Chapter 132

Omer was the first to speak to after:

\-“You sure have the balls to admit such foolishness your filthy salvage; I have made worst to your kind but letting you live is one of them!”

\-“How dare you make fun of us? You said it yourself that Ricardo was the one to make you all that!” Kane added equally furious.

Mehmet was even stressed because after this ended, they will be the laughingstock, he saw the disappointment in his father’s eyes and then he saw Ricardo’s posture never changing from the beginning of this meeting until now. He was composed like nothing that happened around him, making his composure worth showing any emotion. And for that he hated him more.

\-“So what is going to be? Did Ricardo or Omer organized the supposed attempt on that night?” The elder who was responsible for the economics in their country, a supporter of Ricardo, spoke.

\-“First Ricardo and now Omer. Is this a circus to your salvage? Does it look to you that we are playing here?” another elder spoke, eager to go to the bottom of this unsettling show.

\-“Omer kidnapped me, near my village. He was the first to contract me to possibly attack one of the women in that gathering, but at the last minute. I did not make it and since that day I have regretted doing business with Omer. He is evil, tortured and made me suffer.” She admitted in a sad tone.

\-“I am pretty sure you deserved.” One of the radical elders, that despised the southern said in a venomous tone.

\-“Indeed!” Hakan said joining him also.

Leyla’s eyes watered hearing him, but she did not make a sound.

\-“Let us end her life here, I show her what making fun with us really looks.” Omer said while the man was still holding him.

\-“Release me!” He screamed at them. “This is an offence. Who do you think you are for even daring to touch me!” He was screaming like a mad man now.

\-“Well, it looks like the topic is solved. So far Ricardo has not punished those who he punished in vain, those who oversaw the official security had received what they deserved after all. This woman admitted it and Ricardo is free of charge that Omer raised.”

\-“Looks like the tables had changed now!” another elder added smirking enjoying the fun.

\-“Yes, but this does not change the fact that he has an affair with a foreign woman, right before he marries my daughter. Mister Hamiz, I need a date to set up in order this scandalous news don’t go around for long.” Hakan intervened again, eager to set his daughter marriage date.

\-“Heh… eager to secure your place in the council I see Hakan, but don’t forget that until I say so, no one can speak for you.” No one dared to speak after Ricardo.

– “Your youngest daughter is going to marry my little cousin over there, so I really don’t see why you are so eager to accelerate the things so fast.”  Even Hamiz left his nephew to speak without interrupting him.

\-“Or is it that you want to be in winner’s side?”

\-“You are just a worm that even I can step on you with the order of the boss, who are you to question his action and ask an explanation?” Ali intervened ready with his hand on his mill, where his knife was safely tucked inside.

Hakan’s throat went dry. He did not dare to utter another sound.

\-“No, we don’t mind small issues…” Ricardo said eyeing Hakan, showing no inters in his tantrums. His real focus was somewhere else, where his uncle and cousins were standing.

\-“So, you come here, bring us together to put up a circus not even worth my attention, but still… I thought uncle would have done a better job raising you both.” It was a great offense that none of the three took it well.

\-“Leave my father out of this, you ….you ….” Omer wanted to insult him back, but chills crept back, if he did so the rules were clear. Anyone who offended the leader without proof would be beheaded in the instance without anyone questioning it.

Everyone in there straighten their posture as Ricardo rose from his chair gracefully. Now the show was about to end, and the lion was on full display now, ready to hunt the prey and give an ending to the hunt.

\-“Funny how Omer here talks about my life, as if who already is married and yet visit the brothels regulary, and let’s face it gentleman no one between us in here gives a fuck whatever you do in your private and familiar environment. What did piss me off are those who gave a warm shoulder Omer to continue the dare to insult me.”

\-“Ali!” He called and Ali was right in his side bowing his head respectfully.

\-“I want that you cut their profits from the illegitimate business for the three full moons.”

\-“But…” some of them were ready to protest about it, but his grandfather reminded them in a commanding voice.

\-“He can do that no one disobeys!”

\-“Since you thought I needed a foreigner help to cut out your share let it be heard tonight that I can do that whenever I see it fit! Those who are opposed are going to be given to the hyenas in the desserts and their wealth is going to be divided to the loyal reminded only.” Ricardo threatens to imply authority and remind them why he was the real leader.

The King was about to deliver the last blow now:

\-“And about my precious cousins…. they are to be stripped out of any other profits from today up to one year. The only allowed expense will be Kane’s wedding. This will help you refresh your mind and try to express gratitude that since we are blood related this is my last warning. If there will ever be a next time, I will personally make sure both of your wives to be widows.”

That struct a nerve to both and made Omer mad, he struggled free from the man that were handling him. He runs past them, takes one of the swords over the fire chimney that was an antic used as artifacts from old times and went to Ricardo.

Ricardo dogged him perfectly and went to take effortlessly the other one to use it to fight Omer. It looked like a fight between a king and a mad dog. Ricardo took him down many times and Omer refused to step down until his grandfather roared:

\-“Omer stop this nonsense now!” but he did not listen.

So Ricardo decided to end the show, disarming his sword and kicking Omer down.

\-“Admit defeat! You will never win!” And after it he punched Omer hard, leaving him unconscious. He was really aching to do that since he displayed his photos and Catalina’s earlier and now fate gave him the chance to do right.
