Chapter 20 (LIKE SETTINGS)After traveling approximately forty minutes from the office. Arsenio finally arrived at the luxurious mansion belonging to Elisha's family. Arsenio parked the limited edition luxury car right at the entrance. Not long after, Arsenio got out of the car smiling happily and carrying a bouquet of white roses. He saw that Elisha was standing in front of the entrance and was accompanied by two burly men behind him. Arsenio at least guessed that the two of them were bodyguards intended to look after Elisha. THING! The notification screen suddenly appeared. Arsenio stopped in his tracks for a moment. [DATA] [Name: Casper] [Skills: 40/100% [Stamina: 60/100% [Action Points: 20 [Victory Points: 10] [Mafia Grade: Class 3 Mafia] [DATA] [Name: Ezra] [Skills: 30/100% [Stamina: 50/100% [Action Points: 30] [Victory Points: 25] [Mafia Grade: Class 3 Mafia] The notification screen disappeared without a trace. Arsenio immediately approached Elisha. "I s
"Who's making noise here?" shouted the middle-aged man with his hands on his hips and accompanied by two sturdy men on the left and right. "Daddy!" Elisha ran towards the middle-aged man and immediately hugged him tightly. As if he was releasing the longing that soared in his body. "Are you here, Elisha darling?" The man let go of his beloved daughter's warm embrace. "Yes, Daddy. I came with Arsenio." Elisha pointed at her charmingly handsome boyfriend. Arsenio smiled faintly. Even though it is actually a compulsion, which must be done in order to achieve a goal. THING! A new notification screen suddenly appeared. No one could see it, apart from Arsenio. [NEW DATA] [Name: Elvano Keen] [Age: 55 years old] [Skills: 45/100%] [Stamina: 44/100%] [Victory Points: 50] [Action Points: 150] [Position: Owner of Legacy Group Company] The notification disappeared after Arsenio finished reading it. He raised an eyebrow, wondering how the middle-aged man could have data in th
"Who's he?" Malik asked, when facing Arsenio. Arsenio's gaze is calm, but contains implicit meaning, making anyone who looks at his eyes feel like they are being watched every second. It was as if nothing could escape his sight. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Arsenio." The thirty year old youth, without hesitation extended his right hand, saying a name, albeit incompletely. On purpose. For security. "He is my lover, Sis." Elisha chimed in while embracing Arsenio's waist affectionately. "Isn't it true that your lover was Felix?" Malik asked while folding his arms across his chest, with a sharp gaze directed at Arsenio, from head to toe. Arsenio clenched his right fist when Felix's name was mentioned. "No! Felix and I are just friends. Besides, I've been dating Arsenio from the start. Our relationship has been going on for more than a year. Isn't that right, darling?" Elisha glanced at the handsome young man who was dreamed of by women. Arsenio immediately put on a
"Good morning, Sir." A woman in her forties, greeted as friendly as possible. "Morning. Make me a cup of coffee. Bring it to my room. Hurry!" said Leonardo, who had just come out of his room. Black shirt unbuttoned and slightly rolled up, trousers, watch wrapped around his left arm. Hair that is neatly styled and smells of typical men's perfume. Oh, what a great performance. Anyone who sees him will definitely be stunned by his handsome face. "Yes sir." The woman nodded. Then rushed to the kitchen to make a cup of Leonardo's favorite coffee. Meanwhile, Leonardo entered his private study room, where all his valuables were stored. Often used for meetings and conferences. Leonardo sat down, then opened his laptop. Look at it, the laptop screen. His ten fingers played beautifully on the keyboard. His expression was so serious that he didn't even blink when he read some of the incoming reports. Several minutes have passed. The waiter who was asked to make coffee also came
Arsenio also sat next to his biological father for the first time in his life. Very awkward. Arsenio had difficulty finding a topic to talk about, so he chose to just look out the window. However, not Alexander Guan. "You know, don't you, that our company is developing a new game?" asked Alexander Guan to open the conversation, in order to break down the awkward atmosphere. "Yes, Dad. I've known it since the first time I joined the company. Bastian has explained everything and I'm just learning it," answered Arsenio casually, folding his arms across his chest. Bastian was the driver, while Cale sat next to him. "That's good, if you learn quickly. Father is happy that your return to the Guan Family has had a good impact. Some of our shares have continued to rise, thanks to your hard work in recent times." Alexander Guan said words of praise and was met with a sweet smile from Arsenio. Slowly but surely, the stiff atmosphere began to warm up. although, it was still Alexander
Arsenio took Elisha to the restaurant where he used to work. Elisha sweated a little. He remembered very well what had happened at the restaurant before. Arsenio was insulted, but instead he received an embarrassment that was difficult to forget. Even Felix was insulted that day. His face was battered from being hit hard by Arsenio. "Come on, darling! We're here." Arsenio stretched out his hand to hold the beautiful woman. "Are you sure you want to eat here? Can we just find another restaurant?" Elisha hesitated to take Arsenio's hand, remembering that he had made a bad memory of Arsenio. "Of course I'm sure. In fact, why don't we eat here? I really want to meet my former boss here. Besides, the food here isn't that bad." Arsenio said confidently. He smiled triumphantly after seeing Elisha's sweaty and pale face. Like someone who lost a lot of blood. "Okay." Elisha surrendered. He had no strong reason to refuse this invitation. If he had known from the start that this
