2023-06-14 14:25:09"Your name is Vincent William. Right?" The man confirmed it again. Vincent nodded slowly and said yes.
"Excuse me, who are you, sir?" Vincent asked.
The old man smiled at Vincent. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Unexpectedly, we met here. All is God's destiny."
Vincent did not understand what the old man was saying to him. "Do you know me, sir?"
"Come with me, son! I'll explain it to you in the car," the old man said. Vincent complied. He didn't dare refuse the old man's request.
From his appearance, Vincent could tell right away. If the old man was someone Vincent had known before. However, in this confusing situation, Vincent's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't think clearly. Or just remember someone's name.
Don't you know who I am?" asked the old man as he watched Vincent who was still confused by this situation.
"My name is Eduardo. I've been wanting to meet you for a while. Didn't you graduate with the highest grade in your college?" The old man knew everything about Vincent.
'Who is that old man?' Vincent thought. He was getting more and more curious.
"Why didn't you answer my question?"
"Yes, you're right," Vincent replied. He was confused when answering the conglomerate man's question.
"Are you still diligently sending job applications to companies that have rejected you?"
Vincent smiled wryly as he lowered his gaze in shame. Mr Eduardo knew that too. My God, that's so embarrassing, Vincent thought. He felt inferior in front of the great and wonderful Mr Eduardo.
"Starting tomorrow, work in my company. I've prepared an important position for you. As Vice President and my right-hand man," Mr Eduardo offered.
"Vice President?" Vincent widened his eyes in surprise.
"Me?" Vincent still did not believe Mr Eduardo's words.
"That's right. You're the one, Vin. The one who will inherit my company in the future. Because you are honest, smart, and have the soul of a leader. I've been watching you for a long time. Since you were in college," Mr Eduardo explained. Vincent turned his head.
"Perhaps, you are that benefactor, sir? Are you the one?" Vincent was surprised.
Vincent remembered the benefactor who had helped him with his education at university. However, at that time Vincent had never been told about the mysterious benefactor who had been helping him.
Mr Eduardo told Vincent everything. He said that when Vincent went to university, he was the one who gave Vincent a full scholarship until he finished his studies.
Since his parents were killed in a traffic accident ten years ago, Mr Eduardo had been Vincent's guardian. He paid for all of Vincent's education after his parents died.
Mr Eduardo was attracted to Vincent's determined and unyielding personality. Apart from being a genius, Mr Eduardo also groomed Vincent to lead his company in the future. That's the reason why Vincent was not accepted to work in any company. It was all because of Mr Eduardo, who wanted Vincent to occupy the highest position in his company.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, sir?" Vincent was still shocked by Mr Eduardo's explanation.
"I'm sorry, Vin. I just want you to focus on your studies. I don't want to burden you with company business. Although at the time, my company really needed you," explained Mr Eduardo.
Vincent understood now. However, for him this was unbelievable. How was it possible and how could he suddenly become so rich overnight? Mr Eduardo had given him a fortune and all the company's assets at both headquarters and branches. Soon these valuable assets would be his. However, there were conditions that Vincent had to fulfil for Mr Eduardo.
"What are the conditions, sir?" Vincent wanted to know.
"Get ready. In a few days I will introduce you to my daughter. After that, I'll tell you the conditions," Mr Eduardo told him. He seemed very mysterious and Vincent found it difficult to understand the old man's intentions in wanting him to be the rightful heir to his fortune.
***
At exactly 8am, a luxury car pulled up in front of the courtyard of an office building. The well-dressed young man who got out of the car immediately ordered the security guard to park his car. Then, he entered the building.
All the employees in the big company were stunned to see the handsome and dashing man walking striding into the office building. There were a lot of them whispering at this moment, trying to figure out who the young man was.
Vincent was welcomed by the higher-ups in the company. Including Mr Eduardo who greeted him with a warm hug, like a father to his son, followed by a round of applause from the other shareholders present.
Today, Vincent was appointed by Mr Eduardo as Vice President Director. Not only that, he also becomes Mr Eduardo's right-hand man from now on. The important announcement has now spread to the head office and all branch offices headed by Mr Eduardo.
"Congratulations Vin," said Mr Eduardo as he greeted him. Vincent shook Mr Eduardo's hand politely.
"Thank you, sir," Vincent replied briefly.
After officially becoming Vice President, Vincent was accompanied by his personal secretary, Alvin, on a tour of the office. The employees were stunned to see Vincent as their new boss.
When they went around accompanied by Alvin, Edward and Emma, who happened to be in the same office, they were astonished by Vincent's drastic change.
Emma was stunned to see the new look of her former lover who was now transformed into a super great person. Even better than Edward, her new lover.
"Vin!" called Emma.
Vincent and Alvin looked back, right at Emma. How presumptuous of her! That woman dared to call her superior's name directly in front of the other employees.
"Is it really you, Vin?" Edward confirmed it again. "Impossible," he muttered.
"Vin, is it true you're going to be working here?" Emma asked as she approached Vincent in the office corridor. She looked shocked to learn that Vincent had such an important position in the office. Her face turned instantly pale. Her tone of voice faltered.
"Be careful, Miss! Watch your language! The young master is your superior now," Alvin warned Emma.
"Oh, sorry," Emma regretted. After being warned, Emma also looked down in shame. From now on, she couldn't freely look at her former lover's face anymore.
"Young Master, do you know them?" Alvin asked. He turned to Vincent who was still watching Emma.
Emma's hands and feet were trembling. Apparently, she regretted something to Vincent. About what she said yesterday.
"I don't know. I forgot," Vincent replied briefly. He left the two people who had insulted and humiliated him yesterday. Alvin soon followed behind Vincent.
"Forgot? We were at the coffee shop yesterday. Back then, you didn't look as great as you do now, Vin," Edward reminded again. His tone was not very polite when dealing with the Vice President.
Vincent stopped his steps. He turned around and took a few steps closer to Edward. The two tall men were now facing each other like they were about to have a duel.

