In the early afternoon, Victor and Mike are already back at the Counterbrand main office building. And just like this morning, Victor also asks Mike to not leave the office because he plans to leave the office early for whatever agenda he is going to do. “I’ll go get Judy first,” says Victor as he leaves that parking area. When he is heading to the elevator, he finds Judy is in the copier section inside one small department store on that first floor. Eventually, he also finds Oliver there talking with Judy. And his first impression is nothing good, thinking that Oliver might have been flirting with his cute little sister. And of course, he never liked Oliver since the first day he met him at Counterbrand. And indeed, right now, Oliver is trying to secure a chance to invite Judy for a drink. “Do you have any free time after this? I’d like to have a drink with you if you don’t mind,” says Oliver while Judy is still waiting for his documents to be copied. “I’m not so sure about this
Despite the fact that Lt. Schneider doesn’t show his interest for this small thug, that lady officer keeps explaining to him about that man a bit further. Because she has a lead for the other one whose name has been mentioned before. “He had been in and out of jail on a few occasions. Most of them are carjacking and house burglary. And it looks like we also have enough information on this Clark in question. He could be this man’s partner in crime. There was one occasion when they both got caught together for car theft.” “Partner, huh? Could it be that they argued over the split money after doing a crime, and then that man killed him?” mumbles Lt. Schneider in his deep thoughts. He then issues his men to look for that man with the name Clark. But even after that, that fat cop is still looking unsatisfied by that first presumption. They don’t find any traces of another man in that apartment room, except the traces from that one man who has been killed. One thing that comes to his min
Weirdly, at the moment, Lt. Schneider looks so annoyed with the fact they have Clark Newell in jail. With that strong alibi, there’s no longer possible for him to accuse that man of being a murderer. He already had a witness, and all he needed to do was to force that man to be the culprit, and then get the credit for that case. Apparently, he really wanted to catch that man as the killer, even though he might not be the real killer. Cristian Barrios was just a small insignificant thug. This fat cop cares not about that man’s death, and has no concern to look for the motive and the real killer who did it. But he just loses the chance to solve that case and has to continue with the investigation. And the thing that makes him even more annoyed is the ones who caught Clark on the street, Officer Frank and Officer Morgan from the patrol unit. “You are telling me you caught him just because he was naked in public?” asks that fat cop by restraining his rage. “Yes!” Frank answers curtly w
He thought that a man like Dennis would understand him and Counterbrand’s real position regarding that defamation. He forgot that Dennis is the kind of man who was once resigned from Laundrix Wilson only because of some bad judgement on that company.Now Victor is realizing that Dennis is the type of man who doesn’t want to compromise with just anything.“Well, I get it. It won’t be easy for Counterbrand right now. Not after that defamation on me that has also damaged Counterbrand’s image,” says Victor, trying to respect Dennis’s decision.“No, please!” Dennis interrupts him with some mixed feeling written on his face. “My decision has nothing to do with what happened between you and Albert’s son. I’m just in a position where I can’t just accept any offer from any company at the moment,” explains Dennis.Victor frowns his face with some curiosity. But then, his attention is averted slightly to the activity of those scary looking guys in the garage.“Is it because of them?” asks Victor
Vincenzo ends his word with some annoying smile as he keeps walking backwards, away from Mike.But then, as he turns around, he finds Victor has just been out of the apartment room, and is now right in front of him. But he just keeps walking nonchalantly, and then pats Victor on the shoulder.“You can show your joy, anger, or your sadness in front of people. But don't involve your emotion in making decisions,” says Vincenzo before opening the door to get back into the apartment room.Victor’s face turns so serious, thinking of the reason behind Vincenzo’s words. He knows this should be about Vincenzo making his mistake, and they should be the ones who lecture him. But it seems like Victor finds Vincenzo’s words have more weight on him, hence he decides to just be silent.Meanwhile, that man named Clark Newell has just been bailed out from the jail by a lawyer, He is Elijah Miller from SFM Law Firm, that one lawyer who defended Emma against Victor two months ago.Clark himself doesn’t
In the end, that one man dies by that torture. And Nico looks so satisfied with what he has done. He grins so mad as he wipes his bloody face. Right when his grinning stops, he turns his attention to Elijah Miller, and issues him with one command. “Find out who is looking for my head!” “But, Nico! There’s no guarantee that you are the target here,” Elijah argues. “Two men have died. And you are telling me they are not looking for my head?! Get out of here, and do what I’m telling you to do!” Elijah immediately takes his leave. He can only shake his head at Nico's unreasonable madness. It’s clear he was the one who killed one of them, but he included Clark into his counting too. That lawyer has long been regretting his decision to work with a mad man like Nico. But he just couldn't see any way out to get away from him. In the next few days, Nico’s henchmen are busy investigating about Barrios’s murder. Meanwhile, the one who killed that man is still chilling so calmly with his ci
He then picks Leonard out by putting Leonard’s left hand around his shoulder. Meanwhile, Mike himself is holding a liquor bottle in his left hand. He takes him out that way, and keeps saying that Leonard is his boss who is just so drunk at the moment.But there is one bartender who intends to go to the restroom, and finds Mike and Leonard’s situation a bit odd.“What’s wrong with him?” he asks.“He just so drunk! I need to take him back home,” replies Mike.That bartender squints his eyes, doubting Mike’s story. He takes a look at Leonard a bit closer, but Mike immediately wards him off.“Be careful! He just wet his pants just now,” he says.But that man is still looking so doubtful with Mike. He can’t just let some stranger take another stranger out in that condition from that nightclub.“And who are you?” he asks.“I’m his driver,” replies Mike, starting to look so busy rummaging his pocket.He then shows his identity as a driver that works for Counterbrand, and tells that man that
Leonard becomes so frightened, turning his face away with his eyes closed, still raising up both of his trembling hands above his head. “Please don't kill me! I still have a family that depends their whole life on me,” he wails. He keeps wailing, saying “please” without any response from Victor. A few moments later, he becomes a bit confused and curious, since the situation around him is so quiet. He thought that everyone had left him, and so he dares to open his eyes slowly as he turns his face forward. But he finds Victor is still there pointing the gun at him. Thinking that there might be a bit of hesitation in Victor to kill him because of his wailing earlier, he immediately falls down and holds Victor's legs while begging for mercy. And he continues his cries, saying there is his wife and his daughter waiting for him at home. Mike just sighs and takes his face away, noticing that Victor is wavering again in his intention to kill someone. He admits it, killing someone for the
