Chapter 8 - 8. Need Refreshing

Arriving at the headquarters, Khalid poured out all his annoyance by punching a wooden table until it shattered. He was disappointed with the performance of his men. He didn't make a sound at all. After he smashed the wooden table in the living room, he hurriedly stepped into his room. He immediately lay down and tried to close his eyes but the shadow of his failure was still able to delay his desire.

He immediately got up and stepped into the bathroom and tried to splash himself under the shower. His mind was frantic. He ruffled his hair, realizing the biggest mistake he had ever made. always impose his own will without considering the feelings of others.

Khalid realized that his life had no meaning at all. He always wants to win himself and doesn't want others to exceed his qualities. Something he is very proud of is when he can outperform his rivals in achieving something. Khalid shook his head. He remembers everything. Remembering Amira and several women who had died because of his selfishness.

"Am I the cause of the death of Mutia and my other exes? Why did they die tragically when they were next to me? Under the name Khalid Shah? Even when they weren't with my big name, they were safe without any problems."

Khalid analyzes that all events are not coincidences and pure accidents. He was sure someone was sabotaging his life but he never thought about it. Realizing his mistake, Khalid finally finished his bathing activities. He quickly put on a towel and wrapped it around his waist and walked out into the changing room.

Khalid stepped out of the room after his neat appearance. He walked to the kitchen and took some fruit from the fridge. After washing and cutting, he returned to his room. He turned on the television and saw the national news that was broadcasting the excitement that was happening around the Yogyakarta area.

He was still busy changing channels when suddenly Andi came and approached him with a very disheveled face. He looked at his friend and assistant. Without waiting for orders to sit down, Andi landed his ass on the sofa in front of Khalid.

"I apologize for my second failure."

Khalid nodded. he knows there is a very deep regret to see his men for the failures he has done. He tried to neutralize the atmosphere by thrusting pieces of fruit in front of Andi making Andi stunned.

"You're not mad at me?"

Khalid shook his head. He wanted to laugh at Andi's reaction when he handed him the fruit he was eating. The reaction he didn't want.

"At first I was angry and wanted to slit your throat. But considering your service, I became impatient."

Andy looked down. Khalid's words made him even more alert. He knew he was buying time and would give him a new task that might be more difficult for him. He took a deep breath, letting go of the frustration he had been feeling for a long time.

"Is there a new assignment for me?"

Once again Khalid shook his head. he still didn't want to cause trouble after his heart was calm. he wanted to rest and refresh but he didn't know what to do. His monotonous life has never given him any choice.

"I want to refresh"

Andi is stunned. His mouth gaped wide. He was too shocked by the spontaneous change that happened to Khalid.

"Is there a big problem that makes you want to refresh?"

"Not"

"Okay, how about we go for a swim?"

"Not"

"Hunt?"

Khalid looked at Andi who offered to hunt. He was interested but he was not sure that in Yogyakarta there was a safe place for him to hunt. What he knows is that all forest areas are protected by the government and anyone is prohibited from hunting animals in the forest.

"Are you sick?"

"Of course I'm healthy, sir. I offered to hunt because I already knew the safest place to hunt game."

"No Andi, please don't disturb the animals. I don't want to. They are protected by the government and we must support them so they don't become extinct. I just need to meet Amira and know her true identity. She has made me hate her to death."

Andi is stunned to hear the fact that Khalid sent himself to chase Amira not out of love but out of hatred. He didn't understand at all what his master was thinking. he sighed, then rubbed his head. A few minutes later, Andi put his head on the table making Khalid curious. Khalid watched Andi. His hand, which was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was bruised as if he had just been punched. He frowned and tried to analyze how much of a fight Andi just had when he left yesterday.

"Have you treated your wound?"

Andi raised his head and looked at Khalid then shook his head. he has absolutely no interest in treating his bruises. Usually bruising will last a long time and require no medication at all. He wanted to focus on finding Amira, the girl Khalid was curious about because he was sure Khalid loved her.

"No need for medicine, sir. I'm sure you'll get better soon."

"Ok, if that's the case. now tell me who helped you?"

"Orange Rose"

"Orange Rose? Is she a woman?"

"Yes, sir. She's amazing. She can spin up to three meters high and disappear in a very fast time."

"Can you see her face? Where did he go and where did she come from?"

Andy shook his head. He regretted the stupidity he had done. He was never aware of the presence of a person named Orange Rose. He didn't even know where he was going. He only focused on the pain he felt. The rest, he is careless.

"Then how do you hold me accountable for your failure to catch up to Amira?"

"I don't know, Master. When I chased Amira, I was excited as if I was going to take her to Master and make her his favorite woman. If I had known you would hate her, I would have mobilized my men to surround her."

"You stop your search for Amira. Now I'm focused on the Orange Rose. If you can meet me with her, I make sure I will forgive you for the failure you have done."

"Master, I-I'm scared right now."

Khalid looked at Andi's face which had turned pale when he asked to go after Orange Rose. This makes Khalid even more curious as to why Andi prefers to pursue Amira instead of chasing Orange Rose.

"I will kill you if you refuse my request."

"Not refusing, sir. You just haven't met a woman named Orange Rose. If you had met her, I'm sure you would have chosen to forget her."

"Is he as scary as you say? His face is ugly and you're scared?"

"Not"

"Then? What scares you? She's just an ordinary girl like any other girl, what's different is that she's good at martial arts and you are the same way. If you want to use your martial arts a little bit, I'm sure you can beat her."

"I'm weak, Master. I'm absolutely no match for her."

Khalid took a deep breath. he hates rejection. Whatever he wanted, he wanted someone else to grant it. No matter what he wants.

"Then how about the task of chasing Amira? Should I still do it?'