"Thank you for reminding me what happened yesterday. I will never forget that incident. One punch from you means nothing to me.

Edward was rather frightened to hear Vincent sacking him."Should I kneel down and prostrate myself before you to get forgiveness?"Edward's tone and demeanour instantly turned formal in front of the Vice President. Too late! Vincent was not easily provoked by his sycophantic ways."Go away! Scum like you don't belong in my company. The stench is too strong for me to let you hang around here," Vincent quipped as he lashed out at Edward. Emma screamed hysterically as she saw Vincent hit Edward."You saw that!

You will die," Milea threatened.The man wasn't afraid of Milea's threat at all. Moreover, the woman seemed to be trembling as she said it."I just need your money, Milea. Give it to me quickly, otherwise I will spread your vulgar video all over the internet," the man threatened."What a loser! How dare you threaten me," Milea taunted while looking away."After your video goes viral, what will your father do to you? Maybe he'll throw you out and kick you off the family inheritance list."

Vincent managed to find Milea in the city park. She was walking slowly and sitting on a swing near the playground where children usually play in the park. Her gaze was blank and she looked very sad. She was still thinking about the incident with her ex-boyfriend."Milea!" Vincent exclaimed as he approached her. Milea turned to him."Why can you always find me Vin?" Milea was surprised. She hurriedly wiped her tears that fell on her cheeks."Is my dad telling you to keep an eye on me now?" Milea guessed."Let's go home!" invited Vincent. He ignored Milea's question."I don't want to," Milea refused, looking away."We should go home first," Vincent persuaded. Milea did not say yes to Vincent's invitation."Your father is very worried about you, Milea," Vincent informed her. However, Milea did not take Vincent's word for it."I don't want to go home. My father has taken my place with you. Now, you are his son," Milea reasoned. However, the reasoning put forward by the spoilt child did no

He was going to redevelop his app. The one he had been working on.Vincent took another look at the microchip model he had just bought this afternoon via an online shop. He would put a microchip of his creation in Milea's mobile phone system. The microchip would function as a radar to track Milea's whereabouts.For hours, Vincent was still in front of his laptop. In fact, night had already turned into morning. Vincent hadn't slept all night. Today, he would test his microchip on Milea's mobile phone."Milea!" called Vincent. When they passed each other, Milea happened to have just come out of her room. She was about to head to the dining room to have breakfast with her father."Can I see your phone?

In fact, she seemed to have barged into Vincent's room without permission. Suddenly, she was stopped by several security guards, right in front of Vincent's office.What's going on? Why isn't Milea allowed in? She asked in surprise. Because Alvin ordered the security guards to tighten the security around the Vice President's room."Move aside!" ordered Milea rather fiercely at the two security guards standing in front of Vincent's office door."Sorry, Miss! Young Master Vincent does not allow you to enter his office," the security guards respectfully forbade in front of Milea."What did you say?" Milea was furious.

