The sun had gone, leaving the night sky with the moon on duty. The breeze blew lightly, creating a ridiculously cold sensation. In a place at the back of the building with a few trees standing tall, a man sat leaning against the wall with a blank look, staring ahead at the darkness and loneliness.Still dressed in the same clothes and the same place, Felix's condition looked chaotic. There were two bruises on his handsome, wrinkled face. But that didn't make him rush over to get them treated.Bay, the man, had been taken to the police station by Inspector Theron and Investigator Orion. With some evidence at hand, Bay would soon go on trial. Felix had told Inspector Theron to punish the man severely in accordance with all the crimes Bay had committed, including the identity fraud eight months ago.Felix had sympathized with the man because he had been Mr. Zay's 'son' for some time, but this time, he no longer cared about Bay's life and future. All sympathy was gone, along with the crim
The sound of sobbing filled a white room with a strong smell of medicine.The spacious room with a set of sofas, a dispenser, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, several small ornamental plants, and a large bed with amenities was only filled by two people of different genders.The girl was sitting on a chair next to the bed with her face hidden in the folds of her hands. The sound of her crying sounded suffocating, making it the only sound there. As for the man, he was lying weakly with his eyes closed tightly.They were Clarita and Felix.When the two Orion Investigator messengers brought Felix to the hospital where Mr. Zay was being treated, they met Clarita, who was about to go home because her phone calls to Felix and Chloe were not being answered. Clarita was worried that something might happen to them.And it turns out that her thoughts were right. Clarita burst into hysterical tears as she embraced Felix's unconscious body with blood flowing from his arm.Secretary Jorell, who
"Young Master." Secretary Jorell entered Felix's hospital room with slow, hesitant steps. His face, which was trying to be as casual as possible, looked very stiff, making it unsightly. Felix, who was staring at him, even frowned faintly. "How are you?"Felix, who was still looking at him intently, nodded slowly. "As you can see."Secretary Jorell also nodded and smacked his lips, suddenly feeling awkward because he didn't know what to say."Sit down!" ordered Felix with a deepening frown. He didn't usually behave like this. Was there something wrong?Suddenly, Felix thought of his father. He had a bad feeling, and he straightened up with a strained look.However, before Felix could ask a question, Secretary Jorell was already ahead of him. "How is the case progressing?"Felix's face changed drastically. His gaze went blank again as the memory of the previous incident entered his head. "It's awaiting trial.""So, is it over?" Secretary Jorell unconsciously became so enthusiastic that
Felix stood at one side of the bed, staring at Clarita, who lay with a pale face. Seeing her weakened condition like this made Felix's heart ache even more.The doctor's words that his sister was experiencing severe stress that could make her mentally unstable kept ringing in his mind."I'm sorry," Felix whispered sadly.He had never felt this weak. All his life, he had always stood tall without fear of anything. Even when Arista betrayed him, although it left him traumatized, it didn't necessarily make him frantic or frustrated.Looking back, he quickly forgot, as if he felt no emotional turmoil. The only thing he thought about the betrayal was disgust.But now, seeing his family being hurt one by one and falling because of it, Felix felt helpless. Guilt and regret filled his heart."I'm sorry, Clarita. Everything that happened to you is because of me. I caused it. I'm sorry," Felix whispered, biting his lower lip. His clenched hand moved to touch Clarita's, but he held it back."Aft
Before Felix could turn around, Caitlin had already broken free from Chloe's grasp and ran so fast that she crashed into Felix's feet. "Brother!" Her cries broke out, sounding so loud.The anxiety and fear Felix felt grew as he turned around and crouched down, hugging Cailtin's trembling body and holding her. No words came out of his mouth. Only his hand movements tried to calm his sister. Now and then, he looked out the window, making sure that his father was okay.Chloe, who had arrived in front of Felix, immediately wiped her tears even though her efforts were in vain. Because, like a stream of water flowing from a mountain, her tears continued to fall without stopping."Are you okay?" Chloe asked in a husky voice.Felix immediately looked at her. Seeing her crying like that made him think that she had heard the news about him being injured. Not wanting his sister to be even more upset when she found out about Dad's condition and ended up like Clarita, Felix hurried to get them awa
At the police station, Secretary Jorell, along with Attorney Bo, confronted Inspector Theron. They handed over the written agreement signed by Mr. Zay and Bay."So they reached an agreement, and the other party broke it?" Inspector Theron shook his head slowly after reading and seeing Bay's signature. This man was too blinded by an obscure grudge to plunge him into a pit of misery.Lawyer Bo nodded firmly. "We hereby wish to charge the perpetrator with multiple articles. Regarding identity fraud, we also want to raise it and make it another crime. As for the fines to be paid and the medical expenses that the victim is undergoing, we will still ask for them as written regardless of how the perpetrator is currently doing."Inspector Theron involuntarily held his breath when he heard this. Bay's history... was really over."With the amount of evidence that has been gathered, we want the trial to start within this week!" Lawyer Bo's decision sounded so firm."We will work on it as soon as
