The Heir of the Family 291 - Dominic's Greatest Pleasure
When Chappy sees Victor’s right fist has been soaked by the blood, he immediately takes his face away and leaves that place.“Just saying! Your dad warned me to not kill anyone,” says Vincenzo.Those words are effective in stopping Victor from his madness. After all, that man Dominic hasn’t shown any retaliation for a while, not even giving any response to Victor’s punishment.Without saying anything, Victor takes his leave. Vincenzo just shakes his head and follows him.But then, when he just reaches the stairs, he finds Victor is not heading to the front door, but to the kitchen instead. It makes Vincenzo a bit curious.“Chappy, come here!” Victor issues.A few moments later, Victor and Chappy are back by bringing so many bottles of liquor.“What are you going to do with that?” asks Vincenzo.“I’m going to send that freak to hell,” replies Victor with a numb face, as he keeps walking toward Dominic's studio.Meanwhile, Mike is still on the way to that place. But as he gets closer to
The Heir of the Family 292 - The Beginning of PDS Platform
Dominic is just letting his body float on the pool, face up looking at the clear sky. He feels the pain from the burned skin that is now touched by the cold water.But he has reached his climax before. His hypothalamus and pituitary gland no longer produce as much endorphins as before he ejaculated.He doesn’t feel any sensation of joy from that small pain anymore, since there’s not enough struggle to endure for him to ignite the reward system in his brain to produce any dopamine. He feels calm and empty, the first time for him after so many years. He couldn't remember the last time he had this calmness.One of his men appears on the balcony after all the fire has been extinguished. “Hey, Dominic! Are you okay there?”It shakes Dominic’s calmness. That’s when his face starts showing some kind of emotion again. And he starts laughing.“Yeah! I never felt better,” he mumbles with a mad grinning.This is the first time he learns how pleasure it is to get burnt by the fire. It’s like a re
The Heir of the Family 293 - Impossible Numbers
From all the 74 vendors that have joined that PDS program, 33 of them are actually small vendors controlled by La Marca, just like Uncle Minh and his restaurants, and other small food vendors on streets. There are jewelries, boutiques, vendors who sell cosmetic products, American Football and Basketball dedicated merchandise, and many more. All these vendors and marketplaces have existed even before Dennis joined Counterbrand. They are not entirely owned by La Marca, but most of the shareholders are owned by two persons under the name Eusebio and Willie. All these merchants and businessmen act like they create mutual relationships with La Marca, and use La Marca’s service and influence for security and source of loan. And now, La Marca is using them for their money laundering scheme. Willie and his men have also created more than 50 fake membership accounts as customers on Counterbrand’s PDS platform. Meanwhile, 13 of the 30 couriers, as well as 4 of the 7 operators and CS, are also
The Heir of the Family 294 - We Still Want to be Good People
Victor explains everything, all his suspicions, with so much confidence and in a cold manner. He doesn’t yell at all, and he doesn’t even show any emotion. He stays composed and calculated, keeps looking at Dennis with so much intent.“What is this? Money laundering? Didn’t I tell you to not use my office as your headquarters,” he continues.“You did say that. And we never use this building as our headquarters,” says Dennis.“Bullshit!” replies Victor.“Yes, we do money laundering,” Gambino interrupts. “But everything happened out there, not here. As long as we don’t tell you, you can assume that you and Counterbrand were never involved in this scheme.”“You used my company. How can you say you didn’t involve Counterbrand in your garbage business?” asks Victor by holding his anger with so much disappointment.“Look, from the very first time, you already know we are gangsters. I took it as you don’t mind we continue doing our business while we are working here,” says Dennis.“Yes, but
The Heir of the Family 295 - The Envy Wilson
No matter what people say, money really has the ability to change someone. It can corrupt the purest heart out of the greedy, turning a friend into an enemy, or changing an enemy into a family. Victor’s mind is also changing, as he learns how La Marca’s money laundering is affecting his business. He doesn’t make any deal with them for that scheme. But as long as those people make their orders, his PDS platform keeps getting income by the service fee. It might not be that much, but it helps to create stability. Because there will always be more than 50 customers making more than two orders each day, making his PDS service stay busy. “Sir, we lack couriers in the west sector,” says one of the operators. “The workload in the Eastside is a bit low. We could just tell one or two couriers to move,” suggest the other operator. Victor just stands silent in observing the hectic schedule in PDS headquarter on that 21st floor. He just glances at Dennis, waiting for him to make a decision. D
The Heir of the Family 296 - Name Your Price!
Albert is showing his confused face, not understanding what part of his idea to be seen as a joke and funny enough to mock.“What?” he asks.“I don’t mind scheming something to blackmail him,” replies Schneider nonchalantly. “But you need to reconsider, if that Gambino is caught, he will chirp in the court and will drag you down with him.”Albert can’t say a word after that. That fat cop just says the same thing that Gambino had warned him before. “Isn’t there any chance I can get away from him?” he asks.“Listen! You are lucky he hasn’t revealed anything about the dirty money your son received so far,” says Schneider as he gets up as if intending to take his leave.Schneider walks out with a disappointed face. “We haven’t learned anything about who is behind those gangsters. If you end up in jail, then my career will also end with you.”“I’ve told you! That guy is the real leader,” Albert emphasizes.But that fat cop just shakes his head with an uninterested face and leaves that plac
The Heir of the Family 297 - The Bitter Pills
Victor confidently puts his hands in his trouser pocket. He explains in detail about his evaluation to that one boutique.“I value this one for $135.000. Considering your previous offer, I take that the other six boutiques have the same value as this one. For seven boutiques, it will be $945.000. I’ll give you a bonus, and buy them for 1 Million,”“Bullshit!” Andrew vents out his objection. “This business chain has a gross revenue of more than 7 Million a year. And you are telling me to sell it for 1 Million dollars? Are you out of your mind? If you don’t have the money, stop acting arrogant in front of me.”“The question is, why would you sell this business if it’s really that profitable?” Victor raises one of his eyebrows with so much confidence. “I know you could collect 7 Million revenue a year. But not after your dad stops moving his dirty money from his money laundering to your boutiques cash flow.”Andrew is startled to hear Victor talking about his dad’s money laundering. He h
The Heir of the Family 298 - I Need Your Service
Just like before, Victor spends most of his time with Judy and Chappy at Benigno’s place. He will stay here for long, at least until the dark comes. And just like usual, he keeps inviting Benigno to join his PDS platform. And of course, Benigno insists on denying him. It has become a new trend in this pizza shop every time Victor visits this place. “Just give up already, Victor!” says Ivy. “You’ve been with us for so long. You should have already known better than us that he has a head as hard as diamond.” “What was that?” Benigno gushes. “Uw! Look, it sparkles,” Ivy keeps teasing him, closing her eyes as if she is blinded by Benigno’s sparkling barren head. It sparks some laughter from everyone else. Benigno distances himself and heads back to his office while grumbling with some annoyance. When he enters the office, he shakes his head with some peaceful smile. He is actually enjoying it, that his shop is back as merry as the old time before he had an issue with Victor. Not lon

“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,
