" Welcome Mr. Tyson." Sambut ahli perniagaan dalam bilik VIP kelab malam itu.
" Don't call me that."
" My bad, Mr. Donald. Thanks to your information we got lucky last week." Ujar Mr. Bill. Dengan maklumat yang diberi Donald rancangannya berjaya.
" What about the launch of your new company? Do you have a suitable date yet?" Tanya Donald walaupun dia sudah tahu rancangan Mr. Bill untuk melancarkan syarikat pada hari yang sama dengan Tengku Haizard.
" Hahaha of course it will go well and it will be a historic day for America. All thanks to you."
Tetamu jemputan Tengku Haizard akan menjadi tetamunya jika Tengku Haizard gagal membuat pembukaan pada hari tersebut.
" Hahahaha. Glad to help. Drinks on me tonight." Ujar Donald mendapat sorokan kencang dari ahli-ahli perniagaan itu.
" Is he dead?" Tanya Mr. Bill.
" No yet. But he got hit." Jawab James.
" Just like his father, he's very lucky." Mr. Bill ketawa mendengar ucapan Donald itu.
" Who's his father?" Donald ketawa kuat mendengar soalan itu.
" No body. Just a random Asian guys." Balas Donald masih dalam tawa.
" I hope we can work together for a long time." Ujar Donald mempelawa Mr. Bill untuk minum.
" Of course. Don't hesitate to ask for my help if you need anything."
" Hahahaha your help? Hahaha will do.. will do.."
" So you want to continue with our plan?" Tanya James melihat mood Donald yang sangat senang itu.
" Of course we have to make him pay back all... We lost a lot of customers because of him."
" I will prepare my men tonight." Ujar James.
" Good. Make sure they don't ruin my plan. When is his party?"
" On this Thursday."
" I can't wait to see his face then." Ujar Donald memeluk seorang wanita disebelahnya.

Dua hari kemudian..
" I thought you would take over your father's company." Kata Mike Tyson berjabat tangan dengan anak sahabatnya itu.
" Thank you for coming."
" Of course I will. Where's your father?" Mike Tyson tercari-cari Tengku Mikhail, sudah lama tidak mengusik kawan lamanya itu.
" He couldn't come because he had to attend an emergency meeting."
" Oh too bad. I really wish I could meet him. Btw I wish you the best for your first step." Ujar Mike Tyson kecewa.
" Thank you. You came alone? Where is your lady?"
" Haha she can't make it. Today is my daughter's college registration. Oh my God, you got quite a big shot as your guests." Bisik Mike Tyson.
" Hahaha... Glad you see that."
" Talk to you later, again congratulations and let me know if you need investors." Mike Tyson meminta diri bila melihat menteri pertahan negara itu turut hadir ke majlis itu.
" Sounds like you want to be one of my investors."
" Of course, I do. Who knows I can get more Mikhail Holding's shares." Ujar Mike Tyson sebelum pergi.
" Welcome Mr. Secretary." Sambut Tengku Haizard dengan ramah.
Dengan kehadiran menteri pertahanan America Lloyd Austin ke majlisnya itu, masa depan syarikat pasti akan berjalan lancar.
" Thank you for your invitation and we hope your company will help our country in the future." Mereka bersalaman buat kali pertamanya.
" My company will provide our best service to train young people and the best equipment."
" Today is also the launch day of Mr. Bill's subsidiary. The former prime minister of America. So I can't be here long." Ujar Mr. Secretary bila setiausahanya mengingatkan tentang jadual seterusnya.
" I understand. I thank you for taking the time to accept my invitation."
" I believe in your ability and service because I am one of the people who have used your services." Bisik Mr. Secretary sebelum meminta diri.
James berjalan kearah Donald yang sedang merokok sambil bersandar pada bonet kereta itu selepas menyuruh guard menutup semula pintu gerbang.
" Damn, he sent me a smurf." Ujar Donald mengundang tawa anak buahnya.
Ghuas menghempas tubuh anak buah Donald yang menyerangnya ke lantai dan berjalan mendekati Donald.
" Stop!" Halang James menolak dada Ghuas, Ghaus tersenyum sinis sebelum memulas tangan James dan mencengkam belakang leher James.
" I'm a bear. Don't do stupid things." Ujar Ghaus menolak James kearah salah sorang anak buah Donald.
" How long do you want us to wait here? You should invite us in." Ujar Donald membetulkan baju kotnya.
" This is a private party Mr.Donald. Only people with invitations can enter."
" Show him." James mengambil kad jemputan dan mencampakkannya pada Ghaus.
" I invited." Donald ketawa kemenangan bila Ghaus mengarahkan guard untuk membuka pintu, hanya 1/4 buah kereta yang dibenarkan masuk sebelum pagar ditutup semula.
" Don't block the road." Ozzie menyuruh anak buah Donald mengubah kereta mereka yang menghalang pintu masuk itu.
Donald mematikan niatnya untuk mendekati Tengku Haizard bila melihat sosok disebelah Tengku Haizard.
" Oh god. I can't believe we will meet here." Tegur Mr. Kian.
" As a senior in arms, of course I will come to support my junior."
" So why don't you approach him?" Mr. Kian sengaja berkata begitu untuk memanaskan Donald.
" You should congratulate him on successfully opening a business in this competitive country. You guys are in the same field." Sambung Mr. Kian lagi.
" I am very proud to see him succeed at such a young age and I would like to establish a business relationship with him. You must have the same intentions, right, that's why you came tonight?" Donald merenung tajam lelaki berasal dari Korea itu.
Lelaki itu sengaja ingin menguji walaupun tahu tentang hubungannya dan Tengku Haizard yang merupakan pesaing sengit itu.
" Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your presence tonight. I am Ghani as your MC for this lovely evening and would like to introduce Tengku Haizard Mikhail the Chief Executive Officer of TH Invictus Firearms."
" A little background on our CEO, born in Malaysia, 25 years old, qualified to manage weapons for 12 years and still single." The hall was filled with cheers and laughter for the guests.
" To not waste your golden time.. Time for shows..." Tiga orang perempuan menolak troli naik ke atas pentas satu persatu.
Donald tersenyum sinis tidak sabar untuk melihat reaksi Tengku Haizard bila kain penutup dibuka.
Mr. Kian ketawa melihat wajah cemberut Donald bila Tengku Haizard memperkenalkan senjata baru yang direvolasikan itu.
" I heard someone tried to sabotage his event. It's sad that he has prepared second options." Ujar Mr. Kian kerana dia tahu bahawa Mr. Bill cuba sabotaj pembukaan syarikat Tengku Haizard.
" F*ck!" Maki Donald perlahan.
" Not sure if he only made two plans... With so many people wanting his stuff, of course he needs to be more careful. Not like that Mr. Donald?"
" Yeah for someone new to the business he sure has a lot of sense."
" Hahaha, that's why your half-brother really wants to work with him." Donald benci bercakap dengan lelaki itu.
Lelaki asal Korea itu tahu terlalu banyak benda tapi dia tidak boleh menyentuh lelaki itu.
Pada malam yang sama...
Wajah Mr. Bill merah menyala menahan marah ramai tetamunya yang lambat hadir kerana mereka menghadiri majlis pembukaan syarikat pesaingnya terlebih dahulu.
Dia tidak sepatutnya percaya 100% pada rancangan Donald.
Tetamunya sibuk berbicara tentang majlis pesaingnya berbanding fokus dengan perniagaan barunya.
Setahun Kemudian...
To be continued...
