“Why do you look at me like that?” he said. “I made a very interesting deal, didn’t I?” David said. “All Baldivino’s assets will fall back into the hands of their rightful owners. And if I lose, I will give you the same amount of assets. That is, of course, very fair Alessio,“ said David. Alessio knew that this should be a fair bet. But… if he loses, of course, he will lose everything. There is nothing left. As for David, all of Baldovino’s assets don’t even touch half of Geoffredo’s assets. That means David still has a lot of treasure. Losing only a quarter wouldn’t be that fatal. “Come on, Alessio. You’re not a coward, are you? So, let’s define it here. You want to lose right now. Or I’ll let you fight first. Because… you alone know the risks. Think about it. What will happen if… I spread the secrets I hold to the media?” “You threaten me. That’s the act of a coward.” “At least I’m no coward more than you,” David replied. He didn’t seem offended. “I know what you think. You on
“Now everyone is here. Everyone we have invited to witness the legal statements of both of us. I, Javer Geoffredo… as the president company of the Geoffredo Group. And beside me, there is already Mr. Alessio Baldovino as the president company of the Baldovino Group.” Things got busier when Javer spoke. The sound of the camera is getting more and more brutal. Every word and every movement seemed to be the most important moment for the journalists there. They know this will be their source of income. The battle between two giant companies. Especially with the presence of Javer, whose name is still not well known in the public. Suddenly came and was announced as the heir of one of the richest conglomerate families in the world. Openly inviting Alessio, who is also the son of the richest conglomerate in Italy, to hold a business battle. With his own desire to be covered by the media. It was clear from Javer’s statement when he first said that he was challenging Alessio. Everyone already
“Now, let Mr. Alessio Baldovino himself speak. Do you have a word or two to say, Mr. Baldovino?” David said. He did that on purpose. Alessio looked at David. There is a look of disapproval. Because he had told David himself that he had nothing to say before this press conference started. “Here.” David handed the microphone to Alessio. Then he himself sat down. Leaning back and looking forward casually. More precisely, he looked at the two anxious-looking people there. Carina and Diego. David has prepared a special gift for them, which he will reveal later at the end of his business battle with Alessio. ‘Just wait.’ He gave the two men a smirk. Diego clenched his fists. Meanwhile, Carina immediately turned her face to the side. Her anger was unstoppable when she saw David. “I don’t want to say anything,” said Alessio. David smiled. He took over the microphone again. “Mr. Alessio has nothing to say. Alright. That is okay. If that’s so. Please, all of you. If there is anything you
“ARGHHHHHH!!!” It’s been a few minutes since Alessio came to his room and he immediately destroyed all the things in his room. All the files that were on the table even fell because of his actions. A laptop, a figure whose glass had been shattered because he threw it with things on the table. His breath was so hunted. His entire face turned red. He punched the wall so hard that his hands were bleeding from it. Alessio was in a state of turmoil at the moment. Frustrated. His anger was overflowing because of worry and fear that was too high. Creak. Blam! Alessio did not look at the door. Someone entered in a hurry. “ALESSIO!” “BROTHER! Apparently, it was his mother and brother. They were very surprised when they saw the conditions in the president’s room, which used to be clean, were now completely messy. Shards of glass were everywhere, scattered on the floor. Even Alessio’s own condition is not much different! Carina immediately ran towards her son. “What are you doing?!” asked
Carina walked arrogantly. Her chin lifted. Her beautiful face is timeless with age that continues to grow to look more and more stunning. Currently, she was in a large company. Her ex-boyfriend. Someone she often turns into a sex slave. Satisfy her desire that her ex-husband can’t satisfy. Just like what she said to Alessio earlier, she would look for as many allies as possible so her company could win. She could use them to help her carry out those cunning plans to destroy David’s efforts to build his business. The powerful ally she has is her ex-boyfriend. Carina was already in front of the president’s room. Without needing to knock on the door, she opens the door. Creak. Apparently, in there, someone she wants to meet was having a guest. Andriano, the person who Carina was aiming at, looked at her. The look on his face was very calm. He wasn’t even angry when his meeting was interrupted by Carina. No conversation. Only through eye contact, Andriano understood Carina needed him.
