The Conqueror Who Conquered

Investigations

"I'm sorry. Because of me, you're involved". Hugo stood up after finishing treating Richi's hand. He looked down at Richi with his cold face.

"You haven't answered my question. You must know this place, right. You are also known by them. Did you have anything to do with the tragedy two years ago?" Richi looks up to see Hugo in front of him. He could not hide his curiosity.

"I have nothing to do with them. Now, I'm gonna take you home". He walks towards Richi's car.

"No need". Richi stood looking at Hugo whose steps had stalled due to rejection from him.

Richi puts Hugo's jeket on the bench and walks towards his car. He didn't even look back. Get in the car and leave Hugo still standing in his place.

Hugo let out his breath. He knew Richi must have guessed who he was. If he finds out that Hugo was involved in an incident two years ago at Clair's cafe, what will happen?

...🦉...

Richi managed to hide the bruises on his hands from the people at home. Earlier this morning while taking a bath, he had removed a bandage that made his arm look fat so that it could make people suspicious at his house. At breakfast too, the mother had time to reprimand him because he was wearing jeket. With a bit of drama, Mary relented and just shook her head.

Richi walks lunglai in the school corridor. His hands felt pulsating. And today, she plans to go to the doctor to check it out. He was worried that if his bones were to crack, he could have been banned from many things by his father.

"Ri, what's wrong with you? The morning is sluggish." Frans, who was playing basketball, approached Richi who was sitting on a long bench on the edge of the court.

"It's okay". Lied to Frans. He was also sad because some days he could not play basketball.

"Come, play. Be fast".

"Aaarghhh" Richi grimaces as Frans pulls his hand towards the field.

"Eh, uh, why, Ri." Frans looks panicked when Richi reacts in pain.

Richi. He pressed his face so that it didn't look so painful.

"Ri, what's wrong with you?" Eric came half running. Richi's screams made him stop playing with the others.

"N-no.." He said with a grimacing face.

"Where might be okay". Frans swiftly revealed Richi's dead-end arm. And he was really surprised to see the blue bruise in his friend's hand.

"Crazy! You why?" Eric's surprised voice made him quickly lower his sticky arm.

"Who are you fighting with like this?" Frans' voice was a little low. Because he knows Richi doesn't like it if a lot of people find out.

"Why are you letting the wound go like this?" Eric asks again out of concern for Richi.

"long story. Last night it was treated, really. I'll see the doctor after this." He said with a voice that started to crackle. He had difficulty sleeping because his hand pulse was not going to subside.

"Last night you didn't come to the party. Where are you going?" Ask Frans curiously.

"really. Hugo didn't come either. Don't you two fight, okay?" Accuse Eric of carelessness.

"You're crazy, huh? Hugo is like that. Especially his girlfriend". Frans grumbled at Eric who was speaking.

"French. What doctor's father?" Richi asked Eric.

"octor. You want a consultation?" Frans said with a laugh. In fact, he often recounts unique cases of patients his father had handled. This Richi, even asked again the sign of never remembering what he thought was not so important.

"You want to go to the doctor?" Hugo's voice from behind Richi made the three men turn around.

Richie just kept quiet. He then looked down at his hand.

He could have gone alone. But some of the hospitals in this city, are his father's. If he comes and gets treatment there, his father will know.

"really. Hugo, doesn't your father have a hospital in this town? You go there, Ri. You must be thinking because you're afraid your father knows, right?" Ceplos Frans is easy. In fact, Richi's gaze was already very fierce to him.

"After school, I'll take you to my personal doctor. So, your parents won't know". Hugo said and left.

Richi who was sitting behind him earlier did not budge. The throbbing in his hand made him think a little about just accepting the man's offer.

"Hugo, he's already there". Axel meets Hugo standing on the front balcony of his class.

He and Axel walked to the place in question. A room that only Hugo and his friends could enter.

There, there's Daren and Isac. Another one, a girl sitting scared on a big chair. Chairs are placed specifically for people who make trouble for them.

After a few days of Carina not attending school, it was finally this day that they managed to get her to sit in that chair. They want to make sure of what Richi said yesterday.

Hugo pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the girl.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Hugo looked at Carina's face. He put on an expressionless face that scared Carina.

"What does that mean, Hugo?" Carina shaking. He was afraid of something that would happen to him.

"Tell me what made you do that to me". Hugo leaned his body closer to Carina's face.

The girl held her breath as Hugo closed himself up. He can't dodge. Hugo's question was as if he knew that Carina was indeed putting down a kind of medicine that rendered him unconscious.

"Sorry. I'm sorry, Hugo. Me, I'm free.." Carina racked her brain to give a logical answer and could make her quickly get out of the room.

Hugo rewinded his body and leaned against the chair while folding his hands.

"Who told you to?"

Hugo's question made Carina flinch. "Ti-nothing. I-I did it, because I like you".

Carina's eyes began to glaze over. He did see Hugo as a fierce man. But he didn't expect Hugo to actually make it like a sandraan.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm-i'm.." Carina clasped the end of her uniform. Not daring to stare at the man before him whose face had become even scarier.

"I want to play around. Forgive me, forgive me". Carina then stepped down from her chair and knelt before Hugo.

"I just want to be close to you. Ii'm sorry. Wrong way". Carina started hiccupping.

"Tell me who told you to." Daren started talking. According to Richi's story, Carina and Harry know each other.

"Nothing" he said.

"Quick Say!!" Hugo snapped loudly at Carina until the girl's heart beat faster.

"I-I planned this myself." Carina clenched her hands together and placed them in front of her chest. "Please, I'm sorry. I was so wrong. Wrong way". Carina was crying. He was so afraid that the people in front of him would hurt him.

Hugo stood up from his place. Carina did not confess, nor could she do anything because she had no solid evidence.

Axel whispered something to Hugo. Then Hugo left.

"You beware. If it's discovered you're in cahoots with someone, your future's over." Isac gave a warning that made Carina shudder.

"You understand what I mean, right?" Isac's voice was soft, but it killed in Carina's ear.

He nodded quickly. "Yes, I understand. I-i understand".

"Go away. Don't let you come in here again". Said Daren without looking at Carina. The girl then stood up and walked quickly towards the exit.

"Is that true of Richi? It seems the girl didn't lie". Said Isac who had not found any answer.

"Eitherway. We need to keep investigating him". Daren said as he walked towards the exit.
