Annoying and unexpected problems

I and Tun went to talk to Prayun about my plan. Prayun agreed with this plan. The next day, he contacted other major insurgents to try using connections to request a meeting with the Finance Minister.

However, it was certainly very difficult because most insurgent members did not have many financial connections, but there was still a way to meet. But before we could meet the Finance Minister, I encountered an unexpected and annoying problem.

At night, at Prayun's house.

After minor tasks all day, I went to sleep but couldn't fall asleep, so I thought I'd go get my notebook. I left the room and came downstairs from Prayun's house.

As I was coming down from the house, I heard something breaking outside. So I went out to see what the sound was.

When I opened the front door, I saw a group of people wearing black masks looking at my car and seemed about to steal it.

"Hey!!!"

I shouted out without realizing why I was shouting. When they heard it and turned towards the sound, one of them immediately pulled out a gun and fired.

Bang!!!

I closed the door and took cover from the bullets quickly. While the sound of gunshots and bullets came into the house fast.

Bang bang!!!

(Sound of bullets)!!!

I took cover from the bullets by crawling and moving to find shelter, remaining alert about what to do next. After a while, the sound fell silent instead. So I moved to a hiding spot where I could lay low before hearing the sound of the door opening into the house.

~(Sound of slowly opening door)~

Suddenly, Tun came downstairs with the revolver he had brought, and fired at the door.

Bang bang bang

Causing the person about to open it to be shot. Of course, the other side fired back.

Bang bang bang bang

Peng peng peng

That caused Tun to go upstairs to take cover. The shooting from the other side caused the door and objects in the house to be heavily damaged. In a situation like this, all we could do was take cover to avoid being shot.

Then the gunfire stopped, giving me a chance to move and hide elsewhere. At the same time, the robbers came into the house. Seeing that, I had to clear my mind and think carefully about what to do. Then I remembered that I had one thing that could fight back - my own power. I had to risk using it to confront the enemy. So I moved stealthily to attack the robbers from behind.

As I quietly moved behind them, Tun appeared again. This time, he fired one well-aimed shot, taking down one of the robbers. This caused the robbers to open fire again towards Tun's position. Seeing that, I came out from my hiding spot and unleashed an electric blast at one of the robbers.

(Sound of unleashing lightning blast)!!!

"Argh!!!"

"Hey, what the hell was that?!"

"He's over there, shoot him!!!"

The robbers who saw me come out ordered their friend to shoot at me. Seeing that, I quickly took cover.

Bang bang bang bang!!!

Then Tun came out from cover and fired, but missed. This caused them to turn and shoot at Tun again.

"Three of you go deal with that sneaky bastard over there, while me and you go upstairs."

I heard what seemed to be the voice of the robbers' leader ordering them. Hearing that, I quickly changed hiding spots by quietly crawling to a room I had never entered in this mansion before. I slowly opened the door and went to hide inside. But the sound of the door slowly opening alerted the robbers pursuing me to my location, so they came rushing in. Startled and scared, I instinctively unleashed my electric power in a lightning bolt at the first robber who came rushing in.

(Sound of lightning bolt)!!!!

"Argh!!!"

When the other two saw their friend get hit, they aimed their guns at me and fired right away.

Bang bang bang!!!

I locked the door and backed away from it, only to find myself in a closed room with only small windows that I didn't know if I could open or not. So I tried to see if they could open, but it seemed they couldn't, like something was jammed. But hearing footsteps coming towards the door, and attempts to break it down, realizing I couldn't escape, I had no choice but to fight. So I gathered my courage, focused my mind and emotions, and summoned my powers instinctively.

I used my X-ray vision to see through the door and make sure my attack would hit its target. I concentrated my mind, thoughts and spirit, then unleashed the energy gathered in my hands as a straight lightning bolt through the door, striking the two robbers in front of it directly.

"Argh!!!"

After the robbers' cries of pain fell silent for a while, and seeing that my power had also destroyed the door, I was stunned at how powerful my abilities really were. But now I had to go help Tun urgently.

Now Tun is in trouble, I need to quickly deal with the two robbers upstairs to go help him. I'm now hiding around a corner on the second floor hallway of the mansion. I see two robbers coming my way, so I quickly check how many bullets I have left. Turns out I'm almost out, so I reload quickly. After reloading, I take aim and fire, confident I'll hit them both.

