Emma stands there in the middle of the room while holding her head. She seems like trying to figure something out. 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
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
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
In fact, even though Judeo and Chappy were busy playing games, they are also getting the same notification when the connection from the two cameras in that house is cut off.The game they are playing in full screen suddenly minimized from the display because of that notification. 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?”
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
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
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
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
