Instantly, a dense, pitch-black light radiated from the tip of the keris. Dwi Toro’s eyes widened in shock, his teeth chattering as he endured the excruciating pain whilst the dark energy seeped into his body.“Aaaaaa....”Dwi Toro screamed and groaned, writhing violently on the teak bed. However, Chief Suro Menggala remained silent, continuing to chant his incantation until the black light at the tip of his keris faded. Dwi Toro slumped limply, unconscious. The Chief immediately walked away, leaving his subordinate lying there helpless.“Contact everyone. Assemble immediately!” ordered Chief Suro Menggala coldly.“Yes, sir!” replied one of the guards, who immediately set about carrying out the order.The man walked towards a grand underground chamber. He sat in a tall, intricately carved chair, gazing at the still-empty round table with a sharp, steady gaze. Before long, the sound of synchronised footsteps echoed through the corridor. The large door swung open; ten trusted member

Rahayu smiled slightly as she looked at her own reflection in the mirror, before finally rejoining her boss and colleagues.Meanwhile, on the journey, Stella glanced over at Zaqqy again. She noticed her mobile phone, which showed it was 19.20 WIB.“Who was that woman, Zaqqy?” Stella asked suddenly.“She’s my neighbour, Miss.”“Oh, I see,” replied Stella briefly. She didn’t ask any further questions, but her eyes remained fixed intently on the road ahead.The car sped through the night until it arrived at the main house. Zaqqy escorted Stella to the door of her room on the third floor. After making sure his employer was safe, Zaqqy headed to his own room to freshen up. He changed out of his night shift uniform, which turned out to be different from his daytime uniform. This time he wore black trousers and a black T-shirt with red stripes down each side.“Thank goodness it’s not that white jacket again. I feel like a bride when I wear that,” muttered Zaqqy, shaking his head. Once

Dwi Toro replied briefly. He got into the car and immediately sped off from the house.“I could see Mr Dwi Toro was in pain, but he was trying to act as if nothing was wrong. Is he heading to the Suro Menggala group’s main residence?” asked one of the aides. “It’s possible. Mr Dwi Toro does tend to spend more time there.” They promptly closed the gate and resumed their guard duty.Meanwhile, Zaqqy had spent the whole day accompanying Stella through her incredibly busy schedule. They had completed one meeting after another, as well as meetings in various locations. At that moment, Stella was gazing out at the city streets from inside the car with a weary look.“I’d like to go to a café. Do you know the best café in this city? I’ve only been here for three months, Zaqqy, so I’m not very familiar with the places around here yet. But Dad has put his trust in me to handle all the business matters,” said Stella.“I know of one café, Miss. It’s just quite a long way from here.”“That’s

Stella ended the conversation with a triumphant smile, then simply walked away from Steffi. She approached Zaqqy and gave him a sweet smile.“Come on, Zaqqy. Today’s meeting’s over. Don’t get too close to her, all right? She’s like a caterpillar—once she latches on, it’ll make you itch. Do you understand?” Stella warned, winking and mimicking a caterpillar crawling with her fingers.Zaqqy just looked at her with a hint of surprise, but he immediately went back to his usual self. “I understand, Miss,” Zaqqy replied briefly.He followed Stella out of the restaurant. However, Zaqqy glanced back briefly; Steffi was still there, winking and waving her little hand at him. Zaqqy simply shook his head at the woman’s behaviour and carried on walking.“After this, we’ve got a meeting at the AD Hotel. You know where it is, don’t you? You said earlier that you knew every place in this city,” said Stella as soon as they reached the car.“I do know, Young Lady. You needn’t worry. Please faste

They asked in unison. The eight women looked puzzled.“It’s nothing out of the ordinary; I think it’s a matter of business rivalry. That’s the preliminary assessment from my bodyguard,” said Stella, then turned to Zaqqy. “Right, Zaqqy?”“That’s the most likely scenario, Young Lady,” replied Zaqqy, his face expressionless. He didn’t even glance in the direction of Stella’s friends, who were watching him intently.“Right then, let’s wrap up today’s discussion. There are a few things that got put on hold because I wasn’t here yesterday, weren’t there?” suggested Stella.Her friends nodded. The conversation began, punctuated by occasional laughter. Several women there kept glancing at Zaqqy, admiring his dashing and aloof appearance. Before they knew it, two hours had passed. The meeting came to an end and they began to disperse.“Stella, I’d like to have a quick word. Could you ask your bodyguard to step aside for a moment?” whispered Steffi, winking.“Sure,” Stella smiled faintly b

Dwi Toro cursed in pain. He quickly got to his feet, clutching his chest, which was throbbing with excruciating pain. Zaqqy rushed after him, but Dwi Toro was quicker to get into his car and immediately put his foot down to make a getaway.“Bloody cheek!” Zaqqy cursed. He returned to his car and was startled. “Goodness me, Miss! I’m surprised to see you here,” Zaqqy said, shocked to see Stella had moved to the front seat. “Should we chase after him, Miss?” he asked, immediately changing the subject.“No need. I don’t know him. What was his motive for attacking us? Was he targeting you, or what exactly did he want?” Stella asked in return, her tone probing.“I don’t know either, Young Lady. Perhaps he intended to attack you, but since I’ve been working with you, I thwarted his plan. If someone like you is attacked, that’s nothing out of the ordinary, is it? You come from a distinguished family; there must be business rivalry amongst you.”Stella adjusted her sitting position and faste
