"Do you know what kind of narcotic this is?" Aarav's question was put to Benzala as soon as he arrived at the casino headquarters.
Benzala straightened his seat after leaning against the back of the chair. His face showed curiosity as he looked at the small plastic bag of powder Aarav handed him.Without holding the small plastic bag, Benzala seemed to wonder for a few seconds. He was familiar with this type."Opium narcotics," Benzala replied. "How come you have this?""I found it in the narcotics box truck we burned yesterday," Aarav replied in a serious tone.Benzala gestured for Aarav to sit in front of him. Then when Aarav sat down, Benzala sat down, leaning toward him."Why did you bring their narcotics?" Benzala asked, concern evident in her eyes. "What if you leave a trail as the perpetrator?"It was only upon hearing Benzala's question that Aarav realized his mistake. Aarav hadn't thought about the risk ofA welcoming party for Aarav's new home.Everyone from the business community - CEOs, investors, children of company owners - including Wiliam, Hansen, and even Kate and Maddie, whom Aarav met in two clubs, were invited. Aarav deliberately brought them all together in one event at Marcolin's suggestion. There was Watson and a number of investors who were his business relations. On the first floor that stretched wide and grand, the lights resembling the feel of a discotheque floor enlivened the atmosphere. Guests had gathered and were chatting with each other. Some were walking around and approaching other guests. A few other party guests gathered in one corner of the dance floor. A special place was provided by Aarav so that guests could enjoy the music of two famous DJs. Aarav also invited guests from the media. He didn't forget the people who work to release news to get his name trending. From the large circular staircase, Aarav walked down with Marcolin. His suits on his body we
For Aarav, the familiarity of the businessmen he saw now was false. After he had greeted the important guests, Aarav stayed in one corner of the room with Marcolin. It was now an intimate chatting session with each other. All the guests were giggling, gulping down all kinds of alcohol that Aarav had provided while clinking their glasses, and taking pictures of each other. Throughout all this interaction, a sardonic smile curved across Aarav's face. Aarav took the umpteenth sip of the white wine in his hand. But his sharp gaze did not stop paying attention to the people who caught his attention one by one. "Aarav, I'm becoming more and more convinced that your father's death has something to do with their business." Aarav remembered Benzala's words. Now Aarav wondered if it was possible that some of the people on the night before Rick's death were the murderers. Unfortunately, Aarav didn't know who the people were who were with Rick that night. Aarav's gaze fell on Wiliam and Ha

There were only five minutes left to get to the stage. Now, after getting the new mission, Aarav knew exactly what he had to do. The mission asked him to share the video on his cell phone. Meanwhile, the only videos on Aarav's phone were of Ella and Wiliam. Aarav walked straight to the stage technician on the right side. Holding his cell phone tightly, Aarav was really excited to share the video of Ella and Wiliam on his cell phone. Meanwhile, from behind Aarav, Marcolin tried to catch up with his steps and tried to hold
[CONGRATULATIONS! MISSION SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED!] Just reading the caption made Aarav couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. One minute after the video of Wiliam and Ella in the Golden VVIP room was displayed, the room was filled with whispers from the elite guests. Flashes of journalists' cameras began to light up from all sides. As if getting a hot meal of news, they all rushed over to Ella and Wiliam. Unfortunately, the other guests walked backwards, avoiding Ella and Wiliam with amused expressions. Almost all investors and businessmen were reluctant to be around Ella and Wiliam since the reporters had their eyes on them. "Mr. Wiliam! What are you and Miss Ella doing in that video?!""Tell us, what is your relationship?""Has the relationship between the two of you been going on for a while? Tell us the reason why Miss Ella cheated on Mr. Ezraf!" "Miss Ella, will you and Mr. Ezraf's engagement be canceled after this video goes viral?!" All the questions coming out of e
Things were almost chaotic when Ella lunged at Aarav again. But this time her movement was blocked by Marcolin. Marcolin's power was stronger than Ella's, so he could not reach Aarav and was pushed back a few steps. "You're such an asshole, Aarav!" Ella cursed Aarav as her body struggled to break free from Marcolin's grip. "You should know that the method you're using is low!" Aarav had lowered his hands slowly and was facing Ella. Ella's words slightly offended him. But Aarav did not want to be provoked too easily. Just gave Ella a glare full of sharpness. "Are you afraid I'll make you fall?" asked Ella with a sardonic grin. Calmly, Aarav shook his head. "Isn't that you?" he asked back. "You're the one who's afraid of being knocked down by others, but you think there are still many who can protect you." Ella was still looking at Aarav in disbelief. Her breathing was unsteady as long as the emotions were still boiling in her chest. Ella's gaze was intense on Aarav, as if she want
"What are you doing, Aarav?"Aarav still did not understand why Watson and Marcolin seemed to disapprove of his actions. In fact, according to Aarav's belief, his actions were the right way to momentarily get rid of Wiliam and Ella. Aarav needed something to distract their focus so that he could execute his plan smoothly. "Your actions towards Ella and Wiliam were not appropriate," Watson continued, his voice emphatic and firm. "You should have waited for a quieter time than this. The Northlay family is already the subject of rumors of narcotics involvement, and Wiliam... oh my, Aarav..."Aarav did not relax his furrowed brows in confusion. Inappropriate? Why would his actions be called inappropriate if they were aimed at making his plan go smoothly? "I am doing this to execute my plan, Mr. Watson. Once news of the video spreads everywhere, their focus will be lost-""And you are nurturing the seeds of their anger?" asked Watson, cutting Aarav off. His gaze was so sharp and intense
Two days after the party at Aarav's new home, the shares of North Company and Anders W.I Company's subsidiaries dropped drastically. The video shared by Aarav has become a trending topic. Talk about it has not subsided from anywhere. Various articles and social media re-posted snippets of the video, making it spread very fast. There were media articles that wrote that the Northlay and George families were yet to respond to the news of Ella and Wiliam's illicit relationship. In the living room, Aarav couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on his face after reading the details of the two things. On his lap, the tablet that was left on still displayed the stock charts of North's company and George's company. "The repercussions after the video you shared have been very serious, Mr. Aarav," said Marcolin who was beside Aarav, he was also checking the progress of Aarav's restaurant's website graph. "And, from the description of The Premium Steak's website graph, the rate of website
Aarav didn't actually know how to complete the newly-emerged missions from the system. The case of project RX30. Not once had Aarav heard any news about the project case. For an hour after Aarav got the new mission from the system, he tried to find information about the project RX30 case. Unfortunately, there were no articles from any source about the project case. With one hand clenched and supporting his chin, Aarav hissed in annoyance. Since a while ago, the direction of his gaze has not stopped looking at the laptop. The rows of articles there really didn't show anything about the RX30 project case. "Why aren't there any clues in the media anywhere?" Aarav grumbled in a tone that was both annoyed and resigned. I didn't know how Aarav could find information on the project case. Until Aarav tried to change the keywords in the Google search field, in the end it always brought up different news articles. "Marcolin, do you really not know what the RX30 project is?" asked Aarav who
