
He reached into his pocket and felt the USB device from Morgan, the small object feeling heavy in his hand. Turning back with anger in his eyes, he gazed sharply at the high-rise room with exaggerated floor-to-ceiling windows at the entrance of The Light of Edeias luxury community. In his heart, there was a strong intuition that the bastard Morgan must still be there, coldly observing everything through those windows.
At that moment, Alex's heart was filled with complex emotions. He had an unwavering determination and courage for the upcoming mission, but towards someone like Morgan, he was also filled with anger and distrust. Nevertheless, he was acutely aware that in this complex game, he had to remain calm and rational in order to find the key to success.
Alex slowly pushed the throttle, and as the motorcycle accelerated, the cool wind brushed against him, bringing a momentary sense of relief. He weaved through the busy traffic, with fast-paced street scenes on one side and restless thoughts in his mind. He recalled the final conversation at the upscale residence of Morgan, the dialogue still vividly etched in his mind.
In response to Alex's questioning, Morgan appeared noncommittal, his smile carrying a hint of cynicism. Morgan replied with a smile, "What will I do after I secure the position of Grand Master in the True Worm Sect? Nothing in particular. As one climbs higher, naturally, when I'm at the top, I will certainly spread the teachings of the True Worm Sect and the truth about this world even further. And the method? You will see it soon after it's done." Morgan's words not only revealed his ambition but also conveyed his desire for power and confidence in planning for the future.
Morgan's seemingly ambiguous and mocking smile always lingered in Alex's mind, becoming a shadow he couldn't shake. This made him feel incredibly angry, but at the same time deepened his unease and worry about Morgan's plan. In the breeze, Alex's mood was complex and inscrutable. On one hand, he felt dissatisfied and wary of Morgan's seemingly harmless yet hidden agenda. On the other hand, he also realized that he had been drawn into a game far more complex and dangerous than he had anticipated.
Even though Alex felt angry and uneasy about this mission and Morgan's plan, whenever he thought about the mysterious recommender and the truth related to Akula Star, his inner turmoil became hard to calm. Over the years, Alex had tried to numb himself with alcohol, trying to convince himself that his past and those truths might not matter at all. However, this sudden opportunity, this unexpected temptation, reignited the smoldering embers of his already cooled heart with a fierce anger.
Whenever the night falls, Alex's mind involuntarily replays the memories from Akula Star, the secrets that were never revealed, and the pain that was never healed. He has tried many times to bury these memories, to convince himself that moving forward is the only way. But now, as this mission reconnects him with that past and Morgan reveals information that seems to point to a key, Alex finds himself unable to escape. The suppressed emotions and the desire for truth, like a raging flood, tear down all his defenses.
Even though he knows the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, Alex realizes that this may be his only chance to uncover the past and understand the truth. His pursuit of truth and his unwillingness to accept the past make it impossible for him to simply give up. Despite the inner conflicts and struggles, Alex knows he must continue down this path until he finds the answers to all the questions.
On the accelerating motorcycle in the night, Alex's thoughts scattered like elusive shadows, difficult to capture. He knew deeply that the upcoming mission was filled with unknowns and dangers, possibly even endangering the lives of his teammates. Such risks were a heavy burden for any leader, and entailed difficult choices. However, for Alex, this could not be a reason to stop in his tracks.
Deep within him, a conviction stronger than ever was burning. This determination stemmed not only from his thirst for the truth, but also from his trust and responsibility towards himself and his teammates. Alex knew that he couldn't give up the opportunity to pursue the truth out of fear of the risks. This was not only a challenge to himself, but also a testament to the team's capabilities. He believed that through thorough preparation and planning, and through seamless collaboration and trust within the team, they could face any challenge and overcome any difficulty.
On this quest for truth, Alex is willing to take on all the risks and responsibilities. He understands that as the team leader, his choices will directly impact the safety and future of every team member. Therefore, he is even more determined to face the challenges and share the risks with the team. For Alex, this mission is not only a journey to find answers, but also a test of the team's cohesion and combat capabilities, a chance to prove that they can not only face external enemies together, but also confront their inner fears and doubts as a team.