Bang bang bang!!!

The shots hit one of them, but the other was able to stop the bullets mid-air with his hand. Not expecting to encounter something so unbelievable again, I unload the remaining bullets at the robber who could block them.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!

But he manages to stop all the bullets in mid-air before dropping them to the floor simultaneously. Then he aims his gun back at me and fires immediately.

Bang bang bang bang!!!!

I quickly move away from this position, knowing I need to find more ammo since I'm out. I run to Prayun's room and frantically search for bullets, finding 3 rounds in a box. I'll have to remind him to keep the ammo organized if we survive this. But then I hear slow footsteps approaching the door, getting closer and closer. I hastily reload, accidentally dropping one round. The robber then opens the door and fires right away!!!

Bang!!!

But at that same moment, I was bending down to pick up the dropped round, narrowly avoiding the bullet. After fully reloading, I blindly fire one shot back.

Bang!!!

I don't know if I hit him or not, but I'm just trying to buy time for...I don't know what opportunity. But the enemy keeps firing to pin me down.

Bang bang bang bang

"Hey!!!"

Suddenly someone calls out, which is Arti's voice, followed by this sound:

(Lightning blast sound)!!!

"Argh!!!"

"Tun, are you alright?!"

After Arti's call, I come out from my hiding spot to find the robber pursuing me lying unconscious on the floor, and Arti standing by the doorway.

"I'm fine Arti, thank you."

As we're talking, the robber Arti attacked gets back up. Seeing that, I quickly aim and shoot him in the back.

Bang bang!!!

But surprisingly, the bullets don't seem to penetrate his clothes or flesh at all. Realizing my ammo is depleted again, I decide to try escaping with Arti.

"This guy must be using some kind of spell incantation, let me try."

As Arti says this, an incredible bolt of lightning emerges from his hand.

(Lightning blast sound)!!!

"Argh!!!"

The robber cries out in pain. When he does, Arti stops.

"Alright, let's get out of here."

I nod in agreement, and we flee the house, quickly getting into Arti's car. Once we get in, Arti asks:

"Where should we go?"

"Just drive, I'll guide you."

"Okay."

Vroom!!!!!

And we drive off, hoping Prayun won't reprimand us.

The next morning,

"What happened last night?!"

Tun and I could only look at each other, wondering how to explain, after we left Prayun's house. We went to the residence of Thep Phanthumatsen, or Phra Ya Songsuradet. Tun and I are sitting side by side, trying to figure out what happened.

Major General Phra Ya Songsuradet (August 12, 1892 - June 1, 1944), born Thep Phanthusmatsen, was a Thai artillery officer and one of the four leading military figures in the Siamese

In 1932, he was the mastermind behind the entire plan to seize power. When the plan succeeded, Phra Yor Songsurathes became the de facto supreme military leader. Later, he had a conflict with Phra Yor Phaholphonphayuhasena (Phot Phaholayothin) and resigned from the government, moving to Chiang Mai. He then joined with Phra Yor Manopakonnitithada in dissolving the parliament in 1933. Afterwards, he was a contender to become the next prime minister after Phot Phaholayothin, but lost to Luang Phibunsongkhram. He was also suspected of being behind the attempted overthrow of Luang Phibunsongkhram's government in the Phra Yor Songsurathes Rebellion, forcing him to flee into French Indochina where he eventually died in Phnom Penh.

"Don't criticize them, Mr. Prayun. You should be more concerned about their safety."

"I'm not criticizing, I just want to know what you all did to have the bandits raid my house," he asked angrily. The King could only shake his head at Mr. Prayun's words.

Asking us as if we know who the culprit is.

"Mr. Prayun speaks as if we know who the bandits are," I said in an displeased tone. Then Phra Yor spoke up.

"Ah! I know, Mr. Prayun, it's because you stole a beautiful woman from one of the high nobles. Out of anger and vengeance, they sent bandits to your house. Ha ha ha ha!"

"Wait a minute, Thep. Even though I am a womanizer, I didn't steal anyone else's woman," Mr. Prayun turned to Mr. Thep with an unhappy tone, while Mr. Thep smiled, pleased by Mr. Prayun's displeasure. Then Mr. Tula interjected.

