Emilia's ears buzzed. But his instinct still ordered him to dodge before a shot hit him.
Riu is followed by Argantana. Had lost balance but also quickly snatched up the man.
"Miss."
"I'm fine." Emilia closed her bloody eyes.
Unfortunately that's not true. Emilia's right eye was badly injured by the blast. His chip-planted body sent a second-degree distress signal to Mahesa and Nine right now.
"You're playing like a coward." Emilia laughed a little. "You think it's all over just because I'm hurt?"
Emilia's body was pulled backwards. He saw Samuel pale.
"Emilia, you're hurt."
Emilia's ears are buzzing. He had too much headache to resist Samuel's hand pulling him, only breathing heavily as he trembled in first aid.
The whole world seems to be spinning. Emilia still heard gunshots, although not as loud as at the beginning. He doesn't know what's going on, he thinks about Argantana, he thinks about Rowan, he thinks about his parents, he thinks about Mutia and Darto who are gone.
"Emilia! Damn, the blood is coming out too much! Emilia!"
...*...
"Emilia's hurt."
Mahesa also saw it through her watch. A flickering yellow sign indicates Emilia was severely injured but did not harm her vital organs.
Mahesa rushed in, reaching where Emilia was.
"Give it to me."
The people behind Mahesa rushed to help. Blood came out from his eyes, likely a large shard from the explosion hitting it.
The echo of Emilia's screams was heard as Mahesa retracted the sides seen around her eyes.
"Relax, Emilia. Hold my hand. Okay well? Everything's fine."
Mahesa completed the treatment herself. Handing Emilia over to the Number she had deliberately brought in despite not interfering in tonight's affairs.
"Take him."
Mahesa looked around. I could see Samuel was missing.
No need to ask where the man is. Mahesh entered Argantana's room, finding Samuel plucking out her brother's eyeballs, which screamed behind the rope that tied her mouth.
It seems he can't be stopped. Mahesa decided to let him, began to order all his subordinates to spread out.
The massacre operation ended. Now the takeover operation.
"Where is Suryanata?"
"Samuel killed him."
Mahesh came out of Samuel's room torturing Argantana, down into the basement. There was no way he didn't know that Rangga Ahkam, Rowan Ahkam's cousin, was hiding there on Samuel's orders.
"I'll protect you."
Ranggawa stared at him blankly. "Uncle guarantees me."
"No. Samuel saved you for Emilia. He'll kill you to satisfy Emilia's will."
From the beginning, it seemed like Samuel was planning to kill Argantana himself. He therefore did not notify of any manual explosives attached under the Argantana table. He intended to make Rangga a form of apology.
"I'll guarantee your role. Samuel won't touch the man Emilia's protecting." Mahesa pulled a chair for him. "But on my terms."
Rangga thinned his lips, sighing repeatedly to calm himself from the turmoil of his heart.
He knew there was a massacre up there. His entire family is without exception. Of course this kid has a hard time thinking sane now.
"You don't think I know you're manipulating everything?" rangga Reply. "Rowan made many theories about Ema. Very much. One of them is about you."
Mahesa smiled a little. "I taught him, after all."
Although not as intelligent as the great Emilia under his hands or Samuel who built the organization with his help, Mahesa often met Rowan since he was a child.
Mahesa has always been attracted to intelligent children like Rowan.
"Tell me what you want, young man."
Rangga looked at the floor with a mind watching. "Rowan told me not to take revenge. But why do I have to understand everything?"
"Because Rowan understands why this is happening."
"What's? Because we did something wrong? Then Soraya who does nothing must also die?"
