A few hours after that, Marcel came back to his father-in-law's core house. Predictably, Herman was furious with the decision Marcel had made.

"You intend to destroy our agreement, huh?" Herman asked angrily.

"Our agreement is already broken, that's why I can no longer bear to stay with Shirley." Marcel commented calmly.

"So why did you leave this house, why?" Herman asked.

"Shirley is cheating on me," Marcel replied briefly.

Herman frowned in disbelief.

"Come back now, this agreement can still be fixed." He said firmly. "Don't complicate your life anymore."

"I'm just here to tell you that I'm going to find the funds to pay the debt," Marcel said simply. "So you don't have to force me and Shirley's marriage anymore."

Herman exhaled loudly.

"You think it's that easy?" he snapped. "Never mind, you'd better go to Shirley and apologize now."

Marcel shook his head firmly.

"I'll prove it to Dad," he said flatly, after which he excused himself to leave Herman's core house.

    Ronnie's face turned bright red when Marcel reminded him of the challenge."You doubt this company's ability?" asked Ciko angrily. "Who do you think you are!"As he said that, Ciko observed Marcel and realized that his brother-in-law's appearance had changed considerably.Marcel, who used to wear a collared shirt typical of the uniform of the shop where he worked, was now wearing a formal suit like himself, with a silver watch around his wrist.Ciko, who likes to collect watches, clearly knew that the watch Marcel was wearing wasn't cheap."You've been promoted," Ciko commented sarcastically. "Director of the shop?"Ronnie snorted with suppressed laughter."I see," Marcel said calmly. "So what do you say, are you brave enough?""I'm not willing to bow down at your feet, unclean." Ciko scoffed, and Ronnie was astonished that Marcel could still take the insult in stride."Well, you have a fear of your parents' company failing, don't you?" Marcel said flatly, but it struck a chord with C

    "You have to hide!" Venya exclaimed under her breath as she stood up."Why would I hide?" asked Marcel in surprise. "The door is locked by the system."Venya didn't answer immediately, but her eyes were alert and worried."What's wrong, Venya?" asked Marcel curiously."I can't explain right now, Marcel ..." Venya replied apologetically. "Just hide first ...."Marcel was silent and no longer pressed Venya, despite wanting to know what was going on.The focus of the two of them was now completely distracted by the conversation heard outside."Open the door!""Call Marcel!""Why, we should have the right to enter here!""Whoever opens the door!"Marcel and Venya looked at each other."How about this?""Don't open the door.""Then what are you going to do?""I don't know, they won't back down." Venya tried to calm down. "Or I should meet them ....""What for?"A moment later, Marcel heard the sound of a hard object being slammed."Do we need to get out now?" whispered Marcel, the lab abou

    Upon arriving at the lab, Venya successfully piqued Marcel's curiosity by looking at Venya's muddy face."What's wrong, Venya?"Venya immediately explained the chronology of events that she had experienced when facing Delvino's family, who insisted on entering the lab. Marcel shook his head in response to the behavior of his wife's family."How arrogant of them," Marcel commented."I'm fine ..." Venya said quietly."If you get verbally or physically abused, tell me." Marcel gave Venya a stern look. "That's you looking shocked, do we need to teach them a lesson?"Venya didn't answer immediately. She suddenly felt her head dizzy and her body weak, so she just obeyed when Marcel asked her to lie down on the bed, while Meru sat pensively as usual."You must be exhausted, you also regularly consume the formula you made yourself, right?" asked Marcel."No, I don't have time ....""... at least take the time to keep yourself fit, I know you're tired of working all this time, Venya."Venya cl

