SPY X Boss Mafia
Chapter 28

The Joker groaned in pain, then his hand immediately grabbed Clara's hand and forcibly pulled out the knife in her stomach.

"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Asked the Joker with eyes that stared intently at Clara.

"Yes, I'm not sane. Wh why? You don't like it, don't you love me so much then why are you mad when I stab you? Aren't you going to kill me after this, too." Clara said with a step that began to limp.

"Args.. Don't be stubborn and bow under my feet." Say the Joker with the hand that holds the wound.

Clara just smiled and shook her head, all this time she realized if she loved the Joker but apparently Clara had misjudged the love said by the Joker.

For the Joker to love Clara not equalize his position with the Joker, but make Clara bow under his feet.

"You know what I've been regretting all along?" Clara asked with eyes looking up at the night sky.

"What you've regretted all this time is obviously being a murderer." The Joker replied with a smile on his face.

Clara smiled as she shook her head, "When I regained consciousness, I knew that my room was now on the ocean side." Clara said with eyes that stared at the waves of the sea that continued to collide with each other.

"I moved it on purpose" replied the Joker.

"What do you think love is?" Clara asked with eyes staring at me towards the Joker.

"Why are you asking me such a thing?" Ask Joker.

"You just answer, why you have to ask." Clara replied with eyes that looked back at the night sky.

"Hem.. Love is when our heart and mind are fixed on one person, when the heart continues to pound when it is near him, and when the feeling of pleasure when with him. I think love is like that and when our body and soul want to protect it even when circumstances force us to hurt it.." The Joker answered with eyes looking at Clara.

With a faint smile Clara closed her eyes, she listened to the sound of the waves pounding her mind as if it were drifting deep into the ocean.

Slowly the Joker walked closer towards Clara, his hands starting to hug Clara from behind. "Sorry.." Joker said as he looked at the woman in his arms.

"I'm sorry?" Clara asked with her eyes still closed and refused to look at Clara.

"Situation compels me," replied the Joker in a low tone.

Slowly Clara began to open her eyes, "So you're going to kill me?" Asked Clara with a sad look.

"Look at me, I guarantee you'll live a happy life." Persuade Joker.

"What's that?" Ask the Joker with a smile on his face.

"Don't make my son a killing machine, I don't want my son to bear such a heavy burden for the crimes he committed." Clara.

"No way, this is all planned by everyone in my organization and I can't just cancel it." Answer Joker.

"You're the head of your organization, I'm sure you can cancel that plan." Clara pleads with the Joker.

"No, Clara, I'm the head of the organization. But without the people who support me and have an important role in my organization, I am a nobody maybe I am just an ordinary person. If I do this, my people will be disappointed and maybe they will rebel." Answer the Joker because he is the one who upholds the rules in his organization even though he is the leader himself.

"You're nothing more than a loser, you can't even do that for fear of your men?" Clara asked with a look of annoyance and disdain.

Hearing this, the Joker laughed lightly, "Clara, if I am without my men or without those who trust me as their leader. I'm no more like a king without a kingdom." Answer Joker.

"What is the importance of a man? You can find the others." Answer Clara.

"Clara, do you know how many criminal organizations like me they initially succeeded and eventually lost, and not even a few organizational leaders were killed by their own men. You know why?" Ask the Joker with a serious look. "That's all because that person has not gained the trust of his subordinates, that organization is just like a country. If a president is not trusted in running the affairs of state, then the ministers will remove his position and replace it with a new person." The Joker explained.

But Clara was silent and reluctant to answer. "An organization like mine, not just my hard work. But my men, and you can't underestimate the people who are under the leadership of an organization. Because they are like pillars supporting a house, if the pillars are lost then the house will be destroyed." Joker said with a cold look and smile.

"If you can't do that because you're a leader, then I'm asking you not to use our child as a weapon. And I beg you because you're their father, don't you feel sorry to see your son doing something he shouldn't have done." Pinta Clara by all means.

But the Joker shook his head again, "You better shut up, Arg.." The Joker felt pain in his stomach.

"I was wrong to judge you, you're so selfish. You only think of yourself" replied Clara.

"I'm selfish? Who's really selfish here, Clara? Me or you? I made this choice because it benefits a lot of people, especially my organization, but you? You want it only for yourself, only to satisfy your own passions and egos without thinking of people who have worked hard for what they want." Joker's back trying to brainwash Clara.

"I'm not selfish, you're selfish.. Besides, which parent would want to see his son become a killing machine." Clara answered in denial about herself.

"Your parents! Those who have made you a killing machine have killed hundreds of human lives." Answer Joker.

Hearing that Clara fell silent for a moment recalling the last memories of her being in the orphanage, "You know why they dumped you? Because they don't want you? And so will our son, I will not live forever as well as you. Especially with my identity like this, there will definitely be many enemies who are after our child." Joker.

Then the Joker held Clara's shoulder, slowly Clara looked towards the Joker.

"So what did you choose! See your son killed or killed?"
