Chapter 16: SOMETHING WENT WRONG
"Tskckck… Judging from the expression of the most dangerous Mafia Master in all of Italy who is gloomy and wants to pounce on people, I think I know My twin refused the offer," said Biserka mocking Benvolio with great pleasure and satisfaction.
"Shut up! She hasn't turned down my offer, and she just hasn't accepted it yet." Benvolio dodged Biserka's taunts and looked for another alibi.
Biserka chuckled at Benvolio's answer. "What offer did you offer Mataya that she had to think about it first?" Biserka then took the water that was on the table and began to drink it.
"A fighter aircraft project," said Benvolio, expressionlessly.
Uhukk...uhuk...uhukk... (cough)
"Fighter planes?! Have you gone mad? Is it for your country?" Biserka choked in shock at Benvolio's words.
Benvolio ignored Biserka's question again and went to Biserka's apartment balcony.
"Not for the Italian State, but the personal interests of the Constanzo family." Pavlo replaces Benvolio answering Biserka's question.
Uhukk...uhuk...uhukk... (cough)
"What did you say? For the Constanzo family's interests?!" Biserka choked back a second time in surprise at Pavlo's answer.
She couldn't understand what the two of them were thinking to dare to make such an unnatural deal with Mataya, her sister.
"Hey, do you think Mataya will accept such a suspicious offer? She could be suspicious of both of you. Change the offer, before you two make the situation even more out of control and not expected by all of us." Biserka asks Benvolio and Pavlo to change the offer they both made to Mataya.
"No. I won't change my offer," said Benvolio from the balcony, rejecting Biserka's opinion.
"You stubborn, bastard! Alright, do what you want! But if the plan to take Verasha, my partner, fails. You must be held accountable."
Biserka was annoyed with Benvolio, who was stubborn and acted arbitrarily without considering the slightest advice from him.
She chose to go back to her laptop and equipment, continuing to look for more information about the monster's lair.

"The Constanzo family wants to make fighter planes for personal use? Isn't that against the law? Isn't there a law against the Constanzo family that they dare to make fighter planes for personal gain?" said Ahmed surprised when he finished reading the document Mataya gave him.
Mataya looked at Ahmed with annoyance sight. "And you can still praise me before?!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Taya. I won't praise you anymore," replied Ahmed, making Mataya bend her face even more in annoyance.
"Okay, okay, I mean, I won't compliment you without knowing what you're going through right now," he continued.
"He can destroy the world, Ahmed. Even more than that. He can trigger another world war in the future. His power is hazardous for the world."
"Should I accept his offer and become one of the masterminds behind the destruction of the world in the future? Or should I refuse it and silently watch the destruction of the world he does?" Mataya asked Ahmed.
She was very doubtful and confused in making this decision. She had no direction or clue as to which path she should take. Everything is grey, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
"Yes, this is a difficult choice for you. Rejecting it is like starting a war with the Constanzo family. But you are the one who understands best what is right in law, Mataya."
"You are a prosecutor who upholds justice and is never afraid of any threat of power that harms society and the world. It would be best if you believed in your decision to decide this offer. I will support whatever your decision is. I will accompany you to the end. You will not be alone in facing this all," continued Ahmed, calming Mataya and trying to give him advice while trusting Mataya about whatever decision she made.
"But don't you suspect why it was your airline that they chose and offered this very unreasonable project? I mean, the competitors are more experienced in making fighter planes and are also in Europe, where the Constanzo family is." Ahmed gave his opinion again, which was suspicious of the cooperation project to make these fighter aeroplanes, plus the shares offered were fantastic value.
"Yes, I was suspicious like you. At the beginning of the explanation about this project, Benvolio's assistant said that I would profit from half of the shares. I thought it was just helping the Constanzo family build their airline, but I found out the project was to build fighter planes. And it is for personal gain. Well, since that, I'm starting to suspect them," answered Mataya, confirming Ahmed's words and agreeing with him that there is something odd about this project.
