After warning Edward, Vincent left the coffee shop. Then, he walked back to the parking lot. In the car, Milea was waiting for him.
This afternoon they would go home together to Milea's house. Vincent was eager to meet Mr. Eduardo.
Arriving at Mr. Eduardo's residence, Milea went into his house first to change clothes. Meanwhile, Vincent would greet Mr. Eduardo in his private room.
"I won't be long," Milea promised.
"Hurry up, I want to spend time with you tonight," Vincent replied with a smile.
After Milea went to her room to change, Vincent went to see Mr. Eduardo. The old man was sitting in the garden looking at his bonsai plants, facing the sunset.
Vincent walked slowly up to Mr. Eduardo so as not to startle him.
Mr. Eduardo's face looked fresh and radiant that afternoon. Vincent, however, looked the opposite. Sad. When he approached and sat next to him, Mr. Eduardo walked away.
"Who are you, son?" asked Mr. Eduardo somewhat
DOOORR!A bullet took off, almost hitting the target's body. The sniper was aiming for Edward as his target. Luckily, he quickly dodged and the bullet did not hurt his body.Vincent immediately approached Edward. Edward's face looked pale after the incident happened to him, just now."Did someone just shoot me?" Edward was shocked. He couldn't believe it. But Vincent's words were true.There was a stray bullet that almost pierced Edward's right arm."I told you, be careful, don't let your guard down!" Vincent reminded him again. Edmund and Claudia were equally surprised."That was... Edward will be shot by those people, right?" Claudia was immediately frightened. Her hands and feet were shaking as she witnessed the incident with Edward.Edward's heart was racing. He would have almost lost his life if Vincent had not prevented it immediately.You bastard! Vincent snorted in annoyance. This must all be the Black Knight's doing, h
Milea gave up after hearing the doctor's explanation about Mr. Eduardo's illness, which had reached the final stage. She lost her spirit now. Luckily, when she was down, Vincent was there to accompany her."Milea," Vincent said softly. He calmed Milea's heart who was already desperate to hear the doctor's decision."Vin, I don't wanna lose my dad," Milea whined with tears in her eyes."I don't wanna lose Mr. Eduardo either. Calm down, Milea. I'll always be by your side. Let's handle this together," Vincent consoled.Vincent brought Milea to sit on a long chair after coming out of the doctor's room."I'll buy you a drink. Would you like a soft drink or instant coffee?" Vincent offered."I don't want anything," Milea refused."Oh, okay."Vincent understood perfectly that Milea was not in the mood at the moment. However, his fiancée had not eaten anything since earlier.Vincent was worried that Milea's body would drop. Then collapse. He didn't want that to happen to Milea."I'll buy you
Edward continues to push Vincent to tell him about the banned organisation, Black Knight. He hopes to get as much information as possible about the organisation that threatens his life from Vincent. Unfortunately, Vincent was silent when Edward forced him to talk."I can't tell you," Vincent said. Edward was rather disappointed to hear that."You bastard!" Edward snorted in annoyance. Because his plan to get information from Vincent was not realised."You'd better find out about them yourself. I can't tell," Vincent suggested.Vincent walked away leaving Edward still standing there confused.What should Edward do now? How can he find out about the movements of the banned organisation? He knew that his skills were not as good as Vincent's. The one who knew about the Black Knight first.Vincent continued to walk away from Edward. No matter how hard Edward tried to force Vincent to talk, it was in vain. Vincent couldn't say it. Because it violates the rules.If Vincent divulged the Black
Vincent went to check again. If it was true that Edward was messing with him again, it would be the end of his history. He'd be furious if a fake hacker tried to hack into his company's security system.'That guy is looking to die on purpose,' Vincent grumbled."Damn it! What does he want?" Vincent snorted in annoyance. Just messing with people.Before leaving to pick up Milea at her house, Vincent checked his company's personal data in secret with Alvin. He wanted to make sure that no other hackers could break into his company's security system.Five minutes. Ten minutes. By the time thirty minutes had passed, Vincent hadn't finished blocking the hacker's account. He was already a bit agitated. Every minute he glanced at his watch. Milea must have been waiting for him for a long time."Sir, look at that!" Alvin pointed at the computer screen Vincent was using."Damn it! He's trying to play me on purpose. Well, if that's what he wants, I'll gladly oblige him."Vincent followed the mov
