During that month Elisio often observed Ryou from a distance, he felt Ryou's personality suited his sister. Friendly, art-loving, kind and affectionate towards children, and not a man who likes to have relationships with many women.
As far as Elisio knows from his intel team, Ryou only has one lover and has long since broken up. He has never been in a relationship again until now and keeps herself busy with him artistic activities.
Elisio also often stalks Ryou through his intelligence team. From the recording camera connected to live broadcasts such as video calls, it is seen that Ryou's activity is good and likes helping people every day. Elisio also knows that Ryou has a sister who is 27 years old. They only live together, because their parents have died a long time ago. So they lived independently together for years.
And recently Elisio received news from his messengers that Ryou was in a squeeze, because his younger sister had an accident. Which required his sister to undergo surgery and internal organ transplants. Nominal that must be paid is not small, the money that Ryou got so far will definitely not be enough to pay for the hospital fees. And that's when Elisio made a deal with Ryou.
On the same day that his younger brother Ryou had an accident, Elisio contacted Ryou and asked where he was now. Just a small talk, even though he already knows where and what Ryou is doing now from his subordinates.
"Good afternoon Ryou, how are you now?" asked Elisio. He contacted Ryou via his smartphone.
"I was at hospital, Mr. Vermigoun's. What's wrong, sir?" Ryou asked, even though now he was in a state of panic and dizzy thinking about his sister. But he still tries to be as friendly and calm as possible to answer phone calls from other people including calls from Elisio.
"What? The hospital? Who is it?" Elisio asked pretending not to know.
"My sister sir, he just had an accident," Ryou replied from across there.
"All right, where is the hospital where your sister is being treated?" asked Elisio.
"Belleveu Hospital Center, w-why do you ask ten ---"
Before Ryou had time to finish his words, Elisio had already cut off the phone call. Surely he was already not far from the location of the hospital, with a folder containing a letter that had to be signed by Ryou of course.
Arriving at the hospital, Elisio immediately met Ryou who was in the waiting room. There he looked very upset and repeatedly made calls on his cellphone. It seemed that he was calling people he knew for help. of course financial help for the cost of his sister's hospital. Elisio smiled, he came at the right time.
"Ryou," called Elisio.
"Mr. Vermigoun? You ... you came here? What's wrong sir?" Ryou replied, he looked messy.
"I am very worried about your sister conditionthat's why I came here. How is he now? "Asked Elisio.
"She is still in the operating room, soon the doctors will operate on her. But ... just now I just took care of the administration and found that the operating costs were very expensiveamounting to 180 thousand dollars, "said Ryou without looking at Elisio." I already have funds of 60 thousand dollars. But where else should I find additional funds to pay off all the hospital costs? "
"It's beside you by signing the letter that I brought with me," said Elisio, handing him a shiny blue folder filled with letter sheets.
"What's this letter?" Ryou asked in surprise.
"Just read, if you want your sister to be operated on immediately. You better sign the letter in that folder but please read it first so you understand this letter, "said Elisio, handing him the folder in his hand.
Ryou then slowly accepted the map with a little hesitation. He then opened the folder and read the words written there.
"I hope you have understood the contents of this agreement letter." Elisio glanced at Ryou for a moment then sighed softly.
Ryou was silent for a moment. His younger sister is in a serious condition, to get tens of thousands of dollars in just a few minutes is definitely not possible, especially for someone like him. There is no way but to agree to this agreement and sign the letter given by Elisio.
"Well, I understand the contents of this letter. And I .... Agree," said Ryou.
Elisio smiled, "All right, please sign here and here," said Elisio, pointing to several parts of the letter that Ryou had to sign.
Such was the short path from Ryou's meeting with Elisio which ended in an agreement between the two of them concerning Alyosha.
Flashback Off
"It's not unusual to have it here. Why not in your gallery? Don't you have a place like that?" asked Alyosha.
"So it's not too far from here. It's winter, sis, and it feels like traveling too far makes me lazy. After chasing you this far for months," Elisio sneered.
"Hee?" Alyosha raised an eyebrow. "Until you are like that until you chase after me for months just to vacation together? Hahaha."
"Yes, because it is very difficult for you to stay in one place. Can you stay in one city for a whole month?" asked Elisio. Now he didn't ask it in an annoyed tone.
"Are you clueless or pretending to forget that I have to hunt down my opium cartel? My ecstasy? Hundreds of boxes of weapons to send to Miami and Russia?" Alyosha flinched at Elision. Her younger brother looked down, not out of fear but he respected his sister.
"Okay, I understand. And now stop the emotion. Let's just enjoy viewing the art here. I've prepared it for you." Elisio then looked at the artwork on display there.
There were other visitors besides the two of them who seemed enthusiastic about the works there. But after a while, Elisio glared as he realized what he had just said. He looked at Alyosha who was already smiling crookedly and looked at him with a mocking look.
"So you were on purpose?"
"This is purely for refreshing activities, I think you are always traveling everywhere and lack of time to enjoy the masterpieces of the artistsand you should be thankful that I gave you the opportunity to enjoy the view of today's artwork," said Elisio trying to cover up his original meaning. Of course he didn't want Alyosha to know the real intention behind today's art show.
Alyosha looked carefully at the expression on his brother face. Trying to find the truth there, he doesn't like to be lied to, especially by his only brother. But Elisio was too shrewd, his face was so calm and made Alyosha unsuspecting. To him, Elisio's calm face and regular breathing were proof that it was honesty.
Alyosha then turned her gaze forward again.
