As Rika walked through the dimly lit hallway, her footsteps echoed softly against the aged linoleum floor. Silence wrapped around her like a shroud, interrupted only by the hushed conversations of detectives and the occasional flash of a camera. As she turned a corner, she saw Lieutenant Sol just exiting one of the apartment rooms that seemed to be an operating room."Okay, make sure that Jim's new job was changed to that one. And as for the guard entrance job… Let's just give the chance to Louis. Tell him to stop recapping the accident and guard the entrance although I doubt it since he's quite a wimp," the lieutenant said, his voice low and authoritative."YES, SIR!" the subordinate replied crisply before hurrying off to carry out his orders.Lieutenant Sol closed the door to the apartment operating room, his gaze scanning the dimly lit hallway. He noticed Rika walking alone in his direction and approached her."Ah, Rika," the lieutenant greeted her, his tone polite yet slightly c

At the rooftop of an abandoned building.A lone figure with secretary outfit were stood on one of North Struggl’s abandoned building. Her slim figure leaned against the rooftop’s rusty railing and her tapered finger tapping the edge of a cigarette as she surveyed the streets below.‘So this is how he feels when seeing the scene from up here, huh? Well, it’s kind of surreal. Funny to think, how someone like me and him, who’s always looked up to the sky, now find themselves looking down. I can even look down easily on countless wealthy people from up here,’ she mused, a wistful smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she laughed at her own thoughts.“Stupid rich people,” the secretary girl muttered as she exhaled another smoke and blew it freely as if she made another gray cloud on the blue sky. ‘Tsk, my smoke is even more pretty than those stupid clouds.’ she thought.Then, as the secretary girl continued to smoke, suddenly, the door to the rooftop suddenly creaked open, disrupting

In all the years he'd been passing by this fast-food restaurant, he had never witnessed such a spectacle. The line of customers seemed endless, snaking out the door and curving around like a twisting serpent.“What the… What’s going on?” Greg mused aloud as he observed the chaotic scene. “Why are so many people lining up here? They're all lined up like a serpent, and it's even stretching outside the store. Somehow, it’s kinda remind me with something out of Gongebob cartoons that Griffin used to watch!"Feeling a curiosity to get the better of him, Greg decides to lean closer, wanting to get a better view. As a businessman he was, Greg couldn’t help but wonder, what could have caused such a frenzy in this already famous fast food restaurant.

Greg, still savoring the tranquility of Mr. Tan's noodle shop, had his serenity abruptly shattered by the sound of a loud clash followed by a waitress's scream. He blinked, a tinge of annoyance creeping into his expression. "What is that commotion?" he mused, glancing around the cozy interior. The peaceful atmosphere had been disrupted.His mind raced back to a similar scene not too long ago, a memory from the deceased old man's visit, when he had made a ruckus just because he wanted free noodles. Then another clash echoed, and this time, it was accompanied with Mr. Tan's exasperated scream!Couldn't ignore it any longer, Greg sighed as he stood up from his seat to investigate the latest disturbance..As Greg approached the source of the disturbance, he spotted a teenage boy in shabby clothes, unmistakably a villager.

After all, who wouldn't be surprised when hearing it from a young mouth.Avenge your grandpa?" Greg asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. "That's quite a heavy burden for someone your age. What happened to your grandpa that led you to go alone to seek revenge—?”Greg paused as he looked at the teenage boy, who looked down on his empty bowl. He seems pretty sad, and Greg couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy when seeing it.“Um, hey… You know, it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it,” Greg said, before switching the teenage boy's empty bowl with another bowl of noodles. “After all, you’ve been through a lot, and it’s not right for me to push you. But, If you ever feel like sharing, just know that I’m willing to listen to you. Even though we’re just meeting today.” Then, after Greg said that, the teenage boy, who previously looked down, began to look

Now that Greg knew the entire story, everything began to make sense. No wonder that the old man had been so furious with the executives back then, and even dared to launch on Gilbert at the restaurant! 'Behav is a bastard... How come they just be silent with all of this, and even brush the old man like a crazy person? I mean who wouldn't do that, after losing their entire family due to water pollution and medical negligence?' Greg mused to himself.Then as he delved deeper into the story, Greg learned that the executives had initially been a group of scholar medical students sponsored by Behav Company which makes all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place.It made
