The Heir of the Family 218 - Vincenzo Has The Talk
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
The Heir of the Family 219 - The Mad Nico
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
The Heir of the Family 220 - Leonard And His Odd Fetish
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
The Heir of the Family 221 - Have A Mercy
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
The Heir of the Family 222 - He Is Looking For You
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
The Heir of the Family 223 - The Meeting
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
The Heir of the Family 224 - The Three Leaders
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
The Heir of the Family 225 - His Fear and Nightmare
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,

“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte

So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor

359 - The Price Of A Trust
On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n

Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th

357 - Questioning Her Intention
After all, he has made an agreement with Frank for this one, and he doesn’t want to screw Frank’s scenario in attacking Adam. Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told

356 - Weak Testimonies
The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun

355 - I'm Out
Even Frank isn’t getting a peaceful night either. There are so many things that don't click with his beautiful mind. He has learned quite far about the background behind that serial murder case. He knows that Victor has something to do with this, and has already had a theory that this led to the death of Atkinson. “So, Adam got Victor and this Johann guy at the same time. Does that mean all your theories are true?” asks Morgan. Frank doesn’t answer him. He just sits there with a flat face, while busy rubbing his ring finger which no longer has any ring on it. His mind keeps working on the narration to conclude all the theory and deduction that he has made so far. “But this man, Cooper! He said he came to Lucas to warn him about this serial killer,” he says. “But Lucas said that it was Cooper who tried to kill him in the toilet,” argues David. “That’s the problem,” Frank refutes. “We have an eyewitness that this man, Cooper, had a fight with someone wearing Arabian outfits in the

354 - When Being Innocent Is Not Enough
He hits Victor again, while he is still pinned down on the ground. That hit only looks like a joking tap, as if he is agitating Victor to release his rage. And indeed, it’s effective to make Victor even more infuriated and mad. But then, just as Victor raises his left hand intending to continue his assault, someone just shoots him with a gun. Fortunately, it only hit his left shoulder from behind. But because of this shot, he is no longer in a mount position pinning Johann down. Weirdly, that shot only makes Johann infuriated. He gets up, and shows how annoyed he is with the one man who just shot Victor. “Yoou!!!” He grumbles with a low voice, before shouting out his anger. “You’ve screwed everything! That’s his moment, how dare you screw it!!!” Still within his madness, Johann recklessly rushes toward that man who is still holding his gun. And then… “Bang! Bang!!” Two shots in the chest put Johann down. That man approaches Victor who is now trying to get back up by holding his

353 - Release That Beast!
Weirdly, for whatever reason, Johann didn’t kill Lucas. Cooper finds Lucas still breathing albeit no longer conscious. He immediately takes out a phone, and informs Victor and Vincenzo about that situation. However, as he just intends to leave that restroom, one security guard and two cops appear. Yes, there are already several cops around this building, because Lucas had shared to the police about the possibility of Victor would attack him. There are also Officer Frank and a few of his team among them in the outside. As those two cops notice Lucas’s condition in the restroom, they immediately put Cooper down on the floor. They then cuff Cooper’s hand behind his back. Of course, Cooper tries to break free, looking so impatient to not let his target away. “You stupid! You got the wrong person. He is out there, a man with an Arabian outfit!” “Silence! Whatever you want to say, you can explain it later in the office. You have the right to call an attorney. If you are unable to do so,
