Dizzy.Aarav doesn't remember what happened to him a moment ago. However, the moment his eyelids slowly opened, Aarav smelled a faint smell of medicine. Then gradually, as his consciousness was intact, the smell became so strong that Aarav winced.Staggering, Aarav watched the state of the room he was in. The walls were painted dark gray and looked dull, and there was little light—only two light bulbs hanging, two long sofas that were torn and very shabby, and the chair Aarav was sitting on now.What is even more surprising is that in the left corner of the room, there is a long glass cupboard. Inside are bottles of liquid and laboratory tubes. There was a table next to the glass cabinet which was very messy. Even though it was far away, Aarav could faintly see that the contents on the table were objects like a laboratory workbench situation.Aarav just wanted to move his hands. Too bad, he felt that the movement of his hands was limited. Aarav lowered his head and saw that his hands
"I only know my father died suddenly and was killed by someone. Did you kill my father?"Aarav didn't hesitate at all while asking that question. His eyes were so sharp on Benzala, while silently trying to read Benzala's facial expressions during his silence. Aarav's curiosity suddenly appeared and attacked him blindly."If you have been with my father all this time, then your motive for killing my father is very strong." Aarav goes back to baiting Benzala so he can confess his suspicions—at the same time, he needs to be sure that Benzala is the culprit.Benzala was still silent. From the look on his face, Aarav didn't understand at all. What was Benzala really thinking, too... what was this mafia boss man feeling?While Aarav was guessing, his gaze remained focused on Benzala so the system could read his feelings.[SORRY, THE SYSTEM FAILED TO DETECT THE PEOPLE'S FEELINGS]Aarav is suddenly surprised to get an unusual system notification. Since the beginning of using this system, Aara
"Master, someone has come and wants to see you!"When all the attention in the room was diverted, it turned out that it was one of Benzala's bodyguards who came. The look on his face showed anxiety as if something bad had just happened. There were bruises from the fight at several points on the man's face.Aarav just watched the man who came with a confused face. Someone came? Who had come to cause such a ruckus—even to the point where Benzala's male bodyguard was battered in the face?"Who?" asked Benzala as he straightened up."I-I dunno, sir. He didn't give her name and just said he wanted to see you." The bodyguard's voice sounded like he was in a hurry, as if he was really worried about something that was happening outside."The situation in the casino is very chaotic Mr. Benzala, a mob just sneaked in and beat up the other guards." Again the man explained the conditions.Benzala frowned in confusion, then looked at the two male bodyguards in turn. Suddenly Benzala's gaze fell on
A fight finally broke out too.After a strange new system suddenly appeared in front of Aarav's face, in that instant Aarav felt his whole body was different. Aarav gets strength out of nowhere which makes him feel fit. Without questioning anything, Aarav understood that this system feature must have been activated by Watson.Aarav glared at one of the bodyguard men who was on his right. A sudden push moved Aarav tossing the hand of the man on the right. His body rotates to face the right while giving a kick to the man on his left.Without any pity, Aarav made a small jump that took the man on his right and was hit by both the knee and the toe. At the same time, the two bodyguards holding his hand were thrown back a few steps. Stepping away from Aarav with a surprised look on Aarav's sudden movement."Bastard men like you..." Aarav grumbled through grinding his teeth. He approached the man in front of him—who had treated him roughly just a moment ago.Not wanting to take pity, Aarav d
"So he's offering to work together to find out who killed your father?"Watson asked that question after Aarav told all the details of the incident, including the last moment before going home. Aarav also gives Watson an official Benzala business card—which, in fact, only shows Benzala's legal identity. Not as an underground mafia boss who carries out all kinds of illegal transactions.Aarav doesn't answer. Since earlier, he had not stopped grinning while Marcolin was tending to his bruises. He didn't get punched in the final fight, but it turns out that Aarav had been in one before collapsing."Ah, you are battered like this, sir." Marcolin sighed when he had time to stop the movement of treating Aarav's wound for a moment.Marcolin's compassionate look made Aarav uncomfortable. Aarav chuckled a little while pressing the area around the bruise which was very painful."Don't look at me like that Marcolin. It's still my luck because you came on time" Aarav replied then.Watson watched
Aarav didn't know that he would come across such shocking facts.For a split second after Watson said something he had just discovered, Aarav couldn't speak at all. There was disbelief on his face, and Aarav desperately needed a moment to process Watson's words."Moonshine Bounce Club, The Vandergoull Night Club, both clubs are managed by the same company. Mr. Watson, you have told me that the Moonshine Bounce Club has tried to bring you down, right?" Aarav instantly felt a surge of excitement from somewhere.Watson too was still as shocked as Aarav. However, he nods his head in response to Aarav's question."Yes, they have slandered me. They are the most dangerous syndicate, but no one knows the name of the syndicate." Watson explained with an uncertain look at the image of the Moonshine Bounce Club on the PC screen.Hearing Watson's words, Aarav snapped his fingers. Immediately Aarav felt like he had just found the puzzle pieces."There is a match, sir. The Vandergoull Club is where
There was a sudden silence after Ezraf's accusatory statement was heard.Nobody spoke. Everyone in the restaurant looked dumbfounded after hearing what Ezraf said. Their faces showed shock and disbelief. But some of them still looked full of worry because of the tension of Aarav and Ezraf's fight.A few meters in front of Ezraf, Aarav gritted his teeth. Aarav had completely lost his temper hearing Ezraf who was so loud in his accusations."I've been restraining myself from the start you beat me," Aarav's voice was full of emphasis, looking at Ezraf very sharply.Ezraf smirked innocently after seeing Aarav's reaction. As if he didn't care about Aarav's anger, Ezraf made a finger gesture for Aarav to come closer to him."Why? You don't accept it? Or are you afraid they will all know that you spread the news?" Ezraf did not stop provoking Aarav, deliberately wanting to provoke even more anger.Out of control, Aarav walked quickly towards Ezraf while clenching his fists. However, as soon
Aarav groaned in annoyance while throwing his tie on the sofa just like that after Ezraf left his private room.His head feels dizzy now. Since earlier, Aarav had been trying to contain his emotional turmoil while talking to Ezraf. As a result, his heart beat was beating so fast as emotions made his heart feel frantic.Aarav's body was thrown on the sofa as his rough breath came out. Aarav closed his eyes to neutralize the things in his brain that felt messy. Somehow, Aarav felt like he was being hit by so many problems in a row.Before Aarav could digest the events of his meeting with Benzala, then learning that his father had joined a secret syndicate organization that was very closed, Aarav now confronts Ezraf. Don't know where Ezraf could have guessed that Aarav was the one behind the news articles about Zanhara's illegal business.Now, Aarav doesn't want to come out of the room just yet. It seemed that watching the many visitors to his restaurant would only make Aarav think about
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
