"You don't need to be so shocked, Old Man. I saved you from death; that's much more surprising, isn't it? Besides, who could perform such an act? But, let's not dwell on that; let's go back to the young girl who poisoned you. You should contact her immediately and track her whereabouts. She's probably waiting for news of your death. The poison she put in your drink will likely cause you to lose consciousness, and if you're unconscious while driving... Boom!" Andrew clasped his hands together, simulating a car crash. "If an accident happens, it will surely be covered on TV. I bet she's now standing by the TV waiting for that news."The old man appeared skeptical of Andrew's words, but there was also a glimmer of trust in his eyes. Andrew's presented facts were like well-grounded nonsense."What if you're lying and mistaken?" the old man asked.Andrew folded his arms across his chest and raised both eyebrows nonchalantly. The doubt of anyone he faced seemed to fuel his determination to
The call from Calvin was answered by Andrew just as he arrived at William's mansion. Andrew immediately stepped aside to one of the trees outside the mansion's grounds and answered the call."Yup, Calvin, what's up? How's your case going? Do I have to come back and take responsibility for all the mistakes I made?""I'm calling to ask you when the dinner will be held."A wide smile appeared on Andrew's face as he listened to Calvin's statement. Those words were like a door prize. His impromptu plan had worked, and it was really beneficial for him."Okay, first, I want you to say thank you first because this offer refers to my success in making you understand the person who wanted to plan your murder, right?"A long sigh could be heard from the other end of the phone. "Yes, I admit you're really amazing. Although I don't know what you did to find clues if Nania was really planning something bad against me. I hope you want to tell me about it later, as it's beyond comprehension.""I told
Andrew looked visibly annoyed as he and Marcel arrived at the courtyard of the late Smith's mining company. It wasn't without reason; he was feeling irritated due to the lingering fatigue in his body. Despite traveling by private jet and luxury car, jet lag still affected him. It was still early in the day, around 8 am."It should have been at 10 am. Don't you feel jet lag, Marcel?" Andrew complained."You'll get used to it, Mr. Andrew. You'll be traveling here frequently once this becomes your company, right?" Marcel replied with a smile that only irritated Andrew further. His attention was then drawn to a message that came in from Erica."Have you arrived? Call me.""Yes, tonight," Andrew replied to the message and put his phone away.As they entered the diamond mining area owned by the late Smith, Andrew's eyes were immediately drawn to a woman with long, fiery ginger hair. She was wearing a black shirt and a matching skirt, with a cigarette held between her fingers."Who is that w
Two black jeeps entered the mining area at high speed. A total of twelve tough-looking adult men got out of each vehicle, armed with long-barreled rifles. Some of them immediately spread out throughout the mining area, while others stood guard near the cars. Only two of them approached the building where Andrew, Marcel, and Smith's mistress, Ivanka, were located.One of the sturdy men with black sunglasses flicked their cigarette butt right in front of the entrance. He turned to his companion standing next to him. "Always keep your weapon ready, don't be careless. We could die if we can't save Ivanka.""Sure, Boss, besides, weaklings like them won't stand a chance against us. There are only three of them, after all," the other man replied.Marcel welcomed their arrival and opened the door, saying, "Welcome, let's talk."The two men exchanged glances and followed Marcel's lead as he walked towards the elevator. They chose the second floor, and no further conversation took place. The te
"Marcel, call the driver who brought us here and ask him to come with two staff members or whoever is available here. We need to tie up these two fools.""Ugh!"Andrew pressed his foot on Peacock's back, causing him more pain."Argh! Damn it! You guys were hired to protect me, and yet you were defeated and incapacitated by a man whose body is even..." Ivanka's sentence was cut off when a bullet struck a painting on the wall, causing it to fall and shatter."Do you want your mouth to end up like that?" Andrew stared at Ivanka with a flat expression. "I'm still hesitant to be violent towards you because you're a woman, but don't think I'm not willing to make you regret it.""H-hey, c-can you p-please get off my back? I can't breathe!" Peacock gasped, asking Andrew to move away."Get lost, fool! Don't let him die! I don't want to support his family!" Ivanka panicked, shouting at Andrew.Andrew chuckled, then moved away from Peacock's back and approached Ivanka, keeping his pistol pointed
"So, I think everything is clear now. You are not allowed to come here and claim that this company belongs to you. Tell your boss, if he disagrees, he can meet us here. But remember! Only your boss, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, especially you!" Ivanka pointed angrily at Andrew, a sly smile on her face."Say whatever you want, but one thing is certain, this company is ours. Go ahead and satisfy your desires, thinking that we will lose." Andrew replied casually.The conversation was cut short when Peacock arrived with five of his men armed with long-barreled weapons."Take them all to the car. I want them locked up in my mansion. They'll meet Adam there," Ivanka instructed Peacock.Andrew and the others were forcibly and roughly dragged away by the armed men. They complied, following the men with resignation. Marcel glanced at Andrew with concern in his eyes, but Andrew just smiled confidently. He still believed he could overcome all of this."Hey, Peacock," And
Pale faces could be seen on Ivanka and the staff member who was still staying with them. They sat weakly in front of the glass door, watching Marcel, Andrew's driver, Peacock, and one remaining member clean up the nine bodies in front of the building.Not only Ivanka but the staff member felt the same way. The difference was that Ivanka was afraid for the business ownership, while the staff member was terrified seeing the pile of bodies."Stay calm, I'll give you compensation for what you've witnessed today. I'm sorry for making you stay with us." Andrew patted the staff member's shoulder with a warm smile."That warm smile can't change the fact that you're truly insane. I mean, I'm really grateful that you saved me, but I can't deny the fact that you just killed nine people in an instant!" The staff member trembled intensely.Ivanka took a deep breath and turned to both of them. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she said, "This company truly belongs to me, please stop messing everyth
Andrew returned to the room where Ivanka was still sitting, staring blankly outside. However, his first goal was not Ivanka; it was the staff man who lay limp on the floor, crying continuously."Wake up," Andrew nudged the staff man's leg. "Go with the car outside, my driver and guard will take you home. Contact me later tonight or when you feel calm, give me your data so I can send you money, but don't give it to the two people who accompany you, ever." Andrew handed a business card to the staff man.The weak staff man immediately got up and took the business card. He looked at Andrew with eyes filled with fear. "Did I hear you correctly? Can I really leave from here?""Go, before I get annoyed looking at that your weird expression, I hate it."The staff man hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the room. Andrew watched him sharply and didn't realize that Ivanka was also about to step out of the room."Hey, Ivanka, wait."Andrew grabbed Ivanka's hand, but she roughly pushed him away a
