The Handsome Adjutant
Chapter 6

The Beginning of the Meeting of Cashel and Riski

In a dimly lit corner of the city, Cashel Ritter walked on his own while looking at the surroundings. His head moved to the right and left, occasionally looking back.

He stood next to the lamp post whose light had been broken until his light flashed like a Christmas tree lamp. Cashel looked at the watch on his wrist. It's eight o'clock at night. Where's rio? Didn't they promise to meet here? His hand was crossed with a package in his arms.

Cashel began to fidget when the time was over from half an hour of the specified meeting time. He was getting more restless as time got late and moved away from meeting time.

Suddenly a middle-aged man grabbed the package in Cashel's arms and ran away as fast as he could.

Cashel shouted and immediately chased after the man. But the man was getting further away, even though Cashel was running as hard as he could.

From the end of the lonely road a young man tackled the man until he was slammed, then they were involved in a struggle until Cashel managed to reach the middle-aged man. The youngster curled the middle-aged man's arm and kicked his knee until he knelt down.

"You! Who told you to take away my things!" cashel exclaimed with a gasping voice.

The middle-aged man was not

answered. Cashel grabbed and pulled the collar of the man's shirt. The man spit into Cashel's face.

"Death to you, Cashel Ritter!" hissing the man, there was a great anger on his face even though it looked faint.

Cashel Ritter kicked the man with all his might, furious.

"You're the one who died! Goddamnit!" cashel shouted as he pulled out a gun from behind the long coat.

The man remained silent as he felt the gun on his head.

"Take him off!" cashel's orders to the young man. Then Cashel started kicking and beating the middle-aged man to the point of being unable to move.

"You picked the wrong enemy!" hiss Cashel while spitting on the man who had been sprawled.

Riski, the young man was stunned to see Cashel brutally beating his opponent. Who her?

"What's your name, Young Man?" cashel asked turned to Riski who stood glued.

"Riski," answered Riski firmly. He doesn't know who Cashel is. He only helped because he saw Cashel panting after the man who had snatched the bag from Cashel's arms. Riski is fed up with the recent acts of violence that often occur in the region where he lives. Indeed, the area is not an elite region, but also not a slum.

"What's your job, son?" ask Cashel again, he wants to know.

"Unemployment, Sir. Just a few days ago, my boss closed his business because of the recent financial crisis. His efforts did not produce, so he chose to close his business alone," Riski replied in a small voice, she was embarrassed.

"Oh so. So do you want a. job, son? As my daughter's bodyguard. If you're interested, come to my office. I'll wait for Monday tomorrow" Cashel said, handing out his business card.

Riski stared at the business card without blinking. Is tonight his lucky night? For several months he was looking for another job to cover the cost of renting an apartment and eating, his job as a mechanic in a car repair shop was not very productive.

"alright, Mister... Cashel Ritter's. I'll come on Monday tomorrow. Thank you very much, sir," replied Riski as she bowed to Cashel. Cashel Ritter smiled, then turned away leaving Riski who still kept bowing to him.

After seeing Cashel Ritter move away and lost in the dimness of the night, Riski turned around and returned to her apartment excitedly.

"Giryo!" riski shouted as he entered

"What's wrong? Why are you screaming like that? Did something happen? Are you hurt?" exclaimed Giryo when he saw the bruises on Riski's face.

"I'm fine, Giryo. Good news, I got a job!" reply Riski with excitement.

"really? You really got a new job? Over where? Who introduced you? Do I know?" cecar Giryo was also enthusiastic.

Riski laughed loudly.

"So I helped someone on the way home. He was impressed and wanted me to work for him" Riski said as she continued to shake his hand holding Cashel Ritter's business card.

Giryo gawks at Riski, seemingly impossible just because Riski gets a job. He snatched the business card Riski held and read the writing on the card.

"Ritter Cashel? I think I know him" Giryo said. The smell suddenly spread from the kitchen.

"Giryo! Your cuisine!!!" yells

Riski, makes Giryo immediately throw the business card on Riski and run to the kitchen with

quick one.

Riski's white sedan pulled over to a roadside shop just outside the city. Riski comes down and goes into the tavern looking for Giryo.

The middle-aged man worked in this shop. Once a week she would go home to the city and live in an apartment with Riski.

Since Granny died, Giryo is the only friend Riski has. Giryo is also an orphan. Granny often calls him to eat together when Riski is in her teens and Giryo in the mid-thirty.

"Get in the room, I'll prepare a compress medicine for your bruise" Giryo said as soon as he saw Riski enter the tavern.

When Grandpa Qin was still around, Giryo always helped her boil and soak the medicine. Little did he understand the treatment of Grandpa Qin's teachings, while Riski preferred martial arts.

"Not too bad, Giryo. Just a little bruise, just a little bit" said Riski when Giryo entered carrying a ceramic jar filled with medicinal marinade with a characteristic wine smell to heal bruises.

"I knew. Let's take off your clothes, Riski," ordered Giryo. Riski complied and undressed. Giryo immediately smeared the medicine onto Riski's bruised body, using cotton in some purplish-blue-looking parts.

However nosily, Giryo lightly pressed the bruise. Riski screamed in pain and Giryo laughed out loud.

Hahaahaha..

"It hurts to know!" gerutu Riski hit Giryo in the head, but Giryo managed to dodge it until Riski's punch missed.

"Eat him avoid if anyone hits. You're too innocent, Riski. Somehow can you be a bodyguard like this?" giryo teased in between the remaining laughter.

"It's done. Put your clothes on, Riski. Tomorrow on Sunday I'll go home with some wine for you" Giryo said.

"alright. Thank you, Giryo!" reply Riski who immediately jumped out after putting on her clothes. He had to go back to Cashel Ritter's house immediately and report the incident just now.

Better to face Xaviera's anger than Cashel Ritter's anger.

The white car was speeding, though, an hour later Riski arrived at Cashel Ritter's residence and saw Cashel's black car already at the door which meant Cashel was already in this luxurious house.

He rushed in after putting the car into the garage.

"Rissy!" cashel Ritter exclaimed as Riski appeared at the kitchen door. Riski's heart jumped out.
