EIGHT TARGETS
7. Retaliation Begins!

“Young Master?”

“You get off first.  I still need to visit it.”  Agni then bowed and immediately moved into the elevator.  Agni looked at Kaiser who slowly left her until the elevator door was closed.

Kaiser stepped into the room that read 808.

“Kreaaak!”  The door sounds open.

A young man who looked like Kaiser, but looked older as he looked out at the open door.  The young man looks quite unique.  Anyone who saw it could immediately guess that the young man was mentally different.

[Sih, he's still up apparently.]  Kaiser grunts in the heart.

“Sepupuku Kaiser!”  The young man with childish behavior that was incompatible with his age ran towards Kaiser and tried to hug him.

Kaiser swiftly repelled the embrace with a look of disdain.

“Stop Kak.”  Kaiser said in a furious tone.

Seeing Kaiser angry, the young man then sulked miserably.

“Excuse Brother, Kaiser Deck.  Surely you hate Big Brother so much that you will no longer allow Brother to hug you.  You also almost never visit me again.”  Said the young man.

Kaiser also tried to change his facial expression.  Kaiser, who is familiar with the behavior of his cousin, tried to equate the frequency with his childish behavior.  A slightly forced smile also appeared on Kaiser's face.  Kaiser then rubbed the head of the young man who was slightly taller than him.

“It's been night Brother. Let's sleep!”

“No want! If Big Brother is asleep, surely Adek Kaiser goes straight away.”  Said the young man while puffing his cheeks a sulking sign.

[Duh, this big boy.]  Kaiser grumbled inwardly for the second time.

He's Danial.  Kaiser's cousin who is a year older than him.  After witnessing a traumatic event when she was in 3rd grade of Junior High, she became mentally ill.  His behavior suddenly became like children.  He also became timid and often confined himself in the house.  He sometimes suddenly screamed hysterically for no reason so he had to be calmed down with a sedative.  He was especially afraid of seeing objects resembling long sticks.  He was also afraid to meet his parents.  But strangely, she felt calm near her cousin Kaiser's sister.

“Kaiser will accompany Brother tonight.  So calm down and sleep.”

“Appointment yes.”

“Iya, Kaiser promise Kak.”

“Alright, if Adek says so, Brother will sleep soon.”

Danial then closed his eyes to fall asleep.  Kaiser then sang a lullaby that the beauty of his voice was like the chant of Sang Lorerei on the South Beach version of a guy.  Not long after, Danial fell asleep.

Kaiser rubbed his cousin's deeply asleep forehead.

“This is all because of the stupidity of Brother befriending the wrong person.  My poor cousin brother, hang in there!  A little more, surely the condition will be even better.”  Kaiser pressed his forehead against his cousin's sister's forehead.  Tears that rushing can not be harbored behind the blue eyes like diamonds.  Kaiser let out tears in silence.  Only sobs are heard.

“Young Master.”

“Oh Agni.”

“Your eyes why redden?”

“Oh.”

“What exactly does Young Master do?”  Agni immediately walked over to Kaiser to further confirm Kaiser's condition.

“Nothing.  Yuk.”  Kaiser said while fending off Agni's hand that was about to touch her face with the elbow shield of her left hand protecting her face.

“Preaaaaak!”

Suddenly a car that was no stranger to them stopped right in front of them.  A man in his late 20s got out of the car and immediately lowered his head before Kaiser to pay his respects and slightly lowered his head to greet Agni who was with Kaiser to greet them.

“Pak Salman?  Why are you here?”  Ask Agni astonishment.

“Agni, you go home together with Mr. Salman.”

“But Young Master, why?”

“Well I just remembered a little bit of childhood.  I want to visit the field near our Kindergarten where we used to play a lot before going home.”

“But why suddenly?  And in the middle of the night?  In that case, I will also accompany Young Master.”

Kaiser was silent for a moment.  His expression turned sentimental.  He then said, “Sorry, Agni.  I want to be alone first at this time.”

“But it's already night.” Agni gazed deeply into Kaiser's eyes, but soon relented to Kaiser's eyes which seemed determined in bitterness.

“Alright if that's what Young Master wants.  Remember the HP is not turned off.  I'll contact Young Master every 10 minutes to ascertain your condition.”

“Good, well, then you also immediately return home together with Mr. Salman.”

Kaiser then encourages Agni and Mr. Salman to immediately enter the car.  They both got in the car and left the hospital.  Agni looked back.  He still looked worried about the condition of his young master.

“He will kill me...He will kill me..He will kill me!”  Said the young man.

Not long after, two cars marginalized the car to the left of the road opposite the direction where the young man was.  5 People dressed in black crossed the street and approached the young man.  One of them then reached into the phone in his pocket and made a call.

“We've found Mr. Aleka, Big Boss.”

“Good, immediately take him to the office.”  The voice of Mr. Widarno came from behind the phone.

