Chapter 44: Hidden Patterns "Pattern?"Terry frowned at the words that came out of Steve's mouth. His chewing on the bread he was eating came to an abrupt halt.Terry centered his focus on Steve. He looked at the dark, purple-haired man with an intense gaze. His facial expression looked so serious, with a straight lip line. Terry rested his chin on the back of his hand like a detective questioning a suspect."What pattern are you referring to, Steve?" asked Terry in a serious tone."Can you explain it to me? Because I don't see the correlation between the things you just mentioned," Terry added as he swallowed the remaining bread in his mouth.Steve smiled a little at that. No wonder Terry looked confused like that. Indeed, it would be quite difficult to find the pattern of HK 0908 if one couldn't read what game was being played.Steve leaned towards Terry, who had moved his seat from the side to face him, so that the distance between them was quite close. The expression on his face
Chapter 45: Run!Steve, Terry, and Ben sped straight to Rosemary's main office in the city center after the call was disconnected. The three of them took a taxi to get there.Inside the car, Steve didn't say much. He chose to look out the window, taking in every building they passed. He was thinking hard about how to save his father.Even though Barbara didn't recognize him as a son, Steve couldn't just leave the man alone. Steve just didn't want to get into trouble with Aleena. He didn't want to be labeled a bad boy for putting his parents in danger.Terry and Ben were speechless. They themselves were shocked by the news. This incident was not unusual, especially since Barbara had often been terrorized worse than this.But if the culprit was HK 0908, who was the mastermind of all the recent riots, it made the three of them feel anxious. They were afraid that he might do something to Barbara.In no time at all, the trio had arrived at Rosemary's office in just 10 minutes. They had to
Chapter 46: AnnouncementThe man in charge of security was silent for a while. His body seemed to stiffen for a few moments, with a face that looked as pale as paper. The whistle in his hand even fell to the floor.This was also not much different from the workers who were filming the scene. In an instant, there was silence. No one made a sound after Jessy said that.Jessy chuckled as she felt that she had won this little debate. Her lips pulled up, curving into a smile that looked so beautiful. "Oh, you guys have realized with-""Hahaha,"Jessy stopped her words as everyone in the room laughed. The sound of laughter from the people who were recording this incident could be heard echoing all the way down the hall.Jessy raised her eyebrows. She looked confused by the current situation. Her eyes glanced at Steve, who was currently clenching his fists. The man was trying to hold back a huge emotion.Jessy even saw that between Steve's fingers, she could see blood dripping from there. T
Chapter 47: Father and Son (1)Everyone who was there fell silent at the words that came out of Barbara's mouth. The atmosphere that had been quiet has now turned into a bustling market. Many people shouted because they couldn't believe this news."What? This is impossible!"We guess that was the cry of the employees, who were too shocked by the news they got. Barbara smiled a little at the reaction of his employees. This was exactly what HK 0908 had expected."No matter how much you object, it won't change the fact that he is my son," Barbara continued his short speech, making the boisterous atmosphere instantly turn into silence in just a few seconds. "I hope you will respect him, because he will be the one to continue Rosemary's company."After the short speech, Barbara dragged Steve into his office, pulling him roughly by the arm. "Dad. Slow down. My hand hurts," Steve said with a grimace.Barbara paid no attention to the protests and whining that came out of her son's mouth. Onc
Chapter 48: Father and Son (2)Currently, Steve and Barbara were at a clothing store a short distance from the office. As a father who served as CEO, Barbara was uncomfortable when he saw Steve's clothes, which looked very shabby. No wonder the man was chased by security because he thought Steve was a beggar.Currently, Barbara was sitting on one of the sofas in the corner of the room in the store. He wanted to make the most of his time working while he waited for Steve to finish choosing the clothes he would wear.The man massaged his head, which felt a little throbbing. The work seemed to be piling up, and he was exhausted. Barbara needed to be able to train Steve as quickly as possible so that he could rest. He also hoped that his son would bring great changes to the company he had worked so hard to start."Ah, this is exhausting," Barbara muttered to himself as he put away the cell phone in front of his eyes. He kept it on the table. The man occasionally closed his eyes, which w
Chapter 49: KaiKai was naturally surprised when Steve found out about his name. He looked at Steve enthusiastically. His hand was stretched out on the table with a big smile etched on his face."Oh, you know my name?" The blond-haired man asked Steve. His free hand corrected the asymmetry of his tie.Steve nodded his head quickly. His eyes seemed to sparkle with a bright luster, full of curiosity."Yeah, I've seen you on TV," Steve replied with a faint smile etched on his lips. "Oh really?" asked Kai in response to Steve's words. "You saw me on TV? On which broadcast?"Steve seemed to think for a while while remembering the name of Chanel that he watched a month ago. He frowned while clenching his fists. However, not a single memory flashed through his head. "I forgot the name of the channel. But I saw you on TV when you just arrived from the airport. Then-,"Barbara cleared his throat softly as Steve spoke. The man also glanced at Steve's hand, giving his son the code. This made S
Chapter 50: Becoming a Villain?Jessy walked into the dark hallway again for the second time. She grumbled a little because her brother was telling her to do this. In her hand, there was a tray filled with food and fruit and a carton of milk.Hesitantly, Jessy turned the door handle. Looking around, she could see that the room was very small and stuffy. The dim lights hanging from the ceiling of the room looked so terrible, giving the impression of horror and also being tense.As soon as Jessy entered, the person in the room immediately turned her body from a lying position to facing Jessy. Her eyes were glassy, and she unconsciously shed tears again. The body shook violently. A soft sob filled the small room. Jessy sighed, then immediately approached the person and patted her shoulder lightly."Hey," Jessy called in a hesitant tone. Her low voice might not have been heard because the woman's sobs dominated the quiet room. "It's time for lunch. Eat a little so that your body is ener
Chapter 51: AccusationsDaniel chose to smoke on the balcony of his room. The man's appearance looked chaotic. His hair was so messy, and his shirt was buttoned up carelessly, making him look like a bad bod.This complicated atmosphere made his head feel heavy. He needed an refreshing so he could rethink this problem and find a solution. Daniel didn't want to get sick because he was too stressed.While he was focused on smoking, the balcony door opened. Daniel thought that it was Jessy, because she liked to come into his room without permission. Daniel felt his heart swell with excitement. He looked back briefly with a happy face. "Jessy?"However, reality was not what he expected. The one who came to the balcony was not his girlfriend, but his youngest sister, Layla.Daniel's face turned as flat as a wall. The look of disappointment was evident in those soot-black eyes. Daniel turned his face to the front again, enjoying the view of the city while taking a drag from the cigarette in
