Chapter 6 - Decide

"Sir!" Danu's assistant Ghuan called out, and it looked like he was in a hurry to approach Danu who had just spit out red liquid from his mouth, "Master." He looked worried about Danu.

As for Rasti, she did not dare to approach Danu, because Danu forbade her from the beginning. Danu forbids it because Rasti's knowledge is still minimal, it will be easy to be affected by the red liquid which is dirt from internal wounds. Unlike Ghuan. Ghuan's knowledge is 2 levels below the level of Danu's knowledge. Ghuan can prevent the effects of the red liquid.

"I'm fine, Ghuan." Danu raised one hand in the air, signaling for Ghuan to calm down so that the Rasti he still saw worried him could calm down. "I was just careless, didn't concentrate while meditating."

Ghuan sighed, 'Master is always like this, even though Master is not well. Master is doing meditation, surely your opponent was not a random person.'

"Ghuan!"

"Who is that person, sir?"

"What do you mean?" Danu turned his gaze to Ghuan.

"The person who hurt you."

JRENG.

Danu gasped in surprise hearing this, then sighed,

"You don't need to make calculations with that person. He was injured more badly than me. If I don't give him medicine, within half an hour of being hit by the final blow of the Thousand Shadow Hands, he will surely die."

Ghuan sighed, knowing very well how powerful Danu's Thousand Hand Shadow skill was. This knowledge, after being revealed to Danu, developed itself, apart from being trained by Danu. Opponents who are exposed to this knowledge, if Danu doesn't give him medicine, in half an hour he can die. Because the affected internal organs will be destroyed, and the other science power system in the opponent will be destroyed. That's the greatness of Danu's knowledge, in contrast to the knowledge of his teacher Raden Kerta Kusumojoyo. Although the basic knowledge is the same.

"Ghuan!" Rasti's voice shouted, "Grandpa why?" she asked Ghuan who was looking at him.

"Grandpa is okay, Rasti!" Danu said first, rather than Ghuan blurting out that he was injured by Ghotam. "Go to the house, please prepare bath water and a change of clothes for grandpa!" He gave Rasti an assignment so that Rasti would not continue to worry about him.

"But grandpa just spat out red liquid, must be a serious internal wound!" Rasti has not received the assignment from Danu.

"Dear!" Danu put on a smile on his face, "Grandpa just didn't concentrate earlier, so it made meditation fail. If it fails, it will spit out red liquid. You already told grandfather about it." He made up a story so that Rasti wouldn't think about why he could spit out the red liquid which Rasti knew for sure because he had serious internal injuries.

"True, true, true!" said Ghuan immediately confirming Danu's explanation, "Non Rasti, there's no need to worry. It's good that Non Rasti does the task from Master Teacher." he chuckled, even though his heart was still worried about Danu. Ghuan calls Danu "Master Teacher" because apart from his master, Danu is his kung fu teacher.

Rasti sighed, she heavily obeyed Danu's orders and left the place.

Danu breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened himself again, until the cross-legged sitting position became correct. Ghuan quickly sat cross-legged facing Danu,

"I'll help you fix your power system that was messed up earlier." Ghuan without Danu asked to be moved to help Danu fix Danu's chaotic power system due to Danu's lack of concentration.

"No Ghuan." Danu refused, "You could get injured. When my power system is messed up, only I can clean it up, or help my father or my teacher's grandfather."

"Master, then what's the use of me by your side?" Ghuan complained, annoyed because Danu always forbade him to help Danu when he was like this.

"Your job," Danu smiled at Ghuan's complaint, "Spread our men to guard this village without making the villagers anxious."

"Is something serious going to happen to our village, Master Teacher?"

"No Ghuan." Danu lied, even though there was one, namely Beatrice. Even though he didn't know Lawrence and the two Lawrence brothers very well, he knew from his father that Beatrice was a curious person and would continue to search until her curiosity was satisfied. His father knew that because Cheng De often clashed with his father because Beatrice told Cheng De to find this and then kill him.

"Then why did you do that?"

"Ghuan, what's wrong if I increase the security of the village for the sake of the peace of the people?"

JLEB.

Ghuan gasped in surprise upon hearing this, swallowing his saliva at Danu's targeted question. Danu is not the village head, but he always maintains the security of the village, for the peace of the villagers. But Ghuan also knows that there is something that Danu is worried about right now, so Danu asks to increase the security of this Karang Dewa village. But Danu didn't want to say it so that Ghuan wouldn't worry.

"Okay Master," Ghuan understood Danu didn't want to be asked why "Anything else you want Master to ask me to do?"

"There's Guan."

"Tell Master."

"Ask Ayada to tidy up the pavilion behind this house. In two days there will be a guest occupying it."

"Guest, Master Teacher?"

"Don't ask who it is, Ghuan. Just do it."

"Yes, Master Teacher."

"Then also place there two maid and some trained bodyguards. The guest is under our protection for the time being."

