After leaving Jimmy, Gambino immediately calls his friend, Willie. Even though he didn't get much information from Jimmy, Gambino knows very well that Victor is not just nobody. “Make sure no one touches that man! No need to find out who he is anymore. Whatever it is, don't touch that man!” [What about Albert? I'm not sure if I can stop Albert if he intends to do something to him.] “I’ll tell this to the other three leaders. If necessary, I will tell this to Eusebio himself.” [Is it that serious?] “Yes! He is not someone we should meddle with.” Meanwhile, Victor is almost reaching his house in the Geist area. When entering the residence area, only then does Victor notice a Cadillac following him from behind. Even until Victor parks his car in front of the house, the Cadillac also par
Victor glances around, and finds the apartment room looks more like a secret service headquarters, with two monitors still busy monitoring whatever they are monitoring. Meanwhile, one blonde guy with a pigtail is busy playing a video game with his computer. “Judeo!” calls Mike. “Sorry, I’m busy raiding the boss’ dungeon here. Just serve yourself,” that man named Judeo replies. “Dude, we were under attack just now!” says Mike. “I know. And I'm also under attack at the moment,” replies Judeo, still busy with the online game on the computer. “See! Did you hear what he said?” “What? He is playing an online game,” replies Victor. “That’s it. We work for your dad, not for you. If you insist on living here, just make yourself comfortable. Don’t expect anyone to serve you here. And one thing else, you can’t just get in and out, like this is a playground. We have a protocol here, to make sure no one follow us to this place,” says Mike coldly. “Oh, okaay!” replies Victor with an awkward
Meanwhile, Emma is still stalking Lucas at the moment. She has been sitting in a café for several minutes, observing Lucas who is currently across the street. What Emma finds at the moment begins to strengthen her suspicions that it is Lucas who was trying to do something bad to Victor before. Because at this time, Lucas is seen serving two strangers talking with him. The two of them looked so different unlike people in general. The heads of the two are slightly barren in the front, with narrow eyes so much like those of an Asian. And Emma, with all her prejudices, begins to assume that the two men are criminals, who make contact with Lucas as mercenary villains like she often sees in the movies. In fact, both of them are just Lucas' business partners who are originally from Asia. They could be from Korea, China, or maybe some countries in the oriental region. But fo
While in the taxi, Emma is in a dilemma over her decision whether to use the money left by Victor for flight tickets to Canada. Or maybe she can use that money to survive until she can find a new job. What is clear, now she feels like she no longer has any obligation to protect Victor from anyone. Although she still thinks that Lucas has a grudge over Victor. When Emma just gets out of the taxi, she is a little surprised to find Judy in front of her house. It looks like Judy has been waiting there for a while. “Judy? Have you been waiting here?” asks Emma. “Yeah, quite a while,” Judy replies. Judy looks a little confused. She thought the house was empty because Emma and Victor were probably out together. But now, she finds Emma is home by herself. “Where's Victor?” Judy asks. “I came here because there’s something I want to discuss with him.” “Why don't you just call his number?” asks Emma. “Well, I'd love to tell him in person if possible,” Judy replies. Now Emma is confused
Victor is silent there for a moment, looking at the gun in front of him. It’s a Glock 19, a semi-automatic pistol. It’s a handgun so commonly used by armed and police forces in almost 50 countries.Not that he hesitates to accept it, and this is not the first time he holds that kind of gun. In fact, he has already used the same gun when he was attacked before.It's just that he's starting to feel like he really can't keep taking lightly every problem that comes his way. If possible, he just wants to be able to live a quiet life like before, living life as a nobody.“What?” asks Mike, snapping Victor from his reverie. “Don’t tell me you are afraid to use a gun? You showed absolutely no hesitation the last time you snatched a gun from me. Or perhaps, should I teach you how to use it?” says Mike taunting Victor.Victor glances a bit at Mi
When they return to their hideout, Mike finds Victor still busy with the handgun he has left for him.His face is contorted, noticing Victor hasn’t accepted the loss. Victor is still busy disassembling and reassembling the handgun with full concentration.“What are you doing?” asks Mike.“Shut up. Don't bother me!” replies Victor curtly with an annoyed face, like a toddler occupied with his toys.For now, there isn't much they can do. Because they don’t know for sure who had just carried out the attack on Victor. One thing they need to do for the time being is to make sure that Victor is safe.Even after the next few hours, Victor still preoccupies himself with those silly things, while Mike and the others are busy discussing their countermeasure regarding that incident.Occasionally, Mike glances towards the room where Victor is still busy with the handgun. He can’t help but to be curious with Victor’s antics.“I can’t really understand what’s inside his mind,” Mike whispers to Judeo
