Chapter 2 - Continent of Antarctica.

And in the instant after "Liem" read the contents of the paper, he felt a lonely and alone atmosphere.

But suddenly things turned very crowded and the guests were still there just like the last time he left.

And all around 'Liem' there are still some guests who are still cool and relaxed, chatting with each other on a nearby sofa.

However, the odd thing is that the pizza cardboard box is gone, but what is even more confusing is that a piece of paper that is right in his hand is still in his grasp.

Liem finally felt very confused while holding the letter 'Liem' looked up at his face and said to himself,

"What is the true meaning of all this incident?" Liem said quietly asking himself.

 …

1 week later.

The time where after the strange incident that Liem had felt at that time.

There was a rumbling sound from the aircraft engine and Liem woke up from his sleep on one of the benches in his private luxury plane.

Then after opening his eyes he 'Liem' returned to daydreaming of looking at the window door on his plane and recalling an incident a few days ago when he visited someone's house.

 …

Somewhere in the mansion,

Liem seemed to be talking to a man and in the conversation the man said:

"The real winner at the match was not me but Samuel, but in the end he never came to the match which ultimately made me the winner without competing" said the man who spoke to Liem.

Liem asked the man,

"Do you know the news from Samuel after that day until now, namely this time?"  Liem asked.

Then the man was silent and slowly shook his head and then said:

"No, never and no one has ever met and seen him again, even more so knowing how he is now after the incident and why do you want to ask that person?"  The man replied and asked Liem back.

"What is your relationship with him Liem?"  The man asked again.

"It's nothing, it's just that I think of someone who you beat without a match to make yourself the world martial arts champion before my arrival" said Liem continued,

"Even though in the end now I am the world champion after you, Back in my heart I wonder where that person is now" Liem replied.

Then after that was seen walking Liem leaving the man.

"Plaque Plaque Plaque" The sound of Liem's ​​footsteps left the man leaving.

Not long when Liem was about to approach the exit of the house, the man again said:

"Hey Liem, Samuel is very much like you, he is a fighter who has never tasted defeat in his life." Said the man continued,

"And he will end up feeling bored because no one is able to be his opponent while I was just a young man who was dissatisfied because he was always beaten by him" The man said, continuing his words again,

"Until finally I was still trying to challenge him to fight many times" Said the man continued,

"Because I'm sure he must also feel very lonely because he has become a great person like you" said the man.

Then Liem turned his face and said

"Thank you Paul for the information you have given me" said Liem with a smile and walked back out of the house.

It turns out that the man "Liem" had just spoken to was "Paul" the champion before Liem's ​​presence in the World League of Free Fighting battles.

When in the car, Liem sat and smiled and said to himself "Samuel, one day we will definitely meet".  said Liem quietly.

 ...

In an airplane,

'Liem' came back to his senses in his reverie.

Soon, a vast ice plain was clearly visible from the side of the airplane window and then soon the airplane landed.

"SWIING" The sound of the plane starting to land.

When the aircraft door began to open, it was immediately apparent that several military officers were lined up waiting for the arrival of 'Liem' and soon 'Liem' appeared slowly walking down the plane stairs.

"Plaque Plaque Plaque" The sound of Liem walking down the stairs of the airplane.

It looked like 'Liem' who had been from afar started to smile while walking towards the person who seemed to be the leader of the military there,

The one wearing a red beret with the logo of several stars on his head beret.

Finally when the two of them have faced each other "Liem" and that person just they both Salute each other.

The man in military clothing said,

"Welcome to the Champion" Said the military beret star.

Then the two of them shook hands with each other and he "Liem" said,

"Thank you for the welcome, General" replied Liem.

"General, Hahaha I like that title" Said the man in military clothing, laughing

Then soon they both laughed at each other and said the General back to Liem,

"Hey Liem, you have not changed at all, you still like to be humble as before" Said the military who was known to be the general.

And Liem laughed along with the military general and the two of them namely 'Liem and General' went walking into a car.

 ...

While chatting in the car, it was discovered that they were old friends, namely 'Liem and the General' who apparently already knew each other.

