Prisoner of the Mafia
CH-4
The scorching rays of the sun this afternoon did not dampen the spirit of a Lucia, looking for a new place to scavenge fortune. Door by door he knocked but none of them were willing to open. Already he equipped himself with various paper magic, tertoreh various awards and achievements when working in the old place, but all that seems to be meaningless. They refused without giving her a chance to introduce herself.
From all the places he went, their rejection was very similar and even fairly the same. Of course this invites Lucia's suspicion to the man she has twice rejected her will. Especially because of his victory last night which certainly makes Javier Luz feel humiliated. A person who lives with power seems sure to do anything for the sake of victory and avenge defeat. Including him who never got a job, even though there were so many who wanted Lucia to join.
“Aaaa..this must have been Javier”'s bastard shouted Lucia at the end of the lake near the city park. Dare his mouth speak as if this world was inhabited only by him. Not afraid of others who hear and pass it on to the man.
Powerful saved the thick document that he has brought around half today “Sial!! Why should I meet him, Lord! Don't know my life has been so hard and now it's getting worse!”
Closely closed both eyes held tightness in his chest, the flashback of his never-lucky life began to spin. It feels like there are always new problems that arise every day, even when he grows up. The figure that always looks strong also has a hard attitude, in fact it is so fragile when hit by a lot of weight.
“Why didn't I get a chance to enjoy my life?! Why always me? Why not someone else?! Why do my burdens continue to be added even though I am trying hard to reduce them?!” Lucia said with regret. Lamenting that his fate is getting worse. Is it not enough to lose his mother and the painful life he has been through? Why should there be a grievous story every day?
Dead, the word has been embedded long ago and almost happened but not until. Ellio, the name that always manages to make all his madness to the world stop. Only the name of the sister who was able to make Lucia fully aware was the reason behind Lucia's mental strength and body. There was no way he would leave the younger brother who was fighting hard against his destiny alone. Ellio, he is the answer to the question of why Lucia is still alive and struggling to this point.
“Doctor Rey?” The name appeared on his phone screen, like a coincidence when the name of the younger brother suddenly rotated in his memory.
His hand slowly rose, wiping away the remaining tears at the end of his cheek. His cry was silent in a matter of seconds, replaced with a feeling of uneasiness every doctor or hospital contacted him.
“Hallo dok”
📞: Oh Hello Lucia, sorry to bother you
“Say what's up doc?” Urge Lucia, as if understanding the sentence said by the doctor.
📞: Come now and I'll explain here
“Hhmm.”
No need to ask any deeper, Lucia already knew that something bad was happening to her sister. With a lightning-fast motion, he left the lake for the hospital a short distance away.

THE LUZ CORE COMPANY'S
Sitting dashingly authoritative Javier on his great chair, busy index finger and middle finger doing Pen Spinner. His eyes looked sharply straight ahead, focused on hearing the report from the secretary.
But the next second he raised his hand, gesturing for Miguel to stop. The focus is distracted by the noise of the figure of the man sitting quietly at the end there, playing the game without fear of being scolded by the boss.
“Kels..” call Javier briefly, somehow he remembered something and it was related to this man.
“Ya sir..” casual-relaxed man with blonde hair replied without intending to take his eyes off the phone screen. He is Kels Alexus, one of the best people Javier has. He is the younger brother of the genius Miguel who has different traits and personality but the exact same intelligence. Men are relaxed with unexpected movements, so no way the enemy considers it so trivial.
“Have you got that information?” One question from Javier was able to make Kels shift his focus for a moment, even if only two seconds.
“He's an orphan but has a stepfather who looks like an asshole, you must know that's sir. Cckk shit!” He had cursed violently on the sidelines to convey his report and Javier did not discuss it. It is very common with Kels' attitude like this.
“Kels..” this time is not Javier, but Miguel who gave a warning to his sister. Many times he has reminded of his attitude to be more polite to Javier.
“In addition to having a stepfather, he still has a stepbrother who is lying limp in the bed of one of your hospitals” continued Kels, this time really serious.
Javier raises one eyebrow “My hospital?”
Kels nodded “Hhmm, and now the man is critical for not getting the handling of”
“More details!” Pinta Javier, I don't know why this sounds exciting and would be fun. Shit, is luck going to side with him again, Javier thought.
“Name Ellio, 15 years old. Having heart disease since childhood and still survive until now after undergoing one surgery. But unfortunately, his condition has worsened in the last five years because it forced him to work to help his brother. So he had to be hospitalized at a considerable cost. Then today, his condition is getting worse because he never underwent the second operation” explained Kels with a slightly messy sentence.
Javier seemed to smile at the report, not a happy smile but full of sneaky ideas in his head.
“Miguel..” call Javier which is answered with a nod of the head by the secretary.
“Make him come and beg me!” He said, of course Miguel already understood what he had to do for the order.
“As your wish tuan” reply Miguel.
“Behold miss, the power of the king of the forest is able to make its prey come surrender, without the need to be pursued.” Javier inner. The wider the smile on the face with that firm jaw. His sturdy body leaned against the chair, it felt impatient to wait for his prey to come and surrender.

“100 rb do dollars? I didn't hear wrong?” Surprised even stammered Lucia when she heard the nominal that she had to pay for the operation of her sister.
The doctor nodded slowly “True Lucia.”
“Ta-but, wasn't yesterday not that much?” His eyes were still glaring sharply, disbelieving the nominal mentioned by the doctor.
“Hospital side raise the whole hospital cost, including operation cost.” It was obviously a doctor named Reynald who made Lucia drown.
“That much money, where I had to find Rey” Lucia restored her mane to the top, frustrated with her situation now.
“My savings are running out and until now have not got a job. How can I have that kind of money in a few days” murmured Lucia inwardly with her head bowed.
“Sorry if I have to deliver this Lucia, but the operation must be done immediately given Ellio's condition which is getting drastically reduced.”
Lucia raised her head lethargic even wet eyes “Can you give me 2 days? I promise I'll try harder to get that money”
“There's not that much time Lucia. If you want, try talking to the owner of the hospital, who knows he is willing to give you waivers, at least to repay the cost”, said Reynald. Honestly, he himself feels kasian with Lucia, considering that he is a living witness to how this girl has struggled for the past 5 years. But Reynald was helpless, he could not help Lucia any more than this, considering the nominal was big enough for her.
Lucia suddenly stood up with a bright face back, as if Reynald's idea was like a fresh breeze amidst the pollution“Who? Who is the owner of this hospital doc?”
“Mr Javier Luz Thiago”
