That morning, Julius called Jeff in to see him. The man, who had just finished breakfast, was sitting sipping tea while waiting for Jeff, his trusted servant.
Not long after, the man entered and bowed to salute and greet, "Good morning, Mr. Julius. Did you enjoy the breakfast menu?" Jeff asked. The man ensured that Julius was satisfied with his chosen menu.Julius straightened up, crossed his legs, and stared coldly at Jeff, who had not yet straightened up. He certainly knew the reason why the master was acting this way towards him. It must be because of the service error that happened yesterday morning."I apologize for Sam's slowness in serving you. Yesterday's incident must have bothered you a lot." Jeff hadn't finished speaking, and the man paused his sentence momentarily."He wasn't quick enough to deal with the problem, and deserves to be punished. Master-" Before Jeff could finish, Julius cut him off."That's not necessary, Jeff." Julius spoke firmly, his eyes looking disinterested.Jeff also said that he had given Sam a fair punishment for his negligence yesterday, "But Sam must be taught a lesson, Master. I will make sure he is deterred and will not make the same mistake in the future." No one was allowed to misbehave for Jeff, and Julius had to get the best service possible!Julius waved a hand, and the man grunted, "Stop it all Jeff. Stop talking about unnecessary things. I warned you," Julius scolded with a bored face. Seemingly uninterested in the topic Jeff had brought up this morning.Jeff immediately complied, and Julius moved his palm several times, signaling Jeff to stop slouching and straighten up. Julius seemed to be thinking about something while holding his chin.Julius lowered the legs that he had been crossing. He said to Jeff with an expressionless face, "I'm going somewhere.""Where are you going? I can take you." Jeff spoke without waiting for Julius to ask. He was ready to take Julius anywhere he wanted to go without prompting. Julius' safety and comfort were his priority.As for Julius, the man waved his hand in disagreement with Jeff's suggestion, he had other plans. "I want to meet someone, and I'm going alone. So, just prepare a vehicle for me," ordered Julius, who was now leaning back casually on the dining chair."It will be safer if I drive you, Mr. Julius. Everything will be under control and you won't have to worry about anything bad happening," offered Jeff, who seemed unwilling to let Julius go alone."I'll make sure it's safe, I won't let you down with my performance." Jeff meant what he said, he really didn't want Julius to feel like he was useless.Julius shook his head, "I told you, I want to go alone, Jeff. Don't underestimate me," he scolded in a distracted tone. Julius's eyes seemed to glint when he was irritated and agitated. His self-esteem was a little disturbed because Jeff seemed to underestimate him. Julius was fed up with being told he couldn't do anything.Jeff just opened his mouth, about to make an argument. But he didn't and immediately closed his mouth when his master looked at him sharply. Realizing that Julius might be offended, the man finally agreed with Julius's order, "Alright sir, give me time to take care of it."Julius nodded, let Jeff out of his room and closed the door with his cell phone to his ear as he left. Jeff immediately took care of the needs Julius had requested. And sure enough, in just ten minutes, Jeff was back and bowing to him."Mr. Julius, the vehicle for you is ready. Would you like to check it out now?" asked Jeff politely.Julius nodded, "Of course, take me there right now!" he ordered and Jeff nodded. Jeff invited Julius to follow him to inspect the vehicle the man had requested. The two exited Julius' penthouse and headed to the elevator together.They entered an elevator, and Jeff took him to the VVIP basement. Julius thought he would be taken to the basement to pick up a vehicle he could use later. But he wasn't!When the elevator stopped and they got out of the elevator, Julius immediately stopped his steps. For a moment, Julius was stunned by what he now saw. This vast place before him had so many luxury cars that he had never seen!before! All of them looked shiny, with a look that was so amazing."This is a special VVIP basement for Mr. Julius. You can choose whichever car you want, because it all belongs to Mr. Julius," Jeff explained, explaining Julius's confusion when he got there.Julius didn't expect it and couldn't believe what Jeff had just said. But, considering who the Luckystone family was, this was all just normal for all of them.Julius walked first, and the man approached a silver car with a sporty look. Julius hadn't even said anything when Jeff