To the next morning. What happened at the press conference really made headlines. As expected by David. Even directly made into a business magazine cover. Alessio’s statement regarding Mr. Baldovino’s death had nothing to do with the business challenge that David presented. “As expected,” Bruno said to his boss. “Hmm.” David responded with a grunt. “Just look at the responses people give on social media. What are their responses? Is it in accordance with what we expect? He asked. He waited patiently. Watched Bruno and immediately could guess the result from the look on the man’s face. “From what Mr. Geoffredo, judging by the look on his face, I’m pretty sure this has something to do with the death of the previous president of Baldovino group. Especially seeing the response given by his eldest son. I am being curious! Is it true about the rumors that the previous President was killed by his own son? To seize his wealth?” Bruno read one of the trending comments on Twitter. “That
Creak. Carina looked at her son with pitying eyes. “Andriano will help us,” Carina said. Alessio was lying on the bed with a blanket covering up to his chest. Didn’t open his eyes at all. But he heard his mother’s words. His body was completely limp. It’s been even a week since the press conference. All the pressure that Alessio received made him so stressed that he was sick. Diego replaced everything first. All meetings are completely taken over. His business, which usually focuses on 60 percent of illegal business, has now switched to 90 percent of legal business. “He will persuade others to join our company, Alessio. Diego had already spoken to him. You and Diego have talked about this. And they talked about it further.” Alessio pushed himself too hard until his condition actually dropped. “You take it easy. We will win and surprise them.” *** Finally Alessio returned to health, and his mental condition has improved quite a bit. Alessio began to be able to manage it well e
The three of them were in a secret room. The place where all things related to illegal business are carried out. All the files and stuff.Alessio, Diego, and Andriano. Alessio sat in his chair. Meanwhile, Diego took something Andriano needed.“Here, mister. List of our clients. And still our regular customer,” Diego said as he handed me the iPad with the lists.Andriano took and observed one by one.“Their secret is safe with us. That is one of the advantages that we provide to every customer,” Alessio commented. Alessio was curious about what was on Andriano’s mind. But it seems he already guessed it.“Yeah. But in situations like this. We shouldn’t follow the rules too much. Right, Alessio? Diego?” Andriano said while looking at the two young men. His gaze seemed to show something. Sly glance.“What do you mean?” Alessio said.Andriano just smiled. “After I saw your customer list. I’m not surprised at all that people like them buy it.”“Who are you referring to?”“The government,” a
David felt strange about Lily's behavior tonight, who suddenly gave him a big enough gift. Even though the woman knew that it wasn't his birthday, not even their wedding anniversary. But he also still didn't protest much when he got the gift even though he was very surprised."I hope it's not something gross or scary in it. You know I don't like that kind of thing."Lily chuckled but didn't say a word. She just stared at the box and motioned for David to open it immediately. Because David also couldn't hold back his curiosity, he opened the box and immediately saw that there was only one object there. One small object immediately caught her by surprise when he took a closer look at it.A pregnant test pack showing two blue lines. He looked alternately at his wife and at the object, in utter disbelief. A surprise he never expected. His brain immediately turned. It meant that what Lily had called a cold this morning was actually a symptom of pregnancy. And she was only able to tell him
As he had previously imagined, when he announced himself as the new president of the Baldovino Group, a lot of media was highlighting it. Now his name is again a trending topic in the media. Leading two conglomerate companies at the same time is clearly not something easy. There are even many other businessmen who also did not expect that in the end, he would get these two important positions.In almost every way David has to deal with the media which always doesn't want to be left behind about the new innovations that will come to the two big companies.Even when he chose to heal for a while at the mall alone, there were still many journalists who followed him and even interviewed him halfway."How did you first decide to run two companies at once? What about Mr. Baldovino?" asked one of the young female journalists now walking beside him. The young woman did not use the mic at all like journalists in general. She didn't even use his cell phone to record David's voice either. Maybe s
At first, Diego tried to restrain himself. He tries to stay sane. But in the end, he wasn't strong either. He screamed loudly while holding his mother's body. His screams were of course heard from outside. People who happened to be passing by around the apartment immediately stopped and in a few seconds only stared at the apartment without daring to enter it.However, several men who at that time were also doing their morning exercises had the courage to enter the apartment to make sure that there were people who needed help there. Because some of the men entered, in the end, other people also followed, including several teenage girls who were no less curious after hearing the screams.They were so shocked when they saw Diego crying hysterically. Even more surprised when he saw the person Diego was currently sitting on. A woman with a blue face and neck was reddened by rope marks.They just looked at each other for a moment because they were too surprised to see that. But then one of
