Lady'S Gentleman
The Puppet Master

Sebastian sits in his study looking for the number of his best friend, Farid Al Farouq.

Companions...

Actually not really.

All this time they were friends with him for an advantage. That's at least what Sebastian thinks now.

They have been together since High School.

But when Sebastian's father, Hans Bataragunadi, almost went bankrupt because he decided he would not help the government, and Sebastian had to postpone his undergraduate program, as well as finance everything?

It is remembered in Sebastian's mind how Meilinda who was still in Elementary School cried because her stomach was sick of hunger, and her father boiled leaves and grass... Finally Sebastian had to steal food from the refrigerator in one of the luxury homes nearby.

Where were his friends at the time?

And that moment that helped her, was the man who had accidentally met her. He was arrested by police for stealing.

Baskara Beaufort was there.

Baskara himself was jailed for embezzlement in his company. It was his last day in prison after two years.

And it turns out that Baskara knew Hans Bataragunadi.

"Your father, too much involved." Sizzle Baskara as Sebastian tells him why he stole. "He couldn't break the link just like that just for family reasons. All the offspring should be involved automatically. His father stopped, his son continued. Clear?" sahut Baskara's.

"The current regime is encouraging him to kill someone. My father refused." Said Sebastian.

Baskara smiled. "But you can."

Sebastian slips. "I?!"

Baskara. "You are young, strong and educated.The more determined your father is by his principles, the worse your family will be. You don't want your sister to be a bum, do you? Moreover, she is beautiful, and it is definitely a struggle if she is forced to peddle herself in a brothel..."

"Shut up.." cut Sebastian. He was furious to hear Baskara's words.

He knew the end result but he did not want to hear it from someone else's mouth.

All this time it was his biggest fear.

To his father, he no longer wanted to know.

He hated his father who had starved Meilinda.

"I'll be out tomorrow, I'll make sure your sister is well fed, well educated. I also have a family, I know what it's like to have something to protect with all my might. But remember, this is indebtedness.."sahut Baskara.

Sebastian took a breath.

right now in his mind there was only Meilinda's face, smiling at him as he ate while saying "Believe Brother, I can eat good." when it was just an instant noodle that had almost expired.

"If the debt of gratitude that you mean is a debt of gratitude returned to life..."

Baskara was stunned to hear Sebastian's words.

"You're too far away, I'm not that kind of person. I don't need anyone else's life, I'm not an angel of death.." he said. Then the man leaned his body towards Sebastian. "I wasn't in jail for embezzlement, it was just common sense that they had someone to blame. The problem is that I've crossed the line, know too much about state affairs. Out of here I was required to arrange a new life, in another country. I haven't been able to come back here for a long time..."

Sebastian stood leaning against the cell wall while listening.

"I'll leave enough money for Hans' daily living expenses. Also working capital and enrolling your sister in school. I will pay the cost of his base money at once until he graduates. After that we will go to Paris.It is likely that my wife will give birth there. During that time, you will probably spend a few years here. My advice, learn really life in prison. Make friends with political crime inmates for your business relationship going forward, and stay away from inmates with sexual crimes and corruption, they are the real criminals. Approach Prisoners with petty theft and drug cases, their gangster network is usually extensive, they can be your men in the future, but even if you trust them. Design pawns as efficiently as possible for the benefit of your business. Listen to the advice of the kyai and the scholars, and befriend them. Keep your relationship with the Creator, the One who is the One who pushes back the heart of man. Do not be afraid of men, everywhere they are the same.The crimes they committed, were also done in the past in the days of the Prophets. But fear that man will cooperate with Satan, for at that time only God can help you."

"Then... Mr. Baskara wants me to do what?" ask Sebastian.

Baskara relaxed her body while sitting on her thin mattress.

"Build your father's efforts. Starting from convection, then to retail business, especially food. After that, even if there is only a small profit, build a computer and technology business. Try to profit above 500 million, do not be too high to save cash, invest in gold. The crisis will hit soon in this country, Taxes will be very expensive. That can survive only companies with enough turnover, but SME category companies. When it starts to stabilize, you can jor-joran invest in this country, contact all political acquaintances you know in prison. Then. contact my relationship at Saranjana"

"Saranjanana? Which country is that?"

Mr. Baskara smiled.

"When you can contact my relationship, you can just open a mining business. Then, after that you can sell spare parts and heavy equipment to their colleagues in Padang 12."

"Huh?"

"Now you probably won't understand. But they are your path to success faster. They can judge you trust in running a business or not. If you can maintain a good relationship with them, you can keep your business with other humans..." Baskara grinned.

At that time Sebastian could immediately judge what Baskara was like. This guy is full of mysteries. All his life is a secret.

"As a payment for information and financial aid, when my son grows up, you can work together for economic stability. Try after my death, my son can be friends with your confidant."

Sebastian breathed a sigh remembering his past.

By now Baskara Beaufort was dead, with many puzzles left behind, which only Sebastian and himself knew.

It was quite difficult to find Alex Beaufort, because the boy was always hiding from his father.

Is...

Did Baskara Beaufort know for a long time that she was going to die before she saw her son succeed?

From his words, he knew when he was going to die.

And what Sebastian heard from Alex, his father didn't want to see the success of the Beaufort Co. that Alex built, even hindering Alex's success.

Sebastian chuckles.

