Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 90

...Time Berlaga...

           Today at a sports arena. National selection of athletes in the field of karate. The roar of the audience mingled into one. They cheered to welcome the match that day. Especially want to watch the action of the Genius Child. Who else if not Long An, Karateka Genius from the East. Long An looked like he was getting ready. He wore a karateka shirt made by his own mother. Long An wrapped his black belt around his stomach while looking at the mirror in front of him. His narrow eyes look sharp.

           Mama, even though she's no longer with me. Help me, give your affection to me because the strength of a child lies in the affection of his mother, Long An said in his heart. Then kissed the Lotus flower pendant that belonged to his mother that he was now wearing.

           Not long after, Ravindra came to his son.

           “Papa..” greet Long An with a small smile on the corner of his lips.

           Ravindra smiled back. He then stroked his son's head.

           “Papa will always support you. Stay focused and make your mama proud.” said Ravindra encouraging her son.

           Long An nodded confidently. Today is no longer a time for sadness. I want my mother there happy. As Long An conversed with Ravindra, a cheerful greeting sounded. Who else if not the twins and Mrs Meri.

           “Yuhuu Long An.” greet the three people with a cheerful twinkle.

           Long An smiled back. Madam Meri directly patted Long An on the shoulder.

           “Bu Meri will always support you. So excited. You will definitely pass the selection.”

           “An, do not lose.” said Meichan encouraging.

           “True, you definitely won.” timpal Chanmei.

           Long An was truly grateful to have such good friends as the twins and also Lady Meri.

           “You can also definitely pass.” Long An's turn gives spirit.

           “If only, my best friend Irene was here. It will definitely be very fun.” said Mrs Meri looked sad.

           Long An smiled, “mama will always be here.” An said while pointing at his chest. Indicates that Irene will always be in Long An's heart.

           “An, it's time for you to compete.” said Ravindra after Long An spoke with Mrs Meri.

           Not long after, An was already standing at the arena of the match. This time it was Alex. Apparently Alex has been training hard, because he wants to beat his competitors. Alex smiled sinisterly at Long An.

           “This time I will definitely beat you.” Alex told Long An.

          “Do it if you can.” reply An with a sharp look.

           The cheers of the audience rang out. They supported and confused Long An's name.

           “An! An's! An's! The Karateka Genius of the East!” shouted the audience.

           While Ravindra and Mr. Marvin look from the VIP bench. They hope that Long An can win the game and qualify to become a National junior athlete. The referee is ready at his place. Then give instructions to Alex and Long An. After that, the sound of the match began.

           Ting!

           “Osh” said the two children as a sign of mutual respect.

           Long An prepared with a heavy rear horse called Neko Ashi Dachi. And so is Alex. Both are focused on this match. Alex confidently attacked Long An with a twisting kick. Long An was alert and immediately repelled with Juji Uke a stalk with both hands crossed. Long An's eyes looked wide. He did not expect Alex to be able to handle the technique of twisting kicks. An acknowledges Alex's ability to rise significantly. Then An backed off a little. Keep your distance from Alex. Alex smiled cynically.

           “Are you surprised? I can already kick around? This time I believe I can beat you.” Alex said confidently.

           Long An tried to regulate his breathing. Remembering all Alex's moves in order to counter-attack. Alex is not wasting time. He again attacked Long An with a kick to the stomach called Mae Geri. Long An was alert and retreated his steps. But Alex is now different from the old Alex. His movements are getting more agile. When I found out Long An was retreating. Alex immediately attacked with a punch Yama Zuki is a mounting blow or double punch with both hands.

           Buk!

           The punch hit Long An's body. An unexpected, Alex's movement is getting faster. Point for Alex. Alex smiled triumphantly. As if he was sure of defeating Long An. He stood up and adjusted his breath. He has to focus. Ravindra and Mr. Marvin who were on the bench began to feel anxious about the state of An. However, the boy still felt the sadness of losing his mother. The twins and Mrs Meri were also worried. They continued to cheer encouragingly on Little Long An.

