[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Chapter 16: “Satan Judge.”
[VEGAS.]
“Hello. I'm Mister Korawit Teerapanyakul, here as... President of Karin Transport International Co., Ltd.” As soon as I finished my sentence, the murmurs were so loud that I couldn't hear the words. I glanced at Uncle Korn who was adrift at the situation in front of him looking at the group of people alternately with me, before stopping to stare at me with eyes that were hard to read... then frowned, his eyes looked calmer, and said in a calm voice.
“I think...”
“And this is Khun-Pete Pongsakorn Saengtham, he is the Director, and my brother, Krin-Teerapanyakul, Co-Director. As for Board Members...” I looked at everyone in the quiet room, “I'll consider them once we start business again.” Before my eyes, I looked around and stopped at Uncle again.
“Vegas must have misunderstood something... Because the Second Family's authority has ended since your Dad's death and you've signed everything over to the Main Family already.” Uncle reached out to the bodyguards behind him and brought out the documents to confirm.
Another voice in the conference room sounded again...
“I indeed signed everything to the Main Family...” I saw Lawyer Zhou preparing the documents.
“But under the name of Karin Transport International Co., Ltd., the company which owns and operates the port is registered in my mother's name which is Madam Nalin Keeratipongkorn...” I said everything very clearly.
“When Nalin Keeratipongkorn passed away, the port inheritance of Karin Transport, International, Co., Ltd. Fell direct to her heir, not Khun Kan assets, one such as Mr...Korawit-Teerapanyakul.” Lawyer Zhou brought up the registration documents. In front of him, which caused Uncle to smile.
“Yes... about this, I knew a long time ago... Haha but you don't forget Vegas. Under the contract of handover, every piece of your possesion must be under the control of the Main Family.” Khun-Korn puts on a relaxed expression and acts as though he has the upper hand.
“Yes... but if there is a signing from the list of more than ten old board members Khun-Korawit-Teerapanyakul will be able to continue to hold the position of a successor. Legally, under any contract, this is what is considered... rightfully so.” My trump card was placed in front of Uncle Korn, who was now smiling as though he could turn on and off a switch. I know how angry he is right now. I knew he was losing his temper, but he had to remain silent as a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him.
“As Interpol... I hereby confirm that with all documents, and all evidence, this company must belong to the heair of Madam Nalin, that is Khun-Korawit.” “Vegas... You betrayed my Dad!!” Second Brother slapped the table loudly and was about to charge toward me, but Teekhun and the other bodyguards quickly grabbed him.
“Calm down Kinn.” Teekhun looked at me with blasphemous eyes before pulling his brother to calm down and walking straight towards me, “Vegas... There's no need for this tug-o-war to break out in the middle of a meeting and let our family become a feast for crows like this. You know that there are outsiders here who both have good intentions, and who have bad intentions for us. If anything is the matter, why not negotiate directly with my Dad at home.” Teekhun lowered his voice, tried to contain his anger, and looked at the surrounding people cautiously. This was the first time I saw Big Brother Main Family so conscious, and tactful.
“Okay since it has come this far, I must have misunderstood, let's just say...” Uncle Korn closed his eyes still before he took a breath and opened his eyes and spoke with a kind face and smile. “I congratulate the new president of Karin Transport, International Co., Ltd., and the Main Family is ready to support, and be a full adviser... We wish the business to prosper.” Uncle Korn got up from his chair and extended his hand in congratulations. I looked at the hand for a moment and then moved my gaze to Uncle's face before giving a victorious smile.
“Thank you, Uncle... I hope that in the future we may have a good partnership with each other.”
“You already know how to play games, dear nephew... You've got a lot better... This is better because the game will get more fun.” Only I could hear Uncle's words, the look with which he looked at me for a single glance was like a carnivorous one. He turned to everyone in the auditorium with a mainstay of applause.
“Thank you very much... Since everyone has arrived, by the way, our company would like to have a party to celebrate the auspicious occasion. Let's go enjoy the party, and have a little food downstairs.” I said to Everyone applauded me and bowed their heads to show their humility to everyone.
“Leaving!” Second Brother’s voice rang out as he led the bodyguards out of the room.