Secretary Jorell drove his car at high speed while trying to dial Felix's number. But since leaving the police station until now, the call had gone unanswered. Not wanting to waste any time, he immediately switched to Clarita's number, but he got the same result."Ah, crap!" cursed Secretary Jorell, feeling both annoyed and anxious.Finally, he chose to focus on driving because he thought Clarita might still be unconscious, while Felix kept her company until he forgot his cell phone. As for Chloe, the girl must be at home and unaware of the latest situation, so it seemed a waste to contact her.After a long journey with annoyance hanging over it due to various disturbances, the car driven by Secretary Jorell finally arrived at the hospital parking lot.Without waiting for long, he immediately ran inside in a hurry and pressed the elevator button according to the floor of the room occupied by his superior."What took you so long?" Secretary Jorell stared impatiently at the elevator doo
"Nothing? Do you really mean it? Did you see it well that Young Master Felix didn't come home? What about the back door? Maybe he entered through that door." Panicking after hearing the security guard's answer, Secretary Jorell asked several questions in rapid succession.He was too scared to think about where the man had gone. Especially since he had previously said, he was going to follow him to the police station.Suddenly, Secretary Jorell came to his senses, and he looked at the confused security guard intently. "So, Young Master Felix really didn't come home?""Yes. Secretary Jorell, I can't possibly be lying to you. I know you came here because of something urgent. Then, what did I do it for?" The security guard looked earnest.Surprisingly, Secretary Jorell nodded and didn't press anymore. He quickly closed the car window and sped away.After a while, the car stopped in front of the police station.Secretary Jorell opened the door hurriedly and then took a small run into the b
"Welcome, Mr. Felix!" But strangely, everyone there immediately bowed and exclaimed in unison. Even the person asking irritably now seemed to have a great deal of respect for Felix.Seeing them like that, Felix secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least the people here were easy to organize, making him calmer.Levi, who had been worried that they would attack Felix, slowly stepped forward with a smile and shouted sternly. "Everyone, please pay close attention to Mr. Felix, and don't miss a single word he says!""Okay!"Then Bobby stepped forward and handed Felix a folder. Before opening it, Felix looked at the dozens of men standing in front of him and then divided them into groups of five. Everything went smoothly, and they changed places obediently without causing any commotion."I've tidied up all your work. So now, let's start with the people you've taken property from," Felix said as he opened the folder and looked at group one. "You guys, go to Mrs. Ina's house! The debt she
Throughout the night, Felix spent his time finding out about the group and making plans for all the problems. It just so happened that Secretary Jorell contacted him so he could easily confirm the matter.The next day, everyone gathered in the living room with serious expressions. Felix, who was standing in front of them, began to speak. "From now on, forget about all the work you've been doing.""Sir." Levi was surprised and was about to give his opinion, but Felix immediately gave him a sharp look, so the man abandoned his intention."What you've done to them, we must fix it individually. But still, you can't show yourself in front of them. Do it quietly. Then, for the work that hasn't been done, just do it as it should be. There should be no force or violence. Do you understand?" Felix's gaze swept over everyone in front of him.However, none of them dared to speak up. Until Levi finally said, "Sir, can it be done? Maybe you don't know, but what we've done is not only limited to ta
"Sir, this is the list of members we have," Levi said as he handed a red folder to Felix, sitting with his legs crossed on the single sofa.Felix accepted it. But, having just looked at the first page, he immediately closed it and threw it on the table in front of him. "I don't know them, so I don't care about the names. Don't make me waste time, Levi! Get to the point!""Sorry, sir." Levi looked down guiltily and then turned to pick up a black folder held by one of his colleagues and handed it to Felix. "This is a list of our work so far. But here is just the gist of it. As for the explanation, that's in a different folder."Felix nodded vaguely, took it, and opened it. Instantly, his body straightened up with eyes widened in surprise. He stared intently at the writing on the first page and kept repeating it to ensure he hadn't read it wrong. Then he flipped through all the next pages quickly."What is this?" Felix's jaw hardened, and he gave Levi a sharp look as he held up his folde
