River spoke with sarcasm while standing right in front of Luke who was lying on the ground. Their eyes met and looked at each other sharply.
Luke clenched his hands tightly, his jaw hardened full of emotion with a crimson face extinguished.
"Brengs*ek! How dare you treat me like this!" his yell in annoyance made River laugh.
"Aargha!" Luke squealed in pain as River again kicked his stomach firmly.
Unmercifully, River pulls Luke's shirt collar and drags him to a pole.
"Aargha!" For the third time Luke returned in pain.
Luke's men are no longer able to protect him due to attacks that come in a row, especially with the reinforcements from Sasa who managed to blow up the cars containing his men.
Ryder and Junior are not going to lose either. They take all of Luke's remaining men down until there is no one to fight, and Vano and Eric take their chances in the explosion.
Prok, prok, prok.
"Great, great," cried Caldo as he clapped his hands firmly. He was happy with the victory he got, moreover he managed to destroy Luke's headquarters until it was like that.
Caldo then turned to Luke who was still on the ground, clearly the anger and hatred in the eyes of the man made his heart very happy.
"How, Luke? Do you like what I'm doing?" ask Caldo with a cynical smile.
Luke gnashed his teeth with fierce flaming eyes looking at the biad*ab man, but at the moment he could do nothing more as he was already completely desperate.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Caldo immediately ordered his men to snatch Luke and take the man to the base, where he was, of course he still has to teach Luke a lesson until the man chooses to die.
Eventually the fight is over and won by River and the others, and Ryder and Eric join Caldo to overthrow Luke.
"Thank you, I truly acknowledge the greatness of all of you" Caldo told everyone he has worked with, especially Vano, Zafran, and River, who joined him for the first time.
Everyone seemed to shake their heads. "I also thank you for being willing to help us, Sir." Vano was truly grateful.
Caldo nodded and extended his hand to Vano. "It's nice to work with you, I hope someday we can meet again."
Vano smiled as he accepted Caldo's helping hand. "Hopefully, Sir. I'll always remember your help."
Eric and Rayder smile happily when they see Vano and Caldo shaking hands with each other, because someday they will certainly be interconnected even if only limited to business.
Caldo turned to look at Eric and Ryder. "I'm also happy to be back working with you, Eric. It was unexpected that your son would grow up to be a great man, and if he was willing to come with me, then he would definitely become the greatest man on this plains." He said seriously.
Eric smiled when he heard it, glanced at Rayder, then looked back at Caldo. "I'm also glad to be able to serve you again, Sir. But sorry, I can't take off my precious son."
Caldo immediately laughed when he heard it. "Right as well, he was a very precious son. You must be proud to have it." He took a step forward and patted Ryder on the shoulder.
Ryder nodded her head. "I still have a lot to learn, sir. I don't-"
Ryder could not continue when she heard the voice of a very familiar woman in the ear, she turned to her right, as well as everyone in the place.
"Yes-Yara?" vano said with surprise when he saw the whereabouts of his daughter in that place.
Similar to the papa, Zafran also seemed surprised when he saw the existence of the brother. Why did her brother get to this place?
"Father, Zafran!" call Yara back while running towards Vano and Zafran. A moment later, Zayyan appeared who was coming along with him as well.
"Dear." Vano's body was immediately hugged very tightly by Yara who was currently sobbing, she then returned the embrace of her daughter while trying to calm her down.
"Thank God Papa is fine" said Yara, sobbing bitterly, she felt very worried.
Vano stretched out her arms and then held onto both of Yara's shoulders. "Papa's fine, honey. Don't cry anymore."
Yara nodded despite still crying with sobbing, she then turned to look at Zafran who was also looking at her.
"Zafran!" yara exclaimed as she walked towards the sister and hugged her tightly.
Zafran also hugged his brother's body warmly. "Don't cry, Ma'am. We're all fine." He tried to calm down. "But why is Mama here?"
Yara stretched her arms when she heard the sister's question. "Mbak went along with Zayyan." He replied as he glanced at Zayyan who instantly got a sharp gaze from Zafran as well as their papa.
Yara then turned to approach River who was smiling towards her. He also hugged the man who was already considered to be his own father with great gratitude, while the others continued to stare at him sharply. Especially Ryder who could not blink both eyes at all.
"He's Vano's son?" ask Caldo who does not know Yara.
Eric nodded his head. "Yes, Sir. She's their family's eldest daughter."
"Ah, so so." Caldo nodded his head. "She's so pretty, what is she-"
"She's my future wife, sir," Ryder quickly and forcefully cut open to make everyone turn their heads straight at her, including Yara.
"He ... your future wife?" caldo asked in surprise and disbelief.
Everyone stared at Rayder sharply, especially Yara who was staring with her chest pounding waiting for an answer from him.
"True, she is my future wife, and after this I will marry her."