Ghuan sighed, 'No wonder Master Teacher asks for village security to be increased because there are guests he is protecting.' his village now understands why Danu asked for village security to be increased. He served Danu for a very long time, precisely when Satya, Danu's only son, was 4 years old. He is two years older than Satya, and asked to have a baby Satya.

Danu sighed, knowing that Ghuan already knew the reason behind all his orders. Ghuan is as smart as Satya, and can quickly learn and understand things.

'God,' whispered Danu's heart, 'I hope my decision is not wrong. I always ask for your guidance and protection, especially for my beloved granddaughter Rasti.'

BRUK.

Villena fell on the cell floor after being pushed roughly by two of Beatrice's men, after that the cell door was locked again, then Beatrice's voice was heard.

"Think about it, Villena." Beatrice said to Villena, "There's no way you don't know who the old man who defeated Ghotam was."

Villena didn't answer, only catching her breath which was gasping for air, because she had just been abused by Beatrice, where her whole body was electrocuted by a high flow of electricity. For Villena to say who Danu beat Ghotam. Villena does not know Danu, because Danu has never been seen by her with Lawrence.

Of course, when Lawrence visited the Factory in the area, Lawrence didn't bring Villena or Caroline with him. Lawrence only brought Marlene, because Marlene knew very well how to inspect businesses in the field. Marlene had met Danu, but Beatrice hadn't thought about it. Even then, Beatrice wouldn't dare touch Marlene.

"Kay!" cried Beatrice to one of her men who was the biggest and the strongest, "You stay here so that when Villena remembers who that man is, she can tell you. You can report to me."

"Yes, Mrs. Beatrice."

Then Beatrice left this place accompanied by all her men.

Vilena breathed a sigh of relief.

Brian immediately approached Villena, and the child's tears welled up again. He had seen Beatrice's cruelty to Villena.

"Mom's," Brian called Villena.

Villena weakly lifted her body, and sat in front of Brian, embraced by her son.

"Brian," she called out to Brian, "No matter what happens, you have to live. You must repay all of this to Emanuel and Beatrice. You must seize the De Groot Company and take possession of the entire De Groot family estate."

"Mom?" Brian looked at Villena, Villena's eyes were full of revenge.

"Observe this, Brian!" Villena rubbed Brian's face which was full of fear and confusion, "All for your future. The De Groot Company and the entire De Groot family fortune belong to you, not to Justin, Kak Caroline, and Kak Marlene."

Brian couldn't speak anymore, because he knew Villena didn't want to be denied from the beginning. His tears grew more and more.

Danu was surprised to see Rasti, Aryo, and Rangga helping Ayada, a woman who was entrusted by Danu to be the head of ART at Danu's residence. Even though Danu looks simple, he is a man with a lot of wealth. The wealth was not the result of his work as a sub-district head but from the inheritance of Raden Kerta Kusumojoyo and their teacher.

"Grandpa!" Rasti's cheerful voice was heard because the girl noticed Danu's arrival at the Pavilion. She immediately approached Danu, hugged Danu's waist spoiled, and her face looked up at Danu, "Grandpa is healthy?" she asked because after Danu failed to meditate, Danu just stayed in his room.

"Hey kid," Danu pinched Rasti's sharp nose a little, "Why do you think Grandpa is sick, hmm?" he asked, "Let's see, where is grandpa sick?" displayed a bright smile to Rasti.

"Um!" Rasti pouted, "Grandpa of habit."

"What habit?"

"Lie Rasti."

"Grandpa lied to you what?"

"Rasti knows that grandpa is sick, but grandpa lied that you were not sick. Grandpa always did."

Danu heard this chuckle in amusement and affectionately ruffled the hair on Rasti's head. This little granddaughter is as smart as Satya. His granddaughter's feeling was sharp.

"Grandpa," Aryo rebuked Danu, approached Danu with Rangga, "Grandpa, you don't have to lie to the three of us anymore." He said he also knew Danu had internal injuries. Because when Danu came home that day, Danu seemed to be in pain, then immediately went to the meditation place.

"Hais my grandchildren." Danu smiled amusedly, alternately ruffled the hair on Aryo and Rangga's heads, "You heard it," the three cute boys looked at, "Grandpa is a warrior, so I must be prepared to be injured when facing my opponent."

"That means," said Rasti, surprised to hear this, "Yesterday, Grandpa was in the fight, right?" asked Danu who was lost in his words, "Who dares to hurt Grandpa? Grandpa said to Rasti, let Rasti finish that person!" she looked at Danu angrily, but not angry at Danu, but at the person who hurt Danu.

Ayada saw all this, and sighed, 'Non Rasti duplicate Mr. Satya, will be furious when she finds out that Mr.Danu is injured because of fighting with his opponent. Will repay.' she heard that Rasti's attitude was indeed Satya's character. The truth is also the nature of Danu, Raden Kerta Kusumojoyo, and his teacher Raden Kerta Kusumojoyo.

