Zeno had never felt this frustrated or cared this much about soone who was just a friend. Putting himself first and seeking his own gain was sothing Zeno did all the ti. However, when he saw Riki, for so reason he beca very worried. And his worries were justified because of their argunt last night.
Perhaps because Riki had grown up with many problems in his life, he had beco ntally weak. How could he not imdiately kill the people who had hard his family? How long would he need to do that?
Zeno sighed heavily for the umpteenth ti that morning.
Then he glanced at the digital clock on the small table in front of him.
It was already seven in the morning, which ant that Riki had kicked Zeno out of the kitchen about half an hour ago. He had only given Zeno a cup of hot latte to enjoy in the living room.
"Aslan and mom should be here by now, right?" he muttered again.
Not long after, Zeno heard the sound of a car arriving. He was sure it was Aslan and his mother, so he imdiately stood up to greet them.
anwhile, in the kitchen, Riki yawned several tis. He was very sleepy, but he couldn’t sleep because he kept thinking about what Zeno had said last night.
Had he really been too kind to those bad people all this ti? According to Riki, the reason he was responding slowly was because he didn’t want to rush. Rushing was sotis not good, and it could ss up all his plans.
Riki had opened the second gold envelope, and it contained all the nas involved. Even though there was no context and only nas written on A4 paper, Riki already understood the gist of it.
Moreover, with a website that only Riki could access, he could easily find evidence of their actions.
Riki turned off the stove after all the food was perfectly cooked. This morning, he made various dishes to welco Zeno and Aslan’s mother. Of course, he had to welco his guests properly. He even made chocolate chip cookies that were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.
The sound of the oven signaling that the cookies were done baking could be heard. Riki took the cookies out and tried one.
Hot.
When Zeno suddenly appeared, Riki was blowing on the cookie.
"Riki, the woman is here. Should I handle her or will you?" asked Zeno.
Riki furrowed his brow, still confused by Zeno’s words, until the next second when he realized that Zeno was referring to Sandra.
Well, Riki was actually fed up with that woman, but it was better if he was the one to et Sandra. Because Riki’s plan was to use that woman to find more evidence about her husband’s cris and his friends.
"Let et her." Riki gave Zeno the cookies from his hand, then quickly walked over to Sandra.
Actually, Riki also heard the sound of a car arriving. But he thought it was Zeno’s mother coming.
Sandra sat in the living room, looking at so of the antique and fantastically valuable displays there.
"Why did you co here?" asked Riki.
Sandra imdiately stood up and approached Riki with a frightened look on her face.
"Riki! Answer , who sent that video?" Sandra asked impatiently.
Riki shrugged, then sat down casually.
"I don’t know, auntie, it was an unknown number. So... it turns out you also had a hand in my father’s death, huh?" asked Riki.
Although Riki showed no signs of anger, Sandra was very nervous at that mont.
If Sandra hadn’t rembered that Riki was still useful to her, she wouldn’t have approached the boy. If she could, Sandra would have killed him too.
But, all of Riki’s assets had to be transferred to Anton’s na first, before Riki could die.
That’s what Sandra thought.
Sandra sat down next to Riki, trying to smile at him.
"Riki... you know, if my husband tells to do sothing?"
Riki raised an eyebrow, "Oh yeah? How did he tell you to do that? So, he knows that Anton is my father’s son?" asked Riki.
Sandra swallowed hard, she was very nervous at that mont, her hands were even shaking because of it.
"Y-yeah... he already knows, and he intends to use that to pressure Edwin. Actually, my husband and the others—"
Riki quickly interrupted Sandra, "The others?"
Sandra closed her eyes for a mont, afraid to say it, but she had to say it to gain Riki’s trust.
"There were so people who wanted to bring down your father. They were jealous of his success at that ti. At school, your father was indeed the best. He wasn’t a very smart student, but he was smart enough to use his strengths to continue to develop. He was also handso, so he was quite popular at that ti. And... and my husband was your father’s bully. My husband and so of his friends liked to bother your father. But after a few years had passed, and seeing the potential of the company your father had started, my husband and his friends approached your father and pretended to be nice to him. But I didn’t love my husband. You know that I took Edwin to a bar and drank with him, right? That was because my husband was cheating on . I was frustrated because I couldn’t divorce him. I was always forced to commit cris just to make him successful. He took advantage of , Riki... you believe , right? I’ll tell you who was involved, okay? But please... you can make innocent, right?"
Sandra imdiately coughed after saying that long sentence.
Riki smiled at her and nodded.
"Don’t worry, auntie, I know you were just forced into it. So, tell everything," said Riki, then he glanced at his system screen which was recording the incident.
"Thank God you believe , Riki!"
Sandra was very happy because Riki was easily deceived, just like her parents.
If Riki was no longer useful, she would get rid of him too.
"So, actually..."
***
"Welco, Mrs. Luna... and Aslan." Riki greeted Zeno’s mother and her twin, who arrived at seven thirty.
Riki was quite amazed to see Aslan, who looked so much like Zeno. Even their heights were the sa. The only difference was their fashion style.
If Zeno dressed like a nice, gentle young man, Aslan was more daring in his fashion choices. Aslan looked like a rapper or soone with a hip-hop style of fashion.
If they had been wearing the sa clothes, Riki might not have been able to tell them apart.
However, when Aslan finally replied to his greeting, Riki noticed a second difference.
Aslan had a deeper voice than Zeno.
Since he rarely saw twins, Riki was amazed. He thought that if he had a twin, it would be really fun, right?
Riki asked them to have breakfast together.
Zeno prepared all the food on the dining table while Riki chatted with Sandra.
"Why did you take so long? I’m hungry and this food is getting cold," protested Zeno after his mother and Aslan arrived.
"Gosh, shouldn’t you welco since we haven’t seen each other in months? Don’t you miss ?" said Aslan, annoyed by Zeno’s attitude, which seed to suggest he wasn’t welco there.
"Why would I miss soone who looks just like ?" replied Zeno.
Luna just chuckled seeing her twin sons arguing like that.
"Oh my, they’re always like that, Riki... so don’t worry. Oh—do you still rember ? We t when you were little. It was at the mall, you were with your mother and I was with Aslan," said Luna.
While Zeno and Aslan were arguing, Riki had already gotten food for Luna.
"Oh, really? I thought it was Zeno. Because I just found out last night that Zeno has a twin," replied Riki.
Luna laughed when she heard that, "Oh my... you must be very confused, right? Maybe it’s because Aslan went through school quickly, while Zeno didn’t want to skip grades like Aslan. Zeno prefers to go to school like other children... that’s why you only et him at school."
When Zeno and Aslan got tired of arguing, they finally joined them for breakfast.
After breakfast, they continued chatting.
Luna told them many things about Riki’s father and mother in the past. She also said that she was in Australia when Riki’s parents had problems. Because of that, she found out about it too late. Then, Luna actually wanted to adopt Riki because she felt sorry for him. At that ti, Riki’s parents had already passed away, and Riki’s older brother didn’t want to take care of him. Luna heard that Riki was often beaten by his brother, so she felt she had to protect the boy.
However, it turned out that Riki’s uncle, Sofie’s father, opposed Luna’s wishes. Riki’s uncle said that he would raise Riki himself, and that he was very capable of doing so. Riki’s uncle also said many things about Luna, said that she might want to take Riki’s parents’ inheritance.
Luna was sad to hear this, so she returned to Australia because she was hurt by Riki’s uncle’s words.
After that, Luna, who was still very upset, did not want to know anything about what happened.
