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
