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
"Did you check it out for yourself?" asked Alan. Now he wasn't the only one talking in the living room of Marcell's apartment. Instead, Mike was watching a movie with popcorn on his lap. The movie had started fifteen minutes ago, but the sound of Marcell and Alan's chatter was still interrupting each other. Damn it, Mike had to hold back his anger because he couldn't focus on the movie that had started. "I haven't confirmed it yet. But my thoughts say so. What do you think?" Marcell asked back. Alan looked thoughtful. "That makes sense Marcell, maybe so.""But damn it, aren't there people who hate him or are his enemies?" Alan threw his back against the backrest."Yeah I wish I had someone on my side. But as long as I'm friends with Dayton, I should be able to meet people who support him."So, Mike was positioned between Marcell and Alan. He exhaled many times to keep himself from exploding. Alan chuckled. "I think Robert might be on your side.""But if Robert knows this, why does
This time Alan volunteered to accompany Marcell to Robert's anniversary club. Marcell didn't even have to ask and beg, Alan had already shown that he wanted to go. Alan had heard from Arjuna about Robert, so he needed to be by Marcell's side. Remember the incident where Marcell was shot in front of the bakery? It was very scary and full of questions. They hadn't found out who the shooter was until now. "He looks suspicious," Alan said, squinting from inside the car. Marcell's Porsche Taycan was on the plane to Tokyo. The place they were visiting was pretty cool, where a lot of car kids and those who were good at drifting came to show their talents. "He seems friendly," Marcell replied, dismissing Alan's negative thoughts. Although he already knew that Robert was suspicious or perhaps very dangerous. Marcell was sure that Robert had been spying on him through the city's cctv. Alan opened the car door when Marcell started to move after turning off the car engine. The two of them
Marcell was about to reveal everything. About who he was and his purpose in approaching Robert. But Alan's hand held his arm as if he knew what Marcell was about to do. Signaling that this was not the right time for Marcell to be honest with Robert.Meanwhile, Robert was still staring at Marcell, waiting for him to speak.Marcell finally let out his breath. He had to buy time, make Robert reveal the secret between Marcus and Dayton first."I'm just an orphan trying to survive with my life. I'm a loner, I have no friends, no family.""Tsk." Robert smiled lightly. He wasn't going to fall for Marcell's nonsense. "What are you going to lie about, Marcell Clark? You're talking to the wrong person. Andreas Hubert and even Dayton are too stupid to investigate you."Now Marcell understands why Marcus lost badly to Robert, not even able to retrieve the lost file. The Hermes system in Marcell's head began to read the current situation. Marcell came to know that there were one oh no two people o
