Since the beginning, Alex never likes the idea of using a kid to fix his issue with Austin. But then again, Dylan has already kidnapped Austin’s daughter.“If we are going to give the kid back, why don’t just ask them to give Elly back to us?” Boris suggests.“Then it would put me as a man who holds a kid hostage?” Alex argues. “What makes me different from them?”“I get it that I did something bad here, but it’s already done,” Dylan refutes impatiently. “I’m the one who kidnapped the kid, not you! So enough with your morals. I’ll take all the blame in front of God later. Happy now?!”Alex takes a deep breath, and makes a phone call. He himself doesn’t have Austin’s phone number. So the only thing that crosses his mind is asking Miles Benet’s help.[Mr. Davis?! Is there anything I can help?]That’s the very first thing that he gets from Benet, making Alex so sure that his judgment asking Benet’s help isn’t wrong.“You see! I have Austin’s daughter with me. And I think he also keeps my
It isn’t clear yet which part of the kid’s body got shot. One thing for sure, her clothes have also already been red by blood, either her own blood or Boris’ blood. Boris tries to shake her, but the girl doesn’t show any reaction.“Shiit!” Alex grumbles with a mad face. “This is your fault! That’s what happens when you don't follow what I told you. I said no guns, because I don’t want to put your daughter in danger. And yet…”“They are not my men,” Austin retaliates.Alex just shuts silent. And so, Austin breaks free from him and immediately gets to his daughter. He keeps crying, while the kid herself doesn’t show any response.“We need to get her to the hospital,” says Boris.However, the three cars of the thugs are still following them from behind, still launching their bullets to that minivan.“Don’t you have any guns?” asks Austin. “We need to fight them back.”“I’ve told you! We didn’t bring any guns because we didn’t want to harm your daughter,” explains Alex. “Pablo, take us to
“I met the kidnapper in the Waverley Cemetery to give the ransom money for my daughter. But I mixed the money with some useless papers. When they found out, they tried to kill me and my daughter. So I ran away, and she got shot.”“How did you get here? We got a report about some people shooting a minivan.”There he remembers that there was indeed a police car following him and Alex before. He is a bit unsure to hide Alex’s involvement any further, since it will risk his own position later on.“Yes, I left my car at the cemetery when I tried to get away from them. Someone appeared with a minivan and saved us.”“Oh, how sincere he is, taking the risk to help you in that situation. Do you know the owner of this minivan? I may need to ask him some question too.”“It’s Alexander Davis.”“Alexander Davis? What a coincidence? Wasn't his child also kidnapped before this?”“That’s it! He thought the people who kidnapped her daughter could be the same people who kidnapped mine. So, he followed
“What kind of help are you offering?” asks Alex with a composed tone.“To find that woman, of course! If you are willing to pay me 10 million dollars, I’ll find the woman who took your daughter in one week,” replies Mila.“Ten million dollars? Give me a break,” utters Alex with a chuckle.“Why not! There is a 5 million dollars bounty for your head at the moment. I’ll save your kid for 5 million dollars, and spare your life for another 5 million dollars.”“You? Spare my life?”Petrov and his friends are laughing after hearing what that woman said.“Hey, sexy! That’s not the kind of man you can threaten,” Petrov warns.But Paul, that woman’s husband, takes out his gun, and then puts it on the table. He doesn’t point the gun at them, simply letting it on that table.But he looks quite confident with his warning. “When the adults talk, you kids better shut up!”“Or what?” asks one of Petrov’s friends.“Believe me! I can launch 10 bullets in three seconds with this gun, and only need one b
Alex did say that he is going to kill this old man. But now, after seeing Morgan Davis right in front of him, he’s just standing there not knowing what to do.It doesn’t mean he no longer hates him. But he finds it hard to vent his anger toward him, despite how mad his face currently is.“She is my disciple, but she has nothing to do with your grudge. If you hate me that much, feel free to leash that demon and kill me,” utters Morgan, calmly provoking Alex to attack him.“Thank you for making it easier to kill you.”Alex makes up his mind to kill that old man. The two of Morgan’s bodyguards look so ready to fight Alex, but Morgan immediately spreads his arms to halt them. The same with Boris, immediately holds both of Alex’s arms from behind.“Fuck! Let go of me. Are you on his side now?” Alex retaliates.“That’s enough!” Boris tries to calm Alex’s retaliation. “How much have you made things worse by losing control like this? Why don’t you listen from his side first? We will judge lat
In the middle of the night, they visit a nursing home in the Narraweena area. They can still pay a visit, simply because this nursing home is still under The Catacomb’s influence.Some of the old members of The Catacomb spend the rest of their lives here, including the 67 years-old man they are going to see, Luca Campbell. Morgan has investigated four senior members of The Catacombs who were involved in the massacre of Alex's family.This Luca is the oldest among them, while the others have been killed by Morgan Davis. When this man learns that Morgan pays him a visit, he knows that he is coming to take his life.“So, it’s my turn now, huh?” utters the old man as a greeting.The old man just sits on a wheelchair. It seems like he is not in a condition where he can run away. A small part of his left earlobe has been cut off, a legacy from the past.“It seems like you’ve been expecting my coming,” says Morgan Davis, pulling a chair and then takes a seat in front of Luca.“I’ve heard wha
