Love From Darkness

Bridge Inauguration

Alberto poured the drinks into Alex and Ben's glasses. It was an honor for a Vampire King like himself to pour drinks for his subordinates.

"I remind you again. Don't let anyone know that Alice has the Yin crystal belonging to the red dragon vampire that I want." Alberto again reminded Alex and Ben that it was the three of them's secret.

"Don't worry, Prince Daniel in his life never knew if the crystal was a pair. He thought that the red dragon crystal only had red and white. He was too innocent and stupid," said Ben.

"You're right. I'm very satisfied with your work." Alberto raised his glass followed by Alex and Ben.

After the three of them were satisfied laughing. Alex immediately took the work coat that was on the chair, then he took Ben to the bridge project. Their men were already waiting there.

"Let's go first, Your Majesty," said Ben.

"Quick. Bring the woman here. Make the people there scared. And don't go home if you don't succeed," said Alberto.

Ben and Alex bowed respectfully for a moment and then left. They immediately slid towards the village of Green Forest.

"Are you sure Alice is hiding in that cave over there?" Alex asked, concentrating on driving.

"Sure. The reason why all the access there is broken is Alice. I'm also worried that Alice's minions are trying to knock down the bridge again this time."

Alex fell silent. The two of them didn't say anything else. Until I happened to pass by the hospital. Alex remembered something.

"Do we need to say hello to the victim on the bridge. I think the person saw something in the ravine," said Alex.

"No need. We'll just check ourselves straight into the ravine." Ben refuses to go to the hospital.

In about thirty minutes they finally arrived at the bridge. The situation looks safe without any problems. The great bridge connecting the Green Forest village to the city was finally completed. Many people had gathered to welcome his arrival.

"You've arrived," said Bryan.

The Village Chief of Green Forest drapes flowers on Alex and Ben. After that the two of them sat on a chair under the tent that had been provided. Shortly thereafter, the host invited Alex to give a speech and cut the ribbon as a sign that the road was open to the public.

"I am very happy that the bridge is finally completed without any problems according to our predictions and wishes. Hopefully the residents of Green Forest are happy and happy with the presence of a bridge that we hope will be better than before. Starting today the bridge will be opened to the public."

Alex came down to pick up the scissors on the tray the beautiful woman had brought. Then he was accompanied by Ben, Bryan and the Village Chief of Green Forest to cut the ribbon across the bridge. After the ribbon was cut everyone clapped and the journalists took pictures of the process.

Alex and everyone went back to their seats until the event was over.

"Thank you for making this bridge for our village," said Ron, Head of Green Forest Village.

"No problem. But you didn't forget to sell the house as well as the unused land near the forest?" asked Alex.

"I did. I've taken care of everything," said Ron, handing the land certificate into Alex's hands.

"You're the best, Ron. I transferred more money. Bonus for you," whispered Alex.

"Thank you," said Ron with happy eyes. He did not mind selling his own large house on the edge of the forest. The house is no longer occupied. Since the situation of the Green Forest village was not safe, Ron moved to the center of the village.

Mathematically Ron is lucky to sell the house and the land at a very expensive price, but he does not know, if his decision to sell the house to Alex will bring greater disaster to his village.

Alex transfers a certain amount of money based on the agreement. Then because the event is over, Alex asks Ben to go home first while Alex takes another car to take Ron to the village and see his house. Ron enthusiastically led him to the house he had cleaned.

"You can live in this house at any time. I cleaned it up," said Ron.

"Good. At midnight I will move," said Alex.

"Why until midnight?" Ron was confused.

"Of course so as not to interfere with the activities of the residents," replied Alex.

Ron nodded. Then he said goodbye to go home and left Alex.

"Get everything ready Ben. I'm too lazy to go home." Alex contacted Ben and asked him to immediately send the needed items along with sending some vampires who they will be tasked with combing the cave.

Before long several people had arrived. They were immediately asked to comb the forest and look for the cave that Alex was referring to. Meanwhile, Bryan, who was still leading the project leader to immediately clean the site, asked one of the residents.

"Have you seen the Village Chief?" Brian asked.

"He and Mr. Alex went to the house for sale," said one resident.

"House for sale?"

"That's right. Our village head sold his big house on the edge of the forest. The house has not been used for a long time. I don't understand why Mr. Alex wants a house on the edge of the forest? People are afraid to go to the forest. the price is quite expensive," said the resident as he went across the bridge.

Bryan, who confirmed the residents' words, was increasingly curious about Alex's plan. They were right, why did Alex buy a house on the edge of the forest that was believed to be haunted?

Bryan was about to look for information, but he was hit by a small child who was crying while running and was followed by his father.

"Sorry, sir. This is Jo, Grandpa's grandson who had an accident here. He cried and insisted on seeing his grandfather. Even though we told him to wait according to his brother Daniel's request."

Bryan was surprised. He did not expect to meet the Lee family other than Daniel.

"It's okay. You really wanted to meet Lee?" Brian asked.

Joe nodded. He could no longer wait.

"How about you come with Uncle to meet Lee and Daniel?" said Bryan.

"Really? You know them?" Bryan asked again.

"Sure. They're in the hospital. How?" Brian asked.

Jo immediately nodded happily and said goodbye to his uncle and neighbor who had been taking care of him all this time. After that, Jo immediately got into Bryan's car.

"Forgive us," the Uncle said to Bryan.

"No problem. I happen to be seeing Lee too," Bryan replied and rushed to the hospital.

"You really love them both?" Brian asked.

Joe nodded.

"Is Daniel your real brother? You're very handsome like Daniel," said Bryan. He had to give credit to get someone to tell the truth.

"Of course. Even though we are not siblings, Daniel really loves me."

Jo's answer made Bryan smile. His lure to get information from the little boy finally succeeded.

"So you're not siblings? Are you different fathers or different mothers?" Bryan asked again.

"Neither of them. Daniel was saved by grandfather. He actually..." Jo paused for not continuing his words. "He's my brother after all," said Jo finally.

Seeing that Bryan was sure there was something Jo was hiding about Daniel.
