EIGHT TARGETS
77. The Mystery of Aizen and Dios
In that room, lay a beautiful young man, but his body was thin and dry. A life support device from the hospital made it able to survive this long. In front of the young man, two young men and two young women were staring at him. The young man was none other than Dios, while the people who visited were Kaiser, Andika, Airi, and Agni.
Kaiser looked closely at Dios's face. Her memory overlaps with the events of some time ago when Wilda's eye color was exposed. He was comparing well the facial resemblance between Dios and the young man who revealed the secret of Wilda's eye color.
He is none other than Jey aka Marjono, an orphaned young man, a student of Padepokan Isnandar, who is also employed as a VIP visitor waitress in the bar owned by the Isnandar family, the place where the royal children of the Araka group used to hold their regular meetings.
“Hey, Andika, you still remember the waiter who delivered Ratih's small bag that had been left behind at the Araka Bar?”
“Oh, who picked up Wilda's eyepiece during the fall?”
“Yes, that guy. Don't you think he's a bit like Dios?”
Hearing Kaiser's comment, Andika then looked at Dios's face carefully. He narrowed his eyes and scanned Dios from the tip of his forehead to the tip of his chin back and forth.
“Hmm. How yes? If they are similar, they are similar. But aren't you the same, Kaiser?”
“I?”
“Yes. You are also very similar to the two of them. Is it possible because you three are both of Japanese descent huh?”
“Entahlah. They are both orphans whose identities of both their parents are unknown.”
Hearing their conversation, Airi was a little interested. He asked, too,
“Oh yes, Kaiser-kun. You haven't answered my previous question about the origin of you meeting with Dios.”
“Oh, about that. My memory is actually a bit vague. But according to the people in my house, Dios was taken by the butler of my previous house to be educated as a butler. After He died, custody of Dios fell to His younger brother, Mr. Sajiji, the butler of my present home.”
“Oooh. Then, where did He take Dios?” Ask Airi again curiously.
“He just said take it from one of the orphanages in Europe. In what part of Europe, unfortunately none of my family, nor the servants at that time knew, including his own brother, Mr. Sajiji. Apparently, He wants to keep it a secret.”
Kaiser paused for a moment before continuing,
“He is interested in adopting it because of its similar stature of Indonesians. You know, how bad is the treatment of orphans of non-european races on the continent right? That's why he said Mr. Saikoji took the initiative to adopt it.”
Kaiser then frowned. He continued to say, too,
“But well, after some thought, rather than the Indonesian race, he is more similar to the Japanese race right? Oh yes, that time if not wrong based on the stories of the servants, Mr. Saikoji went to Japan because asked by your father.”
“Otou-sama? Shinomiya Aizen?”
“Um.” Kaiser nodded at Airi's response.
“Why did Otou-sama even have his subordinate family servant, whereas Otou-sama has many reliable servants?”
“I also think it's a little weird. But since this is a direct order from your father, my family did not dare to investigate it further.”
“His rule is secret, even my own uncle does not know it. How about asking your father directly, Airi-san?”
Airi felt something suspicious. The same person that Aizen asked him to protect was from an orphanage that Mr. Saikoji had taken with him while carrying out orders from Aizen in Europe. What if from the beginning, the order was precisely to secure the child from the orphanage? What is Aizen's relationship with Dios?
Airi recalled that 16 years ago, two months after she was born, her father's first concubine also gave birth to her sister. But unfortunately, the Little Brother died during labor. So what if his sister did not die and was instead hidden in an orphanage by his father? If so, for what reason?
What would make it difficult for her father to accept her sister in the family? He recalled that it was a time when his father had to compete with his three uncles and an aunt for the position of the new head of the family to replace his grandfather where finally it was his father who finally obtained that position.
If so, the thing that would make his father willing to hide his son in the orphanage is the thing that will potentially prevent him from being elected as the head of the family, such as his son is disabled or does not have the talent of cultivation. However, Dios was not at all flawed and she had a knack for cultivation because, according to Kaiser, Dios was also a rainbow syndrome child with bright blue eyes.
Airi found no answer to her confusion.
“It seems, I should investigate it directly from Otou-sama when I get home. Let's postpone the identity of Dios.” Airi also said while exhaling a long breath.
“Who asked Dios' identity? Said Andika with a soft tone.
Unfortunately, Airi did not seem to pierce Andika's ridicule which made Andika become disappointed. However, all of a sudden, Andika felt something from behind pinching the back of her head quite loudly that made Andika to whimper. Andika looked back, but there was no one behind the four of them.
Andika was confused and finally just swept the sick part of her head in disappointment. Airi stuck her tongue out at Andika without knowing it.
The perpetrator who snapped Andika's head was none other than Airi by utilizing her poltergeist power that moved one of the dangling ribbons in her dress to snap Andika's head.
One unexpected thing, Airi's prank on Andika actually triggers something inside Andika's body to react. It was none other than the chakras that seemed to start living after interacting with Airi's chakra flow.
Yes, Andika is also a rainbow syndrome child with black eyes. Until now, no one has known that there are children with rainbow syndrome with black eye color characteristics.
The four of them finally left Dios' room after a while of visiting her. Without any of them realizing it, Dios' left forefinger showed a small movement.
Kaiser, Andika, Airi, and Agni walked down the hospital corridor until they reached the hall located in front of the elevator door. There they meet Danial, Kaiser's cousin.
Danial cheerfully while carrying her favorite rabbit doll opposite her big body, ran towards Kaiser. Once nearby, Danial immediately threw his large body into the fragile body of his cousin.
“Dek Kaiser is coming! Hehehehe.” Danial laughed with excitement as he hugged Kaiser tightly.
“Kaiser, isn't he Danial, your cousin?” Andika asked Kaiser who was next to her.
“Iya, right. Andika, you know her?”
“How not to know? When I was in 1st grade, she was quite popular with the girls in my class. Even many of them were to the point of comparing me to her about which muscular body was the sexiest among us. I also do not really care about things like that, but it was quite disturbing my daily life into the conversation of the girls.”
“Oh, you are popular among the girls?” Airi teased Andika with a smile mocking her.
“What? Any problem with that?” Reply Andika while glaring at Airi.
Danial, realizing that there were two new people near Kaiser, immediately hid his large body behind his little cousin's body.
