Seven o'clock in Washington DC time and beyond...
Tonight is a summer night. The weather was hot following the change of season. Not as usual, the wind. White clouds are adorning the sky tonight. Bright starry with a crescent-shaped moon.
In a 5x4-metre workspace, a man in a black suit received a phone call. His face was not very pleasant to see. It was as dull and as if he was filled with high anger. He cursed someone across the street. It turned out that the task he gave was foiled by the universe.
"Stupid you!!!"
He also nodded in his regret. Clenching the hands of angry and disappointed omens that chime one. He immediately turned off his phone. Pulling up the chair and sitting down panting. Like running out of air in an instant.
"Why? Why must everyone fail? Why?!!"
He shouted in the middle of his empty study, with no one there. He seemed frustrated and regretted why all his plans could fail. His anger also peaked because his desire was not fulfilled.
"Rain, you must die. I don't want the throne of the organization you have. Before hearing of your death, my life will not be at peace. I have to destroy you. Maybe by holding your wife hostage. Yes, your wife." It's like crazy on its own.
He is Nick, the grandson of the ruler of the world economy. He was filled with a deep envy towards Rain. Rain did nothing to her. Even Rain seemed to let go of what had happened to him because of Nick's actions. But for some reason Nick was terrified when he saw Rain, returning to Washington DC. He wants to destroy Rain forever.
It was secretly noticed by Sam who was waiting for Nick at the door. The grandfather apparently eavesdropped on the thing that happened to his grandson. He then walks in and surprises Nick who is frustrated inside. He was present in the midst of the annoyance that Nick felt. Nick was surprised by his grandfather's presence.
"Well-grandpa?!"
Nick did not expect the eighty-year-old man to come and enter his room holding a brown stick. The look on Sam's face was not good to see. He looked angry at his grandson.
"I've heard it all, Nick." Sam caught Nick.
The phone was a call from Nick's men who reported that they failed to eliminate Rain. Of course it makes Nick ride the apoplexy and curse them. Unknowingly, the grandfather was in front of the door of his room.
"Grandfather, I-I ...." Nick can't say anything.
Sam stood straight in front of Nick. He showed his authority as a grandfather and also the throne holder of the organization.
"You desperately want the throne of the organization until you have to hide to eliminate your brother. Didn't you take a lesson from what happened to your grandfather?" ask Sam who is standing in front of Nick.
Their distance was only about three meters. From this Sam can see how much Nick wants to master the organization. Sam looked at his granddaughter with pity. He remembered something that had happened in his past. The time when he did the same to his brother was just to fight for the throne of the organization. But he seems to regret it now.
"I'm-I .. I don't like it, Cake. I don't want him in the organization." Nick finally admitted.
Nick's down. "Maybe." He was embarrassed to admit it.
Sam took a deep breath. "Previously grandfather thought by mastering the throne the organization of life would be happy. But it turned out to be wrong, Nick. Grandfather had to endure the uneasiness of every action that grandfather took. Grandpa even had to check his psychic condition to a psychiatrist to calm down. But in fact, that calm is not obtained from the throne. Unless it's from here." Sam pointed at his heart.
Nick surprised. He did not know why his grandfather could say that to him.
"Maybe Rain is always lucky compared to you. Luck is always on his side. But maybe it's all because of the good fruit of itself. He never did anything strange and always obeyed the rules. Even Jane's classmate was rejected by her. He's so different from you." Grandfather spoke his opinion.
Nick quiet. He doesn't know what to say.
"Rain has resigned from the organization and you no longer deserve to worry about it. You should be worried about yourself, Nick. What you've done is already beyond the confines of the Empire Earth family." Sam seemed to enlighten his grandson.
Nick remained silent.
Sam looked down for a moment. "You know. Anyone who holds the throne of the organization will be bound by the devil's covenant. His life was not calm and was filled with excessive anxiety. Although in fact there are treasures, but still it is not useful at all. Do you want that to happen to you?" Sam asked.
"What-what?!!" At once Nick was also jolted violently. He did not believe what his grandfather said.
"That's right, Nick. Therefore I feel happy if Rain is the one who holds the throne of the organization. Because indirectly he will be bound by the devil's covenant. Where blood must be shed to strengthen his power. However, on the other hand his heart would be overwhelmed with excessive anxiety and fear. But maybe this is what is called luck. He resigned from the organization before the accession of the throne." Sam exposes.
Ja-so ...?
At that time Nick felt deceived by the brilliance of the treasure he wanted to have. He did not expect that the devil's covenant would bind him to the throne of the organization. However, he had gone a long way to get it all. Nick was reluctant to back down from his goal.
"Are you still interested in holding the throne of the organization?" ask Sam again.
Nick swallowed his saliva. He felt hard to take the throne. However, he also felt reluctant to give up all the luxuries that the organization gave him.
"The devil's covenant will happen at the end of your life. You'll feel the same way as me. Then think back to that, Nick." Grandpa asked for.
Sam immediately turned around and stepped towards Nick's office exit. He left his granddaughter who was being overwhelmed with concern for worldly pleasures. Nick himself seemed to be unable to do anything as his grandfather left. He let Sam leave the room. While Sam continues to move his feet outdoors while hoping Nick reconsiders his wishes. He didn't want Nick to experience the same thing.
The deal will never end. Nick, weigh back your wishes.
Sam hoped in his heart.
