"He's the guy! He's the mastermind of all this!" Sven snapped while pointing at Felix's face.

　

　

Givar was surprised and turned to Felix with an expression of disbelief.

　

　

"He's been spying on us all along. He sent the man who had entered your house. He made mama an accident! He!" Sven wants to hit Felix again, but Givar is still trying to hold him back.

　

　

Felix tried to get up. His hands are on the table. Fresh blood flowed from his nose.

　

　

"Sven, what if you're wrong? He is not a random person, we can be in trouble if you wrong people," Bisik Givar.

　

　

"The cave won't be wrong!" Jerky Sven.

　

　

Feeling noticed by the people in the room, Sven showed a sharp look to all of them.

　

　

"You're out of this room in a matter of three, one...." Before Sven mentioned the two, everyone scattered out.

　

　

Sven closed the door of the room by slamming it. He pointed at the chair, Felix understood. He sat down while still grimacing his nose.

　

　

"Emmm... Mr. Donovan, just tell me. Are you the one?" Asked Givar who was still half-believing and half-doubting.

　

　

Sven threw a handkerchief at Felix's face, "Take this, talk fast!".

　

　

Felix wiped his blood and said, "Why suddenly accuse me? I don't know anything."

　

　

Sven screeched while throwing his face away in annoyance. "Not to confess?"

　

　

"What am I supposed to say? I'm not doing anything, I'm just a regular businessman. I heard about the accident yesterday when we were at the restaurant. But, I'm not involved with any of that." Felix defended himself.

　

　

Givar glanced at Sven and Felix alternately.

　

　

"So, you mean lo.. lo it's a clean businessman who is far from evil? Lo sure? Want the cave to open here just all your crimes?" Ask Sven.

　

　

Felix did not answer. He just looked at Sven.

　

　

"Every cave is in Jakarta, you must go to New York. Every cave goes to New York, you go back to Jakarta. Wh why? Because you know, the cave again studied lo. Yesterday the cave wants to go to New York, you calmly stay in Jakarta and tell people to harm your mother. Therefore, the cave did not go to New York, and we finally met here. Now say yes!"

　

　

"What is it? I really don't know what you're talking about" Felix replied.

　

　

Sven is about to hit Felix in the face, but Givar pulls Sven on the shoulder.

　

　

"The oven!" Bentak Givar's.

　

　

"Mr Hardiswara, let's go to the police. I don't accept being treated like this. You should be able to be firm in your own office. He's just your brother-in-law, not your boss, right?" felix said as he looked at Givar with a disappointed look.

　

　

Givar will speak, however....

　

　

"There was no going to the police station. They will definitely defend you, because you have already given money to them!" Sambar Sven's.

　

　

Felix grumbled softly, "You'll be sorry! I'll take this to court."

　

　

"Take this to court? Go ahead, your crimes will all be exposed. Wait, you're gonna pay them again, right? Ah, you fucking rat." Sven patted his own forehead.

　

　

"You've dealt with the wrong man" angered Felix who was completely on the verge of his patience.

　

　

Sven threw the documents to the table. Givar looked over and opened it. It's not like the paperwork in general, but the investigation information that Sven's confidants did.

　

　

"In 2007, the Donovan company went bankrupt, as did the Gustiar family company. Lo and papa did the cooperation. Everything went well until 2008 when the two companies started to move forward. But. lo began to lazily cooperate with papa cave company. I want to end the cooperation. After the breakup, Gustiar's company went bankrupt. Papa begged you not to stop the cooperation." Sven took a breath for a moment. He turned his back on Felix and Givar who were focusing on reading.

　

　

"Lo agreed to re-establish cooperation.but, without shame, you asked 14-year-old Shasha to be your wife!" Sven snapped as he turned to look at Felix's face.

　

　

Givar was wide-eyed, he had not expected Felix to recognize Shasha before. Givar begins to suspect Felix like Sven. Especially listen... want to marry her?

　

　

Does that mean Felix likes Shasha?

　

　

It is clear that their age difference. Probably 15 years.

　

　

Sven kicked Felix in the chest until he fell down along with his chair.

