The Mystery of Black Rabbit Lake
Chapter 28 - Scandal

Budi decided to return to the police station after unsuccessfully finding Athena in the tomb of Zeus Anthony. And on the way to the police station, he stopped at a red light in the city center and saw a large monitor in a downtown building. The monitor aired the news of the murder of Hefasius Anthony, a famous selebgram who died horribly in his home. Your mind is instantly confused.

“Sial... how can journalists and TV reporters know this news? Even though this case has been closed tightly by the police so as not to spread before the police catch the perpetrator of the murder. Surely now the police are in a fog looking for Athena," furious Budi then immediately drove his car at high speed to the police station.

And it is true what Budi guesses. Mr. Hendra was sprayed all-out by his superior, Police Chief Z. Because the Chief of Police has come under strong criticism from some parties of the elite to immediately find the murderer Hefasisus Anthony. The reaction of the elite seemed excessive like they wanted to look for face only, because rumors Hefasisus Anthony is the second son of Hades, the owner of Hades Group is also spread on the internet. Who does not know Hades, the owner of Hades Group? The richest and greatest man in this country. So influential elites who want to get sponsorship funds or political support from Hades, vying to pressure the police to immediately solve the case of the second son of Hades Group.

Budi who saw the look on the face of Hendra who was depressed, felt sad because he could not help his boss. All his efforts did not succeed in finding Athena.

“Sorry, Sir. I did not manage to find Athena in Zeus' house, in Doctor Roy's clinic and in Zeus's tomb" Budi said.

“It's okay, Bud. Thank you for all your efforts. Now we can only wait for Athena to contact her family, once the location where Athena was found when she called her family, we will move immediately" Hendra said and then took the brown envelope on her desk, open it and read the contents of the forensic report inside the envelope.

“Budi, now investigate the murder case of Satpam Agus and this unidentified person. It seems that the perpetrators of their murder are both related to the case of Zeus and Hefasius Anthony," ordered Hendra.

“Good, Sir," said Budi.

David comes to Ares's room at the Hades Mansion after getting important information.

Tok…

“So," said Ares who had finished bathing and wearing his casual clothes.

David immediately walked into the room and saw Ares was walking to the sofa. The young master looks more handsome and relaxed in a dress shirt and pants pastel colors, if you have decided to work in the Mansion all day.

“Uh. It was nice to be back in my room after last night staying up, not sleeping taking care of Athena," Ares muttered softly as she sat on the sofa. Lunch is on the table. Ares took a glass of orange juice and drank it. And then start enjoying lunch. David patiently waited for his Young Master to finish his lunch which was delayed by several hours.

“What's up, David?" ask Ares after lunch.

“Mrs Hera is now in a villa owned by Lucius Malcom, sir," replied David.

“As I suspected," said Ares relieved to hear news from David.

“Do we need to pick her up, Mister?" ask David.

“No need, David. How's Mama Hera doing there?" ares said because Ares felt Mama Hera would be safer and more comfortable in her best friend's villa.

“At first Mrs Hera was very depressed and frightened, sir. But now his condition is better after the Psychiatrist who came to the villa is replaced, Mr.”

“Fear? Why is Mama scared? Mama's not Papa Zeus' killer, is she?" ask Ares worriedly.

“Until now the Madam Psychiatrist has not managed to get an explanation of the events of that night from the Madam, Mr.”

“Meanway? Mama was at Papa Zeus' house that night?" ares asked confusedly.

“True, Sir. It seems as if Lady Hera is in the house of Lord Zeus and knows who killed Lord Zeus and Lord Hefasius, Lord. But the Madam is still shocked and traumatized by the incident, so until now the psychiatrist has not managed to extract any information from the Madam" explained David.

“Oh Mama.. May Mama be well now," said Ares sadly.

“Continue monitoring Mama's situation there, if Mama's condition is not good, immediately notify me, maybe I will move her to a private island with Athena," Ares told David.

“Good, Mr.”

“What's the name of your psychiatrist in the villa?" ask Ares to know.

“Doctor Roy Surya, Sir," replied David.

“The doctor again...," said Ares who immediately remembered that the doctor was Kak Mutiara's lover and also Athena's psychiatrist.

“What's the condition of Mama first?" ask Ares.

“Do you want to see the cctv video recording in the villa?" ask David.

Ares nodded and David immediately played a video of the cctv recording on his tablet and handed it to Ares. Ares let out a long breath, his eyes glazed over as he looked at the video. He was very sad to see the condition of his old mother, beautiful woman, beautiful and great, a woman who was always praised and admired by many people, so devastated in sadness and fear. Her beautiful face was full of tears, pale and frightened like seeing a ghost. Mom looks like a depressed woman.

“Mama..," murmured Ares quietly.

David then took his tablet and then played a video of the latest cctv footage, handing the tablet to Ares. And a moment later, Ares smiled gently.

“Thank God, Mama still has good friends, who protect Mama when Mama slumped. Forgive Ares, Ma. Ares was late to save, Mama," said Ares continued to control his emotions to stay strong.

Mark Anthony was at Hades Mansion (residence of Ares Anthony) at exactly 5 p.m. Mark immediately entered Ares' office, escorted by David, Secretary of Ares.

Tok…

“Come in, Opa," said Ares from behind the door.

David and Mark immediately enter Ares's study. Ares who was working behind a desk, immediately stood up and walked to the sofa in the middle of his study.

“Sit down, Opa," said Ares inviting Opa Mark to sit on the sofa. Opa immediately sat on the sofa. They sit facing each other.

“Take Opa drink, David," Ares orders.

David immediately picked up two cold drinks from the refrigerator in Ares's study, then placed them on the table. Then stand straight beside Ares.

“Minum, Opa," said Ares as he took the cold drink, opened the lid and immediately drank the contents.

“That's fresh," said Ares then put the cold drink on the table.

Opa Mark then took the cold drink, drank it and then put the drink on the table.

“Ares, Opa would like to ask you a favor," said Opa Mark.

“Iya, Opa. Ares will always be ready to help Opa" Ares said as he sat up straight ready to listen to the continuation of Opa Mark's speech.

“Please ask your Papa, Hades to release Athena. The girl is innocent" said Opa Mark heavily.

Degs…. Ares' heart skipped a beat.

“Papa Hades?" ares asked in surprise.

Opa Mark nodded.

“How could Papa Hades be involved in this matter? Ares has investigated. It was Lucius Malcom who was behind all this, Opa. Mama Hera's best friend hid Mama in one of her villas. So that Mama Hera would not be a murder suspect, because Mama was also at the house of Papa Zeus on the night of the murder" said Ares.

“Lucius Malcom was Hades' only accomplice to save Hera. Hades loves your mother a lot, Ares. So he doesn't want your mama in trouble. And making it all seem like it was Athena. Do whatever your Papa asks Athena to stay out of all this trouble. Hadeslah the key holder of this problem. If Hades wants to hand over the keys, all these problems are sorted out, Ares" Opa said.

"Key?," murmured Ares quietly. And immediately Ares recalled the cctv footage that was cut off at Papa Zeus' house, surely Papa Hades has a complete video recording of Papa Zeus' house.

And cctv video recording is the KEY.

Ares swallowed his saliva.
