"Why are you a waiter here?" asked Jackson who looked at Daniel with a dismissive look.Daniel gave a thin, forced smile. His sharp gaze went straight to Fredic who looked at him both surprised and astonished.Daniel had not been surprised to see Fredic become Jackson's personal secretary. When their gazes met, Daniel deliberately curved his smirk."I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Jackson." Daniel began to step up to the table in the center of the gathering.Jackson watched Daniel's movements with an intense gaze. There was satisfaction on his face at Daniel's current state."Were you fired from your job by Victor's mansion caretaker?" asked Jackson, his hands now placed on his waist.Daniel caught a glimpse of Jackson as he placed the glasses on the table. He was forced to curve a faint smile again, then put on a pitiable expression."Unfortunately, no. I decided to resign from my job," Daniel replied, lying. "You see, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Victor has been lying weak in the hospital.
"What are you doing, Fredic?!" Jackson's tone rose after listening to Fredic speak.There was silence in the room. The investors were shocked to hear Jackson's high-pitched yell. They were all instantly silent, including Daniel who clamped his own mouth shut.With a calm expression, Fredic then bowed to Jackson. Fredic looked back at Daniel with a wary gaze."I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson. I didn't mean to argue or give orders. But we can't trust just anyone," Fredic replied, trying to incite implicitly.Fredic stepped closer to Daniel and looked at him intensely. During this time, Jackson and the other people in the room also remained silent. Waiting to see what he would say and do."Mr. Jackson can trust the people on Mr. Victor's side like me and the other investors because we are fed up with Mr. Victor..."Hearing that, Victor glared in surprise and disbelief at what Fredic had said. Victor spontaneously wanted to step forward, but he restrained himself again.Meanwhile, Daniel raised bo
"Yes, I said you were a fool," replied Victor as Benyard without hesitation.Jackson's gaze sharpened on Victor as the annoyance on his face grew more intense. Jackson didn't expect Benyard, who he didn't know was controlled by Victor, to dare say such a thing."How dare you call me stupid." Jackson's voice lowered and sounded offended.Victor lowered his head and straightened his gaze at Jackson.Over time, Victor smirked after seeing Jackson's reaction. He knew that Jackson was easily provoked. That was why Victor deliberately threw out words that urged his annoyance."Don't you realize? Ah... it's a pity there aren't many people who can wake you up. They're all..." Victor pointed at the bewildered investors, then his index finger stopped at Fredic."...are just taking advantage of your power and money. Are you sure they won't betray you when you're useless?" Victor continued, addressing Jackson.Jackson clenched both hands into fists. His eyes sharpened on Victor as if he wanted to
"Wait, Benyard. Wait!" Daniel immediately held the shoulders of Benyard who was stepping quickly in front of him.Benyard's shoulders, whose body was still controlled by Victor, jerked back and finally stopped walking. Only then did his gaze shift to Daniel.They were now outside the restaurant. It was very late at night and not too crowded.Daniel looked at Victor who only wore an expression of innocence."Who exactly are you?" asked Daniel, his tone so serious.Victor turned his body fully to face Daniel. His hands were stuffed into his pants pockets. He looked calm as he looked at Daniel at that moment."I'm Benyard. You already know that," Victor replied, deliberately acting out Benyard's gestures.Daniel watched Victor's face, then his gaze moved to scan the rest of his body. Daniel still couldn't deny the strange feeling of watching Benyard's gestures.Why did Benyard look different today?During

"I can't tell you the details. Because I don't know that woman's name either. She met me using a pseudonym."Victor and Daniel frowned at each other after hearing Jhonny's words. They had not expected such an answer.They looked at each other as they both recalled the events of a few moments ago. There was one strange name on the visiting list on the day of Lawenn Innovate Group's investor meeting. There was not a single woman's name.Victor secretly wondered, was it because it was a secret... they couldn't easily find out who the woman in the CCTV footage was?"What do you mean?" asked Victor. "You can't lie to us. How could that woman use an alias?"Jhonny immediately shook his head, his expression one of worry and fear for Victor. But from the look in his eyes, Victor still felt he had something to hide."I don't know. I just got a message from a number I didn't even save." Jhonny said rather stammeringly.After Jhonny said that, Daniel immediately moved his face closer to Jhonny's
"What just happened?"Victor and Daniel were stunned after witnessing the accident moments ago. They were both now waiting at the hospital to see how Johnny was doing."We just met Jhonny, less than three hours ago. Why did the accident happen so suddenly?" Victor wondered, feeling curious.Daniel still rested his chin on his fist. He also did not expect that Jhonny would have such a sudden accident. In his mind, he wondered who was driving the big truck."Benyard, imagine if we also ran the red light. We would have had the same accident," Michael replied in a panicked tone.Victor was still biting his lower lip as he fiddled with his fingers. Over and over again, he tried to figure out how the big truck could coincide with the lane that had hit Jhonny's car.Victor already had a hunch that someone had deliberately planned Jhonny's accident. If that was the case, then they already knew that Jhonny would meet up with him and Daniel."That's right. I wonder if someone ordered the truck
[NEW SUB-MISSION ALERT!][JOIN TOMORROW'S BUSINESS INNOVATION SUMMIT WITH SEAN TO FIND INVESTORS][REWARD: 1 BILLION DOLLARS]Victor was somewhat surprised when a mission suddenly appeared in front of his face. His steps suddenly stopped so that Daniel also stopped."What is it, Benyard?" Daniel asked. "Is there something that's making you uncomfortable?"Victor briefly read the mission description that appeared, then gaped wide-eyed. He almost staggered from the shock of reading such a large sum of money."Oh my... that's a lot of money," Victor muttered spontaneously in a dumbfounded state.Beside Victor, Daniel was even more astonished to hear that soft sentence. Daniel, who felt curious, then turned his gaze to follow where Victor was looking."Hey, what exactly are you looking at? What amount of money?" Daniel was confused.There was nothing in front of them. There was no writing of the amount of money. There were only visitors, hospital nurses, or patients passing by.Suddenly V
