Marcell returned to London, this time not by himself. Instead, he was with Alan. His best friend, despite warnings and advice, Marcell is still adamant about accepting Dayton's money. This was not the time, but Marcell needed to get closer to the man again. And he needed Alan, just in case something happened. "So what's your plan?" asked Alan on the way to the meeting place."I still don't know how to uncover and trap him." Marcell looked thoughtful as he drove. "Just a reminder, Dayton is not a mere random person. And the businessmen around him." Alan explains that exposing Dayton won't be that easy. It could even be Marcell who will be the scapegoat. "He could even still be on the loose when the sentence falls on him.""Shit," Marcell cursed. He seemed to have no way out. It wasn't just that Marcell wasn't a native Briton, or that he was new to the business. Marcell couldn't even be 60% sure. But 155.23 still urged him to trap Dayton."Look for connections, stay in London and lo
Golf is over, and they choose to continue their respective activities. Some were meeting clients, some were going to meetings, and Anne and Marie went to the salon.Calvin and Kai waved goodbye to Alan as they went their separate ways. Back to their respective bosses. "Did you get close to them?" asked Marcell as he walked hand in hand with Alan out to the parking lot. "I'm trying to dig up something. Who knows, I might be able to help you with your plan," Alan replied, opening the steering wheel door. This time he would be driving. "That's great, thanks for the help." Marcell got into the car and put on his seat belt. His memory recalled the conversation he overheard at the bar. That they thought Marcell had a lot of bodyguards. Was it time for him to hire a bodyguard. And emphasize that he was not just anybody. "What do you think if I have a bodyguard?" asked Marcell while Alan was busy getting the car out of the parking lot. "Uhh? Why the sudden need for that?" asked Alan. A
"Hm... that's quite beyond what I had thought sir, but now I'm also curious about it." Prof. Jose spoke up after a long silence. Dr. Ivan suddenly chuckled. "You know I've been thinking of a romance story for M155.""Hey we're not movie directors." Prof. Jose reminded. Dr. Ivan nodded. "I know but just imagine. Ah... Sir, is there a romance mission for M155?"H155 chuckled. "Hahaha... I guess so, catching criminals is a headache. How about we ask for a romance mission.""Hey... like Prof. Jose said we're not movie directors."Another voice suddenly came making the three of them turn their heads. Mr. Tiernan took a seat next to Dr. Ivan. "You guys are too tired from work, huh, to think of romance?" Dr. Ivan grinned. It turned out that Mr. Tiernan had some free time to discuss something outside of work. "Is there such a mission sir?""It's too risky. The subject could go crazy." Tiernan answered firmly without thinking first. Leaving a question mark on the three people present. "Yo
To lure the lead actor into the trap, you have to lure the others first. The first thing Marcell planned to do was to get to know Robert Mariano. Once he gets to know him, and learns of the existence of Marcus' contract data with Dayton, what Marcell will do is make a copy of it. Or he would steal the data. "Robert Mariano? Huh? Do you know him?" asked Arjuna who paused from his work. The man came out of the kitchen and sought fresh air. There happened to be Marcell sitting on a chair in front of the bakery, so he approached. "I just need to see him, he likes racing cars?" asked Marcell. Perhaps Arjuna knew him. Arjuna nodded. "Yes, we are in the same college. He's my senior. Robert has a lot of fans. You can see it on his social media. He's handsome, rich, and has a fancy car.""Have you met him?" asked Arjuna. "I plan to. Where can I meet him?"Arjuna narrowed his eyes. "I don't understand what your business is with him. But he's a bit dangerous. Don't be too conspicuous to appr
Alan's expectation of Mike's arrival was that he would be saved from being Marcell's personal assistant. But it was wrong, Mike took full care of Marcell's business. Meanwhile, he had to go here and there and look for things for Marcell. More or less the job desk is similar to a personal assistant."Isn't it fun? You can go abroad while working." Marcell said this while smiling proudly, looking at the view of the clouds from the airplane window."Yes," Alan replied lazily. Because he was minimizing his body which was pressed by the next passenger. Alan growled a little and then whispered to Marcell. "But why did you book an economy class ticket?"Marcell turned his head still with that proud smile. "Did you forget I spent $400,000 on a Porsche Taycan? At least we'll survive there. Don't worry, I'll pay for the hotel and meals.""That's the way it has to be."Marcell enjoyed the trip and couldn't wait to meet Robert Mariano. He couldn't wait to see the man's response to his arrival as
Apart from visiting Robert's car club event, the next day Marcell also had the opportunity to join in for coffee and chat with Robert's other friends. Marcell Clark opened up opportunities for his connections. But he also felt comfortable around Robert. Their ages were not that far apart, and the conversations were not as formal as business rounds and career crises. Robert's friends were very friendly, they told him random things. Recounting their mistakes as teenagers or even discussing the girls they admired."Seriously, you don't have a girlfriend?" asked Richard, one of Robert's friends. Marcell smiled stiffly. "Yes, I really don't have a girlfriend or even close to another girl.""Eiy.. you're so innocent." Robert commented while chuckling."I'm tired of telling him to go on a date," Alan said. "Hahahaha... it's a waste to buy a Porsche Taycan if there's no girl in the passenger seat." Vion commented. And then the conversation just flowed until the clock showed two o'clock in
This might seem suspicious or it might just be a coincidence. Yesterday Marcell had missed the chance to meet Dayton, when he didn't come to the bakery. But in fact, when Marcell went shopping for his monthly needs he met Marie. Dayton was definitely still around."Are you going alone?" Marcell asked casually. Approaching Marie who was choosing jam on the shelf. She turned and smiled at Marcell. "Of course I'm with my husband. You still go shopping alone? Hahaha look for wife, Marcell." Marie gave a joke alluding to Marcell's status. Marcell chuckled. "Gosh Marie I'm still 20 years old. I just entered college.""You need to find a lover, who can lead you to change and success." This was advice. Marie was indeed a successful businesswoman. A career woman."I hope I find him soon. By the way, where is Dayton?" Marcell began to look to the right and left. Marie also looked around. "Maybe he's picking out his favorite snack."Marcell nodded. "I'll look for it-" Dayton's new best friend
"Why did you just fucking say that?" asked Marcell angrily.Alan shrugged. "I just remembered it." Said with a face of innocence.That was the reason Marcell hadn't closed his eyes until 2am. After shopping and dinner. Marcell immediately faced himself with the laptop screen. Searching for information about Dayton or James.Dayton Longbuttom, Minister of Finance, took 23 billion in profits?23 billion that he had no idea where it was going, but was in Dayton Longbuttom's pocket.Marcell narrowed his eyes as he read the headlines from 12 years ago. Hmm... is this just bullshit? Marcell asked himself. He didn't know for sure. But looking at the current Dayton he knew that the man was corrupt from government funds.The news was only on two websites. The next one was never picked up again. So people thought the headline was a hoax. No one believed it. There wasn't even news that Dayton was arrested and questioned by the Anti-Corruption Commission.James is the key?Marcell's mind remember
