37 — Secuil Past

Max Nizone

A handsome man who just came out of Mr. Max walked leisurely towards the room he was going to visit. Figo, the man decided to see Ian after Mr. Max gave her a suggestion to educate the boy with a little patience. As long as Figo was near Ian, he couldn't hold back his emotions as Ian continued to refuse to take advice and was often off the mark during shooting practice.

Now Figo is in front of a room whose door is wide open featuring three young men playing cards and ignoring his presence.

"Hey, Ian. Your brother has come." exclaimed Naren, a young man older than Ian who loves to heat up Figo when he invites Ian to return to training.

Mr. Max did make Ian superior to a child his age who had just joined Max Nizone. Reason Mr. Max is because Ian has a grudge with his cousin's family who managed to seize the inheritance and kill both Ian's parents and his sister who is still in elementary school. Can not be imagined if in the position of Ian who had just returned from the tutoring place and found his family dead with blood that covered the entire house. A terrified Ian manages to escape from the house after his family's funeral. And it just so happened that Tobias found Ian and brought him to Mr. Maxs.

"Naren, quiet!" Cain reprimanded his friend's disrespectful nature. Cain knows exactly who Figo is. Before this he had heard the name Figo who is often associated with the Black Center, a dangerous mafia group that always acts mysteriously also lunged at the enemy secretly without leaving a trace.

Cain represented an apology by looking at Figo and lowering his head slightly. Figo smiled only thinly. Among the three boys who were in this room only Cain valued Figo as a senior.

Figo clucked, looking at Ian sharply even though the person who got the death gaze was acting too relaxed as if he had no problem with anyone. "Hey boy it's time to train. Do not ignore the orders of Mr. Max's." Figo leaned his back against the side of the door. And found that Ian ignored every word he had just said.

"Based on the little fox." muttered Figo trying to remember Mr.'s suggestion. Max in the face of stubborn Ian added not like Figo as his guide.

"Alright, whatever. I have nothing to lose either. But after this blame you for Mr. Max's the one who intervened, ck." Figo thinned his lips then turned to go to his room.

Cain who saw it immediately stopped Figo and persuaded Ian with the excuse Ian used when he accepted Mr. Max joined Max Nizone. Ian began to be affected and returned Figo's gaze which was still as sharp as the tip of a knife. Reluctantly the young man stood up from his place then ended the game with Cain and Naren.

Ian went ahead of Figo without greeting the man. Being too lazy, Figo paid no heed to it. Before leaving, Figo gave the code to Cain. Cain nodded despite not knowing what Figo was saying.

And they parted ways after Figo caught up with Ian for practice shooting or throwing daggers like before. Ian must be superior to the others. Using pistols and daggers was too easy to learn. But if you look in more detail, Ian is a little worried about seeing the two objects. Because among these sharp objects remind him of events in the past. And dig up the memory of Ian who had long buried deep.

"Are you crazy!?" ian exclaimed as Figo curiously scratched a little of his arm with a dagger Mr. Gave. Maxs.

"Motherf*****!" ian's Sumpat.

Figo widened his eyes, "Look, don't mess with my words." Figo again threw the dagger in his hand.

Ian reflexes dodging and breathing a sigh of relief as Figo did not aim his dagger at the target. Ian was a little wary considering Figo was more serious than usual. Ian thought, Figo would be caught off guard and choose to give up guiding him. Any way Ian used to rebel, but all he got was Mr. Ian's refusal. Max keeps Figo as his guide until Figo leaves Max Nizone.

"Hufft..enough! I'm gonna take a break!" pinta Ian and look at Figo slightly begging. Ian's energy is drained because Figo does not allow him to rest or just drink water.

"No." Figo again throws two daggers and continues to train Ian until the afternoon. They decided to take a break in the armory. Figo cuek as Ian sleeps on the ground barefoot. Today Figo managed to avenge Ian's insolent behavior. Figo's had enough of a restraint over Mr.'s threats. Maxs.

"I didn't know you were good at playing guns." Ian acknowledged Figo's skill in playing the dagger. Compared to the gun, the man was more adept at playing sharp objects that could kill people in close range.

Figo just kept silent not responding to Ian's words. The man looked straight ahead. Keep drinking until the toilet. Figo is thinking about someone he left behind a long time ago. Although Tobias has already given him information about the man. Figo cannot remain calm despite having to be confined to Max Nizone until the time comes.

Kezia, the woman's back at Vernon. Figo did not know why the woman had chosen to return. Figo was a little relieved because Kezia chose to leave when Interowen was eyeing Figo. But, he couldn't calm down if Kezia was with Vernon. Although Figo is a stranger to his second relationship, on the other hand Figo is married if Vernon again hurts Kezia. He wouldn't have taken Kezia away if Vernon had still done the same. It did not matter if they were not friends but cold enemies after the attack.

"If you want your goal accomplished. Don't ever waste a chance to get it." Figo said slowly and with great emphasis.

Ian looked at the golden-orange sky, "You don't know the weight of living a life like me. I was a kid at the time for revenge. But until now they are still ordinary and even happy on top of the suffering I bear." Ian remembers when he was with his family. Seeing his father's smile when he had just returned home after working out of town. His mother and sister always supported Ian when he went to the Olympics at school. They were a warm family before his uncle came to destroy everything.

Figo took a long breath. Ian's story he's heard from Mr. Maxs. But he knew better when Tobias told him in detail. He pityes a little but Ian's story doesn't compare to Figo's darker past. Although they are almost similar, they both live in different environments. Ian is from a fine family but Figo comes from a very chaotic family.

"Yes, I don't know your past. If you want to get up and repay them, practice harder. Weapons are returned with weapons. Then life must be avenged with life." Figo stood up, "But know one thing. You can't compare your past to others." Figo looked at Ian and slightly lowered his head, "It's possible that I'm worse than anything you've ever experienced."

Figo left Ian. Decided to clean up. Ian stared at Figo's departure and thought about the man's words. Until this moment Ian never found out about the origin of Figo. All he knew was that Figo had only asked permission to join Max Nizone through him. Although Ian secretly knows that Mr. Max has known Figo for a long time.
