The Conqueror Who Conquered

Richi's Phone

Richie can't sleep. He was agitated because of the strange feeling in his heart that never disappeared.

Richi starts to remember his cell phone, he searches here and there but does not meet.

"Ah, yes. My phone's on him". He said as he remembered himself giving Hugo his phone.

He glanced at the clock, it was already 1 in the morning and he exited the room towards the basketball court.

Richi bounces the ball, glances at the basket and inserts it appropriately.

He continued to play alone until tired, the sweat all over his body started to come out. Richi chose to play to make his mind better. I don't know why she wanted to cry for no reason.

Ricky who heard noise from his study came out and found his sister playing alone.

"Why him?" Mumbled slowly. Ricky chose not to show his face because the girl looked frustrated. Ricky moved, headed to his room and let his sister solve her own problems.

After feeling tired, Richi stopped, adjusting his breathing. Then violently throw the ball into the wall until the ball is reflected far away. He was upset because his feelings were not improving.

Richi was on his back, breaking down his still-crowded body, looking at the star-filled sky, just like the night he helped Hugo back then.

Richi holds his chest pounding at the thought of Hugo, and realizes that he already likes him a lot. Somehow, he also did not realize that until Hugo who said that word, the word that should be pleasant became pitiful now.

"Why am I like this!" He murmured while closing his eyes with his right arm.

He has not been able to accept his now-transformed heart, although he himself slowly admires Hugo because it turns out that the man thinks about him a lot. In fact, he buys a ticket and turns off the lights just so Richi can do what he likes.

"How about this, I don't want to fall like this". Mumbled again.

What if Hugo finds out he likes her? Didn't Hugo himself say that he likes graceful women, while Richi himself is not so.

He sighed in annoyance, because all he knew was that the man also considered him a friend and what he did to Richi was simply a form of thanks to him who had repeatedly saved him.

While elsewhere, Hugo was also pondering. He had his chin on his knee. Hugo was sitting on the roof of his house. Apparently this incident also made him upset.

Because, he regretted, why not just say that he liked the girl. But he was afraid that Richi would stay away. However, building a relationship up to this on Richi is a big undertaking. Which the girl used to seem to hate herself.

Hugo closed his eyes, looking again at the face of Richi who was always in the eye. Somehow he always dodged when his tongue began to say according to what his heart wanted to say.

She also understands what Richi feels for her, however much Richi seems to not care about her. He doesn't even show a single gesture that shows Richi likes him.

Hugo sighed, then opened Richi's phone that had been with him since.

He opened the girl's gallery and only got photos that were almost the same as what he found on his profile page.

Hugo then finds a folder containing photos of Richi who is practicing martial arts. He saw one-on-one with a smile, a woman he admired greatly for her cleverness and strength.

Hugo took another breath. She thought, she used to like graceful girls, and looked at Richi with a petty look.

Then now, he even felt that a girl like Camilla was very troublesome. Precisely a girl like Richi is very suitable for him because Richi can even balance it, ranging from the same hobby, the same martial arts, as well as the speed of himself that almost Richi can match.

"I really like you up to this". He said to a photo of Richi holding a basketball in her hand with a smile. Hugo held his chest, every thought of Richi, he was always pounding.

"Eh?" Hugo's eyes rounded when he saw a row of photos of Richi that looks Girly. The girl tied one of her hair and put the hair tail forward, chin-backed with a smile.

Hugo shifts the photo again, finding Richi with glasses on top of his head and a small love sticker on his cheek. Richi blinked her eyes, looking very cute.

He keeps shifting the cute photos and even he never thought, such a style that Richi could do, making Hugo even more like the girl.

"Why did I just meet you, hm?" He said in a photo of Richie.

"How is it, so you can look at me as the man you like?"

"Hey, you! Don't you like me one bit, huh? You don't know, that almost all the women who see me are always in love. You're not really a girl, are you!" He was like a madman.

While from below, David gawks, finding Hugo from his study window. "That kid, why else would he?" He muttered when he saw Hugo as if talking alone on the roof of his bedroom. He shook his head, then closed the window because he did not want to disturb his strange-looking son.

"Well.. Damnit. Just this time I liked girls up to this. You're lucky, Richi. Look, how many girls want to get my heart, and you get it without even asking!" Screeched again.

He swiped the photo again and was wide-eyed when he found a photo of Richi with a lot of men in black shirts and military pants just like Richi was wearing when in the shooting range.

He saw Richi smiling broadly with an arrow bow in his hand, and a deer lying with an arrow on his body.

"Wait, in-he's a member of the military?"

Hugo had no voice, because now his mind was trying to guess. Daren's remark that his family is inaccessible, Richi's tactics and his way of fighting, aren't they all highly trained? Especially when Richi managed to get out of the kidnapper's car.

Hugo held his breath, the girl turned out to be no ordinary person.

...🍒...

"Chi.." Greet Emerald when you see Richi on the road with a shunt.

"You can't be contacted. Where were you last night?"

Richi's excited, he doesn't know what to answer. "I-i'm.."

"This is your phone, right? Found her. Next time don't be too late to put things." Hugo handed Richi's phone in front of Emerald.

Richi looked up, not understanding Hugo's words. He then received the phone. And Hugo just passed by.

"So your phone is gone, Chi? Is that why you're not there to look for him?"

Richi does not answer, he sees Hugo's back moving away.

"Thank God your phone met. Come on, let's walk." Bring Emerald. Richi walks with Emerald into the main door of Oberon.

...🦫...

"You're Richi?" A man dressed in a black uniform just like the men who intercepted him yesterday, meets Richi as the girl is walking alone towards the boxing training building.

Richi did not reply, he glanced at the 2 more people behind the man.

"Follow us, or your face will we scratch with this!" He said firmly while pointing at the dagger in his hand.

Richi didn't budge, nor could he guess who they were. But it's definitely not Stripe, because Saver turns out to be part of them and Lexus blatantly runs away from him.

"Come on." The two men change position to the back of Richi as if shepherded herself to get into a car.

Richi sighed, his mood was still bad, then these three people were looking for trouble instead.

Richi finally follows, he gets into the car. And inside, Richi starts the action. He finished off the three men and managed to snatch the dagger from the other hand.

Until all were sprawled, except for one person he deliberately left behind.

Richi twirled the dagger in his hand, staring coldly at the man who was already full of blood on his face.

"Say."

The man did not answer even though he knew what the girl in front of him meant.

"Quick, you know what the consequences are, right?" Said Richie softly. His eyes continued to look at the blade that was spinning on his finger.

"I.don't know.. AGRH!" The whimper as the dagger managed to pierce his thigh.

"say". Said Richi again while holding down the dagger that was still stuck in the thigh of the young man.

"I.wouldn't.. AARGHGHH!" The scream gets stronger, as Richi further deepens the puncture in the man's thigh.

"Lucky.. Forgive me.." He said in the middle of the groan.

"Ca-carina. In-he's the one who hired ka-we". Tukas the man while enduring the pain.

"Huh. Looks like I should hit him head-on."

The man screamed again as Richi whipped out with a hard dagger in his hand.

"You, who.." Asked in a low tone, his face was badly injured from the scratch that Richi gave him.

"Part of Valiant". He replied with a slanted smile as he immediately looked at the frightened face of the man.

Richi gets out of the car, tidying up her hair and clothes.

"Hey, watch out if you tell anyone else!" Threatening him, the man quickly nodded while enduring the pain.
