"Thank you for reminding me what happened yesterday. I will never forget that incident. One punch from you means nothing to me. From now on, be prepared to receive more punches from me," Vincent challenged Edward.
"Wh-what do you mean, Vin?" Edward frowned. The man was too stupid to digest every word Vincent threw at him. He was too frightened by Vincent's threats.
Vincent flashed a mocking smile at Edward. The look in his eyes was so sharp, so vengeful that it pierced Edward's eyeballs. Vincent and Alvin didn't really care about him anymore. They immediately went to the Vice President's office.
Emma and Edward were still gawking, watching Vincent's back as he walked away from them. The two of them exchanged glances, wondering what had happened to Vincent this time.
After finding out that Vincent has full power in the company where she works, Emma now regrets that she broke off her relationship with Vincent yesterday.
"Stupid!" Emma blamed herself. She banged her forehead against the door of her office.
Arriving at the Vice President's office, Vincent was thinking of a plan to get back at Emma for betraying him. Also Edward who had dared to humiliate his pride in public. Both of them would feel the consequences.
"Young master, do you need anything?" Alvin offered.
"Bring me the profiles of the two employees. I want to see their portfolios and daily work reports," Vincent ordered.
"Yes, sir. I'll get it for you right away," Alvin complied.
Vincent sat in his oversized chair. He was looking at the huge glass window, right behind his desk. Vincent had something on his mind right now.
"It's time to pay them back for what they did to me," Vincent said with a sardonic smile.
Alvin returned to his employer's office. He handed over all the files Vincent had ordered. The files were the work reports of two of his employees, Emma and Edward. Vincent was curious about their performance. What achievements they had made for this company.
After looking through the profiles and work reports, Vincent immediately ordered Alvin to conduct a surprise inspection this afternoon. Vincent was to look directly into the workspaces of his subordinates.
"Is there something wrong with them, sir?" asked Alvin.
"I have a surprise for both of them," Vincent said.
"Surprise?" Alvin was confused.
"Just come with me later. You'll find out what I'm up to when I make a raid on these two," said Vincent. Again, he flashed his sardonic smile. This time right in front of Alvin, his secretary.
***
After lunch, Vincent, accompanied by Alvin, went round the office again. The two of them were going to conduct an 'inspection' without the knowledge of the employees.
At exactly 1pm, all employees were supposed to be at their respective workplaces, but Vincent found many employees who broke the rule. Most of them were still hanging around outside office hours.
"What the hell? Why aren't they in the office yet? Didn't break time end a few minutes ago?" Vincent was furious at Edward and Emma's empty office.
"As soon as they return, call those two people into my office! I'll give a stern warning to all undisciplined employees like them. Understood?" Vincent ordered Alvin.
"Yes, sir." Alvin immediately carried out his boss's orders. He rushed to call all the employees who had disobeyed the office hours rule.
A few minutes later, all the employees who were caught breaking the office rules had gathered in front of the Vice President's office. They looked upset, wondering what would happen to each of them after Vincent reprimanded them for their indiscipline.
It was Edward and Emma's turn to enter the Vice President's office. Vincent sat in his favourite chair with his arms crossed, watching them carefully. He was annoyed that their facial expressions looked flat. As if they were innocent.
'How annoying these two are,' Vincent thought.
"Vin, what did you call us for?" asked Emma who spoke casually. Alvin glanced at Emma. How rude! Calling her superior directly by name.
"Behave yourself, Miss!" scolded Alvin. He couldn't accept that a lowly employee like Emma dared to call his boss by name. It was unethical.
"I apologise, Mr Alvin," regretted Emma who immediately lowered her gaze. Edward smiled wryly seeing Emma, his girlfriend being reprimanded by Alvin.
"You know the rules of office hours, don't you?" Vincent asked Edward and Emma. "I don't like to see my employees who are not disciplined about time."
"We were only a few minutes late. It's also because of the traffic jam. Is that a problem?" Edward defended himself.
Edward came up with a classic excuse that only made Vincent more annoyed that the man dared to refute it.
"Of course that's a problem. Why do you have to leave the office? Can't you just take a break and have lunch at the canteen or the coffee shop around the office?" Vincent replied.
Edward was silent for a while after Vincent mentioned the coffee shop. He remembered the incident yesterday afternoon.
"That's ... because we ...." Emma tried to explain. However, Vincent interrupted her.
"I don't need your explanation. So, just shut up," Vincent interrupted. His tone of voice changed and slightly snapped at Emma.
"Rules are rules. You two can't just break the office rules for personal reasons," Vincent explained.
"Huh, so you're blaming both of us for not following the rules? Listen, Vin! We tried not to be late for work. But we didn't know that there would be problems on the way." Edward didn't accept the blame. According to him, Vincent was being too objective about his tardiness.
"Or perhaps, you deliberately want to get back at us for what we said yesterday?" Edward accused.