"Vin, how is this? I'm so scared," Milea panicked. She hid behind Vincent's back.Vincent didn't know what was going on down there either. Could it be a power failure? Or the engine suddenly stalled. Or broken. Or what?Vincent couldn't guess right now. What was clear was that both of them were panicking at the moment. They were at the top of the Ferris wheel.DOOORRR!There was an explosion down there."What was that, Vin?" Milea is getting scared." It's nothing," Vincent consoled her again.Just look up into the sky! Vincent distracted Milea. There were a lot of fireworks scattered up there. Maybe it's the sound of fireworks exploding, Vincent thought."I told you earlier. I don't wanna go on this ride, Vin. Now that it's like this, how can we get off?" Milea was upset. She was blaming Vincent now.Vincent too, why did he have to take Milea on a date to a night theme park? On a ride that was quite dangerous too. In a situation like this, what should have been romantic became a stre
Vincent faintly heard a voice calling him from down there. It seemed to be Alvin's voice, he shouted."ALVIN!" Vincent shouted back while waving his hand."Vin, are you sure it's Alvin? Maybe it's the bad guy who made that gunshot," Milea wondered. She also told Vincent to be careful."I think that's Alvin's voice. His voice is very distinctive. Screeching," Vincent assured Milea. This time, Milea would just believe him."You're right, Vin. Alvin's voice is weird," Milea agreed.Not long after, the sirens of fire trucks approached the Ferris wheel. They mobilized the firefighters to help Vincent and Milea who were trapped on the ride.Victor assigned the firefighters to rescue Milea first. After that, Vincent. Alvin frowned.Why not do it at the same time? There's a SAR team too, right? Alvin suggested.For him, Vincent's safety was more important. If something happened to Vincent, Alvin wouldn't be able to get paid on time.Ah, right. What a cheapskate! Victor understood what Alvin m
Vincent was rushed to the hospital. The situation was getting more and more urgent."Hurry up! Hurry!" the medics got out of the ambulance, took Vincent out of the car and brought him into the emergency room.Arriving at the emergency room, several resident doctors immediately took Vincent to the operating room. Milea, Victor, and Alvin could only wait for him in the waiting room. They were anxious and panicked over the incident that happened to Vincent today.Milea was seen pacing back and forth in front of Victor and Alvin."Milea, sit down!" Victor said. His head was spinning seeing Milea like a hot iron going back and forth in front of him."How can I sit down? I'm really worried about Vin right now," Milea huffed as she reasoned.Victor was surprised to see Milea's reaction. He couldn't accept that Milea was angry with him like that.However, Victor was the only one of Vincent's family here. Everyone was very sensitive about this incident. Including Alvin."Stop it already! You c
"What do you want to know about that damned organization?" asked Milea suddenly.Oops! Looks like Milea slipped up. She had just sworn about the Black Knight. Of course that caught Edward's attention at the moment."I thought you knew about the organization from Vin, right?" guessed Edward firmly.Milea fumbled and blundered in front of Edward."That organization is very dangerous. That's all I know from Vin. The rest, I don't know," Milea denied."Don't lie, Milea! Vin must have told you everything. Tell me everything you know about them!" Edward urged. He became impatient waiting for Milea to continue her sentence.When Milea was in distress, Alvin immediately came to see her in the hospital room. While bringing her the food that had been ordered earlier."Miss Milea," Alvin approached. Edward hurriedly hid the penknife and put it back into his black shirt pocket.Alvin looked suspiciously at Edward as the man who had threatened Milea turned around, facing him. Edward smiled somewha
