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
Aarav had already guessed since the slightly intimidating question given by Helena, the information about Seawolt Dante Company that Vito had was no ordinary information.In front of Vito who was staring at Aarav like he was identifying danger, Aarav tried to remain calm. The table in the center of them was already filled with three folders of documents. It had been an hour of discussion between Aarav and Vito about Seawolt Dante Company."They used two chemical companies, Babel North Company and Seawolt Dante Company, to carry out the RX30 project?"Vito nodded his head. "You," he pointed at Robert, "told me about a GHB narcotic distribution project that would be hidden in drugs or nightclub drinks. It was project RX30, which is now being resumed after being forcibly stopped four years ago."Robert was already frowning sharply listening to Vito's long explanation. Since earlier, he had felt an uneasy feeling. Imagining the events of four years ago, where he was regarded as a traitor
