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
"I can't comply with your request on that one, Aarav," Ezraf said in a soft yet firm tone.Aarav had guessed that Ezraf would not easily agree. Being part of The Warlackson Organization was not an easy thing, for him. If Ezraf tried once to become a traitor, then it could be that the risk that would be obtained was not light. Moreover, the members of The Warlackson Organization are dominated by the mafia."How do you know about The Warlackson Organization, Aarav?" Ezraf asked then. His gaze was slightly narrowed so that from there it exuded suspicion.Ezraf's question caught Aarav's attention."That's not a difficult thing for me, Ezraf. Or is it really you and the Northlay Family who suck for not being able to hide the organization tightly?""No one knows about the organization except you," Ezraf replied. "That already proves that I and the other members tried hard to keep it under wraps. So, how did you find out?""I didn't know that you were secretly finding out information about u

Marcolin felt that it was not wrong to judge Aarav as a person with crazy ideas.After they obtained evidence about the people Richard had met before the deadly collision, Aarav pulled Marcolin to come to this place: The Vandergroull Club. Yes, the club where Richard went to hang out with some VVIPs-and those people are now with Aarav."I know we just met, but I also booked a VVIP table. So, it wouldn't be wrong for all of us to be friends, right?" Aarav asked the other four VVIP guests. The smile that curved Aarav's face showed no awkwardness at all.From the side, as he stood watching, Marcolin secretly thought that Aarav was much different from the person he used to be when they first met. Aarav was already better at behaving in front of the VVIP guests, even though they were all suspects in Richard's murder."Hey, I didn't expect that we would have you, Mr. Aarav. Shouldn't we greet you?" One of the VVIP guests, Gerald, who was the same age as Aarav, replied in a friendly manner.
Aarav had lost almost half his consciousness under the influence of alcohol.The laughter of Aarav and the four VVIP guests was still loud in this room. On the other hand, Marcolin could hardly resist taking Aarav away from here. But unfortunately, Aarav asked him to wait until the time count on the stopwatch was over. While now, the time count on the stopwatch in Marcolin's hand still had one minute left."Shouldn't Richard have worked with you to get the distribution of the narcotics?" asked Aarav in between his laughter. "But, you failed to do that because of Richard's actions that almost landed you in jail?"Karina snapped her fingers as she nodded emphatically. "That's right. He told me that I would get a huge profit sharing..."After Karina paused for a moment, the woman took another sip of her alcohol and exhaled-relieving her throat."...but it turns out he's not very good at his job at all. Just now, what did you say? Did you catch him? That's how stupid Richard is! He's good

"Did you... get the sample evidence?" With a hoarse voice typical of someone who had just woken up from the effects of drugs, Aarav asked Marcolin.Marcolin removed the attributes of the laboratory staff one by one. From his face to the gloves that were still wrapped on both hands. His movements were so hasty that he put it into the backpack that was left on the sofa in Aarav's hospital room. Then Marcolin took out a flashdrive to show Aarav."I have copied the examination file of the substance in Richard's body here." Marcolin raised the pendrive so that he could show it to Aarav's face.In front of Marcolin, Aarav squinted and watched with some confusion."You should have told us earlier about your plans," Benzala said as she walked from the entrance of the room, approaching Aarav's hospital bed.Aarav felt his head was still dizzy from the anesthesia he was under. When he looked to his right, he saw that his shoulder was already in a cast. As he looked at his hard shoulder, Aarav v
