The Strongest Swordsman
Chapter 4 - Mbah Ali

"Can Mbah tell me that?" ask Seno Ajidarma.

"Definitely Den. Mbah will tell you what Mbah knows,"

The Mbah Ali took a deep breath before telling a story. Several times he breathed his breath. It was as if he was putting out the heavy burden that was in his mind. Like not having the heart to tell the real events.

Moreover, he himself was still imagining how terrifying the bloody event was.

"It was midnight, incidentally Mbah was patrolling with the surrounding residents. Mbah along with three other residents around the village. Coincidentally through Aden's house. At that time Mbah saw that there were thirty people dressed differently trying to enter the house. They follow them from behind. The situation at Aden's house is already deserted. It seems like Master and the others are already sleeping,"

"That didn't hold them?" tanya Seno Ajidarma cuts the story of Mbah Ali.

"The intention is Mbah also wants to go in there. But Mbah was even confronted by a tenth of people dressed all in black. Their abilities were also quite decent, making it a bit troublesome. Long story short after fighting for a while, Mbah had already managed to clear those people up. But when Mbah heads to Aden's house, everything has changed,"

"Three dozens of people were gone. They're lost somewhere. No one knows how it went. Or maybe through the back door, Mbah doesn't know either. Out of curiosity, Mbah decides to go inside,"

"Once inside, the situation there was nothing more than a place of slaughter. The bodies are here and there. Blood pooled, the smell of rancid pierced the nose to make Mbah feel nauseous. But Mbah tried to stay strong, Mbah entered deeper and deeper to find Master and Nyai (Mrs). But it's too late. They both died. There Mbah believes Aden also knows for himself," Mbah Ali said recounting the bloody events he knew.

Seno Ajidarma does know the continuation of the story. He saw how all his family was killed with glaring eyes. They died like they couldn't believe it. It seemed like out of those many people, there was one person that his family knew.

But who that person is, until now still not known with certainty.

"Do any of these people know of Mbah?" tanya Seno Ajidarma continues to urge Mbah Ali.

The old man seemed to think for a moment. He was remembering back.

"It looks like there's a Den,"

"Who's Mba?"

"Ragedenta,"

"Huhuh? Pa-paman Ragedenta was among the people who killed my father?" seno Ajidarma asked deeply in disbelief.

He knows who Ragedenta is. Ragedenta was his own uncle. His father's biological sister. Indeed he is a martial people, even quite have a name also in the lake river.

But the question is, is he really including the culprit? Did a younger sibling kill a sibling?

For what reason did his uncle do all this?

Seno Ajidarma. His brain is turning. His heart seemed to fall into the most basic abyss. He desperately wanted to not believe Mbah Ali's words.

Unfortunately Seno can not. Because anyone knows that his whole life Mbah Ali never lied. Not even a little. If it had been A, then there was no way he would have told B.

"Is Mbah sure?"

"Very sure Den. Although it is old, but Mbah eyes can still be used properly. In addition, the Great Lord Dharma also called out the name Ragedenta, just before Aki actually reached beside him," Mbah Ali said.

Agung Dharma is the name of his father Seno Ajidarma. If his father screams, then Mbah Ali's words are true.

It's just that until now Seno Ajidarma is not out of thought. What was the purpose of his uncle doing this act?

"The Wolves of Sota, Nyai Genit, the people of the Black Golok College, and a few other figures again," replied Mbah Ali.

Seno Ajidarma is getting stupefied. His father could have died horribly. It turns out he was rocked by some figures. Both her sister and mother may be handled by the others.

Seno Ajidarma growled furiously. His revenge came back out. He could hardly control himself. His face was red. So too with his eyes.

Clearly, now the young man was holding back a huge amount of anger.

"Bah, I want to ask Mbah for help. If Mbah can respond to my request, I am very grateful. But if not, it's not a problem,"

"What was Den's request?" mbah Ali did not understand.

"I ask you to take care of Mbah and take care of my father's home and all my business" Seno Ajidarma said directly to his core request.

"But Den, the Dharma family business is very much. Mbah was afraid that Aden would not believe," Mbah Ali replied hesitantly.

"That's not to worry, I believe," Seno said as he patted the old man's shoulder.

Mbah Ali actually wanted to reject Seno Ajidarma's request. Especially at the age that is as old as now. Of course he will not be able to take care of the house and all the business left by the Great Lord Dharma.

But after remembering all the goodness to him, then inevitably Mbah Ali must accept Seno Ajidarma's request.

"Alright Den. I will try as much as possible,"

"Thank you mba. This kindness I won't forget,"

Mbah Ali nodded with a smile. Both of them drank coffee that was getting cold.

Suddenly silent atmosphere. Seno Ajidarma does not know where to start. But his heart was already determined to take revenge for the death of his family and teacher.

Because if not so, maybe their spirits have not felt calm in the afterlife.

"What will Aden do now?" tanya Mbah Ali broke the silence.

"I'm determined to avenge Mba. It's just, I'm confused where to start,"

Mbah Ali smiled. He had been in the position of Seno Ajidarma when he first intended to plunge into the martial world. So when the young man said that, he already knew what to say.

"Aden had to find the people who were concerned with this event. Also look for a friend of Aden who may be a swordsman, if there is one. Ask them for help to investigate everything to be clear. In order for Aden to get information, both about the martial world and so on, Aden just look for a crowded store. Surely Aden will get what he wants" Mbah Ali said.

Seno Ajidarma smiled happily. Finally now he knows what to do. After getting advice from Mbah Ali, a little bit of the young man had already gotten a picture of what he should do next.

"Good Mba. Thank you, tonight I'll start the adventure,"

"Well, Mbah will always pray for you Den. Mbah's message, Aden must always be vigilant. For those who are in the world of peace are mostly those who are cunning. Always selfish, not thinking about others. Aden should be able to distinguish these types of people. Which should be made friends, which should not. Your horn action will get a proper reply. Therefore, do well even wherever Aden is. If Aden wants to be considered human, then Aden must humanize human beings,"

"Thank Mba.. I will definitely remember all of Mbah's teachings" Seno Ajidarma said with gratitude.
