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.
Nate walked across the basement floor with a satisfied grin on his face. Behind him were Jo and Ron who had packed their things. The three of them walked leisurely while the building's security guards were busy looking for them."You can go back to your homes," Nate said after they reached his car."Yes, Mr. Nate!" Jo and Ron replied simultaneously."Tell the other members of Dark Crimson. Our war is about to begin, they need to be ready if I need them," Nate said as he got into his Lamborghini."I'll pass your message on to the others," Jo replied as he closed Nate's car door."And remember one more thing," Nate said as he stared intently at Jo and Ron from inside the car."What, sir?" asked Ron."You all do no evil. Your fate is in my hands, whenever and wherever you are. I can send you back to the Dark Continent!" said Nate as he closed the windshield."Yes sir!" Ron and Jo replied as they bowed.Nate's car immediately drove quickly out of the building's parking lot. Meanwhile, Jo
Two days had passed since Nate had blown it at the tournament's opening ceremony. Now, he was in a house, watching the live stream of the tournament on his laptop. The Knight Hunter team sponsored by his company had won full points on the first day of the tournament."They must be confused because their tournament has become the Delta Group's most attractive advertising venue," Nate muttered while smoking his cigar."They've arrived, sir," said a man who appeared from behind the door of another room."It took them so long to get here, I wanted to relax in my own home as soon as possible," Nate said as he stood up."You just hide somewhere safe. Make sure no one makes any noise while I entertain our guests," Nate continued as he put on his jacket."Yes, sir," the man who had approached Nate said.The man immediately went into the room he had been in and closed the door tightly. Meanwhile, Nate immediately went to the living room and opened the door from the inside. Outside his house we
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. It's imposs
"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 Alphons' business group is just as ti
Days have passed since DeLucion Dev was declared bankrupt. Now, the company's premises have been sealed because of a dispute over the land. DeLucion Dev's bankruptcy also affected Xavier's other businesses.DeLuclean Soap, which makes soaps, shampoos, detergents, and dishwashers, is also in trouble. Several companies sued Xavier for alleged monopolization, sabotage, and other issues.The problem also spread to the DeLuxurius Dealer company, which focused on buying and selling vehicles. Xavier's company focused on selling electronic goods, DeLutron Tech, was also affected. All the stock prices of Xavier's companies suddenly dropped. Revenues are also down due to the many problems that are occurring in the market.Tonight, all members of the Lucius family held an important meeting with several directors of companies under Damian and Xavier. Only Mark's company did not send a director because their company's situation was very stable.In the meeting room in Mark's house, twenty-one high-
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
