The Bridge of Sin

What punishment is appropriate?

...To be free is not only to let go of one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others...

"Take me off! Who do you think you dare touch me, huh?"

The voice came from a man who was being handcuffed. On the left and right side are Rey and Themo. This human being is Reiner.

After Brian and Bella came back. Rey sent Reiner into their headquarters. Brian tells Rey to take Reiner there.

There Brian also tells him to punish Reiner, as long as he doesn't lose his life.

Brakkkkk

Themo kicked at the iron door in front of him. When the door opened, Eddie was talking to Stevan there. They were shocked to see the sudden arrival of Themo.

"I brought a big parcel!"

Bruckk

Themo pushes Reiner's body forward towards Stevan and Eddie. Both of them who heard the story from Bella were immediately angry at that time, especially Stevan.

According to what Brian told her, Reiner was about to harass her brother back then.

"Your outrageousness, how dare to harass my brother!" Stevan was furious about hitting him. But Eddie's clutches blocked him.

This time he didn't come with Nami. Because he said the woman was having an urgent need.

"Don't, we can't do violence to him Stev!" Eddie's obviously on him.

"Yes right, you can't afford to hurt me here Stevan. For I am protected by the law of the land, and concerning my depraved conduct towards your brother. You have absolutely no proof! If you only have evidence based on speech, then your evidence will not be able to incriminate me."

Stevan was momentarily stunned to hear that. But not with Eddie, the man will really reciprocate what Reiner did to his sister's family.

"By law we will not be able to expose you. But by power, we can destroy you! From now on, count down!" Eddie looked at her seriously.

"What do you mean?" Reiner asked who did not understand what Eddie was saying.

"You forgot who you're dealing with here? A cat like you dares to play around with a gallant lion. Then, I'll make you suffer after this."

Eddie told him again. Neither Themo nor Rey understood what Eddie meant here.

"Your entire company, your career, I'll be down in seven days. The company you built is standing on my land. You remember, even your ancestors were begging me back then. But what is this, you, the new generation screwed things up. Dare you touch my family, I make you suffer!"

The threat immediately made Reiner silent. He really did not believe his wealth would be taken that easily.

"How do you take it? My company is standing there."

"Haha..." Eddie was made to chuckle at Reiner's question.

"You're stupid, aren't you? You've only been paying the rent for the land. That land, that building is mine. Find a place for your business. I'll raise the rent by ten times. If you can't afford it in a week, you'll be ruined!"

It was finished for Reiner at this moment. He really was filled with hatred right now. Reiner revolted as soon as he took a quick step toward Eddie.

As the leg was about to kick Eddie, Stevan swiftly blocked it. Kick Reiner's body back until he fell.

"Damn you, I'll crush you really!" Reiner shouted.

Themo and Rey hold Reiner's body. It was obvious that anger from that face was flowing for them in this room.

"Open the handcuffs!" Eddie's orders.

"But Sir?" Tanya Themo couldn't believe it.

"Open it!" Eddie's orders are back.

Themo and Rey open Reiner's handcuffs. Reiner looked back at Eddie this time while Eddie was there just ringing his thumb.

The furious Reiner turned around rushing away from there while carrying a barrage of fury that had accumulated widely in his heart.

A lot of swearing he made in his heart. Both of his hands are eager to eliminate Eddie and Brian it feels. Those two former mafia really enraged him.

"Seven days, you're so cool!" Praise Stevan for praising what Eddie said to Reiner..

"Of course, power always wins, doesn't it?" Themo tried to interfere with Stevan's remarks here.

"Sorry, I'm not talking to a delinquent! I only talk to honorable people."

Stevan told Themo. Themo was stunned to hear that, he squinted his eyes at Stevan this time.

Stevan just smiled at him, there was absolutely no regret in his heart after saying that. Eddie who knew Stevan was just trying to provoke Themo anger, he just kept quiet to pay attention to both.

"What do you mean call me a prick?" Tanya Themo did not accept.

"Oh yeah, I think I'm wrong here. Maybe, the former executor is right and suits you." Stevan replied again.

"Foolish spy agent!"

That made Stevan laugh. He knew Themo was trying to dampen his anger, Rey beside Themo just shook his head to catch a glimpse of the debate that was happening in front of him.

**Drttttttt

Drttt**

Stevan's mobile vibration grabbed his attention. Stevan took the phone out of his pocket, and it was a call from Nami.

"From who?" Ask Eddie to her.

"Why do you want to know my business?" Answer Stevan.

"I'll hit him!" Themo walked over to Stevan. But Eddie again held him back.

"Yes, Hello?"

Stevan begins the conversation while leaving Eddie there. He left without saying goodbye, just a few steps from the room his body was paced with someone.

"Stevan?" Call Brian.

Yeah that guy was Brian who just got here. Stevan turned off his phone for a moment, then looked at him.

"Big boy, how are you?" Stevan asked, folding both hands.

"I'm good, thank you for your help! I think I'm late in saying that. Is there something you want? Maybe I can give it to you."

Brian said kindly, he recalled Stevan's kindness to him. Bella's sister has helped her a lot, if not for that maybe Reiner will really take Bella away.

Just imagine that Brian is totally incapable. Because without Bella, maybe she'd go crazy. Bella is the heart of this life.

Stevan silently heard that, but he nodded. It seemed like there was a decision from inside his head, which he was going to make to Brian in front of him.

"Then I ask you one thing!" Stevan told him.

"Yes say! What'sthat?" Brian asked impatiently listening to what Stevan said.

"Dear my brother, don't ever make him cry again. Don't let him get hurt again, let him keep on being happy. Don't let her down, or I'll come to your house and take her away again."

Stevan said it made Brian smile. For that it doesn't feel like Stevan asked for it. Of course he would do that for Bella. For his heart was adrift with that woman.

"I'll do it, I promise!"

The answer from him made Stevan nod. Without a word, Stevan left Brian.
