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

    Marcell glanced around. Where he was stuck on the guard that Robert had set up. Alan sat on the hood of Marcell's car. He too was a bit creeped out as he knew there was no escape route. "You must have heard about me from them," Robert opened his voice. The dim light from the lakeside made the atmosphere even more tense. "Not much." This was true. That's why Marcell was willing to buy a Porsche and join Robert's car club. "What do you know?" Robert asked quietly. Now he wasn't as angry as before. It was useless for him to be furious, Marcell had his own way of dealing with it. Sigh. Marcell finally opened his mouth. There were two possibilities if he revealed what he knew and his intentions to Robert. First, Robert's guards would take him and torture him in a special room. Second, Robert was on his side, where he hated Dayton and his conspirators including Marcus. However, the second option is unlikely. Considering Marcell had played Robert undercover into his car club. "I hea

    Robert smiled wryly at Marcell's question. "You've managed to get in their circle, and have even gained the trust to turn around the money Dayton has taken from the budget funds.""You think I trust you that easily? What makes you want to expose them when you've already gotten the chance to grow your business more." Robert glanced at the Porsche Taycan behind Marcell. "You're an orphan and just starting your business, where did you get the money to buy a Porsche?"Damn, Robert was a very careful person. Not careless, can't just trust others. "I haven't received a penny from Dayton." Marcell emphasized again. "This is my savings, you can check my account or the shares I own."Robert narrowed his eyes. Watching the look on Marcell's face or the way he said what he wanted. It was still hard to accept all of Marcell's evasions, why that man had persisted to buy a Porsche to join his car club and meet him until now. It all felt odd. Who was Marcell Clark really? "No matter what you say,

Given the deadline for the completion of the mission for the subject still did not find a bright spot. This time it was even more complicated and convoluted. The subject had spent a lot of funds, but still no success. " I'm sorry for the mess that has been going on lately." H155 felt reluctant.

    Marcell's heart skipped a beat as he read the text. He didn't see it wrong, did he? Alan Blayze? Hermes? Was this Alan really an employee of Hermes and still active today? Was his former job as a property marketer just a front? BRAK! Marcell turned his head, finding Alan in the doorway of his room with his breath taken away. Marcell could see the look of panic on Alan's face. Not to mention when Alan accidentally saw his lanyard in Marcell's hand. Alan looked even more speechless. So let Marcell take the lead in this conversation. "You lied to me about the real job you left?" Marcell asked calmly. But he stood firmly facing Alan who had stepped a little into Marcell's room. "That..." "You're not from Mr. Blayze's property company," Marcell interrupted Alan. Do you know what happened as soon as Marcell said the word Blayze? The system in his head immediately activated and opened up everything about Alan Blayze's life history. Right in the laboratory room Prof. Jose l

    Alan had invited the accounting expert to come to Marcell's mansion. They had talked, Marcell had also been introduced. The man said his purpose was to check the financial statements of Papercrunch. "As we know, not all companies play clean. Even if there is a mistake of 1 dollar or 20 dollars they will do various ways to make the report appear balanced." Zack said. The man has been in the accounting world for 15 years. Often invited to work together by large companies to carry out the audit process or tax reporting. "This is the first time I've handled Papercrunch's financial statements. As far as I know, this company does not use the services of a third party. The audit process and tax reporting are all done by internal employees." Marcell remained silent. He waited for the final results of Zack's examination. Previously Alan had conveyed the irregularities that he examined from the reports and account mutations. Approximately 5 hours had passed to scrutinize a month's finan

    The footsteps galloped down the hallway. Behind him, two men struggled to keep up with the boss. Already, his face looked like he was ready to explode with emotion.BRAK!!!The sound of a folder slamming on the table was enough to interrupt the laughter in the procurement room.Lucas, who had been joking around with his partner, his back to the door, turned around and was surprised by his boss's arrival. Foolishly, he hadn't realized that Sebastian was angry about something else. Not for joking around during work hours."IDIOT!" Sebastian, his face flushed with anger, pointed at Lucas' face. "You think I don't know that you manipulate data?"Lucas' face turned pale as he started to feel bad. "What are you talking about?""Where did 7980$ of development funds go?" asked Sebastian directly. It all started when he met with Frederick yesterday and his friend told him when the construction process would be carried out. Even though the team of foremen and construction workers had been worki