    "I can't promise, sorry."Marcel cut off their conversation without giving Shirley a chance to speak further."Argh!"At her place on holiday with friends, Shirley threw her mobile phone onto the bed in annoyance. She let out a long sigh, then called her mum instead."Mum, I don't want to go through with this marriage!" Shirley sat on one of the chairs with a frown on her face. "I'm not in love with Marcel at all!"Reina sighed and replied."We'll lose a lot if we let Marcel go," Reina said logically. "We won't be able to squeeze his energy anymore, and we'll have less income. Think about it, darling."Shirley didn't answer immediately, as she poured some tea into her own cup and continued."I'm not sure if Marcel got the money for free," Shirley said knowingly. "He could have borrowed it from a friend or even a loan shark ....""Don't be silly," Reina scolded fiercely. "How can a loan shark lend a hundred million using a check?"Shirley shrugged indifferently, she wouldn't just belie

    Marcel was then asked to show his identity card by several people."Marcelino? Are you from here?""I am," Marcel nodded."Come with us now," said one of the men who had thrown Marcel into the room.Marcel calmly let himself be led to a two-story house not too far from the office.Aldi was already there waiting for him with a happy look on his face. Without much preamble, one of them immediately engaged Marcel in conversation."Can I help you, Mr Marcelino? Just say the word."Marcel looked up from his seated position, flanked by two of Aldi's burly security guards."I think I'd like to move the lab in stages," Marcel said flatly, his eyes looking straight at the mature man in the vest who sat facing him with an air of charisma. "I don't think the Delvino family home is safe anymore."The tall man with wise eyes looked at Marcel with narrowed eyes until they were just a line."I understand how you feel," Aldi said calmly as he stood up and faced straight at Marcel, who was still sitti

    As dinner progressed, Herman occasionally asked Marcel questions."Where do you work now, Marcel?""Still at the small shop, Dad." Marcel replied simply. "If it's just this house, I won't make any money."Across the table, Ronnie shared a look with Shirley. It was the first time Marcel had been allowed to eat at the same table with their family."Oh yeah?" responded Herman incredulously. "Didn't you decide to resume the lab? I thought you were busy there, but maybe you forgot your obligation to help with the housekeeping work here ...."Herman stopped his speech when Shirley looked at him with a sulking gaze."Marcel still wants a divorce." Shirley told him.Marcel only smiled briefly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw how Shirley sneered at her own plate.That night, as usual, Marcel took his pillow and blanket as he intended to sleep in the maid's room."Just sleep in my room," Shirley invited Marcel hesitantly and reluctantly together.Marcel was initially unsure if Shirley mean

    Upon arrival at the in-laws' office, Marcel went downstairs with Aldi to meet Herman together.Marcel, who was wearing a plain blue shirt and slick black trousers, walked beside Aldi, who told him to act like a conglomerate businessman.Marcel, who didn't know anything, just complied with what Aldi suggested to him."I'd like to see Mr Delvino," Marcel said to the clerk at the desk. "I'm his son-in-law, soon to be ex."The female employee reacted with difficulty as she tried to digest Marcel's words, but she went inside Herman's room to inform him of her son-in-law's arrival."How could he not know that you're the son-in-law of his boss?" Aldi whispered in surprise."You shouldn't be surprised," Marcel said in a low whisper. "My parents were hoping I would get a good career path."Aldi glanced around."It doesn't matter if it's a small company, you have dozens of companies ....""We're not talking about that here." Marcel warned. "I'm your employee, right?""Fine!" Aldi cleared his th

    Since Marcel only gives her three million in monthly allowance, Shirley has returned to her arrogant attitude.Especially after Ronnie told her that Marcel was just hitching a ride with his friend who owned a luxury car."Seriously, so all this time ...?" Shirley widened her eyes after learning that fact.Ronnie nodded."But let's face it, at least we can still utilize your in-laws' debt to make some money." He looked at Shirley. "You don't need a divorce, you don't have to have sex with Marcel if you don't want to.""What the hell, Bro, it's unclean, you know!" snapped Shirley with a look of disgust.Even though in her heart, she was saying the opposite.At one time or another, Shirley accidentally saw Marcel, who had just come out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist downwards.It was then that Shirley noticed a physical change in Marcel's two arms that looked toned and full, as well as his broad chest to his boxy stomach."Maybe ... he has a gigolo job?" chirp

