Aldy parked his motorbike in the parking lot of a building which was a nightclub that had a reputation as a place for VIPs.
With usual steps, he walked towards the front door. But just as he was about to enter, two people who seemed to be security guards were holding him back.
Aldy stopped, watching the two people. The clothes they wore seemed too luxurious for mere security officers, although the muscles wrapped under the expensive coats could not be covered at all.
One of the two looked at Aldy from head to toe and smiled with a rather annoying accent. "Sorry, but this isn't a place for ordinary people. Just go home."
Aldy's dress style is indeed very casual, with a white T-shirt covered with a dark-brown bomber jacket with the zipper left open, black jogger jeans finished with black Vans SK8 High sneakers with white old-school stripes.
Someone wearing expensive clothes that are quite quirky just came out of the VIP club while embracing the two women on his left and right.
One of the two security officers who stopped Aldy's steps turned and bowed his head to the man who brought out the two women.
"Kid, why are you still here? Go away! You're blocking the entrance!"
Aldy is still silent.
For some reason, Aldy was annoyed because of the misunderstanding between himself and Maureen. He chose to come to the address sent by Mansur in case he had something to vent his frustrations on.
Aldy was still silent, not because he was afraid or intimidated, but he thought about what the consequences would be if he broke a few bones of the two security guards who had treated him like trash.
Worst case scenario, maybe Aldy will have to deal with the police. However, Aldy is not sure whether the owner of this place trusts law enforcement officers or not.
If not dealing with the police, will he be dealing with the gangsters who rule this area?
Maybe Aldy just watched too many action movies.
"Hey, devil child!" shouted Mansur who emerged from within the place. "Why did you just arrive? Don't you know, my body is almost rusty waiting for you!"
Mansur tapped one of the security guards on the shoulder and whispered to him. After Mansur did that, the two of them immediately invited Aldy to enter.
Aldy walked behind Mansur without asking anything.
Actually, there are many things that Aldy wants to know. One of them is about the clothes that Mansur wears.
The light-pink suit really didn't suit his dark skin. Does he work here?
The more they walked, the more they could hear the thumping sound of EDM music echoing down the hall.
And they arrived at a place filled with a sea of people. Everyone moves to the beat of the music played by a DJ on stage. Ally looked around. At some point, some pole dancers are wearing only bikinis.
In his mind, Aldy thought. Is a place like this legal in an eastern country?
It seems money can indeed buy many things, especially the legality of a business place.
Even though the place is filled with trash.
"How is it? Do you like my playground?" Mansur asked, feeling proud of himself. "Oh yeah. I brought you here on purpose because someone wants to meet you."
"Who?" asked Aldy, getting wary.
Mansoor smiled. "Follow me."
Aldy followed Mansur's footsteps, walking through a sea of people enslaved by the rhythm of EDM music. It wasn't hard to follow Mansur's steps even though he was in the middle of a crowd, considering his size and the bright pink suit he wears.
Although, several times Aldy's body was stroked by the hands of people who were attracted to him on the dance floor.
Aldy didn't care about it one bit.
They finally arrived at a place that was quite separate from the dance floor. Mansoor bowed his head to a person sitting on a sofa with a woman on his lap.
"Boss, this is the person I told you about," said Mansoor politely to the person.
What did Mansur call him?
Boss?
Who is this person?
Why did Mansur look obedient to that person?
Aldy is still silent. He still couldn't believe that what was in front of his eyes was really similar to what he saw in action films.
Who is this?
A mafia boss or something?
What a shocking reality.
"Aldy, this is my boss, Boss Bondet. He's the one who took me in when I got out of prison. He's a great person." said Mansur, who was trying to introduce Aldy to his boss.
Even though Aldy was silent, in his mind, he was trying hard to hold back his laughter. Boss Bondet? Why does someone who looks like a villain in action movies have such a tacky name?
But put that aside for now. Aldy showed a very sharp gaze at the person named Bondet, although without expression. He could see Bondet's current expression. It seems Bondet realized the meaning of Aldy's eyes.
Aldy did not do it to provoke, but to show that he was not an easy person. At the same time, Aldy wants to find out Bondet's reaction if he gets a sharp glare filled with killing intent.
Bondet was silent.
Or maybe not.
More precisely, that person seemed to be silenced for a moment with a sharp look from Aldy's eyes.
