Meanwhile, in Glasgow, the eleven-storey building, the day after Rickie and his six friends arrived. Alfie summoned the critical members of his company to an impromptu meeting that very day.
In the meeting, he wanted to discuss all the possibilities about his intention to reclaim the two companies Miguel had taken over and avenge the death of his nephew Gabriel.
"Yesterday, I received a report from my sister's husband's people that all his businesses went bankrupt because the bank cancelled the contract with him," Alfie began the meeting.
"I suspect that this is all the work of my business rivals, the Spencer family, through their descendant, Killian," he said again with a furious expression.
"Killian, Miguel," they murmured softly but loudly enough.
"Do you still remember two years ago, when Miguel, through his people, foiled my plans to take over two major companies in Glasgow?" asked Alfie trying to remind his men of the matter again.
"We
"I still want to buy that house no matter what people say," Elvira said, not wanting to know and not believing the news about the house she wanted to buy when Dylan met her in the hotel room. "But mum, this has happened a lot. Whoever lives in that house will die!" argued Dylan, trying to remind his mum. "Only villagers believe in stories like that. We are city people, educated people. You still believe in stories like that!" his mother snapped angrily and seemed to look down on others. "It's not just a story, mum; it's real. The realtor assigned to offer the house didn't even dare to go inside. He just stood outside while I was told to go inside the house myself," Dylan explained, remembering what happened inside the empty house. "Are you saying we shouldn't buy the house?" his mum replied angrily. "If we're not going to buy that house, then what other house are we going to buy?" he said irritably. "Didn't you say that the house is very cheap? With a size of 14×20 metres, isn't
The incident of the arrest of dozens of Oscar's men finally reached Alfie's ears, which made his heart uneasy. If they opened their mouths, they would expose his secret, and retribution would surely come.But what he feared was not to be because soon after, Oscar, his subordinate and good friend, calmed his friend's worries, saying, "You don't have to worry because they don't know who I am.""Besides, they've never met me, and the number I used to contact the chairman wasn't mine but someone else's," he said again."So you don't have to worry!" he said, trying to calm Alfie."Ah, thank goodness then. I was just afraid that if Miguel found out it was me, we'd be finished!" he said worriedly."I don't think it will be like that because the people assigned to disrupt the company were obtained from my messenger, but he is not an employee of this company. So there's no way we'll be traced," Oscar replied confidently."Can you guarantee our action
"Excuse me, Maam! Sorry if we're intruding. Do you recognise this person?" asked Deepika in a kind and gentle voice, showing her a picture of a person, printed large, on a white sheet of paper."I don't know," she replied curtly, but a look of fear was on her face."You don't need to be afraid of us. We are all friends of this woman," Deepika said, still softly but with a lie in her voice.The middle-aged woman Deepika had asked didn't respond, but her head turned around as if looking for something. Her behaviour, of course, caused Deepika and her friends to frown. Meanwhile, Henry, the leader of the group, remained silent.He had deliberately entrusted the task to Deepika because the person to be asked was a middle-aged woman, who, of course, if approached by a woman, the attitude might be different. But as it turned out, Henry's prediction was wrong. Instead, the woman bluntly answered Deepika's questions.Seeing such an attitude, Henry became fu
But so far, Oscar's efforts have been fruitless. Tate strongly resisted her advances by confining herself to the house, rarely venturing out unless there was an urgent need. Even then, she had to be watched from afar. Neighbours who saw and heard about it became concerned about Tate's plight, but they could not do anything about it, as Oscar always sent his men to monitor Tate's activities daily, limiting her space. The authorities also had no evidence to arrest them, as they committed no offence. They sat in the cafe, not far from Tate's house, drinking tea. There were few of them, only four to six spies. Therefore, they were considered not to have committed any unlawful acts. But one day, Tate and his mother tried to escape their surveillance by moving out of his father's inherited house, but they discovered their efforts on the spot. The spies watching them became angry and forced Tate and his mother to return to his house. Oscar, who heard the news, also became angry and ordere
"Usually hunting is in the forest, but why in the middle of the city?" Oscar thought. "This guy's got it!" he thought to himself. "What do you mean, sir, do you want to hunt for food or tourist attractions?" asked Oscar, wanting to reaffirm what his new friend was saying. "That's what we meant. Sorry if I misspoke. But if possible, we also want to hunt people," Henry said jokingly. "Sir, you've got something going on. What kind of animal are you hunting?" replied Oscar jokingly. "It could be if that person needs to be hunted because they are expensive. Hahahaha..." argued Henry with a crunchy laugh. Oscar just wryly smiled because he had started to catch a bad vibe. He just remembered that he was currently hiding, on the advice of his friend Alfie. But being a fanatic coffee lover, he still couldn't resist the urge to drink coffee at the cafe he usually visited. Even though at home there is also, the coffee served by the cafe waiter is very delicious. Unfortunately, when he wen
"From your tone, you don't know Harrison and Theo," Henry responds quickly."That's right! I don't know them," replied Oscar trying to lie."What about this contact number? Isn't this the number you used to contact Harrison and his men," Henry rebutted quite cleverly."H-how did you get this contact number?" asked Oscar nervously."You don't need to know how I got the contact number you used, but you just need to know that technology is very advanced," Henry replied lightly."You answer my question. What was your reason for sending Harrison, Theo and the intruders to Spencer Group?" Henry asked intimidatingly.Oscar kept quiet, not trying to answer or respond to anything because he thought this was a public place, and if they made trouble, then it would be quickly caught by the authorities, but apparently, his thoughts were wrong.Dexon, who was already furious, seeing his boss being toyed with like that, pressed Oscar's right thigh a
Arriving at the Spencer Group company, Oscar was brought in with a light escort, as the company was their territory. Douglas welcomed Henry and his men and took them to the warehouse, where Theo and his men were being held. "Do you know this man Theo?" asked Henry in a heavy voice. "Don't know him, boss, but if he talks, I might recognise his voice," Theo replied honestly. "Take that gag off!" Henry ordered sternly. Deepika, close to Oscar, violently pulled the tape over Oscar's mouth. Between annoyance, resentment and hurt, Oscar is forced to accept the rough treatment, walks over to Theo and greets him directly. "How are you Theo?" he greeted in a heavy voice. "Yes! He's the one who contacted me through the phone line, and yes, he's Oscar." Theo shouted firmly, wanting to vent his frustration on the man before him. "It turns out you're telling the truth. You're working under orders, and you're doing it for pay. Therefore, we will still punish you, by cutting off your hands one
After receiving the order from Killian to execute the savings in Alfie's company and personal accounts, Russell quickly conducted the order.Alfie's two banking accounts were drained in about five minutes and transferred to another account. Then from that account, it was transferred to another account, making it difficult to trace the owner.Miguel and Spencer Group officials witnessed the process of transferring Alfie's money with regular expressions because they had seen such incidents many times. They did not blame Killian for his decision because if left unchecked, it would jeopardise the integrity of the company they worked for.Like an insect that wants to bite us, should we leave it alone or chase it away, while after being chased away and gone many times, it still comes and still bothers us?So it is with Alfie, too. From when his grandfather was still in power, controlling the Spencer group, Alfie had repeatedly tried to disrupt the Spencer Group