Felix stood with his gaze directed forward. His face was filled with disbelief as well as frustration. "Why?""That's what I should have asked you. Why did you just show up? Where have you been that you didn't know about us?" The man who had opened the door replied to Felix's words seriously.He stood to the right, in a row with five other men. Their appearance was the same. However, the accessories worn by the other five men were fewer than the man. It proved that his position was higher than theirs.Felix shook his head in surprise.His brain, which usually worked quickly, suddenly became empty and difficult to think.The man, whose name he didn't know yet, admitted that he was the head of a group founded by the elders of the Pratama family. His members numbered in the hundreds and were scattered in several places. However, over the past year, several people left the group because they felt that they were no longer on the same path.Those people were Bobby, Mason, Wyatt, Tristan, an
Felix frowned with a look of wariness in his eyes. "Who are you?"However, instead of answering, the person on the other end of the line chuckled softly. Of course, that made Felix chuckle. He really didn't like this kind of small talk. He didn't know who this person was, but it was clear that he was an annoying person and not easy to deal with."Using someone else's cell phone is very rude. Give it back to him, and let me talk to him!" Felix commanded warningly."Oh? Unfortunately, he's not someone else to me. Sir, aren't you too ignorant? You don't even recognize your employees. I'm always waiting for you and expecting you to reach out to the stranded me, but you don't even ask how I'm doing." The man rambled dramatically, making Felix's expression turn grim.What did he mean?He always cared for his employees and never neglected them. But this obscure person was calling him bad names. This was defamation!He didn't even know who this person was, but how could he claim to be his emp
"Ah, that, he's already gone. But he really helped me earlier. It's just that his attitude was too cold, so he just left," replied Grace, who then smiled with a happy face, remembering Felix's handsome face that was so charming.Olivia just nodded slowly. However, when she looked at Grace to invite her to go home, she immediately frowned in surprise at her behavior. "What's wrong with you?""Oh? Nothing." A surprised Grace shook her head. Her hand returned to Olivia's arm and led her away. "I owe him a favor, and I hope we can meet again.""Didn't you just say thank you?" asked Olivia in surprise.Grace shook her head quickly with a restrained smile. She looked even more blushing. "I did. But I want to see him again. He's the man of my dreams. I think we might just be soul mates."Upon hearing this, Olivia, who had been staring strangely at the girl beside her, burst into laughter. She even stopped her steps. Her crisp laughter sounded annoying to Grace's ears, making the girl scowl i
Unfortunately, what was expected did not match reality. What Felix thought would be a short time turned out to be a very long time because the thief was so clever at escaping.Felix chased tirelessly, but the pickpocket also kept running through the small streets and kept turning randomly. Sometimes, he even jumped over walls and climbed trees, much to Felix's annoyance.Finally, Felix stopped his steps with his gaze fixed on the man's back. He was breathing hard, with his face contorted with annoyance. "This is the first time I've met such a strong villain.""If this keeps up, I won't be able to complete the mission," he continued with a soft sigh."EasySync, exchange my points for an incredible running speed!" he commanded then.Ting![Command received.][Processing order.][5000 points exchanged for running power successfully performed.][Master, please!]Felix smiled wryly at that. His eyes became sharp. "This time, you won't be able to get away from me, damn it."After that, he m
The chaos frightened many, especially those with debt agreements with the mysterious group.This situation was more dire than the previous days. They felt crushed. Even if they could pay off all their debts, they could not settle them easily because they did not know much about the group.The group had no specific identity, and no one knew exactly where they were. They would come as they pleased and leave without a trace, without being contacted again.If this continues, everyone could experience mental distress as they drown in their fears. The group was like a real terror that haunted everyone in debt."Fortunately, the house was empty, so there were no victims involved," said a man clutching his chest and breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire that had engulfed the house had been extinguished. "I was so scared earlier."The man next to him nodded with a pale face. "I felt like I couldn't even breathe. I can't imagine what it would be like if the owner was inside. The
"Is there still no word from Felix?" asked Miles, who was now sitting at the dining table, facing Benton with a beer can in his hand. "You guys are so close, more like family. Did he really not tell you anything?""No," replies Benton, sighing softly. "If we knew, we wouldn't have hidden it. It seems like he's really angry this time.""I've never seen him angry in all this time, and even I always imagined how he would react when angry. But I didn't expect that... he's so scary like this," Benton continued, staring straight at the table in front of him with his blank stare.Perhaps if he had known that Felix's anger would be carried out by leaving without news, he would never have imagined or wanted it.It was tantamount to punishing those left behind, even worse than throwing a punch.Miles takes a deep breath and sips his beer. His gaze wandered in the other direction, and he muttered, "Where the hell is he?"Then he remembered something and hit the table with his clenched fist. His
