Mardinal: The Assassin's Adventure
Chapter 31: Intruders Around the Villa
“Loh? How can the lights go out?”
In the middle of the dark living room of the villa, the figure of Irwan came into the room using a mobile phone flashlight as a source of lighting.
He had just finished setting up the trap that Mardin had brought. But when he finished and was about to go inside, suddenly the electricity in the entire villa died, making the building go pitch black.
“Mas Irwan.” Rosa approached her husband while hugging Atna who looked confused. “This how can the gini lamp die? There is a short circuit, yes just install the trapping device earlier? Or did you forget to charge the electricity?”
Irwan. “Neg. There is no short circuit any new fit masang device. Electricity was just filled.”
“Continue, why can it be extinguished like this?”
“Sister Rosa! Bang Irwan!”
About five children aged eight to a dozen years were down the stairs while lighting the way using a flashlight each. They looked panicked, frightened by the sudden pitch-black state in their villa. Two of the youngest children appear to have begun to embrace Rosa and Atna.
“Abang, Brother, the lights in our villa why on the turn off?” ask the tallest of the other children. “So we had a chance to see all the lights in the city are still on.”
“Means only our villas are out of light?” asked Irwan, more astonished.
“The other kids are still on sleep?”
The five children nodded in unison in response to Rosa's question.
Listening to the current state of the villa, Mardin narrowed his blue eyes slightly while looking around. He was sure, something suspicious had happened here.
...~*~*~*~...
“Mwehehehe.
In the forest area next to the villa, there were two mysterious people watching the villa on a tree. One of them chuckled in excitement while looking at using binoculars, so happy when the first stage of their plan was successfully executed.
“You've made sure all the electricity in the whole villa is off, Gondri?” asked the masked man to his partner at the side.
“Already, Tama.” Gondri casually replied, “All is done. We just run the next plan.”
“Hehehe…. Nice, nice.”
Tama kept the binoculars in his pocket of all black clothes, began to stroke his own hands like an antagonist cartoon.
“Then this is the case, we can more easily carry out the next plan. We're going to sneak in, and kill the adults there so we can take the organs, we keep selling. And the children there we will kidnap, we will sell to human trafficking. The money is good enough for us to get away from this crazy planet.”
“Oh…. That, yak?”
“Yo, kelus— Eh?”
Tama just realized that the voice that just said it did not sound like Gondri's voice. He also looked astonished at his partner.
“So you talked, right?”
Gondri turned his head back, not understanding Tama's intentions. “Lah, I thought you were alone.”
Tama slapped Gondri's shoulder in annoyance. “Where may I be clear, I am the real one? You think I'm crazy?!”
“Which said it was me, you know.”
Now, Gondri and Tama have just realized that there are voices of other people besides them nearby. Slowly they tried to look back, gasping in shock when they saw a red-haired youth figure squatting on top of their back tree while giving a friendly smile.
“Hola.” Mardin waved his hand for a moment.
“Akh!”
“Aaakkkh..!”
The two men were knocked out of the tree after being hit by Mardin's kick. Luckily they are able to land well, so as not to cause blisters or body bumps.
Mardin came down from the top of the tree, began to walk casually while whistling, shouldered his cleaver and put one hand into the pocket of his pants.
“Yuhuu…. Who did I find here?” mardin asked slightly bowed for a moment. “You weren't invited, here. Kind of jelangkung aja.”
“Ish!” Tama pointed at Mardin with emotion. “You are like a jelangkung! Nongol suddenly! Who the hell are you?! And what is your business in the day?! You also want to take all our hunts, huh?! Don't expect!”
This red youth actually managed to make Tama ride apoplexy. The rancid style, the provocative way of speaking, everything that was on that young man was really annoying.
Unlike Tama, Gondri realizes that Mardin only wants to provoke their emotions so that they lose focus on the original purpose of kidnapping and taking the organs of the inhabitants of the villa here.
“Tama.” Gondri whispered behind him, “He was just trying to provoke your emotions.”
“Udah, bye, yes..”.
Mardin stopped their interaction. He had a good idea to teach these two people he assumed to be Rogue.
“Here, I will not let you two approach this villa.” Mardin pointed back at the two of them.
“Why not?!” tama said annoyed, making Gondri can only pat his forehead because his partner is difficult to relieve his anger if it comes out.
Mardin sok-sok’an install a style of thinking. “Emm…. It is too easy for you if there is no challenge.”
“Gini aja, deh.” Mardin suggested, “What if you two fight me here? If I lose, you can kidnap children, take the organs of the inhabitants. And also, you can take all my organs. My organs are healthy, you know. There is no disease at all. Definitely appreciated at a very expensive price even if sold illegally.”
Tama and Gondri exchanged looks. From Mardin's offer alone sounds very tempting. They benefit a lot from this fight. That is if they win.
“But, but, but..” Mardin held up his index finger. “If I win, just get ready your organs I take. It's good to add Uncle's bar business capital. Hehe...”.
Tama looks steady to accept Mardin's offer, but Gondri is reluctant. Because, he had an unpleasant feeling that this one young man was far more dangerous than them, even from any Rogue.
“Tama, wait dul—.”
“OK! I accept your challenge!”
Not hearing Gondri's warning, Tama stepped forward while taking out two daggers from the sheath behind her waist, preparing to fight.
“Don't scream if I mutilate alive,” said Tama pede.
Mardin responded with a smile. Take a fighting position using his futuristic machete.
“By also your mistress, Friend.”
Tama made more emotional. “Ergh! I'm not your best friend, 'fuck!”
Tama twirled his two daggers, taking the position of crossing the two weapons.
“Freedom of Violet Cross!”
A wave of cross-shaped slashes with purple color was blasted towards Mardin. The young man arched his body backwards, dodging the slash attack between his cross slit that was below.
“Agressive times,” says flat Mardin.
When his body stood up again, Mardin realized that Tama was no longer in front of him. Mardin knew very well the pattern of this attack, so he immediately looked back. Justright. Tama's figure was now darting from behind above about to attack him.
Tama slashed Mardin's neck using a dagger. But not Mardin's neck that was slashed, precisely what he slashed was only a hologram image resembling Mardin that had changed and disappeared. Of course it makes Tama stupefied.
Unable to turn his head, the hologram shadow figure behind him began to turn into a real Mardin, preparing to stab his machete from behind.
Not yet had time to hit Tama, Mardin has been kicked by Gondri to bounce far. Surely Mardin did not immediately let the vital part hit a kick. Mardin had protected himself from a Gondri kick using the wrist.
Mardin landed his body well. He slightly wagged his wrist because he felt a little numb due to holding Gondri kick earlier.
“Gondri, what kind of moves does the boy use?” tanya Tama stood beside her partner.
“So I was watching. He summoned a hologram shadow and moved his original body to the hologram's shadow,” was clearly brief Gondri.
“Keep, why didn't you help me?!”
“I just helped you, Stupid! The kid moved too fast!”
“Wo! Whoa! Why be in a fight, nih?”
Mardin's figure took several steps forward followed by a single hologram shadow beside him. He and the shadow had fought a moment, then gave a smile to both enemies.
“Do not, do it. You guys ‘kan temenan,” said Mardin trivial, but his face showed a distinctive smile that is difficult to fade from his beautiful face.