“Good Big Boss.”

“Mr Aleka, come with us.”

“No, no, stop!  He's gonna kill me.  He's gonna kill me!  I'll be dead soon!” Aleka shouted and tried to escape from the grasp of the man who was dressed all in black.

Seeing suspicious behavior, the attention of the surrounding people so focused on them so that one of the mall security guard around the minimarket at that location came to them.  The men had difficulty explaining the circumstances, but in the end they were able to explain their identity and their Young Master's problem by showing their identity card and company card.

A frightened Aleka was led into a large room.  There was Aleka's father and mother sitting on a chair at the end of a long table with Sungsin Security employees standing around the room.

“He'll kill me.  He's gonna kill me.  Kaiser will kill me!”  Aleka said with trembling.  His right hand, unguarded by the bodyguards, scratched his right cheek so tightly that it bled.  Teeth popping.  His pupils looked wide.  He's very scared.

Seeing the condition of his son like that, a look of shock on the expression of both Aleka parents.

“Aleka, awake!  Since when did I have a cowardly son like you!”  Shouted Mr. Widarno trying to resuscitate Aleka.

“Kaiser will kill me.  Kaiser's gonna kill me.  Help me Dad, hide me so I can't find him.”  Aleka broke away from the guards' arms and then walked towards her father in tatters.

“Paaaak!”  But what greeted him was a loud slap from his father.

“Honey!”  Shouted Aleka's Mother.

“Hah, why can our child be like this?  Guards, what exactly has happened?”  Asked Mr. Widarno in an angry tone to his bodyguards.

“We also know less Big Boss.  It seems that this person named Kaiser is threatening Young Master Aleka.”

“So you want to say that that weak boy who looks like a kale withered that is not even 20 years old that makes Aleka into a sad state like this!  You know how I trained him myself in various kinds of martial arts.  Does it make sense that he could be bullied by a weak child like Kaiser?!”  Seriously, Mr. Widarno was angry with his bodyguards.

“Sweetie you calm down first.”  Aleka's mother tried to calm her husband.

“How can I calm down to see our son become like this?”  But it did not seem to calm him down.

The atmosphere in the room was gripping.  Thirty minutes later, Pak Widarno's assistant appeared to give a tablet to Mr. Widarno.  A CCTV recording sent by Silva's father, Leader of one of Indonesia's Largest Groups, Monjaya Group, Pak Sudarmin.

The footage shows Kaiser pressing Aleka down and stomping on her thigh and hitting the wall next to Aleka's head.

“That boy, how could he be weak like this.”  Said Mr. Widarno trying to calm down by rubbing his chin.

“Honey, anyway we have to take revenge on the boy.  I'll use my family's power to hire a hitman ninja from Japan to finish off the boy.”  Said Mr. Widarno's wife with determination.

Mr. Widarno lowered his head, trying to consider profit and loss if he did.

“Well, it's not that easy, baby.  After all, he is the favorite grandson of Lucias Dewantara.”

Mr. Widarno looked down pensively for a moment.

“Aaaah!”  Suddenly, the voice of Mr. Widarno's wife was heard.

Mr. Widarno raised his head and how surprised he saw a sword not too long had penetrated his wife's head from behind.

Guards soon circled Mr. Widarno and Aleka.  The assassin dressed in all-black clothes with a black face covering his entire head as well as a white mask that smiled savagely that only showed his eyes was walking at a moderate pace towards them.  Then in a few moments, the Assassin swiftly slashed one by one the necks of the guards.

The only two people still alive in the room were Mr. Widarno and his son Aleka.

“Please, please, at least, take my life.  Let the boy live.  Please” Mr. Widarno prostrates at the feet of the Killer to ask for forgiveness.

“Instead of expectation, you turned out to love your child more than your own life.”

[Learners voice?”]  Said Mr. Widarno in a shocked heart knowing that the killer was still at the age of about 20 years from his voice.

“If you really love your child, you should educate him well.”  The killer kicked Mr. Widarno until he rolled around, then he lifted Mr. Widarno who was on his back with his right hand and used the sword in his left hand to penetrate the heart of Pak Widarno.  Mr. Widarno was also killed in blood.

The assassin stared at Aleka with a sharp glare of eyes behind the pierrot-white mask he was wearing.  Aleka grimaced in fear, but she simply fell silent without trying to run away.  The killer slowly approached Aleka.

***

The next day, the media were fussed over the death of Mr. Widarno, his wife, and a child, along with the bodyguards at the scene.  And even more astonishingly, the bodies were arranged in such a way in the courtyard of the Sungsin Security office building to form an inscription that read,

RETALIATION BEGINS!

Even more terrifying was that placed as a point on the exclamation mark was the severed head of Aleka where her body was placed in the room in a crucified position on the wall. Under the corpse of the Aleka, there is a card Eight Spade that has a cross on one of the symbols of the space.
