The afternoon looked so bright. The temperature wasn't as hot as it was this afternoon. Nugi, suspicious of Chici's attitude, soon goes to meet Fazriel and her older sister.
Fazriel is still in prison, he will not be able to go free before his sentence has not ended or Chici himself who released him. Chici asked the authorities not to release Fazriel without his permission or before his sentence ended even if someone wanted to pay his bail.
The concerned party also did not dare to argue, let alone their superiors had agreed to Chici's request. As a result Fazriel will not be free for another 6 months.
"Sister, I suspect Chici already knows our plan. What do we do now?"
It seems obvious that Nugi is very worried that his plan to take over Chici's treasure will be uncovered.
"How could he possibly know?" Fazriel didn't believe it.
"I just met him this afternoon. And she's acting like she's fine, but I know very well Chici's nature. He must be hiding something. I'm afraid he knows everything"
"Calm down. If he really knows, why not just act like Fazriel?" melisa said calmly.
"really. Even if he knows, then Farka won't stay silent right ?" Fazriel looked towards Melisa.
"Yes. He's the one who can't wait."
"Maybe I think too much about it. But really, Chici's attitude is weird. He kept avoiding me these few days."
Melisa promises to try to remove suspicion from Farka and Chici. Only then can Nugi calm down.
Fazriel must return to the cell because the time is up. He asked the two of them to finish it.

"Look, don't you feel that Fazriel is now of no use in our plans?" Melisa asked in the middle of the trip.
"Ehh? I didn't think about it until then, brother. But come to think of it too. Now that he's under arrest, how can he help us?"
Nugi scratched his head that was not itchy after realizing it. Melisa was silent for a moment.
"What if we don't have to take him on this plan? He just makes me dizzy. I just have to go there to see him. Isn't that totally useless?" Melisa said to her heart.
"Good idea, brother. Yes, now what should we do? I failed to persuade him to have dinner together." Nugi hit the steering wheel of the car.
"Why?" Ask Melisa in wonder. He knew Chici had never turned down Nugi's invitation to the road before.
"Say there will be a show with his friends. But I'm sure it's just an excuse so he doesn't walk with me. And again he went with a man while chatting with me. Then he said his mother was having something.It seems strange today, but only now to see me after I came home. Well at least chat with me" Nugi spoke at length.
"What's? Hey don't tell me you're really in love with her?!" Melisa's snapping on Nugi's shoulder.
"Hehe. No, yeah maybe because I'm used to being spoiled with her so it's like this. I don't understand my own feelings either, brother"
"You are not reliable." Chirps Melisa's upset.

Time goes by so fast. Chici is giving orders to Zhan, Wixi, Toni, Gilfa, Veli and Hendra at his house.
They were gathering in the living room, enjoying the juice relieving the drought in his throat while waiting for Chici to come down.
"Has everyone gathered?" Chici asked as she went down the stairs.
"Already, Bos." Zhan replied while standing followed by the others.
"Have not been too formal in my house" said Chici, who saw all his envoys bowing respectfully.
Chici who unintentionally saw Wixi's happy expression was a little astonished. But he doesn't bother her much. Chici sat down and followed the others.
"There's something important I need to discuss with all of you. I need your opinion before I tell the others this." Chici began his talk.
"What's important, Boss?" Hendra's question represented another one.
"Look. I'm sure you already know I have the power of the reincarnation of Goddess Ryuu. This power will disappear after I get married and..Leo will die along with the loss of my powers" Chici said.
They know that Leo means a lot to Chici. But they did not understand the direction of the conversation.
"So what should we do?" It was Wixi's turn that represented their question.
"I must go to the cursed island" Chici said softly but was still heard by them.
"What?" ask them in unison.
"The Lotus Fire Island.. I have to go there to get the flowers."
"No,bos. I don't agree. I heard that place is very dangerous. Lots of great people came to the island but no one came back perfectly." Wixi's protest sounded furious.
"Why are you angry?" Chici's question is getting weird with Wixi.
"Umm.i-it..." Wixi can't answer Chici's question.
"But what Wixi said was right boss. After all, the boss is still married for a long time, the age of the boss is still so young." The other one is back on topic.
"I knew. But the flower only grows once every 5 years. Who knows if I got married first, right? There's no other choice for me to save Leo."
They fell silent realizing what Chici said was true as well.
"But." Veli's words came to a halt as Chici glanced at him.
"Bahhh.. I know you're worried about me. I'm grateful for that. But I have to do it before this power disappears completely. The flower will grow perfectly in less than one more month, just as the full moon arrives."
"We understand, bos. But this is very dangerous. We have to have a very big preparation. The risk of danger there we can't predict clearly" Toni pointed out his concerns.
"I knew. That's why I called you, I need your help. And one more task I have to complete on that island."
"What else, miss?" ask Wixi.
"I have to find a giant snake named Weirnix. He will help me complete the mission in China" Chici said slowly.
"china? You're going to China after you get back from that goddamn island?" asked Wixi until she stood up with a bated breath.
'What's really going on with this guy? Why is he so sensitive to hear I'm leaving?' inner Chici astonishment.
"Huff.. Wixi, I will explain my mission in China after I return home from the Lotus Fire island."
"Alright if you force me to come with you there" Wixi said with great emphasis.
"We'll discuss who's coming tomorrow. Therefore tomorrow you choose some members to be present at the headquarters. Including representatives of the company, remember to choose only trusted people from the company."
They all finally agreed. It was late at night, they came home to deliver their messages to their respective members.
