Indonesia is a democratic country, the President are elected by the people, there are also the cabinets members, also elected by the people to watch over the government. These are the politicians, they are divided into the Presidential party and the opposition party, they often in contradiction. During Alex previous life, the president, the vice, and most cabinet member, all died from the plague, so the country loose its central leaders.h.i.+ps. None of the survive cabinet members are eligible or given the power to lead. Democracy are the best for peace time, but in time like this they are the worst.The law enforcement took control. Indonesian law enforcement are divided into two big organisation, the police force and the army. The police force in charge in handling domestic threat while the army on foreign threats. There are no preparation for plague like this, finally because lack of central command and communication, each General set up their own each survival base, they become "king" in each of their own regiment.
The last but not least are the rich and powerful 9 dragons. These are the group of 9 families, who control 9 big corporation such as Tobacco, Real estate, Oil, Bank, Pharmacy, Technology, Media etc. These 9 corporation control 90% of the country economy, it could even be said that they control the government itself. Some of them even control some part of the army and police force. In Alex previous life, they actually spend the first many years fighting among them self, when they finally join forces it was already too late.
In his previous life Alex knew a few of the 9 dragons family, and fight alongside together but, at the moment they are strangers, Alex currently thinking of a way to convince at least one of them to support him before the end of days.
In the city of Surabaya, East Java main city. At night in one luxury real estate compound, a figure wear black clothes seen jumping in from outside the wall. If someone could see this scene they will be surprised as the wall are 4 meter high and the guy seems to jump pa.s.s it easily.
Of course the guy is Alex.
"Reincarnated life, a Mission to save the world, but why do i feel more like a thief each day"
"What a mansion, this is not a house this is a palace"
There are few bodyguards all around the estate, but with his perception and agility, its pretty easy for Alex to dodge them undetected.
"The dogs will be the tricky one, i should just jump up to the roof and crawl from the top"
Alex walk inside one of the room from a balcony, there he see a man sitting in a wheelchair. the man startled when he saw Alex.
"Mr James, let me introduce myself, i am Alex"
"please don"t bother calling your guard, i don"t want another cliche of hitting your guard to get your attention."
James Randal, the family head of Randal family, one of the 9 dragons family. The Randal family like all the other family got their fame and fortune from trading the country natural resources, Oil, plantation, and such, but his main business actually is in the medical sector. The Randal family have the most hospital and medical research center all over the country. it could even be considered one of the best in all over the world.
James Randal is the most driven man he knows, in Alex previous life, as the Randall family are the best in medical expertise compare to all the other 9 dragons family, they were in a friendly term with him. James has become the family head since he was only 25 years old. His father died from a unique bone disease 10 years ago. Since then James manage to lead the family into a prominence, despite the threat of many wolf inside and outside the family.
The Randal family expert in medical science, but for him its become such a joke, his father and his grandfather died of the same bone disease, a biologic diseases that become the family curse. Currently even with his resources, of hundred of medical expert and thousands of studies the family still unable to find the cure. 5 years ago the disease also starting to affect James, What are the use of money and power if eventually human cant escape death, and his death will come early, James think 10 years at most, but there still no breakthrough. This is his number one goal in life. and this will be Alex way to gain favor into the 9 dragons family.
James Randal think for a little and respond
"You manage to enter unoticed pa.s.sed through my guards, despite them being ex-special force. even in my normal condition, i doubt i can escape, never mind with this wheelchair."
"what do you want,?"
Alex responded
"there are something that i need, and i am willing to trade it with something that will interest you"
"i doubt it, there"s not much in this world that interest me anymore"
"what about cure for your illness.. even better.. what about the secret of eternal life..?"
"Hahahahaha.. is this suppose to be a joke? did my cousin send you?
Alex took out a white s.h.i.+ny stone and show it to James.
"This is a spirit stone, you will surprised the wonder it could gives. i will give you one to let your scientist and researcher study it."
James said. "Don"t play around with me..
Alex suddenly moves close to him, with such a speed James cant explain. Alex took another stone out and force it into James mouth.
"This one is for you take this stone seriously"
"one of this stone wont be enough to cure your disease, i have plenty more, i believe you will be interested, i will find you again soon"
Alex left the other spirit stone on the table next to James. and jump out of the window. Alex quickly leave the compound.
James wanted to call his guards to go after Alex, but he suddenly feel something changed with his body, one spirit stones enough to change a low stage into a mid stage mortal realm. It only took about 15 minutes for one spirit stone to work. A normal person will suddenly have the speed and strength of an Olympic athletes. For James, he suddenly feel his body full of vigor, he can already feel both his legs. He tried and actually able to hold up standing for a few second.
"2 more spirit stone used, 26 left, almost half already used" hope its worth it. i should give him some time to study the stone so i can exploit him better later.
"Although even if he agree to help me i doubt it will be enough."
"If he"s not interested maybe i can sneak again to take the spirit stone back."
The next morning, in the news, Alex heard something disturbing.
