The Conqueror Who Conquered

Because Harry

Before long, Isac and Axel left the room. They let Hugo rest.

Hugo could not close his eyes. Seeing Camilla sobbing, her mind flew to Richi.

The girl was crying that night. Although Hugo himself does not know for sure what makes Richi cry.

the incident is still very clear in his memory. How the girl asked him to stay alive, made him smile a little. "Did he like me?" Hugo muttered with his heavy voice. He looked again at the photo of Richi that Daren sent.

Hugo held his heart. His gaze was so felt in his chest, tickling that it made him continue to want to laugh because of his pleasure.

Hugo stroked a soft photo of Richi.

There was no way Richi could not feel anything as she hugged him. He even complied when asked to remain there. His inner.

Hugo checked his social media. He wants to see Richi in cyberspace.

Hugo opened the school's website, which contained only Oberon school children.

Hugo's inbox seemed to pile up. He did not even open it because it contained girls who teased him.

Hugo typed a name, then his eyes sparkled when an account called Richi D. Willey's surfaced.

Hugo smiled looking at the account. He immediately opened it, hoping to see the girl there.

But there really is nothing there. Just pictures of skate boards, basketball, courts, to his friends who play basketball.

Hugo did not find any of Richi's photos. He didn't even really put down his information properly. Only hobbies are filled, after that...

Hugo smiles, a picture of Mouza sleeping next to the book that seems to be being read by Richi at Clair's tavern.

There was nothing he could steal. Hugo went back to check the other pages. Two days of not going to school already left him a lot behind. And the most crowded became popular on the site, making Hugo moved to see it.

The page was shared by many students with various question mark captions, 'who is the beautiful girl with the head of the osis?'

Hugo looked at the photo. A photo of a woman facing back with beautiful long hair that Hugo knew belonged to.

"Rich?"

Hugo recalled, the shoes and clothes that the woman in the photo was wearing exactly the same as what Richi was wearing. Except clothes. Even so, Hugo was convinced, he was indeed Richi.

He glanced at the date and time of the post. The same date as the incident when he was tortured and Richi saved him.

Hugo's not budging. There was a hint of disappointment in her heart, as the girl had left with Emerald after helping to save her. In fact, Hugo also sacrificed himself for the sake of Richi who was also almost shot.

Hugo threw away his original phone until it fell to the floor. He tilted, pulling the blanket over his body.

'He went on a date after that?' Hugo wondered.

Why does Richi encourage him, ask him to stay alive?

Isn't he crying too?

If after that he can have fun, that means...

Hugo. He realized, it turns out that Richi did not like it.

"Ah, how could you not be imprinted in the least. I hold your body tightly. I'm sure you can even feel my breath on your face" Hugo murmured softly. Seeing Richi on the page of the head of the sausage made him feel sad.

Hugo continued to ponder. There was anger in him.

"He, dating Emerald?"

Hugo muttered again. Like not accepting the reality he is facing now.

Hearing Isac's remarks about those dancing, as well as the page Emerald shared, it seemed like he was indeed dating the girl.

Hugo forced his eyes. He wanted to sleep and dispel his feelings for the girl who didn't even have the slightest feelings for him. Unfortunately, he was increasingly unable to fall asleep. Sadness, disappointment, and anger mixed in his heart when he remembered Richi who was still floating in his mind.

...🦫...

Richi sat on the bench on the basketball court. His eyes focused on his friends who played cheerfully, while he, his mind was nowhere and had not escaped the incident. Moreover, Hugo's rumors of illness had already spread out from who he came from.

Last night, he even had trouble sleeping again when he was jolted for dreaming of a cut of the incident when Hugo was shot for protecting him.

'Why did he do that?'

"Richie! Watch out!"

Frans screams late, the basketball hits Richi's forehead until his head is pushed back and his hair tie is removed.

"Aargha!" Richi groaning. Staring towards the children who stiffened up because it seemed like Richi was going berserk.

