Swordsman Without Friends
Angel Copet and the Mutant Lives.
The boat had already moved through the flow of the Wareng river, although the large ship belonging to the Kali Wareng River Plough which had sunk and washed away by the rushing currents had been left very far behind. the fight with Ki Betik Kawak the leader of the river plow had also passed since last afternoon, but the anger and resentment of contempt in the heart of the Iron Paddle Demon still felt burning his soul.
The day began to move towards the end of the twilight, the flock of birds had flown back to its nest after a day of searching for food.Redish orange sun rays on the western horizon refracts a glistening light on the surface of the river.
Actually, the atmosphere of twilight was quite beautiful to enjoy, but was unable to eliminate the wrath in the heart of the rower of the boat.for the umpteenth time he snorted, but was unable to get rid of the snorting, the oar swung even harder and faster than before making the boat also go faster.The power in this person was indeed quite high.
''For what reason do you hold a sense of anger, after all it has happened. indeed you want to turn around and chase after him.?'' there was a reprimand sound from inside the small room shelter in the middle of the boat.The sound can be ascertained that the talk was quite old.
''I just feel annoyed that I have let a bastard named Ki Betik Kawal and his two followers escape from before me. Damn, what a damn thing. how could that bastard get the flag of the Devil Archway party.?''
''Maybe now it is in your heart to be ashamed of being afraid of the Gapura Devils party, but I know very well that in fact you are only worried that the Maling Kilat society is cross-documented with the strongest black party.!''
''You don't have to worry, what you're doing is right after all from what I've heard to be able to have the flag while getting protection from the Devil's Gate, after all, people have to pay a very expensive price for every certain period of time.if the person is no longer able to pay his tribute, the flag will be taken back and the guarantee of protection is ended..''
''People like Betik Kawak will not be able to continue to pay security tributes to the Devil's Gate.if that time comes, killing him is an easy matter..''
Hearing the speech of the person in the booth made the heart of the Iron Paddle Demon slightly relieved.the iron paddle back swinging carrying the boat continues to go upstream of the Wareng river.
Meanwhile in the room where the shelter looks an old man with a black dress made of expensive cloth is sitting relaxed while sucking a pipe of shell smelling incense smoke. the ten fingers of parents who may have reached seventies years old wear ten colored diamond-eyed gold cicin. from his style others will think that he is a landlord or a wealthy businessman.
But on the contrary one would never have guessed that this human being was the head of a gathering of thieves in the martial jungle known as 'Angel Copet.!'
Once again he sucked a tobacco pipe mixed with incense on the lips of his peot.a sickening white smoke blew into the body figure of a thin young man full of scars who lay weakly on the floor of the boat. the old man who was summoned as the chairman by the Iron Paddle Demon was also astonished, why could he be interested in this crippled sickly young man.
''Is it because I still harbor resentment with the Mutant Lives who chose to join the group of 13 Assassins. a few months ago he reappeared with a blood-soaked five-dozen-year-old youth.
Unknowingly Angel Copet remembered the incident three months ago.at that midnight there was someone who tucked into the headquarters of his association. from his very easy movement through the secret passageways without being known by dozens of members of the Maling Kilat society, it can be ascertained that in addition to the knowledge of this person is very high as well as knowing the ins and outs of the place.
Angel Copet who was still in his seminary training also only realized that there were other people present in his private room.
The ordinary-faced, long-haired gray-haired old man in the ponytail was laying the body of a young man in white clothes who was injured by a stab in his chest. Angel Copet was not acquainted with this severely injured young man, but he knew very well who the long-haired old man was.
''The two bangka the 'Maling Lives'., I thought you were no longer willing to come here because you had a good life in the association of 13 Killer.!'' reprimanded Angel Copet cynically held back a growled feeling.
The one in the insinuations just grinned while scratching his head and turning his head to look ''Can you hold your anger on me first, now I need your help to be able to treat it..''
Unknowingly the Angel Copet also examined the fifteen-year-old's body.he was stunned when he touched the chest of the young man.although clearly his chest was stabbed but his heart was still strong pulsating.
''This young man has a very rare congenital heart defect. his bone structure is also quite good.This child is good enough to be taught silat., do not say that you are interested in him Maling Lives..''
''Hee., he., honestly I was indeed interested in this child after seeing his recklessness fighting with some wolves. even he dared to sacrifice one hand as bait to be able to cut the tongue of the animal to death bled out..''
''If I remembered the behavior of this boy, I became horrified myself.!'' muttered the Maling Lifespan. ''Please help this child, at least remember our brotherly relationship..''
''Brotherhood you said, is it by running away from Maling Lightning and joining the group of 13 Assassins, you are still worthy to mention the word brotherhood.?'' damprat Angel Copet wrath.so he wanted him to spit on the face of his former comrade who had been together to establish this Maling Kilat society.but it was undone when he saw the Maling Nyawa prostrate in front of him.
''I beg you to treat this child, you know I never kneel before anyone. I would rather die than do it. But for the greater good I would do it.!''
Angel Copet was stunned.he knew very well who the person kneeling in front of him was. Don't look at his innocent-looking attitude, this human is more dangerous than a poisonous snake. this person had never been afraid of anything either, but now he was willing to humble himself to his knees before him.
''If you want to help him I will explain why I joined the group of 13 Killer.'' said the Maling Lifespan while wiping the thumb and index finger of his puffed right hand.
''Then explain the reason, if it makes sense I will accept your request, but if you try to lie, you will feel the science of 'Death Opium Smoke' from me.!'' threatening Angel Copet.
His companion slowly rose to his feet while taking a heavy breath. ''Actually all of this has to do with the descendants of the 'Golden Goose Palace.!''
Since that time the Maling Lives seemed to disappear not because of the loss.even reportedly the group of 13 Assassins had also lost track.
''Hhmm., you idiot.why are you also struggling to participate in the power struggle in the Golden Goose palace.although the stockpile of treasures and heirlooms that are said to be there is tempting, indeed, but I know you're not interested in any of that..''
''You said that the young man you brought is what your accomplice would be to destroy the group of 13 Assassins from within. Hee., he., your ideals I think are too grandiose..''
''Alright Maling Lives., you can have good stuff like that boy who has a heart defect. Right now in front of me there is also an attractive limp boy., he said., so let's see you later you old bastard.!'' swear the Angel Copet while sucking the pipe.
Boats continue to advance to the area upstream of the Wareng river. Dusk has changed night, crescent moon and stars covered in thick clouds.as the herd of bats that came out looking for food drizzle rain began to fall to earth.
