Hello Brothers: The Prince of Twins
Chapter 11 of the Cold War

Ten minutes passed and they were still silent, staring at each other while drinking occasionally. There are many questions that Jack wants to ask, especially seeing the drastic change of Joyi, of course, he is very curious. But he did not have the courage to talk, if he thought again since long ago he did not have the courage to Joyi.

Although his status is a master but in his lifetime it was Joyi who took care of everything, even he also decided with whom he should marry after the departure of Jessa as well as company problems. Joyi often asked for opinions when she was in trouble, in the end, it was Joy's opinion that she used.

"For the first time, after all these years I devoted my life to Hermes. Finally we can sit together at the same table" said Joyi broke the silence between them.

"The status between us is so influential that even though what I do is the truth but you don't want to listen" he continued.

"Is this still about Jessa?" terka Jack's.

"It's about us Jack, if the fire of love in your eyes never existed then everything would never happen" Joyi replied with eyes hinting at the accusation.

"What do you mean?"

"Until when are you gonna pretend to be stupid? apparently the fire not only burned your eyes but also your brain, you easily forgot the great war incident caused by the stone of immortality"

"Enough! how long are you gonna blame Jessa? I'm expelling you because you've betrayed me, this has nothing to do with Jessa" Jack said.

Those eyes grew even sharper looking at a man who had long since become his soul, a cold gaze that pierced through the recesses.

"You never change, this is the reason behind all my actions. Remember Jack! the fire has burned your eyes, then your brain, slowly he will also burn your heart and all of Hermes" said Joyi slowly.

"Thank you for dinner."

Joyi went and left Jack who was still unable to speak.

"Lake in."

The door opened and saw manager San enter.

"Master, I've got what you're telling me" he said.

"Oh well, we're leaving now" Chad replied.

"Good" replied manager San with a slight bow of his head.

Chad walked first with manager San, they left the office by car. Some time later their car stops at a roadside house, the house looks magnificent with a beautiful garden despite the smaller size of the house Chad lives with his grandmother.

"Please sir" said manager San gave a key.

Chad took the key and first he opened the gate, they got back in the car and went through the park. Manager San parked the car right on the doorstep so Chad wouldn't have to walk far.

With the key given by the manager of San Chad also opened the door of the house, the first sight he saw was the living room with a modern classic style.

He walked in and began to look around, the house had four rooms with bathrooms in each room. One kitchen, one workspace, one living room and a relaxing area. There are also swimming pools and fish ponds that spoil the eyes, from Chad's expression looks he is happy.

"Did you like it?" ask manager San.

"Yes, take care of the letters" Chad replied.

"Good sir"

"Then let's go back to the office" Chad said walking first.

Hhhhhhhhh

"I never understood the rich man's way of thinking, even though Mr. Chad already had a luxury home but he still bought another house. With her busy schedule how could she stay in this house?" muttered manager San of course after his master left.

Chad returned to the office and found his grandmother was already there, he was quite surprised because in view of his clothes looks like his grandmother had finished traveling.

"Where are you from?" ask Joyi.

"Oh, I had a little business earlier"

"Well, have you eaten?"

"Oh, what about grandma?"

"You don't have to worry about grandma, Chad there's something you want to talk to about"

"Alright" Chad sat down.

"Your new project is now almost finished, you have to start finding out more about the project in the Hermes group. Anyway, the steps we have taken must not be missteps let alone mudur, this is the only way to repay them"

"I know, grandma doesn't have to worry. For the food poisoning incident and the project's failure, they now need media power to restore the situation"

"You've arranged everything?"

"Of course, I've taken care of the media people they're going to hire" Chad replied confidently.

"Good, you're a smart granddaughter" said Joyi.

'Prepare Jack, the game has just begun' Inner Joyi.

"This is the most important event, I hope you try harder" Shigima said.

After a long break for Hans to return to work again, they got the idea to do an interview. On this occasion Hans was in charge of promoting their hotel, with various promos that they would give Shigima hoping that everything would go smoothly.

From that day on almost all the overtime staff to prepare everything, from banners and flower arrangements. The reporters would stay for a full day in order to feel the service provided by the hotel, therefore all worked hard until the day the reporters arrived.

Their arrival was immediately welcomed by Hans himself, with his tension hidden he smiled widely and directed the reporters to enter the lobby.

They were given ordinary rooms but the service was still good, there were many servants who were on standby and brought their belongings into the room.

So far everything is safely under control, Hans let the reporters rest first until noon grave time. Learning from his own mistakes Hans checked the food that would be given to the reporters.

Finally Hans was able to breathe a sigh of relief as he rested in his office, his hope re-emerged to see all his plans go smoothly. But apparently it only applies for a while, as he goes around to control the work of his men he finds a problem.

One of the reporters was visibly angry at the waiter at the door of his room, with Hans quickly running to find out what was happening.

"Sorry sir, what happened?"

"Ah Mr. Hans, look what your servant did! I told him to clean my room but he broke my camera" he replied, pointing out the destroyed camera.

Hans immediately stared intently at the servant who did not have the courage to raise his head.

"How did this happen?" ask Hans.

"Sorry sir, I accidentally nudged him and his camera fell" replied the waiter terrified.

Hans was only able to sigh, an accident was indeed inevitable. He wanted to revile his servant, but he knew it would not fix the problem.

"I don't care what you do to that waitress, but this camera can't be fixed. You yourself know this camera is very important for your interview later" the reporter replied.

