"The plan we devised that day was too simplistic, and I'm concerned that our overconfidence could lead us into a dangerous situation. Despite knowing that this country lags behind in security measures, it seems that our endeavors are becoming increasingly challenging. I strongly suspect that whoever was filming that day was fully aware of our plan, yet they chose not to intervene. This begs the question: why? Consider that you were at a considerable distance from the scene; if they managed to capture your face, it indicates a prolonged period of surveillance. Our capture of the young man and the subsequent events achieved little because the truth cannot remain concealed indefinitely,” John Mwituka conveyed to his son within the confines of their surroundings.
“As for the lawyer you mentioned, have you determined where she obtained those videos?”
“I haven't had the chance to speak with her yet; she's being kept in a secure location due to my busy church schedule. I cannot afford any suspicion regarding my activities. The team retrieved her, fortunately without encountering any security personnel. They found a flash drive and a laptop containing incriminating footage implicating you with the weapon. This footage, if it had reached the authorities, would have posed a significant problem. They would question the identity of the real murderer if the individual sentenced wasn't you. This would have complicated matters further. Hence, it's imperative for you to cease hiding here; there's no purpose in prolonging it. You must embark on your tasks personally, as I don't fully trust the operatives we've employed.”
“Sir, you previously mentioned infiltration into the national security apparatus of this country. Why then are we facing difficulties, and why are our operatives present?”
“There's been no noteworthy activity within the security apparatus that warrants concern. No official announcements or meetings have occurred. Our operatives are present, but even their leadership remains elusive, and everyone simply receives their salaries without assigned duties. This situation is highly irregular and warrants extreme caution.”
“When should I proceed, and what task do you have in mind for me?” inquired the man, ready to execute any directive from his superior.
“Your operational alias is Seven, though it differs from your legal identity, Patrick. There's significant symbolism behind this designation, and I emphasize that you must remember your purpose and identity as you undertake these missions. I expect flawless execution from you; there's no room for error.”
“After the Second World War, the U S experienced significant economic growth and was officially recognized as the world's most economically powerful nation. This was because it remained unaffected by the economic downturn, instead lending high-cost loans to other nations, which resulted in accumulating substantial reserves. However, our beloved nation did not rest on its laurels. The leaders of that time understood that other countries would covet our economy, leading to numerous conspiracies. Everyone would seek to leverage America's influence to revive their economies, posing a grave threat to the US itself. Consequently, our nation intensified its defense capabilities and trained highly skilled operatives to gather classified information from various major countries worldwide, especially concerning US. Thus, the secret program to annually appoint the 'Invisible Man of the Year' was initiated. This individual was officially tasked with defending the country's interests against anyone seeking to spy on it's assets.”
“People were trained from that era onwards, with advancements in technology significantly aiding in creating individuals who were more vigilant and effective than their predecessors. In 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union caused immense relief because it was a major threat to our nation. Before its dissolution, a plan called 'The Seven Procedures to Reach Moscow' was devised by the government. This plan aimed to dismantle the Soviet Union's influence, which posed a significant global threat. The six propaganda steps were devised as a safety net to disseminate information about the union, ensuring its demise. The final option, option seven, was assigned to a specially trained individual, a continuation of those trained since World War II, and this person was given the designation Seven. But why Seven?”
“There are only ten digits in the world, though some argue there are nine because zero isn't counted. However, zero is a complete number; its placement before other numbers doesn't diminish their value, but it significantly increases their worth. Try adding an extra zero to a bank transaction, and you'll understand. Of all these digits, the number seven is considered the luckiest, perhaps why even the renowned footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is so enamored with it. So, that number was bestowed upon this individual as the last resort if the six steps failed. The propaganda extensively spread nationalism, emphasizing the importance of sovereignty for each nation, as they were previously unified under the Communist Party in Moscow. Hence, the Seven Procedures to Reach Moscow were devised to undermine this unity, ensuring discord and demands for autonomy. These six steps were executed flawlessly, but it was Seven, entering as a refugee from Mozambique, who played the decisive role, utilizing his refugee status to infiltrate and reside in Moscow. He orchestrated the operation, achieving a success rate of 90%, with the remaining 10% utilized for propaganda.”
"After World War II, the United States made remarkable economic progress, solidifying its position as the world's leading economic powerhouse. This was because it remained unaffected by the global economic downturn and instead provided substantial loans to other nations. Consequently, the US amassed a significant reserve, unmatched by any other country. However, our nation's leaders recognized that this prosperity could attract envy and pose risks. Therefore, they focused on strengthening national defense, creating specialized units and individuals to gather confidential information from major global players, particularly concerning US interests. Thus, the 'invisible man of the year' program was clandestinely initiated to safeguard the nation's assets."
"Individuals were trained from that era, and advancements in technology enabled the development of even more vigilant operatives. In 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union brought relief, as it had posed a significant threat. Prior to its collapse, a plan called 'THE SEVEN PROCEDURES TO REACH MOSCOW' was devised, indicating the strategic importance of Moscow and the need to counter potential threats."
"Twelve years later, SEVEN, the key operative, was apprehended and executed while attempting to flee. His loss was deeply felt, as he played a pivotal role in advancing our nation's interests. In tribute to him, future operatives were named SEVEN. It's unclear why your role model differs from the norm. Nonetheless, your role as SEVEN continues the legacy, and assistance is readily available should you need it, except during my church commitments."
"I get it, boss. Just waiting on your word," he listened closely to his boss's briefing, fully prepared to receive his instructions. Like a well-oiled machine built for a specific purpose, he was ready to serve.
"Head out and tidy up the city," came the directive from his leader. With that, he was officially entrusted with the task of cleaning up Tanzi's main city Dar.
"Understood, boss," he acknowledged the order, ready to dive into the streets and address any issues that arose.
