They speak in English.
"What's that?" kai asked curiously as did everyone who heard.
"Not what, but who? Tobias's."
"You mean .. Lysa's husband? That ugly tattooed guy?" robert made it clear.
"Yes, Mr. Robert. Tobias. He's the only person feared by 8 Mens, No Face even The Circle itself" Afro replied quickly.
"How much influence has Tobias had on his ranks?" ask Doug.
Afro casually pointed at Vesper. But the Queen, instead, winked in confusion.
"You're pointing at me? Wh why? Does it have anything to do with me?" asked Vesper puzzled until his eyes bulged.
"Like you, Mrs Vesper. Do you know your nickname in The Circle?" tanya Afro raised one of her eyebrows.
Vesper shook his head innocently. Everyone is getting curious.
"Zombies. You're a human who can't die. You lived from death over and over again. Even your blood is poisonous. Either you know this or you don't, Mrs Vesper. But what I do know is that when Tobias took your blood when you were held captive, Venelope experimented with injecting your blood into her lover, hoping that she would be as strong as you. But who would have thought. Venelope's lover died in front of him after he tore himself because he could not endure the pain in his body. I saw the tape at my father's pharmaceutical company, Italy. And that, very terrible, Madam."
Practically, Afro's speech made the hearts of the listeners seem to stop instantly. A sense of tightness enveloped everyone's heart, as if the air in the room was very thin and could not be inhaled.
"Darling, are you okay?" asked Kai who saw Vesper suddenly limp.
Everyone looked anxious because Vesper was holding his head like a sick man.
"You can receive blood from others, but you can't give your blood to them. Those people are gonna die. I don't know what kind of miracle God, the poison in your blood, has fused with all the organs and functions in your body so that you can survive until now, Mrs Vesper. God loves you" said Afro with a smile, but Vesper shook his head.
"Darling? Huh! Ahaha! Unfortunately God for me, he didn't take my life. You think I like this, hem? I'm just trying to hold on because I haven't seen the peace of the people around me, Afro. Like you, you're still suffering. Perhaps, if you are happy one day, freed from the punishment and shackles of the world, I could die peacefully. You all made the grave reject my frame. I'm rotten, just not smelled. Yeah, you're right, Afro. The Circle is right. I'm a zombie" Vesper replied sadly and immediately stepped out of the seat, leaving the fireplace.
"Lilly! Miss Lily! Hush!" call Kai out loud and immediately run after his wife. The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
In corridor.
"I'm fine, Kai. Really am. I just feel angry. You better go back inside. I want to calm down first. You continue the interrogation. I'm fine" Vesper replied as she approached her anxious husband and kissed his soft lips.
Kai is reluctant to let go of his smiling wife as he walks down the corridor somewhere. Kai let out a deep breath and returned to the fireplace.
It seems everyone is tense because Kai is back without Vesper by his side.
"He wants to be alone. Okay, Afro. Continue, " said Kai while sitting on the sofa where his wife was sitting earlier. Afro nodded.
"Wait, you said, Tobias. .... What's wrong with that guy? Why is The Circle afraid of him?" ask Sherly curiously.
"That's all?" ask Doug in wonder.
"Tobias is very rich, Uncle Doug. One big secret I knew when I was with Tessa. Tobias invests his shares almost all over the world, in large and well-known companies. And I'm pretty sure his wealth exceeds that of Miss Vesper."
Everyone is surprised. However, Kai's forehead wrinkled.
"If Tobias follows the stock market, it should, his name will be in the spotlight and trending" Kai said.
Afro smile. "Tobias uses someone else's name. He borrowed it, but controlled it. The names of those people, some have died, but his death is not recorded by the population service," replied Afro mantab.
"What?" sherly is confused.
"Master Kai. Can you use GIGA? Try to find Damian Damarcos' name. One of those Mens has died, hasn't he? Supposedly, he was declared dead by the Government" pinta Afro.
Kai immediately pulled out his phone and carried out an order on GIGA. Everyone's heart was pounding waiting for the results. And sure enough, the answer to the smart computer information is similar to Afro. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man before them.
"Not that I don't want to go back to you. I was forced to follow the will of No Face because I wanted to uncover the mystery that disrupted the peace in our ranks so far. I want the truth by making me a traitor. Everything I did to make amends for my father. Really, I don't want to sit in that chair, I'm not ready to die," she replied, looking depressed until her forehead creased.
Kai approached Afro and hugged her. Afro hugged Kai back and shed tears. Everyone is silent.
"I know what it's like to be a traitor, Afro. God, I think I'm enough to make a mistake, but it turns out you are too. However, relax. We all promised to protect you" Kai said, releasing Afro's embrace and looking at her with a smile.
"Protect me?" ask Afro confused.
"Yes, Afro. Your testimony has been recorded and heard by senior board members. It's just, you still have to go to trial. The problem is, Sandara can not be contacted, whether the girl is where," said Mr. Robert look lazy.
Afro was pale instantly. He was silent as he looked at the lie detector on the table with his heart pounding.
"May they don't ask me. Don't .. don't ...," Afro's inner fear.
"Oia Afro's. As long as you're under surveillance, what if you help me become my assistant. It's hard to work alone" asked Doug, who surprised the blonde.
"I? To be an architect like you? But, I don't have that skill, Uncle Doug," Afro replied in shock.
"You can learn it while you work. It only takes tenacity and intention if you want to be like me. No need for high school as long as you're trying. Enough me and Mr. Robert who will be your teachers if you are willing to join me," Doug replied casually.
"Yes! I want! Oho! I really hope to be useful when I get back. Whatever offer you make, Uncle Doug. Thank you for trusting me," Afro replied excitedly and everyone looked happy.