explained, "This is the latest Porsche, Mr. Julius. It's straightforward to drive and loved by many because it's so comfortable and luxurious simultaneously."Julius touched the outer layer of the car, and walked around. Then, his gaze shifted to a black car parked not far from the first car. Jeff explains about this car, which turns out to be a Lexus LM 4 seater version with a glass divider between the cabin and the seats.Julius shook his head and began to hear other types of cars mentioned by Jeff at his side. There were too many brands for Julius to get his head around.The one that Jeff recommended to him was, "This is Pagani, from Italy, Mr. Julius. The performance is excellent, you can safely use this supercar on the highway legally."Julius shook his head, holding his forehead. "No! I won't speed on the highway," Julius refused with a sigh.Jeff mentions about five other car brands. Bugatti, Rolls Royce, Genesis, Aston Martin, and even Lamborghini. Which Julius had only ever heard of without ever trying to use them.To Julius, all the cars here are extraordinary. Fantastic prices that Julius had never imagined before. In fact, he had never even imagined owning one."That's enough Jeff, stop your babbling! You're giving me a headache!" scolded Julius, whose head was getting too much information about cars quickly. Jeff complied, and waited for his master to choose.Julius' eyes went back to looking around and pointed to a shiny black car with a classic style in the middle of a large basement area.Jeff smiled, "You picked the right car, sir! You're very good at choosing," Jeff said next to Julius.Julius nodded, and followed Jeff to the car. Jeff was obviously pleased with his master's choice. Julius' choice was perfect, his taste was high. It was the most expensive classic car in the world. Namely, a 1963 Ferrari GTO from Germany, which, if put on the market, could reach 70 dollars.Armed with the luxury car he had chosen from the VVIP basement, Julius drove out of his luxurious penthouse. The car sped through the crowded streets on a busy morning. It seemed to shine among the other vehicles that filled the streets.It didn't take long before Julius arrived at his destination. A simple eatery is on the side of the road with some small trees. And Julius immediately parked his car quite far away. The man entered and looked around. His eyes found a man sitting at the end, who stood up and waved."Uncle Thony?" greeted Julius kindly. The man sat down in front of the older man he called Thony. They exchanged high-fives, and Uncle Thony immediately offered Julius a drink. The man looked so happy because he had not seen the son of his best friend for so long."Oh my, Julius! How long has it been since we've seen each other?" The slightly chubby man smiled again, revealing the wrinkles on his cheekbones. Some of his hair was already graying, with a thin beard and dull ey
Julius ran over and caught Thony's body on the sidewalk. Concerned, Julius asked, "Is Uncle okay?" Especially when he saw the bruise on Thony's hand, caused by rubbing against the rough surface of the sidewalk.Thony, of course, didn't answer, he just stayed silent with a pale face and a cold body. He didn't even seem to hear what Julius was asking him. The man looked dazed, even his shoulders shook unconsciously."Uncle?"Julius waved a hand before Thony, and shook his shoulders for a while. Thony blinked, and was surprised by Julius' presence. The man even backed away while dragging himself away. His face looked panicked and even paler.Thony's eyes widened, "Julius, why are you here? What are you doing? Go away!" Thony pleaded in a frightened tone. The man looked so worried that his eyebrows knitted together. His eyes glanced around, the panic on his face unconcealable.Thony didn't want Julius here, so he pushed Julius' chest aside, "Get out of here, Julius. You can't be here." Ye
Upon hearing Julius' statement, Thony immediately grabbed Julius and turned him around to face him. With a panicked look, Thony said, "Julius, don't act stupidly! Uncle knows how you live, don't be like this."It was still evident in Thony's mind how Julius endured the insults and abuse he didn't deserve. In fact, the Cellen family rationed his expenses, demonizing him in public. Julius never got justice, he was treated as he pleased.Julius frowned, "Uncle doesn't know how I live. And I don't need your money right now." Julius responded in a low voice, because he respected Uncle Thony.But Thony still refused Julius, even more loudly and firmly. His body was still weak, but he really didn't want Julius to get into trouble of his own making."Why are you so stubborn? Leave, because it's the best choice." But unfortunately, Thony's wish was opposed by Julius.Julius now chuckled, "I'm not leaving, Uncle. You're wrong if you think this is the best option. I'm not a loser who would run a
