Chapter 20 - Mission

Belinda's eyes are now on Ron, who is sitting in front of her, holding Aidan on his lap who is busy playing with the ropes of the Hoodie that Ron is wearing.

As usual, Ron always looked after Aidan and pampered him. He never even let Aidan out of his arms and laps if they were together like now.

Belinda was silent for a moment, thinking about what was the best decision for herself and Aidan. Because basically if war and rebellion occur it will cause injury and even death. This is something that Belinda doesn't want to happen to any of them, even though it is actually the war and rebellion that Belinda wants. Because it can bring good for the Devil Rebel to expand their territory.

Belinda really wanted to join the fight, but she also couldn't leave Aidan alone in this building, and it was also impossible for her to leave Aidan to anyone. Because he knew, that most members of the Devil Rebel here could not accept Aidan's presence. Even though Aidan was just a child, and had been there for ten months. But this does not necessarily change the minds of those who still reject the child's presence.

Finally, with a heavy heart, Belinda had to give up this opportunity and not participate in the mission to expand their territory, just for the sake of Aidan.

"I… I think it's best if I don't join this Territory expansion mission, Ron… because I'm sure that Aidan won't be safe if I leave him and if I bring him." Belinda explained to Ron who was currently frowning because Ron knew very well the nature and persistence of Belinda to expand the territory. Especially in missions that are rarely carried out like today,

Ron was even more confused about what he should do, he was now looking at Aidan who was still focused on playing with the rope attached to his hoodie. A crazy idea entered Ron's head, which he realized that this idea could harm people including Aidan.

Ron also turned to Belinda and said, "No ... I think you and Aidan should come on this mission, Belinda." said Ron to Belinda who was surprised then frowned at the explanation.

"Are you crazy?! There's no way we can bring Aidan on this mission, after all, we're fighting government soldiers, Ron!" Belinda said to Ron, reminding him that they weren't fighting commoners. Which made Ron just nod his head in response to Belinda's words.

"It's okay, I'd better be here with Aidan. I don't want anyone to get hurt moreover this will endanger Aidan!" said Belinda again to Ron who was now shaking his head, as if what Belinda said was the wrong thing and he was sure it would never happen.

"No Belinda… Aidan will be fine, you will come, but you are at the very back, and I will order Dhan and the others to protect you two!" said Ron to Belinda again, which then made Belinda stand up from her seat while shaking her head quite hard, she felt annoyed with Ron.

"No, Ron! I don't want to harm Aidan, especially if I have to bother the others, that's fine… I'm fine. I'll be here with Aidan. So you guys can fight back and expand your territory without having to think about my condition as well as Aidan's behind. Let us stay here because it will be safer." Belinda explained to Ron, who finally exhaled with a smile and nodded his head to approve Belinda's request to stay in the building and not participate in the rebellion.

"Okay… I can't force you anymore, you can keep Aidan here!" said Ron to Belinda who now smiled and nodded his head in response to Ron's final decision to agree to Belinda's wish at that time.

"When will you carry out the expansion of this Territory?" Belinda asked Ron who was now frowning and then looked at the clock hanging on the old mossy wall, which made Ron speak.

"Twenty or thirty minutes from now." That was the answer that Ron gave to Belinda who now turned to look at the clock on the wall and then nodded her head in response.

"Then go and have a sip!" said Belinda to Ron who now chuckled at the order, which then Ron nodded his head and went to give Aidan to Belinda.

"Hope and pray, may we win the territory, Belinda." said Ron to Belinda who now nodded, responding to Ron's words.

"Be careful… I will always pray for you all, come home safe, and don't let anyone get hurt, Ron!" said Belinda to Ron who was now smiling and then responded to Belinda's worried words to him.

"Take us when we're leaving, because I want to see Aidan's face at that time to cheer me up!" said Ron to Belinda who agreed to this.

"Aidan and I will escort all of you to the front of the gate, calm down!" said Belinda which in the end made Ron nodded and left Aidan and Belinda to prepare himself.

Ron walked out of Belinda's room and then walked quickly to his room, as Ron had said if they were to leave in about thirty minutes, which made him unable to linger much and had to hurry to catch up on his lateness because he was sure that all the members of the Devil Rebel were waiting and ready.

…

Teng!! Teng!! Teng!!

The clock shows one o'clock in the morning, and that is the time when the Devil Rebel gang will launch their action. All members had left their respective places, carrying firearms that were no less powerful than those of the government soldiers. Be thankful that there are many illegal firearms sellers in the country, making them very easy to get.

Ron was standing in front of the border gate, along with Dhan, Julio, and Fernandes. The four of them waited for the arrival of hundreds of members of the Devil Rebel and also Belinda who was supposed to bring Aidan as he told Ron if the two of them would escort them all away that night.

And sure enough, Belinda came along with Aidan who was miraculously awake and still developing a smile when he saw Ron standing in the distance, which of course made many pairs of eyes now look at the ten-month-old toddler.

"He's not asleep?" Ron asked Belinda who shook her head,

"I think he also understands that you're leaving now, and wants to see you all off," Belinda said to Ron, which finally made Ron smile looking at Aidan who was now hugging him before finally laughing. It made Ron feel very happy and very excited to carry out the mission of expanding the territory this time.

"Let's take the territory!!!" shouted Ron with blazing enthusiasm to all the members of the Devil Rebel who also replied to his call in unison.

"OI!!!!"

That night also witnessed when the Devil Rebel conspiracy began to act.
