A week passed, and Gabriel's death was still a trending topic in Birmingham, even in the surrounding cities. Hugo and Leah, Gabriel's parents, felt very sad and lost. They did not expect their only child to leave in such a terrible condition so soon.
As parents, let alone a wealthy conglomerate, Gabriel's death was certainly not allowed to pass without any clarity or investigation of what caused the end of his son and his four friends. Was it purely an accident, or were there other factors, such as murder, alcohol or drug use?
With all his efforts and utilising his influence, Hugo strongly requested that the case of his son's death be investigated properly and thoroughly. But whether requested or not, the authorities will continue to explore until evidence is found to support what caused their deaths.
For almost a week, Gabriel's deaths and his four friends have been investigated by various parties but have not yet found a bright spot. It is suspected that their
"I don't accept that Gabriel's death is over. However, I have to find the culprit!" Hugo said as he hit his desk hard, making a noise and scattering the items on the floor. After venting his frustration and anger, Hugo decided to walk out of his car showroom, intending to meet someone with whom he could confer to find the perpetrator of his son's murder. "You heard that; our boss is venting his anger on the items in his office," an employee gossiped. "Ever since his son was found dead in such a horrible way, our boss has been angry and sometimes uncontrollable," she continued in a slightly louder voice. "Lower the volume of your voice a little. If the boss hears it, you're finished!" the woman's friend reminded her. The employee who had been talking in a whisper, her nerves shrank. Suddenly she was silent for a thousand languages and pretended to occupy herself with things that were not there. Not long after, Hugo came out of his office with his hair messed up and his proper wris
Two hours after the villa owner returned, Miguel, who he had informed of Maribel's condition, and his intention to withdraw from Killian's life, kept the secret deep. The plan was to break the news to Killian after arriving in Birmingham and in a calm state.But before Mr Spencer could deliver the news, Denver and Elric came to see him and had the information, as previously told. After Denver and Elric left Miguel and Killian in the living room of his villa, he gave the big news to Killian. But instead of giving it directly, he asked for something else as a parable."How do you feel after parting with your ex-wife?" asked Mr Spencer, trying to guess the contents of his grandson's heart.Getting such an unexpected question, Killian deeply frowned because he did not understand the direction of his grandfather's conversation."I don't understand where you're going with this, grandpa," Killian replied."Wasn't my question clear enough? Is it still miss
The night had passed, and it was now morning. Killian and Miguel are seen taking a walk around the villa complex, escorted by the four prominent commanders, or in the army, they are called commanders. Alan, Peter and Dexon, meanwhile, followed them from behind. The rest of the elite bodyguards were nowhere to be seen, probably busy with their duties. Mr Spencer, or let's call him Miguel, walked side by side with Killian while occasionally laughing and joking; I don't know what they were talking about until his grandfather's laughter could escape so loudly. Since he lived in Daylight Town, his health has improved, and no more complaints have been heard from his mouth. Miguel preferred to live here rather than in London, which was already very crowded. Besides, he wants to be close to his grandchildren because he lives alone in London, accompanied only by his bodyguards. In Birmingham or Daylight Town, she could be accompanied by Killian, Irene, Maribel, and soon-to-be Elizabeth. Duri
Killian doesn't know why Irene became so nervous, even though the one who came was her future husband, but her attitude was slightly different this morning. Is it because of the surprise of being visited by Killian or because of Killian's unexpected arrival?Killian rarely came to the hotel where Irene was staying; it was mostly Irene who came to Killian himself because it was his job as a secretary or as Killian's assistant. In addition, Irene often changed hotels according to her wishes.Killian came to Irene specifically this morning, but only because of a very urgent need. Since his marriage with Julietta failed, Killian has become a cold man. Less romantic and tends to ignore the feelings of others.His mind is only full of determination for business expansion, revenge and controlling the world economy until he forgets some hearts are hurt, there are meaningless loves, and there are hopes that hang from his cold attitude.Like this morning, without f
"It's not that I don't want to, young master, but my mind is made up, and it's not negotiable. I will not marry you or anyone else," Maribel said firmly when Irene and Killian came to her in Ayrshire. Her demeanour has also changed. At first, she called Killian young master, then called him mate, and now she calls him young master again. We need to find out what Maribel was thinking. "But Maribel," Killian argued, trying to persuade her again. "Never mind, young master. I have given up on all of this; whatever people say and their opinions, I still stand by my stance that I would rather step down than get married, not to you or anyone else!" said Maribel once again, louder than the first time. Killian and Maribel couldn't do much; they just stayed silent. They had done various things to persuade Maribel not to withdraw from the arranged marriage. But her decision was unanimous; Maribel did not want to be married by Killian or anyone else because she did not want to trouble others o
"Why? Are you scared?" asked Hugo testingly."You're crazy! No fool would ever dig his hole," Oliver replied fearfully."But I want that Elric dead!" said Hugo, not wanting to know."You do it yourself if you can," challenged Oliver, firmly refusing the task."I'll pay you ten million for Elric's head," said Hugo, luring Oliver into doing the job again."Thirty million, I think that's a fair amount for this high-risk assignment," Oliver replied again, trying to negotiate."You're crazy. That's called extortion. How about fifteen million?" rejected Hugo irritably and offered half the price to do his friend's heavy duty."Hmmm? I'll think about it and see if there's a less risky way to take out your son's enemy," Oliver replied nonchalantly."I don't want to know how, just that the bastard is dead," Hugo said."But are you sure that your son's killer is Elric?" asked Oliver as if doubting Hugo's assumptions."
There was nothing Hugo could do, nor was his intention to take revenge for his son Gabriel's death because he had no money to pay anyone else. The choice to take revenge had yet to be fulfilled; instead, his business went bankrupt first and left nothing, including his pub business. His house was also confiscated. The items in it cannot be taken, including his two luxury cars. They were allowed to take some clothes, food, and drink that Hugo and his wife needed. The expensive watch he happened to be wearing, hidden under the sleeve of his long blazer, and the few bills in his wallet were not confiscated. However, all ATM and debit cards were blocked or could no longer be used because the bank had deliberately emptied their balances. Meanwhile, the day after the confiscation of his car showroom and mansion, the bank could only implement his pub business because it was blocked by all employees who worked there. But it was after Benjamin's men arrived, at Killian's behest, that the pub
Seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks went by. Hugo had been a poor man for a week now. Although he had received help from his brother-in-law, more was needed to open a new business.He used the help given by his wife's brother to buy a simple two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, but the land was large enough for him to grow crops if he wanted to.Although it looked small and was a bit far from the neighbours, it was a comfortable house to live in, as it was built on a green field with a vast expanse of rice fields.Hugo deliberately bought the house to calm down and make up for his big mistake. Count on switching professions as a farmer. Life and fate are genuinely unpredictable and full of mystery.***[Location: Living room, Killian's residence].Kevin hurriedly came because he was summoned suddenly by Killian and his grandfather to appear before the two of them immediately.
