“There are only two things as my priority in life. Taking a very good care of Anth, and paying revenge for Rery and Madelaine, also our brothers death than chasing a woman (There are two things that are a priority in my life. Take good care of Anthony, and avenge the death of Rery, Madelaine and brother – our brother rather than chasing a woman)”
The Son's face looked serious as he spoke just now. And the three brothers who were with him, chose not to discuss any more about women with the Son at this time.
Because all three know very well, if the matter of Anthony, Rery or Madelaine is really a priority in the life of the Son who will not be displaced before he succeeds in eliminating Jaeden.

It was late in the afternoon and Danny had time to stop by the Villa where the lords who were counted as his new family were. Coincidentally tonight Danny will stay at Villa, because he will discuss the plan to buy plantation land owned by some around the Villa with the Lords.
Danny immediately visited the masters who were chatting casually in the living room with Bruna and Anthony who were being accompanied by a puzzle by his adoptive father.
“Good evening everyone (Good afternoon everyone)”
“Hi And!”
Everyone Danny met greeted him back.
“How was Restaurant? (How's Restaurant?)” Ask Son.
“Getting clatter (More crowded)”
“Glad to hear it (Happy to hear it)”
“I wonder why don’t all of you make that Resto become this family asset?”
“(I was thinking why don't you guys make this Resto a family asset?)”
“You mean to acquire the ownership? (You mean acquiring ownership?)”
“Yes Sir” Sahut Danny. “It will one of good move to make your family presence become stronger except famous maybe (It will be one of the good steps of your family existence to become stronger besides
famous later)”
Son and four others mangosteen – mangosteen. “Respectable (May also)” Sahut Putra is endorsed by four others. "To become stronger also bigger, Yes. But famous, No! (To become stronger even bigger, Yes. But famous, No!)"
"....."
"Let people just know name would be okay, not person. Not untill everything already in our hand (Let people only know the name, not the figure. Not until everything is in our hands)" insisted the Son.
Those who were with the Son also nodded in understanding.
“But do you think Budi want to sell his part or that Resto if he knows that the place is getting clatter like you said And? (But do you think Budi would sell his share of ownership in the restaurant if he knew that
it's getting crowded like you said, Dan?”
“No (No)”
“Then? (Then?)”
“Tell me first, are all of you really want to have that Resto as a whole? (Tell me first, are you guys right – really want to have that Restaurant in its entirety?)”
“If that could become our start beside the tea garden business that that also become our path as springboard to
build our kingdom in this country, then why not? (If it could be a start other than the tea plantation business that we are also starting as a stepping stone to build our kingdom in this country, then why not?)”
Danny mangosteen – mangosteen after listening to Addison's translation.
“Do you have any ideas to make it happen, Dan? (Do you have any idea to make it happen, Dan?)”
“The honest or cozen way? (An honest or sneaky way?)”
“The fast one! (The fastest way!)” Said the Son firmly.
“As your wish Boss! (As you wish Boss!)”

“Iya Sir?” Mr. Abdul came to the men who had now moved into the study at night after Putra rang a small bell to call him.
Neither Mr. Abdul, his wife or their son would return to their place which was a separate pavilion with the Villa, before their Master allowed them to return to their pavilion.
Bruna had brought Anthony to her room while her foster fathers were talking seriously about the business in the study. “Come Mr. Abdul” Said the Son who also invited Mr. Abdul to sit down to join him and his brothers including Danny.
“I just stand, Tuan”
“Sit Mr. Abdul. Please don't hesitate. There are a few things we want to ask you” said the Son to the servant he already trusted.
“True Mr. Abdul, sit here. Later too long standing you will ache – pegal”
“It's okay – what Mr. Danny. Thank you in advance. Let me just stand, please Mr. – Tuan ask anything, I will answer with as honestly as – honestly”
“Sit Mr. Abdul. I don't like to be denied” Titah Putra with his usual expression, but his view is quite demanding. And Mr. Abdul obeyed and obeyed what the Son said. He took his place in a chair that he took himself from the corner of the room. Although Putra many – times said it so as not to hesitate, still Mr. Abdul always realized his position.
**
“Pak Abdul's. About the two estates that we will buy, there is a little that stuck for me and my brother –
The son opened the discussion.
“What is Mister?”
Abdul asked politely.
“Why do they quickly approve our offer to sell their plantation?” Ask Son.
“.....”
