After the police station, Aiden turned around and headed to another company. A skyscraper that looked so majestic and sturdy. After leaving the police station, there were many questions in his brain and he wanted to talk to someone about it. He headed to the elevator and stopped at a floor. Since it was still working hours, there were few people in the building. He took long footsteps to a room with the name and title of the person who lived there. Aiden knocked on the door several times until a voice from inside told him to come in. As Aiden stepped inside, a gaze met his and now greeted, "What brings you here?" Phile peered slightly behind the man's back and although Aiden had been in he's room for over a minute, no one had appeared. The person Phile was referring to was Aiden's bodyguard. "You didn't bring your bodyguard?" He raised one eyebrow.Without saying anything, Aiden sat down on the long sofa and made himself comfortable there. As he had expected, Phile was indeed in
Later on, Aiden found out about things related to Hendrik. There's a saying that the more you know your enemy, the more likely you are to defeat him. Aiden was only interested in Hendrik in order to get back at him for what he had done. So, Aiden asked one of his men to find out about the man's daily life. In short, Aiden sent someone to stalk Hendrik and dig up information related to business and daily life. It wasn't until Aiden returned home from the company that he learned that Hendrik had been playing with horses lately. Aiden frowned and thought hard, what could he do to beat Hendrik armed with that information. Until an idea emerged from his brain and he contacted his subordinates to find a place that Hendrik usually visited. Then, the name of a popular racetrack came up. A meaningful smile was etched on Aiden's face. He had found a way to get closer to his goal. When the weekend came, Aiden went to the racetrack and had a look around the place. When he was at the stables
Hendrik tried to keep he from falling. How many times had he almost slipped from his sitting position and - for some reason - suddenly the horse kept whinnying, the sound getting more and more deafening. Hendrik was sure there was something wrong with the saddle he was wearing. "Damn it!" cursed he who found it difficult to adjust his position. "Shut up you stupid horse!" Meanwhile, behind Hendrik there was still Aiden whose gaze never left the man. Aiden, who initially felt that he's plan was a success, suddenly frowned because Hendrik hadn't fallen or bounced due to lack of balance. "He defense is fine," muttered Aiden.Hendrik groaned in annoyance as he's misfortune continued to streak at the moment. At that moment, someone who had been taunting Hendrik to race was now in the front position. Not to be outdone, Hendrik spurred his horse harder and even hit the horse a few times and obviously the speed was getting higher. The man didn't care about safety or other threats because t
"Come on!" Aiden exclaimed as he hit the horse he was riding.The horse soared through the air, jumped over a large tree root, and landed perfectly. The corner of Aiden's lips lifted. He thought he wouldn't be able to jump over the root, but it looked like he should be proud of his riding skills.Aiden hit his horse again to make it move faster. The puff of dust in the air got bigger as the horse's pace got faster.Don't let Hendrik insult me again, Aiden thought. He shouted encouraging his horse to catch up with Hendrik, who was already quite far ahead of him. Aiden beat his horse, while continuing to spur the horse on."Hoi, Aiden! Have you given up?" Hendrik shouted without looking back. He laughed loudly, thinking that Aiden would just give up.Aiden chuckled. There was no giving up in Aiden's dictionary. As long as he was still able to fight, he would not stop halfway. What's more, Aiden was confident he would win. Racing a horse was not a difficult thing for Aiden."What a
"Goodbye. Remember it well. You're a loser," Hendrik taunted with a sardonic smile.Hendrik's face lit up when he saw Aiden's body lying weakly on the ground. Happiness enveloped his heart. Soon I will win, Hendrik thought. He reversed the direction of his horse. Before moving the horse, Hendrik looked back."Have fun with the wild animals that may soon come to pounce on you," Hendrik said followed by a booming laugh.Without guilt, without compassion, Hendrik left Aiden who was screaming in pain. The cunning man drove his horse forward. The finish line was not yet in sight and he did not want to waste time to get the victory immediately. Ignorant of Aiden's fate, all Hendrik could think about was his ego to always be the winner.Meanwhile, Aiden limped to his feet. Holding his aching body, Aiden looked at Hendrik's departure. He looked straight ahead without averting his eyes.Slowly but surely, behind the mask he wore, Aiden's moans turned into a sardonic smile. Aiden's evil sm
Aiden spurred the horse leisurely. He even enjoyed his ride while whistling cheerfully. Throughout the ride, Aiden smiled broadly. He felt proud of himself because he had proven to Hendrik that he was not born a loser, but a winner. He just wanted to let his opponent feel happy for a while, before he turned the tables and made his opponent regret having underestimated the wrong person.As he neared his destination, Aiden quickly changed his clothes into more distinctive attire and a perfect suit. He also cleaned the stains on his body and straightened his hair. After everything was neat, then Aiden continued his journey.Once he arrived, Aiden tied his horse to a tree. Not long after, some of Aiden's bodyguards came to greet Aiden. The men dressed all in black bowed their bodies for a moment in respectful greeting to Aiden."Good afternoon, sir. Congratulations on your victory," one of the bodyguards said.Aiden turned his head. He nodded."By the way, where is your opponent, s
Hendrik's eyes widened. His heart stopped beating. His breath caught. His tongue felt tongue-tied. He stared intently at Aiden. Wine and flowers. It was certainly very familiar to Hendrik. He clearly remembered an incident involving those two things.He stared at Aiden with an incredulous look. Now, he understood who the man in front of him was. The Aiden sitting in front of Hendrik was apparently the Aiden he had been looking for. Because Aiden was the one who had destroyed Hendrik's every plan to destroy Aunt Lisa's company."Are you having deja vu?"The question slipped freely from Aiden's lips. Aiden smiled wryly. Seeing Hendrik's stupid expression made Aiden feel satisfied. That was the expression every enemy Aiden defeated had to show.Hendrik's face paled. His memory turned back to the plans he had made. Hendrik remembered when he gave flowers to the hospital where Aunt Lisa was treated, the flowers were poison that could make people die slowly just by inhaling them. He als
"What are you doing to our boss?!"The exclamation came from one of the men. They were none other than Hendrik's bodyguards. It was no wonder that Hendrik laughed happily when he saw the men coming.Seeing the sudden attack, Aiden's bodyguards immediately came forward. They immediately moved and fortified Aiden so that no one could hurt their boss."What did you come here for?" One of Aiden's bodyguards called out. The tall, well-built man took a step forward. He looked straight at the leader of Hendrik's bodyguards, he didn't like anyone else meddling with his boss's business.Bodyguard Hendrik chuckled."I should be the one asking what you brought our boss here for? Whatever you're planning, forget it. You're bound to fail."Aiden snorted. It wasn't just Hendrik who was arrogant, Aiden thought. Hendrik's bodyguards were no less arrogant. Aiden wasn't surprised at all. He obviously knew where the bodyguard had learned to be an arrogant human being. From where else if not from H
