"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
"Hello, William! Oh my. You're trying so hard to give me an attack?" Aarav greeted William through a phone call. After the information he obtained about Dante's Seawolt company, Aarav immediately saw the phone call from William.On the other end of the line, William could be heard laughing lowly. There was mockery implied in his laughter. William seemed to feel satisfied after being able to deliver an attack on Aarav's restaurant. It was very easy to read."How are you now?" asked William between his mocking laughs. "Are you crying and lamenting how one of your main businesses turned upside down?"Aarav raised his eyebrows in challenge. William's words just now touched his feelings a little. Therefore, the two corners of his lips could not help but curve into a sardonic smile."Ah, of course I'm sad right now, how is this? My main business is going to be messed up," Aarav replied in a voice made up like a hiccup."Well, it looks like I'm going crazy since you're already counterattacki
Aarav's car stopped right in an alleyway of a housing complex. Aarav, Benzala and Robert took a moment to look around the neighborhood. It was eerily quiet as if there was no life. Aarav didn't see anyone walking near his car stop.The houses, which were of different shapes and sizes, looked simple. But Aarav still did not expect that the editor and writer of the news article about Seawolt Dante Company did not live in a rural area. Aarav thought it was possible that the editor and writer of the article had deliberately distanced themselves so that their whereabouts would not be discovered."No matter what I think, I feel that the editor and writer of Seawolt Dante Company's articles have a great deal of influence," Benzala began to comment as she took stock of the situation."That's right. Normally people who expose the hidden cases of a company like Seawolt Dante would hide themselves, but..." Robert's sentence paused for a moment, his face seemingly thinking about something."...wh
Aarav's senses became uneasy after seeing the arrival of the two strangers.When the two men's car had disappeared completely and Helena, the articles editor, had walked in, Aarav hurriedly got out of the car. Benzala and Robert walked behind Aarav, keeping an eye on the surroundings as they walked down the path of Helena's yard.When Helena's footsteps reached the door, Aarav immediately stopped walking. This made Benzala and Robert stop their steps as well.Aarav was deliberately silent for a split second because he knew Helena was aware of his presence. Helena's head slowly turned back and was somewhat surprised by Aarav's arrival.Benzala and Robert stiffened at Helena's sharp, wary gaze."Miss Helena?" called Aarav in a cautious voice.Helena watched Aarav through eyes that seemed to guess who Aarav was. After a few seconds, Helena - with a calm gesture - took a deep breath and exhaled."Who are you?" she asked. One hand silently moved to the back of her body. "How do you know my

The holographic light screen in front of Aarav's face suddenly appeared. Aarav was startled and stopped himself from standing up from the living room chair. When he realized that the hologram screen was faintly displaying Watson's figure, Aarav suddenly panicked.Aarav's situation was now in the middle of Benzala, Robert, and Vito. He couldn't possibly communicate with Watson through the system in front of all of them. They wouldn't be able to see the system in front of Aarav's face and would suspect something important he was hiding."Why, Aarav? Is there something you need again?" asked Benzala after seeing Aarav sit back down.With an awkward gesture, Aarav tried to find a lie to avoid Benzala's question. When his eyes accidentally glanced at the backyard, Aarav finally found the right excuse."Can I go to the back garden?" Aarav asked Vito.Suddenly Aarav's question surprised Benzala, Vito, and Robert. After Aarav asked the question, Vito was silent for a moment. He looked confuse
"How are Mr. Watson and Darius?" Aarav asked Robert and Benzala who had just arrived at the hospital.After leaving William's secret hideout, Aarav told Robert and Benzala to take Watson and Darius to Aarav's house. Meanwhile, here Aarav is now, standing guard at the hospital during Marcolin's bullet removal surgery."They are fine. But unfortunately, they are still in shock because of the incident where Marcolin was shot," Benzala replied, sitting beside Aarav with a heavy sigh."How was the surgery to remove Marcolin's bullet?" Robert asked after sitting on Aarav's empty left side.Aarav looked up at the crest above the operating room. There the green light was still on, indicating that the operation had not yet been completed."You just look at that sign. It's still on. Marcolin's surgery isn't over yet. The doctor said there are indications of serious infection from the gunshot wound. Especially since the pistol bullet landed right in the spinal cord."Hearing Aarav's statement, R
The operation to remove the bullet in Marcolin's body was successful.On the other hand, Marcolin's condition could not be the same as before due to the spinal cord injury he suffered. Marcolin was unconscious and had to rest completely. That meant Marcolin would not participate in Aarav's plan to avenge his cruel conglomerate allies.Aarav had left Marcolin to be guarded by seven personal bodyguards. Peter was also there so that he could call Aarav if anything dangerous happened.Marcolin's hospitalization room was also VVIP class. Aarav deliberately chose the room because it had a special door that could only be opened using a password."Can you carry out your plan without Marcolin, Aarav?" asked Robert beside Aarav.Aarav with Robert and Benzala in the car. As planned, Aarav was going to the writer's home address. Luckily, Aarav still had the paper given to him by Vito, the editor of the article."I can do that, even though it's really hard," replied Aarav, who was still looking ou