Julius quickly grabbed his cell phone and transferred an ounce of money to Ed. Thony, who saw it, immediately pulled Julius' hand away.Thony's eyes widened, incredulous, "Julius, where did you get all this money? One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount."Julius smiled a little, the man shook his head and removed Thony's hand from his. "My life has changed a lot, Uncle. It's no big deal."And now, the money had changed hands with Ed. The man immediately checked his bank account with a cheeky smile. He didn't care about Thony, who now looked worried for Julius."Julius, you know how you are. It's not company money, right?" Thony confirmed once again. He only knew that Julius was living with the Cullen family. He couldn't have that kind of money, even though Julius was clever and industrious.Julius shook his head again, "It's not company money. You don't need to be afraid." Julius calmed Thony, who was still looking at him worriedly."But the amount is huge. There's no way I
"It's mine, Uncle." Julius answered Thony's question briefly. He immediately started his car to leave the area where they had eaten earlier."No kidding. Where did you get all this from? You must be lying to uncle," Thony guessed while scratching his temple. The thing was, Thony even knew that Julius wasn't being paid by Noel. Let alone a salary, he wasn't even given enough time off.Julius chuckled, "No Uncle, I'm not joking at all. Why would I lie?"But apparently, Thony still didn't believe that. With a confused look, Thony asked again, "Is this not your wife's car? Are you married to Bella?" That was the only possibility. This was because Bella belonged to a prominent family after her company skyrocketed. Yes, even if it was done by using Julius.Julius shook his head in disbelief if his uncle still thought he was related to the Cullen family. "Of course not. This is totally mine." Julius even managed an amused smile. Thinking about how Thony had no idea what he had been up to lat
This morning, when Julius finished his breakfast agenda, Jeff came to hand over a report. Jeff's cell phone was handed to Julius, with a page featuring Noel's face and the name of his company as highlights.Julius laughed briefly as he looked at Jeff, who had just reported on the family of Bella, his ex-fiancée, who had dumped him. "So, they're broke?" he asked with a small smile.Jeff nodded, and the man confirmed his Master's words, "Yes, Master. Several companies canceled contracts due to the Noel scandal a while ago. Their image has deteriorated in the eyes of the public."Julius shook his head, didn't care about their situation, and returned the phone to Jeff. He thought it would be better if the Cellen family fell. They would feel the bitterness of being belittled by everyone. They couldn't have fun after dumping Julius in such a humiliating way. But then, a thought occurred to him. He remembered how the Bella family had treated him in the past, and he hadn't even returned the
"Damn it! What are you doing there?!" snapped Noel angrily. The man glared at Julius, sitting casually in the chair that should have been his.Julius chuckled, "Take it easy, honorable Mr. Noel. You don't want to ruin your image in front of the shareholders," Julius replied casually. The man even folded his legs without caring about Noel's anger.Hearing this, Noel became even more enraged, "You useless man! Stop your nonsense and get out of there! I don't want to see disgusting scum like you polluting my company!"Instantly, the room was filled with buzzing. Some people seemed to be whispering to each other. Of course, this got Julius's attention, who glanced at them with interest."Miss Bella, who is that man? Why does Mr. Noel seem so angry?" Someone wearing a black suit asked Bella, as he happened to be sitting closest to the girl.Bella naturally turned her head and said, "Of course my father is angry. The man sitting in that chair is a bum who wants to destroy my father's hard w
Noel was naturally shocked by what Julius said at this point. The man seemed to take a step back because he felt shaken. Especially Julius' arrogant face, which made him feel trampled on. In the past, Noell was in power and could make him a puppet.Seeing her father's pale face, Bella became furious. The girl barked at Julius, "You scum! You're the most shameless person in this world! You should have been dragged away and tortured for your shameless behavior!"Julius didn't answer, staring into Bella's eyes, staring at him with hatred. Humiliated, the girl who was once Julius' ward continued her diatribe, "I've handed you over to a loan shark to take responsibility for all your father's debts! You shouldn't be here, damn it!"Hearing the word loan shark, Noel instantly came to his senses. The man hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and pointed it at Julius, threatening him, "Yes, I'll call them all. And tell them that their prisoner escaped! You will die, Julius!"Julius, who was unfazed
