A GLASS DRINK

"Let me get you a drink first," Edgar said. He then moved to the bar table in the corner of the room.

Seeing the opportunity, Ami and Cassie immediately approached Elissa's table. They weren't invited to the inauguration of the new face of the hotel, but since they were staying at the hotel, they could freely enter the free event. Of course, their stay wasn't their own money, but Elissa's.

"You said you wanted to reveal. But you're so stiff," Cassie teased.

"That's right. You're like a mannequin paired with a human, you know. You're so flat-faced like you have no emotions. You're like a living corpse, you know."

Elissa held her cheeks. "Really?" she asked incredulously.

"It's useless to put on makeup, but your face looks like a zombie who can only gawk."

Elissa tapped her forehead. "I can't believe how flat my expression is?"

Ami took out her gadget. She played a video of Elissa's arrival from the moment the woman got off the bicycle with Edgar. Although Elissa looked happy, as soon a

    Fritz continued to look at Edgar. However, what he wanted still needs to materialize. Edgar was still sitting while talking with Elissa's two friends. Nothing had changed. Her drink was also gone. Fritz was only dumbfounded when he realized that the colour of Edgar's drink differed from what he served. Edgar's glass, this time, was brown instead of red.Fritz wandered around. He searched for where Edgar's poison drink should be. Every corner, his eyes explored. But still nothing strange. There was no commotion because someone died, nor was anyone lying around.Fritz kept looking. And suddenly, his chest felt tight. His heart was beating very fast. Cold sweat poured down his body. Fritz thought quickly, trying to figure out what had happened. Then, when he looked at his desk, he was shocked to see the drink Edgar should have drunk on his desk."Why?" he whispered.It was no one's doing. No one wanted to kill Fritz. It was purely his fault for not seeing when he took a drink from a wait

    "Are you awake?" asked Edgar. He sat down beside Elissa. His clothes hadn't changed at all. He still wore a suit, complete with a tie. He sat with his back to her. The doctor had gone home after making sure Elissa was fine. Perfect. In the room, there were now only Edgar and Elissa.Elissa held her head. There was still a slight dizziness there."What happened?" asked Elissa.Edgar swallowed. It wasn't enjoyable to reveal what happened.A phone call interrupted the silence between them. Elissa was about to sit down. She knew it was the ringtone from her phone. Unfortunately, her body still felt weak."Can you please get my cellphone?" asked Elissa.Edgar, who had been daydreaming, instantly nodded. He tried to smile. Edgar grabbed Elissa's cell phone on the table and handed it to his wife."Yes, Dad?" asked Elissa."What exactly did you do to do such an embarrassing thing, huh?" asked Desmond."Embarrassing? What does that mean?"Desmond sent a link, "See what I sent," he continued.E

    "Do you know where Edgar is?" asked Elissa hurriedly."I saw him walk out of the hotel earlier."Elissa left immediately. She grabbed her sling bag and ran outside. Elissa pressed two elevators at once. But both of them had just passed the floor where she was standing. Not wanting to wait long, she finally rushed down the emergency stairs. She didn't care about the height of the bed. She had to go down. Her only thought was one: she wanted to see her husband immediately.She shouldn't have said that. She should not have accused Edgar of anything. She knew herself that her husband was a good man. As far as she had researched in the past, Edgar had never once wanted to touch a woman's skin, let alone hurt it. So she should have known that Edgar could not have done such a stupid thing. There was no way Edgar would again poison Elissa with such an unholy drug in public.Elissa's breath caught. She was downcast while holding the iron staircase divider.

    "Can you please tell me where Edgar is now?" asked Elissa hesitantly. She now approached Araf, who was getting ready to leave.After calming down, Cassie and Ami suggested that Lissa, where Edgar worked. Although many people recognized Elissa because of the incident, Elissa had no choice. Right now, in her mind, she was only worried about her husband. Unfortunately, the man was blunt when she met Edgar's best friend, Araf.Araf crossed his arms. He looked sarcastically at Elissa. "Why are you looking for him? Do you want to trample on his pride again?" Araf shouted.Elissa was silent. She couldn't argue with what Araf said. But she couldn't go on like this either. "I admit that I have gone too far.""Oh, you just realized it now? Too late," Araf scolded. He then turned around and returned to organizing his belongings."Please ...."Araf hissed. "I won't let you see him again. It's enough for him to suffer," she said."Raf, please don't be childish like this.""Childish? Which one of

    Edgar glanced around. He had secretly dialled the Lebanese police's 999 emergency number before going out. He didn't say much, but if they heard a scream or the sound of a gun, they would know that Edgar was in trouble. He had also pressed the mute button, ensuring that all the criminals here had no idea Edgar had called the police. All that was left was to buy time for the police to arrive.Edgar looked at his enemy. The tips of his eyes began calculating the distance between himself and the enemies. He needed a shield from the gunfire. There were three enemies here. Each was holding a revolver. If Edgar's guess was correct, eight bullets were in their guns. Eight bullets times three firearms meant 24 shots ready to fly and penetLissae Edgar's body.Edgar swallowed. His enemies had yet to attack. That meant they wanted to capture Edgar alive.

