The drive back to his Blue Diamond Villa in Onyx Palace was uneventful and smooth, and after driving skillfully for over 2 hours and 30 minutes, Nicolas arrived safely at his destination.Of course, Nicolas was smart enough to avoid any major roads and traffic, as he was sure that the Mercedes Benz C300 he used with his false identity as Seth Kaysen would surely be traced during the investigation to see if he was the arsonist that set Limbra Inc. on fire, so he decided to follow a route he mapped out earlier to avoid bringing any attention to himself.This was also why it took him much longer to reach his villa. A journey that would have taken him at most 1 hour and thirty minutes took him a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. This made his journey an extra hour long, but Nicolas didn't mind it. As long as he was able to complete his mission while keeping his real identity a secret, he was fine with the extra time spent.It was way past 3 p.m. when Nicolas finally arrived at
Nicolas opened the drawer of his large mahogany desk and brought out a sleek black laptop. He also brought out a black notebook and a ballpoint pen and dropped them neatly on the mahogany desk before turning his attention back to the hard disk drive and cellphone he took from the hidden compartment in Jack Harvey's office.He took a white USB cord that he had used before and connected the hard disk drive to his sleek black laptop. He then switched on his laptop and crossed his hands; his now-blue irises narrowed as he waited for his laptop to turn on.He didn't have to wait long, as in less than a minute, his laptop was switched on and ready for use. He swiftly operated his laptop and navigated to the section where the hard disk drive icon was showing on his laptop.He double-clicked on the hard disk drive icon, half expecting it to open and grant him access to the contents of the hard disk drive. Alas, those were merely wishful thoughts on his part. It turned out that the hard disk d
Meanwhile, while Nicolas was waiting for Joel to bypass the secured passcodes on the hard disk drive and cellphone, Jack Harvey was fuming seriously in his office."The origin of the fire is far from ordinary!" Jack Harvey cursed venomously as he looked at the empty, hidden compartment on the wall of his office.Some hours earlier, Jack Harvey was in a very important business meeting with the upper echelon of Limbra Inc. It was disguised as a business meeting, but deep down, every one of them who attended the meeting knew that it was far from that.Rather than being a business meeting, it was a meeting that was meant for them to fight for their own selfish interests.None of the upper echelon at Limbra Inc. were innocent and naive. Instead, they were quite the opposite—ssly and greedy.This was to be expected, as none of them would have climbed to the top of Limbra Inc. if they were kind and naive.It was during the meeting that they heard the fire alarm ring throughout the entire bui
While Jack Harvey was currently fuming and panicking at the loss of his safeguarded items, the culprit, Nicolas, was leisurely watching a soap opera drama on his TV as he waited for both Joel to hack the hard disk drive and cellphone and Charlotte to arrive.Nicolas watched the soap opera drama with a bored expression on his face. He was not interested in the drama at all and was simply waiting for one of his two current plans to be successful. Fortunately, he did not have to watch the soap opera drama for long, as twenty minutes after Nicolas made the phone call to Charlotte, she finally arrived at his Blue Diamond Villa."Mr. Nicolas." Charlotte greeted politely in her elegant voice, and traces of reverence could be heard in her voice.She was dressed in a beautiful black gown that was laced with different expensive jewels. That gown was a bit short, coming to a halt on her knees, showing off her beautiful and milky white long legs and thighs.The gorgeous black gown was also skin t
Nicolas was beside himself with joy at the pleasant discovery he had just made. He had expected something of the sort to be contained in the hard disk drive, but he did not expect it to be this detailed. He had to give it to Jack Harvey; he really was a meticulous man.'If the hard disk drive can contain such a comprehensive list, what would the contents of the cellphone be? Nicolas thought, a curious expression appearing on his extremely handsome face.Naturally, Nicolas did not forget what Detective Oliver told him about Jack Harvey. He knew that there was a very high possibility that Jack Harvey was involved in his mother's death; therefore, he was determined to find the truth.He closed the detailed list of financial crimes on his laptop and grabbed the cellphone on his desk. Without any hesitation and a lot of anticipation on his extremely handsome face, he unlocked the cellphone and started going through it.Ten minutes later, Nicolas was frowning as he stared at the cellphone i
Despite the joy Nicolas had after finally getting a new lead on his mother's death, he chose not to act immediately on it yet, despite the fear that the trail might go cold if left unchecked.He decided to set his mind to completing the unfinished matters he had on his hands first before delving into the new lead he discovered. Moreover, there was still the matter of Victor, who was supposedly meant to be in prison. However, not only was he roaming the streets of Stormwind City without serving the punishment meted out to him, he was also seen at Limbra Inc., the same company where he worked as a false junior accountant.The whole situation had been weighing on his mind. He could not bear the fact that someone who had committed a lot of heinous crimes with Patrick Schick was now roaming freely.Not to mention the fact that Victor came to Limbra Inc. a couple of times. Nicolas was not naive and did not believe for once that Victor's appearance there was harmless.'There's something more
Nicolas' drive to the Iil Group Headquarters was both smooth and uneventful. He drove his Lamborghini to the Iil Group headquarters, so his journey was also considerably quick. In less than thirty minutes, he had arrived at the Iil Group headquarters. He parked his Lamborghini Aventador neatly in the parking lot before making his way to the main building of his current enemy.The Iil Group was among the top business groups in Stormwind City, so its net worth was well over $300 million. Looking at the building in front of him, he could easily tell that a significant amount of money had been put into constructing the building.The area surrounding the building was very wide, spanning 2 acres of land. There were a lot of trees and greenery as far as Nicolas eyes could see, indicating that Isaac Iil, the chairman of Iil Group, was most likely a fan of greenery.The main building stood as tall as a castle amidst the expansive greenery. Nicolas could not accurately guess the height of the b
•Iil Group HQ, Board Meeting Room•Inside a very luxurious conference room, seven people could be seen seated across a round table. The round table was brown in color, and the sheen of the table showed that it was purchased from a top-of-the-line furniture store in Stormwind City.There was a very extravagant chandelier that hung from the center of the conference room. The presence of the chandelier added a classy touch to the conference room. There were also different portraits of prominent people in Stormwind City and beyond hung on the silk-painted walls of the conference room, giving the conference room a stylish and sophisticated appearance.Three people sat across the round conference table facing another three people, while there was only one chair at one end of the table.A handsome man who looked to be in his early fifties currently occupied that chair. If Nicolas were here, he would be able to instantly spot the striking resemblance between the handsome old man and Victor Ii