    Clara. That was not her real name. It took time to consider and check the skills of the girl Alan proposed to help Marcell's mission.Besides being good at acting, in fact Clara is also good at operating computers and retrieving important data from other computers. Let's call her a hacker."How is it?" Asked Marcell sitting on the sofa once Miu had arrived in her office clothes.Yep, Clara is Miu. Hwang Miu who used to be the cashier for Puffy Muffy. Marcell also remembered that the girl was from the computer department."I've made a contract with Papercrunch." Miu shifted the document that already had her signature with Mr. Lucas' signature.Marcell smiled. He examined the contents of the document again. The original plan was to play both parties until they found out who was behind it. Lucas was a shrew at Papercrunch. In addition, Marcell would also play Mr. Nicholas into this game. He wanted to usurp Nicholas' position in the shareholder rankings."What's next?" Miu asked."Tomorro

    As a shareholder and as a friend who had just gotten acquainted with the owner of the company. Marcell boldly invited Sebastian through his secretary to come to the Mansion, as an open house event. Not only Sebastian but also several other shareholders. Even though he didn't know Sebastian well, this was the only way Marcell could find a way to get in and get close to the other conglomerates. Alan had prepared everything, from simple but classy décor, food catering and other snack booths that could be enjoyed. He also set up a Puffy Muffy booth so that guests could get to know Marcell's business as well. "It's soft, and the flavor captivates my tongue. Hahaha..." praised one guest who tasted the cake in front of the Puffy Muffy booth. Mike and Arjuna, who Marcell intentionally brought in, helped build the event. "I heard you were the best graduate in your school," said a guest friend to Arjuna who was wearing a chef's outfit this time. Arjuna smiled to hear it. "I guess so hahaha."

He was in a bad mood, more sensitive and irritable.Meanwhile, the culprit was reading a book quietly in his spacious mansion. Playing classical music on vinyl.Iya could predict that Stefan would already be provoked and distracted by her arrival as the new Marcell. He would be more interested in her and finding out other facts.Just the thought of it was enough to make Marcell smile slyly."You're in a good mood," said someone who suddenly appeared from behind him.Alan, still at Marcell's mansion after yesterday Mike returned to Oxford first."I'm imagining a cunning plan," Marcell replied without even looking at Alan.Instead, Alan was enjoying the music Marcell was playing.

    Marcell and Stefan's interaction stopped wordlessly and left a question mark. The event had begun, the host began to give a rundown of the event and of course invited Mr. Sebastian Johnson as the owner of the company to give a speech.The guests gave Sebastian a loud clap when he greeted them. Apart from the presence of Marcell Clark in an expensive suit, it was the man who came to Papercrunch and got a seat in the event hall. Stefan was shocked when Sebastian unveiled the name of the shareholder in his company.How? How did that happen? That was the question mark in Stefan's head. He knew full well that the courier from Yale had no future at all. He came from an orphanage, had no privileges, and was only a high school dropout.But how could his father mention Marcell Clark's name as shareholder number 36 with a percentage of 4.8%.Stefan looked back, across from where Marcell was sitting tall and calm. He could see the smug, smug smile on Marcell's face.Turning his body forward agai

    Marcell widened his eyes to see two grown men standing in front of the gate. He hadn't expected that. Of course, how could Alan and Mike come here without telling him first. "Wow, this is your real home in New Haven. How marvelous." Alan gaped at the sight behind Marcell's back. "It turns out you're a real rich man," Mike poked his head in to see what Marcell's mansion looked like. "How did you guys get here?" asked Marcell confused."Let us go in first, let's chat inside in the heat outside." Without permission Mike immediately walked over Marcell to walk into Marcell's yard. His gaze was still admiring how spacious and well-designed the outside was. Marcell looked at Mike only with a surprised look.Alan shrugged his shoulders and followed Mike who entered first. Marcell exhaled, letting his two friends' behavior go. He closed the gate and followed.Ignoring Mike and Alan who were still impressed with the mansion, Marcell grabbed two cans of beer from the fridge and served them
