Alex then turns his face to Melissa, and expresses his gratitude before taking his leave. “Mrs. Gaines, thank you for kicking me out of this mess. I wish you good luck!” But Detective Barnes halts him. “It doesn’t mean you can just leave! We discovered suspected narcotics trafficking, which we believe was going on even before Harry Gaines' death. And you were the CEO in charge at the time.” “Narcotics trafficking?” mumbles Alex while pondering. “Well, I'm sure you didn't come with a warrant for my arrest, but only to conduct a search and investigation at this company. If you do find something that would incriminate me as a suspect, you know where to find me.” “At least, I want you to stay in town while this investigation continues,” Detective Barnes issues. “You should have done something better than just get a search warrant. But, it’s not like I’m going to run away from you,” replies Alex as he walks away. “I know I’m innocent.” Indeed, from the start Detective Barnes wanted to
There is no way a response like that wouldn't make Nelson sad, because he has absolutely no intention of demeaning Alex. In fact, far from that, he really respects Alex, and hopes to learn a lot from him.Regardless, after how his mother treated Alex, he can’t blame Alex for his response. However…“Mr. Davis, please! I have absolutely no bad intentions. There’s no way I have any courage to look down on you. This is all just a misunderstanding from my clueless mother. I've been trying to clear this misunderstanding with her since the cemetery, but...”Alex suddenly cuts off the phone, not giving Nelson a chance to finish his words. In fact, with Nelson bringing back the humiliation that Alex received in the cemetery, only makes Alex even more annoyed.At the moment, he is heading to the kindergarten which his daughter attends. But it’s still so early in the morning, and of course, it’s not the time for Elly to leave the kindergarten yet.He just parks his car straight in front of a cof
But that man mistakes Alex’s reaction as someone who is confused. Hence he takes out his phone, and shows it to Alex the Y0uTube channel he is talking about.And indeed, that one video shows a bit of Alex while attending court when he filed a lawsuit against the two amateur police officers. Not just that, there are other contents discussing all Alex’s accomplishments as a businessman.And indeed, that’s also one of the reasons so many people like him. The narrator in those videos really excels at carrying the story and drawing Alex like an almost legendary sounding figure.Alex himself is a bit shocked at how this channel knows so much about him. However, those contents never show the speaker's face at all. There’s only a narrative covered by a woman, whose voice is very familiar to him.“Look at all those comments! Everyone really adores you, Sir!” says the man.But Alex doesn’t care about the comments from netizens. His main interest is the name of the Y0uTube channel, which mention
Alex’s house is still in chaos right now. Just a night isn’t enough to fix everything.The bed which has been torn by sharp objects has not been replaced with a new one yet. At least, that old man Elijah has covered that painted message on the wall inside Alex’s bedroom, the one which mentioned Alex’s old nickname in it.It’s Alex’s primary request for the old man to hide it immediately before more people know about it. As he is busy painting that warning message with a brush, someone enters the room.“Sir! We’ve finished fixing the things you asked us.”“That’s quick. What about the window?” asks the old man.“We’ve fixed that one too. The damage is not that heavy.”Elijah puts down the paint brush, and then walks out of the room intending to check on those people’s work.“Need us to paint the wall for you too?” asks the man offering his service.“It’s not that much. I can do it myself,” replies Elijah.“Anyway, who created all this chaos? A thief?” asks the man.“There’s no way a th
After waiting for half an hour, Alex appears with his Mercedes S600 Guard. Nelson immediately gets out of the car and approaches Alex. Melvin and that fat Ronnie are getting more intense in observing them.Realizing his coming, Alex immediately puts on his tired face. He knows it is impossible to keep avoiding him.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Alex welcomes him harshly. “Want me to take you to your dad’s rotten ass?”That one really hurts Nelson’s feelings, not to mention that his dad has just died only recently. But he tries to endure it, knowing it is him to blame in this situation.“Alex, please!”“What did you call me?”“Uh, I mean, Mr. Davis! Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude, and I know my mom shouldn’t treat you that way. But…”“I get why you have such bad manners as a kid,” Alex cuts Nelson’s words. “Hitting you in the face just once won’t be enough when you have that kind of mother at home.”“I know,” replies Nelson with a weak voice. “You have opened my eyes already. I’
Alex’s facial expression isn’t changed by that argument. He simply approaches that girl closer, and talks so close to her face with a low tone intimidating voice.“I did fuck my wife to get a cute little daughter. But I dedicated my life for that one. I raised money, honored her like a queen, gave her protection, helped her family from the debt, and never looked at another woman since then. That’s what my wife got for the sex she gave to me. And you, what did you get from your customers? $200? $500?”That blonde doesn’t have the pride to answer, realizing her prices isn’t that much to be proud of, even amongst the prostitutes. But Alex forces her to mention it, even by slamming a few dollar bills at her face.“How much? I’ll double it now, name your price! How much a man would pay for an hour with you?”“Uh, a n
“Hey, new guy!” calls the barman as he approaches Dylan. “The owner of the club wants to see you!” “Me?” asks Dylan by pointing at his own face. “What is it?” “I don’t know. Maybe he just wants to know a little about you since you're new here” “But...” Dylan looks a bit reluctant since he has to accompany the customers. But then, that barman calls someone else to replace him. And so, the barman takes Dylan to the back alley based on Nelson’s request. “Is it normal to get called like this?” asks Dylan as he follows the man. “Could he be mad at me for something.” “Who knows! He rarely visits this place. Actually, the previous owner had just died three days ago, and now his son owns this place.” “Oh, he must be a busy person, already back to business so soon.” “Yeah! This is his first day visiting this place after his dad died, and he is already going to start a massive change,” informs the bartender. “Maybe he is going to fire you!” “No way!” But the barman just laughs openly,
Alex glances at the two Nelson’s lackeys. Knowing that Nelson respects Alex, those two decide to step back and leave Dylan alone.And somehow, Nelson has lost his desire to continue dealing with Dylan, and decides to leave. But then, he hears Dylan agitating him.“Heh! Fucking coward!”Nelson stops and glances back. He finds Dylan having difficulties in just trying to stand straight. Yet, that man is still able to mock him.“I know you are just a snotty brat who likes hiding behind your dad’s big name.” Dylan continues taunting him, despite his own condition being quite worrying with face covered in blood. “But your dad is no longer here. He’s dead. Where are you going to hide now?”The truth is, Nelson is indeed a bit doubtful to fight Dylan. He has been beating Dylan for almost half an hour, and
