Between Guns and Roses

Robertino's Request

Pedro still noticed the figure of an Asian-faced man plastered on his big screen.

"I know he's a Yakuza from Japan" Dong Shu replied to Pedro's question.

"Yakuza?" Pedro was shocked.

"When has Pablo worked with the Yakuza? Or maybe" his mind suddenly wandered back into the past.

The Flashback

"Pedro, please save Antonio! Take her to a safe place!" Robertino says, handing Antonio over to Pedro.

Antonio, who was 7 years old, knew nothing, he was still innocent. He did not know that his father was an associate member, all he knew was an ordinary father who loved the family.

"Where are you going?" Pedro asked to try to stop Robertino from leaving.

"I have to protect what I have to protect! I won't let that traitor get what they want!" Robertino said firmly.

"Robertino Fernando, calm yourself for a moment! We can devise a strategy to defeat the traitor" Pedro tries to persuade.

"No! I have learned that if he has conspired with Kenjiro, then I will finish him off before it is too late" Robertino insisted.

That day Robertino looked angry when he saw the whole house was disheveled. While inspecting the contents of the house, he finds Antonio crying in the wardrobe.

If Antonio hadn't gone into hiding, it would have seemed like he would have been targeted by Pablo and Kenjiro. Of course, he would not be able to tell all these events to his father.

"Take care of yourself, son, you must obey Uncle Pedro! Understood?" Robertino gave a tip while stroking Antonio's hair.

"One day you will know who I really am, study hard and practice hard to become a great and invincible person!" Robertino said softly to Antonio.

"Pedro! Once the time comes, take Antonio to the association academy! Teach him to be the best student there! I want him to continue what I'm doing" he said, patting Pedro on the shoulder.

Pedro just sighed not saying anything to see the behavior of his partner and best friend.

"Wait a minute!" Said Robertino while leaving Pedro who was with Antonio.

Pedro looked around the house, the house that was often used as an association meeting place now looks like a ship broke. When all the members are on a mission, this house is indeed empty and will be crowded again after they return home to complete the mission.

Shortly after, Robertino was seen walking hastily towards Pedro while carrying a map of a bag.

"I want you to keep this file!" Robertino said, handing over a map to Pedro.

Pedro gasped in shock as he received the map. He knew very well that what he was holding right now was what everyone was looking for, even by the association itself.

"Are you sure?" Pedro asked astonished.

"Yes, you're the only one I trust right now. No one has the right to keep a secret other than the one I really trust, you," Robertino replied.

Pedro breathed for a moment.

"Nobody knows but Antonio! Promise me! That if the time is right you will give it," Robertino said with a hint of coercion..

"What do you mean?" Pedro's confused.

"Easy! Promise me you'll help me!" Answer Robertino.

Pedro took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind.

"Well, I promise I'll give you this file if your son is ready to receive it! I will keep all the secrets of what I know, and will not find out what I should not know" Pedro said firmly.

Robertino was moved to hear Pedro's words, he did not expect that a Pedro would help him.

"Gracias, amigos! (Thank you, buddy!)" slowly said.

Then he picked up the bag he had prepared beforehand.

"Where are you going?" Ask Pedro who is surprised.

"I can't accept that the traitor keeps looking for information about me, even to the point of ransacking my house" replied Robertino.

"I'm going after Pablo and Kenjiro!" he said loudness.

Pedro understands the nature of Robertino who impressed stubborn. He can do nothing, even prevent being unable to.

As at the moment, Pedro only resigned to Robertino's decision. He would only care for and care for Antonio until he was 10 years old, then enter him into an association academy according to his father's wishes.

Flashback Off

Pedro flinched from daydreams about his past when he heard Jian Chen call out his name.

"Pedro! You okay?" Chen asked as he patted Pedro's shoulder.

"Oh, no. I'm fine" Pedro replied, wiping his face.

Jian Chen simply nodded then returned to his seat.

Pedro then continued to play the video, now appears a Pablo who is counting money in a suitcase.

"He's the guy we're looking for right now" Pedro said, pointing to the screen and stopping the video.

The entire eyes of the association members were fixed on him as if agreeing with what he was saying.

"Now we know his hiding place, and make sure he's alive" he added.

"I thank the three of you" he said, staring at the three branch members from China.

"Because if we don't ask the other members for help, it's very difficult for us to infiltrate Pablo's base. In addition to the faces of the three of you who look foreign, they are also very easily fooled by money" Pedro explained at length.

All the members present were silent to hear and pay attention to what Pedro said. No one dared to speak, because everything Pedro conveyed was important information.

Pablo walked towards Marcello and Takagawa who were practicing the sword.

"Good training" he praised.

"Boss!" Say hello Marcello while bowing his body salute.

"Mrs. Pablo, I was surprised by the unexpected arrival of the ands" Takagawa said with a smile.

Pablo just kept quiet, he then grabbed the sword that was being grasped by his men.

"The sword is quite good" he said, noting the parts of the sword that are now in his grasp.

"Can I try it?" Pablo asked coldly.

As Takagawa and Marcello become shocked by the attitude of the Black Shadow leader, they do not expect that a Pablo will train with them both.

"Please Mr. Pablo," Takagawa replied, bowing his head.

"Take care of me Marcello!" Pablo said firmly.

Then he walked closer to the bamboo rinses that lined up quite a lot.

"How much bamboo is this?" Ask Pablo to Takagawa.

"One tie there are ten bamboos, Mr. Pablo," Takagawa replied.

Pablo slowly took a breath, feeling the swirling air around him. Slowly he grabbed her hand.

"Yahyaaaaat!!!"

He shouted loudly as he swung his sword blade smashing into the Bamboo before him. Many times he drew his sword up to the ten bamboos into small pieces.

Takagawa seemed amazed by Pablo's ability, he only saw Pablo playing a weapon this time. It is terrible, no doubt if the former association members are very proficient in using any weapon like its chairman, Kenjiro.

Likewise Marcello, he was no less surprised when he saw his big boss playing a weapon. All this time he only knew if a Pablo just sat and ruled, not playing a weapon like now.

The two men slowly felt the horror of Pablo's vexed and intimidating gaze.
