“Yeah. I’ve heard about it, boss. The news spread is so fast.” Bruno and David were having a brief meeting. They rarely interact directly like this because they are both really busy with their respective tasks assigned by their respective bosses.“It is weird because a few days ago, I met with Arsen. Arsen introduced me to the man. And now, that guy named Lanzo wants to work with Alessio.”“Hmm.”“I will meet him to talk about this. Why give Alessio power like that? I don’t like it.”***David came to Arsen’s company at Arsen’s request because the man said he was very busy.“Mr. David,” Elio called out to him.“Come on, sir. Mr. Cedro has been waiting for you for a long time,” he said.“Didn’t he say he was very busy?” he asked.Elio smiled. “There is no word busy for Mr. Arsen when it comes to you, sir,” he replied with a meaningful smile.David just snorted. “Oh, I forgot. He’s my biggest fan,” said David with his trademark witty smile.“Haha, you are absolutely right. Oh, yes. By t
Arsen stole glances at the father-son interaction with a faint smile he tried to hide. Yesterday, David asked him to meet. He said he had something very important to talk about. David didn’t talk about what was essential, but Arsen already knew what David wanted. This must be about Lanzo suddenly asking Alessio to cooperate.Well, even Arsen was surprised when Lanzo told him that. Arsen must have told him everything he knew about David. And that Alessio is David’s main enemy. Of course, David would not like it when a very powerful party joined his enemy. That’s why David came here to ask for an explanation.Arsen purposely invited Lanzo here, too. Lanzo was overjoyed when he told the man that David was coming. All the preparations for this very special lunch, Lanzo was the one who prepared it. Deliberately hired a famous chef to make this dish. Special for David.‘That Lanzo. He really showed that he would give everything to David. After years of being a bastard who disowned his son,
“Nothing serious, kid. You don’t need to worry. I have heard your story from Arsen.”David immediately glared at Arsen. The one who was glared at just shrugged his shoulders.“He can keep secrets well,” Arsen said lightly.“I have absolutely no intention of getting into the game you guys are making,” Lanzo continued.David still couldn’t believe this man.‘There is no way he was just a whim. I’m pretty sure this guy really has other intentions. But it sure isn’t easy to find out what his real motives are. Asking Arsen would be very futile. And it seems this old man was very stubborn and firm in his previous stance.’“I don’t want to talk too much about you since I know that it’s just a waste of my time,” said David.Lanzo just listened. He wanted to hear all the words of his son. “But as I said to you. Don’t play games with me. You’re a great man. But I’m a cunning man,” he said in a warning tone. The two stared at each other intently.He stood up. Even though he was hungry before and
“It’s been a long time,” he said suddenly.“More than a year, sir,” replied Bruno.“I miss everything. Everyone.”“We will meet them soon, master. They will miss you as well.”Don’t know what kind of thing Carina did that made his master obey her so much. Like a doll that can be controlled easily.***“WHAT?! Why are you telling me now?! Where are they?!” Carina’s face turned red quickly. She looked at his subordinate with a sharp gaze.“They are on their way out, madam.”SLAP!One hard slap.“Anyone give chase to stop them?” asked Carina again, trying to hold back her anger, but when she heard the answer from her subordinate, Carina couldn’t hold it in anymore.SLAP! SLAP!Two hard slaps she gave to the man in front of her.“STUPID! Do everything to stop them! I’ve been trying to keep my husband from leaving his room and you guys—”“ARRRGHH! FAST!”“Yes, madam!” All the bodyguards under Carina’s lead immediately rushed forward to stop Bruno and their master. While Carina entered the
“Isn’t he a bodyguard in our mansion?” asked Mr. Baldovino to Bruno.“Yes, sir. He is a bodyguard in your mansion.”Master Baldovino had seen the face of this friend of Bruno several times. He rarely remembered a bodyguard’s face if he wasn’t too close to the person. Or someone he really trusts, just an example like Bruno. But this one bodyguard has an above-average face. So, it’s easy to remember his face.“Under whose leadership?” asked him again.Bruno and David looked at each other. That look meant something.“Under my leadership, master.”It would be very stealthy if they told Mr. Baldovino that David had actually been on Alessio’s leadership. Surely there will be many questions that the master will give. So, Bruno prefers to answer that.“You have a very luxurious apartment unit. You pay him very well, hm?”Ah, that’s right. Actually, this apartment gift from Alessio was too luxurious only for David, who incidentally worked as a bodyguard.“He has another hobby that brings him a
“Where is he?” asked Mr. Baldovino to Bruno. They are having breakfast now. Bruno made his master breakfast. The breakfast his master used to eat when he was sick like this. All the dishes he makes are very healthy for consumption.“Javer is on business, master. So he left.”Ting!Bruno saw the message given by David.‘Ah, we guessed right. There must be a lot of people in the mansion.’ He put his phone back in. Bruno didn’t know what his master’s request is today. But if his master wants to leave, Bruno will hold him back as best he can.“Master. Do you want to go back to the mansion?” asked Bruno carefully.Mr. Baldovino looked at his confidant. “At the mansion. What happened?”“Very mess situation, master.”Mr. Baldovino himself had expected such a thing to happen. “Give me a report.”Bruno nodded his head. He also actually got the news from his confidants. Bruno explained to his master.“Bruno, do you want to know why I want to leave?”Bruno was very surprised to hear his master a
“He was in trouble back then, and I helped him. As a thank you, he was bringing me to a café, and we talked randomly. Nothing special happened, sir. And I didn’t know that he is Sir Geoffredo that you talked about.” David gave reasons that he thought made sense.Alessio was still staring at him intensely. “You sure?” he asked.David nodded his head. “I am very sure, sir.”Alessio nodded his head. “.As I said, he seems very likes you. You got the great first impression I guest.”“I don’t know, sir.”“We can take advantage of this, Javer. Don’t you see a great opportunity for that?” asked Alessio.David frowned. “I don’t understand, sir. Can you explain to me?” David pleased.Alessio gave David a thin smile. “I’ll explain to you in detail. It turns out that my decision to make you my right-hand man was the right decision. You’re such a lucky stone for me, Javer. We got some unexpected partners after I hired you. Well, I have to thank Bruno for bringing you.”David glanced at Alessio bri
David didn’t know how to respond. He glanced at Bruno, who looked helplessly beside his father-in-law. And there is one more person who David doesn’t know who he is.“Master? I don’t understand what you’re saying. And who is David? I don’t know him at all.”David raised his hands. In fact, he could have also pointed a gun at his father-in-law. This is a very easy situation. The speed of his hands is not to be doubted. But he respected his father-in-law so much that all he was doing now was kneeling with his hands up. Surrendered before his father-in-law, who looked at him angrily. The fire of anger was clear in his gaze.“Don’t play dumb. You clearly know what you did wrong. Where have you been all this time, huh? After successfully killing my daughter and my grandchildren. You just disappeared like a coward! Abandon your responsibilities! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS SUFFERING, HUH?!”David clenched his fists. All the grudges were still on his father.“Successfully took all my treasures. I
