The Heir of the Family 151 - The Embers of the Old Dream
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?”
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

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
The Heir of the Family 156 - Come On, Bro!
One of the people they suspect is of course La Marca, with the thought it might have something to do with Chappy. But they can't ignore other possibilities, just like the recent conflict between Victor and Saul De Stasio.Mike grabs Victor’s shoulder from behind as he takes his leave, intending to investigate that incident a bit more.“I’ll be out for a while. Vincenzo, come with me,” he issues.He gazes so coldly at Chappy who is still standing dumbfounded at the door. It sends a chill down to Chappy’s spine. He just moves away without Mike saying anything to him.Just as Mike and Vincenzo get out of that monitoring room, Douglas enters that apartment.“Oh, are you leaving?” asks Douglas as he cancels his intention to close the door.“Yeah! About the information you’ve collected before, we will discuss them later,” replies Mike as he approaches the exit door.“Well, should I continue following that guy now? If possible, I want to stay here and have some good sleep for once in a while
The Heir of the Family 157 - Clues From an Ex-junkie
That morning, Mike and Vincenzo are still observing the situation around Victor’s house that has been burned. They are just betting on the chance that the perpetrators will come back only to see what they have done.It’s some kind of trend among the arsonists, that they tend to get back to the scene for whatever kind of reason. But somehow, they don’t get anything even after more than three hours to be there.“Well, I think it’s such a naive thing to say that they are going to go back here. They are not simply arsonists. Like I said before, it was a message left by gangsters. They never come back just to check whether the message has been delivered or not,” says Vincenzo.Mike takes a deep breath with a tired face. He doesn’t refute, because he actually has the same opinion.He came to that place only because he didn’t have much choice. Because there is really not that much lead to follow.Mike starts the car intending to leave. But then, he runs into a familiar car from the other dir
The Heir of the Family 158 - We're Not That Bad
But then, Victor averts his attention to Judeo, who is now still enjoying his best time in an alternate world inside his dream. It makes Victor a bit disappointed at him, because it should be Judeo who gives such information, not an ex-junkie like Chappy.“Hey, wake up!” says Victor by patting Judeo’s cheek.But Junior wakes up first instead of Judeo. He is shocked a bit, because he never intended to have a sleep in the first place.“Oh, what time is it now?” he asks as he stretches his arms.Despite only getting 3 hours of sleep, his face seems fresher than Judeo who actually looks so tired with eyes not fully open yet. Victor forces Judeo to stand on his feet and tells him to move to the bedroom.Unlike the previous days, Victor decides to not go to work that early in the morning. He is even doubtful with Mike to be able to go with him to the office, since Mike is still out there with Vincenzo.He looks at Douglas, thinking about asking him to replace Mike. But then, he sees Judeo h

“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,