As it turned out, Diego managed to injure Julius out by punching him right in the solar plexus. This caused Julisu to inadvertently loosen his grip on Diego's head, allowing the man to escape and return to his feet to attack Julius. Once again, the fight was on. The two men with great stamina threw punches and kicks at each other. Julius hit Diego so many times that several of his teeth were knocked out, and his mouth oozed fresh blood. At first glance, the older man looked like someone who had just been in a severe accident and was the victim of a hit-and-run.Diego spat on the floor and readied himself to attack Julius. The man moved forward and tried to punch Julius in the face with fast punches. But Julius dodged, and after a few times, Julius twisted his body and elbowed Diego in the back of the head before kicking him into the wall and smashing him with a spinning kick. Diego groaned loudly, and he slumped against the wall until the blood coming out of his nose formed a red lin
Diego threw his black mask to the floor with great emotion. He stared at Julius with a vengeful gaze, "Tonight will be the night of your burial," he hissed. Diego seemed eager to defeat Julius and crush him to his bones.Julius must have heard the man's words behind his servants, who covered his body from the enemy. Julius snorted, looking at Diego calmly, "Ah, I see you're wrong. Today is your last day on earth, for you will soon join your son in hell, not me." Julius turned Diego's words around and challenged him with open arms. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. The day when Diego would come and chase him like there was no tomorrow. This would be fun because Julius could see something that would make Diego even hotter in his circle.Diego glared at Julius' words, and the man ruffled his loins with an unaccepting look in his eyes, "Shut your fucking mouth! Or I'll rip you apart with my hands so you can't talk out of your ass anymore!" Diego shouted until his voice ech
Julius sharpened his vision and began to look around. Up ahead, the orchestra players were still playing various music in a way that was so mesmerising that it mesmerised them into focusing on one place. Amazingly, they were able to combine dance and music at the same time. This new concept had attracted so much attention that no one noticed the strangeness of what was happening.Julius shook his head slightly behind some of the guests, who were dancing to the beat. Julius noticed something suspicious. Something that seemed to glisten in the light and was hidden so neatly. But Julius knew that it was not the sparkle of the women's jewellery that had a flicker on every accessory they wore.Realising something was wrong, Julius immediately jumped to the side, avoiding a shot that came at him suddenly. The sound of the image was so loud it immediately made the guests startle and scream. They turned their heads towards Julius before running back and forth to save themselves. It didn't mat
For the next month, Julius did not find Diego anywhere. The man was like dust in the wind, flying away and nowhere to be found. Julius had mobilized many people to find Diego and bring him back alive. But until now, no one had given any news of his whereabouts. But even so, Julius didn't bother. His life was already very peaceful without any distractions. The little distractions that came his way were easily brushed aside.Enemies who moved slowly and without calculation, Julius had eliminated without getting his hands dirty. In short, Julius had no real problems after Diego left.Even so, he didn't let his guard down just yet. It wasn't impossible for Diego to suddenly show up and surprise him. He always double-checks anyone who tries to work with his family, tracing their background to their latest activities. Because, not everyone has one trait, they could be small actors who are being used to attack Julius like poison dripped in a drink. It would destroy him slowly, without anyone
