Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 99

Regina tapped the pen on her desk. His brain was being weighed down by thoughts of his last conversation with Abi in the Maharaja's courtyard. He even forgot the ART murder case that was being investigated by his team.

Abi's words have been proven correct. Theodore Francis is truly a man worthy of suspicion. Due to a press conference conducted by the Milky Way, Theodore Francis is suspected of having committed crimes related to the reclamation of the island of Sarden.

Not only about suspecting the former governor, Abi also told about the relationship between the reclamation and the design of the casino with the death of Mischa.

“Mischa is a liaison. He became a liaison between a secret organization leader who is experienced in the field of crime with Sky Emperor, another secret organization filled by the top businessmen in this country.”

“Experienced leader of secret organizations in the field of crime?”

“True. You may never have heard his name. But, the top police officer must have been because he has a strong connection with our police.” Abi brought his face closer to Regina's face and whispered, “His name is lord Jireh.”

“Mr Jireh?”

“Ya, a name that is even taboo to be called among the black world,” Abi said. “They are scheduled to meet on the day of Mischa's death. Unfortunately, Mischa died before the meeting. As the neediest and coincidental party who first learned of Mischa's death, Lord Jireh tried to engineer her death and sent someone to disguise themselves as Mischa. And that person is Benjiro. Because, if you find out Mischa is dead, the exclusive Sky Emperor will not want to show his face to others and the meeting can certainly never happen.”

“Indeed, what was the meeting agenda that day?” ask Regina.

“Building the largest casino on the island of Sarden,” replied Abi.

“Means, Milky Way is one of the members of Sky Emperor.”

“Ya, right. As you know, the Milky Way followed the meeting for a while. That is, he could not have been involved with Mischa's death plot. Also, he left the meeting in the middle of the road because since hearing the plan, he had expressed his disapproval because it was contrary to his campaign plan to seize the governor's seat.”

“Then, what does that have to do with Theodore Francis?”

“The purpose of the meeting was to invite some or all of the Sky Emperor members to invest in their secret casino,”. “Think about it. Why was he already confident of looking for an investor of Sky Emperor class? Definitely because it has received assurances from Theodore Francis and several board members.”

Regina nodded. Today, there is a lot of new information that he gets. Starting from the chronology of Mischa's death, the existence of the apparently real Sky Emperor, a man who heads a secret crime organization called Mr. Jireh, to Theodore Francis' relationship with the engineering of Mischa's death.

Right now, in his office, Regina was busy thinking about how to uncover Mr. Jireh's identity and arrest him. However, he realized that he was alone at the moment. As Abi said, the institution where he worked had been infiltrated by people who were under the control of Mr. Jireh. The real evidence is that there was no investigation into the allegations of corruption of the Milky Way directed at Theodore Francis over the two newly created Raperda.

Moreover, news of the casino to be built on the island of Sarden also evaporated just like that. This indicates if there are ‘people strong’ who are behind all this. Although Theodore Francis has resigned, it is not impossible if Mr. Jireh will use other candidates to smooth over his casino plan.

Then, Regina took her phone and opened the contact number she had stored there. He's looking for a name. STUPID ABI WORSHIPPER INNOCENT LAWYER! It was the name he gave to Indira's mobile number.

“Halo! You got time this afternoon? I want to meet and talk about something important to you.”

Indira sipped her avocado juice with a nervous feeling. His eyes were relentlessly glancing around him. He experienced anxiety because he would meet someone who is not too familiar with him. In fact, it could be said that the competitors. Although he did not want to clarify the competition in what matters.

“A long time?” ask Regina while occupying the seat in front of Indira. Even the way to sit is very cool according to Indira.

“To wait for you, very long. I can use this time for more useful things,” replied Indira cynically.

“I know that you haven't been so good since you were kicked out of IKAKUM. In fact, since no clients have come to you, you offered to become a successful team of Milky Way.” Apparently, Regina is better at synonyms.

“I'm not a successful team. I'm his legal consultant!” amuk Indira's. Then he sat back down and tried to calm himself. He should not be intimidated because right now the one who needs to meet is not him. “You want me to go home?”

Turns out that way worked. Regina so thought to be careful in speaking so as not to offend Indira. Right now, he was the only source of answers to the questions that plagued his mind. He had applied for a plaintiff's license several times in the Maharaja, but was always rejected for confusing reasons.

“Good, I apologize,” Regina said. “I want to discuss something important. Maybe this is also useful for you.”

“How can you rate it useful for us?”

Regina sighed, then said, “Abi told me about the person you are fighting named Mr. Jireh. So, stop being cynical and know that now I am on the same side as you.”

Indira sharpened her gaze as if unsure of what the woman was saying. But, he mentioned the name of Lord Jireh confidently. No doubt Regina got that name from Abi.

“So, what do you want to ask?”

“Previous, I want to ask. Was the press conference conducted by the Milky Way one of Abi's plans?”

Indira nodded with doubt. “What's the reason?”

“I just want to know the purpose. Indeed, Theodore Francis resigned from the gubernatorial seat and from his intention to run again. But, after that, nothing else happened. I think there will be something terrible, for example related to the alleged bribes made by the developers on the island of Sarden or about the plan to build the casino.”

“I should have asked you as part of this country's police force. Why don't the police do an investigation for that?”

“So, your plan is only there?”

Indira felt hurt because she thought of Regina's last words to insinuate her.

Suddenly their attention was distracted by the news on television. The news was about the Milky Way.

“Surprising news we just received. Benjiro Michael, the suspect in the Mischa murder case, reveals a surprising fact. Suddenly he confessed that the murder was carried out on the orders of one of the candidates for governor, the Milky Way. This is reinforced by the Mischa activity schedule submitted by its manager. In the schedule written on the day of his death, Mischa scheduled a meeting with the Milky Way.”

There is still a long news delivered by the news anchor, but Indira and Regina already know what is going on. Finally, Lord Jireh made a move to attack and the first victim was the Milky Way.
