When he gets out of that room, he finds Gimbo asleep on the couch. He looks so irritated to see how peaceful he is in his sleep.

  

He wakes him up by kicking his shinbone. But Gimbo only wakes calmly, without any sense of pain on his face.

  

“Done already?” asks Gimbo.

  

“Yeah, we leave!”

  

Right now, only Gimbo who accompanies him to treat his wound. Saul already told the others to leave, warning them to not ever tell anyone what has happened to him at the Counterbrand.

  

“So, have you changed your mind, yet? Asks Gimbo.

  

“About what?”

  

“Telling Fazio about this?”

  

“Are you asking me to humiliate myself in front of him? No way!”

  

He is still so mad and isn’t accepting his loss from Vict

    Some said, when you do something bad and try to run away from it, something worse will keep haunting you like an iceball. Whether it’s a regret, remorse, guilt, or just someone who seeks for your responsibility or revenge.When Lucas gets back to his office, he finds a commotion in the lobby. He takes a look from afar, and finds that the commotion occurs by a woman that looks familiar to him.As if not wanting to get entangled in whatever that woman is doing at the moment, he cancels his intention to park the car and keeps going. In the end, he decides to leave the office.Meanwhile, the receptionist and two securities are having trouble serving that lady.“How could you say that my husband is not working here?”“We’ve checked it so many times. But there’s really no staff or employee with the name Paulo Henrique that you mentioned,” replies the receptionist.“But he did say that he is working for Atkinson Pharmaceutical Company!”“Like I said before, your husband might have been lying

    It takes more than 10 minutes for them from the drugstore to Judy’s apartment. It doesn’t clear what Lucas said to Emma during that period of time.But now, before she leaves, he immediately holds her hand as if asking more time to say something.“I know I’ve been so selfish to you. But everyone changes every day. I can change too,” says Lucas.“You mean, when that girl is back to you, you are going to change again?” replies Emma coldly.“N, no! I mean, it has nothing to do with her. I just want to be a better person, a better man with responsibility, in and out. Really!”“Oh, sure! Good luck then!” Emma forces to pull her hand away and opens the door.“Emma, Please! Come with me! I will introduce you to my parents”It&r

    Emma has already entered Judy’s apartment, and notices Judy and Mia are observing something from behind the window. She becomes curious, suspecting that they have been following what has happened between her and Lucas. When she just reaches them, Emma’s attention is averted by something on the road from the right direction. She closes her mouth with an awry face. “Aw, shit!” Emma mumbles as he closes her mouth. “Hooonk!!!” A car passes right when they see Lucas is stepping back on the road. The three of them scream simultaneously. “Kyaaa!!!” But weirdly, after that car passes, they find Lucas is still just fine, right beside that battered minivan. He was lucky that Victor managed to grab his collar and pulled him, saving him from that passing car. That car stops for a moment, and the driver takes his head out to look behind. “Hey, punk! Are you okay?!” But Lucas doesn’t answer. His face looks so pale with heavy breaths, being so shocked with the long and loud honk from that ca

It's just that, Judy is a little unhappy, because again Victor is just hanging out in the minivan across the street. Only Judeo comes to her apartment to install the CCTV camera outside the window.When she approaches that minivan, she finds Victor is sleeping by putting both of his legs on the wheel, and by covering his face with a newspaper.

    On the contrary, Mike doesn’t pay any attention to that police car. Given what has happened to Diego, it is only natural for the police to be there. Because of that, he doesn’t really care about their existence.He only looks at Diego's house, especially towards Victor who is currently silent on the terrace with a dark mood. He, who has nothing to do with that pretty boy, doesn't feel any sympathy at all. Moreover, he had killed several people as a hitman.It’s just that, he feels a little silly with Victor's current reaction. He still clearly remembers how Victor punished Diego so sadistically. And now, he finds him mourning like that.“What now? Putting on an act, huh?” he mumbles with some chuckles.“What are you talking about?” asks Judeo cluelessly.But Mike doesn’t have any interest to serve Judeo’s question. He just averts his attention to somewhere else. Only then, he has a bit concern with that police car.He can’t see the face of the two police officers inside that car clear

    Despite looking so sure with that conclusion, Officer Frank is still a bit unsatisfied. As far as he knows, they have wiped out all the mafias in Indiana, and there’s no more mafia activity in recent years, except the small thugs on the streets doing some small business.But he is still open with the possibilities for the emergence of some mafia wannabes. Considering how bad their execution was on Diego, he believes that the work was done by some amateurs.And somehow, he suspects Mike and Victor might have a link to them, or maybe one of them, or maybe a target of them. And Mike has also noticed that this officer has interest in Victor.“So, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’ve been following us until now,” says Mike.Officer Frank is chuckling to hear such blatant words coming out of Mike’s mouth. “Not really. I should be th

    In the night, Fazio visits Limbo’s Paradise accompanied only by his nephew, Theo. Meanwhile, Saul and the others have been waiting inside. Most of them look uneasy, worrying that Fazio is coming due to the mess they'd been creating lately. Especially the one waiter who Fazio told before that they shouldn’t let the new girl, who is Judy, to be used for the service in the X-VVIP room. In the end, they did let it happen and became the root of all of their troubles. “Don’t even dare to say a word! Just hope that Fazio will never mention that issue later,” says Saul to him. That one waiter just nods in fear. He knows he shouldn’t be blamed for what happened to Judy. But he can’t just ignore the fact that Fazio had left that message to him, and that incident occurred before he managed to convey that message to the others. As one of them sees Fazio coming into the club, he immediately tells Saul. And of course, Saul tries his best to act normal. “What’s wrong with you? It’s not like we a

    “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

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

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,
