How to Get Rich: BREATHE

Chapter 42 Arrypto's Rage

Aripto pushed a newspaper that was in front of him, towards Andi. Andi was confused by what her father was doing. The young man then saw the news on the front page of the newspaper.

Son of Mayor Marcel Sanjaya Reported to Police

This is news from Jony's reporting to the police. Is his father angry about this? Isn't that not a problem? Andi didn't beat Jony up, preferring to settle the matter to the legal track rather than using his hands.

Her father had all this time taught her not to use her powers against those who were weaker. Martial abilities should be used as the name implies, defensively, not to beat up others. Didn't Andi do that? So what's it about reporting Jony to the police that made her father angry?

As if he could read his son, Aripto spoke to Andi. “Read the bottom news on the front page. After you read that, you will definitely find out why we asked you to talk to us.” Say Aripto with still using a flat tone.

Andi then obeyed the words of his father. He read other news that was still on the front page. Andi was quite shocked by the headline that was there.

Child of Prospective Mayor Marcel Sanjaya Hospitalized

“You beat up your friend?” ask Aripto after seeing the change in Andi's face. The man guessed that his eldest son had read the news.

“No dad. I didn't beat up Jony, I just beat up the thugs who were gonna beat me up. Even against those thugs, I did not use deadly attacks. So, I'm not the one who beat them up. That night I left him with his thugs, maybe they beat up Jony.”

“What is true you say?”

“Really my father didn't lie to you. I did not put my hand on them. Even if I had to teach them a lesson, I wouldn't have been so cruel. Break their bones? I wouldn't do that.”

Andi read the news carefully. There it is said that Jony was in a semi-conscious state when found in an old warehousing area. He suffered broken legs and arms. Not only that, Jony's ribs also suffered a crack.

Rendi also experienced things that are not much different from Jony. Both of his legs were broken, he could be said to be much luckier than Jony. When it was discovered the young man was still in a conscious state. Rendilah called the ambulance to take the two of them away from there.

“I didn't beat them up like that dad. Sungup.” Andi tried to convince her father.

“I know you didn't beat them up. But, I also know that you have also had those thugs beat them up.”

Andi narrowed his eyes hearing Aripto's words. “What father mean? I sent those goons? I just don't know those thugs. Then, how can I get those thugs to beat up Jony and Rendi. That's very unlikely dad.”

Andi could not believe her father would accuse her like that. He still upholds his father's teaching not to use his power to beat others. Had all this time his father could not see that he still uphold the teaching.

How many times did Andi get into a fight. However, during the fight Andi never beat his opponent to make them need to be taken to the hospital. Andi can control his power.

At worst, the young man would only leave bruises on his opponents, never even if Andi gave wounds that made them enter the hospital. Is his track record so far unbelievable?

Brakes….

The dining table in their home was instantly broken after receiving a blow from Aripto. It was a table of teak wood with a thickness of five centimeters. Imagine how much energy it would take to do that.

Seeing his father angry like that, Andi got up from his seat. Anisa who was also there also chose to stand up and take some back, slightly away from her husband who was currently angry.

“Don't dodge it.” Aripto pointed towards Andi.

“I, I didn't do that. Really dad, I didn't do it.”

“Do not argue with me. I know all that. You used your identity as Burhan's nephew, as an excuse for the thugs to beat up your friends. One of them has met me and asked for an opinion, whether we are satisfied with their work. Now what do you want to avoid?”

Andi was speechless after hearing what Aripto said. Indeed, the young man did not give any orders to them to beat up Jony and Rendi. The thugs beat both of them based on their own initiative.

And when they reported this to Aripto, it was like a statement that Andi had given orders to them, using his identity as Burhan's nephew. Andi did not do it at all. The young man even found out that Jony and Rendi were in the hospital.

“When you made business together with Brian, I was so happy. Especially when you know that the business provides a great advantage. But it seems you are not satisfied with the income of the business. You now hope to make more money by joining those thugs?”

“Why do fathers talk like that?” Andi's question was filled with disbelief. “I'm satisfied, very satisfied even with my business with Brian. Our shop is now under renovation. I am very satisfied with what I have. Then, why did you accuse me of joining those thugs to make more money.”

“Heh.” Aripto grunting. “Accusingly? I'm not accusing you. That's a fact. Last Sunday you went to Surabaya, right? You go home with that much clothing. Where's that money you used to buy all those new clothes?”

Aripto raised his index finger towards Andi. Asking his eldest son to shut up and let himself finish his words. “Don't tell me that it's all second-hand clothes. I wouldn't believe it.” Said Aripto firmly.

“What kind of used clothes have colors as good as new clothes. Not only that, the clothes are the latest edition of clothes sold in the Sun. Does Matahari now sell used clothes? Don't say such stupid things.”

Andi just kept her head down. He could not dispute what his father said about it. The young man forgot that in his city there is also a mall that has a Sun outlet there. His father, who is clearly an online motorcycle taxi driver, has certainly often been in and out of the mall to take food orders. Surely his father saw the resemblance of the clothes he brought home with the clothes that were there.

“Your mother said she hasn't sent her business profits to you yet. Then where do you get that kind of money to buy clothes?”

“That, i...” Andi was confused what to say to her parents. He did not think his parents would pierce him with the question of the origin of his money. All the excuses he had prepared for seemed to just disappear. Andi could not answer questions from both her parents.

Seeing his son who could not answer and just lowered his head, Aripto knew that his eldest son had confessed that he had made a mistake.

“I've guessed, that you won't be able to tell us the origin of the money. I didn't expect you to do something that disappointed us so much like this.”
