He has become a President at Counterbrand for a month, and hasn’t done anything significant for the company. If possible, he really wants to cut any ties with these mafia things, so that he can focus himself with the task as the CEO.
But the issue with Chappy is not as trivial as it may look. Just after what he has gone through with Andrew Wilson, he now has to deal with the people from La Marca. He didn’t expect that a man like Chappy would be that important to them.
He intends to ask Viona to take Judy with her. But Viona just leaves without saying anything. She is really so pissed off with how things went in the enemy’s favor.
Victor sighs by shaking his head, knowing that he is going to have another debate with Viona later.

The Heir of the Family 193 - We Need A Doctor
Judeo helps Chappy to put the gloves on his hands. He glances a little at Chappy, and finds a sense of indecisiveness on Chappy’s face. “What? Feeling not ready?” asks Judeo. “Nothing!” replies Chappy. “Don’t tell me you are chickened out now,” says Judeo as he taps both of Chappy’s hands, just to make sure that the gloves are fixed. Chappy gets into the ring with so many thoughts in his head. It’s not like he is doubting his decision to challenge Victor. He just finds Victor so much different at the moment. Victor doesn’t even take a look at him. He keeps shadow-boxing at one corner of the ring, to not let his body cool down. Judeo also gets into the ring, but only to tell them the rule. “Hey, I don’t know all the rules in boxing. Just don’t hit too low on the hip, not on the back of the head, and never use your elbow.

He rushes to Mike, and tries to prevent him from killing Chappy.“No! Let’s take him to a doctor!”“If he dies after that, the doctor will surely know how he dies and who kills him.

The only thing that comes to Mike’s mind is that a part of Victor’s ribs may have been broken by Chappy. He just didn’t expect a junkie like Chappy could inflict that much damage to Victor.“This is what happens when you are too naive and feed a dog without knowing anything about keeping a pet.”“He is not a dog,” Victor refutes.“But he did bite you,” replies Mike plainly.“Well, it proves that he is no longer a junkie.”“So? Does that mean you gain more interest in petting him?”“Dude, please! Stop looking down on fellow human beings.
