Khalon's return journey took five days because they had to avoid numerous checkpoints. Lately, the police and the army were very strict because of Diego's case. They didn't want another hostage-taking to happen.
The country of Maharlika became a laughingstock because of that incident. Many people are speculating how Diego and his men managed to escape. Some even guessed that there was a mole in the police.
Arlan also believed that this was the case. It was impossible for Diego's group to break out of prison without the help of an insider.
Later that evening, Khalon and the one hundred soldiers secretly entered Forbes Park. With their skills and the lax security, they managed to avoid being detected. Even the residents of the subdivision didn't notice them.
"Boss!" Khalon gave Arlan a salute. The one hundred soldiers sent by Rear Admiral Fuliand also saluted.