　

　

Givar was surprised, he felt Sven's attitude was too excessive. Givar helps Felix stand up, but Felix brushes his hand away. The man got up while holding his chest that felt tight.

　

　

Felix said, "That's true! Since Adam Gustiar didn't give your brother away, I didn't continue working with him. Adam Gustiar chose to cooperate with the company Mahali and Danamaha at that time. But, is it just because of this that you suspect the wrong person? Think every incident was my doing? My past need not be attributed to this, as it has absolutely nothing to do!"

　

　

"The cave is never wrong! The cave instinct is always right!"

　

　

Givar did not give any reaction. He could only listen and restrain his sister-in-law from acting rashly.

　

　

Again Sven threw the documents to the table. He spoke again like a police officer interrogating the suspect, "In 2014, Nicholas Donovan died, the high school he built belonged to Felix Donovan. In the same year, Svender Adideva Gustiar applied to the businessman's High School. For three years, he was the month-to-month of another student, but the boy behaved well. That was also on your orders, right? In 2015, heartlessly, you told people to kill a girl from the same High School by cutting her tongue for nearly leaking your evil lo into a cave."

　

　

Silent.

　

　

Givar fell silent with an illegible expression.

　

　

Feeling that no one was responding, Sven again threw another document at the table. He spoke again, "In 2016, you started to unleash terror. It starts with the cave, papa, mama. Red roses, black roses, letter, package. You also made the accident happen, Refandi Glend was killed."

　

　

Givar did not expect, Sven's excuses and accusations sounded very convincing. He did not expect Sven's ability to collect it all with the help of his confidants.

　

　

If Felix was like that, Givar really didn't think. Felix is a kind and friendly businessman.

　

　

Givar's daydreams ran out when he heard Sven's voice, "That's the strongest proof. There is actually a lot of other evidence. Now the cave wants to ask, why lo neror cave with Shasha? We have nothing wrong with you. We didn't know anything and we were kids."

　

　

Felix took a deep breath.

　

　

Sven brought his face closer to Felix's. He looked at Felix full of suspicion, "Taste, our goal lo neror so that we lose our minds and crazy. Why have you come so far?"

　

　

Felix threw his face away in annoyance, "I told you, I'm not involved with your family matters."

　

　

Sven grinned coldly. He didn't give up and still wanted to fling Felix with all his questions, "Lo really likes to shave the hair of people you hate and cut their necks, right? You also said you wanted to do that to the cave."

　

　

Felix furrowed his brows, "What are you talking about?"

　

　

"Oh yes, there's more. At that time, you came to the police station, right? Bribing them so they don't continue the investigation. You killed that guy so we couldn't get any info!" Sven shook his head while clucking softly.

　

　

Felix shook his head, "That's not true. I'm not like that, I'm not that person."

　

　

Sven took something out of his pants pocket. Farther paper. He showed it to Givar and Felix.

　

　

Felix.

　

　

　

　

"Will you defend yourself?" Ask Sven.

　

　

Givar looked at Felix while shaking in disbelief.

　

　

Where did he get that paper?

　

　

So, while at the police station, Sven saw a small piece of paper in the trash can. He felt it was important. When Givar was busy cursing and pulling the police suit, he picked up the piece of paper.

　

　

At his home, Sven painstakingly arranged the pieces of paper until they formed as before.

　

　

"Wheel in court?" Ask Sven.

　

　

"What you've been talking about since then is nothing more than an accusation. You just thought I did it. What real evidence did you find? A fingerprint? THE CCTV? The witness? THE DNA? What did you find?"

　

　

Sven scoffed, "What evidence? What the cave explained just now was the proof."

　

　

"You have no proof. Okay, we're going to court."

　

　

~

　

　

In court, the trial was held behind closed doors, due to the request of both parties. Considering both of them were someone who came from a large family who had high status and reputation.

　

　

Everything present.

　

　

At the trial, Sven met directly with his parents. Sarah was eager to hug her son. However, Sven could not meet before the trial was over.

　

　

When Adam and Felix make eye contact, something is implied in each other's gaze.

