Bruno cleared his throat. “Sir,” he greeted first, to which the man in front of him nodded in response. A boss from one of the biggest automotive companies really respects Bruno as Baldovino’s right-hand man. Well, he had known Baldovino from a dozen years ago and knew that the man was a very feared mafia leader until he finally fell ill. It was the secret information he knew. Baldovino’s illness was indeed very secret because it could indeed be quite dangerous for the Baldovino family itself.But apart from his own Baldovino, the thing he liked about the man was his son-in-law. David. He really liked David and respected the young man before he disappeared into nowhere. Ah, it’s been a long time since their last conversation.“And who is this handsome guy?” ask him to Bruno.David looked at the man in front of him. He stretched out his hand. “Javer, sir. Or you used to call me Young Man David.”Arsen Cedro stared in shock. His pupils widened in disbelief at what he had just heard.‘Th
David came to Alessio’s place because the man called him to come. Now David was outside the man’s secret room. David knocked on the door.Creak.Alessio looks at his watch. A grin created there. “You’re in time,” he said.David said nothing. He comes inside the sit on the sofa. While his eyes focus on Alessio, who is focused on his laptop. David didn’t know what the man was playing. But he looks so happy to see his laptop.“You look so thrilled, sir.” Finally, David started the conversation.“Is there something happening?” he continued.Alessio shifted his gaze to his new right-hand man. He gave David a smirk.“I just got a report that a conglomerate bought slaves in large quantities. It’s so interesting,” Alessio said.‘Ah, so he has heard about it. The information spread so fast.’“A conglomerate?”“Hm,” Alessio responded with a curt mumble.“Look at you email. I just sent you one,” Alessio said.David immediately checked his email. It is proof of the transaction between Arsen and A
Arsen shook Alessio’s hand back. “Sir Young Baldovino. It is such an honor to meet you,” Arsen said. Alessio smiled faintly upon hearing that.“In fact, I should be honored to meet such a great businessman as you, Mr. Cedro.” Arsen just gives him a polite smile as a response.“Please have a seat, sir.”Arsen sits on a single sofa. Alessio really provides comfortable and best facilities for this special guest.“And who is he?” asked Arsen with a fake confused face, looking at David. Alessio’s gaze turned to David.“Ah. This is my right-hand man. Javer. He is the one I will trust to lead the business in this place. That is why I asked him to accompany me. I will let him know how to welcome a special guest, so he will get used to it,” said Alessio.Arsen was quite surprised that David didn’t talk about this. But he can control his emotions very well. Alessio suspected nothing at all.Arsen just nodded his head. “I came here to see my slaves that I bought. Where are they? I just want to m
David’s gaze shifted to the girl. It made her fear clearer because David could see her hands shaking violently.“Come on, sweety. I won’t hurt you,” said Arsen to the girl in a flirty tone.Alessio also looked at the slave he had sold. He looked at the girl sharply. Feeling annoyed that the girl was silent. Alessio didn’t want to disappoint his special guest because the girl didn’t want to obey. He stood up. His face still looks calm. There was no hint of anger on his face at all. Of course, he is used to the behavior of the slaves he sells who are afraid and don’t want to obey, just like what is happening right now.Step. Step. Step.Everyone stared at Alessio. The man walked like a predator about to prey on its prey. Silent but very deadly. The aura he gave off was so dark. Now he was right next to the girl. His body bent so that his lips were directly facing the girl’s ear.“Didn’t I already say it? Don’t make me repeat what I said, sweet girl. Your sister. Your sick sister, I will
Arsen kept walking until he realized that the girl beside him kept her head down. Then Arsen stopped his step, and the girl also stopped. Even now, the girl still didn’t dare to look him in the eyes. Arsen noticed that this girl’s hand was still shaking.‘Ah, I forgot something.’“Hey, little girl,” he called.“Don’t keep your head down like that. Don’t be afraid, come with me to the car. I’ll explain there. I didn’t mean anything bad to you,” he said.The girl looked at him in disbelief. “Come on. Follow and just Trust me. I won’t rape you if that’s what you’re worried about,” said Arsen. He spoke slowly. Worried that maybe someone heard what he said and reported it to Alessio, then Alessio could be suspicious of him. This was David’s plan. He couldn’t mess it up in the slightest.Arsen looked back. Nobody followed. “Let’s go,” he said. Then resumed walking. The girl followed behind. Although she was still suspicious and confused about what this man meant to her.Now they are in the
David looked at the building in front of him. He knew where Arsen Cedro lived. So he is no stranger to this luxurious building.“Here, sir,” said the driver. David turned his head to face the driver and nodded his head.“Hmm. Wait here.” Then David came down. Down there, there were already two security guards approaching their truck and staring at it fiercely.‘Apparently, Arsen forgot to tell the securities at his house that we were coming. Stupid.’ If Arsen had said it, it would be impossible for these two security guards to look at him with fierce eyes.“Who are you? And What’s the load on this truck? For what purpose did you come here?” one of them asked in a fierce voice.David looked at the security guard. “Come here, I’ll tell you something. But it’s a secret. You can only peek a little,” said David.“What do you mean?” asked the security guard did not understand. From his gestures, David could tell that they were on alert.“Your boss, Sir Arsen Cedro... come here, let me whisp
David gave him a smile. “No need to do that, Elio,” said David kindly. He tapped the man’s shoulder lightly.“You still look the same as the last time I saw you,” David said.Elio smiled faintly at that. He realized the difference in David. Something more positive.‘He’s not as arrogant as he used to be. It turns out that this is what sir Arsen meant.’“You look more handsome, sir.” Elio’s response made David chuckle.“Very successful plastic surgery, isn’t it?” he asked jokingly. Elio just chuckled in response.“Come, Mr David. Sir Arsen said he would be here in an hour. He had some business to attend to.”“An hour? What’s he doing?” David asked, curiously.“Mr. Arsen said he would buy an apartment for the girl he bought.”David was a little surprised. He didn’t think Arsen would do that. “Oh, alright then.”David was in the living room now, waiting for Arsen to come back from his business. David was playing on his cell phone. Of course, he must not forget to inform Alessio that he w
Arsen looked at the girl with pity, who was now sitting beside the hospital bed while gently holding the arm of her little sister, who was sleeping unconscious. He had just taken care of a few things before finally coming back here.‘Unfortunately. Her parents were bad, she was sold to a bad person, and now she has to see her little sister seriously ill. What other bad things will happen to this poor little girl? Surely this girl has a strong heart to be able to pass all those terrible tests.’ Arsen, who has been accustomed to living in luxury since he was a child without such a problem, feels very sorry for her. That’s why he did this.Buying this girl a place to live was not a difficult thing for Arsen. His immense wealth made him unhesitatingly help the girl he didn’t even know. It’s just about the humanity in him.“Little girl,” Arsen called.The girl looked at the man in his fifties with swollen eyes. She had been crying since this man left her to take care of something.