“Have fun to the fullest, please.” The people from the Main Family began to leave, I turned to look at my silent lover and hoped that he would be troubled by what had happened a bit but...
“Dad Ve has a lot of ships for you, Venice. Are you happy?” Pete spoke to Venice with a cheerful face and didn't even look at the Main Family, especially Teekhun...
Pete has changed a lot, he went from someone who cares about everyone to someone who only cares about the happiness of the people who matter in his life and doesn't seem to care much about the world. I noticed that when Khun-Korn was whispering to me, Pete had a disgruntled expression on his face, and his hands crossed behind his back as if ready to protect me at all times...
Pete wasn't ungrateful or heartless, but he followed his heart honestly, and only became more attached to his own happiness.
“You can invite everyone out to the bottom to celebrate.” Both Nopp, and Ray forcibly descended to the bottom, Despite so many eyes staring at me as if trying to introduce themselves, and collaborate, they were preemptively excluded.
“Only Khun-Vegas signed the inheritance here, Khun-Pete signed here. KhunMacau you sign this and let Kevin be the witness here.” Lawyer Zhou unfolded the documents for us to complete, and read the details for us to understand very well.
“All finished. Kevin and I will wait downstairs. Any doubts, call me.” They both bowed their heads and walked out of the room, and suddenly...
“Hia!!! I'm shocked!!! I thought we were just coming to the event to cheer for you, I didn't even know that before... me? ...Am I the director, Hia?” Macau was shocked, he was amazed at what was in front of me rubbing me like a child getting a new toy. Even when I was against the wall, he put his face to his face and muttered to his mother, “Mom's port is awesome.”
“Yes sir, by now he must be the youngest ever director in office.” Pete teased Macau who was still looking at everything with sparkling eyes.
“Yaaay...ship...” Venice pointed to the outside of the glass which it's right next to the riverside and there are loads of merchant ships.
“You can choose which ship you want, Dad will give it to you.” I pat Venice's head sitting on the table with affection.
“Kiss-kiss Dad, kiss-kiss.” Pete urged Venice to do something that stunned me.
“Kiss!” Venice leaned in and gave me a light kiss on the lips and gave me a cheeky smile, before I turned to Pete in embarrassment, ugh! Crazy child! I couldn't stop smiling. After today life will be extremely happy. I looked at everyone from the head of the table at a wide angle, Macau kept mischievously walking here and there. Excited, Pete took Venice to look at the ships through the glass window.
Dad, Aunt Pim, me and my lover will take good care of Venice, don't worry. Dad, now Macau is very happy, Pete whispered to me that he is gradually getting better and is taking his medicine on time without stubbornness. As for me, I will heal my heart, and save my Dad and Mother Lin’s love. for as long as possible to protect every life that is faithful to us will be happy, will smile more, will make one day the scars in my heart fade away from the past, and live in the present with my happy family.
“Hia! Do we have to cut the ribbon?” Macau turned around and asked.
“What the hell are you doing? If cut, will the ship be able to sail?” I said while taking up the papers of the years to check, I'll have to find some free time to take care of all these things, and then officially start this business.
“Really, why cut it? Then I can go look around, shall I take a selfie to show you I'm the director.” Macau proudly straightened his chest. I nodded, my face was like, this bastard is crazy like he knows what position he has to do, I can prepare myself to have a headache from this minute onwards, “Ray!!! Ray!!! Let's go for a walk.” Macau's voice was so loud that I had to sigh.
“Very good, Macau must be very happy.” Pete carried Venice and walked close to me.
“How can you have a happy family as you want? But it's a bit messy.” I held out my face to Pete, and he bent down and kissed me softly on the lips.
“Thank you...” Pete gave a big smile.
“I need to thank you more... Thank you very much Pete...thank you for everything.” I got up from the chair about to hug my lover lovingly but...
“Ah...” Venice pushed me to not get close to Pete with a silly face.
“Oh! Venice, we're still friends just now.” I got my loose feet and looked at Venice with fierce eyes but didn't take it too seriously.
“Dad...” When this kid saw me scolding, he began to wink and tear up in his eyes, demanding all the pity points from my wife and...child.
“Vegas, can you not tease Venice?
