The Rhyme of the Depositary

153 - SEASON 2

Luiz sat behind a table in the living room of the house that he had not used for a long time. This house is one of his assets in New York. At this time Luiz finally chose to use this house as his temporary headquarters in charming Alice and Violin. In front of him, sat James in a relaxed style.

"How's your wife?" ask Luiz flat.

"good. He's starting to act submissive." James answered briefly. There was no significant rebellion from Violin last night. Until this morning, the woman still seemed busy with her own thoughts. James had checked it directly from the laptop in his room.

"good. When are you gonna finish him off?" ask Luiz later.

"Later. After you finish off Klayver!" James said he didn't like it.

His conscience begins to rebel whenever Jmaes imagines killing his own wife. Usually James hears of a wife murder case like it was perpetrated by a psychopath. It was unexpected that he would now do such a vile thing. Really am. James is really in a moral slump.

"You're starting to regret joining me?" tanya Luiz saw the reaction from her partner.

James began partnering with Luiz shortly before. Luiz offered something James couldn't get from Violin. Partly area. In this way, James didn't take long to agree.

James was also an informant for Luiz. Including when Violin planned the murder of Luiz. He warns Luiz and tells Luiz to finish off the Violins himself.

When Violin in the fog asked his men who had betrayed him, James only directed Violin subtly to his own guards. The suspicion finally stopped limited to the Violin guards and ended miserably. The woman tortured all out her men to get a confession. It's the same. The Violin Guards knew nothing because James was the one who acted. Those people became a tumbler for Violin's anger.

Tonight, James also launched his mission. He made excuses to take away the Violin guards guarding Alice and left her the two weakest among them. It was easy for James to take down the two remaining bodyguards. His efforts were quite smooth with the ambush carried out by Luiz's men. In other words, James is just a pretty capable intermediary.

"No. What are you sorry for? Rice has become porridge. It's too late for me to get back to the point!" James answered what it was. He was too late to return. James has broken Violin's trust. Deliver Klayver's life, Violin, and danger to Alice. Regret is something that is quite late for him.

"really. For the size of people who dive into a dark world like ours, it is already impossible to return either. There are too many manipulations that we have done. We may already have a special ticket to hell!" Luiz chuckled slightly, realizing the truth of his words.

In a dark world, there are indeed times when one would regret choosing the wrong path. Sometimes it is too late to fix everything. Life goes on. Make some people who have committed sins inevitably stuck with themselves. The longer, the more terrifying.

"You're right. So, when are you gonna call Klayver? Have you got the latest information?" james asked seriously. Finding Klayver's whereabouts is not easy. Sometimes the man goes somewhere without certainty.

"You're father. Give me her phone number and I'll call her now!" Luiz took just any paper on his desk and a ballpoint pen. He simply handed it to James and waited for the man to write a line of numbers.

"This time Klayver can't be reached!" James said weakly.

These few months Klayver went to settle his unfinished business. No one knows the phone number that could connect him to Klayver. Even Alice. It was difficult for them to make direct contact with Klayver.

Luiz who heard that felt unacceptable. He glared sharply at James and took out an expletive.

"What kind of parent are you, who doesn't know his own son's contacts?" luiz asked inexhaustibly.

The times have started to turn crazy. Many parents do not know the history of their own children.

"The brave old man sacrificed his son and wife for his own purposes!" James replied to Luiz's words no less sadistic.

James currently feels he has no self-respect. He was determined to sacrifice those closest to him for ambition. Never did he think it turned out to be so hard to sacrifice them one by one. First Violin, then Klayver, then Alice. How dirty James' hands will be. His own hands will be stained with the blood of his family.

"That's how life goes, James. Everything needs a price. Nothing is free in this world. If you really want to have a position and self-esteem, your wife and children must be removed first. Didn't I tell you being in the shadow of your own wife is excruciating?" Luiz asked a serious question. The question managed to get into James' heart and was well processed by his brain.

This is what James wanted. Position and recognition. One over. Self esteem. To get all of that, everything needs sacrifice. Certainly not a small sacrifice.

"Can you stop talking about this?" james was uncomfortable. He shuffled for a moment from his seat, trying to shake off his conscience that a moment ago was present without him wanting.

"alright. Now think of a way for me to get in touch with Klayver. I need to solve this problem as soon as possible!" Luiz is back on Klayver.

"I told you nothing!" This time James emphasized his words more seriously. He looked at Luiz bravely. These two people showed their strength.

