The Heir of the Family 282 - I'm Watching You
Lewis shows a bit of a confused face. But he keeps acting normal and approaches Gambino who is now standing behind the cashier desk. He just orders a drink and then has a seat at one empty table.Benigno is not paying that much concern to that journalist coming. He just tells one of the girls to prepare the customer's order before averting his attention back to Atkinson and Victor.Atkinson is still waiting for Victor to accept his apology. But it seems like Victor has his own idea regarding that issue, and is reluctant to accept an apology from that old man.“Please understand, Mr. Atkinson. Your son is already an adult. You shouldn’t be blamed for what your son did, and your son shouldn’t be blamed for what you did either,” says Victor plainly.Atkinson lifts his face with a bit of confusion. But Victor just invites him to also have a seat in front of him, right beside Chappy who is now also enjoying his pasta.“I believe you’ve come all the way only to see me. Why don’t you join us
The Heir of the Family 283 - The Conspiracies
It is something he has feared from the beginning. And now it happens to him while he has to leave that shop without getting what he expected. He heads back to his car with an annoyed face. But then, he becomes even more annoyed as he finds Ellis is no longer there in his car. Even his cakes have also gone. “That son of bitch!” he grumbles. In fact, it’s not only him who has been watching over Victor. At the moment, his activities in tailing Victor have caught Mike’s attention, who has been watching over Victor since Victor left his office. Right after that journalist leaves that place with his car, Mike also starts his Cadillac and then follows that man from behind. After he follows Lewis for quite a while, stopping here and there for a few times, he then calls Vincenzo asking for a replacement in watching over Victor. [Is he a member of gangsters?] “I’m not so sure. I may take a while following this man, maybe until midnight. It seems like he is such a busy one,” says Mike. Me
The Heir of the Family 284 - The 1999/2000 Generation
Lucas immediately ends that call, and drops the phone on his bed. He then sits by closing his face with both hands and starts rubbing it. He realizes that his issue with Victor is not just a little quarrel. It’s clear that Victor has shown that he knows about Lucas’ sinister activities in the lab. And this is the only reason why Lucas can’t just ignore Victor this far. But Emma is different. She has left, has been out of his life, and there’s no way she is going to meddle into his business anymore. He can’t just accept the idea of harming Emma only to lure Victor out of Indiana. But then... “Hold on!” He opens his face, realizing something unusual from his conversation with Elijah. He finds it weird why Elijah seems so much insistent in killing Victor, like he has his own motive. “Why?” he mumbles curiously. And indeed, at the moment, Victor’s situation looks almost untouchable. Even Victor himself doesn’t realize how safe he is now. He has the trustworthy watchers who keep wat
The Heir of the Family 285 - Restart The Game
Those orphans are of course no longer kids. And they are no longer living there at the moment. Most of them have been adopted by their foster parents. A few of them, just like Victor, stayed until they became adults without no one adopting them. The wife takes out a metal ruler out of her bag, and then cuts the page with the help of that rule. Not only the document of orphans who were born in 1999/2000, but she also takes the document of the other orphans who were born in 2000/2001, 2001/2002, and 2002/2003. She folds them, and then puts them into her bag, while the husband keeps looking around his surroundings with so much alertness. After finishing with that, they close that document and then move to another document. They start acting normal again, like they are really trying to find a kid they want to adopt. A few moments later, Mira arrives and asks them if they have found the kid they like. But again, those two only show a confused face. “What is it?” asks Mira. “Can we have
The Heir of the Family 286 - The Real Target
It’s effective in shutting those reporters down. And so, Mira turns away leaving them. But they only give Mira a few seconds of peace before they rush to her again. Those reporters keep swarming Mira, who is now heading to the lobby of the William Enterprise office building. That massive building is Charles William’s main office. There are so many of Charles’ employees in that lobby. But the reporters swarm Mira, because they know she is the current chief of the Children of the Sun Orphanage. “Please, keep them away!” says Mira to the security guards. A few of them nod, and they immediately do as Mira asked. Meanwhile, one of them follows Mira from behind. “Is Charles here?” she asks. “Yes, he has been here since yesterday,” replies the guard. Mira stops for a moment, and turns to that security guard. But she doesn’t say a word, only showing her curious face with some deep thoughts. She suspects Charles William might have already taken that matter seriously even before she comes
The Heir of the Family 287 - The Children of the Sun
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door again, distracting their conversation. It’s just Mira, who is forgetting to give something else to Charles.She comes to Charles in a hurry while taking out a device from her bag. “I forgot to give you this. This is the recorded video of the CCTV in my office. Please have a look at that married couple.”She only gives that device, and then takes her leave. Those three look so curious. Charles plugs the device to his smart tablet and observes the recorded video. There he finds the married couple along with their driver. And of course, Charles’s attention is always focused on the old driver.“Look at that! How confident he is looking at the camera,” says Thompson.Charles zooms in the video, to get a better look at that old man. He even focuses on the old man’s left eye, and notices the scar that is so familiar to him.“It’s really him. I believe he is not this old. He should be around 50 now. And his skin is not this dark,” says Charles.“He faked h
The Heir of the Family 288 - He's Gone Nuts
He intends to get used to the intoxicating drink. But now, he begins to doubt that decision, as he begins to doubt his own sense. In the end, that canned beer is just dropped from his hand.“Seriously? That annoying brat?” he mumbles.[Hey, have you learned about the serial murders that happened here recently. It’s clear that the serial killer is looking for all the adopted kids from our generation. The document of those kids have been stolen from the orphanage last week]“Hey, Viona! What is it now?” asks Victor.[Listen to me, dickhead! Four of our friends have been killed. Fred, Colbie, Dan, and Anthony. They all have been murdered. And Lucas Atkinson might be the next target. You better warn him now]“Ah, um, o, okay!” replies Victor in stammered before he ends the call with a blank face.But then he shuts silent there, thinking about those four men.The truth is, he had always acted like the leader of the pack of that generation. He even became the respected leader in the orphana
The Heir of the Family 289 - Delivering the $500k
Victor does not care much about his surroundings. Luckily for him, not much security guarding that place at the front yard.He tries to open the door, but it’s locked from inside. He tries to hit it with his golf stick. But he can’t open it even after making the door handle busted.In the meantime, Vincenzo has almost reached that place. And Mike, he is now also heading to that destination with his Cadillac, being accompanied by Douglas.[Mike, try to not kill anyone as best as possible. Restrain Vincenzo from doing anything stupid. I don’t want you guys to attract more problem to us]“Yes, Sir!”Mike ends that call by shaking his head with a kind of disbelieving expression on his face.“What was that?” asks Douglas.“It’s Charles. I can’t believe he would be the one who is going to tell me to not kill anyone. Whether he has gone soft, or perhaps, the situation is that complicated for him at the moment,” explains Mike, as he waits for Vincenzo to answer his call.His face looks a bit

“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

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,
