Vino said using a loudspeaker, "Brothers, I would like to introduce Ali, a new member of our trade union. And Ali is a special guest by my side tonight." He pointed at Ali.
On the eve of the banquet, Vino informed everyone that Ali was a new member of the trade union. Ali, with a slightly surprised face, received the announcement.
All eyes in the room looked at Ali. They were whispering to each other and did not expect that someone the age of Ali could be a special guest by Mr. Vino's side.
Ali looked around, nodding his head.
However, Ali felt a tension in the air when he accidentally saw the face of Indra, the person who took his hotel first.
Ali muttered inwardly, "Oh, Indra. Intan's family is also a member of this union as it turns out?"
Unexpectedly Indra stared back at Ali. The atmosphere around them felt uncomfortable. Sparks of hate began to be felt.
"Is there a problem, Son Ali?" Vino asked, looking at the wrinkles on Ali's face.
"Little bit. There's an old friend I don't like here."
"Old friend?"
"Hello, Ali." Indra approached, greeting Ali. "How are you, thief!"
At first few people heard Indra's words, but because the unpleasant word and the courage of Indra disturbed special guests, the news spread like a mushroom.
"What does the word 'thief' mean by Indra?" Vino said, feeling uncomfortable.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't say hello earlier, Mr. Vino." He bowed, paying respect to Vino. "You all know that the Sohoo Hotel belongs to the Intan family, right? Unfortunately, the hotel was stolen... And the thief is in front of me right now." He continued, showing a condescending look at Ali.
Ali chose to remain silent, not wanting to be provoked by Indra's words.
Ali was aware that going berserk or showing anger would not bring any benefit in this situation. In a crowd like this. He chose to hold back, keeping the calm in his heart.
"Is everything Indra says true, Ali?"
Ali glanced at Vino. "That's right. I took the hotel. But before you know it, the hotel was mine that was taken by him."
"There is no evidence that he was the owner of the Sohoo Hotel before. You all know that hotel belongs to the Intan family!"
As a result of Indra's words, Karna's ears were red hot. Because he felt very upset and his emotions peaked.
Boom...
Indra bounced a few meters after being hit by Karna on his face. The people who witnessed it instantly fell silent, no longer talking about Ali secretly. For them it was an interesting show.
Karna, with a face still burning with anger, approached Indra who was still down.
"Indra, what you said earlier is not true and very inappropriate! Your defamation could ruin Mr Ali's reputation!" Karna raised his voice, almost shouting. "I was there when you signed the Hotel surrender. If anyone doubts Mr. Ali, and does not accept please go forward!"
Indra looked at Karna full of hatred. He still remembered that Karna had suddenly betrayed him for no reason.
"Traitor!"
"Go, gohome. I let you go today because of our previous relationship." Karna.
But Indra still looks confident.
In the midst of the incident, Ali decides to talk to Vino personally to address the issue.
Mr. Vino replied, "Sure, Son Ali."
"I feel this meeting is not conducive because of Indra. And I feel very uncomfortable with him around me. Can you kick him out before I lose control?"
Mr. Vino saw Ali's calm expression slightly change. Vino understood the situation. Indeed, this meeting already looks like a riot among supporters.
Vino then went towards Indra to talk to him.
"Without diminishing my respect for the head of the Intan family. I'm sorry Nak Indra. I'd like you to leave this meeting. Please return to your residence. Say hello to your father."
Everyone is dumbfounded. A caliber of the Intan family could be expelled for the sake of an Ali whom they did not know of his origin.
"It's an insult to the diamond family!" Shouted Indra. He pulled out the phone, pressed the call button. He planned to ask the Batu Rhino Gang for help.
"You've heard it Indra. Go now!" Because he held his hand very hard. He wanted to hit Indra in the face again.
Frightened senses ran out of the room. Simultaneously, the screen on his phone already showed the call was received.
Moments later, Mr. Vino returned to Ali with a smile on his face.
"According to your request, son Ali. Can I hear the full story now? So that I can defend you in the presence of all the businessmen present."
Ali was silent. He could clearly hear what someone was saying on Indra's phone. "We'll be here soon." That's what Ali heard.
Ali said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Vino. I really appreciate it. But it looks like this meeting won't go smoothly anymore."
Indra entered the meeting hall again, this time with the hundreds of people who filled the room. Their appearance was fierce with after grey-symboled rhinos in their jackets.
Their presence intimidated many people in the room, creating a tension felt in the air.
"Rock of stone!" Karna's teeth chattered, knowing the sworn enemy of the Dragon Hunters. Ali heard that.
Ali is aware of the presence of members of the Batu Rhino gang, but he chooses not to panic or be affected by the atmosphere of tension. He understands the importance of maintaining calm and maintaining self-control in situations like these. Or else there would be many innocent victims.
Meanwhile, Karna, who also watched the incoming members of the Rock Rhino gang multiply, felt cold sweat dripping from her forehead. He said, "If I had known that this would happen, I would have brought an army with me." Karna realized that this situation could become even more dangerous without adequate preparation.
Karna felt regret and worry, but he also realized that at the moment it was best to look for the best way to deal with this situation wisely.
"Who hit Indra?" Said Robi the leader of the rock rhino gang
"Me!" If the others move away and choose to get closer to the wall, Karna approaches gallantly.
Robi, the leader of the stone rhinoceros gang, showed a calm expression yet filled with decisiveness. His firm face line reflected his strength and courage. His eyes flashed with a sharp gaze, depicting intelligence and careful observation. His lips folded in a thin smile, revealing high confidence.
"Color... You hit my boss?"
As she stared at Robi, a speck of sweat dripped from her forehead.
"It looks like the sky is giving a good chance to our gang." Robi said confidently. “Without leader, Dragon Hunters can what?”
The members of the stone rhino gang stared intently at Karna simultaneously. They are ready to take their next orders.
Robi approached Karna. When they faced each other, instantly the atmosphere became filled with an aura of intense competition. The two stared at each other with sharp, challenging looks.