Vincent smiled at Edward's words. The man who had mocked Vincent was now silent. He knew the meaning of the smile on Vincent's lips.
Vincent got up from his seat. He walked over to Edward.
"You always remind me of yesterday. Should I retaliate against you now?" Vincent challenged.
Unlike Edward who fought Vincent, Emma was scared to death thinking about what sanctions she would receive after seeing Vincent get that angry with her. Especially after yesterday Emma had treated Vincent harshly.
Vincent would give Edward and Emma the punishment they deserved. He had been thinking about it for a while. The only way to get rid of a useless person like Edward who had too much behaviour and talked too much was to sack him.
"Ed! From now on you quit your job. You may leave my company," Vincent told him directly, bluntly. Without giving him a chance to correct his mistake.
"What?" Edward widened his eyes. He didn't understand Vincent's train of thought. Just because he was late for work, then Vincent sacked him outright dishonourably.
"As a leader, you've been unfair, Vin," Edward criticised."No! Don't do it, Vin!" defends Emma. Vincent only gave her a quick glance."Is there no other punishment than dismissal?" 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! Is this the loser you defended yesterday and keep comparing me to?" Vincent quipped.Emma was also shocked to hear their conversation. Alvin led Edward out of the vice president's office."Shit!" Edward grunted in annoyance after Vincent kicked him out.Now, the tall man felt hurt by Vincent's behaviou
"Don't come any closer, you bastard!" Milea half-shouted at a man who was trying to do something to her. It looked like he was going to be mean and insolent to her."What's wrong with you, sweetheart? Why are you avoiding me now?" The man continued to advance his steps, cornering Milea until she was leaning against the wall of a room."If you dare touch me, you're finished! 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." The man tried to provoke Milea. However, Milea was not afraid to fight him."Don't try to scare me! That video is just an edit. I
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
Vincent was still thinking about everything Mr Eduardo had said. Suddenly a good idea came to him. 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? Just for a moment," Vincent said, asking her permission."What for?" asked Milea. She didn't just hand over her personal belongings to Vincent. She had to know first, the purpose of Vincent b
Vincent closed his office tightly. He didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. His attention was only on the start-up competition. Not even Alvin was allowed in without urgent business from the President Director, Mr Eduardo.That afternoon, Milea came to Vincent's office. She came in a hurry. 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. She was rattling her waist in a fit of rage. She kept forcing her way into Vincent'
Edward asked Milea to have a quick chat at the coffee shop opposite his office. Milea complies and goes along when Edward invites her. She was very innocent and did not suspect Edward's bad intentions at all.After chatting about many things, at length, with a little seduction Edward also invited Milea to go somewhere. Milea is the type of woman who gets carried away easily. The slightest seduction from Edward immediately melted.Much different from Vincent's attitude who is always ignorant and does not care about his partner. Edward can indeed convince every woman who is close to Vincent to turn to him. After Emma, Edward's easy target is now Milea.Vincent, on the other hand, seemed anxious because he couldn't find Milea in his office.'How strange is that? Where did that spoilt brat go? Is she trying to run away from her work responsibilities?' Vincent wondered. He was still waiting in Milea's room. However, the girl did not return after the lunch hour ended."Where did she go?" Vi
Milea was still under the influence of the anaesthetic. She was still unconscious. Thank goodness! She didn't know what had happened to her this time. Vincent had better hurry and get Milea out of that old warehouse. Before she regains consciousness.Vincent carried Milea into the car. Then, he leaned Milea's body on the front seat. After that, he immediately drove the car and took his fiancée back home.A few minutes later, after Vincent applied telon oil around her nose, Milea woke up from her long sleep."Vin?" Milea was surprised to see Vincent beside her.The atmosphere began to change. Is this Milea's room? Wasn't it ... She tried to recall the incident at the coffee shop with a man named Edward."For now, you just rest at home. No need to go back to the office," Vincent suggested. He got up from Milea's bed.Suddenly, Milea grabbed Vincent's hand. She was confused by Vincent's words."What do you mean rest at home? Are you sacking me?" she asked with a panicked look on her face
"I didn't mean it like that, Mr Eduardo," Vincent tried to explain."So you deliberately destroyed your work? Didn't you prepare a backup?" Mr Eduardo was astonished."I couldn't, sir. I had to recreate the application rather than have it end up in a mess. Besides, the programme had already been read by someone else. I don't want anyone else to know the raw programme," Vincent explained again.Mr Eduardo understood. He understood completely and was very supportive of the decision Vincent had made. According to Mr Eduardo, Vincent was too brave to take that risk. Salute to him."Vin, from now on just use my company. It will also be yours one day. You don't have to sneak around doing things behind my back anymore," Mr Eduardo scolded him in a sarcastic tone.Vincent smiled briefly. In the end, he was found out too. At first, he wanted to hide it from Mr Eduardo. Now, Mr Eduardo was suggesting that Vincent develop all his application programmes for his company."Just do as you please. I
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
