It’s so rare for Judeo to leave the hideout in the morning. Usually, he would be sleeping at this hour after a full night of playing games.

  

But today is different. He goes out by taking a taxi, bringing one of Victor’s formal white shirts with him, to meet a new acquaintance he just met recently through an online game.

  

She is a designer girl, and a cute one. But Judeo meets her not to secure a date. He just asks her help to do something with Victor’s shirt, something that he can’t do himself.

  

'`Again?” asks the girl with a cringed expression on her face.

  

“Yeah, just take off the collar and put this thing inside and attach it to the shirt again.”

  

“What are you? A CIA agent? FBI?”

  

Judeo points his finger to his own face, and that girl immediately laughs for feeling si

    So far, the way Willie behaves has shown that Gambino is not just a lackey, like he is some important figure in La Marca, more important than Willie is.“You should mind your words. We could just wipe all of you from existence,” Willie continues.Saul chuckles a bit. That chuckle is continued with an open laughter. “Have you lost your mind? Look around you? Do you think you can just walk out of here after giving such a threat to my face?!”Willie’s facial expression doesn’t change in the slightest bit, like he doesn’t care about the number of those people who have taken out their guns. He only loosens his tie even more, preparing himself to take them all.But then, Gambino gently pats Willie’s thigh once, preventing him from doing anything stupid. “Calm down, Willie! No matter how much life you have, you can never fight the

    Willie leaves him after showing his amused grinning. It makes Saul even more confused, not knowing whether it was really a warning or they were just putting on a silly joke. All the other scary looking guys on the first floor are still showing their evil and intimidating gaze at Gambino and Willie. They don’t realize the condition with Saul and the others on the second floor. After Gambino and Willie leave, only then do they move to the second floor, trying to get to know what they should do next. But there, they only find the atmosphere around Saul and Shirley so weird, really unlike what they have expected. Shirley glances seriously at Saul, waiting for what he is going to do with that issue. But Saul isn’t coming with any decision at all. “I really think we need to tell Fazio about this,” she suggests. “No! He doesn’t need to know. Just forget about that girl. We only need to avoid confrontation with La Marca,” replies Saul. “What about that man from Counterbrand? If he is re

    In the meantime, Willie is taking Gambino back to the laundry factory. When they reach the factory, they see Albert is still there flirting with the ladies. But it’s not like they care about that old geezer’s antics in the slightest bit.“Is there any progress about Chappy?” asks Gambino.“Nope! It’s a dead end. We really don’t have any clue.”For some time, Gambino is silent while looking at Albert from inside the car. And suddenly, something has just crossed his mind.“Could it be that it’s the work of that man?”“What? That old geezer?” asks Willie with a bit of a startled face.“No! I’m talking about that president of Counterbrand. As I remember, he was trying to learn about the people who attacked him,” replies Gambino.

    But Victor doesn’t give him any reply. He simply touches the button number 23 to set his destination to the highest floor in that office building.“Floor No. 13, please!” says Leonard.But Victor just ignores him and then takes a step back, letting Leonard set his destination himself, and then replies sarcastically. “Can’t you do it yourself? Didn’t you say you are already an adult?”Leonard shakes his head with a bulging neck as he holds his anger. He keeps repeating the same words in his mind, about how he hates the youngsters these days.Since the very first day he worked for Counterbrand, his relationship with Victor has never been good. After all, they both haven’t met that often so far.And Victor never has any intention to be a buddy-buddy with him either. The fact that Leonard has once despised

    Leonard shakes his mind, and then takes his leave with a darkened face. He gets out of the elevator, and turns back, showing his cold face to Victor as the door starts closing.But Victor only puts on a plain expression. There isn’t any sense of satisfaction in him for humiliating and despising that Mr. GM. There isn’t any sense of hatred either. It’s really not his passion in despising or humiliating people.His expression is just flat and plain, like he never considers that Leonard ever exists in front of his eyes. Indeed, he has gone tired of being despised and underestimated.As he reaches the 23rd floor and gets out of the elevator, he takes out his phone and makes a call. He seems annoyed, for the fact that Mike just left without telling him.“Dude! You kept talking about how dangerous my situation is, yet you just left without saying anything.&rd

    He begins to speculate, Victor might have found out who had attacked him before, and suspected it to be the men from Fazio’s faction.And so, another misunderstanding occurs on Jimmy’s side, thinking that Victor might have been trying to pay back what those people did to him.But then, he is curious, as for the reason Fazio attacked Victor in the first place.“I couldn't understand what Fazio wanted from Victor by trying to kill him?” he mumbles.“What are you talking about?” asks Bobby with a confused face.“Are you thinking about those people who attacked that guy? No, man! That one attack was Albert's doing,” says Marco.Both Jimmy and Bobby are looking a bit startled to hear Marco's words. And Marco immediately closes his mouth, looking so regretful for almost babbling out about Albert Wilson's role in La Marca to those two.“Albert who?” mutters Jimmy with a curious face.“Ah, please! Forget about that. I shouldn't talk about this to anyone else. Not even to Bobby here! You never

    As they reach the Counterbrand office building with two cars, they all get out and observe their surroundings. One of them opens the door of the back seat, and then Saul gets out with his long black blazer.Mandy, who happens to notice their appearance, knows so well that they are not just commoners. Her face turns so serious as she immediately approaches them.However, she deliberately changes her facial expression before greeting them, acting like an ignorant security girl in serving customers.“Excuse me, handsome gentlemen. Is there anything I can help you with?” she asks with her usual cheerful tone and face.“My boss here is going to have a meeting with the CEO of this company,” replies Gimbo with his heavy and deep voice.“Have you made an appointment before?”“Nope. Should I make an appointment first?” asks Saul.“I’m afraid, yes! We are not so sure if the president of the company is available to meet with you at the moment. It’s better to make an appointment first,” says Mand

    Of course, Vincenzo wouldn’t easily buy that kind of scenario. He can’t understand why they would do that far only to save Victor.He is silent for a moment to think about those possibilities. After all, he finds it hard to accept a mere hard laborer like Gambino to have such influence on the other gangster group to stop their assassination attempt on Victor.It leaves him one possibility that Jimmy might have only told them some kind of silly joke.“So, you think that lawyer was lying just now?” he asks.“It’s not necessarily like that. He might just be telling us the truth. Which left us with another possibility that is even harder to accept. It’s possible that Gambino guy could be the real leader of La Marca. This is the only possibility for him to be able to do all those scenarios I told earlier,” says Mike.&nbs

    “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

    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

    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,
