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 roads," Sicilia replied calmly, staring at her phone again.

"Yes, Miss Sicilia," the driver replied.

Sicilia's car finally stopped at a red light. But this time, the black Lamborghini behind her car immediately moved forward. Sicilia reflexively looked to the right side of the windshield to see which car was following her. The Lamborghini's left front windshield was halfway down.

Sicilia's eyes widened in shock as she saw the driver sitting in the front seat of the car. He appeared to be Nate Evander, wearing clear glasses. Nate, meanwhile, just grinned as he saw his ex-wife in shock.

"Nate?" muttered Sicilia.

The situation only lasted a moment, however, as Nate's car had moved parallel to her. The windshield of the car Nate was driving was also completely closed. Sicilia's driver, hearing Sicilia's muttering, was immediately surprised and turned around.

"What's the matter, miss?" Sicilia's driver asked.

"It can't be. He must be rotting in prison, I must be looking at him wrong," Sicilia said, ignoring her driver's question.

The light turned green. Nate immediately pulled his car in front of Sicilia's stationary car. Nate took off his glasses with a happy look on his face.

"Say hello again, Sicilia," Nate said as he stepped on the gas.

Nate's luxury car sped through the city streets. The towering skyscrapers seemed to light up the night. Nate's iPhone suddenly buzzed as he drove. He grabbed his AirPods from the dashboard.

"What's up, Mr. Sean?" Nate asked after the call connected.

"Mr. Nate, we have finished testing the snack recipe you sent us. Delta Snack Company will be ready to mass produce it in the next two weeks," Sean reported.

"That's good news. Have the people on the list been fired?" asked Nate.

"They did, sir. Mr. Joseph Delta fired them himself. We are also in the process of fulfilling your request to select their replacements from the best potential employees," Sean replied.

"That's good. Just do as I tell you, and the Delta Business Group will soon recover from its slump. After all, I am the former director of the Lucius Business Group. I know their strengths and weaknesses," Nate said.

"What about Mr. Delta's son?" Nate asked.

"As the Master's request, he was indeed released by Mr. Delta. But he has been kept away from anything related to his father's business group. Don't we need to tell him that the Delta Business Group is no longer his father's?" Sean replied.

"There is no need. Only you two know. I'll keep things moving behind the scenes," Nate said.

"I understand, sir," Sean said before ending the call.

"Who should I give a lesson in the bitterness of life to first? Damian Lucius' family should be my last meal," Nate muttered with a grin.

"Maybe Xavier Lucius' family, he's the youngest of Mr. Lucius' sons. He should be the first target," Nate said as he turned on the music.

Nate's car continued through the streets of Vienna. The city's most luxurious apartment building was faintly visible in the distance. Nate's car drove in that direction before the figure of his car became invisible due to the speed at which he was driving.

***

Meanwhile, Sicilia continued to think all the way to her house. She still couldn't believe that she had seen Nate. Although her brain denied that it was impossible for Nate to be outside the prison. But her heart was certain that he was indeed Nate Evander.

"Miss shouldn't think too deeply about this. There must be a lot of people in this world who look like that trash," Sicilia's driver comforted her.

"Besides, it's impossible for him to be out of prison and own a luxury Lamborghini. That makes no sense, lady," Sicilia's driver continued.

"No, Ben. We don't know what's happened to him in the last eight months. He could have broken out of prison with other criminals," Sicilia argued as she stared at her iPhone screen.

"The Dark Continent prison is very well guarded. All the most dangerous criminals from all over the world congregate there. It's impossible for him to survive there, let alone escape. It's impossible, miss," Ben said with a laugh.

But Sicilia didn't answer anymore and decided to call Dominic, who was now officially her husband.

"Honey, are you still at the office with Dad?" Sicilia asked.

"Yes. We'll probably be home in two hours," Dominic replied.

"Are you okay?" asked Dominic in a worried tone.

"I'm fine. I just want to tell you and Dad something," Sicilia replied.

"Okay. You can tell me everything when you get home. Right now I have an impromptu meeting with the DeLucius Snack Company officials," Dominic said hurriedly.

"What's with the impromptu meeting? No one told me about it back at the office," Sicilia asked.

"We just got some important information from a spy in the Delta Snack company. He told us about a competitor's move that we weren't expecting. That's why my father asked for an impromptu meeting to hear the explanation from our spy," Dominic explained.

"Isn't the Delta Group already on the verge of bankruptcy? Why do we have to worry about that?" asked Sicilia, furrowing her brow.

"That's the problem. Some of our spies who had high positions in their company have been fired. The most suspicious thing is that they've started paying back their debts," Dominic replied.

"Impossible. Uncle Mark has already confirmed that they will be bankrupt and ruined within the next three months. The bank shouldn't want to lend them any more money," Sicilia said with a shocked look on her face.

    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.

    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

Damian whispered to Xavier."Yes. Security is watching him in the basement right now," Xavier replied with a broad smile."Are you serious that he's real?" asked Damian incredulously."Yes. He said so himself. His haircut has changed a lot, but his face is still the same.

    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

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.

    A week has passed since the assassination. News of the battle between the Mafia is now trending on the Internet. 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. Although there had been a report from Sean about the attempted sabotage of the DeLucius Snack.However, the attempt was thwarted due to increased security around the plant. Damian ev
