The Heir of the Family 255 - A Man With Principles
Victor becomes silent for a moment. His facial expression turns so dark and serious. Viona approaches him, but he immediately gives her a sign that he needs to be alone for a while. And so, he walks back toward the office of the marketing manager, as Dennis continues with his proposal. [I believe you are already acquainted with each other. I saw the two of you at Andrew’s wedding.] “That Mr. Gambino? He is working for Albert Wilson, right?” asks Victor before he locks the door. [Yeah, he just resigned this morning. I don’t know why, but he asked my help to find him a new job. You see, I planned to invite him to work at my garage. But my business is too small to have four employees. That’s when I thought about accepting your offer, with the condition I can bring these four with me] [I might sound selfish here. But honestly, you can see that I’m asking for help. Of course, by offering my help too. I’ll do my best to help Counterbrand grow so big, so big that the adding of these fou
The Heir of the Family 256 - Chappy's Concern
Gambino’s face turns so dark, like he is so objected to what Dennis has done. It’s such a serious matter, something that Dennis shouldn’t just decide one-sidedly without discussing it with everyone. “You should have talked about this with me first!” says Gambino coldly. “He is a clean businessman. What are you afraid of?” Dennis interrupts. “I know he is a clean businessman. But with us meddling into his business, sooner or later, you are going to corrupt him just like what has happened to Albert Wilson,” Gambino argues. Dennis gently shakes his head, looking so persistent with his decision “I’ll make sure the money in Counterbrand is clean from our dirty money. That way, you can support your family without so much thought. Leave the business to me, you only need to play your role as our leader in La Marca, and as my subordinate at that Counterbrand company.” After saying that, Dennis turns away. As he keeps walking away, he tells Gambino that they are going to visit Counterbrand
The Heir of the Family 257 - The Psycho Dominic Benson
Bobby is squinting his eyes, looking a bit eerie with the oddity of his partner. He then suddenly knocks Chappy’s head a few times like he is knocking on the door.“Hello! Whoever is down there, get out of my buddy’s head. Please, let him free!”Bobby shakes his head, trying to cast out any devil that takes control over his buddy’s mind. And so, those two stupid thugs start having quarrels like how they used to. That car is swaying again, like they are doing something fun inside it.“Come on, Bro! I’m dead serious!” says Chappy as he takes his head away.“Aren’t you going too far with your suspicions?” asks Gambino.“I’m just a bit worried about Victor. He might have become a target now. It feels like, those Curbelo’s men are scheming something bad to my bro,” r
The Heir of the Family 258 - I Know
Before midnight, Victor gets a call from an unknown number. He is a bit reluctant to answer it, but it keeps coming even after he ignores it a few times.In the end, he gives the phone to Judeo and tells him to answer that call. Right after Judeo answers the call, he hears a voice that is so familiar to him.[Bro, it’s me Chappy! There’s something serious that I need to tell you]Immediately, Judeo gives the phone back to Victor without saying anything. Victor receives it with some curiosity.[Bro? Are you there?]“Hey, how did you get my number?”[I asked Gambino before. Anyway, there is something that I want to tell you. This is about the people you had visited before. About one of them named Dominic Benson]Victor’s face immediately turns serious. He pushes his chair closer to the monitor desk, and then turns on the loudspeaker on the phone.“Yeah, what about him?”[You see, my friend said that man runs a business, something like an adult video studio. He also has his own porn site
The Heir of the Family 259 - A New Family
Victor closes his explanation with a serious face toward Dennis, like he hints for something. Dennis turns his attention to Gambino, like he is trying to understand the real meaning behind Victor’s last words.“La Marca? What is this all about, Victor?” asks Dennis with his clueless face.Victor just smiles at Dennis’s act of ignorance. He even chuckles a bit before he continues with his words, telling them that he has known it all.“I took Chappy to his home, to Pangea Vistas Apartments. And I saw the photo of your group band, La Marca. I’ve long known about the origin of that band from Jimmy,” Victor continues.“What does it have to do with this?” asks Gambino.“Nothing,” replies Victor curtly before he averts his attention again to Dennis Murphy and stares him down with a cold gaze. “I happened to find a boy amongst those pictures, who wore an outfit like a waiter or a bar boy. It's just that his face reminds me of you.”The truth is, after his visit to Mandy’s apartment, from that
The Heir of the Family 260 - Dirty Scheme
That psycho laughs so loud by himself, like he has been possessed by the evil spirit. Even his saliva has been leaking out from one corner of his lip due to how amused he is. But that psycho is still laughing with widened mad eyes.The two adult actresses downstairs feel so eerie with that laugh. That man named Max immediately escorts them out with some awry face.“But this is not enough,” one of the girls whines with the little money she gets.“That’s still better than losing your life. Just come again next time,” says that man.Now, Dominic is busy cutting a few frames of that one video to get a few pictures of Judy being harassed. He then prints them simply by using normal white paper. His greening becomes even more weird as he cuts those pictures piece to piece.At one moment, a phone call distracts him from his madness. As he checks it out, it is a call from Elijah Miller.“What?!”[Nico issued that you stop prying into Fazio's business for a while. We are not in a position to me
The Heir of the Family 261 - Call Me!
Victor became so furious. His breath is held because of how furious he is. He crumpled up the picture, along with the piece of paper with the phone number on it. Just as he takes a step to leave, Mike appears along with Gambino. They both come because indeed they have realized there is something wrong with him. Especially now, after they find Victor looking so furious. The first thing that catches Mike's attention now is the papers that Victor is currently crumpling in his hand. “What is it?” asks Mike. But Victor walks away, and Mike immediately holds his left shoulder to prevent him from leaving that place. “You can be angry over something. But remember, never make any decision before you regain your total control over your anger,” says Mike. Victor takes a deep breath. After that, Mike raises his left hand like he is asking for those papers. Victor gives them to him and then turns away. Mike sighs as he realizes what those papers are for. “So it got viral?” After that, Mike
The Heir of the Family 262 - Don't You Miss It?
After it finishes, he takes himself away from his desktop. He goes to the kitchen looking for something to drink. He tries to calm himself down by putting the cold drink of that liquor bottle on the back of his head before drinking it.Without him noticing, Judeo has gained control over that site, and has already made that one video to be inaccessible by anyone. Considering the thumbnail isn’t showing anything of Judy, he just lets it there, not completely deleting the thumbnails on the site.People who visit the site will still be able to see that there are newly released videos. But they can’t access it, and will only find “404 not found” notification on the video streamer.“Hey, Victor! Come look at this one,” he calls.Victor hurriedly visits that monitoring room, and Judeo immediately shows him that the site has released Judy’s video. But Victor is still looking composed, as Judeo also shows him that the video has been made inaccessible by anyone.“The video is no longer there. B

Returning the Favor (Extra)
“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

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,