Lorenzo's Betrayal
“Don't be rash, Vin!” Ryuga warned.“I know. I'm not that stupid,” Vincent retorted.“So, what's your plan?” asked Ryuga.“I don't know where Kazuto got all this information? Didn't we protect the security system?” Vincent was confused.“Do you suspect someone like I think right now?” Ryuga smiled somewhat sarcastically in response to Vincent's conclusion.“I don't know. I'm not sure,” replied Vincent who was still shrouded in indecision.***At the Ryuujin-kai base, now housed in Nakamura's residence, tension filled the room as Vincent, Nakamura, Valeria, and the other clan leaders eyed Lorenzo suspiciously. Information that should have been confidential had instead leaked into Kazuto's hands, and there was only one possibility: there was a traitor among them.“Lorenzo...” Nakamura squinted, his voice sharp as a dagger ready to stab the Italian mafia man. “What exactly are you hiding from us?”Lorenzo remained calm, but there was tension in his jaw. “I don't know what you're talking
Kazuto's Overthrow Strategy
“We're changing our strategy. It looks like a trap,” Vincent concluded. After he saw Milea being held hostage by Kazuto.“In that case, we return to the headquarters at my residence. Don't act rashly since Milea is in Kazuto's hands right now.” Nakamura agreed. He quickly turned right and returned to the base.Inside the room was dimly lit, illuminated only by the bluish glow of a large computer screen transmitting a digital map of the harbour. The subtle hum of the electronics combined with the sound of Lorenzo's fingers tapping on the keyboard. The smell of stale coffee and metal filled the air around them, adding to the sense of tension that hung between them.Vincent stood with both hands resting on the desk, his jaw hardened as he stared at the screen. His eyes were sharp, full of anxiety that he tried to hide.“How's it going, Vin?” asked Ryuga.“We don't have much time,” Vincent said finally, his voice that of someone under stress. “Kazuto knows we're after him, and now he has
Creating Hell for Kazuto
“Welcome, Vin,” greeted Lorenzo, who was now leaning on the table with a sly smile of satisfaction. “You really know how to make a scene, Vin.”Next to him, Valeria crossed her legs with a small grin. “I was expecting you to come, Vin. You're... too stubborn,” the mafia lady remarked.Vincent snorted, no longer surprised to see them all here. Lorenzo, Valeria, and Nakamura. The three figures who had been a thorn in his side, it turned out they were all in cahoots behind the scenes.Nakamura, who was standing by the window, finally spoke up. “I knew you'd find this place, Vin.” He turned around, his gaze sharp. “Do you miss your wife that much?”Vincent took a deep breath before answering, “I don't care about your games. I don't care about what you've been planning all along. But there is one enemy we must conquer.”The room fell silent for an instant. “And I know you all also want to see Kazuto fall.”Among the three people, only Lorenzo responded to Vincent's conversation. It was cer
Counterattack from the Allies
In an underground bunker hidden in the city centre, Vincent stood still. He always found a place for himself to hide from both Lorenzo and the Ryuujin-kai.“I was their target from the start. Damn it!” Vincent threw everything around him in annoyance.The blue light of the computer screens around him flickered, clearly drawing the image on his tense face. A message that had just appeared on the screen was still glowing, the letters feeling like a blow that shattered his wall of faith. Behind it was a special symbol that reminded him of a name. Kazuto.[Give up, Vin!]“That symbol is ....”His hands gripped the table firmly, his breathing short and rather heavy. No way. Kazuto was already dead. He saw for himself the explosion that destroyed the laboratory where they were studying all those years ago. However, if Kazuto was really alive...The sound of footsteps quickly approached Vincent. His assistant appeared from behind the door with a serious expression.“Sir, we have a problem. T
Back to Starting Point
