Hello Brothers: The Prince of Twins
Chapter 143 The shooter

After the silver bullet was successfully removed, the plowing will take place quickly, after the doctor stated that Ima was completely healed then that day Mina immediately took her home.

Together with Chad and Alisya they return home to Mina, while Agler and Colt are notified by phone to welcome home.

Reinner was also told to rush to Mina's house to greet, when the car carrying Ima came out of the house with a very forced smile.

"Hi honey... How do you feel?" asked Colt who immediately approached and hugged his daughter.

"I'm good father... Don't worry too much about me, you know your daughter is very strong right?" suhut Ima who began to be upset with the spoiled treatment of Colt.

"Stop talking nonsense, you're making us all worry" Agler said.

"Oh.. brother.." call Ima immediately give a hug.

"How's it?" ask Mina to Colt.

With his eyes down Colt shook his head, he completely lost track of the shooter so he could not find the shooter.

"What the fuck? is it that hard to find people?" mina asked in annoyance.

The shout made everyone speechless including Ima who knew nothing.

"What's wrong?" ask Ima.

"Ah no, let's go in" said Agler trying to divert but of course it won't work on Ima.

"Tell me what I don't know" Ima said firmly.

None of them dared to speak but none of them dared to oppose Ima, finally they just kept silent with confused faces.

"We're trying to find the perpetrator who shot you" Reinner said, leaving all eyes on him.

"What's? meaning Shigima?"

"No, the one who shot you was his men" Reinner replied again.

That fact made Ima speechless, apparently he mistook.

"Whether Shigima or his men make no difference to me, Shigima remains guilty of this" Mina said.

"Mothers... "

"What?" mina shouted with fire in her heart.

"It's time they all knew what Shigima did to you"

"What does mother mean?" ask Ima.

"You don't have to deny it, I heard for myself that the one who attacked you was Shigima Hermes" Mina replied impassioned.

For a moment, everything seemed to spin until it made Ima almost lose her balance. But then he said slowly.

"We didn't know each other at the time, even before I met Chad. I'm just trying to find blood for my thirst and Shigima is doing her job as a witch, tell us who's wrong between us?"

"Ima." call Mina.

"It's my fault for being born a vampire!" scream Ima.

The bomb exploded so violently, breaking every heart to pieces. One tear drop marks a good sunny day for grieving, freeing up a feeling of fear that has been just a threat.

"If. I am only a human being then this is Shigima's fault, and you have the right to take his life without permission" Ima said in a quieter voice.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault" Colt said withholding increasingly heavy tears.

That apology is the most wrong mistake, silencing every mouth and replacing it with tears.

"What's wrong with being a vampire or a witch?" ask Alisa suddenly.

She wiped her tears and smiled widely, walking over to Ima to wipe her tears as well.

"Monster is not he who fangs or has claws, but he who has no heart to love. Isn't that what you taught me? then why are you talking as if you're sorry about being a vampire? it's better than humans like me, at least you can protect the people you love instead of making them continue to protect you" she said.

"I'm just. I'm sorry" said Ima aware of what she said had hurt everyone.

"Mother.me and Shigima, we just happened to be in one less good position. I beg you to stop blaming others for your worries, many times I fell and got hurt but until now I am still standing in front of you so stop worrying about me" he asked.

"Ima." called Mina who could not hold back tears, immediately in the embrace of her naughty daughter.

Ending the moment they go inside, throw a small party to enjoy the happy time even though it only lasts a while.

A message Reinner received from Tianna led him to invite the twin princes to go to the headquarters, where they began to discuss the message.

"Joyi is still alive" Reinner said, reading the text.

"really? how could Tianna know of this?" ask Chad.

Rei thought for a while before finally answering.

"Tianna managed to gain Clarkson's trust, if we go back to remembering the trail you got then we can assume that the one who kidnapped Joyi was Yulia and took her to their headquarters. The point is that the one holding Joyi back is Yulia and Clarkson, which is why Tianna knows the state of Joyi"

"really? can we trace where their base is and free Grandma?' ask Chad expectantly.

"No! it's too risky, we still need a lot of evidence against Clarkson and get your father back to the throne" Jhon said.

Chad bowed listlessly to hear that, his understanding of the mission having silenced his mouth instantly.

"You don't have to worry, if Tianna is anywhere near Joyi I'm sure he will take care of her" Reinner said.

Chad just smiled, trying to calm his heart that was still in agitation.

Not much else did they discuss about Tianna's message, the meeting just ended.

Chad chooses to go to his rest house, because only there can he clear his head even with the help of wine.

Time that goes by without anything else makes it feel faster, night just comes carrying a cold air that does not apply to him.

Chad was still on the balcony, staring out with an empty bottle beside him. It was then that a black shadow shot right at him, standing behind him but Chad seemed unconcerned.

"Sometimes things don't go the way we want them to" Ballard said.

"That's how life is" Chad said.

"Although so still believe your grandmother will return, that hope even though small is very meaningful"

"I know she's a brave old woman and I'm sure she'll be fine" she said.

Ballard slightly frowned, obviously the current state of Chad's heart is being destroyed but his speech was calmer than yesterday.

"Have something happened again?" tanyakanya.

Hhhhhhhh

The exhale meant yes, openly Chad told me what had happened to Ima and it was very frustrating.

"Tell me how the guy is, I promise I'll find him for you" Ballard said.

