THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Peary 116. Moscow 4th
"I know harming a fellow family is wrong. I'm sorry." I'm straight up right now. It's so funny, my arch-enemy came here and apologized, and said harming a fellow family is wrong.
So they consider me a family now, even in my wildest dreams I never expected this kind of result. I'm considered a Jovovich family.
"You're so funny, since when did Jovovich become my family? You guys come here and apologize, is there something you're afraid of me for? Your apologies are so insincere. What kind of family are you, don't make a comedy in front of me." I'm still laughing, it's so funny.
Everyone is silent. Even Artur thought how to answer my blatant slurs.
"Yes maybe you're right this is insincere. But we never actually targeted you. Just this time Yuriy was asked by Sergie to woe you. Although in the past you must have had complaints with margaritas but it was never the business of the Jovovich family, it was Margaritas who targeted you. We're family or I've personally never targeted you." Artur explained it at length.
Yeah maybe that means, if I were targeted personally, I'd die by name.
"You licked your tongue with me, Margarita is your sister, Sergie is your niece she's Jovovich how different you are from her. At least three of you want to kill*hmu, but you shamelessly use my grill."
"She's my sister, but I never took care of her family, her family is her personal business, she has a difficult relationship with your mother, her actions never involve family, her family, he's acting personally and actually until now you come back he's never bothered you, even though yes he did cause you a lot of trouble." Artur was still explaining at length as if his explanation would save him from trouble.
"You're apologizing by mentioning technical considerations?" Artur was silent, he seemed to be facing me wrong. "What do you guys want? So you're here to say you're not guilty and I'd better forget about this. Very smart, it seems you have a very high bargaining power. Jovovich is impressive."
"We know an apology isn't enough? How about this, you can ask us to do anything if we're able to do it we'll do for you." Suddenly he came out with another offer.
"Ohhh Really, anything." It seems that if I told him to kill someone he would. Maybe he's some kind of agent who has blind obedience to him.
"True, whatever you want. If we can afford it we won't refuse." This time Artur himself said it should his words be trustworthy otherwise he would be extremely unbelievable as a patriarch.
I looked at them with various considerations in my head. "So you want to say sorry. What are the conditions for you to give me this request?"
"I just want you not to mention my problem to my colleagues." It's true he didn't want me to mention the things that had happened. His career seems to mean a lot to him.
"As it turned out. Unfortunately I disagree with 2x requests, I want 3 requests."
"How so much. Sergie only attacked you once."
"Everytime? You joke. I'll tell you what he's done. The first request to pay for the things Margarita did to me, the second request to pay for the assassination attempt Yuriy made to me, the third request to pay for the attempted reconnaissance and intimidation done to my lover." I mentioned everything they've done.
Now Artur looked at Yuriy, asking for confirmation of my words.
"Is that right, you're watching her lover?"
"Yes, that's right." Yuriy had no choice but to let go of what he had done in front of Artur.
He had no real choice, if he didn't admit it, he already imagined Alexsey Mashkov would happily say the bad things his colleague chief said. I have met many important people. And these people treated me as their golden son, how they had the courage to refuse the request I was about to make.
"Good-good. That's very nice." It turned out that they were afraid they could not face me, I was so happy, my mind immediately went to look for what I could do with this very free request.
"Then I have my first request..." Artur's eyes immediately looked at me.
"Of course, please tell us what you want."
"Well, I want you to tell Margarita to make Sergie apologize in front of me and blame her in front of me, tell her to follow me to Montreal with her son, apologize to my lover and me, say she's to come to Montreal, apologizing for ruining our lives."
Now Artur's eyes were filled with shock at my request.
"You want them to meet you in Montreal."
"Of course, they should apologize properly in front of me and my lover. You go there to express your intentions sincerely, the evidence of sincerity must not exist. We can't just trust an apology, something has to be done."
Now he looks at me with thoughts I don't know in his mind.
"But-but,..." I immediately stopped his words by pointing my hand at him.
"I don't accept any compromise, if this isn't done, you can forget about the other requests, just think of them as non-existent and be prepared for the possibility of whatever the future holds. I was hoping you'd be lucky, Mr. Jovovich. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll kill you."
"Wait a minute, I can't decide now, I have to talk to my sister, because she's going to do it." You said yourself I can ask for anything, it turns out the power of the patriarch is not absolute either. There's still a lot he can't do. It's disappointing.
"If so soon speak to your sister, if she doesn't want to bother with the other two requests, you should pray for yourself with what happens in the future.
"Well, I'll tell them." I feel like my request will cause a tempest. I watched Sergie go berserk and didn't accept she had to apologize to me. That spoiled kid always felt he deserved me more.
"For your record you shouldn't have to force this because it's impossible, my mother and stepbrother apologized. A very magical act." I laughed at myself imagining it. "You should know first that even your sister sent me to Canada at the age of 13 for fear that I would snatch Father's love. Besides as you say he hates my mother, also clearly hates me, no need to reconcile disputes that are clearly irreconcilable. It was futile."
"I'll try to ask them." He still insists on trying to protect his reputation and career. Or perhaps he was trying to become a higher official and what I was about to do would tarnish his perfect reputation.
In retrospect, what about the news of the KGB chief abusing his power to kill one of his besieged families. Who could stand up to such news.
"Sihlakan, you've got a month limit. Don't push yourself too much. Because I'm sure it won't work."
This time I made an impossible request, if they could do it it would most definitely be a Margarita who was pressured by her sister who did not want her career to be affected.
I imagine the situation must be very awkward for them.
