Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 122

While in the Indira building there is Jesse Arnold who is preparing to face Rinjani and on an island in the middle of nowhere there is Abi and Mr. Jireh who are still mince words by throwing provocation at each other, in one corner of the middle of the city that was silent, there was a sound like the ticking of a clock. Suddenly the sound changed into a very loud bang.

The residents who lived around the place immediately came out of their homes. The source of the voice was quite far from the residential area, but his voice could be heard clearly. Several adult men ventured to come to the place. Some of them contacted the police directly.

Those who came to the source of the voice were shocked when they saw a large hole in the ground. Some are hesitant to approach, but there are desperate to keep peering at the inside of the hole.

“What is it? Like a tunnel,” said one reckless citizen.

Hearing those words, other citizens were moved to peek. And it's true, there's a tunnel inside. Of course it was something surprising to them. Some residents have occupied the area for decades. They never knew or saw any activity related to the construction of underground tunnels.

Not long after, several policemen from the gegana regiment came to secure the location. Their presence was followed by journalists who had heard the information. A glimpse of news from various media outlets reported about the explosion.

The troops were then split in two, who were tasked with tracing both sides of the tunnel. The rest, neutralize around the blast site so that no people enter.

A man in police uniform came to the scene moments after and immediately approached the officer who was on guard. It was Iptu Nyoman.

“What happened?” tanyakanya.

The officer recounted the conditions that occurred at the time, especially about the tunnel. Iptu Nyoman also peered into the blast site to confirm the tunnel that was just told by the officer.

“It looks like the boy is telling the truth,” muttered Iptu Nyoman.

Sweat poured down all over Indira despite the cold weather. Although at a glance, he had seen Jesse Arnold holding a gun, which must have been pointed at him. If Rinjani was a little late, maybe now he was in another realm.

He heard a noise from the blows and shattered objects from outside the room. Inwardly, he continued to pray that Rinjani would defeat the man.

What am I supposed to do? Did I just shut up and let my partner get hurt? I have to be brave. Even Ussop who was weak and often hid in the middle of a fight only occasionally showed his courage because of his high sense of solidarity.

Indira comes out of bed and intends to decide to help Rinjani just because she remembers one of her favorite anime characters. How to help him, he thinks later. All it takes is courage and determination.

But, he did not open the door and chose to go back under the bed.

At least Ussop is good at shooting and has some great weapons and comrades, while I don't. I'm sorry, Rinjani. Anyway, we're not too familiar.

Meanwhile, Rinjani is trying to get up after Jesse managed to hit his left rib by a landslide until he fell. The martial ability he had learned for over twenty years seemed to not look enough to compensate for the attack after attack waged by that loyal assistant of master Jireh.

“Sorry, I never held back my ability even though my opponent was a woman,” Jesse said as he waited for Rinjani to stand.

“So, that's all your ability?” Yes, despite being in a state of near defeat, Rinjani remains strong in being sarcastic.

Jesse smiled for a moment before returning to Rinjani with a fist. Despite still enduring the pain in his ribs, Rinjani was able to anticipate the attack by dodging. Slowly he began to be able to cover up his pain and re-installed the horses.

Jesse attacked again and this time with his feet. Rinjani can avoid, even he did not waste the gap that opened. Jesse's stomach was within his reach and without protection. He quickly attacked that part and hit it. Jesse fell backwards, though it didn't seem to cause much pain.

“Then, I can suggest another outfit for you. How about the shroud?” rinjani said as she ran attacking.

Jesse fended off the barrage with his hands. His face was completely calm as if the attack meant nothing. Seeing his opponent's expression that seemed to underestimate him, Rinjani increasingly intensely attacked. Unfortunately, it still does not produce any impact.

In fact, Jesse ended it with a big kick, back to the ribs he had hurt. Rinjani felt an excruciating pain until she screamed loudly. He believes some of his ribs have been broken.

“I'm bored. What if we just end it now?” Jesse throws a rhetorical question while taking out his firearm again and then points it at Rinjani.

Seeing the bad situation he faced, Rinjani could only resign. He still wanted to fight, but his injuries seemed to hold back.

“You want to say something? Think of it as your last words before the angel of death takes you to hell.”

Rinjani tries to catch her breath which feels unusually heavy. His eyes are already twitching.

“Say the angel of death, he is waiting for you, not me.”

Then I heard a shot.

 Abi and Mr. Jireh were still staring at each other. A very cold night wind pierced into the bone marrow. But, the tension between the two seemed to turn off their cold sensors.

“How can you know this island?” asked Mr. Jireh to break the silence.

“Because you killed my sister,” replied Abi who made Mr. Jireh confused.

“How is it related?”

Abi chuckled and sat down on a large rock nearby. “After my sister's death, I wonder, why did she die? If he had to die, why then?”

Mr. Jireh still did not understand Abi's intentions.

“I try to remember previous events. O yes, before the death of my dear sister, I met Arya Topaz Gumilang. When I told him that I knew your plan after he became governor, he kept looking up at his vault. Then, I went back to his office and dismantled the closet. And I finally found out about this island.”

Mr. Jireh was stunned, then he laughed. Start slow, then become loud. He felt the irony in his status as the most fearsome human being as the lord of Jireh. As it turned out, how clever and cruel he was, his plans were always ruined by having stupid men.

“Idiot it. I told him many times to keep the documents in a safe place. He thought the vault in his office was a safe place. And I'm working on it being president in the future.”

“Then, when I called you earlier and said I wanted to meet somewhere you didn't expect, how can you be sure that this island is what I meant?”

Mr. Jireh was silent for a moment, then said, “Because I would be very disappointed if it turned out that the place you were referring to was not this island.”