“Ryuga, I can't run anymore,” Milea complained. Her chest still felt tight.“Does your breathing hurt?” Ryuga panicked after seeing his cousin's pale face. He knew full well Milea was still sick. The shortness of breath caused by the poisonous gas made her weak and unable to run.“I'll get help,” said Ryuga, who immediately called someone.Blood was pouring from Ryuga's temple, but he didn't care. His breathing was ragged, his left hand still tightly grasping the arm of Milea who was now breathlessly running by his side. Behind them, the roar of footsteps was getting closer, the sound of shouting and the whizzing of bullets echoed in the dark hallway they were passing through.“Looks like we still have some running to do, Milea! Are you up to it?” asked Ryuga before pulling her faster.Milea was still clutching around her chest, barely able to catch her breath. Her body was already very tired, her heart racing in panic from the pursuit of Lorenzo's men. However, she knew that they had
Shadows of the Past
“Vin, where are you?” Milea woke up from her sleep. She looked around, there was no one in the hospital room.Milea began to feel uncomfortable in the hospital. Her every move was being closely monitored, and the nurses who came into her room felt unfamiliar, as if they weren't just ordinary medical personnel. Her instincts told her there was danger lurking.“Who are they?” muttered Milea. She had to be wary of strangers.“Excuse me, is my husband here?” she asked the nurse.“No, Madam,” the nurse replied.Milea didn't ask any more questions. She knew Vincent was probably very busy out there. She would wait for him, if necessary she would stay up late into the night.That night, when the hospital seemed quiet, a man snuck into her room. Milea was startled, about to scream, but he quickly put his hand over her mouth.“Calm down, Milea. I'm here to help you,” he whispered.Milea looked at him warily. “Ryuga?”The man smiled faintly. “Yes. Your cousin came to rescue you.”Milea smiled sa
Fragile Enemy Alliances
“Hold on, we'll be at the hospital soon,” Vincent told Milea, who had just woken up from her stupor. Milea's body condition was very weak due to inhaling too much poisonous gas.Milea's breathing was laboured. “Vin, hurry up!”Vincent stepped deeply on the accelerator, his car travelling faster than ever before, cutting through the city streets that seemed indifferent to his panic. On the side seat, Milea was still breathing heavily, her fingers gripping Vincent's arm with all the strength she had left.“Vin ....” Her breathing was heavy, her eyes were wide, and her face looked deathly pale. The poisonous gas that Milea had inhaled had made her body seem to rebel.“We're almost there!” Vincent shouted, his voice full of anxiety.Up ahead, the red light was already on, but Vincent didn't care. The horns of other cars roared angrily, but to him only one thing mattered: his wife had to be safe. He turned the car roughly, the wheels screeching when he finally reached the hospital grounds.
The Secret Trail in Italy
The next day, Vincent embarks on a dangerous journey to Italy. He wants to uncover the truth that has been hidden behind the long conflict involving his father and Lorenzo Piero.There, Vincent meets a secretive old friend of his father's, an elderly man named Alessandro Moretti. He had obtained the man's personal data from a system he had been investigating. With a sharp look in his eyes, Alessandro warns Vincent that Lorenzo is just a puppet in a bigger game.“Be careful, son!” Alessandro admonished. “There is someone behind the scenes, someone more dangerous than you can imagine,” the man added again, this time in a low voice.Vincent frowned. “Who is that person, Sir?” he wondered, curious.Alessandro sighed rather heavily. “They call him Kurokami, the shadow of Ryuujin-kai. No one knows his face, but every mess, every murder, always ends with his name whispered in the attack.”“Kurokami?” repeated Vincent with a confused murmur. ‘Does it have something to do with Nakamura?’“Yes,
Welcome to the End Game
“Who are they and what do they have to do with me, with all this?” Vincent was confused. He was overwhelmed as he pulled out the threads that connected the names of the mafia on the whiteboard.“Milea, hang on a little longer,” said Vincent, who was still fiddling with his laptop.Vincent's phone rang. He glanced at it. Lorenzo's name was calling out on his screen. Shit! He thought.“Vin, where are you?” asked Lorenzo on the other line.Vincent said nothing, not wanting to tell Lorenzo where he was. He also changed the subject.“Tell your ex-wife, if she hurts my wife... I'll kill her,” Vincent threatened.“What do you mean?” Lorenzo had no idea what Vincent was talking about.“Valeria Del Piero, she's... your ex-wife, right?” said Vincent.Lorenzo was silent for a long time. Finally, Vincent hung up first. Now, Vincent knew Lorenzo's only weakness.***“Shit!” Milea complained. She held her breath as she stood in the corner of the dimly lit room. Her heart was racing, holding somethi
