"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
"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
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
"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
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
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."
"Are you blind? Look at the dust!" snapped the middle-aged woman named Liene. Her index finger seemed to point to a corner of the house wall. In front of her, a young man bent down to clean the corner."Sorry, ma'am, but that's the pattern of the granite," replied the young man named Nate Evander."What a useless son-in-law! When I tell you to clean it, clean it quickly!" snapped Liene as she kicked Nate in the butt as he bent down to look at the corner of the wall. Nate's head hit the wall."You suck! My pet dog is more useful than you," Liene grumbled as she left Nate stroking his head."Hmm..." Nate just let out a deep sigh as he sat on the floor.Other janitors seemed to pass by his in-laws' house regardless of his presence. As a son-in-law of the Damian Lucius family, he should be respected like his other children and in-laws."Nate!" shouted a teenager who had just entered the room. The teenager seemed to be wearing the clothes of Vienna International High School, the most elite
Nate walked slowly into Mark Lucius' luxurious mansion. He passed several of Mark's family maids on his way to the room where Wien was. They all immediately turned away when he looked at them."Where is Mrs. Wien?" Nate asked one of the maids who was cleaning a vase of flowers. But the woman remained silent, not answering Nate's question."This time they must have asked the servants not to respond to my words," Nate thought with a deep sigh.Nate was forced to wander around Mark's house in search of Wien's whereabouts. From the first floor to the third, he found no sign of her after checking every room there. Nate then went to the fourth floor of Mark's house.There, Wien appeared on the balcony, accompanied by a male servant who brought her a drink. The male servant left immediately when Nate approached the balcony. Wien immediately turned to the side and gave Nate a sharp look."Who told you to come here?" Wien snapped as she glared at Nate."But there was a servant who asked me to

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
