"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, how are you?"Aarav and Valkery's attention shifted in unison after hearing someone's voice from behind. Aarav was dumbfounded watching Hansen's figure walking towards him with a big smile. In contrast to the figure of Hansen who came to Aarav's restaurant a few days ago with great tension.Aarav immediately tilted his head and furrowed his brows. He didn't expect that Hansen would come to him again after the last time they argued at his restaurant."Hansen?" asked Aarav in astonishment. "You came here?"Hansen nodded his head. "Of course, I came with someone who received an invitation as a VVIP guest."Aarav was just astonished to hear the word 'VVIP guest' that Hansen called. Unfortunately, before Aarav could ask, Hansen's gaze was already fixed on Valkery—who at that time looked at Hansen in astonishment."Oh, hello, Valkery. I've been seeing you in commercials and social media and television for a long time." Hansen stretched out his hand to Valkery, about to shake hands.
"I'm the boss, the VVIP guest he talked to you about earlier."Aarav thought he was going mad—or worse, he was crazy now.The voice came from the side. A figure that Aarav knew very well, and had only met two days ago, stepped over to where Aarav and Hansen were. His figure is so relaxed while holding a cup of drink and putting one other hand in his trouser pocket.Aarav was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on the figure coming towards him just now. I don't know why his tongue went numb. Seeing the arrival of a male figure who was now grinning at him made Aarav remember what happened two nights ago.Events in the Golden VVIP room. The first time Aarav got into a debate with someone from the elite."William..." Aarav's voice just came off after a while ago, for no reason, his brain suddenly froze. "You came here? You are..."The movement of Aarav's index finger moved from Wiliam's figure to Hansen's. Aarav doesn't say anything. Just looked at the two men in front of him now with a
"What is your reason for making Valkery a Brand Ambassador?"One of the questions that came out of the mouth of a media reporter. Now, the press conference for the inauguration of Valkery as Brand Ambassador has begun.Aarav sits with Valkery, Darius and also Watson at a special long table. Facing the media reporters who sat very neatly in the space provided. In the front row of the media reporters, there are seven special seats for VVIP guests.One of the seven chairs was occupied by William. Since the beginning of the press conference, Aarav's attention did not move from William who looked at him with a meaningful smile. It's as if there's some implicit plan. But Aarav felt something uncomfortable from the smile and look on William's face like that."The first reason, I don't deny that Valkery is the most influential celebrity in this country. All brands that make them brand ambassadors, including myself, need someone like Valkery..."Then Aarav's gaze turned to Valkery who was just
"They really want to provoke you on purpose, Aarav. I am very sure that Wiliam's arrival is not without reason."Aarav nodded in response to Watson's words. He agreed with Watson's opinion that William had come on purpose to provide bait. But Aarav didn't know what Wiliam was trying to provoke to the point where he agreed to come to this event."Before he came to this event, most likely William already knew this was your show," Watson said once again. She couldn't hide her worry for Aarav.Meanwhile beside Watson, Aarav just sat and motionless in a giddy state. Aarav placed his interlocked hands on his thighs. Aarav couldn't imagine what William really wanted."Did he get very angry because of our argument that night?" asked Aarav who was actually just mumbling.Unfortunately because Watson heard, Watson cleared his throat in affirmative as an answer. He said, "Most likely he was just curious that someone like you existed. In particular, you achieved success in as fast as two weeks."
