The Rhyme of the Depositary

118 - SEASON 2

Luiz was sitting opposite Liza. The man grasped a ballpoint pen in his right hand and tapped it on the desk, making a distinctive sound.

"Liza, I'm going to rent a place in Manhattan for us to rest while we do our thing" Luiz explained. He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling a little worried.

The informant he had paid to watch over Alice's residence was an incompetent informant. He had waited a long time to find out what the security flaws of Alice's house were, but still had no results.

Instead of getting information about the loophole he could break, Luiz instead received confirmation from his subordinates if the butler Alice had strengthened the security of the house and increased the number of bodyguards to double the previous one. Such a thing was certainly not what Luiz expected. He needs the weaknesses of the opponent, not the strengths of the opponent.

"alright. Whatever you want, sir." Liza nodded deeply, accepting all the decisions Luiz had taken. He was just a subordinate, so his every wiggle room was limited. Inevitably, Liza could only accept every order given by Luiz.

"good. That's what I expect from you, Liza! The nature of a subordinate and the nature of a subordinate is to accept fully all my decisions without hesitation."

From the very beginning Luiz recruited Liza, she expected full compliance from the woman. Liza is a very special asset. She is not only beautiful, but also has strength in talent, intelligence, and quickness in making difficult decisions.

Liza has served Luiz for many years. So that Luiz could find out all the ins and outs about the woman. From his family history, his past, and all things related to Liza. So indirectly, Luiz has actually grasped the life of Eliza in full. Liza was just a woman who had already made a deal with a demon man like Luiz.

"If I may know, what plan do you have?" tanya Liza looked at Luiz carefully

Luiz is a very complex person. He does not like passive subordinates, but also does not like subordinates who ask too much. As a result, many of his men are confused as to what to behave. They seemed deliberately played by Luis' mood as he pleased.

"I'm gonna rent a modest house in Manhattan not far from Alice and you're gonna take Alice to me as a prisoner. I want to hold Alice in that simple house to provoke Klayver's whereabouts that are still confusing."

If Alice was in Luiz's hands, Klayver would inevitably show up as well. The man must have loved Alice enough so that she could decide to marry him. In other words, Alice was an ace for Luiz.

Luiz laughed, feeling victorious for successfully defeating Klayver one step ahead. Who would have thought a man as strong as Klayver turned out to have a weakness in the form of a woman. This is all, like a fairy tale in ancient times. Every male has the same weakness. Love and women.

Love is a very sensitive thing. Can be used and can be used. Love is both an advantage and a weakness. It depends on who is feeling it and who is using it. Love can be a gap for happiness and suffering. Love can also be a source of loss for others.

That's one of the reasons why Luiz chose not to believe in love. For him, his life was perfect without such trivial things. Who wants to have feelings that will backfire on themselves?

"Sir, weren't you thinking about finding Alice's security weakness first? Why did you suddenly change your mind now to find a crack and knock Alice out of the house?" ask Liza not understand.

Liza is a very smart person. Luiz was no wonder the woman threw such a question at him. Indeed, Luiz wanted information about the loopholes and security flaws in Alice's home. He has a veiled intention.

" Liza, I originally had the intention of taking something belonging to Klayver that was most likely in Alice's house. So that before, inevitably I had to break into Alice's house first and look for the object. Whether it was in the same roof as Alice or not. However, seeing my people who have difficulty in finding the security gap in Alice's house, I concluded it is better not to do so. It seems, I should be quite satisfied with getting Alice alone without that item." Luiz stared at the ceiling of the room with a meaningful look.

As a hitman, Luiz keeps records of the people who paid him. Luiz had heard from someone who had used Klayver's services if the man kept the deal in a small book in the form of an agenda book with some secret code.

Luiz thinks if he can get the book, he can definitely reveal what he got on the black market. The information in this book is very sensitive. Many people are finding out who the users of Klayver services are. Whoever Klayver killed and for what reason. For this reason, Luiz was hoping to find the book in Alice's residence. But it seems, he must undo it because to break into the security gap Alice's house alone is quite troublesome.

"Well, if that's your decision. I'll be ready whenever you need me, sir." Liza nodded deeply, understanding in outline Luiz's will.

