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.
To be continued...
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
The day continued to pass until the opening of the game tournament organized by DeLucion Dev this morning. The Game Tournament event was held offline in the Vienna Hall Arena building.The enthusiasm of the people is clearly visible from the situation in front of the Vienna Hall Arena building this morning, many teenagers have gathered to line up to enter the building. All the tickets provided by the committee were also sold out.Everyone also seemed to be wearing a scarf or t-shirt from their respective support teams. In this day and age, games have indeed become a means of community entertainment. Especially for millennial teenagers growing up.The gaming business is now one of the most promising businesses in the world. No wonder many business groups in the state of Vienna are starting to expand into the gaming industry. Even the government is now interested in introducing gaming competitions to the public by helping to organize national gaming competitions.Nate got out of his Lam
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
The opening ceremony of the Game Tournament finally began. The singers began to fill the opening ceremony with their hits. The audience who had been sitting down immediately stood up and cheered the music.The top brass of DeLucion Dev seemed to be in the VIP seats. Xavier, Ira who is Xavier's wife, Damian and Liene. The four of them were there along with Mark's oldest son Jim and his wife Fiona.They all seemed to enjoy the music that was playing. Even Fiona, Ira and Liene captured the moment several times through the lens of their gadgets. But none of them knew that their existence could not be separated from the sharp gaze of Nate, who had mingled in the middle of the audience."I heard you caught that scum, Xav?" 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.