“Pak Abdul knows why? They didn't even bid at all didn't they, as Mr Abdul told me?”
“Iya correct Mr. Putra”
“What is this plantation land problematic, so they quickly – quickly want to take it off on us? Or land here is losing?”
Abdul also shook his head.
“Not two – both Tuan”
“The land here is very fertile Sir. Our tea plantations alone have been pretty good results so far, right sir?. Even if you want to be sold on a small scale can still get a profit”
“So because what?” Ask the Son again. While the other four are still silent do not comment, because they do not understand Indonesian, except for Danny who already understands, but he does not interrupt if Putra does not ask him.
“They quickly agreed to it, although in fact they were reluctant to give up their plantation. But because the price you offer them is quite high from the market price here, yes they want – just Tuan” replied Mr. Abdul clearly to Putra.
“Only that?”
“There are other reasons as well Tuan”
“What?”
“There is a land broker here who is quite known to be cunning and trying hard to buy plantation land that you want Mr. – Tuan have at a price that is far below your price Mr...”.
“Wait, Mr Abdul said what earlier, ma-..make - what?”
“Master Switch?”
“Yes it!” Putra Sahut. “What does that mean?”
“Tuister” trade intermediaries
“Oh Okay!” Son of mangosteen – mangosteen. “Continue”
“And that person justifies every means to make his wish come true. So the plantation owners in this area have been very reluctant to deal with him, which often threatens in various ways to release their land at the price they want, he said, though he sells at a very high price later”
“Like it ..”
“Iya Sir. He's a mafia land if people here say”
The son chuckled at the word mafia called Pak Abdul.
“Why Mr?”
“Not what – apa”
The son replied after assuaging his chastity.
‘Mafia at Italy are holding guns. Here, holding land? (The mob in Italy holds a gun. Here, take care of the land?’
Son grunts amusedly.
“He was cunning sir, his men were also quite a lot. So the person who is sometimes forced to sell his land chose to run away – obscure from here and live elsewhere to avoid this – male cunning Tuan”
The son of mangosteen – mangosteen, because it feels like he has received enough answers to the awkwardness he feels. And the explanation of Mr. Abdul just felt quite clear for Putra. “Pak Abdul knows the guy?” Ask Son.
“Know not Sir. But I tau”
Son of mangosteen – mangosteen and seem to think. Four others remained silent, with three waiting for Putra to explain back in English what Putra had discussed with Mr. Abdul just now.
“Alright Mr. Abdul. I think I've been quite clear, and my awkwardness has been solved. Mr. Abdul and Mother and Suheil go to rest”, said the Son. “Maybe tomorrow or the day after, I will ask Mr. Abdul to make an appointment with the plantation owners that we will buy the land”
“Good Tuan”
Mr. Abdul immediately stood up from his seat and resigned himself from the presence of the Son, while carrying the former chair he was sitting in to be returned to his place.
Putra then explained what he talked to Pak Abdul to his three brothers who did not understand the Indonesian language and immediately discussed it.
“Then, better we accelerate the process of these tea garden sell – buy agreement (Then, it's good we speed up the transaction process sell – buy this tea plantation)”
“You and Garret accomplany me to meet the garden owners tomorrow or the day after (You and Garret accompany me to meet the plantation owner tomorrow or the day after)”
“Yes Sir” Sahut Danny and Garret also agreed. “If it’s possible, I can bring the owners papers of the gardens to check the originality of the land certificate on the same day (If possible, if possible, I can bring the file – file of the plantation owner to check the authenticity of the certificate from the land on the same day)”
“We will see then (We'll see later then)”
**
Two days later....
“Sorry, excuse me Mr. – Tuan” Mr. Abdul came over and greeted Son, Garret, Addison and Damian who were sitting – sitting in the backyard of Villa.
“Ya Pak Abdul?” Putra Sahut. “What's up?” Ask Son.
“There is a guest, Tuan” Pak Abdul replied politely and Putra spontaneously scrunched his forehead, while slightly tilting his head.
“Tuest?” The son asked again.
“Iya Tuan”
Putra was a little surprised by the guest who was said to be Mr. Abdul because he felt he had not interacted with many people since coming to Indonesia, except with Ilse and Girl as well as some nurses at the Hospital where they work.
There's no way that's coming it's one of them, right?.
“Who?” Ask the Son again.
“Baskoro, Tuan”
“Baskoro?”
“That's Mr. Loh, the land broker I told you about back then. Cunning land broker it”
