The Leader's Wife

Chapt 71 Devilito the Supreme Commander

Early in the morning, a black caravan entered the grounds of papa Luigi's house. Several members of the Lidah Api network escorting Devilito at Luigi's home were seen lining up to welcome the car. After a while, four people appeared from inside the car, dressed in all black. Cerlotta, Dribbled and followed Dominique and Hernandez, the duo of Cerlotta's bodyguards descended and went straight into the house.

"Hi uncle, aunty.", Cerlotta hugged the two Devilito parents who welcomed them, followed later by Giring. Dominique and Hernandez, after shaking hands with Luigi, took up a sitting position on the front porch.

"Please Cerry, Geri...Devi was preparing in her room" said papa Luigi, inviting the two to the living room. Lorena then emerged from the room, and looked neat, walking towards Cerlotta's arrival. For a moment, both of them looked. Lorena hesitated a little to extend her hand. Cerlotta read that, He took the initiative to break the awkwardness, He stretched out his hand to Lorena then hugged her tightly, "How are you brother-in-law?, long time no see..". Even though Lorena was younger than him, she was already his sister-in-law, right?.

Lorena was somewhat shocked by Cerlotta's melted demeanor, there was no cold impression on her face, more friendly. "Well Cerry, you look fresh today and beautiful" Lorena responded in greeting the girl's embrace.

Cerlotta stretched out her arms, then rubbed the arms of Devilito's wife who was slightly shorter than her. "How was the trip here, smoothly?", he said in a friendly tone. "Everything is going well" Lorena replied smiling, "let's sit down", she continued.

"Hello sister Giring, feel at home very here now?", he said then reached out his hand to the sleigh who greeted him with a smile.

The feared thing did not happen, either by papa Luigi, mama and Giring. They were worried, afraid that Cerlotta would act or be unfriendly to her enemy. Broken with his warm attitude towards Lorena.

How long after, Devilito joined the room. Chuckled for a while, before continuing their journey to Sicily.

...-sicily Islands-...

Taking an hour-long sea trip by super-fast boat to get to the Sicilian archipelago does not make Lorena nauseous or dizzy. Perhaps his heart was happy to see Cerlotta's friendly attitude, let alone Cerlotta always nearby, as now on the way to Catania where Mr. Ludwig Smith's. Cerlotta sat side by side, while Devilito had to budge, sitting on the very back bench with a sleigh.

After thirty minutes, they arrived at the city of Catania. The motorcade finally reached the hilly area and entered the gate of the mansion of Mr. residence. Ludwig Smith and immediately greeted the master of his own house with a row of bodyguards on his right left.

But, uh,

Unlike Cerlotta, Ludwig Smith's attitude looks very cold to welcome the arrival of the Devilito troupe. There was no smile or hospitality that he showed. His eyes were sharp as Devilito got out of his car.

Seeing that, Devilito was no less haughty, his true nature came out. She smiled slightly then extended her hand to the supreme leader of the Flame Tongue, while Lorena simply nodded respectfully in a fixed position standing next to Cerlotta.

Ludwig Smith only took a quick glance at Lorena and turned his gaze fixedly on Devilito.

"How are you uncle?", said Devilito. He already knew the nature of this foster uncle. "Well.", replied Mr. Smith short then turned his body towards the room where they used to gather. Devilito followed him without a sound, and went hand in hand.

"You don't have to be afraid, my papa is such a character, he's a cold person, there's no bad language in his life, except just me", Cerlotta knows Lorena's doubts seeing his papa's attitude. While walking slowly to take Lorena to her room, Cerlotta told her of her haughty, cruel aura on her face, as if heartless. "But he was actually a good man, only his past situation and life had been forging him like that, as was Devi's brother, your husband...", Cerlotta paused her sentence as it coded Devilito and her papa to deliver Lorena to the room, to rest. "Your husband, his true nature is almost similar to my papa, which is why papa likes him so much. Cold and cruel".

Lorena laughed at this Cerlotta sentence. Indeed, her husband's attitude here is very different. The cold aura seemed to enclose him. Wasn't her husband educated and trained by papa Cerlotta?. It's like having a double personality. Look loving, because of the upbringing of papa Luigi and the tenderness of mama, but will look sadistic and cruel, because of the upbringing of papa Cerlotta.

