There are still seven hours left today before tomorrow. Please use more money in your account before the deadline for carrying out the mission ends]Again the system notification about the mission time limit appeared. But Aarav felt no worries at all. He had spent enough money in three hours to pay off personal debts and other people's debts.Now, four male loan sharks have left New York's La' Encanto Coffee Shop. The shop is deserted, only Aarav and the owner of this coffee shop are there.Aarav was already sitting at one of the tables with chairs for two. In front of him, there is Darius—the owner of the coffee shop who looks at the agreement letter that the debt has been paid off. Aarav counted fif
"Ah, Aarav. You are too excited."Can you guess what happened to Aarav after the verbal deal with Darius?Aarav faints.He doesn't know how it happened—because even Aarav doesn't remember anything except his weak strength, Aarav really faints. In the end Darius calls the only number on the last call in Aarav's contacts: Watson.But the one who picked up Aarav was Marcolin. There was no way Watson would cancel his business just for the sake of a trifling matter like Aarav fainting after being tired of making verbal deals.Aarav's life is full of embarrassment."I read the system report entered on my computer, you used combo system skill while talking to Darius." That said was Watson.Now Aarav is in one of the rooms in Watson's house. Don't imagine it looks like an ordinary room.The room where Aarav is now is strange: predominately white with chandeliers and LED poles, the feel is exactly like a space room, and two meters from Aarav's king-size bed there is an invisible wall PC screen
Aarav actually doubts whether he should discuss the investment for his restaurant or not with Watso.While making a verbal agreement with Darius, it had never occurred to Aarav that he had not yet had time to seek Watson's approval. If he didn't say anything, Watson would find out sooner or later.On the other hand, Aarav is torn as to how to tell Watson about the investment. He was worried that if Watson could not agree, then his and Darius' verbal agreement would be void."Why didn't I think about it at all?" grumbled Aarav while ruffling his hair softly.Aarav was about to go down the stairs but he found Watson's figure holding a cup of drink. Watson was not aware of Aarav's existence, but soon he accidentally glanced at Aarav's whereabouts."Aarav?" Watson looked confused. "Hey, why are you standing there?"Aarav instantly feels awkward. He had been imagining Watson's possible reaction, and now Watson was right in front of him.What should he say?"I... just wanted to leave the ro
Aarav is finally able to stand in front of his restaurant.After the last few days—which he thought were full of unpleasant incidents, Aarav could see the shape of the restaurant again. Whereas a few days ago Aarav witnessed the bank coming to his restaurant for foreclosure.Now, it's back to Aarav's."Hey. Is this restaurant back yet?" Someone from behind squeaked.Aarav who was just enjoying the view of the front of his restaurant averted his eyes. Two middle-aged women look surprised and amazed because this restaurant owned by Aarav, which had caused quite a stir in the district due to the arrival of the bank, was open again."There is an owner." One of the middle aged ladies notices Aarav's presence. "You, Mr. Aarav, are you free from your debt?!"The woman's exclamatory question did not offend Aarav at all. Aarav nods his head with a relieved smile."Thankfully, I have, Miss Eliza. I paid off the debts so the restaurant can come back."The two middle-aged women looked at each oth
"Doing something like what, for example?" Aarav deliberately challenged Hansen with his question.Right now, Aarav was trying his best to keep himself from getting out of control. There is a possibility that Hansen will say a sentence accusing him. Aarav was more worried that he couldn't bear to hear the umpteenth time someone insulted since a few days ago till now.There was silence between Aarav and Hansen. Aarav waited for what Hansen would say, and during that time tension enveloped them both.But suddenly..."Like borrowing debt again!" Hansen laughed jokingly, the tone of a joke between men.Aarav instantly loosens his fist. In just a second, he felt the intensity of the tension between the two of them fade away."Borrowing debt again..." Aarav was still digesting the shame of barely controlling himself. "Ah! Jesus. You mean dig a hole to cover a hole?"Hansen nodded his head with an amused expression. "Yeah, because I've been in your shoes, Aarav. Wow! I'm in debt with the bank
Aarav was too surprised to get the question that Hansen was pointing at.For a few moments, there was nothing for Aarav to do but think about what the right answer would be in return to that question. Aarav did not expect that Watson actually did the bluff that was said to Hansen, only because Aarav was getting bad treatment.Hansen looked at Aarav with narrowed eyes. He shows more and more suspicion towards Aarav."Why are you silent, Aarav?" asked Hansen after seeing Aarav unable to answer anything.Aarav still has no answer to say."If you tell me your restaurant just came back, it means your restaurant was still confiscated by the bank this morning." Hansen kept saying sentences trying to corner Aarav.But Aarav tries to stay calm. Now, he knew why Hansen had come and went to the extent of finding out the address of the restaurant. Because facing someone like Hansen, who already had thoughts of him, would not be easily shaken."So that's your reason for finding out about my restau
With the remaining money in Aarav's account, now Aarav is moving his residence.Aarav has already rented an apartment in a remote area. The size is not too big or luxurious. He had just moved some of his belongings at Ella's house—a while ago Ella contacted him to pick up his belongings at the place where they lived together.The rest of Aarav's belongings were still outside the apartment, before he could call for help. Her body is very tired today. Aarav had already bought a set of mattresses and sofas—the most important parts for him at the moment."Why do I feel like I have less energy today?" muttered Aarav as he lay down on the sofa in the living room.Aarav looked resignedly at the turned off television in front of him. For some reason, Aarav doesn't want to do anything anymore. Even to turn on the television just feels lazy.Meanwhile on the other hand, near the sofa in the living room of this apartment, Aarav saw his desk which had several documents on it. He intends to submit
According to what Aarav and Watson had suspected last night, a news article about the return of Kedai La' Encanto managed to stir up the internet.Aarav had read this morning. Pros and cons that internet users say via trending twitter. But most of them are enthusiastic about Kedai La' Encanto's new menus. For them, they had all been waiting for a very long time to see the arrival of the tavern again."The customer who comes for one week straight is the suspect who spread bad news about my shop?"Today, Aarav is in presence of Darius. He had come to La' Encanto because he wanted to talk about the conversation he had with Watson last night.After Aarav told him about someone who was suspected of being the reason bad news was spreading about his tavern, Darius looked like he couldn't believe it. But Aarav still shows his seriousness and shows he is not joking."You ... say what nonsense?" Darius chuckled which even sounded awkward to Aarav's ears.In front of Darius, Aarav sighed heavily
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?" 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.

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