Oh! Oh. I have! not! done! anything! yet!!! You made Pete scold me again. Venice, you can't be friendly to me for a few minutes and pose as an enemy to me like this, it's like someone who has an evil spirit out of you, huh!!!
“Yes! Let him have what he wants. Someday he'll make someone sad.” I said chasing after Pete who had led the frantic Venice out of the meeting room.
“He is my child! I can take care of him myself!” Pete shouted back! What? Damn!!! It's crazy. Even though my family is causing a lot of headaches, they love each other well but fight each other to death, but I guarantee that we won't leave each other for sure. I was walking out of the conference room to go downstairs to follow my lover, But then my footsteps came to a halt when, in a corner of the company's interior, a clear voice of a person, a person familiar to me, sounded.
“Ray, did you bring it?” What is Macau secretly doing? Sneaky around the corner.
“Yes...” I walked closer to say hello, but I had to stop and hide when I saw Ray pull out a brand name box. Macau hurriedly opened it and looked inside. “Actually, I intended to give it to Hia because he became a director. But today he became the owner of the company. Is the gift still good? Ray.” I peeked behind the stairs and had to secretly smile.
“Oh...I think Khun-Vegas must be very proud. Khun-Macau, you've been saving your own money, tutoring high school students for several months, isn't it?”
“Yes...but I'm afraid it's good enough for Hia or not.”
“I think Khun-Macau intends to give it to Khun-Vegas, he will be very happy.”
After school at university, Macau often comes home late. According to Pete's report, I said he was doing activities at the Faculty, but was he really doing a parttime job? Someone like Macau... Again, I looked at Macau in disbelief and let out a soft sigh.
You are a troublemaker! I walked down with a smile to the ground floor where the rest of the guests are still chatting. When everyone saw me, they tried to approach me, probably because of the founding of the board members, and all new board members, but they were all blocked by Nopp and Master's subordinates. Now that Nopp has adopted Venice, Venice gleams with a spectacular short-layered cake. I like Venice. It's interesting to see that the Main Family is doing a ton of stuff, but it's a good day for Venice. Now he is almost burying his face in the cake in a frenzy, he looks exactly like his mother when he sees the food, meanwhile, my eyes wander around until I found the back that I was looking for, he was standing tall in the wind at the edge of the river!
...
“Are you happy...?” I embraced Pete from behind and leaned over to kiss his cheek without fear of anyone's eyes.
“How about you, are you happy?” Pete gently caressed my arm, his gaze stretching to the windy river.
“Mother and Pa's last treasure, we saved it...” I let out a relieved sigh as I stared ahead.
“Your Dad and Mom are very proud of you and Macau, you know.”
“Um...because I chose a good daughter-in-law...Oh!” Pete pinched my arm.
“What are you talking about... but Khun-Kan and Madam Lin probably don't care, you say?” Pete turned and gave me a big smile.
“Yes... Everything seems to be fine, let's go visit Mom and Dad.” I persuade Pete before leaning over and touching his lips lightly...
I'm so happy, so happy that I want to pause this time, and most importantly I want Dad and Mom to be here with us. The day my little brother, Pete, and another Dad' son, Venice are together, laughing, smiling, celebrating, celebrating together. Not because we can beat the Main Family, but because we have a good family. I want all the people I love to remember the happy times, being together like this for a long time. For the first time, I truly felt my own family. I was able to create my own happy family. Dad... Thank you very much Dad for raising me until today.
Thank you mom for loving me all the time.
Thank you for being alive. Thank you, Pete, and Thank you to whoever Mother Lin’s sent Pete to me.
Thank you for making us meet, from now on I won't let him go anywhere. I will keep him in my heart forever...
“I love you, Pete...” I pulled away from Pete and told him with a smile.
“I'm...”
thump thump!!! Pete widened his eyes and looked behind my face, he looked
like he was in such shock that I quickly turned to look.
“[Screaming]!!!!!!!!!!” A scream rang out throughout the building.
When the sight I saw now nearly knocked me unconscious, my heart pounding like it was going to explode, I was helpless in my white brain. Everything happened so fast as if it wasn't real, I stood still like a staff member who resisted my body to rush straight into the scene in front of me.
“...”
