No matter how good your heart, no matter how wise you are, it’s almost impossible to be the best of you in every given time and condition. 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
The Heir of the Family 196 - Abandon The Ship

The Heir of the Family 197 - Is It That Important? (A Bonus Chapter)
So far, there have been four companies who cancel their next demands for goods supplies to Counterbrand. But sadly, those four are quite a huge loss.

But Viona and Mrs. Emilia can only put them on hold for the time being. Viona leaves her office to find Victor. Sadly, when she enters Victor’s office, she only finds Judy there. “Oh, Judy! You are here. Where is Victor?” “Victor, he is not here yet. He said he is going to be late. 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. It only makes Judy even more insecure with her status and situation. All she can do is just smile awkwardly. And weirdly, Viona is still standing there, as if she is waiting for Judy to do something. “Come on! Aren’t you going to call hi
The Heir of the Family 198 - Them Again
Before midday, around 11 a.m, Victor arrives at Counterbrand main office building. He just comes by himself without Mike, because Mike himself hasn’t come back to the hideout since Victor left him at the clinic this morning.When he gets to his office, he finds Judy asleep propped up on a couch. At least, he understands how bored she might have been to be alone in that office by herself.Not long since he has been there, Viona and Mrs. Emilia appear. They have been waiting for him for quite a while.“There he is,” says Viona as he rushes inside Victor’s office.It shakes Judy from her sleep, and she immediately gets up with some awry feelings.Now, the three of them look at Victor with some curiosity, especially with the bandages on both of his fists.“What happened to you?” asks Viona. “Whatever, just come with us. We need to talk,” she continues as she heads to the conference room inside that office.Victor looks so clueless. He averts his attention to Judy, only then does Judy expl
The Heir of the Family 199 - Something Odd
Hearing there are two cops looking for Victor, only makes Viona even more infuriated by him.“See! Now they are sending the police here to get you. That old man Albert must have reported you for the scam you had done!”“Viona, please!” says Victor with a tired gesture.“Um, I may not know about that scam thing, but I don’t think this one has anything to do with that,” says Judy.Viona looks at Judy with curiosity. And then, she turns his attention back to Victor, and finds Victor giving an expression as if he is affirming what Judy just said to her.“Are you telling me there are still other crimes that you have committed other than that scam?”“No! That’s not it,” replies Victor curtly and tries to ignore her.He just takes a seat there and closes his face with both hands, looking so lifeless to serve Viona for a further debate.“Judy, just tell Jane to cast out those two cops,” he issues.“Okay!” replies Judy.“Hey, wait!” Viona halts her. “Victor, you can’t just do that. It will onl
The Heir of the Family 200 - The Scene
He knows that he had sent Adam to meet that boy named Adonis. But Adam told him that he didn’t get anything from that boy. He looks at Morgan for a moment. But Officer Morgan doesn’t understand the meaning of his confused face. Because Adam only gave the report to him alone. “Did he say that to you? That Adonis?” asks Officer Frank with so much curiosity. Now, to get such a response, it is Judy who looks confused with him. And then, Officer Frank only nods twice at Judy with an unsure look. When the door of the elevator opens, they just take their leave without saying anything. “What was that?” asks Officer Morgan. “What?” replies Frank, acting like there’s nothing wrong. For the time being, he doesn’t want to share it with his partner, because he believes that he needs to make sure about Judy’s testimonies first. If what Judy told him true, there’s an indication of corruption in his team. That’s not a trivial matter, where he can just arouse suspicion like that. After all, Ad