This is all Liza can do. Bowing in, agreeing to every single thing that Luiz said like a fool, and agreeing to every single ugliness that Luiz was ignorant of. For a long time, by working with Luiz, Liza's sanity could be eroded.

"Liza, if this mission succeeds and I get Klayver, I'll give you a special gift." Luiz promised seriously.

Liza who heard him could only smile. He knew very well the gift that Luiz meant was a set of handsome men. For what reason does Liza accept it if she herself does not like to use such services.

But openly rejecting Luiz's gift is also not an easy thing. How could Liza act against her own master? It was as if he was ungrateful for what Luiz had given him. Like the simalakama fruit.

"You're too kind to keep giving me presents, sir. I don't deserve it." Liza tried to refuse. But instead of Luiz understanding this, he just squealed a little and did not accept.

"Huh. Bullshit says it's inappropriate. You've been my man for a long time. It should be. Don't reject! I don't like my kindness being rejected." Luiz pointed at Liza with an unpleasant face.

Finally, forcedly and with a stifling sense of resentment, Liza nodded in acceptance of whatever Luiz wanted. In the end, he really can't dodge, can he? Liza was forced to accept. Every life he had was completely overrun by Luiz. He was not allowed to decide many things in his life. That man is truly a true demon. I don't know where Luiz's nature came from. He is like an evil heartless devil.

"Thank you, sir."

That was all Liza could do with Luiz's words. Inevitably, he was forced into submission to be dictated, and rendered helpless.

Liza was worried that if things would continue like this, it was possible that she would also be forced to marry for the sake of the organization. For example, Luiz found a person who he thought was right and could strengthen his position, it could be Liza became a machine for Luiz to be able to always submit to him.

For Luiz, the men were an added advantage and a valuable asset. As long as it has a price and has a use value, anything can happen.

Thinking of this made Liza's stomach nauseous. He has tried to be kind, serve sincerely, do what he can. But it seems to Luiz that Liza is still lacking so she always demands other things from her.

"About when should I get ready for this mission?" ask Liza curious. The woman's face was trying flat so as not to display pent-up anger. Honestly, Liza's mood is not good right now

"Three days from now. Everything will definitely be ready and you just need to prepare yourself to hold Alice at the point I planned, Liza. I can't wait for that day. Seizing Klayver's woman, holding her, and waiting for Klayver to bow down to me begging to be released. Huh. Just expecting it makes me happy is endless. Like my euphoria would just explode at any moment." Luiz whistled small and rubbed both palms as a form of complacency.

Luiz's handsome face with strong Latin lines currently looked like a demon. His eyes were cruel and calculating. Implying the evil intentions he had in his heart.

Liza could only nod and turn away. He began to step away from Luiz with all the new strength he had.

Sickened. That's what he felt for Luiz. It's always this feeling. His ambition is gone. His desire to have luxury was also gone. What Liza wanted was a simple, established, and fine life, far from being cruel and cold.

Liza had long lost her soul. He started to get bored. Yep. That's what he started to experience. Standing beside Luiz, acting like a kind princess ready to submit to her king, adoring him to the full, until Liza lost her own value and life. Oh. Really sad.

Liza rubbed the small pendant she was wearing. She smiled and quickly kissed the object of her mother's long-time companion every difficult day.

This pendant is a gift for his seventeenth birthday, and until now still faithful he used to decorate the neckline. A sacred thing he got from a loved one.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I have chosen the wrong path. I sank more and more every day, lost air, and fell into the center of a terrifying abyss. There's nothing I can do but give up the situation and accept the bad luck that's coming, Mom." Liza whispered softly, making the pendant as a medium for her to complain.

Liza is a pretty introverted person. He was used to doing things alone and keeping secrets by himself, without anyone knowing. That's why he's Luiz's confidant. Every piece of information that the man had told her was always Liza taking good care of it. He is a person who does not like to divulge important and sensitive things.

If he has an unpleasant situation, Liza often expresses it glibly on favorite objects. For him, objects are important tools that can be a good medium in terms of keeping secrets.

Its nature is mute. Harmless and loyal. In contrast to people who easily turn around his words and often his mouth brings disaster.
