The Meaning Of A Promise And Revenge

"I think you're mistaken, sir." She said protesting, "First, I never promised to meet your son before. I also didn't know that the little guy was looking for me, right? Then how can you make me feel like I'm the criminal and you're the victim?"

"Second, and what you have to remember is this. I never break my promises to anyone because I have taken responsibility for every promise I make."

Viona took a few steps forward to close the distance between them. Now she stood directly facing Joe's face boldly.

"A promise is a fixed price and that belief has flowed in my body since I was born. Please remember that and stop speaking to judge others."

"I go." 

Viona stated her protest firmly in front of Joe's face. The bold woman left a strong impression on herself. Once again, she confirmed to Joe that Viona is a unique woman with an unusual personality.

A half hour's journey was more than enough for Viona to arrive at her flower shop. There, Jansen was seen waiting for her. 

Listening seriously to Jansen's explanation about their client along with the profile of the client and the target they want to arrest, Viona decided not to postpone her meeting with their client.

Jansen started to drive his car quickly, breaking the silence of the night until finally, their car entered a sparkling area lit by many decorative lights along the road.

They stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant, Viona was prepared by wearing a mask on her face.

"Are you sure this is the meeting place? Don't you see that this place is very bright to discuss dirty matters ordered by the Old Man?" Viona scolded Jansen.

"I wasn't the one who asked to meet here, Boss. The person said that he was afraid to meet in a dark and quiet place. It's said that he always hides in a quiet place so that his hunters can't catch him." Jansen explained.

Viona took a deep breath before finally accepting the annoying situation, "Never mind, let's go in." She continued inviting Jansen to come down immediately.

But just as she got out and closed the car door, Viona's eyes accidentally glanced to her left, where a man was wearing a thick coat that covered almost his entire body. His face was also covered by a mask. Only his eyes, which looked bruised and blue, were visible to Viona. And again, there were silver pierced earrings that caught Viona's eyes.

The man's strange glance at the front entrance of the restaurant made Viona frown. Especially when Viona directed her gaze at the man's hand, which had been tucked under his coat.

'Knife? What does that man want?' Viona muttered suspiciously. She then turned for a moment to Jansen who had just approached her after parking the car not far away.

"Jansen, look at your nine o'clock," Viona said to Jansen calmly.

At first, Jansen was a little confused when he saw the man his boss was referring to, but soon Jansen gasped a little when he realized something, "H-him?"

"Hmm, you know what you have to do, right?" Viona asked.

"Don't know yet, boss."

"Geez, why are you so slow in thinking?" Viona grumbled immediately. She even massaged her temples which felt throbbing. 

"You take the knife, you keep him safe at our place for a while. Since we don't know both sides of the story, we can't take sides before getting to the root of the problem between the two."

"I also don't want to be blamed if he causes problems later."

Jansen responded to his boss's instructions without answering, he just nodded.

"Do not be long. I don't want to go in if you're not finished yet. I'll wait in the car." Viona spoke again before walking nonchalantly towards the parking lot.

"So, what about our clients, Boss?"

"If he can't wait, just leave him. Don't bother with it," she replied nonchalantly and continued walking, ignoring Jansen.

Her assistant could only scratch his hair which wasn't itchy, but after that Jansen smiled looking at his boss's back, "Thank you, boss. Finally, my stiff body can stretch a little."

What Jansen said was true. It had been a long time since he had carried out a mission like this time. Since he was assigned to look after Viona, he has never done any heavy physical activity. Just regular exercise cannot satisfy the body to move more. Jansen needs things to be more challenging for him.

Previously, in Bangkok. The dashing man was busy. Beating up people and gang enemies in a day can even exceed the number of fingers. Even playing cat and mouse with the police was fun for him. 

This is all because Jansen is a close confidant and distant nephew of Viona's father. However, he had to end all this busyness since Viona's father or Big Boss sent him to accompany Viona to Indonesia.

So, he had to obey what Viona told him. Stillness is stillness, and movement means pleasure.

Now Jansen smiled devilishly as he glanced at the strange man whose face he recognized as his target.

"But why does it have to be this fast? I want things to be more challenging. I hope you don't disappoint me, old bastard." he muttered as he started walking closer to his target.

Jansen approached and was now standing next to a man whose face was partially covered by a fused beard and mustache. The man was shocked when he realized Jansen's sudden arrival beside him. He reflexively took a step back before turning around to leave there.

However, Jansen's hand quickly grabbed the man's shoulder, "Where are you going, old man? I'm talking to you." 

"Be a little polite to your elders, son. And I'm telling you, we don't know each other so we have nothing to talk about." the man in his fifties answered coldly.

Jansen could clearly see the red look in his eyes. It was a look of anger and revenge, but Jansen didn't care.

"Maybe you don't, but my boss wants to meet you. Just obey and make things easier." Jansen spoke coldly. His smile was still there, but it was even scarier. Like the Angel of Death who keeps smiling before killing his target.

Before the old man could respond, Jansen had already delivered a fatal blow to the stomach until the old man immediately weakened and fainted.