    Since leaving the shop and deciding to join Aldi, Marcel rarely showed his face in front of the Delvino family.Marcel's old cellphone was also always ringing, but he never bothered because the ones who contacted him were always Shirley or his mother-in-law who demanded that he return as soon as possible."I've finished the experiment with Venya and the team, can I go out for a while?" Marcel asked asking permission from Aldi. "I'm bored if I keep being locked up here without a job."Aldi thought for a moment. Marcel thought that he would never be given permission, but it turned out he was wrong!"You can go anywhere you want," said Aldi who at that time was busy with the layout of the Delvino family's very large residence."Are you serious, sir?" asked Marcel, very suspicious when Aldi easily gave him permission."As long as you continue to act carefully," replied Aldi with a serious face. "With us having started to gradually take over the medical market, I'm sure the Delvino family

    “Let’s do it,” Marcel said, looking straight at Ronnie.“What the heck, Cel? Don’t be rude to my brother!” Shirley snapped in disapproval.Marcel didn’t respond, while Ronnie was busy arguing with herself.“Well, if you intend to break your promise,” Marcel said calmly. “People who break their oaths usually get unlucky for life.”After saying his final sentence, Marcel turned and walked away, leaving his wife and brother-in-law behind.“Brother, why did you make a challenge?” Shirley commented fiercely. “Now what if our family gets unlucky in life?”Ronnie clenched his fists, a fierce battle still going on in his mind. His pride would certainly be at stake if he wiped Marcel’s shoes.“What do you think, Brother?” Shirley urged in annoyance.“Just keep quiet if you can’t give me a solution!” Ronnie blurted out emotionally, his shoulders heaving and his hands clenching. “Cel, wait!”Marcel stopped walking before he had gone too far, then turned around. Ronnie felt she had no other choic

    “Venya, what are you doing?” Marcel frowned when he got into the car, and it turned out that Venya was driving. “Where did the driver go yesterday?”Venya smiled broadly before answering, “Today, Mr. Diko just finished teaching me how to drive a car.”Marcel nodded briefly and told Diko to take him to the Aldi branch office building, one of the companies under the Aldians Group.That was where the leader would announce which companies were eligible to participate in the tender.“Mr. Aldi said that you are not allowed to reveal the cooperation project to anyone you meet,” Diko reminded her when they were only a few meters away from the destination office.“Of course I will keep my mouth shut, so there is no need to worry about anyone finding out.” Marcel emphasized.“But…” Diko still seemed hesitant.“No one will recognize me except Delvino’s family members,” Marcel interrupted as he got out of the car. “And they also don’t know exactly what my cooperation project with Mr. Aldi is.”Di

    Then suddenly dozens to tens of people in black uniforms appeared gradually but quickly surrounding Marcel’s movement who was on top.“Trash,” Marcel muttered while raising his face arrogantly. “Move forward, all of you!”Almost all of Dirlan’s men shot forward, and Marcel moved one leg to throw a rifle up, then grabbed it with both hands.He immediately aimed at the floor, the whirring bullets smoothly shot at the legs of Dirlan’s men who immediately collapsed and made the people behind him slip while some were trampled by their own friends.“Move forward, all of you!” Marcel challenged in a loud voice while turning around and jumping from the glass window that shattered into pieces when it hit his body quickly.Marcel’s body fell freely down towards Dirlan’s swimming pool before anyone could catch him.He felt incredibly fresh when his face hit the pool water, he immediately straightened himself up with water dripping from his hair.Dirlan grinned widely at his men.“The game isn’t

