Then the four people immediately ate the food served on the table. Leon and Robert did not suspect a thing. They both happened to like the food. They enjoyed it without knowing that a danger was lurking for them both. Hanamura deliberately put sleeping pills in Robert's drink glass, and aphrodisiacs in Leon's drink. Hanamura had ordered different glasses for Leon and Robert so that they would not be mixed up. Then Aurelia cleverly placed each glass in front of Leon and Robert without arousing the slightest suspicion.In the middle of Robert's meal, he choked so he immediately reached for his drink, then he gulped it down until half the glass was left. After that he continued eating. Robert's meal was not even half finished, but the man kept yawning. For some reason, he suddenly felt so sleepy that Robert couldn't focus on eating. The knife Robert was holding slipped several times when slicing the steak on his plate.Leon, who accidentally noticed this, frowned in confusion. He wonder

"It looks like Leon! Come on, faster!" Aurelia exclaimed.Aurelia saw a figure of a man walking a little ahead of them. She was sure that it was Leon. Judging from the suit he was wearing, it was exactly the same color as the one Leon had worn earlier. Understandably, Leon had come straight to the restaurant after work, so he hadn't had time to change into his work clothes.The figure of the man who was Leon realized that a car was driving behind him. He turned his head and when the car was hit by the light, Leon recognized it as Hanamura's car, the car that was parked in the restaurant's special parking lot earlier and happened to be next to Leon's parked car."They're chasing me. I must not get caught!" Leon monologued and resolved himself, he would try his best to escape Aurelia and Hanamura's pursuit. Leon ran while holding back the heat and the desire to be touched. "That's Leon. He ran away from us on purpose!" Aurelia exclaimed, feeling furious and disappointed because her wi

"Yes, Uncle Robert. What's up? Have you found it? What?"Leon dropped his phone, he was really shocked when he heard what Robert said.[Sir! Young Master! Are you okay?]Robert's voice calling and worrying about him suddenly disappeared because Leon turned off his phone. Leon held his chest which felt tight. Every time he remembered his late parents, there was a tightness that surged in his chest. Sadness mixed with regret always came to hit him.Until now, Leon's biggest regret was why Leon didn't stop his parents from leaving. Leon had already had a bad feeling about them, but he didn't tell them and didn't try to prevent them from leaving. Until finally the news of the plane crash was heard and his parents were among the victims. [Hanamura felt a grudge against your family, because the late Mr. Hanson stole Hanamura's lover, Mrs. Irenne, your mother, Young Master] Robert's words over the phone earlier clearly reminded Leon of his past wounds.

Aurelia said that while lowering her gaze, she did not dare to look at her father's face which suddenly looked fierce. She really did not dare. She was afraid that her lie would be revealed. "Is that so? Then what is this?" Aurelia's eyes widened when she saw what Laksono showed. Aurelia rubbed her eyes, making sure her vision was not a problem. However, what she saw was real. With hands that suddenly trembled, Aurelia reached for the photos. Photos showing Aurelia's intimacy with Hanamura. When at the restaurant, even when Hanamura kissed Aurelia who was in his arms. Then without breaking the kiss, Hanamura was seen carrying Aurelia into the apartment. Aurelia dropped the photos back on the table. Her hands clenched, really, she felt very annoyed because it turned out that her father had ordered someone to stalk her. "Tell me who that man is! Then what does it have to do with you?" Aurelia kept quiet, not daring to open her mouth. She was afraid that her father would be even an

However, suddenly there was another hand that held it so that Hanamura's hand was just floating in the air. Hanamura glared in surprise, when he saw who had done that. "Enough, don't hurt my daughter again!" Laksono said that with a firm tone and a sharp gaze at Hanamura. Making Hanamura finally lower his hand that had been about to throw a punch at Aurelia. Slap! Bugh! Bugh! Bugh! "Aakh!"Laksono slapped, punched, and kicked Hanamura repeatedly, until the man of Japanese descent screamed and collapsed on the floor. Grimacing while holding his stomach that was hit by Laksono. A blow that could not be underestimated because Laksono used all his strength as a former fighter to do it. "Daddy!" shouted Aurelia who felt relieved and worried at the same time. On the one hand, Aurelia felt relieved because her father's presence ha

"Have you prepared the execution site?" Laksono asked a man who had just come out of the warehouse. "Yes, Sir. It's ready to use," the man replied. Laksono nodded and gestured to two bodyguards to bring Hanamura inside. Hanamura could only stare when he got inside and saw what was there. In the middle of the room was a bonfire with blazing flames. Then above the bonfire, only about one meter above it, hung a very large rope. A chicken that was not very big seemed to be tied to the rope, occasionally struggling because of the heat.Sadistic. That sentence immediately came to Hanamura's mind when he saw what those people had done. Then there was a table near the campfire, on which lay a long sword that Hanamura usually called a samurai. Hanamura wondered, what was the samurai for? Was it to cut the chicken? Or to hurt himself? Really, Hanamura felt very scared. He could imagine what it would be like if he were tied there, replacing the chicken. It must have been very hot, until the

Leon had just finished a meeting with the board of directors when suddenly his cell phone rang. Leon frowned when he saw the caller's name on the phone screen. His heart beat faster than usual, when he finally grabbed the phone and put it to his ear. The man's face looked tense after listening to what the person who called him said. "Henri, make sure the flight tickets are ready. I'll go to the airport this afternoon." [Yes, Sir. The tickets have been booked, you just need to confirm the departure] Henri replied from the other side. "Make sure someone picks me up there! I don't want to wait too long at the airport."[Yes, Sir. I will pick you up myself] Leon ended the call and exhaled roughly. "Vero, when did you wake up?" he muttered softly. Leon immediately packed his things and called Robert. "Uncle, I'm going to Singapore now. Please handle the work like before, Uncle," Leon requested with a serious expression. "Yes, Young Master. I will do what Young Master wants. Uhm, how

Cindy walked towards the exit. Then left the room. However, Cindy had only taken a few steps when she immediately stopped when she suddenly heard Leon's panicked voice. "Vero! Oh my God, Vero!" Leon shouted, which was heard until Cindy finally turned her body. "What's wrong, Young Master?" Cindy asked as she approached Leon. "Vero, Cindy. She just moved her fingers!" Cindy shook her head, she thought something had happened to Veronica that made Leon scream like that. It turned out to be because Veronica moved her fingers.It was like that earlier too, Young Master. But it didn't last long and went silent again." Cindy said that, making Leon exhale roughly. Leon had panicked and was happy earlier because he saw Veronica finally move. He thought Veronica would wake up from her coma, but it turned out that was all she moved. "Be patient, Young Master. That means good progress, right? We should be grateful for it. Hopefully after this, Madam will open her eyes and fully regain consc

Hary grumbled at Toby at length, he had racked his brain and thought about what they wanted to do, but Toby always made Hary's blood boil with his pessimistic words.

"Whose cellphone is this?" muttered the teenager, his name was Ardy. He was indeed still seventeen years old, a student at a high school.The phone was not just any phone, from the brand, Ardy knew enough that the price of the phone was definitely not cheap.