"Chough~…" Bondet sighed as he adjusted the bow tie around his neck. "I've heard a lot about you from Mansur. And after seeing you in person, I believe that you really are."
"Then?" asked Aldy briefly, still expressionless. But his eyes remained sharp.
"I want you to work for me. In terms of pay, you can earn twice as much as Mansur."
Aldy looked down and closed his eyes. Bondet smiled broadly, "And for the initial prize, you can choose one of the girls … No, but you can choose as many girls in this place as you like. Mansur will prepare a nice room for you."
Hearing this made Aldy open his eyes again, set his sights on Bondet, and give a big smile.
Bondet was happy to see Aldy smiling. His intention of recruiting strong people to be his subordinates might be fulfilled.
But what happened next made everyone who saw it widen in disbelief.
Duakkkk!~ …
Aldy kicked Mansur in the stomach very hard, sending him falling a few steps on the floor.
Aldy looked at Mansur with a cold gaze filled with thick killing intent. "If you invite me to a place like this, I will use your head as an accessory for my motorcycle keychain."
Aldy turned his gaze to Bondet, who looked angry. "And thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested."
Mansur held his stomach, which had been kicked very hard by Aldy. Maybe Aldy kicked him too hard, so he still feels pain until now. "Have you forgotten that we are both ex-convicts? Do you think people like us can be accepted easily in society? I can't believe you are being this naive, Aldy!"
Aldy smiled after hearing Mansur's chatter. "Naive? I feel sorry for you."
"What the fuck did you mean by that?"
"I have a family that wants to accept me. That's why I feel sorry for you."
Bondet looked at Aldy with anger. "Okay, you can go. But, once you get out of this place, don't blame me if something happens to your family."
Bathump~ …
Aldy's heart stopped beating for a split second.
Didn't he hear wrong?
There was someone who dared to threaten his family so openly like this?
The smile on Aldy's lips disappeared. Now Aldy looked at Bondet with a fierce expression. If the sharp gaze he gave earlier was only to read the situation, this time it was different.
It was the same gaze as when Aldy had made such a big mess in the prison back then.
Mansur noticed Aldy's gaze. Because at that time, Mansur almost lost his life to Aldy. At that time, Aldy got angry because someone insulted his late parents, even though it was just a joke.
But Aldy showed that gaze again right after Bondet threatened his new family.
Mansur was surprised.
He just remembered that Aldy is not a person who gets angry easily. However, one thing that can easily ignite Aldy's emotions is if it is related to the thing he considers most valuable to him.
And that thing is family.
"Try to say that again," asked Aldy to Bondet.
"I will destroy your family. Why? You don't like it?"
Bondet made a gesture with his hand. Simultaneously, about twelve people wearing expensive suits stood up. They pulled out the knife that had been hidden under their coats.
One of the twelve shouted as he lunged at Aldy, aiming his knife confidently.
Crack!~ …
Aldy dodged the knife stab that was aimed at his stomach. Quickly, he wrapped his arms around the man's neck. And in no time, Aldy turned the person's head mercilessly.
The person, who had wanted to stab Aldy, was now lying on the floor with his face almost parallel to his back. His eyes and mouth were open, but he was lifeless.
"Aaaaaaa!~ ..." shouted the woman sitting on Bondet's lap.
Two people advanced and charged towards Aldy at the same time.
Duakkkk!~ …
Mansur overthrew them with ease.
Aldy looked at Mansur, "No one asked for your help."
Mansur smiled widely. "Do you think I'll let you have all the fun yourself?"
"Isn't he your boss?"
"He's indeed my boss ... You know that I still have a mother and sister, right? I admit I'm stupid because I think money is the only thing that can keep my sister going to school. But, after seeing you not afraid to face them for the sake of your family, I became aware of one thing."
Mansur smiled with a confident expression on his face, "Even though I think I'll have to find a new job after this, just take this as an apology that I dragged you here. And made you hear that some stupid bastard is threatening your family in front of your face."
Aldy chuckled at Mansur's words.
"You talk too much." said Aldy then took a step in front of Mansur. "If you only burden me in this fight, don't blame me if I accidentally break your neck."
Bammm!~ ...
Bondet slammed the table in front of him furiously. "What are you guys doing? It's just the two of them! Kill them now!"
Aldy smiled widely.
It seemed there was a free fight to vent his frustration.
