Shahril, I have sent you the news via email. Have you read it?

"Yes, I have read it, M."

"How? What are your thoughts?"

"Are you asking for my opinion? Are you kidding me?"

"My comment is simple. The plan was executed successfully. Praise should be given to those who implemented it, and let's not forget those who planned it."

"You seem quite proud of him."

"Not proud, but appreciative. Only intelligent and skilled individuals can accomplish such a task."

"That's for sure. I am well aware of that."

"Can we meet?"

"For what purpose?"

"To discuss it."

"Danger, M. Danger. I don't want to take the risk."

"I already anticipated that. That's your answer, Shahril."

"So why did you ask?"

"To ensure that it is really you, Shahril."

"Ha! Ha! Ha! You're clever. I truly hope we can continue working together. Tasks like these are too complex for me to handle alone. You understand my situation, don't you?"

"What about Zuria?"

"Do I need to answer that question?"

"Not necessarily. Just to confirm it's really you."

"You're as smart as me."

"Have you heard about the Secret Heart Foundation?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Is your answer no?"

"Yes, it is. So, tell me, M."

"Shahril, I heard that the foundation received a donation of three million dollars."

"Wow! That's a substantial amount! I'm amazed."

"I'm sure you must be surprised. The source is a company in Zuria."

"When did this happen? And how did you find out?"

"It happened a month ago. I received the information from a reporter. I have many sources of information as well."

Such a significant amount and the foundation can undoubtedly provide assistance to some of the impoverished citizens in the country.

"Are you certain?" questioned the man known as M. Shahril, amused by the man's words.

"Do you doubt it?"

"Well, I still see many impoverished individuals," the man replied.

"Does Adam know about the donation?" M inquired.

"What do you mean? About the donation?"

"Yes, has he been informed?"

"That's the issue. I tried to contact him, but I failed."

"What do you mean? Did he intentionally disconnect his phone?"

"No, it's just that the operator responded with 'The number you called is not in service.'"

"M, it seems you are unaware. He has changed his number..."

"He changed his number?"

"That's alright. I will provide you with his new number later."

"Alright. Oh, by the way, Shahril, I need to visit the foundation. There might be more information we can gather."

"Information about the foundation's savings? What do you intend to do? Take it?"

"You're quite astute, but I haven't even mentioned what I want to acquire. And 'take' is not the appropriate word; 'seize' is more accurate."

"Are you joking? It sounds serious."

"Do you think so?"

"You had a question about Zuria earlier, didn't you?"

"Yes, well, I'll be there tomorrow."

"Are you prepared to go there?"

"Absolutely. My team is already assembled. I'm confident they can execute our plans."

"Alright, I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you."
