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
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
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
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 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
Elijah Miller also comes to Nico Curbelo’s house in the middle of the night. His coming has nothing to do with Victor’s busy schedule during that night. But he comes to Nico, to inform him about the development of his investigation regarding the death of Cristian Barrios.“I don’t know why, but there were seven of your men involved in an arsonist attack last month. Barrios and Clark were one of them. And the one house they attacked is the house of a man named Victor William,” says Elijah.Nico’s face turns so amused a bit. But only a little, until he suddenly lets out his loud laughter. But again, that laughter also immediately vanishes, and that man turns back into his cold mode.He approaches Elijah, and stares at Elijah’s eyes so close. But he is not trying to judge if Elijah is lying or not. The truth is, he just got the message from someone else that a man named Victor is heading to his place at the moment.“Did anyone tell those men to attack his house?” he asks.Elijah just rai
The truth is, Leonard never had any link with Nico Curbelo. This is just a plot of a man named Dominic, the last man that Victor visited last night. And eventually, that man named Dominic, with his unique half sleepy eyes and pale face, is also attending that place by bringing two sexy girls on both sides. Vincenzo notices the way that pale-faced man is currently behaving much differently than the way he had behaved last night. As someone who had been a longtime professional hitman in the past, Vincenzo has an inkling that the man named Dominic may be a maniac or a psychopath. Vincenzo calmly takes out his phone to inform Victor about the coming of those people. “Do you see them? Especially that man Dominic! I don’t think he is just any geeky and clumsy bachelor that you had seen yesterday.” [Yeah, I see them! Just stay there and keep an eye on things] Even Nora looks a bit confused with the coming of those peculiar people. She never knew that her husband would have any connection
Viona is shocked. Not because Victor falls on Leonard’s coffin. She is shocked because of what Victor just did to that pale-faced man. She admits the man named Dominic has gone too far with his terrible speech. But in Viona’s mind, Victor would be the last one that would be triggered by that kind of thing. This is the first time she finds that easy going Victor hit someone in the face. Judy calls Victor as she intends to help him. But Mike immediately halts her. And so, Judeo also holds Judy’s shoulder from behind. Mike doesn’t do anything to help Victor, because he knows that Victor will be just fine. He just keeps looking at Nico coldly, and Nico knows he has been observed by Mike. “Stay cool you guys,” says Nico as he slightly stretches his arms to halt the four men behind him. “Let’s just leave this place!” However, even after saying that, Nico is still standing in his place, still locking his gaze on Mike. On the side of the road, a few of Nico’s henchmen look alert. Those w