“Macau!!!!!! Macau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “Macau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
My brother fell from the rooftop and his body was just a few steps away from me and Pete. I was completely unaware of what I was doing right now, so many sensations flooded me that I couldn't catch myself. A large number of people were blocking me and Pete calling for Macau not to allow us to reach my brother.
That...that, that's my brother, let me go!!! I didn't feel any pain, I didn't feel anything from the force being pulled out of that aura, the sight I saw was like a nightmare. Macau lay motionless with his limbs disfigured, blood slowly flowing, and the ground around him until I almost screamed.
“Macau...Macau!!!!!” I don't know when my tears flowed, and the voice calling to my brother was as loud as dying.
No, Macau... No... My whole world collapsed on me, the feeling of suffocation, like everything in my body, was failing. For a moment because I can't control anything, no...not really... no.
Not real!!!!!!! Macau!!!!!!!! I'm begging!!!!! I will make a plea, or a request from anyone, don't leave me like this, no! no! not real!!!
“Macau...not...not true!!!!!!!!!” I repeatedly got nervous and slumped to my knees, but I tried to hold myself up to look at my brother up close. But everyone was flustered and held me until I didn't realize it at all.
Macau...Hia, please.
- [Rewind] -
“Hia, are you hurt? I will blow for you.” On the day that I had an argument with my father, an immature five-year-old boy came and blew on my face, and cast a healing spell on me, “Omg~ Be healed.” The little boy clapped his hands glad to see me smile and rub his head affectionately.
“Thank you, I am healed already.”
...
“Hia, you are the person I love most in the world. If I don't have you, Hia, how am I going to live?” The chattering voice of a precocious elementary school boy finds words so that a brother like me can find what he wants.
“You're always like this when you want a toy.” I talked to my brother and took out the money from my pocket without hesitation.
“If I'm bored, I can share with Hia...” “Don't buy something too expensive!”
...
On the day when I was sick... While still in high school.
“Hia, you're hot. I wiped you off, and boiled the porridge for you.”
“Oh! Where have all the housewives gone?”
“Hia, you came home late, where is the housekeeper waiting? this is congee, let's eat.” Nopp's older brother was watching over me all night while playing the game so loud that it was deafening.
“Macau... can you bring me water?”
“In a second, Hia... Enter the left fort!!!”
“Kau...my throat is dry!!”
“A moment!!!”
“Kau! I don't have strength.”
“Jesus OK!!” The troubled little brother went and poured water into a glass for me to drink while muttering all the time.
“If you're going to watch my fever like this, just take me to the hospital, my chances of survival are higher.”
“Hia, I can take care of you myself... Enter the middle lane!” He pressed the game and his mouth spoke to me to calm down like that. Even though I had a fever that night I saw no escape, but in the end, he lay with his neck crooked next to my bed not far away.
“Hia, you are my whole world so don't leave me or go anywhere, I promise to be together forever...
- [Morgue]-
“I promise to be with you, Macau forever...”
Then why did Macau leave me first...? Why? Macau.
I came to consciousness again after I woke up from the dream of my brother, and my brother by my side since I was growing up, but that was just a beautiful memory, because in reality here I and Pete stood motionless, as if time had pressed them to a standstill. We stood before the faceless, soul of my beloved brother in my memory, Macau, still clear, And always lined with beautiful stories. I really can't take this, at least if you really have to go please say goodbye to me...
I'm losing my mind, Macau...
I held Macau's hand tightly, his body was pale and froze. Can you tell me what I need to do to buy some time to hold on to my brother's life, can you tell me? I'm ready to do anything...
“My good brother...I love you, Macau.” Pete leaned down to embrace Macau while his tears continued to flow.
“Can I come in...? This is evident at the scene.”
The undercover cop sent by Master handed me a clear envelope, inside of which was a branded box of Polaroid photos, and a camera. So I hurriedly took it out and opened it...
Everything is going very slowly when I open it. A brand name box containing a beautiful silver watch with the dial inside engraved with the name of the famous brand along with the word 'Vegas'. I let out a sob with a feeling that I could hardly breathe again.
“Actually, I intended to give it to Hia because he became a director. But today he became the owner of the company. Is the gift still good? Ray.”