The next day, what we had been waiting for arrived. Sentiong District, kilometer 45. Malik and several of his men were struggling to load weapons into the large, steel-plated box. "Make sure nothing is left behind!" Malik stressed, encouraging the enthusiasm of his men. "Yes, Boss!" They answered simultaneously with fire burning in their bodies. Every two months, Malik will send weapons to the Karang Print District. One by one, the boxes began to fill up with weapons according to plan. It's not just weapons that are being delivered today. There are gold bars weighing 50 kilograms per bar, which will be sent today. In total there is one ton of gold and five hundred firearms that will be sent to the Karang Print District. The amount is larger than the previous delivery. It took an hour to pack everything. "Is everything neat? Make sure there's no gold or weapons left behind!" Malik shouted to make sure. "Everything is ready, Boss. It's time for us to send the gold and wea
"How are you doing now? Who has done all this, causing you to end up like this?" Elisha, who received news that Malik had been attacked and was rushed to the nearest hospital, immediately came to visit. Distance is not a problem. Now Elisha was sitting right next to Malik who was lying limp and helpless on the soft hospital bed. Elisha couldn't hide his anxiety. Which sibling wouldn't be worried about seeing their beloved older sibling have an accident? "I'm fine. It's just a small wound," replied Malik jokingly. "What's so small? You almost lost your life if you didn't hurry up and get first aid," scolded Elisha, mixed with worry. Malik chuckled slightly, then ruffled the top of his beloved sister's hair. "I'm fine. Don't worry too much about me like that. Nothing can hurt me. Trust me!" "Can't it be hurt? You'll end up in the hospital now." Elisha puffed out her cheeks slightly and folded her arms across her chest. Putting on an annoyed face. However, in Malik's eyes, i
Next day. Arsenio defeated X One at the international airport, who was about to flee abroad. On the same day, the organization that X One had been leading was also conquered. They could not move because their leader had been arrested.In the end, Arsenio became the ruler of the Three States, as his grandfather had promised. As it should be, the main heir of the Guan family, who would lead the Three Regions. From that day on, Arsenio began to organize. He formed an even stronger Red Dragon Organization, sturdy and slightly different from the one Alexander Guan had led before.Arsenio made many changes everywhere. Thanks to his contribution, everyone in the Three Sections Region was smiling. There was no one who didn't know Arsenio now.Arsenio also started preparing for his marriage with Anindira. Exactly two months after Luke Mallory passed away. The wedding that he had been waiting for would soon be realized.One day before the wedding. In the evening. Arsenio stood facing out the w
"Surprise!" Elsa's voice was so loud and very attached to Arsenio's ears.Who would have guessed, the bomb that Luke Mallory meant before he breathed his last, was Elsa. Arsenio couldn't stop thinking. If he knew, maybe the girl had moved to the world yesterday. "What's with your expression, Sis? Are you surprised to see me like this?" he continued pretending to be innocent, as if nothing had happened.She was good at playing charades. Yesterday Elsa acted like someone who was suffering a lot. Able, attracting the sympathy of Arsenio and the others. But now? Elsa was like a wolf that infiltrated a flock of sheep, ready to pounce on them.Arsenio flinched. He was too quick to trust someone without finding out more about their origins. Until finally he was on the edge of the abyss because of his trust, but all this he could not regret continuously. "Why are you silent, Sis? Aren't you always talking about this and that? You keep saying that I should trust you, but..." Elsa joked, agai
Arsenio ran to the infirmary. He got the news that Elsa had regained consciousness. He was grateful that the chip removal surgery was successful. Bruk...The door opened violently, creating a loud sound, making the two girls inside gasp in surprise."Arsenio...""Brother Arsenio..."Both of them said the man's name at the same time. Sounded compact. Arsenio breathed a sigh of relief afterwards. Because the two women he cared about, turned out to be fine.Especially when he saw Anindira's smile, it always made his heart calm. "You guys are fine, right?" asked Arsenio to both of them. "Yes, Brother Arsenio."Anindira wanted to answer too. However, she was outdone by Elsa who had already spoken first. Anindira was just silent and waited for her turn to say.Arsenio's gaze was straight at Anindira and so was the smile. Yes, even though his hand stroked Elsa's head."So what about you Arsenio? Did you manage to save my friends? I heard Anindira's story, that you went to save the childre
"When's the delivery?" Luke Mallory is seen in a room, more like a warehouse because of the many piles of abandoned boxes there.Cobwebs adorned every corner of the room. The vents were covered in thick dust.The floor was not tiled, but a layer of sand. "The delivery will be made this afternoon, Boss. The Blood Moon Chief will deliver it himself," one of his men replied, looking down."Good. Our investors have been asking a lot about those kids, who they'll be working as dancers in nightclubs."Luke Mallory smiled sarcastically. Swinging his legs casually, he took a drag from the cigarette he was about to finish."So, did you get any information about Arsenio?"Suddenly he was talking about the Guan family's young master. Every moment he couldn't sleep, he kept thinking of the thirty-year-old's face, who had killed Leonardo. "We haven't seen any movement of the Red Dragon or Arsenio. It looks like they are busy developing the game that was destroyed yesterday," said one of his men.
