“Get retired then ..... (Pension then ) ...”.


“Hahahaha! I already thinking about that (I've thought about it )”


“Good. You can live with us than you have to stay alone at Netherland (Good. You can stay with us instead of you living alone in the Netherlands )”


“You absolutely right ..... I don’t want to become rusty and die with no family around me which I don’t have there ..... (You are absolutely right ..... I don't want to age and die without a family that I don't have there )...”.


“Good if you think like that..... (Good if you think like that) ..... I believe you have some of the competition guys, who you can choose one to replace your place (I believe you have some competent people, I believe you have some competent people, the one you can choose to replace your place ) ...”.


“I already have one..... (I already have a choice )...”.


“That guy, right? (Him, right? )”


“I’m after that I’m far away from worthy to replace Mister Ramone place, Mister Putra ..... (It feels like I'm far from worthy to take the place of Mr. Ramone, Mr. Son )..”.


“My instinct said that you are eligible (My instinct feels you deserve )”


“There is someone who more eligible ... (There are others who are more worthy )...”.


“Him? ..... (Him? ) ....”


“You (You )”


Ramone pinned a ring that had been perched on one of his fingers to one of the fingers of the Son.


“I choose you (I picked you )” Ramone said as she pinned her iconic ring on one of the fingers of the Son.


The son seemed very surprised by Ramone's statement. “Wait, wait ... (Wait, wait ) .. what is this? ... (What is this? ) ...”


“My iconic ring. A leadership and ascendancy symbol of mine in Netherland (My iconic Ring. Symbol of my leadership and power in the Netherlands ) ..”


Ramone answered the Son's question.


The son just grunted amusedly.


“I know that's... (I know it )..” Tukas Putra's.


The son then removed the ring that had been pinned by Ramone to one of his fingers.


“You know I don’t talk about the ring ..... (You know I'm not talking about rings )..”.


“Wear that ring back ...... I’ve been decided... (Put it back .... I've decided )...”.


“No, I can’t accept it ..... (No, I can't take it )..”.


“Yes, you can ( Sure, you can )”


Ramone answered quickly. Son shakes.


“Seriously I can’t (I said seriously, I can't )”


The face of the Son looked serious.


“After what happened in Ravenna, what come my aim is to make Jaeden pay for what he did to Rery, Madelaine, Anth, and even all of brothers that were killed in the same day with Rery and Madelaine. To take back everything that Jaeden were too. Giving back everything that supposed to be Anth ..”


“(After what happened in Ravenna, what I was aiming for was to make Jaeden pay for what Jaeden had done to Rery, Madelaine, Anth, and even our brothers were killed on the same day as Rery and Madelaine. Take back what Jaeden had taken away. Giving everything that should be the right Anth )..”.


The son still looked at Ramone seriously. Then he grabbed Ramone's hand, and was about to pin Ramone's ring back on the ring's owner's finger. But Ramone held the Son's hand.


“Vader ..” Putra Saying. “I needs to concentrate for giving a payback to Jaeden... (I need to concentrate on getting revenge on Jaeden ) ...”


“And that, also come my reason choose you to replace me (And that, which is also the reason I chose you to replace me ) ..” Ramone Sahut.


Ramone holds the shoulder of the Son who rests before him, who was about to re-attach Ramone's ring on one of his godfather's fingers.


“You said you were looking for me right? .... (You said you were looking for me, right? )..”


The son answered Ramone's question with a nod. “But because I want to discuss and ask your advantages about the plan that me and them were set (But because I want to discuss and ask for advice from you about the plan that I have and they stacked )”


The son turned towards Garret, Damian and Addison.


Then looked back seriously at Ramone and smiled ironically.


“I really appreciate this. It is truly an honor if you trust me to replace your place.. But I can’t accept it”


“(I really appreciate it. It's an honor for me if you trust me to take your place. But I can't take it )”


“But you have to (But you have to )”


“Vader ..”


“Raise your hand if you agree with my decision.... (Give up your hands if you agree with my decision ).”


Ramone did not understand the objections of the Son. He cast a gaze upon all those who were near him at this time, including those who came with the Son.


“Seriously?? ... (What's the truth?? ) ..”


The Son's face implies disbelief, as he looks back and discovers that Garret, Damian and Addison, including Danny and Arthur raised their hands.


“We believe that your Godfather has a strong reason about his decision (We believe if your godfather has a strong reason for his decision ) ..”


Damian commented.


“But.. ( But ) ...”


“So it’s been decided (So it's been decided ).”


Berkah's son. “God ..”


“We’re working to build our power, having army. You know what I mean”


“(We are working to build our strength, have an army. You understand what I mean )”


“Smart (Smart )”


Ramone praised Addison who had just spoken.


The son seemed to be thinking. He was reading Addison's speech just now. “Just take it (Just take the opportunity )” Damian said by moving his head slowly, but meaningfully to the Son.


“Now you have no reason to refuse (Now you have no reason to refuse )”


“I need to think about this ... (I have to think about this ) ..”


“No time (No time )” Sambar Ramone.


“He’s right (He was right ) ..”


Garret chiming.


“No time to think. Jaeden is getting closer to his aim in England, remember?....”


“(No time to think. Jaeden is getting closer to his destination in England, remember? ) ..”


“Take my offer then you are freely to meet Accursio (Take my offer and you are free to meet Accursio )”


“Accursio ...”


“I know that Rery never wanted to get too close with him.... (I know Rery never wanted to get too close to him )...”