The next day Vincent went to see Edmund at the New York embassy. Edmund was not the only one there. However, other important officials were also gathered there to discuss something with Vincent, related to the illegal organisation, Black Knight, which he had destroyed.Vincent fulfilled the invitation of high-ranking officials from various countries. They will also discuss cooperation between countries. Vincent's opportunity to spread his wings in the digital business world was even wider.Vincent's name was increasingly recognised around the world. Many high-ranking officials from various countries want to work with him.Vincent has also successfully developed an application to help the police. Thanks to his success, he got richer and became the number 1 most influential person in the world."How about it Vin, are you interested in joining one of them?" asked Edmund. He approached Vincent during the luncheon."For now, I'm not going to accept any offers. I'll just go on vacation with
"Vin is still inside." Milea was hysterical and she asked Victor and Alvin for help."Al, please save him!" she begged while crying.Victor and Alvin understood Milea's feelings at the moment. They both lowered their gaze. Apparently, Vincent was hopeless. The Black Knight headquarters had exploded. Destroyed to pieces."No! Are you guys just going to give up and not save him?" Milea fumed."It's not like that. Calm down, Milea," Victor calmed her down. Milea was in hysterics and was banging lightly on Victor's arm."Help him, please ...." Milea stood limply. Her leg that had been hit by hot lead was now in pain again."Miss Milea, you should have your leg treated first," Alvin distracted her."No need! I'll go back to save Vin if you guys won't help him," Milea insisted. She walked back to the scene.Victor grabbed Milea's hand and prevented her from leaving. "Vin will survive," he said, comforting Milea.Milea didn't believe him until she proved it to herself. She left on hobbling l
Three hours earlier...Vincent had prepared a plan with Victor and Alvin before entering the Black Knight headquarters. Victor and Alvin had placed explosives around the Black Knight headquarters. At that time, Vincent had difficulty penetrating Black Knight's security system.After several times observing how Black Knight's security system worked and watching the headquarters, Vincent found a gap in their weaknesses. He crossed the line and managed to break into the security system. This was very favourable for Vincent.Vincent shared it with Alvin. Now, it was Alvin who Vincent entrusted to rummage through his system without Black Knight's knowledge.Soon, the Black Knight will appear on the surface of the world with all its destruction. So that the world knows the rottenness of the black organisation in action. Vincent could be sure that it would happen one day. At this moment, the time will soon come.Vincent would become the Black Knight's decoy. He would turn himself in accordin
It's bad! Milea is being held hostage by the Black Knight. At first, Vincent was going to take Xalvador's life. However, seeing the Black Knight pointing a gun right at Milea's head, made Vincent undo his intentions."Let her go!" Vincent ordered."I won't. This woman will die at the hands of the Black Knight," said Xalvador."Give up, Vin!" Xalvador said again. He was eager to see Vincent surrender and submit to the Black Knight."Give up, you say?" Vincent was still optimistic. He could definitely eradicate the Black Knight to the end."Don't do it Vin!" Milea warned. "Don't listen to what they say!""From the beginning, the Black Knight has been after you. You're one of us. Even if I don't get that genius brain of yours, you will be forever bound to us," said Xalvador."Hah, seriously! Tied up with you guys?" sneered Vincent, mocking him."Yes. Join us, and the two of us will rule the world. What do you think?" Xalvador offered.It was a very attractive offer. Unfortunately, Vincen
Doctor Sergio's brain transplant surgery has come to a successful conclusion. It was almost perfect, without the slightest margin for error.A few hours after the operation, Big Boss Black Knight had recovered. Now the forty-eight-year-old man was reborn in a new body."Welcome back Mister Xalvador," greeted one of Black Knight's top brass to Mr X in the VVIP ward of the hospital where he was being treated.Mr X was sitting in a wheelchair with his back to the Black Knight officials who had come to see him face-to-face with the Big Boss.Mr X, who was looking at the cityscape through the glass window of his hospital room, got up from his seat. Then, he turned around and looked at his subordinates one by one.Mr X, whose name was Xalvador, was an American man of Spanish descent. He was well-built, his posture was towering, and he was handsome despite his age. The man had been asleep for a long time in a special room with a low temperature below average.Before being resurrected, Xalvad
