The System Of Beauty
Chapters 18. Lex Luther

"What did you guys do? Do you know who the three of them are?"

While Thrisa and Zee were talking on their way, Ryan, who had just arrived on his Ducati, asked a question.

Ryan gives Zee and Thrisa a warning about three mohawk-looking men they have previously confronted and defeated. Ryan feels the need to warn them as he realizes that Zee's actions have posed a greater danger to themselves.

"You should know about the dangers that may occur with your feud with those three mohawk men as well. You must be careful with them!"

Thrisa and Zee look at each other at the warning given by Ryan.

"Thank you for telling me, Ryan. What's wrong with them?" Thrisa asked out of curiosity with them.

"Ck! They are quite dangerous gang members in this area. They may be looking for trouble or criminal activity. I fear their presence could invite greater danger. Especially..."

Ryan did not continue his sentence, but instead looked at Zee with a cynical look.

Getting such a look, Zee closed his eyes and shook his head quickly. "I'm not afraid of them! I beat them up earlier. They won't dare anymore."

Ryan smiled again. "You must think before you act! Striking one of them could trigger revenge or even more dangerous acts. You, just like T-rex!"

Zee frowned in surprise, hearing the parable Ryan had given her.

"Did you call me T-Rex without thinking? I'm not afraid of them!" Zee remained in his stance, irritated by Ryan's attitude and words.

"Basic bad." Zee grumbled by muttering to himself.

Thrisa tried to calm things down. "Quiet, both of you. Ryan, thank you for the warning. Zee, we have to deal with this situation carefully and not invite bigger problems, and we better get home soon."

Ryan prepares to leave on his bike, after giving a warning about the imminent danger of the three mohawk men to Thrisa and Zee.

Zee, who was involved in the previous incident, felt confident and ignored Ryan's warning.

Ryan himself appeared indifferent, even mocking Zee, after trying to emphasize the importance of thinking wisely and avoiding impulsive actions that could have a bad impact. But in addition to giving a warning, Ryan also insulted Zee by calling him a T-Rex dinosaur that acts without thinking. This he said because it refers to Zee's actions that are too impulsive or without considering the consequences of his actions against the mohawk men

Meanwhile, Zee is already involved in the incident and has beaten one of the mohawk men. This may be Zee's response to the man's unwanted actions or behavior.

While Thrisa tried to calm the situation and invite them not to argue and immediately go home.

***

In a luxurious house, the three men who were previously beaten by Zee were in a luxurious house. They knelt before a bald man wearing a thick gold necklace around his neck.

After hearing stories from the three men about their defeat by a woman (Zee), Lex is embarrassed. He felt humiliated because his men lost a fight with a woman. As their leader and boss, Lex took decisive action.

Lex Luther said with an angry and angry face. "You three! I can't believe I heard you lost to a woman? How could?! I'm ashamed to have weak men like you!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lex, he's so strong! We can't fight it."

One of them answered nervously. His bruised face was clear when he was in a state of fear.

Lex Luther looked back at them with a sharp look.

"You must understand, defeat is unacceptable! I'm Lex Luther, the drug lord of Southeast Asia! No one should dare to denounce or insult my group. If you can't solve this problem, then you mean nothing to me!"

"Sir Lex, he's not who we thought he was. He has incredible powers and..."

Lex Luther cut their words with a rising voice. "There's no excuse! I don't care about his power. You must kill that woman right now! I want my honor and power to be recognized, and that means you must get rid of this threat once and for all!"

Lex orders the three men to kill Zee in revenge and to recover her honor. If they refuse or fail to carry out the order, Lex threatens to get them out of the group. In addition, Lex also ordered the three men to bring 30 of his men, who were most likely members of Lex's group or subordinates, who were certainly just as vicious.

This situation is very serious and dangerous. Lex Luther, as a powerful drug dealer, had significant power and influence. His threats and orders must not be ignored, and Zee's life is in real danger.

The three men who are beaten by Zee must decide how they will deal with the situation, while looking for ways to protect themselves and avoid the worse consequences of Lex and his group.

"Ta-pi, but Mr. Lex. She. she's not alone. He has friends who..."

When one of them wanted to give an explanation of Zee's power, Lex Luther raised his hand and shouted furiously.

"Did I ever teach you to doubt my orders?! Have you forgotten who gave you this power and luxury?! If you are unable to complete this task, then you will soon meet a terrible end!"

Seeing his Master angry, the three lowered their heads back.

"All right, Mr. Lex. We will complete this task. We don't want to disappoint you."

"Good! You guys should try to do that. Make sure there's nothing left. And take the other 30 men with you. I want a clear message sent to anyone who dares to stand against us. Now, go!"

Lex Luther who was not usually defeated and underestimated, showed his anger and decisiveness to his three men. He did not accept any reason or explanation for their defeat.

Lex forces them to immediately kill Zee or anyone who has interfered in his affairs, as a way of restoring the honor of his group.

Lex's threats and intimidation assert his position as a strong and unforgiving leader. The three men feel forced and afraid, and they realize the importance of carrying out the order to defend their place in Lex's group. For they would not be wretched if they did not obey Lex Luther.
