Under the solicitation of several other members, even Budi Winarko who usually seemed cold had to go out in person to invite Heru Cokro to the opening ceremony of the largest store in UK-9, Thai Tea. The respect of UK-9 members to Heru Cokro is something extraordinary. The incident in Jakarta square will never be forgotten.
As already revealed, the Sun Alliance had just faced a very heavy battle, weakening them significantly. All of this happened in response to the actions of the Gresik Regent's revenge against them.
The majority of the UK-9 members are female, and they all seem to be attracted to Heru Cokro during the opening ceremony. They huddled around him, pulling him for autographs and photos. Some of the more daring ones even hugged and kissed her.
As the girls started to get a little too excited, Heru Cokro felt a little cornered. He began to beg for Budi Winarko's help, but Budi just stood to the side, watching him.
Eventually, he almost managed to escape under the protection of his Guard.
"Gee, Mas Heru is so handsome!"
"Yes, even while trying to escape, he was very handsome. I really love him!"
When Heru Cokro heard these words, he further accelerated his pace...
During the day, he attended the opening ceremony of the shop. In the evening, the Chamber of Commerce invited them to celebrate at their home. The parties were extremely luxurious, even surpassing the parties held in the Ruler's Residence.
Delicious seafood, quality wine, and other delicious dishes are just the surface. There are a variety of shows that have been prepared well. Traders like to compete to show their best.
Some perform stunning dances, while others are more creative with their performances. In fact, some of them asked for help from their main headquarters to bring some famous female singers.
Heru Cokro really appreciates all this. He has committed to strengthening ties with his people.
Seeing the excitement of the Gresik Regent, some of the Chambers of Commerce became bolder. For example, the Chamber of Commerce of Makassar provides beauty care services to treat Heru Cokro.
It would be a lie to say that the temptation of the beauty in front of her did not affect Heru Cokro. He was only an ordinary human, and such temptations were extremely powerful. However, when he thought of his faithful wife at home, his desire subsided, and he gently declined their offer.
That night, Heru Cokro found himself having trouble sleeping.
The next day, when news of the land request from the Chamber of Commerce reached He Ayu Heryamin, he immediately rejected it. As a powerful leader in the region, he did not want to give away his precious land just like that to anyone.
The Chamber of Commerce was extremely disappointed upon hearing this decision. They find it difficult to get approval from local leaders in the future.
Amidst the celebration that lasted for five days, time continued to pass. Heru Cokro originally planned to stay in Al Shin District for about a week before returning to Gili Raja Island, Temboko City, and Sesaji Kalalodra. He knew that Jawa Dwipa would face great challenges in the future, and he felt uncomfortable leaving the power center for a long time.
However, he receives an unexpected message from the Empress after three eventful months. His training has finished, and he is already on his way back. Not only that, he had completed the secret mission given to him.
Sometimes, luck can approach someone like a dream. There is a legend about an expert who had five children. They live in poverty, farming half an acre of their land. One night, the expert had a dream about a white-haired guardian who told him about two hidden treasures. The next day, his family found the treasure in an unexpected way. They used special shoes to counter the magical influences and sacred objects for farming. Their lives have changed for the better.
Decades later, the expert died. His children, according to their mother's wishes, buried the treasure with their father. However, word of this treasure spread to the ears of the pirates, who came and besieged the family. They even killed the expert and captured his five children. Although they were brutally tortured, no one revealed the location of the treasure, and all of them died as persistent heroes. Their bravery rattled all the creatures in the region, and the beasts joined forces to punish the pirates and the Mantikei.
One New Year's Eve, the Empress appears at the expert's house, but this time, she does not come to take her life. He had yet to trigger a new mission, and he did not fully understand how special the family that was his current master was. He only saw them as a temporary stopover during his training. However, he planned to return after some time of training.
But a week ago, the expert suddenly died. With this death, the search for the treasure was activated. Heru Cokro felt he had to act as quickly as possible in order not to miss this opportunity.
These events remind him of the story of Emmanuel in his last life, who seems to share many similarities with the events he is experiencing now. He used his martial skills to destroy the pirates and after expelling them, the family gave him a sword which was one of those treasures.
However, with regard to the true origin of the treasure, the Empress retained her information.
Heru Cokro decides to stay in Al Shin District until he returns to King Gili Island. When the fifth month and the eighth day arrived, the Maharani returned.
When he left, summer had just begun, and the city had not even fully awakened yet. However, when he returned, the summer had already reached its peak. After training at Mount Bukit Raya, his aura and appearance changed dramatically. He looked like a living sword that inspired fear.
A swordsman of a generation had officially set foot into the underworld. Heru Cokro also noticed that the sword on the Empress' waist had changed. Keris Nogososro who once transformed into a treasure sword. Since they had just met, Heru Cokro did not want to ask too much about the treasure sword.
When the two of them were united after such a long time, no one dared to disturb them. Maharani eventually turned his attention to Heru Cokro.
"He's Ayu Heryamin, the forums are currently full of news about a playboy. Do you know who he is?"
When Heru Cokro heard these words, he froze. As he had expected, photos from the UK-9 opening ceremony had been spread across the internet.
The group of girls surrounding him on the show was truly shocking. Therefore, Fan Club Brother Jendra started a word war with UK-9 in the forum. UK-9s may not be experts at physical combat, but they are good at debate.
The two groups were involved in a virtual feud, and due to the great reputation of Heru Cokro, this event quickly spread throughout Indonesia.
Heru Cokro felt trapped, and as the person who appeared in the photos, he felt he could not do much.
He also knew that the girls had no ill intentions. They were just little girls having fun. If he tried to explain the situation on the forum, he would only be more suspicious.
However, the Empress suddenly stopped him by raising her index finger, "Heru Cokro, calm down. I was just kidding. Do you think I don't believe you?"
Heru Cokro was relieved, but still slightly stunned, "Maharani, I..."
However, he was instantly cut off by the Empress who laughed loosely, "You're really brave, trying to tease me. Look how I'm gonna teach you a lesson!" Heru Cokro jumped towards the Empress, hugged her and tickled her.
Maharani laughed out loud and pleaded as she chuckled, "Haha, Jendra, I was wrong, haha, I won't do it again."
Heru Cokro continued to tickle her and asked her to call him with a certain call. The Empress, who was most afraid of being tickled, finally followed her request. In the end, after playing around for a while, their clothes became a mess.
The next day, Maharani happily shared the results of the trip with Heru Cokro.
