But then, after a few moments in her deep thoughts, she starts looking so hopeless like she can’t find any solution to whatever she is dealing with right now.She takes out her phone, and calls Judy. However, for some reason, she just cancels it after a few moments of waiting. She changes her mind and makes a call to someone else.[Hello! Is this you, Emma?]“Um, Robert. I’m sorry if this is so sudden, but I’m in trouble at the moment.”[What happened to you? You just stop coming to my bar without saying anything. You should have…]In the end, Emma ends the call. Seems like she is looking for help. But she just feels like Robert wouldn’t want to help her.Now she is out of options. Until suddenly, Judy calls her instead.[Emma, did you just call me? Sorry, I left the phone at my room]“It’s okay. I did try to call you but canceled it.”[What is it? You seem like in troubl
The Heir of the Family 149 - She Is Acting Weird Again
Now Lucas has to wait there for someone to come to his rescue, while holding a phone to his ear. It just so happens that he almost has no friend whom he can ask. He has no choice but to call someone at the company.As he is busy calling for someone, a tow truck arrives to take his car to the nearest service station.“What about you?” asks the truck driver.Lucas only realizes that he never saved anyone’s number into his phone except for a few important figures. And sadly, none of those important figures can ask for help either.“Just take my car with you. I’ll wait for a taxi here,” replies Lucas to the truck driver.On the other hand, Emma is getting annoyed to still find Lucas to be there. She has been waiting impatiently. In the end, she gets a call from Judy, telling her that Victor is now at her apartment.It seems like Judy understands that Emma is trying to avoid Victor, and informs her beforehand whether she is really going to come or not.“Hey, if you really need it that much
The Heir of the Family 150 - Molotov Cocktail Attack
While Victor is busy with all the issues around him, Chappy has been working out and squeezing his sweat so hard with his life on the line.He is now walking with wobbling steps heading out of the gym accompanied by Judeo. Despite how tired the look on his steps is, his face is full of life force unlike his past days as a junkie.As he gets out of the gym, he accidentally runs into Victor and Mike who are just coming back to the hideout.“Oh, bro! You are back?” says Chappy as a greeting.Victor only replies to him with a slight change on his face. And Chappy just keeps going due to how tired he is at the moment. It’s not like he is acting like a sigma male or some cold-hearted hitman.He is just too tired with an empty mind, only focusing on recuperating his condition by instinct. Of course, doing training only in a week won’t be enough to turn him into a genuine athlete. But somehow, it’s effective to change his core significantly.There’s no sense of a junkie from him anymore. He i
The Heir of the Family 151 - The Embers of the Old Dream

When Judeo tries to check it out, only then does he realize that he lost the connection with the two cameras.However, they both absolutely have no idea what has just happened to those two cameras.“What was that?” Chappy asks.“I don’t know. We lose connection with these two cameras,” replies Judeo as he leaves his chair.He is still looking calm, since he doesn’t know what exactly is going on with that cause at the moment. He leaves that monitoring room while calling for Mike who is now sleeping.When he just enters that bedroom, he is shocked by Victor’s coming who suddenly enters that apartment room in a panic state. Victor runs so fast toward his bedroom to pick his Rolls-Royce key.“Hey, what’s wrong?”
The Heir of the Family 152 - Not That Simple
In the same night, not long before midnight, Lucas takes Mr. Carter with him to one of his labs. It’s the same lab where they conduct their mysterious project.At this time, they haven’t started the work yet. But there are already five scientists inside that lab, looking busy preparing themselves with all the safety and cleaning all the tools they are going to use.Meanwhile, Lucas and Mr. Carter nonchalantly enter that lab without wearing any safety lab coats. Right now, Lucas is introducing about his project to Mr. Carter just likes what he has promised.“You are telling me, you are creating a vaccine here? Then, what’s the need to keep it a secret,” says Mr. Carter as a response to what Lucas has told him so far.He then averts his attention to Lucas, and Lucas only nods gently with a solemn look. But somehow, he feels there’s still something that Lucas hasn’t told him.“Why? Everyone has been creating vaccines since the pandemic outbreak. New types of viruses emerge, and new vacc
The Heir of the Family 153 - Trapped
Everyone can give their own conspiracy theory. But most people speculate that one minister lady was put into jail with fabricated issues by demands from some figures who have strong influence on a global scale.For that reason, Lucas finds the risk that he is going to meet the same fate as that health minister lady if he lets people know.“In 2017, she was sentenced to be jailed for four years. And guess what? In December 2019, a pandemic broke out,” says Lucas.“That’s one hell of a chaotic conspiracy theory you have there. Are you serious with that? Are you telling me that the WHO was behind all of that pandemic issue? Give me a break,” refutes Mr. Carter skeptically.“I never said it was them. It could be anyone. But one thing for sure, it needs something with huge influence to do such a thing on a global scale.”“But you don’t have any proof either,” says Mr. Carter.“I don’t have any proof for that one in the past. They are all just conspiracy theories by some people. But I know
The Heir of the Family 154 - She Left Nothing
Mr. Carter becomes annoyed and snatches back the note. He slams that note to the table, and then taps the note with his index finger as he conveys his condition. “This is my last offer. I don't care if you are going to kill me after this. I will have no part in any of your projects until you provide my request.” “But we are fighting with time here.” “If anyone dies, it will only hold down your progress. With some luck, I can assure you that you will see the result next year.” “Next year? That’s too long!” “Kid, I’m confident with my ability. I can find you a bunch of vaccine candidates in just a month. And I believe your team already has a few of them. But it will take more time to test them out. Testing them out to find one that effectively works is like a lottery. It could even take a year, five years, or even a decade.” He ends the talk as he turns away and takes his leave. He even prevents Lucas from taking him home by immediately taking out his phone to order a taxi. “Call
The Heir of the Family 155 - A Message
Viona approaches them with rigid steps as she keeps looking at that burned down house.“Victor! What’s going on here? What happened?” she asks with an awry face.“Well, you can see it yourself,” replies Victor.“That’s not the kind of answer I’m expe… God-damn it! Can’t you take me seriously just for once?!”“Easy, Viona! It’s just an accident, and…”Mike tries to calm her down, but Viona immediately casts him away by pushing Mike’s chest with the tip of her middle finger.She then stands right in front of Victor, and brings her face closer expecting a comprehensive explanation.“Like he said. It was an accident,” says Victor.“Accident how? What about that ugly bWitch? I know you leave this house to her. The house is still one of Counterbrand’s properties. And take a look at what happened to the house next door. If they file a lawsuit…”“She is no longer here. She has left, going back to her home in Canada,” Mike informs.Viona averts her attention to Mike, and squints her eyes with

“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,
