“Matthias!” Arnauld happily cheered when he arrived at the warehouse and saw Matthias, sitting in a foldable chair, staring at him with a blank expression–like a king overlooking his vassal.Aren who saw this clicked his tongue. Why does his father look like a dog in front of this Matthias person, barking and wagging his tail cheerfully as if his owner came back after a long time.“You know I became curious when my men suddenly called me which is unusual. So, I checked if it’s you but it turns out that it’s your little hatchling here.”Arnauld looked at his son quizzically. What did he do?He wanted to ask.But then, it’s a good thing that he did that since the result brought him face-to-face with Matthias.“Forgive my son, Sir…”Matthias frowned at Arnauld’s sudden change of tone.He’s just a bit over 40 years old with a son that’s barely adult but as their rank dictates, he’s bowing towards Matthias. But even with that, Matthias finds it repulsive when someone older is acting like

Back to the present time, Matthias went straight to his main office after the talk with Arnauld.It was almost 10 pm when he arrived and most of the general staff had already left."Sir, you got a message from General Zion from Ruzka," Clementine, his secretary, informed Matthias. "Ignore them. How's my flight to Shian, by the way?" The secretary scrolled on the tablet and checked Matthias' itinerary. "You need to be at the airport tomorrow at 2 am."Matthias nodded at the answer and opened the door to his office where the documents for his plan are kept."The thing that I asked you about. Did you already prepare it?"Clementine gave Matthias a confident smile and showed the flash drive where the files and photos that might incriminate Mr. Owen are saved."I have it all here: details of their operation, location and names of people who are involved with their business," Clementine said.This gave a reason for Matthias to smile a bit since his plans are rolling on a straight way. Th

When he was arrested, Zack Cheng remained silent. He never explained how the trafficking works under Mr. Owen's business nor tried to appeal like what Mr. Owen did. Except for a few minutes talking with Mr. Owen, Zack did not speak with the authorities."Until when are you going to act like this?" Kinard asked Zack when it was time again to take statements from him. "You being silent in all of these is just making things worse for both of us. Can't you allow us to get stronger evidence against Harold Owen?"But Zack just looked boringly at Kinard. He has no intention of cleaning his name because being out of Owen's radar is the best thing that happened for him!Meanwhile, after Mr. Owen was released from detention, right after he signed several papers detailing the 'atrocities' and 'wrong-doings' of his so-called adoptive son, he was greeted by a much larger issue.Turns out, his arrest was captured in camera and has been posted online by a nameless user with a caption that spikes d

Unlike the scene with Mr. Owen, Matthias was professionally welcomed by Kinard–no lukewarm coffee, no unheated meal. Instead, he’s served with a proper snack and water bottle to help the food go down.“It’s my first time meeting you, Sir. Pleased to meet you, I am Kinard Sylas, the chief here.”Matthias shook hands with Kinard and they proceeded with his profile, stating his name, age and current address. “Matthias Claude…hm, you’re a previous resident here and you don’t have any hits yet, that’s good, we can continue with your story.”So Matthias told Kinard everything starting when he received a call from Mr. Owen, saying that he became the heir of a billionaire and the ridiculous twists and turns in his life since then.“So, this Elisha Viktorin, fell down on the cliff, dead?”Matthias lowered his head, thinking back on what happened before when he’s forcibly taken away by the humanoid Mirella and his men.“Yes. I am sure because there’s no way she would be able to survive on that

After learning about Ricardo’s death, there are no more peaceful times for Mr. Owen because aside from his own overthinking, he also keeps seeing Elisha’s figure anywhere.“Can’t you rest for a bit today?” Alma, Mr. Owen’s legal wife asked her husband. “If you rest now, things will be better for you–”“Ridiculous!” Mr. Owen shouted. “Are you thinking? How can my fate change for the better if I won’t do anything about it? Tsk, stupid woman.”But before he can leave two packages arrived at Mr. Owen’s table. One is an envelope, the other one is a notebook sized box.He opened it and from the first package, Mr. Owen saw a family picture of him, Elisha and Matthias together with other people close to them. Everyone’s smiling brightly and Elisha has that bridal glow everyone should be envious of. Immediately, Mr. Owen ripped the photograph.What’s that?The wedding never happened!There’s no wedding!Wait, is there?No!He can’t remember anything…But the photo…Still confused at the photo