　

　

Shasha and Givar seemed unable to sit quietly. Sven and Givar keep a secret about Felix who once wanted to make Shasha his wife. They did not want Shasha to be further burdened and frightened.

　

　

Juan and Yelma also looked serious. They were present as part of the Sven family.

　

　

Amelia was also present. He still doesn't believe Felix committed a crime all this time. The man who is known to be friendly and kind can even cover it up.

　

　

As the trial progressed, Sven's lawyer and Felix's lawyer argued.

　

　

Sven's lawyers showed documents from Sven's three-year investigation.

　

　

Felix's lawyer didn't accept that. He thought the documents were fake.

　

　

Things are getting hotter.

　

　

However, the results of the trial stated Felix could not be found guilty. What Sven's side has filed is an accusation without any real evidence. There must be a follow-up investigation.

　

　

So, the decision of the trial should be postponed for a while.

　

　

After the trial, Donovan's company severed its cooperative relationship with Hardiswara's company. The relationship between the two became less good, but it was not a problem for a big company like Hardiswara.

　

　

But, because of that too, Gustiar's family relationship became somewhat awkward with the Hardiswara family.

　

　

There is a positive side though a little. Gustiar's family was happy, because their eldest son had returned. Especially after finding out if Sven cares so much for his family even investigating everything alone.

　

　

Sarah could not stop crying because she was happy to see her son at home. He did not want to close his eyes to sleep. He did not want his son to leave again when both his eyes were closed.

　

　

"You were mad to leave for three years?" Sarah asked, wiping her tears many times. Sven hugged his mother, "I'm not angry.I just went and wanted to investigate this until it's over."

　

　

"Don't go again. If you get angry again, Mama will get angry with you, too" grumbled Sarah.

　

　

Sven laughing.

　

　

Adam asks his son to stay home, but Sven refuses.

　

　

"I won't calm down, if Felix is still roaming free. I want him to really get his punishment." Sven clenched his hands furiously.

　

　

Adam pats Sven on the shoulder, "Papa will tell people to take care of this. You need to rest. Three years you've been investigating this alone. You must be tired, son."

　

　

"Three years I felt the pain. The three years that were yesterday were no more terrible than the three years before."

　

　

There's nothing more to say. Adam kept silent and watched his son leave the house again.

　

　

However, this time Sven's communication with his family improved. He always calls and gives us news. He was tired of seeing his parents worry.

　

　

Sven told Froy to come to his apartment. They talked about the same case.

　

　

"Felix Donovan is a respected man. He has many connections, including police and high-ranking state officials." Froy showed me his laptop screen.

　

　

"Hell, he's really like a gangster."

　

　

"Cause, your accusation slightly missed. What if he's not the one? You might be in trouble."

　

　

"Gua's sure he's the one, who else, try? The cave is fully convinced" Sven denied.

　

　

Froy turned his head to the left, "Actually, if for example he is not the mastermind of the lo family case, there are many crimes that have been committed before he disturbed the lo family. The police and the authorities should have kissed his crime. So, the police can arrest him for his crimes."

　

　

Sven muttered softly, "As you said earlier, the connection is too much."

　

　

Froy confirmed, "Yes, besides, he has a charismatic face and a good attitude in public. So, people won't suspect him."

　

　

"The foul shits must be opened."

　

　

Silent.

　

　

All that was heard in the room was the sound of typing on a laptop keyboard. Froy looked serious.

　

　

"Hopefully you don't miss, yes. The cave has to go home, it's a shame." Froy took care of his things.

　

　

"Be careful, you live alone, right?" Froy asked as he spread his gaze to every corner of the room.

　

　

Sven nodded as he looked at the wall clock that showed at 11 p.m.

　

　

"Why not come home tomorrow? Your house is far away, Froy," said Sven

　

　

"Certainly, the cave has to be here?" Grouser Froy. Sven raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

　

　

"How do you think neighbors, try? Guys nginep in a guy's apartment, let alone lo famous single," grumbled Froy.

　

　

Sven snorted in annoyance, "Yes there, if you want to go home."

　

　

"Yes, yes."
