Athana did not take a look, his heart was still disturbed curiosity about who Larry in the dimensions of the novel he had been to.
"Did you remember ... how Laura died?" Larry's voice broke the silence, which in a few moments was created.
"You ... The neighbor at that time?" ask Athana.
When he was in the novel world, the only man he had contact with other than Arvian, was just a neighbor next door. Neighbors who sided with her and were willing to help her terrorize Laura.
"Yes." Yeah."
Larry's answer has not eroded Athana's curiosity. The neighbors seem ordinary. Nothing stands out in him, just a simple guy who needs money to get on with life.
"The best time to attack an opponent is when he is complacent, and the best way to get him complacent is helplessness. Since two years ago I've been back here, counting on revenge against Johan. I always keep my ambition. I stood far away from him without showing the strength I had. I can go in slowly without making him suspicious." Larry's words made Athana a little aware.
"So ... That time you were also on purpose? Pretending to be weak so I don't suspect anything?" ask Athana.
"Right, even when we meet in the real world, I'm still pretending. Before you were here, you never suspected that I had any other intentions?" Larry's words were responded to with a slingshot by Athana.
Larry smiled, "In that moment, I did something very important. I put a tracking device on your car door. I made it as thin as possible so that its existence you do not realize. But, that tool is very sophisticated. In fact, from there I can tap your phone. I know what you did to Jessy, and I took advantage of that opportunity to frame Johan. Actually, I still have bigger plans. But, you're impatient."
Athana has trouble swallowing. I don't know what Larry is. All this time he was quite great in the dark world. Not only kill, but also set strategy and hide identity. However, Larry easily broke that ability.
"Why are you silent? Is there something on your mind?" ask Larry.
"Who are you, why do all this? Although I am not the greatest person, I am not a weak person either. Before, no one could do this to me. But you, not only did it to me, but to Johan as well." Athana looked at Larry more closely.
"You and Johan are the same, that is, arrogant. You never pay attention to the little things around you, you always assume everything can be overcome with the existing abilities. But, no wonder. You've become what you are now thanks to Johan, it's only natural that you have a semblance of nature."
"It's not me who doesn't pay attention to things around, but you who are too neat to hide the plan" Athana argued.
"Oh yeah? Then I ask you one thing, why was Arvian being nice to you back then?" Larry returned Athana's gaze while folding his hands on the chest.
"Because Melati is not weak anymore. Maybe before he felt hate because Melati was too weak" Athana replied.
"For the minds of ordinary people, that's pretty good. But for someone like you, the answer is very bad."
Athana. There was a pang when Larry underestimated him.
"Do you know if Arvian was replaced by Alex? He was being kind and as if he loved you, that was his deepest feeling. Mike never told him you were framed first. There, Alex finds a figure with the same personality as you. And he can't control his feelings. Because he really loves you."
Athana frowned when she heard Larry's absurd words. Where maybe Alex keeps the love, proof he cheated on Jessy.
"Did Jessy say something, so you don't believe what I said?"
"Labile and cunning women like Jessy, must have told many lies for the sake of momentary satisfaction. The proof is, he didn't use the weapon that Mike had prepared for him. That already illustrates his haughty nature, which wants to look like winning despite being in a losing state. Was it before you killed her that she claimed to be pregnant?" Larry looked at Athana's face.
"No, but .. admitted to doing it often." Athana lowered her head, permeating the pain that was still left in her heart.
"And you believe?"
"Shouldn't I believe it?" Athana turned Larry's question around.
Larry laughed, "It doesn't seem wrong if I call you stupid, Athana. You know what Johan looks like, do you think .. will he just shut up when his beloved daughter is tainted by Alex? Don't forget, they're new lovers, not husband and wife."
Larry's words seemed to slap hard. Why is it only now that Athana realizes it all.
"Have I misjudged all this?" Athana Mummings.
"Clearly wrong. As for what he did with Alex, it must have been a lie. He just wants to torment your mind at the last moment. That's why you're left conscious and not paralyzed with that smoke. He hunts for satisfaction without thinking long" Larry said.
"So actually Alex didn't cheat?" ask Athana quickly.
"From the information I've gotten during the hacking of Red's network in the last months, Alex is cheating. But, he was only looking for a momentary escape. The true feeling of love is still for you. However, he is reckless, seeking escape by accepting his love for Jessy, a high-ranking woman. When the woman says yes, it won't be easy for Alex to break away. Behind you, Johan once gave him a mission to kill you, but Alex refused. And in the end, Mike and Johan trap Alex in that dimension. He was given a mission to kill a villain who was none other than Melati, whom you played. But, they don't realize Alex's love is too strong. Until finally the plan failed as it is now" explained Larry at length.
"You know a lot about this plan, even much earlier than I imagined. But, why didn't you tell me? If so, I can___"
"Can you run away with Alex, you mean?" Larry concluded. "Alex's affair is just a joke, but that's enough to call him a bastard. Can you guess why he's looking for an escape?"
"Because .. of my condition," Athana replied quietly.
"really. Some men adore virginity very much, and it seems Alex is also included. Only, he could not control his heart. He still loves you even though he knows that your situation is not as he hoped. That kind of man doesn't deserve your fight, Athana. Although love is still there, but one day it will certainly bring similar things. So, better find another man." Larry exhaled a rough breath at the end of his sentence.
"Yes, you're right."
"And ... Another one that makes me keep this a secret. Your proud and ambitious nature must be changed. Your path is still long, if those two traits are still you carry, in time you will be destroyed by them, just like Johan is now. That's why, I purposely let you through all this. You have to have experience to change yourself. Athana .. You and Dove are the next owners of Red" Larry said, leaving Athana stunned.
"Why me?" ask Athana.
"Because after this I'm leaving. You'll heal quickly and get your revenge on Johan. I purposely let him live so that you have a chance to vent his anger" Larry replied as he moved on and left Athana.
In the conversation just now, there was a huge tightness. A thing that made Larry's eyes glazed over.
Seriate...
