2023-11-06 21:15:51"One hundred billion US dollars?" said Nate in disbelief. He looked at Peter, wanting to confirm the truth.
"Isn't it impossible that fifty percent of Mr. Lucius' income could be that much in eighteen years?" Nate asked. Meanwhile, Peter just smiled.
"I've always used Lucius' savings to do business. The turnover is very fast and the profit is also large, that's why it can reach so much in eighteen years," Peter replied.
"Business?" muttered Nate as he gave Peter a sharp look.
"He's definitely not a casual person. It would be hard for a businessman to get a million dollars. Let alone a hundred billion dollars," Nate mused.
"Yes. Lucius has done me a great favor, so I'm doing him a favor by investing his money in my business. That money will be yours when you get out of this rotten prison," Peter said as he put the ledger back in his hand.
"I have been looking for your whereabouts for the last few months. It turned out that I was too late, because you were already in this prison, which I really regret. But I was very surprised to see that you can still survive here, the most surprising thing is that you can become one of the respected leaders here," Peter continued.
"I just try my best to survive. My misfortune, poverty and misery since childhood can make me survive here," Nate replied.
"I will get you out of here soon. I hope you can be patient," Peter said as he stood up.
"I'm sorry, sir. But how did you get the helicopter from Lucius' business group? I've never seen you in the ranks of the business group," Nate asked.
"My business is very different from Lucius'. I don't live in the state of Vienna anyway. I live overseas and very far from Vienna. I got the helicopter on business," Peter replied with a smile.
"I see. Thank you for helping me get out of here," Nate said as he shook Peter's hand.
"I hope you don't get confused when you get out of here. Because I won't be helping you after I get out of here. This is my last debt of gratitude to Lucius," Peter said.
"That is more than enough. I already know what I need to do when I get out of here," Nate replied.
Peter left immediately with his heavily armed men. They left the Dark Continent with the helicopter of Lucius' business group. Meanwhile, Nate immediately returned to the field to meet all of his men.
***
It has been a month since Nate met Peter. Now Nate is three weeks out of the world's most dangerous prison. He looked well dressed as he walked down the hallway of a luxury hotel. His appearance was much different than a few months ago, tonight he even wore clear glasses.
The ash-colored suit matched Nate's appearance, who wore a black tie with white stripes. His muscular body and piercing eyes radiated authority. All the hotel employees who passed him even bowed their heads as a sign of respect, sure that Nate was no ordinary person.
"Is Mr. Sean in this room?" asked Nate as he stood in front of the guard standing at the door of the room.
"I'm sorry, sir. What is your name?" the guard asked as he looked at Nate.
"My name is Nate. I have an appointment with Mr. Sean to meet at this hotel," Nate replied with a smile.
"Please come in, Mr. Nate. Mr. Sean is waiting for you in the room," the guard replied politely as he opened the door to the room.
Nate entered the room immediately. Inside the luxurious room, a middle-aged man was sitting on a sofa. Behind him, two bodyguards stood guard. On the table in front of him were expensive wines and several kinds of food.
"Welcome Mr. Nate," the middle-aged man named Sean greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Sean," Nate replied as he shook Sean's hand.
"I didn't realize you were so young," Sean said as he invited Nate to sit down.
"I just happened to be born younger than you," Nate said with a smile.
"That's right, then let's discuss the purpose of our meeting tonight," Sean said as he opened his laptop and took out several files from his bag.
"Go ahead," Nate said as he nodded in understanding. Then he took some of Sean's files and started to read them.
"This is some data on the Delta Business Group. Including data on several companies under it. Meanwhile, this file contains the financial statements of all the companies under the Delta Business Group," Sean explained.
"The contents of the report look very promising. The financial statements look healthy too," Nate said with a smile as he picked up the file.
"But the reality is the opposite of what is written here. The reason Mr. Delta wants to sell his group of companies is because he can no longer handle it all. All the companies under the control of the Delta Group have also gone bankrupt," Nate added with a smile.
"What you said. Mr. Delta wants to sell it because he wants to focus on running a new business group with his other colleagues," Sean argued.
"The Delta business group is just a small business group here in Vienna State. Data analysts and some business information brokers are enough to uncover all the contents of this business group. Some company officials also seem to have defected after realizing the state of the company. Mr. Sean doesn't need to cover it up anymore," Nate said with a smile.
"Mr. Delta must need money to bail out his son who is in and out of jail. It must be hard when his only son can't be counted on to help him with his business," Nate continued.
"You seem to know everything already," Sean said with a deep sigh.
"Of course I do. In this day and age it is not too difficult to gather information, all it takes is money. When you accepted my offer to negotiate the purchase of this group, I was even more convinced that your situation was very difficult," Nate replied.
"If you already know everything, what is the amount of your offer?" asked Sean after a deep sigh.
"One hundred million dollars," Nate replied briefly.
"Isn't that too little, sir? The Delta Business Group has five companies under it. It's probably worth ten billion dollars," Sean offered.
"Sir, you are a good negotiator. But a hundred million dollars is too much for the Delta Business Group right now. Besides, those five companies are just small businesses that have already lost out to competitors, so there's no point in asking for more. Unless you want me to lower my offer," Nate said with a smile.
"I also know that other businessmen have made very low bids for your company," Nate continued, but his words were not finished because they were cut off by Sean.
"Well, we'll take it," Sean quickly cut in before Nate changed his mind.
"You're definitely not going to pass up this opportunity. The other companies are only offering prices under ten million dollars," Nate thought as he saw the look of panic on Sean's face when he heard that Nate was going to lower his offer.
They both shook hands to signify that the deal was done. They would discuss payment, paperwork, and other matters at their next meeting. Nate then excused himself after talking to Sean for a moment about the five companies under the Delta Business Group.
"Sorry sir, I forgot to ask you something," Sean said as Nate turned to leave.
"What is it?" asked Nate as he turned around.
"If you already know everything, why do you still want to buy the Delta Business Group? Even though I'm sure you also know that the competitor that destroyed us is the largest business group in the state of Vienna, the Lucius Business Group," Sean replied, looking sharply at Nate.
"My reason is only one. Because you were destroyed by the Lucius Business Group, that's why I want to help you," Nate replied with a smile and walked out of the room. Sean seemed confused by Nate's answer.
"I want to see how they react when the small business group they destroyed becomes their biggest obstacle," Nate thought with a grin.

