EIGHT TARGETS

EIGHT TARGETS
38. A Quick Punishment


“You were hired to take care of my mother's needs.  It's only natural that you clean up all the mess he did.  But what is this?  Is this the treatment of a professional caregiver to his care?  Roughly, what would the Lu family do if it learned of his men's actions like this?”  Said Araka to the Nanny while expressing evil.  His black eyes looked at the Nanny as if he were looking at a caterpillar, full of contempt and disgust.


“Mr Araka.  Im sorry.  Forgive Me!  I promise I won't repeat all this.  Please don't report this to the Big Lord.”  Said the Nanny, hugging Araka's feet to ask for forgiveness.


Araka immediately swung her kick at the Nanny.  The Nanny then fell rolling over and hit the wall.  Araka then reached him by pulling his collar.  Without sympathy Araka immediately threw him out of the door of the house.


“Never show your face here again.  Guards, beat him to a disability!”  Araka then called the guards who had been escorting her to teach a lesson to the Babysitter who did not know himself.


“Master Araka!  Please forgive me.  Aaaakkh!”


The guards began to beat up the Nanny without mercy.  Araka's mother who peeked inside until sweating in fear.  Araka who saw her mother like that immediately closed the door and held her mother in a warm embrace.


“Tidak nothing Ma'am.  Next time someone does something bad to you, report it to Araka immediately.  Araka will definitely protect Mom.”  Said Araka while gently stroking her mother's back.”


“My son, please forgive his nanny.  Poor him.  Please, don't act like your father.  Come back to being a good boy.”  Said Araka's mother while shedding tears in Araka's arms.


[Mother, lowly people if not warned, then they will not be conscious in their place and will go forth.  This method is rough, but it is the most powerful way to overcome lowly people like them.  If we don't do it, when we get the chance, they're the ones who'll drag us down with them.  But take it easy ma'am because there's Araka here.  I won't let anyone hurt Mom.]  Araka just said in her heart without revealing it directly to her mother.  He just kept wiping his fragile mother's back.

That night, an unexpected event occurred.  Who would have thought that the police academy students who were taking Officer Dono to Araka's class would record the debate between Ratih and Alicia and spread it on the internet.


The flow of talk on the internet seems to tend to support Alicia even though it is clearly her actions that are wrong because she wants to trap Kaiser.  However, netizens tend to blame the actions of Ratih and friends who look bullying and corner Alicia in front of many people.  There is even an opinion on the internet that Kaiser has put together a force in the school to master it and anyone who does not follow him will be compromised as well as what happened to Alicia now.


There are also old rumors that once again spread that it was Kaiser who had killed Aleka and Rihana by hiring a hitman using the power of his family and the families of the people who had been under his control in school.  However, the motives that spread this time are very different where it is rumored that the Kaiser is very thirsty for power.  Due to Kaiser's failure to master his former school because of Araka and his friends, Kaiser is rumored to want to kill the people who had made him fail at that time.


Kaiser was even rumored not to continue his High School at Puncak Bakti High School and instead moved to a new school, Angkasa Jaya High School, to reorganize the force by which he brought his under-influenced followers to the new school with him.  This can be seen from the move of Andika, Ratih, Mirna, and several others with him from Puncak Bakti Junior High School to Angkasa Jaya High School.


What an absurd story like gossip, the more rubbed the sip.


Triiiing.”  The phone ringing sounds.


Ratih who was still at his desk read through the news through his laptop, then picked up his phone.


“Halo, Train.  You already know the rumors on the internet, right?”


“Iya, Mirna.  This is now I'm reading.”


“Lantas what should we do?”


“Take it easy.  Give me some time to take care of it by myself right now.  When I need your help and other friends, I'll report it immediately through our community forum.”


“Iya Cin, just relax.”  Said Ratih smiling and then immediately hung up the phone and continued reading the news.


[I hope Young Master isn't too burdened by these scum news.  I have to deal with it immediately.]  Mumbles Ratih in the heart.

The next day in the afternoon after school, Kaiser swiftly slipped out of Andika's sight and left the school through a side gate behind the IPA Children's Class building.


Kaiser wore a black hat to cover his face.  He then booked an online motorcycle taxi to a public shopping mall near Zion's house.  Arriving there, Kaiser pulled out a novel in his bag titled “The Linked Killer Volume 14”.  He opened each sheet of the contents of the novel while reading it while walking in the crowd of the atmosphere of a public shopping center.


Unexpectedly, a mysterious figure wearing a black leather jacket, beige jeans, and a white hat approached him while touching his shoulder.


“Hai, what are you doing here?  On a walk?”


Kaiser turned towards the voice.  His expression instantly changed clarifying his dislike for that person.  He's Officer Dono.


Dono instantly observed the novel that Kaiser was holding.


“Wah, the title is really interesting.  Do you like things like that?”  Dono said with a cynical smile.


“Of course.  I wouldn't read it if I didn't like.”  Kaiser replied briefly while still showing an expression of his dislike towards the person who was invitingly chatting with him.


“You are also interested in practicing it?”  Again Dono asked his question.


Kaiser immediately closed the novel to the point of loudly listening to the sound of paper colliding with the other paper.  He breathed a long breath.


“Haaaah.  Mr Police, don't you think that I read this novel because I admire a serial killer?”  Kaiser said as he stared directly at Dono's eyes.


Dono.  Kaiser then continued his words.


“Listen yes.  What I love about this novel is that in the end evil will be defeated by good.  No matter how clever the criminal is, the main character will eventually uncover his crimes and give a proper reply to the criminal, the serial killer.  Unlike today, the power of the law is too weak.  You certainly still remember the case of serial killers under the guise of shamans initialed A.N.  So, what punishment did the court drop on him?  He was convicted of suffering from a mental disorder and was admitted to a mental hospital.  Wasn't that unfair to the 49 victims he had killed?  Didn't you think he was just pretending to be crazy to avoid punishment?  Shouldn't he just be sentenced to death?”


Dono was silent for a moment before commenting, “So you think the main character who killed the culprit is much better than the court's decision?”


Kaiser looked at Dono's face with an expression as if saying ‘what did this person say?’.  He also replied, “In which direction are you talking?  It seems that you have not read this novel.


Kaiser turned and left Dono.


“I recommend that police like you should read this novel so that your mind can be a little open.”  He said as he floated the novel up through his left hand as he walked into a bookstore.