Mataya continued, "He wants to build a fighter plane for personal use and give me half a share of the project, isn't that suspicious? I mean, where did the project funds come from, and what are the warplanes for?"
"Actually, what do they want from you?" Ahmed was confused by this situation.
"Could it be that they want to gain access to the main base by offering this unreasonable project and attracting my attention with all of this? But if that's true ... what do they want in my main base?"
***
Tring …
The notification on the Benvolio smartphone goes on. He gets a message. Benvolio immediately opened the news on his smartphone and read the contents of the message.
[]
Ben, I'm already at the Pudong-Shanghai airport. Come here and pick me up!!!
-Callista-
Benvolio rolled his eyes lazily, seeing the contents of the message. If only he had known that it would be Callista, his adoptive sister, he would not have opened the message quickly and would have read it later.
Unfortunately, he was in a hurry to open the notification from his smartphone because he was worried that there would be information about the lair of the monster he was hunting.
Because he still cares about his adoptive sister and has to obey Xavier's orders, his adoptive father, who told him to look after Callista while in Shanghai, decided to pick up Callista at the airport and took the time to reply to messages before picking her up.
[]
Yes, I'll be there in a minute. Don't hang around! If you are lost, I have no intention of looking for you!
-Benvolio-
*send*
"Pavlo, I will pick up Callista at the airport. Would you mind calling back Vla or Mataya regarding yesterday's offer and making a meeting with them again? I will take care of the rest after picking up Callista." Benvolio immediately put on his jacket and took his car keys lying on the table in Biserka's living room.
"Yeah, fine, Ben. I'll take care of that as soon as possible, don't worry." Pavlo nodded assent to Benvolio's request.
Benvolio rushed out of Biserka's apartment to pick up Callista at Pudong airport.
Not long after Benvolio came out and left Biserka's apartment, Biserka came out from the office in her apartment.
"Hey Pav, how's the offer going?" Biserka asked Pavlo and immediately sat down next to Pavlo while eating her favourite snack.

Chapter 17: I'M STRAIGHT!
"Hey Pav, how's the offer going?" Biserka asked Pavlo and immediately sat down next to Pavlo while eating her favourite snack.
"There has been no response from your twin's company regarding the offer. Is she so suspicious of this offer that she hasn't decided to accept it yet?" replied Pavlo.
He was also confused as to why Mataya had not yet answered his offer, which had passed 24 hours.
Biserka chuckled at Pavlo's words, "Yes, of course, she is suspicious with your offer, Mr Pavlo. Your offer is so unreasonable and makes people have to think for days to decide whether to cooperate with you." Biserka then handed and offered the snack she was eating to Pavlo.
Pavlo took a few pieces of the snack and ate it, "I still don't understand what you're saying, Biserka. From what point of view, our offer is unreasonable and makes people think for a long time to decide." Pavlo said, asking the reason why the offer he made to Mataya was not reasonable.
"Huh. Well, make it simple, Pavlo. You know that fighter planes are usually made for the benefit of a country and not for the benefit of a person or a non-governmental organization." Biserka began to explain the reasons why Pavlo's offer was unreasonable.
She continued, "I don't know what conglomerates like all of you think about. However, can't this project damage the stability of the country and also violate the law? You know, my sister is also a prosecutor in Indonesia. Try it. Think about it from a prosecutor's perspective. Do you think she would think this offer was right?" Biserka got up from her seat to get a glass of mineral water in the kitchen not far from the living room.
Pavlo began to understand why his offer was considered unreasonable.
"But Bis, the Italian state allows big businessmen and companies that have an international scale to make private fighter planes and for their interests. As long as it's not for war or sparking a country's dispute, we will not violate the law," said Pavlo, explaining the policy in the country. The country of Italy, the country where the Constanzo family is located.
"Then why would the Constanzo family want to build a fighter plane if not for political purposes?" Biserka asked again, confirming the purpose of the offer.