Mike rubs his forehead, looking tired with Victor who is acting like a kid who doesn’t know his role, position, and his situation. He can’t imagine that someone like Victor would be Charles’s successor to be the heir of the family.“Don’t you realize you are the target here. We can’t just let you out and show your head to them,” says Mike.“What do you expect me to do? To shut silent here?” asks Victor.“Yes! Just leave everything to me. There are still so many things you can do here with Judeo and Junior,” says Mike.Victor still glares so cold at Mike, apparently unhappy with that choice. But Mike just ignores him.“Vincenzo! We leave!” calls Mike.Vincenzo immediately leaves the couch. He pats Victor on the shoulder as he passes, convincing him to just stay in the hideout.“Like he said! A boss like you shouldn't be dealing with small fries,” says Vincenzo.“Who is the boss? Didn’t you say that I’m not your boss?” Victor argues back at Mike.Mike just ignores him, averting his atte
Judeo is shaking his head, giving him a silly smile to find that Victor is really so naive with that kind of thing.“Hey, let me tell you a story,” says Judeo, trying to avert Victor's attention.“Do you know, Atkinson Pharmaceutical Company has once borrowed money from Counterbrand. And that time, Viona also asked me to do a phishing attack on Atkinson's own personal computer. And I once was monitoring his activities on the computer for fun.”It’s effective to attract Victor’s attention. He even changes his position, showing his interest with Judeo’s story.“What did you get?” asks Victor curiously.And so, Judeo starts laughing with a silly face.“I once found the old man was reading an adult manhwa,” says Judeo by holding his belly.“Manwha? What’s that?” asks Victor cluelessly, not understanding where is the joke.Judeo’s laughter slowly vanishes. His silly face turns into an uninterested one with squinted eyes. And now, it's Junior’s turn to find it hard to hold his laughter.“Ne
“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte
So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor
On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n
Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th
After all, he has made an agreement with Frank for this one, and he doesn’t want to screw Frank’s scenario in attacking Adam. Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told
The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun
Even Frank isn’t getting a peaceful night either. There are so many things that don't click with his beautiful mind. He has learned quite far about the background behind that serial murder case. He knows that Victor has something to do with this, and has already had a theory that this led to the death of Atkinson. “So, Adam got Victor and this Johann guy at the same time. Does that mean all your theories are true?” asks Morgan. Frank doesn’t answer him. He just sits there with a flat face, while busy rubbing his ring finger which no longer has any ring on it. His mind keeps working on the narration to conclude all the theory and deduction that he has made so far. “But this man, Cooper! He said he came to Lucas to warn him about this serial killer,” he says. “But Lucas said that it was Cooper who tried to kill him in the toilet,” argues David. “That’s the problem,” Frank refutes. “We have an eyewitness that this man, Cooper, had a fight with someone wearing Arabian outfits in the
He hits Victor again, while he is still pinned down on the ground. That hit only looks like a joking tap, as if he is agitating Victor to release his rage. And indeed, it’s effective to make Victor even more infuriated and mad. But then, just as Victor raises his left hand intending to continue his assault, someone just shoots him with a gun. Fortunately, it only hit his left shoulder from behind. But because of this shot, he is no longer in a mount position pinning Johann down. Weirdly, that shot only makes Johann infuriated. He gets up, and shows how annoyed he is with the one man who just shot Victor. “Yoou!!!” He grumbles with a low voice, before shouting out his anger. “You’ve screwed everything! That’s his moment, how dare you screw it!!!” Still within his madness, Johann recklessly rushes toward that man who is still holding his gun. And then… “Bang! Bang!!” Two shots in the chest put Johann down. That man approaches Victor who is now trying to get back up by holding his
Weirdly, for whatever reason, Johann didn’t kill Lucas. Cooper finds Lucas still breathing albeit no longer conscious. He immediately takes out a phone, and informs Victor and Vincenzo about that situation. However, as he just intends to leave that restroom, one security guard and two cops appear. Yes, there are already several cops around this building, because Lucas had shared to the police about the possibility of Victor would attack him. There are also Officer Frank and a few of his team among them in the outside. As those two cops notice Lucas’s condition in the restroom, they immediately put Cooper down on the floor. They then cuff Cooper’s hand behind his back. Of course, Cooper tries to break free, looking so impatient to not let his target away. “You stupid! You got the wrong person. He is out there, a man with an Arabian outfit!” “Silence! Whatever you want to say, you can explain it later in the office. You have the right to call an attorney. If you are unable to do so,