Aarav didn't realize that Marcolin had planned the details so carefully.Moments ago, before entering the operating room, the doctor who handled Marcolin gave him a small tool box. A camera that was so small that it could not be seen. Aarav was actually confused as to why Marcolin kept such a small camera.Now that Aarav was watching on the laptop screen, he was shocked. It contained footage from behind Marcolin's back. Aarav, Benzala, and Robert didn't even realize that Marcolin had secretly placed a camera in his back area.The camera was recording everything. It was very clear.Starting from the moment Marcolin fought with William, William who kicked Marcolin's back - at this moment Aarav somehow believed Marcolin deliberately turned his body, and also included the moment William brandished a gun until Marcolin's body collapsed.There is one scene where Marcolin stands back so that the camera captures William torturing one of the bodyguards in the basement.Watching all these video
"How are Mr. Watson and Darius?"

BRAK! BRAK!The sound of loud wood banging could be heard from the door of the room being kicked with force. With his heart racing, Aarav tried to get the door open. Next to Aarav, Peter took turns kicking the door.The door in front of them was the only way out. Before William could escape from Marcolin and Peter's trap, they had to knock down the door immediately.Aarav and Peter's breathing was ragged as sweat dripped from their temples. In front of them, the bolts of the wooden door mounted with a broken padlock had begun to loosen."Is there a tool to break the lock?" asked Aarav between his labored breaths.Robert and Benzala immediately exchanged glances. Benzala, who found it first, asked Marcolin to carry Watson. In a hurry, Benzala grabbed an abandoned fire extinguisher.After bringing the canister to Aarav, Benzala didn't allow Aarav to try it alone. Benzala then held the canister tightly together with Aarav and Peter, Benzala's younger brother."One... two... break it!"On
"Aarav, what the hell is going on?!"Aarav didn't answer Benzala's question at all. After the video call was unilaterally switched off by William, Aarav felt his anger rise that very second. His mind couldn't stop imagining the worst possibilities.Aarav had no idea that William was secretly seeing Watson. Also, who knows how long William had been keeping Darius with Watson. Now, Aarav decided to leave Vito's house. Of course, Vito had already given the address of Leon-the author of the article about Seawolt Dante Company. But Aarav canceled his plan to go to the writer's house."Do you know why Darius can't pick up my calls?" asked Aarav when he was already in the car with Benzala and Robert.Benzala was preparing to fasten her seatbelt to her body. She looked curiously at Aarav."Did something happen to him?" guessed Benzala."Wiliam," Aarav said, pausing as his temper rose. "He came to Mr. Watson and kept him with Darius. I don't know when William came. But he was very anxious to
