The Conqueror Who Conquered

Anxiety

"Thank!" A tall person ran over to Richi and Hugo who were talking in the hallway of the school.

"Sir Emer."

Emerald's approaching. His eyes were focused only on Richie.

"You okay? Is anyone sick?" He asked with a breath of breath. He holds onto Richi's shoulder. Worry surrounds him when he hears that Richi and Axel were attacked by Apollo's children.

"Eh? Brother why do you know?" Richi asks back when it turns out Emerald knew of the incident. He had asked the principal to remove the CCTV footage from the scene.

"In Gor had a storm when he heard the children of Apollo attack Axel. Good thing it didn't happen until the fight of one Gor." It was clear to Richie.

"Apollo was eliminated for the next three years. Because you can't play sports" he added.

That's a little bit of relief, Richi. Because he doesn't want people to see him fighting. Especially if people know who they are and their families.

"I'm sorry, brother. The plan failed". Richie said suddenly. Because their time walking around is used up for problems like this.

"It's okay. There's still another time. Now come on, I'll take you home. Aunt Mary's waiting". He said by embracing Richi in front of Hugo. They just walked away. Like there's nobody there.

Hugo looked at the girl's back. Seeing his proximity to Emerald made him a little jealous. How did Emerald get to know Richi's mother, and drive her home? He also called her by the name of Ichi?

There was a sliver of hope in his heart to be able to get closer to the girl. Then he brushed it off. Why is he with that girl? There were all sorts of reasons he had in mind. Something that is actually difficult for him to achieve for now.

"It looks like you're using your Taekwondo well huh". Emer spoke without looking. He focused on the road ahead of him.

Richie just kept quiet. He stared at the street view through the window of the car he accidentally opened. Let the wind blow his face. Today, it somehow feels so exhausting. His mind was fixed on his father's calm but terrible face.

"I saw it. CCTV footage."

Emerald's words made Richi take a look and look at him gaspingly.

"Relax, I'm the only one who saw him in the security room. After that, the school removed it". He said again after seeing the reaction of Richi who looked surprised.

"I heard one of them was the son of the chairman of the board. Him, whose teeth you're pulling off". Emerald said while holding back a laugh. He imagined the child must be busy ordering new teeth for him. Maybe in a few days he won't go to school because of the shame of his front teeth dated, beaten women anyway.

"The other was hospitalized in a hospital. What's more that Hugo kicked that hard. Looks like his kidneys are having serious problems".

Hearing that Richi gulps her saliva. He watched as Hugo kicked him so far away. That guy is really not responsible for beating people. Richi suddenly remembered the Boxing match that time.

"Am I being too outrageous, huh?" His words were slow but could still be heard by Emerald.

"Sometimes they also need to be taught a lesson, right. They're basketball kids, but they're like thugs. Thankfully they finally found an opponent who did not draw. Hehehe" Laughs at Richi who is only met with a faint smile by him.

"Just calm. Many were grateful they were beaten up like that. Because they are school thugs. But no one dared because the chairman was the son of a councilor." Emerald calms Richi who has since looked anxious.

The car stopped in front of the gate. Emerald looks at Richi who seems to be still daydreaming.

"Chi, we're here".

Emerald broke the girl's daydream. He looked out the window.

"Ah, it's up to the looks of it." Richi opened the seatbelt. "Eh, why don't you go in, brother?" He said that the car did not enter the gate.

"No. I'm just dropping you off. You need time, right. Rest." His words are full of understanding.

Richi smiled "Thank you, brother." He then got off, stood by the side of the car until Emerald pulled away.

Richi entered slowly without making a sound. He wanted to go straight into his room without being caught. But he had to pass through the main room, where his mother was usually sitting reading a magazine there.

"Hey!" Someone patted him on the back. Richi gasped to turn his body.

'Haah' her tense body squeezed when she saw her brother behind her.

"Gee. Like this you usually end up doing something, right?" Ricky wiggles his index finger in front of Richi's face.

Richi brushed off his brother's hand. "No. Already, go there." He started to step again. Then from behind, Ricky grabbed him while walking.

"Already, don't dodge. Come, follow".

"Ah. What the hell, brother. Free, loose!" Richi struggling to release his brother's strong embrace. But he could not match his brother's strength. He was dragged into a room.

In the room, Richi's father and mother were already sitting while brewing tea. The atmosphere wasn't as scary as it was two years ago when he made trouble.

Ricky took his hand off his sister's shoulder. Richie looks tense. He then tidied himself up. Rubbing a little bloodstain on the end of his shirt.

"Sit down". Wiley Thomas put the tea glass on the table. She spoke without looking at her children.

Richie sat across from his dad. So did Ricky who sat next to his mother.

"here..". His father patted the sofa next to him. Richi gulps. If he had to sit that close to his father, wouldn't that be dangerous.

Richi glanced at his mother who had inhaled a fragrant puff of smoke in jasmine tea in her hand.

Seeing his mother who did not glance at him, he slowly moved and sat down next to his father.

"Have you satisfied now?" His father's words made him fall. He closed his eyes firmly and prepared in case his father shook his head. Even though his father never hit him.

"That's great. You made your father have more work today". Say again.

"Hows it? Satisfied? Surely satisfied right, how many years have you not beaten people's children?"

Hearing Dad's words, Ricky's laughing voice sounded softly in his ear.

Her father patted the back of Richi who was tense from fear. "Goodoo. You can defend your friend well".

His back was up, his eyes were wide. "Dad not angry?" Ask with confusion.

"Why should you be angry? You're on the right side. You're defending your friend, right." His father laughed while hugging his son. His favorite daughter.

'Dad wasn't angry for defending a friend? Didn't the incident two years ago also defend the right?' In Richi's heart, although he was amazed by his father's reasons, but he was quite relieved.

"You have to be careful. What you did, Mr. Henry's son. He'll definitely keep chasing you". Ricky said he had seen CCTV footage from the school.

"Do you need to clean up?" Wiley glanced at Richi. The question will be rejected by his son. He's sure of it.

"no need. He is just a spoiled child who oppresses people in the name of his father. Ichi can be alone, Dad."

Hearing that, Wiley smiled proudly. His education really made his two children successfully fight their egos and can overcome their problems without boasting of his name.