Diego managed to escape and leave the city of Pharao. The man disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. Not a single person managed to find his whereabouts. He was hiding in several places and moving from one place to another over the next few days and months. The man was nowhere to be seen, and people began to lose track of him running away. Several flyers had been distributed, with the word 'fugitive' written all over the city, preventing the man from moving freely. Still, Diego persisted and disguised himself so that his true face was hard to recognise. Perhaps, if his business partners accidentally met him, they wouldn't be able to acknowledge Diego's current face, as it had changed too much.Like today, Diego came out of the small apartment he had rented for a small fee on the edge of town. The flat, built on three levels, with each unit only a quarter of the size of Diego's old living room, is painted a dull grey. Each team had a small balcony with a rusty old iron railing that
Diego ran down the stairs at high speed. He could hear the gunfire racing behind him. Although he didn't see it firsthand, Diego could tell by now that the pursuers had reached his private room. That's because he could hear footsteps pounding up there, right on the floor that separated the study from the shortcut to the back door. Diego looked up briefly, ensuring the men couldn't find him trying to escape. Diego had a door camouflaged as a wall, just in case something unpleasant happened, like this time. Even here, he could get a lightweight, easy-to-store handgun. And that's what the two bodyguards guarding Diego and helping him escape from his home were holding onto.Unfortunately, the people chasing Diego quickly realized where he was. Suddenly, the wooden door, which was the same colour as Diego's walls, was broken down by one of the men dressed in all black with a long-barreled gun in his hand, "Stop right there!" he shouted to Diego, who was still running down the circular sta
Everyone held their breath, eyes bulging in surprise. A photo was sent, clearly visible from head to toe. He was a man over fifty years old with a black suit and hair starting to grow grey. Many people know him because he is one of the public figures who often appears and donates to several parties. However, he has also been scandalized for his behaviour of dating women and walking away.The policeman who broke the news said, "He was the one who caused the terror and beating that happened yesterday in the city center. Precisely, when we were all celebrating our own city's birthday."The police chief's statement certainly raised questions for many people. A woman still wearing an apron on her body looked surprised, she looked at the TV screen and covered her mouth in disbelief, "Isn't that Mr. Diego?" she asked with a questioning face. Apparently, it was a portrait of Wood Diego, the father of the late Marco, who had been well-known to the public because of his wealth. The man owned se
Diego kicked the chair in front of him hard and shouted in a booming voice, "Damn it! Why did he survive again, huh?!" The man looked furious, his face bright red and his eyes bulging. He threw everything against the wall, including the wine glass and bottle he had just enjoyed a few minutes ago. They were shattered, and he didn't care about the price of the drink that was now gone without a sip of enjoyment.The man rubbed his face roughly, "They should have moved properly! Why is it so hard to kill that bastard? Are they so stupid that they can't even stab a man who isn't protected by anyone? Do I have to set an example with my own hands?" he raged, having again failed to take the life of the Julius he hated so much. His plan failed because of luck or because his people were stupid and couldn't take advantage of the situation. One thing was for sure, he hated failure in his life.In annoyance, the man punched the air, "You just need to stab him like this! Then he falls, and you can
It was chaos. Too many people had come to the event, which was difficult for the few police officers. Most of them were hysterical and crying, crouching down as if their legs could no longer move and running. The few who could still run screamed and cursed at their bad luck.Then, things got even more chaotic as armed troops appeared from all sides of the square. They carried firearms and sharp weapons, pointing at anyone who tried to flee the scene. A man in a blue jersey seemed unconcerned as he shoved one of the gun-toting besiegers, "Move aside! I'm not afraid of you! You're just-! And the sound of firearms going off was heard. The man fell to the ground with blood pouring out of his head, just lying there because he had lost his life.The people who witnessed the incident screamed in terror and scattered further away. Unfortunately, so many troops surrounded them that they were forced to crouch down and raise their hands to avoid being hurt.At that moment, the situation in the s
