The Rhyme of the Depositary

116 - SEASON 2

Jasmine sits before William, explaining what he heard from his efforts trailing the man who had been observing Alice's house lately.

William slightly displayed an uncomfortable expression. Alice's house is being targeted by the Black Hell organization. As the butler who had sworn to do all things for the safety of his master, he was responsible for doing his best protection.

His vow was just one from the beginning. Served to the Mallory family, following his daughter's son. Anson is dead now. What was left of him was his wife and son, Axel. For their sake, William was willing to offer up all his loyalty. Including his life.

"So, that man is a member of Black Hell?" ask William to make sure.

Jasmine nodded. He had heard this fact directly from the mouths of two men who had talked in a minimalist home. Jasmine's senses were still healthy, so she made sure what she heard was the real thing.

"You sure?" tanyakanya.

Jasmine closed her eyes, feeling annoyed herself. He slowly hit the end of the table in the back room and looked at Wiliam with a look of dislike.

"You think I'm deaf? William, I can still hear clearly. The person I followed said that he was Black Hell's subordinate. He said if he still can't get a crack in this house, Segnor Martinez could finish him off."

Jasmine recalled what she had heard yesterday afternoon. He relayed it in detail this morning to William for William to learn more.

"Segnor Martinez?" william repeated what Jasmine said.

"Yes. Could it be that you think he is the head of the Black Hell organization? I heard that the organization is based in Saint Paulo, Brazil. Do you think it's just empty words or facts?" jasmine asked seriously.

"Eitherway. I've also heard of the organization being based in Saint Paulo. The news is the truth or not, only God knows about it." William said honestly.

Any information related to Black Hell, is information that is still a lot of confusing. The organization is smart enough to hide itself so rarely can people steal information about it. Only insiders were allowed to access Black Hell's existence. The head of the organization said it included cruel men who easily ended the lives of their subordinates if found they had no use.

If so, then the man observing this house has something to do with Sila. William had investigated through his confidants about the ins and outs of Sila. One of his men once said that if Sila cooperated with Black Hell, forwarding information about Alice.

Actually, where are all these things going? William began to speculate.

Preceptively. Man in black. Black Hell's. All that formed William's vigilance became increasingly greater many times over.

"William, are you contemplating again?" ask Jasmine.

William blinked his eyes and turned towards Jasmine abruptly. It's still morning. Probably around 06:00 local time. But it was still dark. The dawn has not yet dawned. Jasmine and William had been immersed in a serious conversation just a moment ago. As if the fact that it was still evening did not necessarily make the two stop.

"Yes. I need to reflect a lot. Have you ever heard the term getting older should reflect more often?" William smiled a little, comforting himself from the strange problems he was facing.

"You are old. It's good that you realize that!" Jasmine pulled her cold feet despite wearing socks, and tucked both soles to sit on them to make them warmer.

"I am old. My time passes quickly. Problem after problem I've been through. My life is full of colors, I hope that when God calls me, you will keep Alice and be a friend to her. You and Rachel are the ones who pay close attention to Alice." William said with a far-fetched look.

He was seventy years old. All the power he had as a young man started to get eroded by the circumstances. His stamina is no longer as strong as it used to be. William only tries to stay afloat with his remaining strength in order to protect Alice, protecting what Anson has bequeathed for her.

Life will never be calm forever. Life is never forever straight. There is always a sharp pebble in the way, as a test of all the things God has created in this world.

The sky is not bright. The clouds are not always blue. The sun is not always shining. There is always night and there is always darkness. There is always rain and there is always a storm. God has created the cycle of nature. Continuously to maintain the balance.

God has endowed nature with the power of each element. In order for everything to come together, forming a perfect element. Because not always someone has their own strength in facing the opponent, that is why God creates groupings of individuals as friends in every thing that exists.

"You're as if saying you're going to go welcome death, William. I don't like it very much." Jasmine pursed her lips, feeling troubled by William's discussion.

"Aren't I going to die soon? What else do I expect? Live long forever? You think that could happen?" William asked a little strangely.

"Not so, I just don't really like it when I hear words like goodbye from you. It makes me feel sensitive."

"Who told a woman like you to be sensitive also in hearing the complaints of others." William chuckled, feeling funny looking at the other side that Jasmine was on.

They then remained silent for a long time. Their thoughts returned to the initial discussion of Black Hell and the purpose of the organization was to target Alice.

Shouldn't it be that if the organization was targeting Alice, they wouldn't have to look for this gap in the house? Alice is often at home, but she also often goes out of the house. So, if Black Hell wants Alice, in fact they are easier to block Alice outside the house such as roads, or other public places.

Why does Black Hell still want to be able to break into the security of Alice's house? That was a question for Jasmine and William. The only guess they had was that Black Hell had something to aim for and that something was in Alice's residence.

"Come, Jasmine. I think the same thing. But for now, I still don't have an approximate estimate of what kind of thing Black hell is in this house. Could Black Hell have some business with Klayver? Some kind of old grudge? Is it possible that Klayver kept a secret in this house? Something Black Hell is after?"

