Chapter 13
After they finished buying their needs in Self-service, Wendy, Nico, Berly, and Richard immediately returned to their apartment.
" It was still 9 pm but look, this street is very quiet" said Berly to see the condition of the quiet streets.
" You scared? " say, Richard.
" Cih, what am I afraid of" said Berly casually.
" Next time do not go out alone, at least invite one of the male members to accompany you" said Nico coldly.
" You mean?! " ask Wendy and Berly simultaneously.
" You see this road, this hour is already very quiet. What if you two just came out? maybe you've been kidnapped " Richard explained.
" Cih, we're not that weak" Wendy chuckled.
" Important if you female members want to travel, bring male members as well. In order to protect each other "said Nico coldly, then embraced by Wendy and Berly.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally reached the apartment.
" Oh, are there any guests" said Wendy when she reached the apartment and saw a car parked.
" It may be " said Nico coldly.
" Wasn't that Archen and Hitomi, what were they looking for? " said Richard while pointing at Archen and Hitomi.
" Achen! Hitomi! " call Nico. Archen and Hitomi who were summoned directly approached his colleagues who had just finished shopping.
" What are you guys doing? " ask Nico when the two have arrived in front of them.
" We're looking for something" Archen said.
" What? " ask Nico.
" We heard a woman's screams earlier, but on our own we surrounded this apartment, we still did not find the source of the sound" Hitomi explained.
" What about the others? " ask Richard.
" The others heard it too, and we've all split up to find the source of the sound" Archen said.
Hearing that Nico was instantly enraged and looked at Archen sharply. " Clearly! " said Nico angry. While others were immediately confused to hear Nico's words.
" Now tell them all to go back to the room immediately" said Nico coldly and then left his comrades.
" Young..!! what's wrong with you?! " ask Wendy following Nico.
" What's wrong with him? " scarred Archen confused.
" Hurry and look for another, and immediately return to the room" said Richard and taken by Hitomi and Archen.
" Do I need help? " ask Berly.
" No need, you take a short break while you wait for us" Hitomi said, then embraced by Berly.
" Then we go first" said Archen then left with Hitomi. While Richard left with Berly in.

After everyone gathered in the middle room, Nico immediately looked at all of them one by one with an introgating look.
" You all push up 30 times! " say Nico.
" What's wrong, Nic? " ask Lily confused.
" Take your punishment now" Nico said, not answering Lily's question.
" Just do it" Richard told his colleagues. All members instantly do push ups including Wendy, Berly, and Richard.
" 1.. "
" 2.. "
" 3.. "
" 30..... "
" What do you want Nico? " ask Zee after doing push-ups 30 times.
" It's a punishment for you being too careless" said Nico coldly.
" What do you mean? " question Zoya did not understand.
" We just want to find someone who screams Nic, who knows he needs help" Hitomi said.
" Your intentions are not wrong, but it is your wrong way" said Nico coldly.
" What's wrong? " ask Mark to the point.
" In the way you look for the source of the sound together, you are definitely being suspected by people! have you forgotten how to spy? did you forget that you were told to be as neutral as possible so as not to be suspected? or do you not understand what Colonel Cha has been teaching you all along! " said Nico angry.
" How to find information so that it is not known is not like looking for a cat or lost items. But by observing around the scene! " connect Nico.
" Now I ask, what do you get after looking around the apartment?! " ask Nico, all the members just quietly have no answer. "Zonk?! " say Nico.
" Yes, that is what you will get if you look for something in such a careless manner! and not only that, if any enemy sees you like that, your identity is definitely known ".
Nico rebukes all members not because he wants to behave like a leader, but he is very worried about the situation of his colleagues, he has nothing to harm his colleagues.
" Reply to my question, who instructed you to look for the source of this kind of voice? " ask Nico very cold. The other members were silent and did not want to accuse each other.
" Answer." said Nico lirih but full of emphasis.
" I am ready Chairman" said Mark directly pointed at him.
" Mark, what are you doing? it's not your fault" Archen said.
" This is indeed my idea of Archen, so I will take responsibility " said Mark steadily.
" What is the reason you gave these instructions? " ask Nico.
" Well, 'cause we freaked out too much, Chief. We wanted to find the guy as soon as possible, so we split up ", Mark said.
" Are you thinking about the impact? " ask Nico.
" Ready is unthinkable Chairman "
" Mark, down 100 times" said Nico.
" Nico?!! " says all the members were shocked.
" It's a punishment" said Nico coldly.
" Richard, Berly, Zee went to investigate what happened" said Nico and went to his room.
" What the fuck is that?! that's outrageous" Lily protested.
" Once, it's my fault" Mark said.
" Come now we go" Berly told Richard and Zee.
" The others get ready, we will have dinner and after that we will meet with Captain Cha" said Wendy, then everyone disperse in each room except Lily.
" Go Lily" Mark said as he carried out his sentence.
" Let me take half your punishment" Lily said.
" Well, what kind of man do you think I am? " said Mark chuckled.
" Don't laugh Mark" Lily said annoyedly.
" Once, go now" said Mark continuing his sentence. Lily who was upset just left, but different from Mark she was
chuckles at Lily's behavior.

Berly, Richard and Zee were already at a place they felt was the point of sound. " Diloby?! " rummed Zee confused.
" Hm, after these calculations is where the vote came from" said Berly looking around.
" Be as neutral as possible, here there is CCTV " murmured Richard slowly.
" Dissociate" said Berly.
" When he entered one of the hallways, Richard discovered that there were drops of blood. Richard casually followed the direction of the blood and ended up at two doors.
" Fuck, what's going on here" Richard murmured in his heart. As Richard turned his back and intended to meet his comrades again, he was startled by someone who was suddenly behind him.
" Who are you? " ask the man flat.
" I'm sorry, I got the wrong room, the room I wanted to go to on the top floor" Richard said no less flat and cold.
" If there's no business go" said the man.
" Without you asking me to go, too" said Richard flatly and left. The man believed and did not suspect Richard, so Richard could just walk away.
