Navy Pier 32. Aarav and Benzala's car stopped right by the parked container trucks. The view of the harbor was eerily quiet at half past twelve this evening greeting Aarav, Marcolin, and Benzala. There was no crowd in sight so Aarav searched for the whereabouts of the people Richard was referring to. "Where are they going to do the transaction?" Aarav asked Marcolin as he looked around. Marcolin, who was holding the steering wheel of the car, also lowered his head to look for details. "I don't think they would do a transaction in an easily accessible area like this," Marcolin said in response to Aarav's question. On the other hand, Marcolin was very sure that the transaction was carried out not far from where he was. Aarav activated the earpiece connection in his ear after being unable to connect with Benzala. Benzala's car was already beside his, but Aarav didn't want them to get off just yet. "Benzala, have you seen my bodyguard who was here earlier?" Aarav asked Benzala as h

Especially when knowing the total crime records recorded. For a man with such a dashing appearance-despite looking like he was sixty years old, all formal with a brown scarf, sunglasses like a boss, it was impossible to have only a few crime records.

Aarav could not hold back any longer. The roar of several cars came from behind. It was faint at first, but gradually the roar of the cars became clearer. A beam of headlights emanated from behind Aarav, shining right at Yokizo and his guards. In front of Aarav, the arrival of the cars made Yokizo immediately stunned in disbelief. Gradually, the corners of his lips curved into a smirk mocking Aarav. Yokizo laughed while clapping his hands. "Oh my. No wonder I'm feeling awkward because you came out of nowhere!" Yokizo exclaimed in between laughing unexpectedly. Aarav still didn't move. He could still hear the continuous roar of the cars-from faint to clearer as they approached him. Actually, he didn't know how many cars were coming. It was because his focus at that time was to immediately take down Yokizo and his bodyguards. Aarav's brain worked to estimate all possibilities. If tonight's plan was successful, then he would be able to provoke those in power over Yokizo to appear. F
BUGH! PLAKK! PRAANGG!Aarav straightened up with a gasp after he had thrown a fist. In front of Aarav, one of Yukizo's guards had lost his balance. His body staggered back a few steps while holding the corner of his lips-the area that had been hit by Aarav's powerful punch. There was a loud crack after his body hit the wall of the container truck. "You bastard, you shouldn't be part of Yokizo," Aarav cursed at Yokizo's bodyguard. His gaze was intense and could not hide his annoyance. Feeling the anger lingering in his chest, Aarav ran straight into the Yokizo bodyguard. In just a fraction of a second, Aarav's multiple kicks were able to make Yokizo's bodyguard unable to resist. The Yokizo bodyguard gradually relaxed until his body collapsed. Before Aarav could get ready, suddenly from the side, someone kicked him hard in the waist.Aarav jerked back a few steps. He was not ready for the kick. After seeing who kicked him, Aarav finally gritted his teeth and approached with quick s

"Aarav? What are you doing here?" Robert's question came out when the man witnessed Aarav's arrival in the prisoner's room. Robert sat in front of Aarav after pulling out a chair, then put on a curious face. For a few seconds Aarav did not answer Robert's question. At that moment, Aarav just stood still and watched Robert intensely. Aarav instantly imagined how Robert would react if he told him what he was saying now. "What's wrong?" Robert asked once again. Instantly, his face turned into a look of concern. "Why do I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this?" Aarav took a deep breath, then let it out. For some reason, Aarav was hesitant to tell Robert. "Do you know the news about Richard?" asked Aarav in a low voice, secretly guessing how Robert would react. Robert shook his head. "No, I didn't. How would I know?" "No warden told you? Or... you never overheard the conversation?" Aarav watched Robert seriously. On the other hand, Robert, who was embarrassed by Aarav's reaction
Aarav was not expecting the arrival of Ella and Ezraf in his living room. Aarav and Marcolin's steps slowed down from the entrance after witnessing the pair. Aarav looked at them with astonishment as they walked towards the sofas. Around Ella and Ezraf, there were several of Aarav's bodyguards standing guard. They all seemed wary of what Ella and Ezraf might do, but they still bowed to Aarav. "Since when are you here?" asked Aarav who had stopped walking. Two meters from where the sofas were. This was strange. Aarav was very aware of the look of anxiety in Ella's eyes. Moreover, Ezraf looked like he was reluctant to look at Aarav-a far cry from the look on his face in the days before. There was no look of resentment and anger towards Aarav. If it could be described, their appearance resembled... people who needed help. "Aarav," Ella called out after she had stood up and noticed Aarav. "Ah, I have an uneasy feeling about you two coming," Aarav replied as he let out a long breath
"I once heard a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend."Aarav's lopsided smile curved after hearing Ezraf's words just now. This was the most ridiculous thing to him. Aarav had been trying very hard to find an opening to bring Ezraf and Ella down. But now, they both came guiltlessly to ask him to cooperate. "So even though you asked me to work with you, you still consider me an enemy?" Aarav asked Ezraf with a grinning smile.Ezraf sat down and folded his arms across his chest. "Do you consider me a friend?" he asked. Then he hissed with a thoughtful look on his face, before finally shaking his head. "Ah, no way. I'm sure your hatred for me won't diminish even if we work together."Aarav let out a harsh sigh. "You know clearly. Why don't you ask the other party to help you? I'm more sure Wiliam has more powerful enemies than I do.""Ah, I'm actually very annoyed to admit this..." Ezraf placed both hands on his own thighs as he sat up straight. "Shouldn't you be aware of you
