Ranums

ZENAMANTHIUM

Ranum and Muhammad had arrived at the mansion owned by the metal seller. Two security men escort Ranum and Muhammad into the mansion, meeting their boss. “Welcome to Lobamba city.” A black woman greeted Ranum in Swazi.

Ranum and Muhammad did not understand the woman's language.

“Princess Luyanda welcomes you, she said “Welcome to Lobamba city.”.” A woman spoke to Ranum and Muhammad spoke English. “My name is Nondumiso Maseko, I am the translator of Luyanda's daughter Ntshalintshali.” The woman introduced herself.

Ranum nodded.

“My name is Luyanda Ntshalintshali Mdluli.” Luyanda introduced herself, translated by her translator.

“I Ranum and this is my friend Muhammad. We are from Loshad family, our purpose here is to buy zenamanthium metal.” Ranum speaking.

Luyanda nodded. “Where did you know we found the metal?” Luyanda asked.

Ranum shrugged his shoulders. “From my family. Exactly who, I don't know. I'm just running my errands.”

Luyanda told his men to take the metal zenamanthium.

“What is the advantage of this metal?” Ranum asked.

“We dare to claim that zenamanthium is the strongest metal on earth today. We have tried to heat this metal to 20,000 degrees Celsius, but this metal does not melt in the slightest.” Luyanda explained.

“You have how many?” Ranum asked.

“We only found 178 kilograms metal zenamanthium.” Luyanda replied.

“How much price do you want?” Ranum asked.

“What do you offer for the metal?” Luyanda asked back.

“What? Isn't that supposed to be how much?” Ranum asked confused.

Luyanda laughs. “I no longer need money, currently I need something more than money.”

“What do you want?” Ranum asked back.

“I want you to take down the current king and make me the new ruler of this country.” Luyanda smiled.

“Don't you guys just find the metal? those where the discovery has the possibility of being found again either in the same place or other places. I think the price you are offering is very inappropriate. Unless you make or create the new metal and can ensure that it is only you who can make it, perhaps by overthrowing the current king is natural.” Ranum says.

“Although the metal is elsewhere, still no one will be able to perforate the earth for 24KM like us.” Luyanda smiled.

Ranum smiled. “You're just lucky, drill in the right place and be able to find the metal. Can you confirm that the metal is extremely rare?” Ranum asked.

“I am very sure that zenamanthium is a rare metal.” Luyanda.

Ranum was silent for a moment, thinking.

“I should be the right to be king in this country.” Luyanda says. “In the 1900s the people supported my ancestors to be king in this country, but because the king who was in power was very crazy and did not want his throne taken, he said, commanding the entire royal army to kill my ancestors. Until now the descendants of the king who ruled this country, the people do not like the king today. The current king is often criticized for living so favourably in a country hit by the world's highest HIV infection rate, owning a fleet of luxury cars, millions of dollars were spent renewing luxury mansions for his wives, as opposed to about 34% of the unemployed population, nearly 70% living on incomes less than 1 US dollar per day and with 39% of adults contracting HIV.” Luyanda. “I just want the country of my birth better, I want to prosper the people in this country so that the mind of – my ancestral ideals reached.”

Ranum smiled. “Sorry, I can't help you if it's only returned with 178 kilogram metal.” Ranum got up from his seat. “I pamit.” Ranum bowed slightly, smiling.

Muhammad stood with a confused face.

Ranum and Muhammad return to the hotel. “Why don't you accept the offer?” Muhammad asked.

“I have no interest in helping that woman become ruler in this country.” Ranum burned his cigarette.

“How about your family? What will they do because you failed the mission?” Muhammad asked again.

Ranum shrugged his shoulders, not knowing. Ranum put on his earpods, contacted Arsyanendra. “How about my metal brother?” Arsyanendra is straight to the point.

Ranum. “I did not accept his request. You can't have the metal yet.” Ranum smokes his cigarette.

“Why? What did the seller ask for?” Arsyanendra asked curiously.

“Isn't that a very easy request? The country is very small and lacking in all aspects. It would be very easy to persuade the people to help overthrow the king.”

“Do you doubt my decision?” Ranum asked.

“It's not like that brother, I need the metal to do the experiment.”

“Sorry I can't help you to buy that metal, the price is very inappropriate.” Ranum shut off his earpods. “Do you have my gun?” Ranum asked Muhammad.

Muhammad nodded. “Your gun suitcase is in my room. Do you want to attack the mansion earlier?” Muhammad then asked.

“If that's what it takes.” Ranum walked to Muhammad's room. Muhammad followed Ranum.

After picking up his gun, Ranum immediately returned to Luyanda's mansion.

“Did you change your mind?” Luyanda asked, grinning.

Ranum nodded, smiling. “This is my offer.” Ranum immediately grabbed his gun, pointed one of the pistols at Luyanda and the other towards Nondumiso.

“What do you do?” Luyanda's face was pale.

“Have your men bring all those metals here.” Ranum speaking.

Luyanda nodded slowly, commanding his men to bring the entire zenamanthium metal to his meeting room with Ranum.

“Bring the truck here.” Ranum spoke to Muhammad through his earpods.

“Aye aye friends!” Muhammad told the truck driver to bring his truck into the front yard of the mansion.

“Be told they put all that metal into the truck in front.” Ranum spoke to Luyanda.

“I won't give you that metal!” Luyanda.

Ranum smiled, shot Luyanda in the knee.

“Damn it!” Luyanda groaned in pain.

“I don't want to play – main, quickly have your men bring all the metal into the truck.” Ranum said coldly.

Luyanda quickly ordered his men to bring all the metal into the truck.

“Let's just relax, I didn't steal your metal. I bought it.” Ranum spoke flatly, knocking on his earpods. “Send one million US dollars to Luyanda Ntshalintshali Mdluli's bank account.” Ranum continued speaking through the earpods.

“Money will be in in five minutes Young Master.” Alexa's voice rang out at the end of the earpods.

Ranum nodded. “Thank you.” Ranum deactivated his earpods. “In five minutes the money will be in your account.” Ranum spoke to Luyanda.

Luyanda only nodded – nods, grimacing in pain while holding onto her knee.

“Use that tablecloth to close the wound.” Ranum spoke to Nondumiso.

Nondumiso covered Luyanda's wounds using a tablecloth with trembling hands. “Already sir.”

“I'm sorry for having to use this way. Actually I don't want to finish like this.” Ranum smiled.

“All we have put in the truck.” One of Luyanda's men spoke Swazi.

Ranum nodded. “Thank you for the kindness of all of you.” Ranum turned right, stepped away. “If someday you have a better offer, I can help you to be king in this country.” Ranum walked out, waving his hand slowly. Keep your back on Luyanda and the others.

“Turn everything to the plane.” Ranum spoke to Muhammad. “Dan tell others to quickly pack – items in the hotel and return to the plane.” Ranum.

Muhammad nodded, immediately contacting Max.