    Marcel caught Dirlan red-handed when he followed the man to a building that was quite hidden.“So it turns out you’re not my father, right?”“That’s it,” Dirlan nodded.“Come with us now,” said one of them, who immediately threw Marcel into a room.Marcel calmly let himself be led to a two-story house that was not too far from the office.There were already several men waiting for him with wary looks. Without much ado, introducing themselves, one of them immediately invited Marcel to talk.“Become a medical expert in my company, then you will get back the wealth and women as you wish.”Marcel looked up from his position sitting flanked by two armed and muscular gangsters.“You’ve got the wrong person,” Marcel replied flatly, with both words staring straight at the young man in a vest who was sitting facing him with a gripping aura. “I’m not the person you’re looking for.”The tall man with gray irises stared at Marcel with eyes narrowed to a line. He was Dirlan, the man who claimed to

    “What’s the use of a room like this?”Meanwhile, the people Nita had placed in a separate room were now protesting.“It’s not even suitable for sleeping!”“This is the only place we can provide,” Nita said, trying to be friendly. “At least it’s a form of our responsibility as Mr. Marcelino’s co-workers.”“Oh, we’re Marcel’s parents!” the woman rebuked with a raised eyebrow. “To show your responsibility, give us at least three rooms as comfortable as a five-star hotel! Not one like this? That’s terrible!”Nita was furious, she really wanted to complain about their behavior to Marcel.However, she tried to act professionally.“I’ve tried to give my best, but you can still say that we’re not responsible?” Nita said softly.“Hey, you, that’s why you think!” snapped the woman arbitrarily. “You’re Marcel’s employee, my son! Obviously our classes are different, your subordinates don’t understand that I need more facilities than what you’ve given me now!”Nita did not answer, her gaze blankly

    Marcel used a car that he rented using his cellphone application.“Where are you going, Sir?” asked the driver when Marcel and the others had entered the car.“Mr. Aldi’s office,” answered Marcel. “This is the address ....”Marcel’s parents and the scientist sat side by side as the car drove.Not long after, the car shook followed by the deafening screech of brakes.“Sorry!”“What happened?”The woman standing near Marcel’s rental car looked desperate when Marcel got out to check“Your actions are very dangerous for others, including yourself.” Marcel reprimanded. How could it not be, several people who happened to be sitting around waiting for public transportation were now starting to pay attention to them.“I just want my suffering to end soon,” said the woman holding back tears. “No one will lose me ... not even my own husband ....”Marcel was stunned. Worried that people would misunderstand this incident, he immediately offered a ride to the unknown woman.“You’re not hurt at all

    Aldi gathered most of the headquarters members after breakfast.“We have spent several months building an improved lab,” said Aldi opening his speech. “For that, we must use this lab for the benefit of humanity, in order to improve the quality of human resources for this world.”Diko, who was sitting next to Ivan, listened attentively.“The construction of facilities and training for people who want to join us will continue, because it is time for us to start showing our existence.” Aldi continued. “Competition with the Delvino family will definitely exist, because our goal is to change lives and destroy the power of the Delvino family, who monopolizes every aspect of the territory that is subject to them.”Aldi raised his fist above his head.“Are you ready?” He asked loudly.“Ready!” The entire room responded with an equally loud voice.“Is there anything you want to ask?” Aldi looked around the room.It was quiet for a moment, some even glanced at each other as if asking their coll

    Marcel stayed awake most of the night, he still didn’t understand why Lista and Stefi insisted on forcing him to stay in this house while Ronnie clearly didn’t like it.Marcel’s gaze combed around the room to look for the presence of surveillance cameras. After making sure that the room was safe, he took the old cellphone that Ivan had hacked some time ago.Why was there no sign of Mr. Aldi or Ivan, Marcel thought to himself. He didn’t want to be trapped any longer in the Delvino family’s residence, even though there was a big secret that he didn’t know.“Bring me to my parents,” Marcel said when he met Lista the next day.“What made you suddenly want to meet your parents?” Lista asked back.“Isn’t it normal?” Marcel replied curiously. “A child who wants to meet his biological parents again, is it wrong?”Lista smiled faintly.“That means you admit that you are Marcelino, the descendant of a pharmacist?” she guessed curiously.Marcel sighed.“What are you doing, didn’t you conclude fr
