"Whatever this might be, we need to start from the root, and that will be Mrs. B. Let's pay her a visit tomorrow," Damian said at last.

"When you say 'we,' do you mean both of us?" Roberto asked with a nervous smile.

Damian placed his hand on his waist. "Who else would it be?"

"Oh…"

"Or you can just stay back. Mrs. B wouldn't feel comfortable seeing both of us if she's going to tell me anything. You can leave now, Elena," Damian said and headed back into his room.

"This is tiring," Roberto cried.

"He is intent on making them pay. Let's do our best to help him so we can all go back home," Elena feigned a smile and left, leaving a tired Roberto.

"Wait for me here," Damian told Roberto as the limousine parked a short distance away from Mrs. B's tea shop. He stepped out, took a deep breath, and walked toward the shop with mixed feelings. It was empty again, he thought with caution as he entered. Not only that, the bell didn't manage to divert her attention, failing to notify

    As Damian prepared to say something, his phone rang. Annoyed by the interruption, he excused himself and reluctantly answered. “Elena, this isn’t...”“I found something crucial about Enzo Lombardi,” Elena said excitedly, unaware she had cut off her boss.Damian turned to look at the woman and Roberto, who was attempting to engage her in conversation. He considered dismissing her but decided against it.“What is it?”“Enzo Lombardi sold his shares and withdrew from Kings Distribution.”“What? Out of the blue?” Damian inquired.“Yes, and to top it off, I discovered he was the owner of Neo Finance before it was sold to Kings Distribution,” she explained."Damn. Enzo Lombardi is definitely our lead if we're going to make progress in this case. Come over to the hotel; it's time to rethink our strategy," he said, then hung up. He forced a smile and returned to where the woman and Roberto were."Um... I apologize for...""Just go away. The sight of you all makes me sick!" she spat, then turn

    "Are you sure you want to do this? This is a dangerous mission," Roberto fidgeted as he trailed behind Damian, who walked with long, quick strides down the hotel hallway. Staff members bowed to Damian whenever he passed by."Don't try to talk me out of this, Roberto. I need to be there in case something goes wrong," Damian said as he walked into the elevator. Roberto sighed, watching him."Aren't you coming?" Roberto raised a brow at the older man, who grudgingly entered."I feel like I'm talking to a wall," Roberto mumbled, his defeated tone amusing Damian.Damian stifled a smile and maintained a serious expression. Roberto's selfless concern was something Damian appreciated, even though he was determined to accompany Elena on the mission."Elena?" Damian turned to Roberto, who seemed lost in thought."She's at the bar, on standby."Damian nodded."Are you sure you want to do this?" Roberto suddenly asked, breaking the silence. "What if someone recognizes you? You're supposed to stay

    Elena turned to face Paulo with a forced smile. "Sir, I don't think that's proper. I'm just a waitress, and I've done my job," she said politely, as the smile on Paulo's face quickly faded."What the hell is this bitch saying? Is she trying to lecture me?" he fired angrily, while Enzo narrowed his gaze at the waitress's head, as if telling her to do her job."I'm so sorry, sir. Elena can sometimes be stiff and overly straightforward. She was shocked when a man of your caliber asked her such a favor," she explained nervously, but none of them were fools. Everyone in the room clearly understood what was going on."Alright then," Paulo said, his eyes fixed on Elena, whose smiling face had turned to a stern glare. "I'd forgive her if she does what she is told." Paulo's eyes glittered as he watched Elena put up a front, as if he already knew who had the upper hand."That bastard. Like father, like son. He's really the true father of that jerk, Carlos," Roberto muttered, still disturbed tha

    "The one that embezzled…" Enzo began speaking again. Wow, he remembered him, but for a crime he didn't commit. He had thought no one would remember that. He was wrong... completely wrong."Does that matter to you?" Damian asked, forcing a smile."Ugh?" Enzo's brow creased in confusion."My identity," Damian continued. "What matters is that we want the same thing." Damian watched his expression for any sign of interest. "Revenge. Lucian's downfall." Damian's lips curved into a smile as he thought about it.Enzo gave him a suspicious gaze. "How do you know I want that?"Damian chuckled, striding towards him. He stopped inches in front of Enzo and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Inviting Paulo over and Alberto... We both know that dining with the enemy's enemy means nothing good," Damian said, completing his thought as Enzo watched him carefully.Damian removed his hand from Enzo's shoulder and reached into his pants, pulling out a bottle of scotch from the table. He poured himself a dri

    "You hypocrite! No need to pretend. 'Here I am, kill me, Lucian!' Paulo said in rage as Lucian smacked his lips together and nodded to Marcello. Marcello understood the gesture, picking Paulo up and placing him over his shoulder, then carrying him outside while Paulo continued shouting and kicking his legs in the air. 'What's that about?' Ravenna's voice interrupted his thoughts as he spun around to see his daughter standing in the middle of the stairs. 'Ravenna…' Lucian breathed in relief. Since the failed wedding, she had secluded herself, not eating or seeing anyone. 'Were you guys talking about Damian? What trick do you plan to play this time?' She asked, eyeing her father despite his soft gaze. 'You always think the worst of me,' Lucian swallowed, attempting to hide his disappointment. 'It's your fault,' she said, descending the stairs to meet him. 'What are you planning?' She locked eyes with him. Lucian gazed at her, then looked away. 'Nothing,' he replied. 'Even though you did