Two months had passed since Nate had met Mr. Sean. Tonight, the center of Vienna was very busy with people driving back and forth in their private vehicles. A black luxury Toyota drove through the city streets.The car with the license plate B 137 H was followed by a black Lamborghini with the license plate B 345 T. The driver of the Toyota looked back several times in his rear view mirror. Meanwhile, the beautiful woman sitting in the back seat on the right looked busy with her cell phone."Miss Sicilia, that Lamborghini car is following us," the driver said, looking at Sicilia through the glass on the dashboard."Lamborghini?" said Sicilia as she looked back for a moment. But she couldn't see the driver because the two cars were quite far apart."Do we have to call the police?" the driver asked."No need. After all, the glass and body of this car have been modified to be bulletproof. We will contact the police if the car makes any strange movements. Try not to drive on deserted road

Nate looked up at the night sky from the balcony of his apartment. The streets of Vienna were clearly visible from the fifteenth floor. Nate was leaning against the metal railing. His right hand appeared to be holding a cup of coffee.On the table was a laptop with a screen displaying the profile of Xavier Lucius. Next to the laptop were open files. The contents of the file were corporate records belonging to the Lucius Business Group, which was run by Xavier's family. Next to the file was Nate's iPhone and a box of cigars."They divided up all of his father's companies fairly. I didn't expect these greedy people to get along after his father died. Normally, greedy people like them would fight to get the biggest inheritance," Nate muttered.Soon after, Nate's iPhone rang. It turned out to be a call from an unlisted number. But Nate didn't seem surprised because he could already guess who was calling him."Yes," Nate said as he answered the call."I got the latest financials for the De

Three days have passed since Nate met Sean. Right now Nate is in a big shopping mall in the city of Vienna. He wanted to buy something to give to his cheating ex-wife. But as he was walking around, he suddenly saw a figure he knew well."Vin Lucius?" muttered Nate as he saw a teenage boy holding a teenage girl about his age. They had just come out of a well-known clothing store.Though Vin and his girlfriend were wearing jackets to cover their school uniforms, Nate would not forget because he had often washed the junior high school uniform of Mark and Wien Lucius' youngest son. Nate just grinned and checked his watch."He should still be at school. Kids and parents seem to be the same," Nate muttered as he walked among the passersby. But soon Nate stopped walking again."Turns out he brought his bodyguards here too," Nate thought as he saw three men dressed like other patrons in three different places.Nate knew they were Vin's bodyguards because he had seen their faces. They were usu

Nate casually paid for his purchases at the mall cashier. He glanced around occasionally to make sure Vin's bodyguards weren't following him."We'll help you carry everything out to the parking lot," the mall employee said."No, no. You're just going to have to deliver it directly to my apartment. The trunk of my car won't hold enough," Nate refused with a smile."All right, sir. Then we'll get the address," the salesman said."You can drop the items off at the front desk and they'll bring them to my apartment," Nate said after writing down the address."Very well, sir," the mall clerk replied.Nate immediately left the mall in his Lamborghini. Nate stopped the car at a red light. The iPhone he had placed on the dashboard rang. It said the caller's name was the apartment receptionist."Mr. Nate, we just received a package from a courier for you. It says the contents are microphones. But it doesn't say the address and name of the sender," the apartment receptionist reported."Just acce

