After that, Gambino ends the call. But he immediately makes another call, to inform another leader of La Marca about his intention to hold that meeting.
[When? Where]
“This Friday, 8 p.m. I plan to use Uncle Minh’s restaurant. I'll let you know later if anything changes.”
It’s a quick one. And the man on the phone just immediately cuts off the phone without saying any closure to their conversation.
After finishing with that one, only then does Gambino intend to get into the car. But then, he notices someone from afar in that same parking area.
Apparently, that man has been observing Gambino for a while. And Gambino holds the door, and stares back at that man with a solemn look.
He is Dennis Murphy, and Gambino is no stranger to that man’s face and his car. After all, Dennis was the one who prom

Your environment will keep distracting you from who you are, taking you away from the right path that you choose.A naive kid who doesn’t even have the heart to kill an ant, could just turn into a psycho. A lovely caring mother could turn into a cold-hearted killer to protect the one she loves. Even a professor of theology could just turn into the devil given the circumstances.This is not about justifying good people who choose the wrong way of life. This is about reality, that it’s never easy to stay being Mr. Nice Guy for everyone, for every given time. The wise could just make the worst decision when he loses control over himself.“Just you wait! I’ll make you pay for this!”He keeps slamming that san
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. Be sportive yourselves, ‘cause I can’t stay in the ring to be the referee.” “Are you leaving?” asks Chappy with a bit of an awry face. “Stupid! I need to hit th
The Heir of the Family 194 - Just Call Him
Victor is petrified with a pale face to think about that outcome. He realizes he has gone too far to vent out his anger on Chappy.But really, he doesn’t want to let Chappy die. 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. Even if he doesn't die, we’ll still have to explain how he got hurt and who did it,” replies Mike.It shuts Victor silent to hear those two kinds of scenarios. He is really not ready for that consequence yet, and begins to regret losing control because of his anger.At the same time, Chappy starts coughing and is back to his consciousness. It averts those two’s attention.Chappy tries to get up since he doesn’t realize his current condition. But Judeo prevents him and holds him down on the canvas.“No, Chappy. Don’t force yourself. Just stay there for a moment. Can you see my fingers?”“Huh? Um, it’s, it’s three? Why? Did I lose th
The Heir of the Family 195 - Bye!
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. He is not a dog.”At the moment, Victor is being examined by the same doctor who treated his broken knuckles a few weeks ago. He is Dr. Chris Lamar, a black man with a smooth bald h

Is there something that I can help with?” asks Judy awkwardly. “Really, this is not something I can ask you for help,” replies Viona curtly.
