Revenge By Law's

ARTICLE 92

“Here,” said Rinjani when he saw Indira was confused choosing which corridor he should go through.

“Padahan from outside the building looks small, but the contents inside are very complicated,” Indira said when he was next to Rinjani.

“Same as democracy. Outside it looks simple. To vote for someone, to vote. I want to decide something to vote for. Apparently, the originals are very complicated. Full of intrigue and gimmicks.”

Indira looked at Rinjani in admiration. He did not expect, Rinjani who had been his style of speech by’an, could discuss democracy. “Wah, even though it has only been a few days you joined the successful team of the Milky Way, your speech is full of philosophy.”

“Ah, meaning they managed to damage me,” Rinjani replied.

The two of them were more familiar than when they first met. It happened since they realized that they had the same opponent, Regina. Rinjani who knew him earlier thought that Indira was still much better to be a friend than the policewoman.

There are many reasons he thinks so. First, Abi loves her so much that she often does something to harm herself for Regina's sake. A great example is the incident fifteen years ago. Second, Regina often hurt Abi's feelings and worse, Abi always forgives. For example, when the woman decides to get engaged to Roy, one of Abi's mortal enemies. Lastly, Regina didn't help them much in Kerinci's case, even though she had the ability to.

As for Indira, she prefers Rinjani just because she is no prettier than Regina. Even when it comes to face-to-face, he is more confident in competing with Rinjani than with Regina. The drawback is only a short body size, unlike Rinjani who has a proportional body.

“Does the Milky Way say its purpose is calling us?” ask Indira.

“It seems to be related to Paradise document sent by Abi.”

They arrived at the door of an office. There was the sound of a man inviting them in. Indira still hesitates, but Rinjani casually opens the door and invites Indira to come with her.

Inside, the Milky Way was already waiting for them with a faint smile. He immediately greeted Indira and Rinjani with enthusiasm. As the beginning of the conversation, he asked many pleasantries such as how they are doing today, what kind of transportation they used to get here, or whether they had breakfast. Really typical politician.

“Alright, since we are both busy people, I will not speak nonsense and go straight to the point,” he said, after almost a quarter of an hour of pleasantries. “I've received documents about Paradise. Whether one of you did it or -”

“I sent it to you. Sorry if I didn't include the return address. I need to know your response first before talking about it further,” cut Indira.

“Oh, I think the one who sent it was -”

“Not, it's me.”

Indira knows, the Milky Way wants to provoke recognition from Indira that Abi sent it. Indirectly the man wanted to confirm that Abi who was in prison had access to communicate with the outside world.

“Good.” The Milky Way smiled again and took out a document from its drawer and placed it on the table, in front of Indira and Rinjani. “Now, what can I do with this thing? What advantages can I get?”

Indira pulled the document back at him and said, “Governor's seat.”

The Milky Way nodded, but he was not too excited even though what Indira mentioned was his greatest ambition at the moment.

“I have a simple thought about the relationship between this document and the governor's seat that you said. But, as I said, it's too simple. This document is not very valid and is not enough to bring down the incumbent, although the name Theodore Francis is in this document.”

“Then, we have to think about it in a more complicated way.”

“How to?”

Indira was about to say something, but Rinjani's hand signaled to hold her back. Then, it was Rinjani's turn to speak.

“As a businessman, of course you know that everything has a price.”

The Milky Way laughed when it heard those words. He realized that what he was facing right now were geniuses. Not only the two of them, but the figure they represented, namely Abhimanyu Alexander. He felt very lucky because those people offered to be on his side.

“Oh, of course we didn't ask for that. If we want, it is not difficult for my friend who is this wonderful lawyer to release him.”

“So, what is it?”

“A information. About Sky Emperor.”

Suddenly the Milky Way pecked when it heard that name. His expression froze, his voice inaudible, even sweat began to pour from his forehead. Then he laughed out loud.

“You must have heard those rumors. Rumor has it that I am a member of the Sky Emperor. That was a lie. In fact, I believe that the organization is just a mere boogey created by a bunch of weird conspiracy theorists.”

“Unfortunately, we get that information not just from rumors. We have successfully confirmed it.”

Indira took out a photograph showing several people having a meeting. Almost everyone in the photo does not see his face, except the face of someone who is very similar to the Milky Way.

“Da, where did you get it?” ask the Milky Way stuttered.

“You don't need to know it.”

Indira couldn't possibly say that she got it from her father, who was somehow able to document the meeting of the Sky Emperor. More precisely, he stole from his father's bag when they were eating at a supermarket near the PT building. The Laras Jaya Karya.

“Alright, I admit it. But, the Sky Emperor was not an extraordinary organization like the one that had been heralded by those conspiracy theorist freaks. We do not control the government, let alone determine the leader for this country. Nor have we ever performed strange rituals, manipulated important happenings in this country, or killed people we consider obstructions as people often rumored. We are just a group of business people who want to protect our business. Sometimes we do some big business that is actually legal, but vulnerable to being considered illegal. To that end, we are working with council members to draft some laws that benefit many, but we are not governing the government. Only a handful of officials we can work with.”

“Khas politicians and businessmen, sweeten something rotten. Legal but vulnerable to be considered legal, establish cooperation, draft laws that benefit many parties. Very beautiful,” Indira quipped while looking at Rinjani, trying to get his friend to connect his words.

“No, he is my boss. I don't want to badmouthing him, let alone in front of him,” Rinjani said after reading the code from Indira.

“So, what information do you want to know about Sky Emperor?” bima Sakti asked to return the focus of their negotiations.

“Ah, yes. I forgot.” Indira checked her phone and showed something to the Milky Way. “This is the schedule of Mischa Radjasa's activities on the day of her death. There are online meetings between him and several people, including you. Are these people the other Sky Emperor members? So, what did you talk about that day?”

The Milky Way thought for a moment then checked the records on his phone. “Ah, that stupid artist is being sort of an intermediary for an illegal mega project. At that time he presented something that I thought was a bit unreasonable. Whether you want to believe it or not, at that time I only attended the meeting for a few minutes.”

“Wait. A mediator? Who are you with?”

“With a man nicknamed Mr. Jireh.”

Indira and Rinjani look at each other. Finally, they found a red thread.

“What is mega project?”

“So, I don't remember much. But it has to do with prison. In essence, if one day we are convicted of our crimes and must be imprisoned, we can serve our sentence without having to suffer.”

Indira and Rinjani's forehead shriveled. They were completely confused by the explanation of the governor candidate.

“So, why don't you want to get involved in it?”

“I'm sure I'll be a clean person and avoid breaking the law. The project won't be of any use to me. I'd better save some money for the election later. After all, who is that master Jireh so as to make the inmates happy? Is there a reasonable way to make an imprisoned person happy? Does he want to make a playground on the lawn?”

The Milky Way continues to babble, until it is not aware that Indira and Rinjani no longer pay attention to it. The two of them were busy guessing the mega project that master Jireh had promised the Sky Emperor members.