"Actually, who is this Arsenio brother? Why did you get into that big house? Does that house also belong to you?"Elsa's question, suddenly made Arsenio sigh heavily. Actually he wanted to hide his identity which was none other than the Grand Heir of the Guan Family, from Elsa. However, it seems that circumstances have forced him to tell the truth."The mansion belongs to my father. Actually, I am the main heir of the Guan family. Arsenio Bagas Guan. Alexander Guan's only son," Arsenio explained hesitantly. He wasn't sure the moment was right to reveal his identity. Elsa looked at him very long and wordlessly, as if the sentence was a spell that cursed him into a stone statue. "Elsa?" Arsenio's call awakened the beautiful twenty-year-old girl from her silence. "Why weren't you honest with me from the beginning?" Elsa changed her sitting position from slightly facing Arsenio, now looking out the window."I don't like people who tell lies," he continued annoyed, heard from his tone o
Arsenio returned home. He didn't come home last night because he was accompanying Elsa. "Young Master. Where were you last night?" asked Bastian, who immediately began to probe. "Sir, keep looking for you. Why is your cell phone off? Where exactly did you go, Young Master?"Arsenio let out a long sigh, "I have something to take care of. Now I'm asking you to look for information about the Blood Moon Organization.""Blood Moon?" Bastian knitted one eyebrow. "Isn't that organization already gone. Why, then, are you looking for information on them again?""I'll explain later. Right now, I want to see Father. Where is Father?" "Mr. Alexander is in his room." After hearing that sentence, Arsenio hurriedly climbed the stairs, heading to the second floor.Arsenio immediately entered the room without knocking on the door first."Father," Arsenio said hurriedly."Arsenio. Where have you been, son?" asked Alexander Guan anxiously. He got up from his seat. "I met the members of the Blood Mo
For some reason, Arsenio felt like lingering in this place. As if something was waiting for him and fate wanted him to find it.Arsenio also visited his father and said that he would come home after lunch. Shortly after that, Arsenio saw something that made his blood flow boil again. "Hey, you guys who are fighting over there! What are you doing in public like this?!" "Let's go quickly!!" said a perpetrator encouraging his colleagues to run away from there.Arsenio exclaimed. However, before he could continue his action, the two men who were again ganging up on the little boy, left. This time it was not the girl Arsenio saved before."Hey you guys--Ck!!!" Arsenio clucked with a fist punching the air. His action was reprimanded by two men in security uniforms. From what Arsenio saw, it looked like they were doing routine patrols. "You?! Again making a scene here, don't you think?!" said one of the security officers who seemed no longer able to control his emotions. "Hey, mister!
The next day. Arsenio was traveling at high speed on his motorcycle. It had been a long time since he galloped on his iron horse. Since becoming the Young Master of the Guan family, he no longer rode a motorcycle.Arsenio cut through the crowded city of Sky Blue City. Overtaking the vehicles in front of him with ease.After racing through the streets for thirty minutes, Arsenio stopped his motorcycle right in front of the family cemetery gate. Arsenio got off the motorcycle, not forgetting he brought a bouquet of white roses that were very beautiful and fragrant.Arsenio walked into the grave and stopped right beside the vortex with Clarissa's name on it. He took off the sunglasses that had been on his face. "Good morning, ma'am. Forgive Arsenio for visiting you again."Arsenio placed the bouquet of flowers on Clarissa's grave. He did his best to suppress his emotions, which were trying to break through his defenses."Mom likes white roses, doesn't she? This time Arsenio brought whi
One week later. Arsenio's condition had fully recovered. Bastian took Arsenio to meet the children at the social center, which was built by Alexander Guan.Arsenio walked leisurely while looking around him, which was filled with the sound of children's laughter. This corridor reminded Arsenio of his elementary school. However, when he went to school there was no laughter like this. Every time he walked, his peers immediately avoided. As if he was a monster who did not deserve to be approached. Seeing children can laugh freely without burden, despite not having parents, makes Arsenio feel calm. There was a happiness that he could hardly describe in words. At least in this place, they don't feel lonely. "Mr. Alexander Guan built this place, exactly one month after the death of Mrs. Clarissa. Mr. Alexander Guan, was deeply hurt at that time, moreover he had to part with his son, you, Young Master. Before building this place, Mr. Alexander Guan kept exploring the city. Searching for hi
