The Heir of the Family 311 - Just End It!
That old man keeps mumbling with shaking lips, as he keeps trying to call his beloved adopted son. Dorothy also finds it hard to go to sleep when her son is not at home. “How is it?” she asks. “He isn’t picking up the phone,” replies Atkinson. At the moment, Lucas himself has reached Indianapolis and is heading back home now. For some reason, he looks so reluctant to pick up the phone call from Atkinson. It’s like he already knows what kind of sermons he is going to get from that old man. However, when Carter Phillips calls him, only then is he willing to pick up the phone. But Carter Phillips doesn’t call him for something good. [We have an issue here] “What happened?” [Another man down! It’s Cayson] “Is he dead? [Not yet. But we can’t let him stay here for too long] “Shiiit!” He turns around, and cancels his intention to go back home. He has no other choice but to visit his pharmacy factory. He makes another call, asking the transporters back to work to dispose of that de
The Heir of the Family 312 - Just An Old Man With A Heart
That’s when Lucas begins to think about that worst scenario. He starts to see the possibilities that he might have been conned this whole time. Several people have died so far. What if the issue about the incoming pandemic was just a lie, and he had only been scammed to buy that virus specimen from those two Asian guys. His face looks so pale to think about how fuck up his situation would be if what Mr. Carter said was right. And that sudden change of his facial expression only makes Carter realize that Lucas might have never given any thought about that possibility this far. “Our society has adapted quite well from our past experience with Covid-19. Doing the same thing to force people to buy vaccines is a risky game for them. Have you given any thought about that?” Mr. Carter emphasizes with his low and deep hoarse voice. “But the possibility is still there,” Lucas argues. “What if they leak the virus and start the pandemic?” “There could never be another pandemic! They’ve schem
The Heir of the Family 313 - I'm Sorry!
Two men inside the monitoring room are a bit shocked because of Atkinson’s arrival. They missed it, since they have been too occupied with the situation inside that particular lab. Mr. Carter can only hold his head with a wrinkled face. The more with Lucas who never expected that his dad would appear right in the worst situation. Now, there’s nothing he can do when Atkinson already witnessed everything. Atkinson approaches the glass door of the lab without any safety. It just so happens that Mr. Carter appears and then rushes to prevent him from entering that lab. “No, Atkinson! You can’t enter that lab?” “Mr. Carter? You? What are you doing here with my son?” asks Atkinson, still with his pale face. Carter tries to explain it to him. Even thought Atkinson is looking like he is following Mr. Carter’s explanation, none of those words come to his head. Atkinson is so blank. He feels like his entire realm has deteriorated. When he turns his face away, he finds Lucas already out of t

But then, something sinister suddenly crosses his mind. He immediately heads to his room on the second floor, and leaves his mom with her confusion.He makes a call to Elijah Miller. It just so happens that Elijah is still awake at the moment, and he doesn’t need to wait for too long.“About the plan you were talking about before, can you still use it?”[Is it that man again?]“Yes. I want him to disappear. I don’t care if you have to kill the two of them. Just make that man leave Indiana as soon as possible.”[Did something happen?]“I just killed my dad. He had seen me right when I killed a man who had been infected by the virus. I had no choice.”[Wooo, hey, hey! Hold on. Slow it down! Seriously? You killed your dad?]“Hey, listen! It just so happened that my dad left the house right after he got a strange call from Victor William. I want you to make him disappear. You get me?”[I get it. I understand what you are trying to do. I’ll call them immediately. I believe they are still i
The Heir of the Family 315 - A Message From Canada
Elsewhere in Canada, some strangers are lurking in the woods approaching Emma’s house. Two of them are actually the two men that Emma met in the airport right after she left Indiana.It’s not clear what these people’s intentions are. But it seems like the house is completely empty at the moment. Soon after making sure about the condition of that house, one of them makes a phone call.“Too bad! There’s no one in the house!”[Are you sure it’s her house?]“Of course. We know who her dad is. Her dad is the Mayor here. It’s just that the house is empty. They could just leave on a vacation. What now? We can just come back here later.”[No, forget about it! There’s no point if you do it later. Just abandon the mission]“But, man! You still have to pay me. I can’t just tell my men back home empty-handed.”[Just wait for my call. Your job is not entirely canceled yet. There are still you and your men need to do]Meanwhile, the transporters who take Cayson and Atkinson’s dead bodies have just
The Heir of the Family 316 - He Still Loves Her
He glances a bit at Judy who is still so engrossed with her phone. He feels like there’s no way he can tell her about that sad news at the moment.He knows that Judy has moved on from her sadness for losing Emma. He thinks that she doesn’t need to learn that news if it is only to break her heart.A moment later, another notification tone occurs in his mobile phone. It is the message consisting of the joke that Judy has just created.It’s a funny one. But it’s not enough to force him to laugh. But then, he turns his face to Judy, and shows her a fake silly smile.“Should I show it to Mr. Gambino?” he asks with a childish manner.“N, no! Don’t!”But Victor just leaves the office to hide his sorrow from Judy. “Please stay here! I’m going to leave for a while!”In the end, he calls Chappy, telling him to prepare the car to leave the office. Without giving any serious thought about the validity of that message, he immediately looks for a flight ticket to Canada.On the other hand, Lucas is
The Heir of the Family 317 - The Suspicious Cab Driver

She has already lost consciousness since the police said about the death of her husband.She is now swaying as she begins to fall. But luckily, the other police officer, a female, manages to hold Dorothy before she falls. She then turns her face to her partner by showing an uninspired face.“What?” he asks.“How could you just spew everything like you are talking to a bot? Think about her feelings, damn it!”Later, when Dorothy regains her consciousness, she finds Lucas already there serving those two officers with a serious conversation. And smoothly, Lucas averts the police’s attention to Victor, by bringing up the story about the weird phone call Atkinson received last night.“I’ve already filed a report for the disappearance of my dad. But the police said that I have to wait for 2 days before filing a report for a missing person. Now look at what had happened to my da

And Vincenzo only keeps observing that cab driver with his cold face.That cab driver is looking a bit awry now, thinking that he is not going to be able to pull out his mission. Until at some point, he just drives out of the main road which leads to a quiet hilly area.Vincenzo doesn’t know that much about this area. And he doesn’t realize that they are no longer heading to their initial destination.

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

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

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,
