Kevin's chest rose and fell to the rhythm of his rapid breathing. He felt so unlucky that right now, he had to be caught up in his own game even though he had no idea how Leo's jewelry and belongings were with him. "I'm not a thief, and no one can say I'm a thief because I didn't do that." Kevin continued to defend himself. His gaze was now fixed on Leo, but it was useless for both of them to do anything because the evidence pointed to them. Especially now that everyone was accusing him. Kevin approached Leo, and he said, "How could this happen. Why is your stuff with me?" He said it in a whisper and didn't want anyone to hear their words. "I don't know what happened. I made sure everything worked out. But I didn't know it would end like this." Leo said that in a low voice as well. This made both of them feel upset. In fact, they were convinced that it was Cesare who had deliberately set them up. And now, Kevin looked at Xavia. He felt annoyed, too, because Xavia had been silent
Somewhere, a woman was quietly enjoying tea. She was sitting in a wheelchair with her gaze fixed on the garden in front of her. The greenery in front of her eyes cooled her gaze a little. The woman with hair that was left loose only gave a flat facial expression, and occasionally, she returned to sip the tea that was still in her right hand. She was used to the harsh life of the world and had experienced many things in her life. It was actually a pretty ordinary morning for Diana. She just went about her day as usual. The hot tea accompanied her every morning. Actually, Diana was not alone. A servant who was always with her stood behind Diana. He was always respectful to Diana, and when she tilted her head, he immediately lowered his gaze respectfully. "What about Cesare?" Diana asked with a cold look in her eyes. The man behind her immediately stepped closer. Until now, he was standing right beside his mistress's wheelchair. Then he said, "Madam, he has done all his work very we
In the place where Cesare was visiting today, there would be a city festival. It wasn't an ordinary festival. But it was a festival held to celebrate freedom where people there said that evil spirits would soon be captured. And some of them said that it was the time of city cleansing. And that's why they were doing a festival for the cleansing of the city. It was an interesting enough thing for Cesare that he intended to come to the festival.Actually, Cesare had never been to a festival like that. He had only come to the usual festivals until now. Cesare was immediately preparing to go to the festival that had been organized. "I guess I should get going." Cesare immediately got up from the bed and he immediately to prepare to go to the festival.After traveling for almost an hour, Cesare finally arrived at the festival. It was actually a festival that looked like any other. But there was something quite interesting there with the background they displayed. Some corners of the plac
In a very pitiful condition, Sam looked at Cesare with a weak look. Even the man was already almost helpless as blood continued to drip from his head. "Help me." Sam tried to ask for help, but he was so weak that his voice was completely inaudible to Cesare. Cesare looked at the man with cold eyes. Actually, he didn't know what had happened to Sam, and anyway, Cesare chose not to care about the man. But when Cesare was about to leave, Sam suddenly reached out and grabbed Cesare's leg, preventing Cesare from leaving the place. Cesare looked down. There, he could see Sam, who was staring with a pleading face. "Help me." Sam's voice sounded so pitiful. He was desperate for Cesare's help right now. Cesare had a flat expression on his face. Actually, he knew very well what Sam was probably feeling right now. In the past, Cesare was like Sam, with a poor life. Until Cesare knew that in a situation that was at the bottom, there would be many people who easily trampled. Meanwhile, some
Cesare was still standing calmly after he had given a small threat to the people who had acted violently. Meanwhile, the man below him was no longer face down and was now sitting up, but he was still holding Cesare's leg tightly. He was really expecting help from Cesare. At first, Sam thought that Cesare was not willing to help him, but when Cesare was on the edge of giving up, the man was surprised when Cesare defended him. So he quickly wiped away some of the blood that had started to dry on his face and tried hard to get up. But suddenly, the people who were there laughed quite loudly. They shook their heads and looked at Cesare's face. "Do you want to act like a hero? Don't you know that this man has committed many crimes here? But you have made a big mistake by standing up to defend that man." The man there certainly couldn't help but laugh out loud. He even held his stomach, which was hurting from the laughter. Actually, they were all very upset with Sam's actions of making a
Cesare went back to wandering around the festival grounds. He walked around some of the places he hadn't been able to visit before. Cesare seemed to really enjoy the festival atmosphere there. The area was very spacious and also crowded. But this time, Cesare walked straight until he chose a place on the outskirts of the site. Cesare's gaze, this time, was fixed on a stream that was not far from him. Finally Cesare chose to sit on the banks of the river and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Cesare exhaled his breath. His gaze was still fixed on the river water that looked calm in front of him. Cesare took out his cell phone and took the time to read some of the messages on his cell phone. "No interesting news today," he muttered softly. But afterwards, Cesare put his phone back in his pants pocket. After that, he got up from there. Cesare looked around again until his gaze fell on the crowd of people in front of him. Cesare approached the group until he finally found out that many people
While people were competing, Cesare spent the two matches that were there paying close attention to details. Even when people were busy judging Mateo, Cesare's gaze was fixed on Mateo's finger movements with a very focused eye. Cesare had actually been interested in chess since he was very young. In fact, he never missed a chance to watch his father fighting chess with his friend. And Cesare still remembered the words that his father always said every time his father ran the pawns there. "You have to remember this, if you want to use powder, it works to protect the king because when the king is defeated, the others may lose their way because that is a sign of defeat." Cesare still remembered his father's philosophy. After Cesare had observed the game twice, he had had enough of the attention he had seen. Because Cesare had actually been staring at Mateo's movements. He also remembered his father's words that said a strategist should be able to know what his opponent is doing so tha
The old man in front of him immediately removed his hands from in front of his chest. He looked at Cesare with a sharp gaze, and he rubbed his ears. For a moment, he felt that he had heard the wrong thing from Cesare. Not only Mateo but also everyone there was a little distrustful of their hearing after hearing the words said by Cesare. Everyone who was there looked at each other until everyone realized that they listened to the same sentence from Cesare. Mateo actually looked confused. Then, the old man leaned a little closer to Cesare. "Did you say the amount wrong? I heard you say five hundred thousand dollars. But did you really want to say five hundred dollars?" Mateo asked with a serious look in his eyes. He actually did not believe that Cesare had that much money. He wasn't even sure if Cesare had the two thousand dollars they were talking about. But Cesare was shaking his head slightly. Cesare's gaze was still cold. Then, finally, he said, "I said it right. Five thousand