The general said to Liem,

"Liem still remember you after the war ended when we chose to join the military together," said the General

Finally, it turns out that Liem, before becoming a fighter, had served in the military in his youth.

"But when the war was over you finally chose to leave the military and chose to live on the streets until finally becoming a fighter in the world championship."  Said the General continued,

"That's right, the Battle Tower makes you even more famous and wealthy while I am just a general guarding this vast and lonely Ice" said the General who looked a little blaming the way of life he had chosen.

Finally the General laughed again as well as Liem they both laughed together

After that the General said again,

"What attracted you to come to this vast continent full of ice Liem?"  Asked the General

Liem only glanced at the General and finally said,

"I do not know, maybe I was just looking for answers when I received a paper challenge that I myself am still looking for at this time as well" Liem replied.

Then the General just looked at Liem with a raised eyebrow in a sign that he did not understand the reason that Liem said earlier.

Shortly there was a sound of car horns indicating they had entered a military base.

"TIINN TIINN" Car horn sound.

When the car stopped, someone could hear someone opening the car door from the outside

"GLEK" The sound of the car door opening.

When the car door opened, several people stood in line to greet the General and Liem.

"Welcome, General" Said the entire military force welcomed.

Finally, 'General and Liem' got out of the car and walked into the military headquarters together.

"Plaque Plaque Plaque" The sound of the General's footsteps and Liem walking.

 …

When he got to the office of the "General" Liem also saw a picture of the World Map but it was the same flat as the one he had seen in the book the Old Man had given him during the night at the party.

Soon he 'Liem' saw some photos, but there was one photo that finally made Liem very curious?

Obviously, it looks very strange because in the photo it is clear that there is a land that is so dry that there is not even a single ice

And he 'Liem' saw the other photo again, it was clear again like there was a fertile plain surrounding the lake but there was also an iceberg far behind from in the photo.

"Where was this photo taken?" Liem said to the General, pointing his finger at the photo on the wall.

"Oh that, never mind we still have a lot of time later I will explain to you" replied the general

Liem still looked confused looking at the photo then the General said again,

"Liem, you must be very tired after a long journey on the plane, so please rest first in your room which we have prepared," said the general.

"And let my soldier who will show you a room" Said the General to Liem by pointing to one of the soldiers who had come with him earlier.

Liem finally left and before Liem left he said,

"Thank you General," said Liem and immediately they smiled at each other.

 …

When walking together with the soldier, Liem only looked more silent while being assisted by the soldier carrying his suitcase, which was heard only the sound of their footsteps in the hallway of the headquarters corridor to Liem's ​​room.

"Plaque Plaque Plaque" sounded footsteps of Liem and the military soldier.

Shortly as they walked suddenly the soldier in front of Liem stopped and said the soldier to Liem,

"At first maybe you will be bored but calm down slowly you will also like this place full of mystery and I'm sure you will find something you are looking for" Said the Soldier.

Liem just stared at the soldier silently and smiled then they both walked back to Liem's ​​rest room.

Finally, Liem arrived at the door, not long after the soldier opened the key to the room and opened the door and said,

"Please enter this is your room" Said Soldier to Liem.

"Thank you friends," Liem replied, smiling at the soldier.

 …

Several hours later

You could see 'Liem' who was sitting silently on the edge of the mattress in his room.

When in his daydream he 'Liem' recalls the words of his late father when he was 'Liem' a child, precisely when he was 8 years old.

"My son, this world is very, very wide and full of many surprises so if you are lucky when you grow up, you will find something truth that no one dares to open Pandora's box of truth, so I hope you have to be a brave person to reveal the truth."  Liem's ​​father.

"What is Father's Pandora's Box of Truth?"  Asked the innocent little Liem to his father.

“The Truth Pandora's Box is such a big secret about this world that few people dare to find out the truth and its existence.” Father Liem replied.

"What do you mean dad?"  Liem asked his father again.

"Even the Pandora's Box of Truth can only choose the people it chooses to know and reveal the truth of the world that has been kept secret for so long that people have forgotten and I'm sure you will understand what father said when the time comes," said Father Liem.
