The Traitor's Exposure
SEASON 3 CHAPTER FIVE
"I have completed my task here. It is time for me to rendezvous with the Crimson Army men," stated Max Willam in a serious tone.
The Crimson Army men, who were stationed in the forest, received a message from their master and promptly emerged with the suspect in tow.
"Welcome back, Master," greeted the Crimson Army men.
Max acknowledged their salutations and inquired about the individual they had brought with them. The Crimson Army men proceeded to explain the situation to Max.
"I see. The Empire State has heightened their security measures with various weapons and arts. This complicates matters as we were unable to deliver the message and the suspect to the king," remarked Max.
"Indeed, Master. We were unable to gain entry," confirmed the Crimson Army men.
"Very well. I shall take matters into my own hands and escort this individual myself," declared Max.
"Understood, Master," replied the Crimson Army men.
Max then handed them magical cubes and instructed them on how to use them to reach a mansion in the black void space where they could rest.
"Thank you, Master," expressed the Crimson Army men with gratitude.
Max Willam returned to the Empire State with the three humanoid bulls, who were the size of humans and invisible to the naked eye. After walking for hours, Max finally reached the secret gate as instructed by the Empire State king.
"Subject 12, you're back. Who is the person on your back?" one of the royal guards, who were guarding the gateway, asked.
"Well, he's a person the king is waiting to meet," Max Willam replied, carrying Commander Jong on his back.
"Okay, you can go through the gateway. I'm sure the king is waiting for you," the royal guard said, allowing Max to pass.
Max Willam proceeded and it took another hour for him to reappear inside the Empire State.
"Well, it looks like I arrived early. I better get back to the king," Max Willam said, heading towards the castle where the Empire State king resided.
Inside the Empire State, the king was having his morning breakfast in the hall with his wife and children.
"Husband, how are things going with the kingdom?" the Empire State king's wife asked.
"Well, things are going well. I am planning to build new houses for the refugee camps within the next few days," the Empire State king replied, while eating.
"Daughter, is everything okay? It looks like you haven't touched your food," the Empire State king's wife said, looking at her daughter with concern.
"It's nothing, mother. I'm just not really hungry today," the Empire State king's daughter replied.
"Very well," the Empire State king's wife said.
Shortly thereafter, a maid entered the room to inform the ruler of the Empire State, known as the king, about the arrival of Max Willam, also referred to as Subject 12.
The king promptly informed his family that he needed to meet with someone and excused himself from the hall. He made his way directly to the throne room, where Max Willam patiently awaited his presence.
"Subject 12, you have returned safely," acknowledged the king of the Empire State.
Max Willam, accompanied by his personal guards, entered the throne room and respectfully knelt before the king as a gesture of greeting.
"Yes, my king. I deemed it wise to report to you promptly regarding the just-completed mission," Max Willam replied, still kneeling.
"Excellent! Excellent! So, what have you discovered?" inquired the king eagerly.
Max Willam proceeded to explain every detail to the king, presenting the suspect before him. To everyone's astonishment, the suspect turned out to be the king's own first son. Max Willam, observing the king's expression, realized that the king may have already suspected his son's involvement in the illicit trade of their kingdom's weaponry to the Congress Collusion Kingdom.
"Subject 12, you have performed admirably. I am deeply grateful for your efforts. You may now go and rest," the king commended.
"Thank you very much, my king," Max Willam expressed his gratitude before leaving the throne room.