Even though the police haven't found the perpetrator of her son's murder, Carina is very sure that the culprit is David. Indeed, if you think about it using logic, who else would do this to her son? Since they are now bankrupt and impoverished, surely people who used to be Alessio's business rivals or people who hate Alessio are now very satisfied when they see their situation. There was no longer anything they needed to do to bring Alessio's family down even more.The thing that was on Carina's mind right now was that her son still had a grudge against David after that night. Alessio obviously will not forget when David humiliated them in front of many people, especially in the morning they were humiliated again and kicked out of the Baldovino residence. Carina was absolutely sure that Alessio wanted revenge on David but lost in the end so it ended like this.In two days, she just locked herself in the room and tried to calm herself first before then taking action to avenge her own s
Alessio obviously didn't want to lose because he was the one who started this fight. If he just gave up, he would end up embarrassing himself in the end. He didn't want to be humiliated again. His price is already cheap enough now. He didn't want to be the butt of David again.After a few minutes, they fought in the warehouse, and both of them were covered in blood. Either just use their bare hands or also use some of the tools in the warehouse. David has absolutely no guns. It was a little inconvenient for David. As for Alessio, he has a knife and several sharp objects. Fortunately, David was able to grab the weapon during a fight.The person who excels here in terms of fighting--whether with bare hands or also using weapons-- is David."I know that it's not easy to accept defeat. I know you won't want to lose again here because it will embarrass you for the umpteenth time. But if you still want to live and still think that your life is something precious and must be guarded this tim
Just as they imagined last night, about how many media participated in the party, in the morning hell finally came to Alessio and his family. Like a most accurate hypothesis that probably ninety percent of the people who attended the party also thought. Indeed, who could not guess the circumstances of the morning when what happened that night was very clear?Somehow, it all had to be put into words, but the current state of their mansion was far from desolate. Outside, the media is waiting for information from Alessio and his entire family about the truth about Mr. Baldovino's daughter and two grandchildren who were killed by Alessio. This is certainly big news that will be the center of attention in the next few days. A great and also dark scandal that the media had never sniffed before from the conglomerate.In fact, not only the mansion where Alessio currently lives but David's residence is also filled with several media who are ready to cover and also ask for his statement about l
Before the day of determination that will determine who the winner is. David decided to call Alessio. This time he really wondered what Alessio was feeling knowing that he would lose. He did this solely to repay Alessio's arrogance towards him at that time. This is the time for revenge for belittling his father-in-law."Now, you have absolutely no chance to say those arrogant words," said David when his call was picked up. Video call so that David felt very satisfied when he saw that depressed and annoyed look. David was sure that right now, Alessio was thinking up all kinds of cunning plans to prevent his defeat from happening. But all the cunning plans that Alessio tries to come up with will be completely useless."According to our agreement, Alessio. You will hand over all the treasures that you have taken from Mr. Baldovino."Alessio was silent for a moment hearing that masculine voice from the other side. Sounds very heavy and also intimidating to him.'Shit! How could I lose?! E
David was very satisfied to see his sales traffic this month. Artificial intelligence technology will never be rejected by today's humans. What's more, he is indeed good at seeing opportunities from today's market tastes. He also most often markets his products to generation Z, which is already dependent on technology and artificial intelligence. Technology has become a necessity that will never be rejected by today's young generation. Not only the younger generation actually, but all generations. As long as they have the money to buy the multifunctional robot. Not only helping one job, but bu also helping several other jobs.David was so happy because of this. He even saw several YouTube channels that are now discussing their products. Many of these content creators review every product from their company and even review their shortcomings which can be an important note for David.Obviously, he was no longer the type of person who would get angry when it was mentioned the shortcoming
David began to show the prowess of the robot. All the commands he gave to the robot were carried out properly. His abilities were absolutely perfect like the last time he and his team conducted trials.All the guests who saw the scene were amazed. They even clap. Very loud applause. David and all of his employees feel very happy because they get such a big appreciation.On the day of the launch, everything went well. David can present his product perfectly. It was very surprising because all the guests who came at that time immediately bought the robot he made without blaming it that David set a fantastic price for each unit of the robot. Some even ordered more than one! That's so awesome!“I have to admit that I am impressed by what you are presenting. I am someone who closely follows the news of your business fight with Mr. Alessio Baldovino. As someone whose name is just being known in the business world, you exceeded my expectations," said one of the guests at the product launch e