           An who was in the match ring took a breath. He did not expect Alex to experience this good development. Maybe when An was busy with business looking for his mother. Alex is training hard. The referee again gave a warning that the match began. Long An attempted to attack first. He can't miss Alex's point. An attack with Morote Zuki is a blow and a push. But without An guessing, Alex is able to fend off Long An's attack and instead counterattack right to the stomach called Gyaku Zuki.

           Buk!

           “Arghttt!” long An's moan felt Alex's punch. An fell down because of the hard blow he received from Alex.

           “Ouhhh!” the audience stood up to see An fall.

           Ravindra who saw this was worried about An's condition. But he did not know how to help his son.

           “An!!” shouted Madam Meri and the twins trying to encourage Long An.

The audience now turns around to name Alex. Alex smiled cynically. He really felt above the wind because he could attack An by a landslide. Long An tried to stand up while holding his stomach.

The referee started the match again. Long An who had lost his spirit from remembering his mother. Can no longer concentrate. Alex saw an opportunity. When the match starts. He immediately jumped up and gave a twisting kick.

*bruak*!

The twisting kick hit Long An's left cheek. The kick was hard enough to make An fall immediately. Ravindra who saw this immediately stood up and ran towards the arena of the match. He was very worried about his son. The audience was silent to witness something beyond their expectations. They felt Long An's movements were not as usual. An is still lying. His heart was sad again. Suddenly he missed his mother.

*Mama... Where is your mom? An misses mama* so much, Long An said in his heart.

The worried Ravindra immediately ran towards the arena of the match. Just as Rava approached the arena. Suddenly on a large screen that was to broadcast the match, appeared a picture of someone. A straight long haired woman was smiling. The audience was shocked because the large screen in front of them showed a picture of someone.

“Irene?!!” pekik Mistress Meri's.

The twins eyes glared in disbelief as what they saw was Long An's mother. Ravindra was running. Hearing the voice of Mistress Meri who was loud enough to call out Irene's name. Instantly stop his steps. Look at the big screen in front of him. As Ravindra's eyes stared at the screen. He saw Irene's face so big she was smiling. No doubt it makes Ravindra surprised half to death.

“Rene…. Irene?!” Rava could not believe Irene appeared in front of the screen. Didn't the police find human ashes in the exploding ship and Irene's locket yesterday?

Irene smiled and spoke slowly.

“My little dragon ... Long An. Mama is here.” said Irene who was on the screen.

Long An was still lying. He got up and stared at the screen. He could not believe he could see his mother.

“My son... are you okay? my mom will always support you. Do your best. Mama will channel the power of affection to you because.”.

“The strength of a child comes from the affection of his mother.” Long An said continuing the words Irene who was on the screen. It was as if the two were talking to each other.

“Mama loves you my son. Let's fight together and fly as high as possible. Achieve your dreams and be the pride of this country.” Irene said with a warm smile. A mother's smile of love.

After seeing his mother on the screen. Long An's determination was back on fire. His hands clenched tightly. He looked at Alex with a sharp look. Long An had now found the spirit to fight back. Alex saw this grievously. He must be vigilant. If Long An finds his spirit back. Then it could have reversed the situation and put all of its abilities into action. While Ravindra who saw Irene on the screen immediately rushed out of the arena.

“Rene…. Is... are you still alive?” ask Rava to himself. While running towards the control room, because all access displays images are all controlled from there. So, Ravindra has to go to the control room and make sure of himself. Is that right, Irene is still alive.

Inevitably, the broadcast of the match was also witnessed by Rosalind and Liam. They watched from the TV broadcast. Both were shocked to death. Didn't expect to see Irene on the broadcast. How could? Didn't the police announce that they found human ashes in the exploding ship?

“Cannot be!!! there is no way that woman is still alive!!!” rosalind shouted with anger.