    Elissa returned after looking at all the corpses. She didn't speak a single word. Her gaze was blank. Her steps were unsteady. It was like she didn't have the energy even to continue her footsteps."Lissa?" called Cassie softly.Elissa kept walking past her friends. She didn't look back at Cassie. Her gaze continued to stare ahead."Lissa?" Ami also called out.But still, Elissa didn't turn around. She continued to walk towards the car that she had been driving. It's just that her steps this time looked weaker. And suddenly, Elissa collapsed."Elissa!" Ami and Cassie shouted simultaneously. They immediately ran over to their unconscious friend.Araf, who saw that, was confused. He immediately broke through the barricade, trying to see the bodies starting to be covered again. His heart became very restless. Araf reminded Edgar. Araf will always remember how Edgar gave him a chance to become a better person."Edgar!" Araf shouted when the police detained him.

    "So why did you faint?" asked Cassie as she handed Elissa a biscuit.Elissa swallowed. "I saw the messages on the corpses, Cas. One of the corpses had an equals sign written on it. I remember that Fritz used to make the same mark on his victims. A man approached me, and Fritz scratched an equal sign on his arm. The wound meant the person he targeted would have the same fate." She put down the biscuits that Cassie had given her. She didn't want to eat anything at all."Eat up; you need energy to find Edgar!" Cassie coaxed.Elissa sighed. She also took back the wheat biscuits."Are there any clues?"Elissa was silent while Cassie shook her head. "The position tracked by Ami has stopped. But when the police traced it, only a cell phone was beside the road. It seems like Fritz is brilliant and knows what he has to research," Cassie explained.Elissa was lost in thought. She picked up her cell phone. She looked at the photo of Edgar that she had taken on a whim. A few nights ago, when Edga

    Although Edgar didn't know what Hunter had promised Fritz, Edgar tried to remain calm. He wasn't going to stay undercover forever. Besides, the police and Desmond's security forces would soon arrive. Edgar only needed to find Elissa.Edgar watched every shape of the building. The building before him was a fairytale palace with towering towers and still black bricks. The structure was dominated by Greek architecture. Or even all of them had Greek flavor. Only one is not—the two date palms planted before the palace gate. According to Edgar, Fritz seemed to want to combine the two concepts of the princess kidnapped by the dragon and the princess from Aladdin's fairy tale."So, where is the gift you promised?" asked Fritz.Edgar was still calm. "You invited me all the way here just to collect a promise. You didn't serve me food first?""Oh right. Let's eat first while talking."Edgar laughed. "It's been a while since we talked together, right?""Yeah. But if you don't bring that gift, you

    "What about Elissa, Bhim?" asked Edgar when Bhima finally visited the hospital.Edgar could now do anything. The doctor also advised him to start taking small steps. Fortunately, the fracture wasn't too severe, so the recovery period was also expected to be short."That's why I came to see you, Young Master. Today we'll be heading to Fritz's private island," Bhima reported."Tell me where it is!" he ordered."Sorry, Young Master. But I'm only here to tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you the details.""Bhima. Where do you think I'm going? My leg still hasn't healed. My chest still hurts because my ribs still haven't healed. I just want to know how you plan to get Elissa back. Who knows, I can add to some of your plans that might be lacking," said Edgar.Bhima began to look hesitant."Anyway, Bhim. I won't be able to calm down if you only tell me the rough outline."Bhima exhaled. "All right. But young master, please calm down. I will only explain once because time is not our frie

    Elissa knocked on Tory's room. She already had a plan to get out of here. What mattered to her now was that Fritz didn't always fixate on her."Miss Queen?" asked Tory in disbelief.She smiled. She hurriedly entered and locked the door. She didn't want the bodyguard Fritz had sent to follow her into Tory's room. No one should know her plan.During the night, Elissa thought about several possibilities. Although there was still a possibility of failure and the success Lissae depended on Tory herself, this was the only way she could think of for now. Elissa did not want to be confined here forever. Even though all her needs and luxurious things were fulfilled on this island, she still wanted to be with Edgar."What does Miss Elissa want? Do you want me to check on you again? Does Mr. Fritz want it?""I want to get straight to the point. Do you really love Fritz?"Tory's face turned red again. She also covered her face with her hands again.