Nate smiled as he stared at the screen of his laptop. He wore a pair of headphones that were connected directly to the laptop. Meanwhile, the laptop screen itself displayed an audio spectrum that rose and fell like the sound of a conversation.Nate's right hand is holding a lit cigar and blowing smoke around it. A glass of drink and some snacks were also on his desk. Nate's body leaned back against a chair as he listened to the Lucius family's conversation through the earpiece Nate had placed among the items in the box."No way. Did this all come from that asshole?" Liene asked as she approached her husband."I don't think so either. But his name is on it," Damian replied."How could he send all this from inside the prison?" said Dominic."Maybe there's a rule that prisoners can send gifts from prison," Jim interrupts."But the problem is that all this stuff he's sending is expensive. There's no way a poor prisoner could afford to buy them and send them here," Mark said after checking

"They don't even hesitate to be in an open restaurant like this anymore. They must have a strong and irrefutable reason if someone suspects them," Nate muttered as he continued to watch Wien and Liene eating with the handsome men.Then Nate sat down in one of the empty chairs. A waiter soon came over and asked for his order. While enjoying his meal, Nate's attention seemed to remain focused on Liene and Wien's table.Soon, Liene and the others seemed to have begun arranging their belongings. All the dishes on their table also seemed to have a little left over. Wien seemed to be talking while pointing at two young men. The two young men smiled and nodded their heads.Liene immediately took Vict who helped her to stand up from the chair. Meanwhile, Wien stood up along with the two handsome men she had pointed at earlier. The other three women and three young men were seen holding hands. They all immediately walked to the elevator.Nate stood up quickly and straightened his clothes. Then

Nate smiled at Xavier's look. Xavier's lips seemed to move as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth. His hands suddenly stopped moving as his eyes focused on Nate."I really wanted to say everything in front of you and your wife," Nate said."Impossible, how did you get here?" asked Xavier, finally controlling his shock."How did you get out of the most dangerous prison?" asked Xavier again, standing up and alert."There is only one reason, Xavier. I was innocent and didn't deserve to be there in the first place," Nate replied."What do you want here?" asked Xavier again as his right hand moved to the bottom of his desk as if searching for something."I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I'm still healthy. I was afraid you were worried about me being in prison," Nate replied with a grin."Don't joke around. You think you can get away with this? You'll regret showing your face in front of me," Xavier said as he pressed the emergency button at the

Xavier drove his car fast on the highway. His sharp eyes fixed ahead, he no longer hesitated to run the red light and pass between two adjacent cars."We found his location, confirm if he is indeed our target or not," a man said through the airpod in Xavier's ear."Send the image to my cell phone," Xavier ordered as he pulled out his cell phone."We're sending you a live CCTV feed of where he is. Make sure he's a target or not," the man communicating with Xavier replied."Yes," Xavier replied.Shortly thereafter, a video call came to Xavier's cell phone. When it arrived, it showed a picture of Nate sitting on a bench under a tree. Nate seemed to be enjoying his cigar alone while staring off into the distance. Xavier immediately grinned at the sight."As usual, he was stupid enough to come alone to a meeting with me," Xavier thought."Yes. This is your target. Knock him out or shoot him if he resists, but try not to kill him instantly because I'll finish him off myself!" Xavier said."

Tonight was the eleventh night Ira died. The atmosphere in Xavier's house was quiet. So was the state of Damian's house. Tonight Wien, Liene, Fiona and Sicilia were at Mark's house. Vin and Tedd were there as well. Meanwhile, the area around their residence seemed to be more heavily guarded than before.This was due to the ongoing sabotage against Xavier's company. Mark and Damian began to worry that their competitors would take foul action by mobilizing the Mafia to attack their residence. That's why the situation there is more strictly guarded, there are even two policemen assigned.Meanwhile, Mark, Damian and Jim were at the headquarters of the Lucius Business Group. They were seen talking to William and several other policemen. Meanwhile, Dominic was asked by Damian to represent him at an event being held by the head of the El Hielo business group."This is our report on the sabotage of Mr. Xavier's companies," William said after giving his report."I am not satisfied.

