Love Petal Falls's
Love petals bloom 21
Flashback 12 years ago...
Anglo is the main headquarters of the Black Serpents located in the 4th district of the city of Montegi. An independent organization that stands between black and white, which works not on the basis of profit. Perhaps you could say the dark organizations that often help the mafia in the Illegal trade such as smuggling drugs to firearms they do.
But besides that, they can also take refuge behind state officials, because of their role which also likes to help law enforcement and police to uncover cases, to carry out secret missions of the country, as well, making Black Serpents have flexibility over the written rules.
As usual, the main room will always be crowded, a space where all members of black serpents spend their time in a time when there are no missions or tasks. Some of them are playing billiards, poker, even jotos to death there. For Ryuzen there is nothing interesting in Anglo except the commotion that is usually made by him. Starting from tempting other members' women, to deliberately looking for problems with other members.
At that time, Ryuzen in his all-black clothes was leaning back, while enjoying a bottle of wine surrounded by women around him. But suddenly he seemed to be disturbed by the noise caused by Orizel, one of the members of black serpents.
"It's so noisy!" ryuzen screeched then got up from his seat, to ascertain what happened. Everyone seemed to be shrouding in one area as if they were watching a show. Ryuzen was powerless not to approach the crowd, at the sight of a thin man who was about 15 years old, being hit with a punch-and-streak by Orizel and his friends.
"You fucking kid! This is what you'll get if you dare to interrupt my fun!" said Orizel who then again threw a kick towards the boy. Orizel laughed as if he was the one in power at the time.
"Shameful! Just because being able to beat a small insect already feels so stupid, you are indeed a loser!"
Orizel immediately nodded, when he heard the words that came from Ryuzen's mouth that was standing behind the crowd. All eyes were staring at Ryuzen.
"What did you say! You trash mouth!" reply Orizel angry.
"Junk? Not that you're trash than trash!" Ryuzen replied with ease.
The crowd of people seemed to pull over by itself while forming a path, which brought Ryuzen together with Orizel. Orizel stared angrily at Ryuzen, with Ryuzen leisurely standing up, as if waiting for what Orizel would do to him next.
Orizel set foot among the other members and approached Ryuzen with angry eyes.
"You! You think everyone here is scared of you! Huh?!" Orizel gripped onto Ryuzen's clothes and pulled her, his angry eyes staring fully at Ryuzen's self without remaining flat expression.
Ryuzen put away Orizel's hand, which gripped his clothes.
"Who told you to be afraid of me, you cun-dang?"
"Damn it! You.. accept this!"
"Stop!" Just now that Orizel wanted to raise his fist towards Ryuzen, Jiro had already come and stopped him.
"Don't throw a tantrum, if you want to fight to the death fight properly. Don't pollute this room again with the disgusting smell of blood!" jiro is standing between Ryuzen and Orizel.
Ryuzen has no expression! He actually chose to walk closer to the boy who looked miserable due to Orizel's treatment earlier.
Ryuzen crouched down and raised the boy's head looking at him closely. Ryuzen closed his lips to the boy and whispered.
"Patience a moment!"
The boy didn't really understand what Ryuzen said just now. He only knew that if his whole body now felt aches and pains, even the hunger he felt seemed to disappear was eaten by excruciating pain all over his body.
"What do you want? The boy must die! He's not part of Anglo!" orizel hatch.
"What if we just bet. If the child does not die within twelve hours. Then you must hand the boy over to me!" said Ryuzen who had now stood before Orizel.
"And if he dies before twelve hours?" ask Orizel.
"It's up to you what you want from me!"
"Well, if he dies before twelve hours, you must prostrate before my feet and be my servant!"
"Deal!" ryuzen said without hesitation.
What does that guy want from me? That man's aura was more terrifying than the man named Orizel who beat me up earlier!
Ryuzen again approached the boy, lifted him up and then swept him into a soundproof room.
"Why are you doing this to me?" ask the boy who is now on display by Ryuzen.
"Don't know!"
"W-why not let me die, there is no point in me living," with all the remnants of his strength the boy continued to speak.
"If you want to die, why not just stab your heart, why come here to die silly!" Ryuzen.
The two of them arrive in front of a soundproof room, Ryuzen opens the door and takes the boy he saw into the room, then sits him down.
Ryuzen lit his match which was used to burn a cigarette in his mouth at that time.
"Hey, catch this!" ryuzen exclaimed, who then threw his match towards the boy.
"You'll have to survive twelve hours if you want to get out of this place, but if you'd rather die just use that match to burn this room down!" ryuzen then leaves the man.
~~
The boy either raged in the choice of living and believing in Ryuzen, or died for nothing in this place.
I am worthless, no one wants me to live. But...why does that man want me to live? Am I valuable enough to him?
The boy kept staring at a match nearby. He grabbed the match and tried to light it but his finger was not strong enough to light it.
Maybe my destiny is still to live! thought the boy, until unconsciously his eyes slowly closed until he fell into a deep sleep.
~~
Suddenly the door of the soundproof room opened, three men entered so easily. The boy's eyes slowly opened with force, and what he immediately saw was, two of them three that he knew. One is a man named Orizel and the other is Ryuzen who is now developing a smile full of intrigue on his lips.
"Twelve hours is one minute! The boy! You're great" Ryuzen told the man.
Orizel could only growl furiously, "Ryuzen what did you give him so he could survive?"
"You think I cheated?"
"Yes! Everyone knows you're the slickest, most manipulative human being ever!"
"God! Only a true loser would accuse others of cheating Orizel!"
"Damn! You!" Orizel was about to hit Ryuzen.
"Why fight? Which other bone of yours do I want to break?" ryuzen said with ease.
"Enough!" Jiro who had been silent since then finally opened his voice.
"Arizel you know our rules, if you've spoken then it's an oath you must take. You've agreed with Ryuzen, so I hope you accept whatever the outcome!"
Orizel left the room and left.
"Ryuzen, I'm handing the boy over to you!" jiro said, who then left.
"Yes!"
"Hey, you're okay, right?" ryuzen asked the battered and unruly boy for his appearance.
"Drink this!" Ryuzen gave the boy mineral water. He welcomed the mineral water and drank it greedily without waste. Like seeing an oasis in the desert. The mineral water was like the finest mineral water of all time that the boy had ever drank.
"So what's your name?" ryuzen asked the man.
"To-Kenzo!" hesitated answer.
"Good! Kenzo, from this moment on you will work for me. Therefore, be a useful person to me!" ryuzen said as he patted Kenzo's head.
And since then. For Kenzo, Ryuzen was a helper god who saved him from the brink of death. And from that day on, Kenzo swore to serve Ryuzen no matter what.
*Flashback approved
Kenzo grabbed the match in his pocket, then grabbed it. The match given by Ryuzen on the day he was about to die, for Kenzo was one of the most precious objects he had in his life.
"Mr Ryu, thank you! But I'm so tired, so just let me stay here..." Kenzo who began to lose consciousness smiled, and slowly closed his eyelids.
