"I've been asking you nicely since the beginning of our conversation, Aarav. You are not willing to negotiate."Cheers from the members of The Warlackson Organization could be heard all around Aarav. All eyes were on one spot: the man in the boxing ring tied to a pole, accompanied by three burly men. The three men seemed content to listen to the cheers of the other members."HIT HIM NOW!""OH, COME ON, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS SHOW!""HEY, IS THAT GUY GOING TO DIE TONIGHT?"While the cheers for the three burly men, Robby's aides, to immediately hit the target rang out, Aarav was only dumbfounded. The look on his face radiated great worry realizing who the man they were targeting was.Aarav could not move at all. Both of his hands were held very firmly by Robby's two aides. The man who was targeted and tied to the pole there was very recognizable to Aarav."Marcolin," muttered Aarav who immediately fell silent in panic. "What are you going to do with him, Mr. Robby?"The eye contact be

The file that Watson sent was data on the criminal history of The Warlackson Organization over the past years.Aarav read all the information for each year. The criminal acts committed by The Warlackson Organization were not just one or two. But luck seemed to be with them all, as none of the criminal acts were seriously prosecuted."I found the file from him," Watson replied to Aarav's question just now.Aarav swiped the system screen to the side to split the display into two: The Warlackson Organization's criminal history data and the video call view with Watson. At that moment, Aarav watched as Watson stepped aside, and then Robert appeared with a distinctive stern look on his face.Suddenly Aarav could not hide his surprise. Aarav was dumbfounded for a few seconds, completely unexpected and confused about how Robert could be next to Watson."Wait... why... Robert is beside you?" asked Aarav after a split second of trying to digest Robert's appearance.Robert crossed his arms in fr
"Fioletta! Fioletta, come quickly!" Benzala's voice rang out loudly calling someone's name.Aarav and Marcolin's bodies, carried by Robert and one of Benzala's bodyguards, were placed on the medical bed. Aarav groaned as the pain in his stomach intensified. His movements were so limited that he could hardly even lay down without Robert's help.Soon a woman around Aarav's age wearing a white doctor's coat arrived. Another man who also looked like a doctor followed behind. Both of them were in a hurry to approach Aarav and Marcolin."They have gunshot wounds and stab wounds. You must take serious action against them," Benzala said without being asked by the two doctors.There was no response from the two doctors. While Benzala kept his bodyguards out of the room, the two doctors examined Aarav and Marcolin's injuries.Compared to Aarav, Marcolin's condition was more limp. Marcolin was literally just lying there, even when the male doctor removed his T-shirt. The gunshot wound in Marcoli
Aarav didn't feel any better after waking up from the effects of the anesthesia.On the slightly weathered hospital bed, Aarav forced himself to get up and sit down. His stomach felt very stiff and painful because he had just had his wound sutured a few hours ago. But Aarav ignored the bandage that was reddened by the blood flowing down his abdomen.After painstakingly sitting against the wall, Aarav looked to the side. There was no Marcolin's bed anymore. He was the only one in this silent room. Marcolin's absence made Aarav instantly feel anxious. Aarav spontaneously remembered the incident where Marcolin was shot for protecting him from an attack."Where is Marcolin?" asked Aarav muttering as he looked to his right and left. There was panic on his face.Aarav suddenly had the urge to get up and go out to find Marcolin's whereabouts. His worries were already growing after remembering what happened between the two of them.So Aarav, without thinking about the large bandage wrapped
"What if Watson can't handle them well?" The only question Aarav had been thinking about since it was asked.Ever since he heard the news that they had also contacted Watson to find Aarav's whereabouts, Aarav felt guilty. Watson should not have been involved in this. But because of the bodyguards Watson sent to rescue him yesterday, they knew that Watson and him were working together.Aarav could not control the worry inside him now. Marcolin's condition had not fully recovered, but now he was also thinking about how Watson would deal with Robby's mafia members."Robby won't go that deep," Robert said, sounding calmer than Aarav. "Maybe Watson will get a little bluff. But they know Watson has more power. So the other possibility is... they won't go that far."Aarav sighed heavily upon hearing Robert's answer. For the second time, the soothing words did nothing to dispel his anxiety."If they didn't go that far, I'd be relieved. But what if they... deliberately didn't go any further to
Marcolin slowly opened his eyes as his consciousness gradually recovered.In the midst of trying to adapt to the room's light, Marcolin vaguely saw someone's face above his. There was something moving around. The more Marcolin opened his eyes while groaning slightly, the more it seemed that someone was waving a hand in front of his face.At that moment Marcolin was somewhat stunned and stopped blinking for a moment. The waving hand that moved in front of his face was watched intensely. Marcolin's eyes traced from the tip of the palm to the shoulder.Marcolin was immediately surprised to see Aarav looking at him with concern. But because he was feeling dizzy, Marcolin really could not do anything. He only let out a small groan once again out of annoyance at being surprised."How are you doing?" asked Aarav after making sure Marcolin was truly awake.Marcolin did not immediately answer Aarav's question. He noticed Benzala and Robert who were standing beside Aarav, they also seemed to wa
[The number you have dialed cannot be reached, please try again in a moment]Shit.Darius' number could not be reached at all by Aarav. After the call operator's notification was heard, Aarav immediately groaned in annoyance and dropped his cell phone unceremoniously. Aarav couldn't stop worrying ever since the news article about his restaurant appeared.As time went on, the news articles that appeared increasingly told things far from the truth. One of the articles mentioned that there were drinks on the menu that contained the narcotic Amethamine. Aarav vividly remembered that Amethamine was the same type of narcotic that Darius' La Encanto shop had been involved in a few years ago.Aarav couldn't stop groaning in exasperation after remembering Darius' case. If indeed the type of narcotics used was the same, it meant that the perpetrators were no different."Is the person who tried to bring down Darius back then William?" asked Aarav with a giddy look straight ahead. He played with
