Rihana came to meet Victor at the place Victor had set.A two-story restaurant and a special room that Victor had reserved just to talk to Rihana."I'm glad you arrived on time," Victor said, smiling and letting Rihana sit down.The woman's face didn't look friendly, she looked wary. Rihana hated it when she had to act like a wary prey in front of her predator."What do you want to talk about?" asked Rihana, coldly and a little snappishly."Me? Who said I wanted to talk?" replied Victor, laughing. "You... are you still wont to talk?""What? It's only been two days, at least give me one more day to think.""What are you thinking about? Should I wait for you to think of a trap to set me up?" Victor asked, then looked at Rihana sharply. "Or should I wait for you to set a plot to kill me?"Rihana did not blink, her eyes showing a sense of tension as Victor seemed to be reading her mind. True, she had thought about killing Victor and settling everything, but she had abandoned that idea.Vic

Xiel had ordered a sweet desserts to calm his mind, but it didn't look like it would appeal to his taste buds. He had been silent with a serious face since fifteen minutes ago.It was all because Xiel was having trouble solving the code that locked the forbidden file. There was only one code left but it seemed like his hacking ability wasn't enough."Is the file unlock access made with future security? Why can't I unlock it?" asked Xiel with an annoyed face, a little frustrated."I don't care about the other contents of the file, but there's only one thing I want to know... I want to make it better."Xiel paused, his serious face sometimes taking on a look of sadness and he muttered, "I want to make her death better....""No, I can definitely open that file. I am an experienced hacker, cracking codes and hacking into computer systems is my job. Yes... I can definitely open that file."Xiel assured himself, then finished the food he had ordered. Just as he was about to leave, someone c

Xiel continued to rebel, but he had his hands tied and his thin body was easily lifted by a large man.Xiel was placed on a chair, then his body was tied to the chair. It was like a kidnapping scene on television, and Xiel didn't expect it to happen to him."Argh, damn it! What do you guys want!"The black sack covering his head was roughly taken away, and Xiel could see that there were four people in a clean, spacious room—not like the dusty warehouses used to confine kidnap victims.Of all the people present, the man with white-blonde hair who smiled smugly was the one who caught Xiel's attention the most."Victor Leighton....""A, gosh, you know me?" asked Victor in a joking tone."Aren't you the hot topic of the Leighton family these days? A born—again loser with so much wealth that he can own a limited edition car that only has five in the world."Victor pretended to be touched. "I'm glad you recognize me in a cool image, even if it doesn't seem like your thing."Xiel sighed at h

Victor was quite surprised when he saw Xiel's slightly messy looks. It seemed like Violet had made her last move to get Xiel to talk; she had brought Vander, who could help her threaten Xiel with violence, but it didn't seem to work.Victor stifled a chuckle at the sight of Violet sitting in front of Xiel with an annoyed face, while Vander had already left."Where's Vander?""Off to work," Violet replied curtly."Looks like your efforts didn't pay off, huh?"Violet stood up and gave Victor an angry look. Then she left in a huff, so Victor could laugh at her.After that, Victor glanced at Xiel, who was looking at him sharply."It looks like someone can't keep the promise word here," Xiel said sarcastically.Victor easily replied, "Who promised?" Victor sat down in the chair Violet had left behind. "Anyway, I've kept my word not to touch you, but I never said that Violet wouldn't touch you."Victor laughed at Xiel, making the man avert his cynical gaze and stifle a wince at the pain on

"What do you mean?" asked Victor with an offended face. "You think I'm just like you?""Yeah, you're doing all this because they're your brothers, and I'm doing all this because of my family."Victor laughed. "Haha, I can't believe you're using family as your excuse to defend yourself.""Why shouldn't I?" asked Xiel, confident in his words. "After all, before becoming a mobster, I was just an ordinary boy too."Victor looked at Xiel coldly and seriously. Xiel laughed at his expression."Why, is there something wrong with what I said?" asked Xiel, "Or did I make you remember something?"Victor leaned back, leaning against his wooden chair."I don't understand what you mean.""If only you understood the biggest reason I'm doing all this, maybe you could understand my actions... since our fates are not that different."Victor glanced at Xiel sarcastically."Are you looking for pity so that I can take pity on you and let you go for free?""Aren't you that kind-hearted guy?""Tsk. I'm also
