EIGHT TARGETS
39. The World Wanted to Be Reached by a Conglomerate Princess Named Ratih
In a room filled with glittering colorful lights, a grandfather seemed to be shaking glasses to brew a drink. As for the two maids in the room, it appeared to be serving the two guests who were visiting in the VIP room. Unlike usual, this time the two maids wore full-fledged clothes.
Jey, the Men's Maid, wore black cloth pants and a plain white shirt wrapped in a red sleeveless blazer and a bow tie that was also red. As for Linda, the Maid, wearing a red skirt and a trendy white shirt as a top with a purple ribbon that ties her hair in harmony with the color of her shoes.
On both sides of the table, two guests sat facing each other. The other is a regular visitor, Araka. The other was a visitor who did not usually step on the place and was probably the reason why this time the waiter was not half naked as usual. He is the Ratih.
“So, what need do you ask me to come here?” Said Ratih sarcastically to Araka.
“Wah, you're so haughty as always. What a nickname as the Ice Queen of male conquerors is perfect for you.” Said Araka trying to tease Ratih.
Ratih then hit the table tight to coincide when Jey put an alcoholic drink in front of him. So unexpected was the movement of Ratih, it made Araka jerked in shock.
“I order regular tea, not tea like this!” [3]
“Sorry Ma'am. I'll change soon.” Jey said, looking down and leaving immediately.
“Live on the topic, no need to talk.” Said Ratih while staring intently at Araka's face.
Araka was silent for a moment then leaned her large body on the back of the chair and let out a short sigh. He then sat back up straight and put his hands together on the table.
“I want you to investigate Kaiser. About anyone who has a grudge because of the bullying of Dios or people may be a fanatic with Kaiser so willing to do anything to be able to eliminate the lives of others.”
“But how is this? I also belong to the second type just mentioned by Senior.” Reply to Ratih with an evil smile.
“You're. I wonder what's wrong with all of you? Why has your generation known Kaiser since you all changed? Whether it's you, whether it's Fahrul. What the hell is going on? Why do you guys adore that boy so much?” Said Araka quietly by trying to maintain her calm.
“Hah, Senior already knows the answer. Showing power and oppressing the weak. Isn't that what Senior does? Just like you bullied Dios into a coma until now? What Senior thinks we expect such an environment. Senior Insecure! If one day one of us falls, you will definitely not hesitate to do the same to us. We are tired of such an environment. We want changes in the environment that can make us feel safe and secure. Therefore, when we get to know Kaiser and understand his idealism, then we do not hesitate to follow him. We all want to see what kind of world he wants to achieve.”
Hearing Ratih's reply, Araka bowed. She was smiling.
[Look at Kaiser. Now my followers are also mastered. Your charisma is absolutely incredible. I don't want to just hate you.]
“And do you think with the existence of that serial killer, it would be good for Kaiser?” Araka once again tried to persuade Ratih.
“Hah.” Ratih.
“I understand what senior wants to say. Without Senior asking for it, I have already investigated it. Of course this is all I do for Young Master Kaiser.” Answer Ratih with a slightly flushed face.
“This is the drink Mbak.” Jey once again came to interrupt their meeting.
“Oh yes. Thank you.” Reach out briefly without showing any expression to Jey.
Araka finally realized there was a slight awkwardness to Ratih's behavior in front of Jey. He who was curious then asked.
“Do you know that man? You're acting a little awkward in front of him.”
“Oh, Senior realized it?”
“Iya, highly visible.”
“Oh, mistake. I don't know him at all. I don't know why I feel like that guy is dangerous. You better be careful of him, too. I am confident about my feeling of feeling the aura of others. From there I also know that Young Master Kaiser does have a holy heart like his appearance, not as rumored.” [4]
“Of course.”
“Ah, I have followed you to call him Young Master. Ah, nevermind. More important than that, you said you were investigating it, so how did it go?”
“Tirta. I'm suspicious of Silva's toy. He established connections with the Japanese side moments before the murder case of Aleka and her family occurred.” Ratih said in a serious tone to Araka while advancing a little of his head closer to Araka.
“Tirta? He's making connections with the Japanese? Did he betray us?” Araka who was shocked to hear that, could not help but scream.
“Intelku said that it has nothing to do with our business. Therefore, I have not reported it to anyone.” Said Ratih as he slowly crammed while leaning on the back of the chair and closed his tired eyes for a moment.
“What problem should you ask?”
Hearing Araka's voice again, Ratih opened his eyes again. He then said, “Only the legality of the entry of the product. The Tirta family is very proficient in such matters.”
“Is that?”
Ratih again fixed his sitting position and sipped a tea drink in front of him.
He then put the half-empty glass back onto the table with a bit of roughness while saying, “Back to the topic. From that interaction, Tirta could have obtained resources in the form of professional killers to carry out the action. Especially considering that the Japanese side was from the Kanzaki Clan, it became possible.”
“Despite that, is that possible? He also hated Dios and he was not a fanatic of Kaiser at all. On the contrary, he hated it. And isn't he also one of the target actors?” Araka did not seem to believe in the words of Ratih.
“I also do not know for sure, so I ask Senior to investigate it further with the resources Senior has. And it was precisely because that fellow hated Young Master that he wanted to trap him like this.”
“Lantas why he did not just vent his hatred on him by killing the child directly, but instead sacrificed us who are his friends?”
“Is Senior sure he doesn't take revenge on the six of you?”
Hearing Ratih's words, Araka gasped in shock.
“From my point of view, he's enough to have a grudge. You always use him as an errand boy at every opportunity. You do not consider him a friend, but your messenger because of his status you look lower than you. You let him join your group, wasn't it just because you were looking at Silva? Have you ever been with him if Silva wasn't around?”
Hearing that, Araka just kept quiet. He tried to digest well every word of Ratih.
Ratih instantly had an anxious expression on his face. He said, “Then what I'm worried about is that the killer has eight assassination targets. The six of you plus the former Silva bodyguard lady were just then, isn't it only seven people? What if the last person to be targeted by a hit man hired by Tirta was Young Master?”
Ratih was finally unable to hold back his tears from flowing. Anywhere crying.
“We don't know yet that Tirta is the culprit. But fine! I'll have my men investigate it further.” Said Araka while patting Ratih's shoulder to calm her down.
“You're right, Senior.” Ratih tried hard.
[What I'm afraid is that the Japanese who were invited to communication by the Tirta family is a business rival of the family of the Young Master Grandfather. Hopefully, my concern is wrong because the Young Master's family also almost never interacts with the family of the grandfather of his mother's lineage. Young Master also just established a grandfather-grandchild relationship with his grandfather without ever being involved with the internal affairs of their family. So it was impossible for their business rivals to pay any attention to the Young Master.] Mumbles Ratih in the heart.
NB: [3] Ratih wanted to order regular black tea, but instead was given an alcoholic beverage whose name was tea
[4] Rumors have spread recently on the internet due to a dispute between Alicia and Ratih, in which many people who argue that people who look holy from the outside are without any defects, it usually has a very rotten heart inside. The rumor took Kaiser as one example of this
