Chapter 1 Debate

  • Nick squeezed the door to avoid the blazing fire in Jess' eyeballs. The man felt his pride and reputation being trampled on. For years, no one dared defy his will. He looked briefly at his wife, the flickering fire there had mixed with the melted tears. His concave eyes welled up in melancholy. With long legs, he made his way toward the woman who had successfully ensnared him.
  • "I'm sorry, Jess!" Nick reached for that little body that was only up to his chest. She let him go, but also did not reply.
  • "Jess, I have to go. You have to understand."
  • "What if you fail? Will you keep putting your stupid mission first? I don't want you to keep leaving me." Jess stayed one step away from her husband, her gaze demanding.
  • "Have you ever heard of my failure?" asked Nick, silence fell into their debate for a moment.
  • "But, Nick ...."
  • "Didn't you and Jacob share that information in the first place? What does it mean if not recommended?"
  • "I'm just telling a story. Why did you make it a mission? I didn't send you there anyway." That little woman is angry.
  • "Don't argue with me, Jess! Only this task would restore their trust." Nick's eyes freeze everything.
  • "All right, do whatever you want. Do it while you can. Begone! I won't stop you anymore." Jess finally gave in and stopped arguing with her husband.
  • "Really?" Jess nodded in the lingering resentment. Nick smiled so sweetly. Nick kissed Jess' forehead before going into the workroom. There, Nick remembered the newspaper he kept.
  • It was a paper given by Jacob Alfonso of its 1972 issue that he collected from a special rack of silver lining. His brain is reviewing the title "mysterious killer". The newspaper contained information about a mysterious tribe that was thought to be the leading cause of the deaths of tourists. According to the news circulating, they are female. Until this moment, the incident has not been uncovered.
  • After all, anyone who steps into the forest will lose the life in mysterious ways. It was proven when the families of the victims along with the police never returned after an investigation.
  • Finally, the government closed cases, and banned anyone from conducting an investigation. They'll be fined one million dollars for violating the statute. Nick moved his eyeballs up like he was thinking of something, then he moved on after grappling with the cell phone screen. The backpack that was prepared long ago had been moved on his back. Nick is sitting comfortably in the living room. The twenty-one-year-old man looked at his wife reading a magazine while sipping her favorite hot chocolate. He knew, that activity was just a cover to cover the disappointment. The sadness on the woman's face could be read easily.
  • "Nick, are you really going? Think again." Nick paused his eye activity for a moment, then walked up to the woman.
  • "I'm sorry, Jess. I got a go. I got a go. You must take good care of yourself, and our child. I'll send Bill, and Velove to accompany you. I love you." The brown hair owner hugged Jess after a while, kissing her ruddy lips before he actually left.
  • A few minutes later ....
  • "Hi, Jess, why are you sad like a child?" Jess threw a sofa cushion at Yodas who had just come with Gaffin.
  • "Normally you'd like it when Nick leaves because you're free to play with your boyfriend," said Gaffin. His mouth was full of bubblegum, and no guilt.
  • "What do you mean?" Jess glared, not cool with what her husband's best friend said.
  • "Why are you so noisy?" Nick made a sound at last.
  • "Jess, we're leaving. Wish us luck with your speedy return." Nick kissed his wife's distended abdomen, and then gave her a warm kiss on each side of her pretty face.
  • "All right, be careful. Come back quickly. The baby and I are waiting for you." Finally, with a heavy heart, the twenty-year-old woman bid her husband goodbye.
  • Somehow, Nick's departure this time really made Jess feel very sad. In fact, he had become accustomed to the insane hobby of tall man. Not only was Nick a traveler and hunter of rare objects, but he also had a sense of curiosity every time he heard the myths circulating in his ears. He is willing to go far for proof.
  • Along with Yodas and Gaffin, Nick drives a sports car to a headquarters on the outskirts of Brazil. They, with a pilot and a team of six people from the community, quickly glided through private air vehicles to fulfill their new mission.
  • "Good luck! If you succeed, bring me more gold. You know? It was full of gold," Jacob said as he patted Nick on the back. The young man just smiled blankly.
  • The whole trip was filled with bullshit. Nick doesn't respond much to his friends. He was more focused on looking at the scene beneath his feet. Brazil looks stunning from a height.
  • "Are you sure we're going to make it this time?" Yodas suddenly asked after a long flurry of activity.
  • "We should have such faith." Nick said with a straight expression.
  • "What if we fail?" Joe asked questions, and there was a small doubt in his eyes.
  • "Hey, that's impossible. We are great explorers. We've always been successful, haven't we?" Gaffin says with such conviction.
  • "But, this mission is different. We are not looking for treasure or prehistoric materials, but we are looking for people of a dangerous inland tribe, "Steve said as he cultivated his long hair.
  • "We are bound to succeed. Calm down! If those female tribes really are real, we can conquer and marry them, right? Heard in the lore, they're very beautiful in their old age. Relax, they're just a bunch of women, "says Youvee. His rather arrogant style of speech made some of them want to vomit out the breakfast they had swallowed this morning.
  • "Haha! You're so greedy, Youvee. Even the common people will think thousands of times about marrying you." Lutfi's taunts succeeded in burning the white man's ear.
  • "You!" Youvee clenched his fist.
  • "Hey, don't get mad! I was just kidding," said Lutfi.
  • "Will you please stop this nonsense?" Nick made a cold noise.
  • "Nothing's wrong. We just don't underestimate women. Women are not as weak as we think!" Sanskar speaks, the bloody Indian man has his own fears when Youvee talks casually about women.
  • "Listen! This mission is heavy and dangerous. It is only proper that we guard our speech and our manners. There may be many inland tribes there, hopefully we won't find them. Do not create distractions." Everyone seems to agree with Nick's opinion. No exception Mehmet who has been listening silently without an expression. Fingers are busy swiping the prayer beads.