"Listen, you know Biserka, the Costanzo family is also a family with a mafia background. Apart from a conglomerate family in Italy, the Constanzo family is also a family involved in the mafia world. To avoid attacks from other big businessmen, the family Constanzo must have adequate equipment and supplies," Pavlo replied, explaining why he made that offer to Mataya company.
Biserka turned to Pavlo while sipping a glass of water. "Yeah, I got it. So the offer regarding this fighter plane is for free access to the CNY Company's main base, and also the Constanzo family's defence. I have to admit, you guys are smart and never want to lose." Biserka poured water into another glass to give to Pavlo and then walked over to Pavlo again.
"No businessman or entrepreneur wants to lose. Moreover, the ten principles of economics are also mentioned, such as people facing trade-offs and rational people thinking about limits," Pavlo said to Biserka while taking the glass that Biserka was holding and bring it for him.
"Yes, yes, yes, well, although I don't understand what the ten economic principles you mentioned are. But at least, I understand that there are no businessmen and entrepreneurs who want their business to lose money," said Biserka, who later opened her smartphone and browsed the latest information on the CIA's website.
The atmosphere was quiet again until Pavlo asked Biserka some questions anew.
"Bis, I'm a little surprised at you. Why don't you go back to your sister and take your comrade back peacefully? I mean, your sister must also be very worried about your safety right now and think that your comrade lying dying is you," Pavlo asked and turned to Biserka.
"I can't. Do you think I can take my comrade peacefully after the bombing incident that happened a while ago? And she won't allow me to complete this mission if I return to him."
"In the first place, she never gave me permission to carry out this 'monster lair' mission. I will return to Mataya when I have done with this mission and also when I can ready to tell him the truth about my comrade." Biserka turned her attention away from her smartphone and fell silent.
"What do you mean by telling the truth about your partner? Is she your girlfriend, and you don't want your sister to know that you are lesbian or bisexual?" Pavlo asked with a slightly awkward expression asking Biserka this weird question.
Biserka widened her eyes, surprised to hear Pavlo's assumptions about him and her partner. "Hey, Pav! Do I look like that to you? Same-sex lover? Oh my God! How can you sum up my short remarks like that?! Gratefully, I'm still straight! I can't understand you, Pav."
Biserka exhaled heavily and lazily with assuming Pavlo's random and obscure assumptions.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Bis. Then what's the reason?" Pavlo again asked Biserka, forcing her to say the reason.
"Hey, since when did you want to meddle in someone's business like this, Pav?" Biserka said, starting to get uncomfortable with the question Pavlo asked her.
"Since we became partners. I need to know more about my partner's background, right? As a guarantee, if in the middle of the road, our agreement doesn't go as smoothly as it should," Pavlo replied casually and smiled at Biserka.
***
The main base of the CNY Company. Shanghai, China.
Mataya Canta's private room.
Tokk...tokk...tokk... (The sound of a knock on the door).
Someone knocked on the door of Mataya Canta's private room.
"Yes, please come in," said Mataya and returned to busy reading the files lying on the table in her room.
The person then immediately opened the door to Mataya's private room and entered it after getting permission. A woman of European origin emerged from behind the door who had blue eyes as clear as the ocean.
The woman is Vla. Mataya's cousin and accomplice.
Vla approached Mataya, who was sitting, busy with the files in front of her.
"Mataya, I've investigated more about the Constanzo family. I've also investigated more deeply about Benvolio, the current president of the BCIF company and also Pavlo, his trusted assistant," Vla told Mataya.
Mataya stopped reading the files in front of her and turned in the direction of Vla's voice. "Then what did you get, Vla? Did you find anything odd about them?"
Vla shook her head slowly. "No. I didn't find anything unusual about the Constanzo family or the two of them. Are you sure, Taya, that they offered this project to gain access to our main base?"
Vla gave Mataya a document containing the background and all the information regarding Constanzo's family and Benvolio also Pavlo.
Mataya narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brows. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Their goal is access to this main base."
Vla is confused by Mataya's assumption. "However, what makes you so sure and suspect that they have that purpose, Taya? And what is the reason they want so much access to our main base?"
"It is because ...."
