Black Eagles

In ARK Corporation President's room.

The woman had her head down with her gaze fixated to the documents on her desk. She was so focused on the papers that she missed the sound of the door opening and closing. A man walked in stride towards her desk with a grin.

As he approached the desk, he turned on the iPad and opened the documents she had requested of him a week ago. He even seated himself and waited for the woman to be aware of his presence. Alas, that was a stupid idea…

He cleared his throat to make his presence known.

The woman lifted her head slightly and faced down again almost immediately. "Do you have the information I need for Starlight?"

"Yeah… I have it here. I am amazed at how much dirt the B.O.Ds have. I think we will have enough materials for us to shake those oldies to surrender their shares to us at market price," Daniel replied while passing the iPad to Hidayah. "In actual fact, I believe, we can even take over the shares without spending any money too."

A/N: B.O.Ds = Board of Directors

"No, that is not necessary. I do not need to get my shares into Starlight that way. I need it to be clean… well, in a way," Hidayah smiled while going over the information her Intelligence team had compiled. "What about our manpower for the Black Eagles?"

"We have a stronghold of about 500 now. Only at half of the intended capacity," Hidayah nodded at the information. She knows that the number she has at the moment is not satisfactory but for a force of 500 to be rounded up in 3 months, that itself is a feat on its' own. In times of chaos, it is harder for them to hire and train soldiers of at least an A rank, especially with the military enlisting almost all eligible candidates away.

"It's okay, we have another 9 months to reach our target. What about the intelligence team? Has Leoneil gotten all the manpower he needs? If he needs more, we can try to recruit the students from the Imperial College again." Leoneil is the Captain of the Intelligence team. He was also one of the best hackers of Country C that she knows.

The team members, not only excels in technology, but they have also been equipped with the skills to do reconnaissances and support the battlefield. Each member of the team was selected personally by her and Leoniel from the military faculty of the college. Their alma mater is one of the world-class universities that has both secular and military studies. Leoniel was also her senior in the Judo club. The twins themselves have reached the 6th Dan ranked while Daniel and Leoniel are both 8th Dan ranked.

"I know you want to have a separate army from the family's but I still do not get why you need that much…" Daniel knows that as the heiress of ARK Empire, she needs to have control on both sides. But the rate she is going is just too rushing. As of what he knows, to succeed as the next head of the Loh family, she first needs to achieve it by the age of 30. She still has 5 years to go. Plus, she does not need to establish her own army. Even the current head did not have his own separate army. Though, he does have his own Intelligence team that exceeds far better than the government's secret service.

"This is different. The army the family has is to control the underground network and assist the government. The Black Eagles are a force that will act as an independent army. Away from the family and away from the President's hold," she puts the iPad down and turned her chair towards the window behind her desk. "When are you going back to the training ground?" Hidayah looked at Daniel.

"After lunch. Do you want to join me later?"

"Yeah… I wanna go to the ground. I need a break from the paperwork. Plus, it's time for me to introduce Erika to the Intelligence team."

"Sure, I will inform Leoneil." Daniel stood and took his leave. There was still some work waiting for him on his desk before he ends his day at the office.
