When Xavier arrived at the presidential palace. The place was already surrounded by its front. Arnold must take Xavier to a secret entrance that is commonly used to evacuate the President in case of unwanted things.
Xavier went straight through the vast presidential palace. He was told that everyone was gathered in the oval room that was inside there. His steps quickly led him to the front of a large door that immediately opened for him. He put his foot into the room.
Xavier, who had hoped to meet with state officials and the President, immediately stopped his steps immediately when he saw the room was almost empty. He tilted his head slightly seeing that there was only Stevan, Antony, and himself in the room.
“What is this?” xavier asked directly in a heavy and resolute voice. He was summoned by the President and not to meet with Antony.
“Come here, there are things I want to talk about with you and Stevan before you enter the room,” Antony said in his signature style. The friendly smile that now felt was extremely terrifying on his face.
“I only obey what my boss says. I came here to meet the President,” Xavier insisted again. Percuss him, not stepping in the slightest.
Antony looked to put on his patient face. “Xavier, I am the president now. All the generals and higher-ups in the room next to this place have agreed to support me. In other words, now I am the president even though I have not been appointed, ” jabar Antony with his serious face.
Xavier frowned. He looked towards Stevan who nodded slowly. He was just as shocked when he first came here.
“Only you two have not voted where you will provide support. But I remind you. All the higher-ups have chosen me even the big General of the police and also the big General of the army which means your superiors have chosen me,” Antony said again with a smile that expands. Sitting on a chair that is usually occupied by the President.
Xavier just gnashed his jaw. He didn't know what to say this way. What Antony said is true. Even if he sided with the previous President, they would still lose.
“Have it, don't get too tense like that. After all, we don't really have any problems at all, do we? I'd rather thank you very much for the hard work of your wife, General Xavier and also the cooperation with General Stevan police. Without you, I wouldn't be here. So I guess it's better to let our relationship be like this. Peace,” Antony said again.
“Actually what have you done?” ask Xavier again.
“I? I didn't do anything. I just really don't like injustice. I was also just being careful. Because it's asking for help from you. Not that you also don't like injustice, or since when did you start protecting suspects?” antony asked again with his face that looked pretentious to Stevan.
“We never protect anyone who is at fault,” Stevan said firmly. Xavier joined the stand near Stevan.
Antony heard it immediately grinning. Raise one corner of his lips until they look so cunning. “Then, you guys did the right thing. Support me.”
“What made you so willing to overthrow the President. Can't you wait another year?” stevan asked who was getting annoyed with Antony's behavior. Xavier holds Stevan's wrist. However, he must be careful with Antony now.
“I didn't roll him. People who do that. They no longer believe in the credibility of President Wan, in the period of his position a lot of disappointing things. Kidnapping cases, murder cases and even politicians blatantly killing each other make people feel no longer safe under his government. Is not a sense of security one of the things that must be in our lives?” said Antony. “The Society encouraged me to become President. They came and voiced all their wishes and they wanted me to be President. I just listen to my people. Are we not all devoted to them? Right no?”
“How? Have you guys agreed? I told you already. Our relationship is very good now. For what to be muddled with things that are not profitable at all for you. No need to bother investigating things that even the person himself does not want to give his information.” Antony again grinned at his sneaky smile.
Stevan and Xavier clasped each other tightly in their hands. This guy is really sneaky and petty.
“Master, it's time,” said Adjutant from Antony who informed them.
“Alright, we have a deal. You take it easy, I will never disturb your life, but remember, don't disturb my life. Let's live peacefully,” Antony stood up and fixed his suit. He smiled kindly before leaving Xavier and Antony towards the room next to him.
“That guy! I was really mad to see it!” said Stevan who just issued a sense of regret. Xavier clasped his wrist trying to keep himself from exploding in front of Antony.
“We can't do anything to her now. If he really becomes President. Then we can't even touch it,” Xavier said. They are only a part of the generals in the armed forces of this government. There are still many other Generals who may already be under Antony. Attacking him now was the same as seeking death. No, it's not that Xavier is scared and follows what Antony wants. But acting rashly, would destroy everything.
“Unless Mr. Peter can unpack everything,” Stevan said.
Xavier glanced at Stevan. “You sure? A defendant dared to open his mouth about the President. He would have preferred to live behind bars rather than have to lose it all.”
Stevan blinks his lips. “Politics is always terrible.”

“Graciella you're not sleeping?” ask Monica who just woke up around five in the morning.
“Oh, I'm sleeping, Mom. But wake up,” Graciella said with an anxious smile.
“Is Xavier not home yet?” ask Monica.
“She's home, but she has to go again. There is something going on at the presidential palace,” Graciella said. Monica who saw that in front of the television instantly raised her eyes. Shocked to see the sea of men that surrounded the place.
