For a moment, Dennis was silent, with his eyebrows almost sticking together. The man stared at the black card that Marco used to pay the bill. The man looked at the card and Marco in turn. "Hey, wait a minute."Dennis raised his hand, preventing Marco from putting his payment card into the wallet. "Isn't that the rarest high-quality black card?" he asked himself.Dennis touched his lips and thought. "I think I've seen other types of black cards." He looked at his wallet in his pocket, then said, "I have one of those black card types that rich people very often use.""But, that type of his-" Dennis paused his words. He thought for a moment and looked back at Marco in confusion. "Doesn't that type have to be specially ordered?"Just then, he widened his eyes and picked up the card Marco had just used to pay. At that moment, everyone there suddenly became shocked. Even the waitress seemed to widen her eyes at being treated like that.Not only the waiter but even Isabella was as surprised
A steady stream of people with suitcases and backpacks in hand filled the airport. Security guards stood at several points to make sure it was safe, and there was no commotion. Meanwhile, other officers were busy doing their jobs. Serving the passengers who arrived with tickets in their hands. Even some who seemed to have just returned from a long trip looked a little tired with their luggage.Calls to international airplane passengers could be heard several times over the loudspeakers. Marco had just gotten out of the car along with one of his servants who was carrying luggage in a suitcase.The man raised his sunglasses before stepping into the inspection area. He looked at Wilson, who was now coming towards him with a small smile. "Good morning, Mr. Marco." The woman gave a small bow as soon as they met. The woman looked beautiful in a formal suit and a span skirt wrapped around her legs.As for Marco, the man nodded. "Have you been here long?""Of course not. I've just arrived," W
"Sir, please be more calm because this is going to be a very bad situation," said one of the flight attendants. The woman in the pink span skirt walked a little closer and used the softest tone she had. She didn't want to take the risk of igniting the anger of someone who seemed to be very angry and on the verge of exploding.The flight attendant also gave him another suggestion. "You can sit back in your seat. If you cross the line, you could end up in jail for battery."There was nothing wrong with that. The man's assault was certainly not going to go unpunished. Moreover, there were so many pairs of eyes that were witnesses there. The punishment would be very severe for taking the life of another person.The man, Nicholas, shook his head. "I don't care!" she snapped in a loud voice. His eyes seemed to be reddened with anger that burned thickly. "You have no idea what this man has done.""So that you know, this man raped my daughter!" Upon hearing this, the passengers opened their m
Marco opened his cell phone while he was still on the plane. He read the special message from Will right away. Marco had asked his servant to check the truth of what Steve had done to Nicholas's son. He also had to confirm the truth before taking greater action. Moreover, he also allowed Nicholas to beat up Steve with so many witnesses here. Yes, even though they were going to shut him up later.For a moment, Marco frowned. It was true; Steve was indeed a bold man. "Ignorant," Marco muttered. The man was now staring at Steve with an icy glare in his eyes. There was no mercy for an immoral man like him.As for Steve, the man held his bloody nose with great pain. He wiped it many times, but the thick red liquid kept oozing out. Steve now snorted. "You've gone too far."His hands tried to hold back the blood that continued to flow from his nose, even using the sleeves of the shirt he was wearing. But to no avail; the blood did not stop. "You don't even know my identity properly. You're
Now, the car stopped, and the waiter opened the door for Marco and Wilson. The man bowed respectfully as he watched Marco get off. That afternoon, it was quite busy, with several guests walking outside for a stroll.Upon seeing Marco's presence, one male staff immediately walked over. "Good afternoon, Mr. Marco, your arrival has been announced." The man greeted them with a friendly and generous smile.Marco simply nodded. Then, the staff straightened up and led Marco into the hotel. While walking, he then introduced Dior. "My name is Juno. You can call me when you need anything. And about the room, you don't need to worry. Because we have prepared the best room for you."The best room Juno was referring to was the most luxurious room in the hotel. It is located on the top floor with a marvelous view from the balcony. Not only that, in the room, Marco will also get a special access card that is only reserved for people from the VVIP class.But unfortunately, Marco's arrival coincided w
This morning, Marco and Wilson decided to go out and take a short walk after enjoying their quiet time at the hotel. Marco, with his short shirt and white shoes, and Wilson, who looked fresh in a floral dress and knit cardigan, left the hotel for one of the lively places around there.After walking leisurely for about ten minutes, Marco and Wilson found some street vendors selling various foods. The smell of smoke from grilled meat, sweet and sour sauce, or cotton candy filled the air.Some of the vendors were all smiles as they offered their wares. Besides food, Marco and Wilson found some flower sellers and accessories made of wood or acrylic.Marco seemed to choose some foods with meat and skin that were dry-fried. "Do you want some?" asked Marco as Wilson looked at what he ordered. The woman looked thoughtful as one finger tapped her chin.Then, Wilson shook her head. "No, I already ordered a hot dog over there." The woman pointed to a booth only two meters from Marco's place. Mar