Although not sure but Chad still said it, after getting a clear picture Ballard went away.

* * *

It was as if he was mourning following Jack's gloomy heart, and the cold wind shut his laughter in a place where there was only darkness.

He was once in this position, the day that his black coat was muddy as it continued to squat beside Jessa's grave.

It was the first time they had been separated by a heinous betrayal, and now the suit was soaking wet as it continued to sit beside the bed where Jessa used to lie, back separated by a slander.

Unfortunately this time he himself, there was no one to strengthen himself or lend him a shoulder.

This re-opens one thought about Joyi's speech, especially her grandson often comes at gunpoint.

"Is the prophecy true? should you never be part of this family?" he was questioning something he had denied all along.

His swollen eyes looked around where the castle he used to call home still stood firm, unfortunately the laughter he always wanted was only realized temporarily.

In neither his son's generation nor his grandchildren's, there was never any lasting happiness in it.

He begins to think that the Hermes family is really cursed, that everything will never be good until it destroys the source of the curse.

* * *

Although Ima declares herself to be fine but everyone is still worried about her, so does Alisya and Chad who agree to return to visit her home.

Chad came with a bag full of Ima's favorite food, and on that day there was nothing better than getting together.

From day to night the Colt residence was so crowded that it felt cramped, this made the head of the family decided to put up a tent outside while holding a barbeque event.

The more the night the atmosphere gets festive, laughter implies grateful happiness that makes anyone jealous of the family.

"Well, the smell makes my stomach really hungry" said Ima as she stroked her stomach.

"Based on the eater, be patient a little more" said Agler while turning his forehead to mature evenly.

Ima only grinnedly displayed a barrage of neat teeth, while Agler also smiled and continued his work.

"The smell is very tempting, very suitable to celebrate something important" said a voice from the dark forest.

Agler and Chad are simultaneously advancing forward, ready for anything to protect the others.

Srek

The bushes swayed as a figure passed by, further sharpening their sudden senses while the one coming out of the darkness was Ballard.

What surprised them was that Ballard's hand was not empty, he carried a rope tied to someone's hand.

It looks like the man is battered and no longer has the energy to run away, Chad curiously asked.

"What are you doing?"

"Bringing a fugitive like my word of promise" he said.

Hearing that Chad ran up to him, raising the man's head to look at his face.

"He's a Shigima guy" Colt clearly recognized him despite some bruises on his cheek.

"How did you find him?" ask Agler.

"I will put all my strength into keeping my promise to Chad, now this is where you're looking for the perpetrator" he said.

If they found that person yesterday it was certain that person would not survive, with just one blow his soul had already moved to another dimension.

But today, their mood is good especially if Ima is there that can be sure to stop their intentions.

"Why are you silent? this guy hurt Ima and even made her almost die" Ballard asked.

"Who told you to do that?" ask Colt suddenly.

Ballard stared in surprise, but he let Colt come closer and interrogated the man.

"Tell me" he said.

"Master.... Shigima.. whoever... who is hurt.. doesn't matter." said the man with the rest of his powers.

"You hear? the family wants to hurt you, he doesn't even hesitate to kill anyone close to you" Ballard told Chad.

"I'll confirm this with Shigima" Colt said.

"It's just that, when you get there this guy will ask for Shigima's protection by saying that you planned all this. This is not our first time"

"What do you mean?" ask Colt for wonder.

"Before this happened there were already a lot of witches attacking Chad and me, when I managed to subdue him and bring him to Jack he was slandering me" he replied.

It was a truth that Chad could not deny, so he could only remain silent.

"From taking him it's better to punish him here"

"That's right" Mina agreed.

"Mother." call Ima in shock.

"What do we ever discuss? shigima's problems we can take care of later but the person who hurt my daughter should not be forgiven" he said.

"Mother! how could you handle that?" tanya Ima could hardly believe what Mina said.

Ballard smiled satisfied, his efforts paid off already even though Chad or Agler had not decided anything.

"Do it son, he deserves the right punishment" Ballard said.

But Chad was silent, in his heart a great war was going on. Of course he wants to punish the person who hurt his lover but if he does then he has disappointed Ima, and he does not want to disappoint his love.

"This is not the first time I face death, even when in a crucial moment I always managed to survive so all this nonsense is not necessary" said Ima.

"It has nothing to do with the perpetrator, if you survive then luck is on your side but not necessarily it will happen again if he is released" Ballard replied.

"Sorry sir, but the blood that is returned with blood will not produce a beautiful flower. I am a victim of this event and you have no right to give a decision that I do not agree with" Ima said again without any hesitation in his eyes.

"Too good is not a good attitude, you will experience the same suffering over and over again and are you not indifferent to those who love you? they also suffer if you get hurt"

"In fact, luck has always been on my side, no matter how much injury I receive in the end I live" said Ima.

One thing that makes the fire in Ballard lit is both the gaze and speech of Ima very firmly, he realized he would not win against Ima so he made a decision.

Sretti...

Uh..

Aaaaaa....

Alisya's cry was firmer than that of the finally peaceful soul, her eyes closed helplessly seeing fresh blood flow from the huge torn wound.

While others could not close their eyes, it happened so quickly and immeasurably.

"What.... are you doing?. "ask Ima slowly.

"Give him the right punishment, let me bear his nightmares" Ballard said, without caring for his bloodied hands.
