I And the Lion of Nemea

Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Behind the Shadow

Moshi's coffee shop looked crowded that morning. Many men take the time to coffee for a moment before starting to work. In KangAgung village it is already like a culture. Coffee culture.

Coffee in KangAgung village is also unique. It is green and smells fresh. If the coffee is combined with milk it will create a savory taste that is incomparable.

The amount of milk coffee in the Moshi restaurant is also not too big. Just a little cup. With four or five strings of milk coffee is immediately exhausted. They named milk coffee with a small dose as: mix the children.

"Mix two pieces of Moshi!" Say Pantam order the typical milk coffee.

"Loooh Pantam is healed?" Ask mbak Moshi.

"It's Moshi." Answer Pantam.

That morning Pantam and Bambang coffee together. While Insur is still not awake in his room. The wounds from his fight with Ladusomg seemed to take a long time to heal.

"Now KangAgung village is finally peaceful again without upheaval huh Bambang. We can finally get comfortable again." Say Pantam opens the chat.

"Yes. But by the way - by the way now the four pillars of the Heavenly Eagle stronghold have already reduced by one. With the death of Ladusong means the four pillars of the Heavenly Eagle camp live He The Ruler of the Village, then Tengud the boss of the White Stork housing, and also Pak Kaji Dauh." Bambang chiming.

"But it could be that they will raise the four new pillars in place of the dead Ladusong." Pantam.

Their conversation stopped for a moment when Moshi came to bring two cups of milk coffee. Put the two cups of milk in front of Pantam and Bambang.

"Please enjoy the mix!" Mbak Moshi with his powerful style.

"Yes to Moshi!!!!" Say Pantam and Bambang together excitedly. Base of basket eyes! Ruahaha....

Pantam and Bambang continued their conversation after Moshi left them. Sipping coffee milk cup with pleasure.

"How plus smoking must be good to enjoy this little mix." Bambang.

Without ba bi bu again Pantam took out a pack of cigarettes. They both started smoking together. The white smoke of the cigarette began to fill the air in the room.

"Now the Insur is no longer a fugitive. So when he recovers he can start looking for work again." Bambang.

They both continued the conversation until the afternoon.

At the headquarters of the KangAgung village government looks Dipaidi who walks into a special room. The room is a private room belonging to He the Ruler of the Village.

Dipaidi knocked on the door sufficiently then immediately opened the door. Suddenly a ninja darted towards Dipaidi, pushing him to the wall by pointing a katana to Dipaidi's neck.

Dipaidi did not escape. He was cornered with a katana ready to slit his throat at any moment.

"Already! Let go of him Nin nin! He is my guest!" Snapped Him The Ruler of the Village while relaxing in his rocking chair.

A female Ninja called Nin Nin also released Dipaidi and walked casually beside Him The Ruler of the Village. Dipaidi was quite shocked as well. It turns out he has a female ninja bodyguard who has deadly speed.

"I'm sorry for what Nin Nin did. He was one of my personal bodyguards. Sit down Dipaidi, come on, just relax." Say Him casually and pour tea on a small cup.

Dipaidi received the tea and sipped it solemnly. A sense of calm began to run its body after sipping the tea.

"You have a sexy female ninja bodyguard too." Dipaidi.

"That is...." Laughter Echoes in the room.

"He also has something big." Said Dipaidi mischievously.

"Bad!" Nin Nin shouted while taking out his katana again.

"That's not what I mean! I mean power! Your strength is great!!" Shouted Dipaidi.

"Already, already... Now what's the matter that brought you here Dipaidi?" Ask Him.

"I just want to report that Ladusong has lost. She die. I've asked my men to announce his death at Oliv Square. Now the whole village of KangAgung can live a quiet life again after seeing the head of Ladusong displayed on the pole of Oliv field." Dipaidi explained.

"Good, good... With this then KangAgung village will calm down." Say Him.

They both remained silent for a moment. He The Ruler of the Village again poured tea on the empty Dipaidi cup. Dipaidi again lifted the cup and drank the warm and soothing tea.

"With Ladusong's death then the four pillars of the Heavenly Eagle's stronghold only three people remained." Said He The Ruler of the Village.

Dipaidi just fell silent. I try to guess which way the conversation is going.

"Because it's Dipaidi. I want to give you an offer. Will you be one of the four pillars of the Heavenly Eagle fortress?" Ask Him.

Dipaid silent a thousand languages. If you refuse then it is the same as challenging He The Ruler of the Village, a hundred-year-old person in this KangAgung village. Of course, the power of He cannot be underestimated because it has governed KangAgung village for hundreds of years.

Dipaidi only wants to become the supreme military commander of KangAgung village. But if he is also one of the four pillars of the Heavenly Eagle stronghold then he can be one-sided in carrying out his duties as the supreme commander of KangAgung village. Dipaidi also breathed heavily.

"I'm sorry Mr. He. I'm really, really sorry. I refused your offer." Said Dipaidi firmly.

Jawababn Dipaidi made Him The Ruler of the Village feel shocked. They both stared at each other. Dipaidi has made his choice.

A Dipaidi man entered the room in a hurry.

"Don't I tell you to wait outside!!" Bentak Dipaidi's.

"Sorry commander, there is important news. Doctor Skak broke into Anci's former office!" Said Dipaidi's men's police quickly.

"What the hell else is this?!" Said Dipaidi while standing directly from his seat.

And.....

Syyraaaaaattt.....

The chief of Dipaidi's men's police was immediately beheaded by Nin Nin. Dipaidi. The head fell to the floor. Blood flowed on the floor made of wood.

"sorry. All I ask is you, not your men." Say He's The Ruler of the Village.

Dipaidi restrained his anger. He could not have fought Him The Ruler of the Village. Eve intimidated from Him so strongly felt in the room.

"Now I ask Dipaidi again. Will you be one of the four pillars of the Heavenly Eagle fortress in place of Ladusong?" Ask Him.

Nin nin advanced and pointed his katana at Dipaidi's neck. But Dipaidi had already rounded up his resolve. Those who have the will will will never be afraid to die.

"My answer remains the same. No!!!" Shouted Dipaidi firmly.

Dipaidi immediately held Nin's hand and slammed it onto the floor. Nin nin rolled over then he quickly got back up and prepared to attack.

"Nin Nin is enough! I appreciate your decision Dipaidi. Now you can go." Order Him The Ruler of the Village.

Dipaidi saluted He The Ruler of the Village then quickly stepped away towards Anci's former office.

"Why did you prevent me from killing him? Didn't he refuse to join the Heavenly Eagle's stronghold?" Nin asked after Dipaidi was not in the room.

"Now the village is in chaos. If we kill him, then the situation of KangAgung village will be even more chaotic. For a while let it be like this. Besides the news about Doctor Skak's movements made me suspicious. You followed Dipaidi to Anci's former office. Just get it from far away." Order Him The Ruler of the Village.

"Ready!!" Nin Nin replied that immediately darted behind the shadow.