Edmund immediately took Vincent to the hospital. There, Victor and Alvin had already prepared a plan to distract him.That night, when Vincent entered the operating room, Victor and Alvin were already on guard. They disguised themselves as resident doctors and swapped Vincent for someone else's corpse.Victor and Alvin planned to transfer Vincent to another hospital without Edmund's knowledge after the operation. They rushed Vincent into the ambulance, a few hours after the operation.After the operation, sad news came to Edmund. A doctor told him that Vincent could not be saved during the operation. Edmund was so shocked to hear it.Not only that, at the same time, Edmund was also told by the doctor treating Claudia. His niece had suffered a heart attack and breathed her last about five minutes ago."No way!" regretted Edmund. He became discouraged after hearing the news that two people he loved so much had left him.Edmund regretted his ac
Edmund immediately asked Milea how Claudia was. She looked panicked after the shooting. He also hasn't had a chance to see his niece's condition. Because Victor had taken her to the hospital.Edmund was Claudia's only family. Of course she was so worried about her niece's condition."Claudia is being examined by the doctor, Mr Edmund. Be patient, they'll let us know soon," Milea said soothingly to Edmund.Not long after, one of the resident doctors informed them that Claudia had to be operated on immediately. They had to inform the family first so that they could follow up immediately.Edmund allowed it. No matter what happens, Claudia must live. He asked the doctor to save his niece immediately.Edmund looked desperate. Milea and Victor can understand that. Edmund is still traumatised after losing his brother, Edward. Now he has to add Claudia to the mix.Speaking of Vincent, Victor said that Vincent would soon clean up this mess."Do you trust him now?" Milea began to doubt Vincent.
Black Knight ordered Vincent to make a hostage swap in the early evening with Edmund. He couldn't help but think that he himself was being used as Black Knight's accomplice."You must take Doctor Sergio alive. Understood?" said Mr X to Vincent.'Hah, crazy bastard!' Vincent cursed to himself.If that was the case, then Vincent wanted to go see Milea first. He wanted to make sure it was true that she was their hostage. Or was it just a trick of the Black Knight to deceive him."I want to see my fiancée. Where is she hiding?" Vincent asked.The Black Knight had guessed, Vincent would definitely do it. Moreover, the stakes were the woman he loved so much. He could do nothing but resignedly accept the situation. Black Knight's strategy worked. Vincent would definitely submit to his orders.After meeting Mr X at his headquarters, Vincent was led by Black Knight's bodyguards to meet Milea and her two female friends somewhere.BRAAAAKKKK!The metal door of a secret room was opened. Vincent s
A man blindly beat Claudia to a pulp. Was he out of his mind? Milea couldn't just ignore it. This violated the code of conduct for violence against a woman.Milea ran up to the man and retaliated against his behaviour towards Claudia. She hit him with all her might."Die, you loser!" Milea screamed. She hit him again relentlessly.Milea hit the man with the wooden block in her hand. That man should feel the consequences, she thought. She beat the man mercilessly.Not only his body was the target of Milea's fury. She also hit the man's precious heirlooms with thick wood. The blows were so hard and enough to render the man helpless."YOU'RE DEAD!" Milea screamed. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR A ROTTEN MAN LIKE YOU!""Aaaarrrrrgggghhh!" moaned the shameless man in pain.Thank goodness! Milea was relieved after hitting him. She still wanted to beat him up again, it was so vengeful to see Claudia being beaten up mercilessly by that evil man."Listen, you idiot, I can be more cruel if you still
