The Heir of the Family 235 - What Did You Do?
When Mrs. Emilia directly expresses her condolences to Nora, Victor is just silently standing in front of the bed where Grace is still lying unconsciously. He notices the condition of Grace’s left hand. And so, he slowly walks closer to her while he keeps observing that left hand.“Victor?” asks Mrs. Emilia softly, expecting him to also express his condolences to Leonard’s wife.But Victor doesn’t give any response. The tip of his fingers slightly touch the part of Grace’s hand that is wrapped by bandages.He begins to suspect that the girl was committing a suicide. He can’t imagine how chaotic the situation in that house could be, something that is really out of his calculation.Nora notices Victor’s concern. But she doesn’t want anyone to think bad about her daughter or Leonard. So she tries to bring up a story to cover that issue.“I heard a story that she often got bullied in the school by her friends,” says Nora.“Huh?” responses Mrs. Emilia with a startled face. “Did she…”“Yes,
The Heir of the Family 236 - Viona's Grudge
Mia is still thinking so bad of Victor. She believes that Victor is a boss of gangsters, and that prejudice is also affecting her view on everyone around Victor, including Judeo.And the fact Judeo enters that lobby along with a peculiar man with his distinctive muslim outfit only makes her judgment on them even worse.“What are you doing here?” asks Mia coldly, talking with a sullen face toward Judeo.Khaled doesn’t look so happy about how that receptionist girl treats Judeo. He believes that they come there at Atkinson’s request.“Young lady! I believe, as a receptionist, this is not how you should serve a guest. Has this company's standard of service been so low treating guests like this?” asks Khaled rhetorically.But Mia ignores him, and calls the securities instead. She asks them to check on those two people's belongings.And of course, it makes Judeo a bit panicked. The truth is, there are some devices inside his bag that he shouldn’t let anyone know about.“Hey, what’s this? W
The Heir of the Family 237 - Not As Good As You Thought
Judeo raises his head slightly to see Viona leave. He looks so clueless, not expecting that Viona would be so mad because of it. Victor arrives and has the chance to see Viona’s mad face. He tries to stop her, but Viona just walks away. “Um, did I miss something?” asks Victor. But Judeo just ignores him and tries to close his eyes. Victor averts his attention to Judy, and finds Judy looking so gloomy with so many thoughts in her head. That’s when Victor mistakenly thinks that there must be something between Viona and Judy. Without asking anything to Judy, he just leaves that office to see Viona. “Hey, what is this? Did she make another mistake again? Can’t you be a bit…” “What?” Viona interrupts him with a wrinkled face. “Did you think there was something between me and Judy?” “Then what?” replies Victor impatiently. “You just left with that face again, like a balloon that is going to explode. And there I found Judy looking upset behind her desktop.” “Did she look upset to you?
The Heir of the Family 238 - It's All Money
It’s still so early in the afternoon, and Victor already decides to get back to the hideout with the others. They want to immediately respond to the issue of the spreading of the nude videos recorded by Leonard. Victor is worried about the risk that the video involving Judy will spread more widely.On the journey, Judeo is back to sleep at the back seat. While Victor, who sits in the front seat beside Mike, keeps getting messages from Jimmy. But Victor ignores him, not even reading the message he receives.Jimmy even calls him a few times, until Victor decides to just turn off his phone. Mike just glances a bit, and then lets out a little chuckle, noticing that Victor really wants to treat his issue one at a time seriously.“You could just ask for their help again?” Mike suggests.“Are you talking about the issue of these videos? Asking those people from La Marca to fix this? This has nothing to do with them. There’s no way they are going to listen to my demand,” Victor argues.After
The Heir of the Family 239 - It's Coming
A few moments ago, Atkinson himself has just been visiting one of the labs in his pharmaceutical factory. The Quality Control manager has informed him regarding the problem with their instruments, while the people from Counterbrand haven't come to them yet. “We’ve been using the same methods, gradient system, and the same column. All these conditions and systems were effective. But recently, we’ve never had any good separation. There are always tailings in the graphics. There’s no way we are going to do any calculation using the data from this kind of terrible separation.” “Have you tried a different column?” asks Atkinson. “We have, but to no avail. I believe the issue is not the column, nor the gradient system. Usually, there’s no issue with this system and the columns so far. We are using the same method as what the people in the Research and Development use for these samples. I believe there’s something wrong with the instruments.” And so, that skinny old man Atkinson can only
The Heir of the Family 240 - Don't Forget About Your Status
Viona casts her without any shouting. It’s just a low whispering voice in a composed manner. But it’s effective to plant the fear in Mia’s memory. Mia can’t say a word, as she feels like the one who is staring down on her right now is the real devil. She can only hold her left cheek as she tries to get away in so much fear. “Damn!” mumbles one of the workers who happened to just get out of the apartment. “What? Did I miss something?” asks the other one in whispers to his partner from behind. “Yeah, right! You are lucky you don’t have to witness how scary Ms. Viona is.” In the end, Mia just leaves heading to her apartment by walking, with a red cheek and a bit of blood on her left nostril. Seems like Viona really didn’t hold back in hitting her face with that one slap. It is certain that Mia’s date with Lucas for the day is cancelled. And there’s no guarantee that she is going to be able to secure another chance to have a date with him in the near future. “You don’t need to go th
The Heir of the Family 241 - Shift + Delete
Before the dark, before letting Vincenzo leave to do his job, Victor gives him a rehearsal first. Despite Vincenzo already saying that he is not going to kill anyone, doesn’t mean Victor will just let him leave that easily.He teaches Vincenzo how to win people’s trust without inviting any fight. Because what they need to do is only to delete all traces of those videos without creating any enemy with anyone.And now, Vincenzo is trying to repeat the example of conversation that Victor has given to him. But somehow, Victor finds him a bit silly putting on a stupid grin and some kind of idiotic gesture while repeating the dialogue.“What are you? An amateur?” asks Victor.“Not really!” replies Vincenzo with a plain face. “I just try to mimic the way you handle things. If I have to do it your way, I just think that mimicking you is the best possible way to do it.”Victor’s face is wrinkled by that sarcasm. “Am I that stupid in your eyes?”“Did I do it wrong?” replies Vincenzo plainly.“N
The Heir of the Family 242 - We Are Friends
The next target is a man living in an apartment building. Fortunately, the man they are going to visit happens to be there at the moment. The man inside that apartment room opens the door slightly, with the brass chain still holding the door. One middle-age man with glasses shows his face a little and asks, “Who?” “I’m a friend of Leonard,” replies Victor. “Can I have a moment? There’s something serious I need to talk about with you?” “Leonard? Which Leonard are you talking about?” asks that man. Without second thought, Vincenzo coldly takes out his gun with the silencer, and then shoots the brass chain that holds the door. He forces his way to get in and pins the man on the floor, and takes his face closer to that man’s face to intimidate him by putting the gun on that man’s forehead. Victor also gets inside and closes the door. He doesn’t forget to lock it, and then observes the situation around that apartment room. He has confirmed it from Judeo that the man is a single bache

“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

358 - Zip His Mouth
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

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

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,