    Damian’s phone rang, interrupting his conversation abruptly. “Excuse me,” Damian said as Mrs. B nodded while wiping away her tears. Damian walked away, answering the unknown number. “Who…”“Let’s meet,” Enzo's cold voice pierced through the phone.Damian raised his brow in recognition, but he wouldn't let Enzo call the shots. "I decide when we meet, Enzo. I need us to be on the same page," Damian replied slowly, emphasizing each word.He sensed Enzo's muttered curse, but Damian didn't care. Clearly, this arrangement wasn't sitting well with Enzo."You're just a nobody! What gives you the right to call the shots?!" Enzo seethed, while Damian chuckled lightly."A 'nobody,' yet you chose to partner with one to take down your biggest adversary?" Damian mockingly retorted, as Lucian remained silent. "You're worse than me, Enzo. Utterly helpless," Damian's stern voice carried anger—anger at Enzo for subjecting people to their current ordeal.After hearing Mrs. B's account of Kings Distribut

    Damian stared at him for a while, then burst into sudden laughter, leaving Enzo surprised as he watched him. “I knew your dumb self was not to be trusted,” Damian said, stopping his laughter and looking serious.Enzo brought out another pistol from his suit pocket and pointed it at Damian, angry that he was being taken for granted. “How dare you,” Enzo gritted through his teeth.The smile on Damian's face faded as he regarded him seriously. “Pull that trigger, and you will never get to see your grandma again.” Enzo's brow creased in confusion. “What the...”His phone rang, interrupting him. He looked down at his pants where his phone was and then back at Damian. “I would advise you to pick that... an innocent person might die.” Damian's eyes regarded him playfully as he smirked, enjoying the helpless look on Enzo’s face as he picked it up hastily.“Mr. Lombardi…” The caregiver he employed to take care of his grandma's voice came through shakily.“Mrs. Marie…” Enzo’s eyes widened in sh

    "I-I-," Enzo stuttered, hesitating, hinting to Damian that he was about to disclose something important."I'm listening," Damian said as Enzo shuddered in fear."Because of my grandma," he said quickly."How?""Originally, I was a common mafia member that led a small gang when Lucian found me. He made me the head of Neo Finance. I was in charge of giving out loans and taking care of them and—""When you say 'taking care of them,' you mean killing them when they threaten to expose your evil deeds to the public?"Enzo nodded as Damian sighed. Lucian wasn't just bad; he was the devil himself."If all of this has been happening all this time, why did the issue start to escalate recently?" Dani probed."Because I decided to stop doing his dirty work. A victim of mine turned out to be my grandma's close friend. Her death shook her so much that she had a heart attack. She hasn't been well since then," Enzo said, and Damian stared at him for a while."Fine," Damian said and stood up, heading

Damian asked with a raised brow."The Tigers," Damian said in a grim tone. "They've been all over the city, looking for you, dear uncle," he said, folding his arms."You…" Valentine tried to steady his shaky hands as beads of sweat formed on his forehead."Don't," Damian interrupted. "It's just five minutes," he said again. "Are you sure you want to waste your precious time battling words with me, or is saving your life more important?""How would you know who The Tigers are? You bastard!" Valentine exclaimed."Hmmm… let me think. I did a small background research on you in the past, which didn't give me much result.

Leonardo was stunned for a second, but his survival instinct kicked in instantly.At this point, Valentine was very dangerous, and getting out of this house should be his main priority.“What did you hear?” Valentine asked, cutting into Leonardo’s thoughts, who forced a smile.“You are mistaken, Valentine,” Leonardo began, shaking his head.“I came here to talk,” he said again as both men's gazes remained intent on each other.“You a

Her laughing was out of spite.It didn’t take another second when the sound of the police siren filled the whole place as Ravenna made to turn around to look back, but stopped, probably because of her pride.She turned to look at Amiri, her eyes bloodshot with rage while Amiri stared at her lazily.“You shouldn’t be outside here, Ravenna. Living with normal people.” Amiri said as the sound of the policemen steps coming towards them increased to show how close they were.“You are dangerous to humanity.” Amiri completed as Ravenna scoffed. “And you call yourself a saint by doing this one thing?” She asked with an angry look.“You are bloody criminal, you bastard!” She shrieked angrily as the police finally got to them.“I am inspector Morales and you are under arrest for the…..”The words trailed off in Ravenna’s head as she stared angrily at Amiri, and as her ey

    Amiri wasn’t sure of what to say. He just stared blankly at her.“What did you do to Paulo?” He could only manage to ask as Ravenna gave him a scrutinizing look as if that would determine if she would tell him anything or not.“You should ask what I would do to him if you don’t comply to my commands right now.” She said as Amiri’s fist clenched.“You still look as if I am lying to you.” She said with a pout. “You still think I don’t have Amiri, ugh?” She raised a brow and tuttered.“Foolish.” She snorted. “Swerville Day school. Finish his lessons by 12 noon.

But Amiri knew better. “Stop playing the victim’s game. You’re in front of the man you killed.

    “I can’t believe this.” Amiri staggered back, unconsciously locating a sofa behind him and sitting down. His hand slowly moved to hold his face, the news making his whole body shudder, hating how foolish he looked.“It’s okay if you feel embarrassed,” Damian said nonchalantly as Amiri raised his head to look at him in an uneasy manner.“Sorry,” he feigned a smile. “I didn’t mean it that way,” he added as Amiri sighed, smacking his lips together, looking away to avoid revealing how disgruntled he felt to Damian.“So?”Amiri raised his head to look at him. “What? You want me to pay back?” He asked as Damian watched him with an amused look.“What?” Amiri asked, his apprehension growing by the minute. He always portrayed himself to everyone as this strong-hearted person, deeply revered in the underground world. But this man knew how to effortlessly get to him, making some part of his life seem to almost revolve around him.“You must think so lowly of me,” Damian said with a soothing tone,
