I WAS TRASH
The Part 53
After understanding what happened, Jessica and Verrel looked at each other.
"Lex, I'm sorry we were wrong. We thought you didn't care about us anymore. Jessica and I are not happy because they have been negative thinking with you," said Verrel with his shyness.
Alex's last shreds enjoy it slowly before he chimed in a statement from Verrel. He put his cup right on the base of the cup which is commonly called lepek in the area of east Java, Indonesia. "There is no need to be too shy or unkind. I'm a lot different than I used to be, but I'm still Alex, your best friend. You are my encouragement and the main reason I can still stand today, find my true identity."
Alex's words have left Jessica and Verrel speechless.
"Come on, don't be too shy. Cake to whom. Skuyy we hug like old times!" Alex stretches out his arms and invites them to embrace the same as when they were in High School. A time when life is in harmony, as it should be.
They let go after being satisfied to embrace and continue their long-overdue conversation.
"Ride, Lex. Said you had a mission in country G. What'sthat?" Jessica asked while vacuuming the fries in front of her.
"Military mission only. You know I'm from a military family. Of course, I must be present to carry out an important mission, replacing Father. After all, the whereabouts of Uncle Steve is still unknown. Grandpa is old too, he is a veteran" Alex replied.
"I don't really understand, but is it all done?" Ask Verrel.
"Hummmmd. Not a hundred percent yet, but it seems like there's no problem."
"By the way, do you want to come with me to the base that Dad built? I want to meet Uncle Louis and Uncle Jack."
"Can, can."
...*...*...
All the affairs and events of the party to celebrate Alex's return, they now head to the main headquarters of the Lachowicz family as requested by Alex.
Arriving there, they were warmly welcomed by the brothers from Alex and Louis and Jack who were always waiting for their return.
"Hi pal," said Aron. Aron and Louis and Nero and Jack cuddle for their greetings. Alex just shook his head to see those who seemed so happy when he met each other.
"Greetings to the young lord." Jack and Louis slightly lowered their heads as Alex walked inside silently without a word.
"Young master, is everything okay?" Ask Louis.
"Yes, as you can see" replied Alex.
"By the way, if you're all gathered here, I'd like to ask you a question. Answer seriously and according to what you think in your brain and heart. Don't feel forced or forced."
Alex warns them that in the future there will be no protests or bad remarks about Alex in the future. Alex also reduces the risk that no one in his membership will betray him given one of the members of the black-robed gang that houses Steve who can tell the whereabouts of Steve and his Master.
"What do you want to ask? Just ask" Louis said in Alex's statement.
"If I open a business, will you remain faithful beside me and work for me as I am today? Or did you choose to leave and not deal with me anymore?" Alex's question made them pause for a moment. Confused answering was a certainty, but their main confusion was what Alex meant.
"Wait, young master. I'm still trying to digest your words" Louis said.
"I will try to remain loyal to the young master, but it depends on what your goals are" replied Jack.
"What if I do something illegal? I mean, illegal businesses are clearly harming the state. Uncle Louis and Uncle Jack are military men, while Uncle Aron has been with Dad for so long. Your nationalism soul must be quite high. For Nero, I already know the exact answer. But what about you, Verrel, Jes?" Ask Alex one by one.
They were silent for quite a long time, staring at each other to their comrades-in-arms.
"I'm willing to follow the young master as long as it doesn't sacrifice innocent people" Aron said.
Now there are four of them who still look doubtful and afraid.
"Uhmmm. I think I'm with Uncle Aron. I will follow you no matter what your decision is. I'll support you as long as it doesn't involve a lot of innocent people" said Jessica, who still seemed a little hesitant. Verrel nodded in agreement, "We are bestie. We should be together." Verrel embraces Alex and Jessica together. Now, Alex is waiting for answers from Jack and Louis. It was a hard decision for them to choose.
"Hummmmd. I'm allowed to ask again" Louis said.
"Hum?"
"Why do you choose to do business illegally instead of legally? According to your department, you should be able to make a property business."
This is the question I am afraid of. I was really confused as to what to answer. Can't I say this is the mission of the system? After all, how do I make a lot of profit by running a legal business?~Inner Alex.
Ok, I think I have an idea.
"I'm not gonna involve innocent people, okay? I will not betray the country. I'm not gonna open it here. Besides, why don't you ask me what kind of business I want to open first" replied Alex, who tried to stay calm and composed.
"yes too. So what do you want to open?"
"The factory produces toxins and other harmful chemicals" Alex said.
"Did?!" Strangled the five of them at the same time. Nero had guessed Alex's plan from the start.
Tch, it was Nero who understood best what I had in mind,~Batin Alex.
"Wait, wait. The young master is an engineer and should be the young master dealing with everything that concerns the construction field. I think you're going to be a land mafia, just as viral as it is" Louis said.
"I've said that I won't involve innocent people. It could have been me, my family's wealth was also enough to buy some land and manipulate it. However, how do I know if they are good or evil?" answer Alex.
"yes too. So, what is the reason you chose it? Then, where did the young master learn the science of poison from? Isn't that more dangerous than being a land mafia? In fact, some poisons can kill some people around them who inhale it directly without any safety."
