The Heir of the Family 085 - Everyone Has Secret
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
The Heir of the Family 086 - Just A Band
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
The Heir of the Family 087 - They Are Still Around
About eight years ago, there was a music hall in the back of a café, with a glittering colorful banner mentioning La Marca. The venue was always full, because everyone could enjoy the show for free. At least, they had to make an order at the café to enter the music hall. There were so many young people from all walks of life, from different racial backgrounds. In this hall, everyone was equal in the name of music. Likewise with the café in front of it, where music performances in the hall behind the café could still be heard. The café was also always crowded with visitors. Black, white, men and women, Italian, German, Irish, Mexico, all seem to be chatting, joking around with cheerful faces. It is so much different when compared to the conditions about half a mile from the café. This kind of spirit of togetherness and being united, originated from a music band with multi-racial members who see cultural differences as a wealth to be enjoyed. There is a banjo player who comes from a m
The Heir of the Family 088 - Nightclub Girls
Victor’s face begins to look so dark, realizing that his situation is not that simple. He never thought the town he is living in is that dangerous. And Jimmy notices the awry in Victor's face. “Listen! Some of their leaders and members have indeed been imprisoned at this time. Some have already died in jail. But that doesn't mean all their business and activities have completely stopped. It could be one of them who attacked you. Indiana is not as peaceful as how it looks,” says Jimmy, telling Victor like he is giving him some kind of warning. Without Victor realizing, Mike is already standing by leaning on his car in front of Jimmy’s office for quite a while. Victor is a bit startled when he suddenly finds him there. Victor also notices a minivan across the street, being parked a bit further away from his car. It seems like Mike has been waiting there for him for some time. But somehow, he just silent there, letting Victor alone with Jimmy, not wanting to disturb them. “Who is he?
The Heir of the Family 089 - Being A Man
When entering the locker room, there are still a few other nightclub female employees there. Their attention is diverted by the arrival of Emma and Judy. The more so on Judy who looks so young in their eyes.Even though Judy is already 21 years old, her face still looks so fresh and naive, like the face of a teenager. Likewise with her appearance that looks so simple and modest, almost looks like a tomboy. But it’s only on her appearance, not the way she behaves.It’s because she has left home since she dropped out of school, leaving high school as a sophomore. And so far, she has lived independently in a mediocre life.“Maria! Is she working here too?” asks one of them, to the girl who takes Emma and Judy to that locker room, seeming to ask about Judy.“Yeah, she is,” replies that girl named Maria.“Damn! What’s in their minds, letting a kid like her to work in a place like this?” whispers the other one to her friends.Despite the girl saying it in a whisper, Judy is still able to he
The Heir of the Family 090 - Incident In The Lab
In fact, none of them, those watchers, are married. Although some of them are already past their thirties. They know the risk of their work. And indeed Charles William himself deliberately chose people who really have no attachment to others like a normal life in general. “I think you should stop showing your concern for your ex-wife. That’s if you really care about her. If they know you are still showing your concern like this, there will be a risk that they will use her to lure you out,” explains Mike. It’s effective to invite Victor’s attention. He finds Mike’s explanation is so reasonable. But it seems that Victor is still objecting to such conditions. Because it means, he does not only have to cut off the relationship with Emma, but also with all the people he cares about. He starts thinking that he is not ready, and will never accept that kind of life. He can't understand, what’s the meaning of being someone in front of so many people’s eyes, if you can’t be someone to the p
The Heir of the Family 091 - The Cursed Ring
Victor has been jogging for more than an hour. In fact, this is something he used to do every morning. But never again in the last two months.The last time he forced his body to sweat was when he was preparing for his wedding anniversary party and got home by running. Now, even though he has run quite far, it's been more than an hour, Victor still looks dissatisfied.“Damn! Am I getting too old for this shit now?” Victor whines as he finds himself can no longer continue to run anymore.He then reaches a wooden seat in a public park. He only sits there for a while. And then he is forced to lay his body due to how exhausted he is.In the meantime, Mike is so awry at the hideout that Victor is no longer there to be found. He checks on the monitor, and changes the view to observe the situation around that building. He still finds Victor’s car there, but not Vict
The Heir of the Family 092 - Aren't You The Boss?
Victor quite understands, it's true that someone shouldn't open up disgrace or bad mouthing the company where he used to work. As a leader of a company, of course Victor also doesn't want his employees to do that to Counterbrand.With that sense in mind, he no longer forces Dennis to talk more about Laundrix Wilson. Even though Victor himself is still so curious about the bad thing that Dennis has just mentioned.Suddenly, Dennis gets up. “Would you mind waiting here a moment?” he asks.Victor doesn’t have the time to answer because Dennis immediately leaves him. Victor keeps watching until he finds Dennis heading to a car.A moment later, Victor’s phone rings. Victor takes a look, and realizes it is Mike.“Yeah?”[Just in case you don’t know, that man is working for Laundrix Wilson. And their boss have openly declared his displeasure to Counterbrand in several occasions.]Victor immediately glances everywhere, seeming to find out from where Mike is watching over him at the moment.He

“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

359 - The Price Of A Trust
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

358 - Zip His Mouth
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

357 - Questioning Her Intention
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

356 - Weak Testimonies
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

355 - I'm Out
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

354 - When Being Innocent Is Not Enough
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

353 - Release That Beast!
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,
