Seeing Deo’s anxious expression, Rina chuckled softly. Then, she entered Maria’s room.“Aish ... damn!” Deo muttered in frustration.His dignity as a mafia entertainment figure seemed to have vanished. After being easily trampled by Adolf, now he was being mocked by Rina, who happened to be one of his subordinates.Deo quickly walked to catch up with Christian to find out what he would say. However, Christian kept walking, entering the elevator. Deo ran swiftly before the elevator doors closed.Inside the elevator, Christian remained silent, his mouth closed. There were no signs that he would speak to Deo. Nevertheless, Deo prepared himself and occasionally glanced at Mr. Demetri to gauge his reaction.The elevator doors opened when they reached the ground floor. Christian, still with his mouth shut, walked towards the lobby.Only when they were inside Deo’s luxurious sedan, Christian turned to face Deo.“I think what Adolf did was way too much. I can’t let this drag on,” Christian sa
Christian smiled widely when Leopold said he would get everything done in less than 10 minutes. His facial expression and the confidence in his voice were convincing.“Great!” praised Christian.As Leopold was about to stand up to carry out the given command, Christian said something that made Leopold pause.“Oh, one more thing. You have a very good and extensive network of connections, right?” Christian asked.Leopold nodded.“Do you know a skilled programmer who is also a hacker?” Christian inquired.Leopold thought for a moment, trying to recall someone he knew with expertise in that field.“Oh yes, I know a hacker. About a year ago, I met him at a café. At that time, he was with my sister, and it turned out they were hacking into a renowned company’s website in Singapore. This guy is incredible!” Leopold exclaimed enthusiastically, introducing his sister’s friend to Mr. Demetri.“Oh, really? In that case, can you bring him here now?” Christian asked.“Here, now?” Leopold asked wit
Elara gazed at Christian, reminded of the unforgettable incident that left a deep impression on her.There was a mix of anger and embarrassment within Elara at that moment.“Do you live here now?” Christian asked.Elara nodded. Then she said, “I live here with my sister.”“What brings Mr. Demetri here? Does he want to meet me or someone else?” Elara asked with an uncomfortable expression.“I actually want to meet Lewis. Is he around?” Christian replied.Elara furrowed her brow, surprised that Christian wanted to meet her nephew.She knew exactly who was standing in front of her and what that person was capable of.If Lewis had truly offended Christian, trouble awaited him.“He hasn’t done anything wrong. I just want to meet him because there’s something I need to discuss. Simply put, I need his help,” Christian explained.Elara furrowed her brow. With a confused expression, she asked, “Mr. Demetri wants to ask for Lewis’ help? Is that not strange?”Christian nodded firmly.“What kind
Although a bit disappointed by Rini’s rejection, Christian tried to understand.What mother would want her child to engage in an illegal activity that harms others?Christian understood that well. Even the orphanage mother, who was his adoptive mother, always did the same if Christian was led down the wrong path by someone.“I understand Rini’s concerns. But I’m here for a different case,” Christian said.“What do you mean by a different case, how?” Rini asked, not understanding Christian’s words.“So, I came here to ask Lewis for help hacking the websites of some media companies that have spread false accusations. They have all done something beyond the limits, causing someone to become depressed and even contemplate suicide,” Christian explained.Certainly, Rini, Elara, and even Lewis were surprised by Christian’s explanation.“They did that? Who has been falsely accused?” Elara asked, curious.Christian nodded. Then he said, “Yes, the person falsely accused is Maria. The explicit v
After that, Rini handed her phone to Christian to inform him of her account number. “Here, Sir, this is the account number!”But when Christian took the phone, suddenly a man barged into the house and forcibly took Rini’s phone.Christian was, of course, surprised by what happened. Initially, he thought the man was Rini’s lover, as Leopold had mentioned that she no longer had a husband. But Christian was wrong. The man was a debt collector assigned by a wealthy man around Rini’s house to collect the debt she owed him.“Quickly pay your debt to Boss Anselm. If not, I’ll take this phone as collateral!” the man shouted.Rini stood up, saying, “I’ll pay, Brother. Don’t worry.”“What are you saying? Relax? You’ve been overdue for 2 months, and you dare say relax?” the debt collector asked loudly.Christian understood the root of the problem. He stood up, trying to calm the man and find a solution to this issue.“Calm down, Brother! Relax!” Christian said.The big man turned to Christian an
Christian immediately contacted John to bring several cars to pick up Lewis and his family who were moving temporarily.Since Lewis’s house was in John’s area, Christian asked his subordinate, the one, to help bring them to Hotel Diamond.After contacting John, Christian now called Alex to prepare additional forces around Hotel Diamond to ensure the security of Lewis and his family.Initially, Christian intended to instruct his subordinate to guard Lewis’s house. However, he suddenly changed his plan upon hearing that Lewis had successfully hacked the Metropolitan News website.He was concerned that the Adolf and Godfrey people could quickly discover Lewis’s whereabouts and bring a large force to harm him.Rini furrowed her brow. Then she asked after Christian finished, “Mr. Demetri, where are we going?”“I want to take you to stay temporarily at Hotel Diamond to ensure your safety,” Christian replied.“Do we have to move everything? What about this house later?” Rini asked, concerned
Adolf was furious with Deo. Because the most likely mastermind behind this incident was Deo.He vividly remembered how angry Deo was with him earlier this afternoon. That’s why he could accuse Deo as the mastermind.But he should have been able to see Deo’s facial expression when he mentioned that he was not afraid at all of the mafia. However, it was clear that Deo couldn’t possibly dare to do anything more.Adolf was going to contact Kairos to discuss this issue. However, he refrained from doing so when he saw the clock indicating it was past 11.Even though he was sure Kairos hadn’t fallen asleep yet, he didn’t want to disturb him at this late hour. Inside him, he still felt hesitant and afraid of the eldest son of the 7th richest family in USA.The man was well aware that he was not equal to Kairos, even though they currently had a mutually beneficial partnership. It was entirely possible for Adolf to contact Kairos right now to ask him to handle this hacker issue because that was
At this moment, Christian is leaning his face towards Rini. The woman, having leaned against the wall, just stays silent, gazing deep into Christian’s eyes.Their faces are now very close, and they can even feel each other’s breaths.With just a slight movement forward, their lips touch.And this is what Elara witnesses. She is so shocked that she unintentionally makes a sound like a trapped dog.Upon hearing that, Christian and Rini immediately move away from each other.“Uh, Elara. Where are you going?” asks Rini.Elara shakes her head, then turns around and goes back into her room.“Elara!” calls Rini, but her younger sister ignores her.The situation between Christian and Rini becomes awkward due to their recent actions.Actually, neither of them understands why they did that. The strong urge, almost demonic, made them use their common sense wisely.Elara’s arrival turns out to be a blessing for both of them. If Elara hadn’t been there, they might have gone too far.“Rini, I apolo