"I understand, I'm sorry for this incident. I will try my best so please rest while waiting for your camera to be ready"

"Alright, this time I forgive you but remember you have to change my camera quickly"

"Okay, once again I'm sorry" Hans replied lowered his head.

After the reporter returned to his room he hurried to tell his subordinates to take care of this, while the servant who made the mistake was stopped for a while.

For Hans this matter was already big enough to make his heart unsettled again, Shigima who heard this news quickly came to the office and met her son.

"Hans, have you solved this?" ask Shigima.

"It's dad, I just gave a new camera to the reporter and apologized again" Hans replied with a worried expression that he couldn't cover up.

"Good, that way everything's done"

"No dad, I don't know why I feel like something bad is going to happen"

"You can't talk like that, think positive so you don't make mistakes"

"I know dad, it's just... "

"Here you go, what if we had coffee so you could relax" Shigima asked.

Hans nodded even though his body felt lethargic.

To the bartender who was there Shigima ordered his favorite black coffee while Hans chose civet coffee, they talked lightly so that Hans was not too tense.

But an uproar caught their attention and even made Hans' worries even more so.

"Sir, sir, there's a problem!" said a servant who ran up to them.

"What's wrong? speak slowly" said Shigima.

"Guests in room 304 jumped off the balcony, now his body is still in the parking area"

"What?" hans shouted in shock.

For a moment they looked at each other to then run to the parking lot, it appeared there were already many people crowded. Among them were also guest reporters who took pictures and some servants who were waiting for their arrival.

Hans quickly entered the crowd and saw the bloodied corpse of a man lying face down.

"Servant! quickly call an ambulance and the others take the sheets to cover his body" Shigima ordered.

"Good!" answer the servants who were there.

"Please everyone step back, please don't get too close" Shigima shouted commanding the spectators as Hans could only be fixated on staring at the corpse.

His soul was shaken enough to be unable to get through anything other than dumbbells, until Shigima resuscitated him and took him to another place.

Minutes later ambulances and police arrived to secure the scene, after the body was taken to the hospital police officers immediately conducted a TKP and asked for information from witnesses and some servants.

"You okay?" shigima asked towards Hans who was still sitting pensively.

"Yes dad, I've been feeling better" he replied slowly.

Shigima gave Hans a bottle of water to calm down, after various problems were now faced by such a terrible incident, Shigima realized that Hans' soul had been shaken violently. Worries were evident in Shigima's eyes looking at his son, fearing that Hans would be depressed by it.

"I'm a son of a father, but I'm not Shigima Hermes" Hans stared blankly.

"Dad was so quick to respond, even though there was a corpse in front of his eyes but he was able to think clearly and take the right steps. While I can only be silent like a statue" he continued.

"Anybody would be shaken because of that, I'm not as good as you think. If one body of the father is still able, but if there are thousands of bodies in front of the eyes of the father is sure the knee of the father will tremble. If you were stronger, maybe your aunt would take you to the war" Shigima recalls.

"What do you mean, dad?" hans asked clearly not understanding.

"Hans, you know our family history, you know you're a witch, too, you know a great war has taken place but one thing you don't know is your aunt the man behind the war's victory"

"My aunt?"

"Yes... She is the only descendant of Hermes who is the most powerful even capable of killing vampire queens, she is the most powerful" Shigima replied.

Hans was fixated, he knew everything about the Hermes family history but never heard of Anna. It was quite confusing because if indeed her aunt was a hero her statue should be in the achievement room in the Academy, where heroes exist.

"Dad, why has no one ever offended him either at home or at the Academy?"

"There's a reason for that, all you need to know is that I'm not as good as you think. Now calm your mind as soon as we do the interview" Shigima replied.

At the Joyi residence, Chad and manager San have gathered with Joyi in the family room. They sat quietly ready to watch the news that would feature a live interview with the CEO of the Hermes group.

From the television screen they could see Hans and the hotel director sitting facing the reporters. The event was official in the title after Hans said a welcome word and a question and answer session was started.

"Sir Hans, some time ago there was a quite terrible incident. Can you tell me exactly what happened? why would a man fall off the balcony?" ask a reporter.

"Before answering me as the CEO apologized for his inconvenience, this incident happened beyond anyone's will. For now the police are still investigating so I don't know exactly what happened"

"Then what about the guests who left because they were uncomfortable over this incident? what did you do to them?"

"The guests have the right to choose whether to stay or not, I cannot possibly force them if it is inconvenient"

"I heard the man fell because he slipped, wasn't that a hotel mistake?"

"I reiterate once again that the police are still investigating, it means that the cause of this incident is not yet known" Hans replied.

"What about my camera being damaged by the waiter's carelessness here?" shouted a journalist.

All the moving cameras showed the face of the journalist who asked the question, causing tension in Hans.

"Um, I'm sorry about that. To make amends I've given you a new camera" Hans replied cautiously.

"That's true, but will you forever compensate for the mistakes your waiter made? some time ago there was even food poisoning at this hotel, how could guests feel at ease if a major incident continued to happen!" said the reporter.

"How do you respond to this?"

"What is the cause of food poisoning? can you explain?"

"Can you guarantee the hotel is safe for guests?"

There were still many questions asked by the reporters, but Hans could not answer them in the slightest. His eyes could not focus on the cold sweat on his forehead, while on the other side Joyi seemed happy to watch the show.