“Oh...I think Khun-Vegas must be very proud. Khun-Macau, you've been saving your own money, tutoring high school students for several months, isn't it?”
My brother's words flashed into his head, even though the watch glass cracked, and the clock hand stopped at 6 o'clock 6 minutes. But now the time has passed, please. Macau, Macau can give Hia this much time? That's it, really Macau? Can you walk on with me a little more...
Pete came to support me because my condition was so bad that the plainclothes officer still made a troubled face.
No matter how long I stare at it, time doesn't move. There's no sign at all, no sign of moving.
And in the envelope, there's also a Polaroid, a selfie of Macau on the dock deck, a smiling face with two thumbs up, and a message written on it.
'I will always be by Hia's side.' I bit my lip tightly, and my whole body began to tremble from the unstoppable agony. Now the time with him is not enough Macau, if possible I would like to pull things back to make every day and time of my time with Macau the most meaningful, and precious...
I looked at Macau's face and was heartbroken...
“Master has informed me that Ray's body has been found.” The plainclothes policeman lowered his head and told me in a low voice.
“What do you mean...” Pete asked with little strength.
“But we must have the police doing the case report it as suicide, and release the news like that as Master ordered.”
“But Macau didn't kill himself...” I took a long breath before the pent-up grief transformed into the rage he was about to erupt...
Two things in the world that we can't change... 1 is time and 2 is truth.
“Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” My clenched fists with anguish from the inside came out and exploded until I had to turn around and beat the wall with anger that I couldn't control, “Those bastards!!!!!!!!!” I tried to vent my anger by smashing the wall until my hands were covered with blood.
“...Vegas... Enough.” Pete came over and embraced me from behind, and held me back to calm me down.
“I'm going to kill him!!!!!!!!!!!!” Pete grabbed me so tightly that we both sat down on the floor where Pete held me from behind and wouldn't let go, and I
can't control anything anymore. Even in my head, I was slowly imagining that the bastard would die under my hands and that I would wash his feet with his blood for all the evil he had done.
“I promise that I will be by your side and will do everything to make him pay for Macau’s death.”
“My little brother... My brother is dead Peteeee, that bastard killed my brother!!!!” I rumbled out as if my whole life was meaningless, and there was nothing left, but Pete tried to stroke my arm as he calmed me down. But I could feel the heartbeat so strong that it almost pierced out...
“Concentrate! Because only Satan can judge another Satan...” Pete spoke in a calm voice.
“[Sobbing]... my dear brother...I promise to punish the person who did this to you, Macau, I promise...” Pete gently carried me to Macau's bed once more before Doctor Tob walked in and manually closed the plastic zipper sealing Macau in darkness...I looked at my brother's face which slowly faded away with sorrow.
“I love you, Macau. All the time... forever...”
Thank you for the best time Macau and for being by my side, I will remember every second, every minute, every hour. I will always hold you, Macau in my memory...You do not have to hurt anymore, my dear brother, Macau.
I'm so proud of you, Macau... Sleep with easy Macau.
You, Macau, will always be in everyone's memories.
END.
-To Be Continued, The end of the mafia- Krin-Teerapanyakul.
Macau, once upon a time, was a dear little boy who grew up in a mafia family, and would like to thank you for joining us on this journey. For a long time, the faintest memory was that Macau was a bad boy, cheeky, and stubborn, but that was only a fragile shield for Macau. He learned and moved forward, but the clear image Macau represents was courage, daring to battle his fear, daring to battle against the past and live in the present, daring to battle himself. ... Even though he grew up painfully, it was because of that strength and courage that Macau was able to get through it all. Both Macau's smile and brilliance will be remembered forever, and Macau's happy scene will live forever...
Nice to meet you...
Only you... only you will forever be in the memory.
T/N: Goddamn it I have so many questions
1. Who killed Macau?
2. Who is the Master?
3. What is Kinn’s plan? Will he support his father and sacrifice Porsche or will abandon his father for Porsche?
4. What will Teekhun do since Doctor Tob is firm against the Main Family?
5. When will someone kill Korn for heaven sake? The man is evil!!
Anyway... See yall
Stay Awesome... Eunuch!