As that girl heads to the kitchen, she finds her dad has just come home from work. For some reason, she rushes to the kitchen, seeming to avoid meeting her own father. Not because the father is a thug. To be exact, he is actually one of the most known people in this country, Rusli Gunawan, who is currently running a political campaign as one of Indonesia's vice presidential candidates. As much as she wants to avoid him, the father still finds her in the kitchen. And oddly, her face suddenly turns so pale. “How is she doing?” asks the man, talking in his native language, Bahasa Minang. “She’s already asleep in her room,” replies* the girl, holding the cup of the drink with shaking hands. The father takes a glance at the cup she is holding. And so, that girl just reaches out to him. “Um… I prepared this for you!” The father smiles, and then strokes the girl’s hair gently. “Lisa! You are a good girl. But sadly, you turned adult too soon.” He then leaves by taking the cup of drink
That one bodyguard is yawning, rubbing his hands due to the cold. He does notice something, and intends to check on the situation. But then, he finds a stray cat from outside. “Shit! He will be mad if I let a stray cat get into this house,” grumbles* the man with a tired sigh. Lisa looks so awry, afraid to be found out. But then, she hears her father calling from inside the house. And that calling attracts the guard’s attention. “What’s now?” The man whines*, leaving the cat and rushes inside the house. Lisa knows her father must be looking for her and Elly at the moment. She immediately runs away while holding Elly's hand, heading toward the side door of the yard fence. Meanwhile, Rusli is looking so mad, pacing around inside the house looking for his daughter. He has entered the room where he kept Elly, but not finding the kid there. “Lisa!!!!” He opens the door to Lisa’s room, and he doesn’t find anyone there either. He even notices the wardrobe which is still open, and in a
Giana is back with warm tea, and then offers it to Sofia. But she doesn’t stay there for too long. She immediately leaves that office again. And of course, Alex notices that the girl deliberately lets him be alone with Sofia. He also notices that Boris is no longer there either. He simply shakes his head, and intends to make his business with Sofia as short as possible. “Sorry! I come here only to borrow your money! I have to travel to Jakarta tomorrow. Maybe I can get a clue about Elly's whereabouts there. If not, I will continue my search to Singapore, and maybe Thailand too,” explains Alex. Sofia is silent for a moment. She gets an impression that Alex is only looking for their daughter without any clues, and simply going to places in desperation. “Do you really believe she might be in these countries?” she asks unsurely. “Is she really still alive?” Alex takes a deep breath. “Do you think I do this out of my ignorance? The person who kidnapped Elly had sold her to a child tra
Alex straightens his shirt and leaves while enduring the pain in his right ribs. Among the people present at that time, there is also Miles Benet, who comes over to Alex with a happy face.“Hey, is that true? You became one of the Overseers replacing Morgan Davis?”But Alex just puts on a flat face. He continues to walk away while looking at Benet coldly without saying anything.“Hey, Alex!” Benet calls him.“Shut up! Never put on that naïve face in front of me,” says Alex as he keeps walking away by only showing his back. “I already know your true color.”Boris arrives and intends to support Alex who looks in pain. However, Alex refuses the help, because he doesn’t want to appear weak in that place.While heading to the car, Alex sees Morgan's car coming towards him. It seems that the old man left the hotel via a different route that Alex didn't know. The car stops near Alex, and Morgan rolls down the window, seeming to have something to talk about.And so Alex approaches him. “So, w
Alex can’t find any reason to decline their offer now. He even thinks that it may be helpful for him to find his daughter out there. “What do you say, Alex?” asks Reece Thompson. Alex glances at them for a moment, and then gives a solemn nod lightly. “That’s settled then,” Freedie Berker affirms immediately. “We will announce about this news later, and maybe hold an official meeting with the Administrators to introduce you as the new leader of The Catacomb.” “No, wait!” Alex interferes with him immediately. “If possible, let it stay like how it used to be. I don’t mind with me being the only true leader, but let the others know that I’m just one of the Overseers.” “So, you want to keep this secrecy just like what Morgan did this whole time?” Alex nods lightly. “Everyone?” Freedie Berker asks the other Overseers. None of the other Overseers shows their objection. “Okay, then! We will do just as you want,” says Freedie Berker to Alex. “But we have to postpone the official inaug
Rusli hurries to catch up with Saniyah. “Hey, wait!”Saniyah still gets into her car. However, she lowers the car window while giving a sign to the driver not to leave yet.“You should know, just being vice president won't allow me to do much,” Rusli explains his situation.“That's why, don't be satisfied with just aiming to become vice president. You have a brother in parliament, a nephew at the police headquarters, and your electability is quite high. Aim for the number one,” Saniyah provokes him.“It's useless to have high electability if there is no support from the coalition for me as a presidential candidate,” argues Rusli.“Then, just ignore that coalition. Hasn’t your party passed the presidential threshold for this?” Saniyah replies rhetorically.“Don't be naive. That will only make me lose support,” Rusli retorts.Saniyah slowly turns her face to Rusli by raising one of her eyebrows. “I know, in this country there is a secret organization that operates behind the scenes, who
Back to the house of Rosdiana, Rusli’s ex-wife. In the meantime, Lisa is being questioned by her mother. Rosdiana drags Lisa to her bedroom by leaving Elly alone in the kitchen.“What is this now? Whose child you brought to this house?” asks* the mother by restraining her voice.“You don’t need to speak this way, mom! She won’t be able to follow our conversation,” explains* Lisa.That mother, Rosdiana, gets to the door and then takes a peek at Elly for a glance.“One look and you can tell that she is a foreigner. She doesn’t understand Minang language at all,” Lisa continues*, getting out of her mother’s room, and then takes Elly to the living room.As if understanding the situation, Rosdiana follows her daughter in a hurry, and immediately asks openly in front of Elly without hiding anything.“Did your father take her home?” she asks*.Lisa doesn’t say anything. She only shows her gloomy face.“Don’t tell me…”As if knowing what’s inside her mother’s mind, Lisa just nods lifelessly.