He laughed at Baskara.

"It's ridiculous Baskara.." murmured Sebastian. "But yeah, I'm also afraid that my son will continue this kind of business. I don't believe Trevor's safety will be guaranteed either. So the only people who should continue my kingdom are the ones who are good at kink, cunning, slippery, have high diplomacy power, and do not fear anything."

Then he threw his phone at the table. Seen there is a photo of Dimas Tanurahardja.

"I was going to meet Alex and Dimas after they were both successful, but fate turned out to say something else, they met sooner. Makes it easier for me to return the favor faster to Baskara Beaufort. Well.may you be calm in nature there Baskara, but I don't expect to meet him in the afterlife, anyway.." murmured Sebastian.

Then he contacted Farid Al Farouq.

"Yes!! Ahahaha! How are you doing? Healthy?!" yell Farid from across the phone.

"Hm...That's pretty. How is your uric acid? Don't mostly eat soto offal.." sis Sebastian.

"The next time we're together eating Konro Sop, okay?" Sahut Farid's. "So, what's wrong?"

"Si Trevor is still alone, it's getting old. How do you know Lena? She's still single, right?" said Sebastian.

*****

What do you want anyway?!

Milady angrily entered the luxury residential area of Darmawangsa.

What else did the white-haired Devil incur?!

And what about Milady?!

Jeez Sebastian is really plan-washy it turns out!!

Although there is a part of his heart that feels relieved because he did not have to participate in the family drama Bataragunadi, but he felt played.

Last week asked him to keep Trevor away from Ayumi.

Later that night Milady managed to make a photo of Trevor kissing his cheek.

Well, even with a little coercion... Sebastian did not know that there was Bram there, too, was grinning to see his and Trevor's behavior.

But that means he has fulfilled his duty well! Then now...

Someone is messing up the moment, making everything messy and badmood.

So after a few days of work with a disturbed mind, and because Trevor finally complicated himself, Bram also not eager to work, not yet Selena who cry when called because he fought with his father, not yet, selena almost escapes to Alaska to avoid an arranged marriage, so Milady on her own initiative asks Sebastian for confirmation.

Somehow the man could not be contacted these few days. The short message is also only read but not repaid.

Milady's phone wasn't picked up and they were supposed to video call Saturday.

The situation was also a little grim because Dimas fought with Meilinda. Looks like they broke up...

Selena said that the mastermind of all this is Meilinda. He is jealous of Selena and without knowing that Bram and Selena are getting married, Meilinda asks Sebastian to help keep Selena away from Dimas.

Meilinda does sometimes act using her emotions.

But nothing would have happened if Sebastian hadn't gone along!

Milady turned his car into the biggest house in the area.

A security came to him.

"Who's looking for Ma?" Ask.

"Sir Sebastian's home?"

"Mom have an appointment?"

"See, sir, don't go anywhere."

Milady picks up her phone and types some into Sebastian's short message.

"I'm in front of your house."

So typing.

"Sir, if Mr. Sebastian is not home, please notify Bu Meilinda or Mr. Hans. My name is Milady Adara." Milady gave up her ID.

Milady just handed over her ID card, the walkie talkie security was making a sound.

"Open gate. Mr. Sebastian's guest."

"okay." Desis Security's. "Let's mom..." Security handed back Milady's ID.

Milady got out of the car and approached Security. "If Ms. Meilinda is home too? I need to meet the two actually."

"Bu Meilinda just left, it looks like Arisan. Also asked Mr. Hans, ma'am, he's in Turkey." Mr Security's Lawful.

While Trevor was in the office, decided to keep busy because he did not want to see his father.

Milady sighed.

"The drama continues..." Milady.

Security who accidentally heard Milady muttering came grinning.

"Sst..." Milady's sizzle warned him. Then he stood up and looked at the entrance in front of him.

"The parking should be here sir? There's 50 yards up to the entrance..."

"Yeah... Many people complain so much, Mom. Later in the next visit hopefully mom can already park at the door. If I don't dare to allow it now..."

"Hm... If Dimas walks to the door, what do you wear?"

"Oh know Mas Dimas too? He used to borrow my bike, or ride a skate. That's skatenya..." Mr. Security pointed to the skateboard displayed on the shelf.

Milady couldn't use it.

Then he called Sebastian.

First ring...

Second ring...

If not, Milady will...

"Yes." Yeah." Say hello Sebastian.

Milady meloudspeaker her phone.

"Finally after a week you've had a snack, I picked up my phone." Syndicate Milady.

"Sudzon to you. Where the hell?"

"It... Seriously am I parking at the security post? Walk to the far entrance..." Moustache Milady.

The security people gathered to listen.

"You can park in front of the house."

"Hm... Full of your car. There's four parked out front..."

"Yes, Sapto just finished washing my car. Ask him to park... I'm in the study." Hisses.

And Milady hung up. The security looked stunned at him.

"What's wrong?" Ask Milady.

They grinned.

"No ma'am... Just this time we heard that someone could chat with Mr. Sebastian that leisurely. Mas Dimas was still a bit shy with Mr. Sebastian."

"Oh, maybe because I've known Mr. Sebastian for a long time."

Mr. Security nodded.

"Please ma'am, it looks like Mr. Sapto has marginalized one of the cars. I'll just give her the keys to her so she can valet."