“.......”


“But trust me, this time you can count on him to help you reach your aim (But trust me, this time you can count on him to help you achieve your goal )..


“.......”


The son was silent, seemingly thinking.


“Means that he close to you.... Why don’t you choose him?.... (That means he's close to you .... Why don't you just choose it? )...”


Then the Son said while looking at Ramone.


“You know? .... I ever talked with Accursio about how if I’m thinking to ‘retired’.. And the first name he directly said, is you.... Right before I tell him that I am thinking about you.... (You know what? I once talked to Accursio about what if I thought to ‘retireun’ .... And the first name he immediately mentioned was your name .... Even before I said if I was thinking about you )..”


“Really? (Oh yeah? )”


“Hu’um..”.


Ramone.


“Trust me or not, but Accursio admire you. And I have a feeling that both of you could be a great team to make you both power stronger by your own portion.... ( Believe it or not, but Accursio admires you. And I have


hunch if you two can be a good team to make you


become stronger in each serving )..”.


The son was silent again. He looked at Garret, Addison and Damian.


“So? ( So? )...”


The son then looked at Ramone after the three brothers he had just looked at gave the same code as their head movements.


“This is your unilateral decision I believe that. Are your men in Netherland could accept it? .... (I believe this is a one-sided decision from you. Can your people in the Netherlands accept your decision? )...” Answer Son.


“You don’t need to worry about it.... (You don't have to worry about that )...” Ramone. “Right Dev? Frans?..”


“Of course ( Of course )”


“We heard so many things about you. And yes, I agree with Mister Ramone decision (We've heard a lot about you. And yes, I agree with Mr. Ramone's decision )”


“So am I (So is also with me )”


Devoss and Frans support Ramone.


“Beside, I get everything that I have now by my own hand. There in Netherland just helping because they also have benefits that I have to them (After all, I get what I have now with my own hands.


Those who are in the Netherlands are only helping because of the benefit I gave them ).” Ramone.


“In other word, they can’t implicitly for every Mister Ramone’s decision and must to accept it no matter they like it or not (In other words, they can't interfere for every decision Mr. Ramone makes and should


accept like or dislike )“


Devoss chimed in on the words of his smiling boss.


The son then squealed amusedly when he saw the smile of the godfather as his man was bearded.


“Nothing to lose, if you replace me, Son ...”


“(No harm, if you replace me, Son )..”.


Now Ramone again looked seriously at the Son while holding his godson's shoulder again.


“But I have stipulations (But I have terms )” Reply Son.


Where Ramone just smiled broadly. “Means you agree to replace me?.... (That means you agreed to take my place? ) ...”


The son raised his index finger while shaking it in front of Ramone. “Not before I told you the stipulations that I have .... And you're not before you say you agree with that.... (Not before I say the terms I have.... And not before you say if you agree to it ) ..”


“You agree, that is first .... (You agree, that's the main one )..”.


Then he took back his ring which was held by the Son, which he then placed again on the finger of his godson.


“Am I Right?! (I'm right, aren't I?! )”


Then Ramone turned his gaze to the others who then replied, agreeing enthusiastically.


“Go get a bottle of the best wine, Dev (Take a bottle of the best wine, Dev )”


Devoss immediately nodded to confirm his Boss' request. Then he called one of the hotel staff in neat uniform and spoke to the staff who then nodded aloud while smiling professionally.


The son snorted amusedly just looking at Ramone while shaking slowly, after Ramone pinned his iconic ring on one of the fingers of the Son.


“Now you listen of the stipulations that I have (Now you listen to the requirements that I have )”


Ramone is a mangosteen.


“First, do not ask me to do those kind things consider you business before I finish my own thing. My main aim (First, don't ask me to take care of everything related to your business before I finish my business. My main destination )”


“Then? ( Then? ) ...”


Ramone asked as he asked.


The waiter who spoke to Devoss soon returned with two other staff members, each carrying a tray in their hands.


With one silver tray where there were two bottles of wine on it, and two more trays containing red wine glasses, a number of the Lords were in the room.


“Second, I’m not living in Netherland (Second, I do not want to stay in the Netherlands )” Connect Putra firmly.


Ramone pulled the corner of his lips then, holding a round glass with a small stalk that he had taken from the tray when one of the hotel staff thrust the tray at Ramone, here is the Son standing by Ramone's side.


The son also took a glass from the tray which was then poured by other staff drinks in the form of wine with a softer taste, which is usually consumed for a toast during the day.


“How is it? (So how? )” Ask Son. And won't turn away from looking at Ramone before he gets his answer.


“Well, you’re the Boss now! (Well, now you're the boss! )”


Ramone smiled meaningfully at the Son.


“Right?! (Didn't it?! )”


Then Ramone cast his eyes on the others.


“Right! ( Right! )”


Compact answers from the perlente men who were with Putra and Ramone were heard.


“Salute!”


Ramone raised his glass to make a toast.


Followed by all who were with him and each had a burgundy glass in their hands.


The last son raised his glass.


“Salutee!...”


An enthusiastic toast then airs with a burgundy glass filled with wine in it that has been lifted into the air.


Then each sipped the wine in their own glass.


The son smiled as Ramone gave a hug between men to him with implied relief in it, besides Ramone did have his own pride in the Son, his favorite godson.


‘Jaeden, we’ll meet soon .... ( Jaeden, we will meet as soon as )..’ Inner Son.