This is amazing my husband...Lorena shook her head, monologuing by herself.

"So, you don't have to be afraid, that's the two of them" said Cerlotta patting Lorena on the shoulder. "This is your room, rest first I will accompany you, because brother Devi will look busy here, not ignore you ya.", continued Cerlotta later.

***

In a special room, Ludwig Smith and Devilito spoke with four eyes. Devilito tells why he had to marry Lorena, and tells the events of himself who had to destroy the elPaso belonging to Alexander and his Rumble Squad Ruiz Hernandez from Mexico.

Mr. Ludwig listened only with the mangosteen hearing the story of Devilito, but his face turned wrathful when Devilito said,

"After going through it all, I will withdraw from the membership of the Flame Tongue, uncle", with a heavy sigh.

Brakkk...!!! Mr. Ludwig kicked the table.

"Did you say??, you want to resign?" he asked as he got up from his seat, his index finger pointing to the face of Devilito sitting across the table.

Devilito nodded, "Yes..". Devilito had expected, Mr. Smith would not allow it.

"I won't allow it!".

"Because I don't allow !, understand..., who will lead the Tongue of Fire in your place huh !?".

"There is still a sleigh uncle, he is also tough and smart in leadership !".

"He is not quite capable, and I know it!", replied Mr. Smith fiercely.

"But, Gery will be accompanied by uncle Cerry, and it will make the Flame Tongue even more solid!", Devilito remained calm conveying his words.

Mr. Smith shook his head, "I know Gery's character, there's one thing he lacks, doubtful and unpleasant!, and you know that too".

Devilito fell silent, he confirmed the sentence his uncle, his friend is indeed lacking in that, hesitant in taking action. "But with Cerry's support, he will be able to uncle, because Cerry can be an input in making decisions" said Devilito still trying to find a gap.

"No, precisely because it will be accompanied by Cerry, Gery will increasingly look doubtful, because he will always consider the feelings of Cerry!, no, he has not been able to".

"To be a leader, sometimes in complicated situations and especially emergencies, someone's character will be seen there, Geri has not been able to make a firm decision!", Mr.Smith continued his sentence, returning while shaking his head, and making a strong decision, his hands are ruffled around his waist.

Devilito was silent for a moment, Mr. Smith was very harsh with his opinion, not allowing him to back down. "But I want to rest uncle, my wife is pregnant".

Mr. Smith sighed, "I know who you are, I educated you hard from a young age, taught you how to be a fighter, how to be a good businessman, being a leader", Mr. Smith paused his sentence, his words began to soften, his eyes glaring upwards.

This is uncle's other side, this isn't him... Devilito looked at the change in attitude of his uncle who looked sad.

"I'm old, I want to enjoy my old age with tranquility, I've told Cerlotta to get married to Giring, who was hoping for you, I want to propose a grandchild, joke with a grandchild", a stroke of sadness was seen in the eyes of the ruler of this Flame Tongue.

Devilito was stunned, he allowed all these words of his uncle, he was the one who educated him to toughly challenge the world. Become leader.

"Actually, what is the meaning behind uncle's words ?" Devilito looked at his uncle's face slowly walking up to him, He was still sitting on a staring chair.

"I want to retire, it is precisely I who want to resign, actually, only you that I believe", the sentence that came out of Mr.'s mouth. As Smith grew weaker, he stood before Devilito and held both of his nephews shoulders.

"I will make you the true supreme commander of the Flame Tongue !".

"You don't reject it, I beg you!".

Devilito was stunned again, he did not expect, this is the mission that papa Luigi meant to him, Ludwig Smith will hand the command staff of the highest command of the network of Tongue Fire, to him.

Devilito nodded his head in thought, "I'll talk to my wife first uncle, if he allows, I'll accept this power, but if not, please forgive me. My wife is everything to me uncle" replied Devilito sternly, He breathed his heavy breath.

Mr. Smith patted Devilito's shoulder slowly and nodded, "Well, uncle, I don't think your wife will mind, won't she find you after you become a leader?".

"And for his daily duress, you can appoint Gery, hm..?".

Devilito just kept thinking about it.

"But, you will still go through the process, tonight you will fight against some people who will be appointed uncle, prepare yourself for it".

Ludwig Smith passed from the room leaving Devilito pensive.
