Chapter 37 - Chapter 37 : Mysterious Passenger

Upon receiving the cloth from the seller,

Art immediately sewed it into clothing resembling that of a local villager in the area, making it less likely for him to be recognized by people nearby.

After removing his intel outfit, Art grabbed a camera to create a documentary video inside the royal palace.

Art set off toward the palace to gather information about Rojan.

Upon arriving at the royal palace, not a single guard suspected that he was Art.

"Excuse me, I would like to make a documentary video to commemorate the beauty of this palace!" said Art, posing as a local resident.

"You may film in the garden and in front of the palace only. However, you are strictly forbidden from filming inside or entering any of the palace rooms!" the guards said firmly.

"Oh, alright. Thank you for allowing me to make this documentary, it will only take a short while," replied Art confidently.

Then Art slowly began to walk around the palace grounds, recording the entire layout of the palace and gardens, and discreetly attaching small GPS chips in hidden corners.

While Art was carrying out his espionage mission, suddenly Rojan and Polo exited through the palace's front door. They ordered the guards to prepare a horse-drawn carriage because they were going to hold a meeting with the nearby villagers.

Art quickly pretended to continue filming and moved toward the back to avoid being noticed by Rojan and Polo.

After Rojan and Polo boarded the carriage and departed for the villagers' houses, Art swiftly followed them from behind and attached a GPS chip to the back of the carriage.

Art then activated the GPS device and began listening in on the conversation between Rojan and Polo during their journey.

"I will gather all the villagers to organize a tournament—a battle to select the strongest fighters. Whoever proves to be the strongest will be appointed as the palace's new general. Our previous general has been dead for some time, and we've been handling all palace duties ourselves. Therefore, I will divide our duties with the new general once chosen," said Rojan.

"Alright, we will announce the tournament soon and gather the villagers at the market square so that everyone will be informed," added Polo.

Art recorded their entire conversation through the GPS device and sent the information to the Venice Police Department.

After listening to the tournament plans, Mr. Andrew from the police department decided to send a tough fighter to participate in the tournament.

"Alright, Art. After hearing their conversation, I will immediately send someone!" Mr. Andrew said over the phone.

"Alright, sir. I'll pick him up once he arrives, and I'll guide him," said Art, while leaving the palace.

Meanwhile, Tommy, who was enjoying a romantic moment with Jeni on an electric train, was suddenly startled when a group of robbers hijacked the carriage, forcing the passengers to hand over their money and jewelry.

The robbers wore ninja outfits and masks, making them difficult to recognize.

The situation became even more tense when one of the robbers shot a passenger who tried to fight back.

Hearing the gunshot, all passengers became panicked and fell silent.

"If anyone else tries to resist, we won't hesitate to shoot!"

"Now quickly hand over all your valuables!" the robbers commanded firmly.

All the passengers reluctantly handed over their money and jewelry.

When it was Tommy and Jeni's turn, the robbers forced them to surrender all their valuables.

"Quick, hand over all your money!" demanded one robber while pointing a gun.

Tommy reluctantly handed over his luxury Rolex watch.

"This watch is worth 50,000 dollars. It's all I have left—don't ask anything from the girl!" pleaded Tommy, trying to protect Jeni.

"That's not enough! Hand over that gold necklace too!" demanded the robbers when they saw Jeni's gold necklace.

Jeni, reluctantly, was about to give the necklace, but Tommy intervened and tried to snatch it back.

However, Tommy's action was blocked by the robbers, who threatened to shoot him in the head.

Tommy had no choice but to let the robbers take Jeni's necklace.

The robbers continued looting the passengers, putting every stolen item into a large box.

Meanwhile, Tommy secretly began recording the robbery using his iPhone, placing his bag near his feet while filming the entire incident.

The police, after receiving Tommy's video footage, were astonished and immediately attempted to track the train heading towards Japan.

"Secure the victims immediately and capture the suspects! Carry out your mission carefully to avoid any more casualties!" Mr. Andrew instructed firmly.

The police hurried to locate the robbers, using helicopters to track the train.

They tried to stop the train by contacting the train controllers and engineers.

However, Tommy's iPhone suddenly rang, startling both the passengers and the robbers.

In a tense moment, the robbers threatened Tommy and seized his iPhone.

But in a flash, Tommy kicked the robber's weapon, leading to a fierce hand-to-hand fight between Tommy and the robbers.

Using his martial arts skills, Tommy successfully took down the robbers one by one.

Eventually, Tommy managed to recover all the passengers' valuables and returned Jeni's gold necklace to her.

"Oh thank goodness, Tommy! You're amazing—you're truly a hero!" said Jeni emotionally.

Suddenly, the train came to a halt before reaching the station in Japan.

The train engineers came out and checked on all the passengers in each carriage.

Soon after, the police arrived by helicopter, inspected the entire train, and arrested all the robbers, who had been knocked out by Tommy.

"Is everyone alright?" asked the engineers and police.

"Yes, sir, we're all safe, thankfully. Although one passenger was shot," replied Tommy.

"Alright, we'll handle it immediately and take these robbers into custody," said one of the police officers.

The robbers were handcuffed and taken to the police station.

Tommy then tried to remove the mask from one of the robbers' faces but did not recognize him. However, there was one robber Tommy remembered—the mysterious passenger who had been wearing a fedora hat.
