The Midway Carrier, led by Admiral Gerard, was probably the only one of all other aircraft carrier still functioning all over the American naval fleet. Only 2 months had passed since the Doomsday start and this ship has arrived in Bali. This was a proof of how important the mission carried by this fleet. When Alex recognized Kenny, the CIA agent, had come along with these troops, Alex had thought they would come looking for him for some information.

Today, America, one of the most powerful countries in the world, would try with all its efforts to cope with the crisis that has engulfed the country and the entire earth. Looked like "picking up Alex" was not the exact term. A fleet with more than 4000 personnel and equipped with Delta special forces. They came here to catch Alex by all means possible.

But it seemed that once they got to the Bali island, the situation they're facing was far beyond their expectations. The Bali island had been transformed into a large fortress and moreover the man they would 'pick up' was the leader of this fort, this made their mission very troublesome.

Alex thought for a moment and tried to find the best way to deal with this situation.

"Admiral is this a direct order from the president? Who is the current president of America? "

"Yes, the current president is President Elizabeth McCord. She is a former secretary of the state. This is a direct order from her."

Kenny chimed in, "Yes Mr. Alex, I received this mission directly from President McCord."

In Alex's previous life, the American president in charge was not president Elizabeth Mccord, but a former general named Max. Looks like this was one of the butterfly effects that occur because of Alex. The history of America facing the end times has changed. Considering Max's actions at that time, McCord's leadership should be difficult. Because of Max, the American president in Alex's previous life, was a tough and iron-fisted leader.

(Max was the general who launched a bomb in Washington, outside of the President McCord's authorization and then escaped from prison.)

"Admiral ... Can't we just make a long-distance contact with the president?"

"When Midway departed from the American west coast, we managed to connect communications with the American west coast. But it seems that to cross the Pacific Ocean is not possible unless the underwater cable or the satellites are working. Currently there is no single satellite are reachable"

Alex felt something was still covered up by the admiral, but it was not the right time to force him. If the admiral dared to spill the beans in this gamble, it seemed like he was very confident on the fighter standing next to him.

Alex continued, "Admiral, honestly I want to help, but I don't have time to go back and forth to America now."

Admiral Gerard felt that it was indeed impossible. If he was in Alex's position, there was no way he would approve this bet ....

The Indian American soldier standing next to the admiral finally got impatient and leapt forward to the center of the match field and exclaimed.

"Is there no knight here?!! No one dares?!!"

Alex was a little surprised, from the simple jump that the man had just done, it seemed that this person's ability was unusual, not only from the strength and speed of the jump but also how he landed. Alex was sure that this man was a wind spiritual enhancer.

"My name is Nathanael Hawkeye, I am the son of Chingachgook of the Mohican tribe, I am the best warrior in this unit. I challenge your greatest warriors."

The American Indian man with reddish-brown skin, long black hair tied around roughly thirty years old, was a descendant of a well-known and respected Indian tribe. Since the age of 17, he had left his Navajo Nation, a special American Indian territory in Utah, Arizona. This man, who grew up in an environment of Indian traditional culture and joined the American military until he was selected into the delta forces.

Alex's warriors who gathered around were amazed by the figure of a delta force member who looked very ferocious. Alex looked between his groups; Rama the talented Pencak Silat fighter, was ready to fight. Since the beginning, Rama was a Pencak Silat expert, certainly he was very interested in fighting this person. On the other hand, the one that caught Alex's attention was colonel Arief, a middle-aged man who was a Deathsquad fighter and a metal spirit enhancer who seemed staring at Alex for approval to come forward. The one who used to be very quiet and rarely chimed in was even interested in fighting.

Actually in Alex's mind, these evolved ones were very rare, and having one or two members is really a fortune, Alex knew the greatness and strengths of those people who had some talents as spirit enhancers, and sometimes he felt jealous of their luck. Alex was not a spirit enhancer, sometimes he wondered why ordinary fighters like him were chosen to be reincarnated, was he really chosen or was this just a coincidence ....

Nathaniel took off his military uniform and put on a red headband, and then took out two weapons; a combat knife and a traditional small Indian axe. Seeing the fighter's figure and the weapon in his hand in front of him, Alex finally decided to accept this challenge.

Looked like the final battle is inevitable, Alex's was cornered. He thought, if he could not back down, he might as well use this opportunity to gain more luck.

Alex wrote a request on a piece of paper and handed it over to the admiral, who shook his head while reading the list. The paper contained a list of items that would be an American bet if Alex won this bet. Inside the letter was a list of types and numbers of most modern weapons of the American special forces, the most recent communication devices.

The more Admiral Gerard looked down the more he wiped his sweat

84 pieces of Bofors 44mm machine guns,

68 pieces of Oerlikon 20 mm canons.

And plus 2 units of delta troops.

"...."

The request of the latest handguns and communication tools was quite easy for Admiral Gerard to fulfill it, but the machine guns and canons listed by Alex were all machine guns and canons installed in the Carrier Midway. If he lost this bet, it could be said that the Midway warship would be like a beautiful woman who was stripped and ready to be devoured by the prey from all sides.

"Mr. Alex ...are you kidding me?" ....

But Alex just smiled, in his mind he hoped the admiral would be willing to risk the entire Midway warship. But there was a possibility that would not happen. An admiral without a warship would not be able to defend his admiral's title.

If indeed the Midway ship was not put at stake, Alex actually wanted to add 18 pieces of MK16 artillery which were the main and most powerful weapons of Midway, or the Sea Sparrow rocket launcher and the Phalanx automatic rifle into the list. But these three types of weapons were too difficult to remove from the ship itself. So Alex was forced to have enough of that list.

If the admiral could read Alex's mind which was like a loan shark, he would fly into a rage. For the admiral, this list was quite a headache but he could get a replacement at the naval base when he returned. At the very time his mission to bring Alex was more important. The situation in America was currently in turmoil, he wanted to quickly return to get involved in stabilizing the conditions there.

The admiral asked to Alex.

"Why do you need 2 units of delta forces?"

Alex casually responded, "I need more instructors, we can treat them as the American ambassadors place here to strengthen our relationship. One year at most. And then they can return to America."

Again the admiral thought, what he was talking about actually made sense, but it was hard for him to leave these people. However, seeing Nathaniel who was standing out loud in the middle of the field full of confidence, the admiral finally responded,

"I approve half of this list, how about it?"

"75% no less."

The admiral felt he was being mocked by Alex at this time. This weapons and his soldiers were not like merchandise in stores that could easily be used as bargains. But never mind, he thought he was very confident in Nathanael's strength, he also had other backup plans.

"OK, agree."

"Great, I'm sure you will not break a promise, Admiral!"

"Don't feel too much confident that you will win Mr. Alex, have you decided who is your chosen fighter?"

Alex looked back between his fighters, Rama and Arief were ready to take part in the fight, but Alex turned back and looked at Admiral Gerard. Alex then raising his index finger, pointed it to his own face.

"I choose myself"

"...."

"Yes, I will fight this time."