"Who!" His cry stood up to those who began to point out as perpetrators.

"Aish! Play rich basketball play foot ball!" His cry was upset while holding his true eel was not so painful.

"You look stressed, Richi."

"Did that burden you?"

Richi sat down slowly and instantly forgot about the rampage just now.

"You're in school?" The question came back ignoring Daren's question.

"H 'em. Except for Hugo, he hasn't completely recovered yet." He answered without looking at Richi. Their eyes were on the children who started playing basketball again.

"You feel guilty? Why?" Ask Daren when she sees Richi bowed.

"There's no way I'm calm, he's helping me". He said sluggishly while tying his hair again.

Daren held back her smile. Although it looks not caring, it turns out that the girl is actually burdened.

"Take it that's the price he paid because you helped him." Daren stood up from his place. "Again, she's already getting better after I sent her the right medicine". He said and passed without caring about Richi who seemed to not understand his words.

...🌻...

Richi's steps are stopped when three women block his path. Richi moved to the side, the woman followed.

"Excuse me, I'm going through". Richi softened his voice to make it sound more polite.

Two of them held his hands left and right. "Follow!" Say one of them.

"Just a second! I don't know any of you". Richi tried to let go of his hand. The two girls hands firmly grasped onto Richi.

"Come on, take him". Said a woman who led the way.

Richi relentlessly follows those who step towards the back shed of the school.

They put Richi in a chair. The three stood straight folding their hands on their chest.

"That's all? Too easy! He even looks weak". Say someone and smile sideways.

"We just locked him in here, right?"

"No. We need to teach him a little lesson for having played around with the boss". Answer the other.

"Boss? who?" Ask Richi curiously.

"Of course, Carina. You've made him mad. Who do you think dares to nudge him". Obviously that woman. He looks down on Richi who looks not good at fighting back.

Richi looked over lazily. It feels like he always has to bother because of something that continues to be related to Hugo.

"What are we doing?" Ask the other one.

"Just let go of me. I'm so weak and scared." Richi curled up in the chair, with a tone made as if to be pitied.

"Haha, it's delicious! You've dared to touch Mr. Harry at the dance, you won't survive Carina!" His touch on Richi widened his eyes.

"What's? Harry?" Richi patted his eel. No wonder he was often bullied because of the gossip Hugo made. But this, Harry?

"You danced with him last night. So lucky of you. But your luck is only for a moment, because you'll regret it from now on!"

"You misunderstand me, I don't like Harry one bit. Not a-in-kit-pun!" Richi emphasized the final sentence so that the girls understood.

"Hey, you dare say that? He's Mr. Harry, the owner of a big, handsome, genius company. How dare you say that!" The girls grumble with Richi's absurd-sounding words.

"Noah!" Richi complains because he feels wrong.

Richie stands. "Tell your boss, I don't like Harry. He was the one who asked me to be his partner. If you came, you'd know."

"You're right. But Carina's still mad at you, plus you foiled her plan. Now, you must be punished". Answer the woman innocently.

"So move. I don't have time to take care of this kind of thing. Which madman would want to be accused of liking a man like him."

Hearing Richi's words, one of the girls was angry. "You're so arrogant, you think Mr. Harry likes you?" He then wrapped his finger around Richi's neck.

Richi kicked the girl's shin until she was in pain and let go of her giggling.

"I don't want to hurt a woman." He said and walked away. One of the girls pulled her hair. Richi swiftly pointed his elbow towards the back and hit the girl's nose until she whimpered.

"You!" He holds his nose which is hit by Richi's left elbow.

"I told you, I don't want to fight women." Richi looked at the other woman. The girl backed off and looked tense.

"Don't bother me anymore!" Threaten Richi and immediately leave the three.

"He's very strong". The girl grimaced holding her nearly broken nose.

Just like that, Richi had already silenced the three who were getting confused to report it to Carina.

"Hey." Richie turned. "Tell your boss, I've lost".