    Edgar kept thinking about something while lost in the forest and walking without direction. Why did all this happen? Edgar continued translating everything that happened until he realized that what Elissa said was true. Araf had planned something.Without a plan, there would be no climb to Rinjani. Without Araf planning it, there was no way Naia would suddenly be kind to Elissa. Naia would have preferred Elissa to be exhausted and unable to reach the summit. With Araf planning it, Mika would bring a particular mountain communication device and contact Fritz directly.Edgar only realized it after he repeatedly fainted from falling into the ravine. He regretted being so trusting of one person.Araf was speechless. No matter how neatly he prepared his plan, it would be revealed someday. Like a buried carcass, one day, it will leave an odor. Edgar is not a fool; he must have realized it quickly."I'm sorry. I had dark eyes. I thought you would never be happy with Elissa. I thought she wou

    Bhima took off his mask. His hands were bruised. He was tired of beating so many people. The members under him were the same. They sat with their legs bent, resting. This day was already the fifth base they visited, but there was no sign of Fritz. Not even one of Fritz's men knew where his boss was."Check if there are any clues. I want to check Fritz's room one more time!" Bhima said.It had been almost a week since he went around looking for where Fritz was. He only found Elissa's picture in all the buildings he came across. And the headquarters in San Francisco was the same. There was nothing that stood out. Fritz's seat even looked like a regular office.Bhima entered Fritz's room once again. He looked around. Everything was a mess. Fritz's desk had also been destroyed. Cabinets, walls, and even the ceiling had been broken. But there was nothing suspicious. Everything inside was always the same. It only contained clothes and trinkets.Bhima lifted the cupboard that he had knocked

    Ira continued Desmond's struggle. She started to meet the people behind Fritz. Ira was fed up with just being a behind-the-scenes supporter. She was also fed up that her son was now in Fritz's hands, and no one knew where she was. Only Bhima could track her down, which might take a long time.Ira contacted her acquaintances. She asked for help to collect any evidence of Fritz's crimes. Ira also has a hacker acquaintance. She needed information from an authority and digital data about Fritz's financial statements. If Ira's suspicions were correct, Fritz should never have paid taxes."Where are we going, ma'am?" the driver asked."We're meeting this person!" said Ira as she showed the photo and sent the address to the car's direction system."Are you sure, ma'am? He's nothing more than a deceitful loan shark.""There is no more time. Edgar needs Elissa and she needs to be by his side.

The helicopter boarded by the SAR team also came up empty.

    Edgar fell. His legs were no longer strong enough to walk. No matter where he went, he couldn't find water. Edgar sat down. He leaned against a tree. He took the bottle of mineral water that was left. He opened it slowly and drank a little. He didn't know when he would get out of this wilderness.Edgar knew that if he got lost on the mountain, the fastest way to return was to return to the top. But in his current condition, that was not possible. It was also impossible for him to return to the path he used yesterday to climb to the top.Edgar didn't know how long he had been here. He also needed to find out what day it was. The last thing he remembered was chasing after Elissa, who Fritz had brought. Edgar hoped that Elissa would be okay.Edgar took a breath. He picked at the young leaves beside him—the easiest way to have a little energy. There were only 500 milliliters of mineral water left in his bag.

    "Is this really Edgar's shirt?" asked Jef.Araf nodded. He couldn't have forgotten that Edgar loved the soccer team with the blue shirt. He also loved the number 9. Even though this shirt was torn and covered in blood, there was still the name 'GAR' written on the back of the shirt."Is he still alive?" asked Araf in a trembling tone.This shirt was already tattered. Its shape was also out of the body. When Araf was resting and drinking, he saw this shirt stuck on a tree."The possibility is still 50:50. This shirt got stuck on the tree because maybe a monkey carried it. Unfortunately, there are still blood stains on this shirt, which means Edgar was injured," Jef explained.He reported his findings. Simultaneously, the search began to center around the river and the landslide. The sound of flying drones and helicopters could be heard. Drones began combing again, looking for Edgar's body heat from a height of 20 meters. Meanwhile, helicopters began to monitor from a high altitude."I
