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

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.

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
The Heir of the Family 093 - He Is Dangerous
Victor admits that he was the reason some executives decided to resign. And that’s what makes Viona so busy in the past few weeks. “Yes, it’s him. What was his name again? Leonard Jackson?” Victor mutters to himself with unsure feelings. But Mike pays no attention to what Victor just said. He still seems trying to hold his annoyance toward that man. Victor gets out of the car, and then Mike backs up his car a little to give room for the Bentley to get into the parking space. “That’s more like it. You should learn your place,” says that man before parking his Bentley. Mike just shakes his head a little with an uninterested smile. That man in the Bentley tidies his hair for a while before getting out of the car. He does look quite mature, maybe around 40s. But he is the type of person who is quite a stylist with a well shaved face and really cares about his appearance. Victor is thinking about approaching him, perhaps to pay a bit of a greeting to the new GM. However, thinking abo

And she has also received a warning from Victor that the new GM is dangerous.Nancy doesn’t understand the meaning of Victor's previous warning. But she just follows Victor’s words wholeheartedly.Right after the elevator door closes before leaving that 9th floor, Nancy immediately moves to Victor's right side, with a slightly uncomfortable reaction on her face away from the new GM.“What do you mean?” she asks in whispers to Victor.Victor doesn’t give any answer, since there are only the three of them left. He doesn’t want to make the new GM uncomfortable.And now, that new GM, Leonard, has also started to have a bad impression on Nancy, su
The Heir of the Family 095 - The Goofs In Your Story

She knows for sure that Victor hasn’t introduced himself to Leonard.She doesn’t want Leonard to embarrass himself in front of the other employees, because that would only cause awkwardness between them later. And so, Viona ends that introduction prematurely.“Mr. Leonard! I think there must be a misunderstanding here. Should we end the introduction now?” she says.“Um, Ms. Viona?” responds Leonard in a bit startled.But those employees, who are already understanding what Viona is trying to do, decide to get back to their working desk.

When they get to the elevator, Victor parts ways with Nancy who intends to go downstairs. Meanwhile, Victor has to wait in front of the elevator to get to his office on the 23rd floor. Now Viona finds him alone. She rushes over to him, like she has something serious she wants to talk about. “Hey, what was that yesterday? What were you doing in the backyard?” she asks with a restrained voice and in a rushed tone. “Oh, about that?” Victor turns silent for a while, thinking about what kind of lie he is going to tell. “It was crows!” “Crows? What the?” “Well, I was relaxing in the swimming pool, and suddenly so many crows appeared, more than twenty.” “More than twenty?” Viona frowns her face. “Yeah, there were so many of them. I was shocked, and picked up Mike's gun that he put on the table, and started shooting,” Victor explains his story. Viona squints her eyes, finding how terrible Victor is at telling lies. The truth is, she already received a different story from Mike, tell

“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

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

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,