"Hehehe," laughed Danu ruffling Rasti's slightly blonde hair because Rasti's mother is originally from Germany.

Danu used to send Satya to study in Germany, then after finishing his studies, Satya returned to Karang Dewa Village with Irine, asking for permission to marry Irine.

"Grandpa," Rangga rebuked Danu, "Who was the person who injured Grandpa? Let Rangga find and reply." He took over the situation, so that his two younger siblings, who still lacked kung fu knowledge, were not reckless to repay Danu's wounds to those who hurt Danu. Rangga's knowledge is decent, but it can still be said to be immature.

Why isn't it ripe, Danu hasn't let Rangga go around the world yet. Kung fu can mature if trained by the universe. Rangga's job is to take care of Rasti and Aryo.

"Well," Danu ended this conversation, "Why are you guys here? Should be at school right?" he just realized these three children are at home, not at school.

"I'm skipping today, Grandpa." Rasti admitted to skipping school today, "I want to be close to you who is sick. Then Mas Aryo and Mas Rangga also skipped, we want to be close to Grandpa." she boldly confessed to Danu.

"Hais you can't do that!" Danu became exasperated, "You know that Grandpa is streng about the school, right?" the three children looked at him.

"We know," said Rasti, "We also know that grandpa will punish us if we skip school unless we are sick."

"If you know why are you desperate to skip?"

Rasti then looked at Danu spoiled, "Grandpa, we are worried about Grandpa." Danu was seduced at this time, "Sorry we missed school."

Danu observed Rasti, then also observed Aryo and Rangga. The three cute children looked at him with pitiful eyes like puppies begging for his father.

"I can't help but face the gazes of these three puppies." Danu sighed, unable to bear to punish these three children, "Yes, this time you guys escaped punishment."

The three children looked happy, then hugged Danu cheerfully.

"Thanks, grandpa!"

Ayada smiled at the beautiful sight. Danu felt happy to have three sweet children.

"Oh yes!" Danu let go of the arms of the three sweet children, "Rasti, Aryo, Rangga," called the names of the three children, "Emm, soon there will be guests staying with us. They will occupy this pavilion."

"Who's the guest, Grandpa?" asked Rasti wanting to know who the guest was.

"You'll find out later. Grandfather immediately brought them here."

Caroline saw Justin standing for hours in front of the porch railing of this house. Caroline sighed, knowing Justin was waiting for Danu to come. 'I don't know why Justin likes Danu. Was it because of Danu's attitude like Kak Lawrence?'

Lawrence always cares and takes care of Justin. Is it the same for Brian? Less, because Lawrence doesn't love Villena, even though he was tempted by Villena, so he married Villena.

Lawrence's love for Caroline is very big, that could say Caroline is Lawrence's, true love. How about Marlene, Lawrence just respects, her because their parents arranged an arranged marriage.

"Madam." Markus reprimanded Caroline from the woman's side.

"Hmm!" Caroline sighed, "Justin's hoping for nothing, Markus." she said, "Mr. Danu will not come, because he also has a responsibility for the safety of Rasti, Aryo, Rangga, and all the residents of Karang Dewa Village."

Markus sighed, whether or not Caroline's feelings were true. Markus only knew Danu because Lawrence had met Danu. Markus also only heard about Danu's prowess in the world of kung fu from his informants. And indeed Danu resigned from the world of kung fu after Satya, Irine, and Satya's three children were scorched in Satya's house. Danu chose to raise Rasti in Karang Dewa Village.

If Danu accepts Caroline and Justin, it means Danu is back in the world of kung fu. Sooner or later it was discovered by Danu's allies and enemies. Especially if they know that Danu is protecting Lawrence's wife and children from enemies from Emanuel and Beatrice. Emanuel and Beatrice, including Lawrence, are Billionaires who use kung fu warriors to their advantage.

Meanwhile, in the world of kung fu, only warriors are allowed to defend the truth, help the persecuted, and be neutral in every situation. Danu and his family could never be invited by Billionaires like Lawrence to be aides or bodyguards.

So if it is heard that Danu protects Caroline and Justin, Danu's good name will fall. Does Danu want to lose his good name for Caroline and Justin?

"Markus."

"I can't give a response, second Madam." Markus sighed, "Because Mr. Danu as far as I know, is a true kung fu warrior, doesn't work for certain people. If anyone needs his help, he doesn't hesitate to help, even though he will be seriously injured."

"Was he seriously injured against Ghotam?"

"Certainly yes, Madam. I just got hurt deeply because of Ghotam."

Caroline sighed, "Because of me and Justin, you guys got hurt." her voice is sad. Caroline is gentle and sensitive.

"No, Second Madame," Markus persuaded Caroline not to blame herself. "It's not all your fault."

"Grandpa!" Justin shouted.