"Lantas, what do you suggest?" ask Luiz impatiently. He needs to be sure as soon as possible what they need to do in the future.

"Just wait here. As long as you have Alice, Klayver will come to you! I guarantee! He's very possessive of his wife."

James recalled how Klayver would defend Alice desperately. The love Klayver had turned out to be a very big and majestic thing. Make one of them willing to do other dangerous things.

"How long?" ask Luiz doesn't like it. He started looking for Klayver first. Waiting is something Luiz doesn't like.

"Klayver is a person who has eyes and ears everywhere. It was not difficult for him to know the hidden things. I think after the news of Alice's disappearance broke, surely one of Klayver's envoys would try to figure out where the woman was. That's when you need to prepare yourself for a fierce fight" James advised cautiously.

"Is that so? I have to let Klayver find myself?" Luiz. He rubbed his chin a few times, thinking about what James had said .

"Yes. Impossible to find it." James stood up and walked around the room.

Imagining Klayver about to be slaughtered in a moment really made James feel chaotic. Oh God. After all, Klayver was still his son. Best son. His conscience now tries to defy all of James's previously seemingly perfectly planned will.

"What's wrong with you, James? Do you feel sorry?" Luiz made sure. She doesn't like guys that are planless. Moreover, the pretentious man uses his conscience again even though he had previously transacted with the devil. Things like that were very annoying for Luiz.

Conscience is what Luiz hates most. He assumed that one would only be trapped in a dilapidated life if one continued to use conscience. The luxury and money that exist in this world will be very difficult to find just by using conscience. Can someone with a conscience be full? Can a person with a conscience be rich? Can someone with a conscience succeed?

All of that is just the principle of***** that people have been promoting all this time. In the end, it is the will and hard work that leads us to success. But in some cases, there comes a time when a person leaves his conscience to do what he wants. That way, what one wants can be achieved in all ways. We can't live with restrictions. Conscience, morals, and conscience are the most unreasonable restrictions in social life. That's what Luiz really thinks.

Luiz doesn't want to be a hypocrite. He has gone through many processes in this life. From the easiest process to the most difficult. From the most normal process to the one full of manipulative and intrigue. He is no longer surprised by the many crimes that exist. He was also not surprised to hear many cases of moral contradictions. Maybe Luiz himself was the culprit of all that. Therefore, he likes people who do not have certain restrictions. That way, their goal can be achieved easily.

"I'm not you, Luiz. He can do things without a heart. I am a husband and a father. What do you think I feel when I eliminate my own wife and son? Only a madman can push the trigger of a gun to the head of their family with a single smile."

James spoke boldly. For a man like Luiz, anything should be clearly expressed. Luiz was a person who knew no regrets. His hands are as bloody as Klayver's. The difference is, Luiz never has restrictions on killing while his son has strong enough restrictions.

James thought of something. Could it be that if he had been hanging out with a man like Luiz for a long time, at some point later, would his conscience be at risk of being lost? Would James act anything on the side of mere practicality? If so, James would probably be someone very scary later on.

Although James had not acted as an angel, James had never acted as a demon. He has strong boundaries that he held until yesterday. Now, those boundaries began to slowly collapse. Leaving James in a boundless void.

Could this be called life without a heart? One can be successful, one can be rich, one can be famous. But if it is without a heart, what does it all mean? There is only emptiness that lies throughout this heart.

"Uhs. You seem like a plan guy. I told you if you want to get out of a prison called wife restraints and restrictions, you have to step out and fight them head-on. That's the true meaning of freedom."

James sat down on the big chair. He made both of his arms a nape support. Leisurely, the man looked at James who was currently in a dilemma.

"You think, why don't I get married, James? If I want, any woman I can get. But I don't like the restrictions that come with it. In addition, the presence of children will also be our weakness. The enemy can take and threaten my position in certain ways. I advise you to return to your original resolve and do not try to turn around. Believe, James. I don't really like people who plan. To me, they're just trash that needs to be eliminated."

Luiz flicked his finger, gesturing and threatening James. The man needs to be made aware of who he is dealing with.

James turned his back to Luiz. Without being reminded, he actually knew he was too late to return home. There was no way for him to turn around. Everything he had decided to leave behind was already an enemy to him. After all, Violin's confidence in him had also been dashed. What's the point of going back home?

"I know my position, Luiz. I know who I am now. There's no way for me to go back. The only thing I can do is blind my eyes and be a mean man like you."

A satisfied grin was printed clearly on the corner of Luiz's lips. Goody. That's what Luiz needs to hear right now.