"The only one who can answer that question is Klayver himself. You have any contact to contact Klayver?" ask William to Jasmine.

Jasmine shook her head weakly. Only Klayver can contact Jasmine. If there is a desperate situation, usually Klayver will leave emergency contact. But this one month there was nothing Klayver had left for Jasmine. So Jasmine could not take the first step if she wanted to make communication with the man.

"Is it possible Alice—"

"No. I'm the only one whose friend isn't allowed to form a communication, let alone Alice who is his wife and is very easily exposed to danger if Klayver contacts him. Your question is funny, William." Jasmine looked at William with an annoyed look.

"Oh, okay. I'm just asking, okay? If this is the case, we can only guess roughly. Roughly what Black Hell wants from this house and what his goal is to go after Alice."

Jasmine nodded in confirming. This was the only thing they could do for now. Everyone should be vigilant.

"For the time being, take good care of Alice, especially when going out of the house. Don't let us miss." William reminded.

Jasmine again nodded in agreement to William's words. They were both on the same boat, so both William and Jasmine had an implied agreement to shoulder-to-shoulder compactly.

"William, do you think it's better for this matter to be conveyed to Alice or not?" Ask Jasmine.

William was silent for a long time. He seemed to be thinking about this matter. Alice was a very sensitive person and was unfamiliar with this kind of danger. In contrast to Jasmine and William, they were all used to facing the dangers of the streets and the dangers of death.

After careful thought, William decided it would be best if Alice did not know about this matter first. He was worried that the woman would feel frightened and psychically depressed. Moreover, Alice's condition is currently pregnant, so it is feared that the pressure and stress she experienced can affect the fetus she is carrying.

"Jasmine, Alice is an ordinary woman who has a gentle and kind soul. He's very vulnerable to stress if you tell him about this. So, it would be best if we kept all of this ourselves. Your job is just to focus on looking after Alice and not to let that woman be slaughtered by the people from the Black Hell organization."

"Alright, William. What you said is true. Alice was a person who was too sensitive about things like this. I was worried that the fetus she was carrying would be affected if Alice was too much depressed thinking about the many problems of this kind. So, I promise I won't tell Alice this directly." Jasmine smiled slightly.

Jasmine and Alice were two different people. Although Jasmine was pregnant, but she was used to experiencing many things and getting a lot of pressure from her surroundings. So that what he is dealing with will not make him stressed and depressed. Unlike Alice, the woman was too pure and kind. So that things like this could have affected his psyche seriously. Jasmine didn't want to take this kind of risk.

"William, do you think we need to increase the number of bodyguards in this house? Or do we need to augment the security of this home with as many other technologies as you said yesterday? "

William stared at the floor with a slight gag. He thought about this last night. It seems, inevitably William has to increase the number of bodyguards and maybe also increase the security of this home alarm.

This home protection needs to be increased many times over. If something happened to harm Alice, then at least the number of bodyguards could protect Alice's safety even greater. The more bodyguards and the higher the security of the house, the lives of Alice and Axel will also be more secure security.

"Jasmine, I'll take care of this. Youre right. We have to improve the security of this house by adding bodyguards and upgrading advanced security systems. That way, I hope that anyone who tries to break through this house can be restrained and fail."

William had thought of wearing a bodyguard that had high abilities. He had to make use of the available resources he entrusted to himself in order for Alice to remain secure. No matter how much money he had to spend, if this could guarantee the safety of Alice and Axel, then William would.

In this world, God provides each person with different abilities. Some are rich, smart, expert in some things, and some are equipped with high ability to make money and financially. Therefore, William intends to utilize what Alice has for the good of a

Alice herself. No matter how much money one had to spend, as long as it could guarantee one's life, then it was worth it.

Alice's life is full of color. She was just an ordinary woman who by fate, God had brought that woman together with a man who had a dark past. It was Anson, now Klayver. The two people were people who had a standing in the dark world and were not just any ordinary men. It is only the miracle and power of God until this very moment, a

Alice could still live a normal life with such a man.

To balance Alice's life, God blessed her with many people who cared around Alice. Like William, Rachel, Jasmine, and Daniel. All of that is God's facility for Alice for the good of Alice and her son.

" Okay, William. Do whatever you think is good for Alice and Axel's life. I'm going upstairs. If there's anything important for you to talk to me about, just call me in my room. "

William stared at Jasmine's departure with warm eyes. Apparently, behind the cheap attitude shown by Jasmine all this time, the woman had high values and solidarity.

William hopes that, one day, Jasmine will find a better way of life. The woman has the right to feel happiness and the right to find the perfect man who can balance her life. She should be able to live a normal life, have children, and go through as many days as any other woman in general.

If God would one day do wonders for Jasmine and meet her with a good and perfect man, then William would definitely be happy for her. I hope it happens, not just empty hope.