When he heard what Chris said, Louis became very uncomfortable. He felt that everyone was now staring at him with displeased eyes. He had been publicly humiliated just because of one person who had no value, like Marco. And Louis couldn't accept that. He should be more respected than someone like Marco. They were definitely not comparable. He was much better and classier. How could he possibly be defeated by a rookie who had no channel at all, like Marco?Finally, to restore his slightly shattered self-image, Louis cleared his throat and glanced at Marco sharply. "So what? Everyone also knows that he's just a novice businessman who doesn't know anything. His experience is minimal. I'm sure he's even made a few contracts since he's not competent about this yet."Wilson shook his head from Marco's side. "It's really embarrassing to hear other people yelling like that. It's not ethical at all." Whereas the other participants were so calm and expressed their opinions with a cool head. Onl
There is so much work that Marco and Wilson have to do throughout the day. Starting from checking some budget files, data about the businessmen who officially followed them, or even checking the location and progress of the project they were doing.The two men were busy in the hotel room with their glasses and emailed files. And because of the similarities between the two of them, namely having a good performance and even tending to be workaholics, both of them lost track of time and almost forgot about dinner time.Fortunately, when Wilson's cell phone beeped to indicate an incoming message, the woman looked at the clock on the flat screen. "Gosh, Sir, we're already past dinner time."Hearing that, Marco, focusing on the file in his hand, immediately turned his head. "That late?" he asked as he looked out the hotel window, where the sky was so dark that the sun was already up.Finally, without saying anything else, they immediately cleaned up the various files and work that had been
The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have
Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw
And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w
And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a
Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can
The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin
A warm puff of water with a refreshing citrus scent filled Marco's en suite bathroom. The bathtub was filled with water and almost full of foam. While Marco, the man, sat in his natural state with his head resting on the edge of the bath. Classical music played softly and pampered the ears.In Marco's hand, a glass of red wine accompanied his relaxing time. The man closed his eyes with his head, looking up at the bathroom ceiling. He had drunk almost two glasses of alcohol, so no doubt, his mind was flying into the clouds. But amazingly, Marco still knew he could not fall asleep in the bathroom.Marco let out a long sigh and got up from the bath. He grabbed a towel and moved to enter the room after rinsing himself with warm water from the shower.The sound of the door moving open could be heard from the room, along with an incoming message on Marco's cell phone. The man moved closer and opened it. It was a message from one of his good acquaintances. "Oh, what's wrong?" he muttered cur
The staff at Horizon Edge's capital branch company gathered at the entrance in a row. They all straightened their clothes and put on their best smiles, waiting for someone to arrive in a few minutes.When a black SVU car stopped in front of the company's door, and a person with shiny shoes emerged, the staff instantly put on their brightest faces. Everyone bowed deeply, waiting for the figure to enter and pass them all."Welcome, Mr. Marco," they said almost simultaneously. No one dared to raise their face when Marco's figure passed by, and they were still bowing deeply until Marco entered through the main door.One of the staff at the far end immediately followed Marco's lead and accompanied him to the elevator. "Good morning, Mr. Marco. We are truly delighted to have you here today. We are truly honoured that you would let us know in advance."While the manager managing the recruitment of new staff also approached, the man smiled broadly and showed a friendly face. "We've heard all
Hearing so many questions and sounding quite disorganised, Marco raised his hand to signal the reporters to hold back for a moment. The camera flashes continued to rain down on him rapidly as Marco took a deep breath. He remained calm and controlled the situation well."Please calm down," Marco said, referring to the reporters bombarding him with endless questions. And right at that moment, the noise from the questions that kept coming back and forth slowly decreased little by little. Before the end, there was only the running footage to record the events in the hotel hall.When all the reporters were under control, Marco looked up at the faces now, watching him intently. "All this time, I've been doing my work elsewhere, which is just as important as the work in the family company.""As for the business I just did, I'm quite fond of it outside of family matters. And about the hidden identity, we are waiting for the right time to share this good news with everyone," Marco added.The m
