“Deals.” Alessio shook hands with his new legal investor. They have signed the contract.

“Glad to work with you. I am sure that working with you will bring a lot of benefits,” said the new investor with a friendly expression.

“As I have said. I will give my best for you gentlemen. I won’t dare to disappoint you,” Alessio said confidently.

“Before, I worked with Javer Geoffredo. Initially, I was very satisfied with his work. I have to admit his greatness to make me believe in the potential of his company. But seeing what happened between you two. What’s more, the mayor, governor, even the president supporting you make me doubtful,” he said suddenly.

But Alessio didn’t mind at all. He loves hearing things like this. The people doubting David and speaking ill of his enemy sounded like wedding bells. It sounds so beautiful, people say.

“I was very surprised, too. Not badmouthing him. But as you know, gentlemen. His name has just been heard among us businessmen who have been in the world f

A man who made her quite stunned.‘Did he call me?’ Carina asked herself to be sure.“You called me, sir?” asked Carina politely. Her gentle voice brought a smile to his face.“I like your voice, madam.

It's the same with Lanzo.Lanzo nodded his head. “Damn it! Lanzo! Didn't your family destroy all those shit? How is it possible now that the news can resurface to the surface again now? Who is the mastermind behind this?!”"Of course, Alessio and his family, right?" from behind, there were David, Lily, and Mr. Baldovino.“Son—”"It's okay," David said hastily.

Even tens of years ago, you were seen having an illicit relationship with a prostitute and you did sexual intercourse which made the prostitute pregnant. Is that true?”"I asked you back. What solid evidence can prove that the rumors are true?”Everyone fell silent.“Sorry, but a headline in the newspaper that was published by the number 1 print media in Italy at that time, they can't just spread fake news without any truth. In the main content of the news, write down the words of the nightclub visitors you visited where the prostitute worked,” said another journalist.

You're so selfish, you know?!” Arsen couldn't contain his anger.Because the emotions of the two men were unstable, both of them got carried away.“Selfish you say?! I'm not thinking just about myself! But other people's! What selfish do you mean?! And Remember! This kind of problem wouldn't exist if Lanzo didn't impregnate a prostitute! Why are you blaming the blame on me, huh?!”Arsen immediately rose from his seat. He grabbed David by the collar and forced him to stand up.

    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.

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.

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.

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.