"What's up Jo?" asked Nate as he held his cell phone. His eyes were still on the laptop screen, which was showing a report from the Delta Business Group."I got an update on the Ira case that the police are working on. Luna and Jim managed to get a lot of information out of the police," Jo replied."What's interesting then? Are there any leads on the mastermind who poisoned Ira?" asked Nate."No, sir. One of the interesting things is that the waiter who was suspected of planting the poison admitted that he did it. Even though Ron confirmed that he didn't do it," Jo explained."What?" muttered Nate in disbelief."It's hard to believe, sir. But there's something else that's surprising. The waiter also admitted that he was told to poison you sir. But he didn’t do that because he felt he was being tricked by Xavier. That's why he poisoned Ira," Jo said."Wait a minute. That seems impossible, how can he admit that?" asked Nate while he concentrated on Jo's explanation. He closed his laptop

Nate got out of the car with Wilton and headed to their respective apartments. But Nate's cell phone rang as soon as he was in the elevator leading to the floor where his apartment was located. An unknown number seemed to be making a voice call to him."Good evening, Mr. Nate Evander," a man said after the call was connected."William?" Nate asked to confirm."Yes. This is William Alphons of the police," William replied."What's the occasion, Mr. William?" asked Nate."I understand you just had a meeting with Mr. Xavier Lucius," William replied."That's right," Nate replied, waiting for William to finish so he wouldn't be interrupted."There was an accident with Mr. Lucius' family," William said in bits and pieces, as if trying to trap Nate."Accident? What happened?" asked Nate in mock shock."Mr. Xavier's wife, Ira, died at the Las Menas restaurant. It happened shortly after you left the restaurant. The main cause was poison. Poison was found in Ira Lucius' food and drink," William

"Looks like he didn't send the killers, sir," Wilton said as he drove the car."Yes. He was only going to poison me. It was obvious from the look on his face and what he said," Nate said as he smoked his cigar."What, he was going to poison you, sir?" asked Wilton with a shocked look on his face."Yes. But it was all taken care of. Ron must have thwarted the person who tried to poison me," Nate replied."What a coward! People like that deserve to be killed, sir," Wilton grumbled."I just wanted them to feel what I felt. I never thought of killing him," Nate said."But sir, he was going to kill you. If Ron had failed, you would have lost your life," Wilton argued."But I'm fine now," Nate said with a smile."Huh?" Wilton said in confusion."Whoever does good will reap it, because good deeds lead to other good things coming to you. Have you ever heard that phrase before?" asked Nate."I used to hear it a lot, but I didn't believe it. My life always ended badly," Wilton replied."I belie

"You can also use your money to destroy them," Xavier said with a smile."Five hundred million dollars?" asked Nate with a smile."Yes. Interesting, isn't it?" replied Ira."I'm not interested at all. Do you think your insults, torture and other crimes against me are worth five hundred million dollars?" asked Nate with a grin.Xavier and Ira were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other. Soon their order came to the table. It was delivered by Ron and two other waiters with a cart."Five hundred million is a lot of money, Nate. Don't make us cancel," Xavier said."I don't care if you cancel. Right now you're on the losing side, Xavier. You think I'm going to back out over five hundred million? When just a few steps away all your companies will be destroyed," Nate said."I hope you're not doing anything stupid by trying to record this. I'll know if you are," Nate continued as he saw Ira's hand move to grab her cell phone."I was just calculating the extra money we might be able t

The next day, Nate sat on the balcony of his apartment and enjoyed a cup of coffee. His phone was on the table as he waited to hear from Jo. It wasn't long before his phone rang and Jo's name appeared on the screen."Good morning, sir," Jo greeted."Morning Jo. How about Xavier?" Nate replied."He sent me the location, sir. Las Menas Restaurant, seven pm in the VIP area under the name Xavier Lucius. The time is tonight, but if you're not available, I can convince him to reschedule. I'll let him know later," Jo replied."Las Menas? They chose the most luxurious restaurant in the country," Nate said incredulously."But the security is pretty tight there too, sir. It all depends on you," Jo said."Can you hack into the CCTV cameras there, just in case? I'll send Ron to infiltrate there to prepare for tonight's meeting and anticipate the worst," Nate asked."I can do that, sir. Although I may have to enlist the help of other hackers to back me up.

The police also revealed that the bodies in the plantation were those of the mafia fighting over territory.They deliberately left the bodies there because they didn't have much time, as the police were already on their way. The police went there deliberately after they realized that there were irregularities in the CCTV in the plantation area."It seems that TVL is broadcasting the same thing. No one dares to highlight the progress of the DeLucion Dev case," Nate said as he turned off the TV in his living room.Nate was staring at his laptop screen, checking on the progress of the new Delta Snack product that was scheduled to go into mass production next week. Progress seemed to be going well.
