The Conqueror Who Conquered

Traumatized (2)

"Rich. Come here." Come here."

A man's voice disturbs Richi's ears. The girl ran down the hall somewhere. Many times Richi looked back but there was no one in that place. He kept running but always came back to the same place.

"Richi, do you like the gifts I give you?"

The voice appeared again, making Richi tighten her steps even more.

"I liked you a long time ago. Do you realize that? I'll do whatever you're happy with."

Richie stopped and covered his ears. He closed his eyes firmly, hoping for the voice to vanish.

But when he opened his eyes again, suddenly Richi was in a white-painted room. On top of that there are many cameras that move and follow the steps of Richi.

Richi ran again, wherever he went, the cameras were always on his head.

"Wherever you go, I'm always there."

Richi's steps are stifled when a thin, bespectacled man appears out of nowhere. On his right thumb is a small tattoo that reads Dachi. His face was not clearly visible, but his smile felt terrible for Richi.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here for you." Said the man as he spread his arms, asking Richi to hug him.

Richi felt her breathing start to cramp. Sweat drenched his face. Richi ran again as the man walked closer to her. The girl continued to run until she unknowingly fell into a large hole.

"Ohhahhh.."

Richi sat down with a sigh and a sweat on his forehead.

"Chi, why?" Ricky next to him woke up. Looking at his pale-looking sister, Ricky immediately grabbed a glass of water over the nightstand.

"Drink this." He said, and Richi immediately drank the water until it ran out.

The girl tried to catch her breath and started to calm down after her brother stroked her back.

"You're having nightmares?" Her speech. Ricky lowers the temperature of the room to be cooler, Richi's sweat makes her nightgown wet.

Richi nodded and covered his face with both hands. It felt really scary to him.

"Don't think too much, it's just a dream. Olivia called me earlier. He said they found the hacker who was monitoring you. Jonathan found the address, too."

"Who?" Richi asked his worries.

Ricky picks up his phone and shows Richi a photo of a bespectacled man with some of his classmates in Oberon uniforms.

"He's the one who's been watching you for the past six months."

"E-six months?"

Richie looked at that face. His stature was similar to the one he had just dreamed of.

Richi swiped the screen to look at some other photos. There is one photo that shows Dachi's face so clearly.

Yeah, Richie's starting to remember. He's a guy who has given Richi a letter several times. But he never read it. Even one letter was stolen by Hugo back then. (Bab7)

"His name is Damian Moon. You knew her?"

Richi nodded. "I know because he sent me letters a few times."

A sigh rang out of Ricky's mouth. "Tomorrow we'll go find this guy. You don't have to come."

Richie nodded again. He said it because he continued to tremble every time he discussed Dachi Moon.

"Sister."

"Yes?"

"Don't tell Mom and Dad about this." Pinta the girl.

"I don't want them to worry."

"I'll tell you after this guy gets caught. Because I don't want Dad to come in. I want to spend it alone."

Richie didn't answer. She knew her brother would do anything to protect her. Ricky once said that he made Richi number two in his life after his mother.

Moreover, Richi can always solve his own problems. But if this is the case, it means that the girl really needs help. Ricky won't stay silent. If someone bothers his sister, he makes sure, his life will not be safe.

"Now, go to sleep again." Ricky helps his sister lie down, then covers her. He lies down, patting Richi on the back so that the girl sleeps again.

Richi sits swinging while reading a novel in the park. His eyes occasionally glanced upwards, staring at the cctv camera that led to the garden where he sat on a slowly swaying swing.

Very early in the morning Ricky was gone. He said he needed to track down Dachi Moon again because suddenly the server was gone or somehow Richi did not understand. Although Jonathan says he has blocked Dachi Moon, but Richi believes the hacker must still be watching from there. Dachi Moon's ability in IT seems extraordinary.

Elsewhere, a bespectacled man sat staring at the large screen in front of him. He smiled whenever he saw a girl on the screen staring at the camera.

Although his access had been hampered, Dachi Moon had managed to infiltrate Richi's address again. He knew she was looking for him, but it was a victory for her because she was always able to shut herself down.

"you see me again, hm?" He said as Richi again glanced at the camera. For him, it was a pleasure to see Richi early in the morning. The girl looked lethargic like never before.

"It's so sweet." she said in a whisper. Then take the potato chips that became Richi's favorite snack.

He watched Richi like watching a romantic drama, making his stomach tickle and feel fun.

But it was only for a moment because suddenly he straightened up, when he saw the person he hated appearing on the big screen.

"Damn it, what was he doing there." he said by squeezing a snack in his hand. Honey, he couldn't hear what they were saying there but it seemed that both of them were not okay.

"Chi.."

Richi. Hugo was standing next to him.

"Where is it?"

Richi did not answer. He closed his novel and patted the spot next to it, telling Hugo to sit down.

"I know you're mad at me. But what is this?" Hugo pointed at one picture on his phone. The picture where she and Aron sat together in an ice cream cafe yesterday.

Richi sighed. He didn't have much energy right now, let alone having to fight.

"I kept calling you but you couldn't be reached. Are you that angry? Okay, I'll settle my business with them. I'll stop training if you don't like me teaching them."

"Hugo, it's not like that."

"You know I love you so much, Richi. Never for a second thought of switching to another as angry as I was. But this.." again, Hugo pointed at the picture on his phone screen.

"Hugo, he's been helping me." Said Richi in a weak tone.

"I can help you too, Chi. But you refused. Is it because of receiving help from him? You met when we had a fight yesterday, right?"

Richi just listened to all of Hugo's complaints about him. Although he was eager to debate Hugo, said everything, but the tongue felt restrained.

"What do you really want me to do, Chi? I'll grant it as long as you're no longer mad at me."

Richi looked at Hugo's face. He was dizzy and not powered. But Hugo comes up with a lengthy debate that bored Richi. Richi knew very well, the man loved her too. If Richi tells me for sure Hugo will also react like his brother. Richi knows this is just a misunderstanding, he opens his mouth, he wants to tell Hugo everything.

"We'll break it, Hugo." Not an explanation, but instead it came out of Richi's mouth.

"W-what?"
