50 050 Beru

BOOM!

"What's that?" ask Beru in surprise

"Sir, we don't know, according to the report one of the explosive grenades accidentally exploded."

"What!? Who's the bastard responsible for that?" asked Beru angrily

"Sir, according to the report it's one of our men who accidentally discharged it when trying to equip it, he died in the explosions. Sir"

"Idiot! Where does the explosion happen?" ask Beru

"In the northeastern corner sir near the boiler room and luckily that part is mostly deserted, sir."

"Send someone to check it out. I want a full report on how this happens... wait. What? Where did you say the explosion happened again?" ask Beru worriedly

"In the northeastern corner sir, in the boiler area." the man replied

Beru was the head of security for a long time, after all, he was privy to some of the secrets he was aware of what kind of facility was hidden in that part of the HQ. even though he doesn't have access to that place it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about it.

Suddenly he felt like all the bad premonitions he has earlier are coming true, "send two squads in there, right now! I want full assessment on the damage hurry!" said Beru shouting

they didn't ask questions, they just follow orders. "Right away" sir.

"Shit, what the hell is going on? I feel like I'm trapped in some sort of nightmare." Beru cursed in his mind

"Sir, I think our monitoring system is compromised said one of the technicians."

"What do you mean?" ask Beru

"Some report we are receiving is weird like for example the explosion on the northeastern side of HQ the monitors there are down..."

"What's weird about it? It must have been damaged from the explosions" said Beru curiously

"We understand that sir, but take a look at this" he pointed at the monitor, it is the view from the corridor leading to the northeastern part of HQ where the explosion happened. "Did you notice it, sir?"

Beru looks at the corridor and frowns. "it's clean."

"That's right it's too clean if a normal explosion happens there then this place being untouched can be explained, but if the camera was destroyed then it means the explosion is big enough to damage and destroy their military-grade CCTV camera, that thing is very expensive for a reason. It's not just for video quality, their endurance is also top-notch as well. A normal gun can't damage them, in other words, if the explosion is strong enough to damage their state-of-the-art CCTV camera that corridor is impossible to be completely clean and untouched." said the technicians

"Sir, that's just one of them," the technician continues. But Beru no longer paid attention to them, he was trapped in his thoughts.

"Since when our system is compromised, is it from the very beginning? But what kind of technology can do this? it's not like we're using a century-old system. No, in fact, they are using the very latest and state-of-the-art systems money can buy. After all, The Spider prioritized the HQ security above all else, so what can do this?" Beru questioned himself.

In fairness Eve can't be blamed for this, she is able to render modified videos in the instant is already godly and no matter how capable she is it's almost impossible to account for all kinds of scenarios instantly, she only does what's the highest chance of success and executes it. The corridor being clean is intentional, it's part of her plan, the reason she did that is so the place they are attacking doesn't take too much attention, And therefore most likely be ignored.

But unfortunately for her, the technician was able to notice it, so Eve takes preventive measures that's all she can do, that's all she always does if her plan doesn't work she modified it based on the current situation, that is her job.

"Inform the Head right away!" said Beru

"yes, sir."

As Eve was made aware of the plan being exposed, so she plans to intercept the call to the head...

"No wait said Beru ill go there myself, I feel like we're being played with, and don't trust what you see in the monitor anymore, you go to captain Vera and tell him to mobilize everyone, we are under attack go!." Beru ordered

After giving some more orders Beru left and run straight to The Web he was perspiring, and anxious because he didn't know who or, what kind of enemies they are facing. The scariest thing in the world is the unknown, not knowing who or what is attacking them scares him.

At first, he was just walking fast to keep his image in front of his men, but as he goes the more anxious he gets, before he knows it he was already running...

BOOM! Another explosion was heard, this time it was in the southeast corner, he stops for a moment.

"That's in the armory shit!" Beru said he started running again.

He didn't call or ask anyone for a report, for he no longer trusts his communication device.

"Who the hell is attacking us? Is it the Morgan Family? When did they get this kind of ability being able to completely control our system, fool and copy our voice, and be able to know even our secret code, who the hell gave them this information?" He can only think of one possibility, "Traitors fuck!" Beru cursed in his mind...

In just 2-3 minutes he can already see the door leading to the Web there was no guard there, in fact, no one is allowed to come near here during the duration of the conference. When he get near the door, Beru slammed his shoulders into it, Bang! The door swings open...

The Head looks at the breathing heavily Beru, he was surprised no he was shocked, The whole room quieted down they all look at Beru in confusion...

"Beru what are doing here and what's going on?" asked one of the Elder pointing at Beru

As they look at Beru they all have a bad premonition it's very easy to tell something is very wrong, some of them started calling their subordinates that arrives with them to ask for info. Since the start of the conference they all turn their communication devices off, now that they open them they receive messages from their subordinates saying Beru has started a coup, and he was a traitor at first they didn't believe it and ask their subordinates not to talk nonsense but one by one all leaders and elders receive the same report, saying that Beru along with some people inside started the coup in coordination with Morgan Family and that the location of Beru is unknown at the moments.

At the same time, the subordinates of all elders and leaders receive a call from their master saying that Beru along with Some of the captains and guards of the HQ is planning a coup, and they need to stop them at all cost, the captains of the guards however also receive their orders, that some of the subordinates of the elders and leaders are spies from the Morgan Family and are planning to create havoc by saying that the guards are planning a coup and their job is to stop them at all cost.

And at the same time, everyone receives a transmission from the top that the group of people was coming to protect the Head, and they must not stop them at all cost for they are the hidden guards sent to protect The Web and everyone in it...

Of course, all of this is Eve's doing and the people inside the Web don't have any idea of what's happening outside the Web.
