Alex takes a glance at them for a moment coldly, before he tries to ignore their insult. “I came here to kill some time. Not killing some cockroaches like you!” And suddenly… Prang!!! A dude slams a liquor bottle on the table, expressing his displeasure with Alex’s rebuke. His pride is hurt, to find someone he sees as a weak man dares to taunt him like that. It’s the same with the rest. They are the kind of thugs who like to insult others, but can’t stand to be insulted. The bartender, who has just come bringing the lemon juice for Alex, is now looking so terrified. So far, he has been acting like a real dude in belittling Alex. But now, noticing there will be a fight, he begins to be chickened out. Alex nonchalantly drinks the lemon juice a bit. He then takes a deep breath while tasting how sour that lemon juice is. He actually intends to ignore his annoyance with that strong sour taste. But the thugs behind keep agitating him. “Look at him! Can’t even stand the taste of lemon

Bella tries to ease the tension. But the more she shows her trust and concern to Alex, the more that young rookie is irritated. Even his own partner has started to show his confusion a bit. Feeling as someone with power and authority, Melvin forces himself to try entering Alex's house. It’s all just for the sake of personal interest and his blind jealousy, and no longer has anything to do with complaints from neighbors. But Alex blocks his way, standing right in front of him with a cold face, which only makes the rookie even more agitated. “Did you bring any search warrant?” Alex inquires. Melvin is twitching his eyebrows. He begins to think about something, and looks around for a moment. And indeed, there are still a few neighbors watching from their houses. “Come on, Man! Why don't you just let me in, so that I can say something to them.” “I have no obligation to do so,” denies Alex. “There’s no plain crime in sight, you are not here to arrest me to give you a reason to search

The doubt starts floating above his head. Fears that his presence there might already be known begin creeping inside his heart. If it’s true that the man has noticed and recognized him, this will only make his attempt to look for the man to be even harder. He even starts feeling that he may be currently watched. He looks around, and also above the rooftop. But the dawn is so quiet. There’s almost no one there. He decides to move to another place, to an alley on the next building. He tries to get away from the open space to avoid being noticed, while he keeps observing that trash can from there. He waits a little longer until that place starts becoming a bit crowder. And then, a garbage truck arrives, and Alex is worried that they will throw all the contents of that trash can into their truck. “Hey, hold on!” he calls as he rushes toward the trash man. “What?” “There’s something in that trash can that belongs to me.” “And you want to take it back?” “Yeah!” The man frowns, thin

On the way, Boris doesn’t tell Sofia about the plastic bag which only contained a pile of papers. This is all at Alex's own request.It was also because of Boris himself, who was so sure that Sofia really put money in that plastic bag. If he tells her now that they took the bag and found no money, Sofia might accuse them of deceiving her and taking the money for themselves.After all, he hasn’t told Sofia at all that Alex himself was involved. If he tells her, most likely she won’t trust him even more due to her hatred toward Alex. The least he can do is to give Sofia a sketch of a face of the man with the unaligned front teeth.“Is this the man who blackmailed me?” asks Sofia.“Most likely,” replies Boris.“How are you so sure? If your friend really met the man, couldn’t he just get him?”“It’s not that simple! He had waited for the man to pick the money until morning, but no one picked it until a garbage collector threw the contents of the trash can into their truck,” explains Boris

“Heh?! Really?”  It takes him a few seconds to realize he is getting unfair treatment because of his look and appearance. It was due to his own self-confidence, which had been built during his years as a boss with good stature. He didn't expect that he would get such a treatment when entering a car shop.  Actually, all of them are not cheap items. Everything he currently wears is the best product that can maintain their quality after many years. It's just that they are not in their best condition anymore.  Not to mention Alex's recent activity since yesterday, which some people have mistaken him as a beggar. Knowing the situation, he simply takes a long sigh with a tired face.  “Look! I may not look like them, and I don’t have any intention to buy those two-doors cars. But I’m also a customer,” Alex explains.  And again
