Meanwhile, Mello sat behind the wheel of his car, navigating his way to work, the hum of the engine accompanying his thoughts.He glanced at his phone, noting the absence of any messages from Kelan, but he shrugged it off, assuming he must be busy. As he continued along the orderly street, he approached a traffic stop, joining the line of vehicles patiently awaiting their turn to proceed.While he waited, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the illuminated screen of a nearby billboard. There, amidst the sea of advertisements, Lisa's captivating image emerged, her flawless complexion and radiant smile captivating as she beautifully promoted a skincare product.He let out a heavy sigh."Mello, focus, please focus," he reminded himself aloud, shaking off the distraction of the commercial when he noticed the aching in his heart. "You have to figure out how Sir Ren is planning on attacking Ashley Group... Please and please, forget about Lisa for now." He smiled painfully and gently cradled h
Mello looked at the video closelyMmmmSomething's not right.He took his lower lips into his mouth, thinking about what might seem off.From the video, He noticed some guards walking in slightly different uniforms from the ones of Ashley group wears.Each of them carried a briefcase as they proceeded into the building lot." Hmm, what could this be?" He asked himself and zoomed the video.His sight suddenly got blurry as he moved closer to the screen.He rubbed his eyes gently.He forwarded the video and looked furtherWhere are these guys going? A huge headache suddenly hit him this time and he took his eyes off the screen when he couldn't concentrate." What was wrong? " he asked himself.Mello's eyelids grew heavy as he stared at the live feed on his screen, the flickering images blurring before his eyes. the rhythmic hum of the building lulling him into a sense of drowsiness. He tried getting up but he felt tipsy.Despite his best efforts to stay alert, fatigue began to weigh
" Wait! Something's missing" mello's voice cut through the room. " The drug delivery vehicle was missing from the feeds, I still recalled this scene when I went there " Mello's voice cut through the tension in the room as he brought attention to the glaring leak in the live feed. His team members leaned in, their expressions growing increasingly serious as they processed the implications of his words."So, let me get this straight," Kelvin spoke up, furrowing their brow in concentration. "You're saying that the drug delivery vehicle was missing from the live feed, even though you remember it arriving during your inspection?"Mello nodded grimly, his gaze fixed on the screen displaying the manipulated footage. "That's correct..." His team members exchanged concerned glances, realizing the gravity of the situation. If someone had managed to infiltrate the hospital under the guise of a legitimate drug delivery, it could mean that they had inside knowledge of the facility's operations
Soon Mello arrived at Blue Sea restaurant and went to an open seat.There were people around having their dishes and none paid attention to him.He checked the message the informant sent to thim again, to make sure he's not at the wrong place.He looked around, looking for any familiar face but found none." welcome sir" a gentle voice broke out beside him."Thank you," Mello replied, glancing up at the waiter with a nod. He tucked his phone away discreetly and focused on the menu, eager to blend in and wait for his contact to reveal themselves." What would you like to be offered, Sir?" The waiter asked again, dropping the menu on the table before Mello.Mello scanned the menu, pretending to be engrossed in the choices while keeping a keen eye on his surroundings. The gentle ambiance of the restaurant mixed with the murmur of conversation around him, creating a comforting backdrop to his anticipation. He remained alert, ready for any sign from his informant."

Mello's heart pounded in his chest as he hurried towards the waiting car.He got there and was ushered into the car, the door closing behind him with a resounding thud, sealing him off from the tumultuous scene outside. Immediately the vehicle started moving, a sense of calmness washed over him as he leaned his back, resting himself on the leather seat.He turned to his side and saw Esther seated." Esther!" He called when he noticed her.She gave him a reassuring smile." I had to rush over as soon as I heard the news " He returned the smile before expressing his confusion." What's happening, Esther? Are the claims right? And where's Kelan?" He asked, showing great concern. " Is this how far Sir Ren is willing to go ? "Esther took a deep breath before answering" You have to see this" she said, pointing her phone in his direction.He took her phone from her and what he saw made his heart skip a beat......BREAKING NEWS!

Mello held himself together inside the moving vehicle.He should be strong in this hard times. He can't afford to be weak. No one should be capable of bringing him down.His gaze hardened.He's going to strike back and he's going to do that in a hard way that'll make them regret ever crossing paths with him.Esther coughed twice in a manner to draw his attention."

He asked and she sniffled hard in return." Kelan has been missing for the past three days now, Mello. We can't find him." She said, her tears threatening to fall.Esther's words hung in the air, . Mello's smile faded, replaced by a furrowed brow. He turned to her abruptly, "Missing? For thre
Esther couldn't help but feel a mixture of anxiety and curiosity as she glanced at Mello, her mind buzzing with questions. She observed this demeanor, searching for any hint of strategy in his expression.How would he persuade the investors to stay? It was a daunting task, one that would require all of Mello's smartness and intellect. But she had seen him rise to challenges before, and she had faith that he would find a way to rally their support.

The gravity of the moment seemed to hang heavy in the air, welcomed by the silence between them. As Mello's eyes remained fixed on the building,