"So what did the police say, Mr. Prayun? Do they have any leads on these bandit tigers?"

"Well...um...the police said it was the work of a gang of bandits who call themselves the Tigers, but they don't know which Tigers," Mr. Prayun's tone softened after answering Mr. Tula's question. Then I spoke up.

"The Tiger bandits were quite famous in my time, they even made movies about them. If we have any leads, we might be able to figure out which bandits raided Mr. Prayun's house."

"What do you mean you're from another time? And who are you anyway?" Mr. Thep asked with suspicion, seeming unhappy that I hadn't introduced myself from the start. But I turned to ask Mr. Prayun,

"Haven't you told them yet?"

"Told them what?"

Then we explained to them about me coming from the future and proved that I really was from the future. When they realized I was truly from the future, he came up to me with a demanding tone, grabbing both my arms.

"So you really are from the future? Did our great revolution succeed? What happened after that? What was the future we created like?!" Asking a barrage of questions like that, how could anyone answer? I pushed him away from me.

"Let me go."I shook him off.

"Calm down, Thep," Mr. Prayun came to restrain Mr. Thep to help me. Then I spoke up angrily, displeased with Mr. Thep's behavior.

"Listen to me, Thep. If I tell you about the future that will happen, you'll only hear about a future that may or may not occur. For safety reasons, I cannot reveal the future." After I said that, Thep bowed his head in acceptance and didn't pester me further. After we were silent for a while, Mr. Prayun spoke up.

"Oh yes, Atee and Tula, you two need to go give your statements to the police, so the three of us should go to the police station."

Tula and I nodded in understanding and followed Mr. Prayun. We went to the police station to give our statements. As we were about to tell the police we were there to give statements, suddenly a group of police officers walked up to us. They came and stood staring at us before speaking.

"Is this him?"

"Yes, that's him sir."

"Um...is there a problem, officer?" I asked with a slightly worried tone.

"You sir, you need to come with us."

"Why do I need to go with you?" I asked them for a reason, but they probably wouldn't tell me.

"We cannot tell you, and this is not a request." Okay, they really didn't tell me. After they finished speaking, they tried to apprehend me, but Mr. Prayun and Mr. Tula stepped in to shield me. Looking at each other, we all nodded in understanding, meaning - run!!!

So I immediately ran to escape the people trying to apprehend me, with Mr. Tula and Mr. Prayun stalling them. But before I could get into a car, someone grabbed me from behind and put a sack over my head. Again, hello!!! Then I realized I was being taken somewhere by car. Using my X-ray vision, I saw that I was being taken to the Grand Palace!!!

Earlier that same morning:

In the Privy Council chamber, around 5 people were meeting and discussing. The man at the head of the table spoke up,

"Have you all seen this morning's newspaper headlines?" The speaker was King Rama VII, Prajadhipok.

"I have seen it, Your Majesty. About the manifesto by the anonymous person, is it not?" Somdet Chaofa Kromma Phra Nakhon Sawan Woraphinit, one of the Privy Councilors, was the one who spoke.

"Correct. We wanted to ask, is this manifesto actually feasible? What do you think, Phraya Komarakulamontri?"

"I am not certain, Your Majesty. I would need to consult the experts first. But there is potential for it to help address the country's economic downturn."

Phraya Komarakulamontri was the one who spoke, as the Minister of Treasury and Assets.

"If so, should we then seek out this anonymous person and have them help provide another push in solving the problems?"

The man who spoke in a mild yet firm tone was Somdet Chaofa Kromma Phra Damrong Rachanubhap.

"But if this person is just an ordinary commoner, wouldn't others object?"

The man who spoke in a slightly plump tone was Phra Chao Phayanakhon Krom Phra Chanthaburinahurath.

"We say to have this person work for us first, then see what kind of person they are. If an ordinary commoner, we can revisit it then," Rama VII said to everyone in the room, and they all nodded in understanding.

Suddenly, a palace guard rushed into the room with a weary expression from running.

"My apologies, I beg your pardon Your Majesty. There is an urgent matter for you to be informed of."

His voice was breathless and tinged with exhaustion.

"What is it then? Hurry and tell me," Rama VII was the one who asked.

"The person we were searching for has been found, Your Majesty."
