After treating his wounds, Brian went downstairs where everyone had gathered. The man who attacked Brian was also there, on his knees, with his hands tied behind his back.Nobody spoke between them. Arnold's expression looked terrible. The third old man was very angry because his grandson whom he had searched so hard for was now injured and almost in danger."How are your injuries, Brian?" Manda asked as soon as Brian came and sat on the sofa with Alessia who was forced to come along."I'm fine, Auntie, don't worry," answered Brian, but his gaze was fixed on Arnold who glanced at Brian from the corner of his eye.Brian's attention was focused on the man who was still sitting kneeling in front of them.“Tell me again. What did you mean by doing that to Brian, and who told you to do it?” Liam asked in a demanding tone."As I said before, do it of your own free will, no one has the power," answered the man, remaining firm in not saying it."Unlucky!"For the first time, Brian was surpris
The fate of becoming an heir is not easy, especially with minimal experience and absolutely nothing to master. Brian is still learning and understanding what the life path of an heir is like.Brian knew it wouldn't be easy. But, Brian didn't expect it to be that heavy. Last night there was an attack on him, now it's worse than before.What has happened?It filled Brian's mind when Liam asked him to come down after waking up from his sleep,- and followed him to the back room that Arnold had intended to go to last night.His body was stiff,- and cold, and I don't know what else Brian felt about her. It's hard to believe what happened there. The thick smell of rusty iron pierced the nose, and red stains on the white floor of the room formed a small pool with a stiff body.It was the body of the man who attacked Brian at that time. Disbelief overtook Brian, fear, worry, and even worse things began to enter his mind. Brian lost focus, holding his breath, trying to believe what was happenin
“What do you mean, Grandpa? Why didn't I—""Brian, listen to me," interrupted Arnold with an unreadable facial expression.Brian was silent for a moment.“You are still new here. There will be people who are suspicious if you are seen by many people. I can't explain much to you right now, but I want you to do as I say,” Arnold explained.Brian was silent in disbelief. Brian wanted to stay there,- and see what happened, and how the police investigation turned out. Who is the suspect? Brian himself was involved with this man, the investigative evidence may point to Brian as well.“You just have to watch, and just pay attention for now. Things that happen now, could happen in the future. I don't want you to get involved directly at this time, but you can study this incident. Of course, I will explain it to you once everything is under control," Arnold continued to explain while also asking Brian to understand.What should Brian do now? Follow Arnold, or stick to your heart's desire to se
Brian was curious about all the results of the police investigation, and who the perpetrator of the murder was. There were so many questions in his head, but Kiara insisted that Brian not leave the place. Even after breakfast, Brian was increasingly curious about what might be happening there. How is Arnold's condition, many more questions fill my mind."You have to relax here," said Aleesia while placing a cup of warm drink."Oh, thanks," said Brian.Alessia sat on the sofa, opposite Brian. Even though their relationship was officially a couple, at a time like this, how could they still think about making out?"I'm just worried, and also curious," admitted Brian after taking a sip of the warm drink."I know. "However, it's useless if you insist on being there," said Alessia.Brian nodded his head."Just a little more. You need to hold on a little longer," added the girl, trying to change Brian's worries.They started talking there, just the two of them because Kevin and Kiara were in
Liam carried out his duties to explain to Brian the results of the police investigation, which had not yet been determined,- and asked Brian to be careful even though he was in a safe place that only the man knew about."So, same with killed Dad?" Brian asked.“I can't confirm it yet. But, there is a possibility. Maybe they are connected. Because the man doesn't want to say it, so we don't know for sure," answered Liam."It turned out to be far from what I expected," said Brian.Liam looked at him.“All the things that happen when I make decisions that I think are the best,” explains Brian.Liam's response made Brian turn towards him because the man smiled after hearing Brian's words.“Did you know, in every decision, there is always a risk that must be faced? This is one of them," Liam said wisely.Liam's words made Brian realize.“This is the beginning, isn't it?” Brian looked at his uncle, and Liam nodded. “What should I do to stay safe and stay true to myself?”Liam looked back at
They were silent when the camera footage was played. Liam does have several hidden cameras that only he knows about. In every corner of the house, there is another camera. There is one on the second floor near Brian's room. That's why now Liam's laptop screen displays what happened to Brian last night."It looks like he had planned it," commented Manda, who watched the recording.“That's right,” Liam said. "But there are other recordings that might show what happened in that room," said Liam, a little hesitantly.All eyes turned to him, asking in confusion."You secretly kept a camera in Brian's room?" Manda asked a little protestingly.Liam showed a smile."Since when?" Arnold asked.“Long before Brian came to this house,” Liam admitted.“Very good, Liam,” said Arnold in praise. This time the man smiled.Manda glanced at her husband with a small smile.Arnold asks Liam to play the recording of Brian's attack. This would be disproving evidence that they did no such thing at all.“Then
Brian's steps were fast, slightly running out of Liam and Manda's room. His mind was only focused on Kiara and Kevin. Somehow he felt bad about it. In his heart, Brian hoped."Hopefully nothing happens," thought Brian, still moving.Coincidentally, on his journey, Brian met Alessia who was with Kiara. The two girls sat together on the sofa. Alessia didn't go to Liam's room to see the recording. Kiara was seen playing with the girl on her cell phone."Why is your face like that, Brother Brian? Are you being chased by a demon?” said Kiara commenting on Brian's slightly pale facial expression.Ignoring Kiara's joke, Brian glanced around the living room, looking for Kevin's figure."Where's Kevin?" Brian asked.Alessia got up from her seat as if she felt something unusual from Brian."Why?" the girl asked."I don't know. But where is Kevin?” Brian asked hastily."Kevin went into his room earlier," answered Alessia.Not needing any more answers, Brian rushed to Kevin's room. But before tha
“I don't know who gave the order to eliminate the Commissioner's descendants. However, please, don't hurt the child," said Brian, trying to talk to the man.But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be of any use. The man was so alert that Brian had difficulty finding an opening. But, for now, Brian will keep talking.“I'm the one who will take over, not him, or his brother. I will be the replacement commissioner, wouldn't it be better if you take me first?"Brian spoke as fully as possible, or maybe even aroused the perpetrator's emotions, as long as there was a little gap, and a chance to invite Kevin to find the man's grip.Who would have thought that the laughter that came out of the man's mouth made Kevin stop crying? Either because his voice was loud, or his tone was cynical and cold. But Kevin thought Brian was confused. Brian pulled the corners of his lips into a smile, calmed Kevin as best he could, and promised to save the child unharmed."What is so funny?" Brian's rebuke made
