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
Someone comes approaching Elijah’s car. And so, he puts the phone on hold for a moment before that one man talks to him. “Just like what you said. Those people were looking not only for Barrios and Clark, but also for anyone involved in the arsonist attack that occurred in Ridgeview. Unfortunately, it seems like it was really our men’s doing. I don’t know who gave them the order to burn that house,” says that man. Elijah just gives that man a nod, and so, that man takes his leave. But Elijah suddenly calls him back. “Hold on! I want you to keep this a secret from Nico,” he says. “Why?” asks that man with a confused face. “You should know it already, how mad that man is. We need to make sure, if this has anything to do with us or not. They could just want to find the people who burned that house, and of course this has nothing to do with our group. If we can clear this issue ourselves, it’s better to not let Nico know.” That man just nods once and leaves him. But Elijah takes the
After Finishing with that one warning, Gambino releases him. He tells him to put the sunglasses back on before forcing him back to his chair.Gambino then explains to him the system of the auction they are doing so far. It’s not the word from those three leaders, but only his own way to remind Albert of the system in the auction they run.“There’s no link between that man and our staff. He bid that ring as a customer, and your son ate his bait. You should have blamed your son, not trying to kill that man. Because of your action, one of our men has been kept captive. And now, that man is exacting retribution for the attack you made on him, as a cost to free the one man he is holding,” Gambino continues.“So what? What if he keeps one of your lackeys? Are you saying that I should sacrifice myself to save that one man?” Albert argues impatiently.Suddenly, one of those three, the one on the right side, slams the table so hard. For the first time, that one speaks directly to Albert with s
After getting that reply, only then does Dennis leave that place and close the door back. Gambino averts his attention to Mandy, and asks her to just quit the job with Counterbrand, as he is worried that Mandy would get into trouble if she gets too close with Victor.But Mandy is chuckling to hear such a suggestion. She gently shakes her head as if not having the same idea as Gambino regarding Victor.“Why? I love my job there,” replies Mandy as she gets down from the table. “I did find him interesting. But it’s not like I’m trying to dig too deep about him.”As she walks toward the back door, she pats once the shoulder of the old man who is still engrossed with the music. When she gets outside, she can no longer find Dennis around that place.She walks down that alley and happens to see a taxi. She immediately whistles with a high note simply by using her two fingers on her tongue.“Taxi!”And as usual, she always manages to stop that taxi after that one loud call. And off she goes,
