2024-10-29 19:42:56"Mr. John has been found guilty of the premeditated murder committed against you, Mr. Leo."
Leo looked at Bram who handed him his tablet to tell him a news article. In the car heading to the Araizona Group Company's corporate building, Leo read one of the news articles. "The narcotics business at the AHA Club was also exposed. So he owns the biggest club in London?" Leo asked. Bram nodded his head. "That's right, Mr. Leo. After the investigation of yesterday's case, the prosecution found several acts of lawlessness committed by Mr. John." For a split second Leo read the rest of the news caption on the article. After that, he closed the tablet while letting out a long sigh. "I already guessed that someone like him must have various illegal businesses behind. I just don't know how to uncover them," Leo said. Bram glanced at Leo through the small rearview mirror above his head. "I'm still someone who doesn't have any power. I even borrowed money until I was almost killed by him," Leo said continuing his words. "Mr. Leo, I'm sorry for what you've been through. You've fought hard for your life," Bram replied. "No problem, Bram. I'm already relieved that Mr. John got what he deserved," Leo said with a warm smile. All this time Leo had been holding back while facing Mr. John. Moreover, Leo was also in the middle of Lily's family who urged him to comply with all their wishes. So Leo was forced to go back into debt to Mr. John even though he had already paid off his other debts. Mr. John's treatment of people who owe him is also like trash. Leo often saw how Mr. John tortured poor people in his personal 'cage'. Remembering it all, Leo immediately shuddered in horror while shaking his head. Leo didn't want to dwell too much on his bad memories. "Mr. Leo, we've arrived at the Araizona Group Company building," Bram said, snapping Leo out of his reverie. Leo looked away, he was stunned to see how magnificent the Araizona Group Company building was from a close distance. Leo knew this company was the biggest. But he had never seen it up close. "There are already staff waiting in the lobby, Mr. Leo," Bram informed him. Leo slowly got out of the car after refusing Bram's help. That made Bram step quickly over to Leo for security. Leo and Bram walked hand in hand to the lobby door of Araizona Group Company. Leo breathed in the fresh air of the luxurious building he hadn't stepped into in years. Leo saw several staff standing on either side, giving way, bowing in respect. "Greetings, Mr. Leo!" They exclaimed firmly in Leo's honor. Where he stood, Leo was dumbfounded. He froze and stared at the staff who seemed reluctant to him. Leo just give a little smile. "Thank you for your welcome," Leo replied warmly. "Well, you shouldn't have to do this." One of the people among the staff approached Leo. The man who had a name tag that read 'Director of Araizona Group Company' gave a smile of formality. "I didn't expect to meet the heir of Araizona Group Company. I'm Mr. Pedro, Director of Araizona Group. I'm very happy to welcome you." Leo arched a warm smile in reply to Mr. Pedro's words. "Thank you, Mr. Pedro," Leo said. Before Leo could say anything else, Bram suddenly approached him. Bram whispered something very serious to Leo. "Mr. Leo, someone is waiting to see you in the VIP room." Leo's eyebrows furrowed at Bram's words. Leo briefly looked at Bram as if asking who was coming, then Bram replied by shaking his head. "That person asked not to mention his name in front of you," Bram explained. "Should I come there now?" asked Leo. "They seem urgent to talk to you." Leo finally looked at Mr. Pedro and the staff. "I really appreciate your hospitality. Sorry, I have to meet someone who wants to talk to me now. It's an urgent situation," Leo excused himself. It wasn't long before Leo stepped out again with Bram. Followed by two bodyguards who led them to the VIP room. "Why won't they tell us who they are, Bram?" Leo asked. "I don't understand, Mr. Leo. Maybe it was to get you to meet him, but he should have made an appointment first." "Either he's so desperate, or he's someone from the conglomerate that the rules don't apply to him," replied a guessing Leo. The elevator opened. They rushed to the VIP room. Leo was already wondering who the guest was who came and wanted to talk to him. When the VIP room door opened, his whole body froze after seeing who had come. The elevator opened. They rushed to the VIP room. Leo was already wondering who the guest was and wanted to talk to him. When the VIP room door opened, his whole body froze after seeing who had come. "Leo, gosh. I'm so happy to see you again." Leo furrowed his brow in confusion and disbelief. He repeatedly tried blinking his eyes to confirm his own vision. "Wait. Mr. Walter? Why are you here?" In front of Leo was Mr. Walter with Lily. His former father-in-law and his ex-wife. "I saw you at the Holland Family mansion at the event last night. I... didn't expect you to really be the heir to the Araizona Group Company," Mr. Walter said. Leo watched Mr. Walter with a surprised look on his face. Instantly his memory revolved around the moment when Mr. Walter and Lily disparaged him. They had dumped him just like that. "What brings you here, Mr. Walter?" asked Leo, sharply but calmly. Mr. Walter walked up to Leo. For the first time, Mr. Walter's gaze seemed so warm to Leo. He even smiled. A smile that made Leo wonder. Why had Mr. Walter's attitude changed so drastically towards him? "I didn't expect you, my former son-in-law, to be the heir to a big company. I... I knew you actually had a talent for success," Mr. Walter said. Leo grinned at Mr. Walter after those words were said. "You used to say I was lousy, poor, and useless because I never succeeded," Leo retorted, deliberately sarcastic. Mr. Walter immediately looked somewhat stunned. It was like he was remembering a past incident. But soon his face returned to normal. "Ah, I was just motivating you, Leo. You know, a person will be more excited when they're motivated by something," Mr. Walter replied with a chuckle. "Tell me to the point, Mr. Walter. What do you want?" asked Leo. Mr. Walter briefly faded his smile into an awkward expression. He realized Leo was not at all persuaded by his sweet words. "I'm interested in offering you a business partnership, Leo. We have a close relationship as son-in-law and father-in-law." "Yes, but that's in the past, Mr. Walter," Leo said. "You said yourself that you don't want to deal with me anymore. Aren't I useless?" "Oh, come on, Leo. Let's forget what happened in the past," Lily said, walking slowly towards Leo. Leo turned his gaze to Lily. "For someone who betrayed you, it must be easy to forget everything you did."

"Welcome everyone. Once again, we are all back in a meeting for one of Grand Ocean Restaurant's business innovations!" The flash light from the cameras shone right at Mr. Walter. As planned one week ago, today was a repeat of the meeting to discuss the plans for the Grand Ocean Restaurant. Since Leo had made a statement through a press conference about the DID Cartel, the news about the DID Cartel had suddenly disappeared. A week passed and many people were no longer talking about the DID Cartel. In the large company hall room, Mr. Walter faced the guests. This time he only invited a few CEOs of large international companies, well-known investors-including the five heads of the DID Cartel and Leo as the main investor, and journalists from media companies that Leo had paid. "I know the news about the DID Cartel a few weeks ago shocked you a lot. Ah, it was a very exciting news," Mr. Walter said with a chuckle. Leo just looked at Mr. Walter seriously. He sat in the very front seat,

"I don't know what you're talking about," Jonsen said as he gave a meaningful smile that was quite sardonic. Hearing Jonsen's words, Leo raised both eyebrows in astonishment. Somehow Leo already felt that there was something to hide just from the look on Jonsen's face. To be honest, Leo tried to provoke Jonsen to tell the truth. But after hearing Jonsen's reaction, Leo was curious if his guess was right. "I'm not sure you don't understand, Mr. Jonsen. Is it that after you kill a few people, you don't remember what they did?" Leo asked, insinuating Jonsen. Jonsen then laughed dismissively as he bowed his head briefly. He casually inhaled the cigarette smoke and looked up to exhale. "I just remember how they whimpered begging to stay alive," Jonsen retorted with no pity on his face. Leo's heart warmed up a little. He wondered if his suspicion was correct that Jonsen was involved in the death of his parents. He tried to restrain himself from being provoked by the emotions in hi

So did several investors who were in front of Mr. Walter. Seeing Leo's presence made them immediately put on expressions of surprise and astonishment. "Oh, Mr. Leo is also at this event?" asked one of the retail company CEOs, Mr. Orphan. Leo gave a brief smile in greeting. "Of course. What's keeping me from coming after Mr. Walter's invitation?" Leo replied with a chuckle. Mr. Orphan nodded his head in understanding. "Do you also intend to invest in Mr. Walter's business innovation? Aren't... you guys business rivals?" Getting that question made Leo flinch for a while. During his silence, he looked at each other with Mr. Walter as if asking how to answer. "I'm still considering it and don't want to tell you yet. Oh, about us being business rivals... just ask Mr. Walter," Leo replied. After Leo's glance fell on him, Mr.

It was a new mission that had appeared two hours ago. Right now, Leo was in the VVIP room of a restaurant with Mr. Walter. Meanwhile, Bram and Hans were waiting outside the room. They had arranged an appointment with Pabo Nerulda-one of the big investors who was also involved in the mafia. "Hello, have you come? Sorry you waited so long for my arrival." A voice from behind made Leo and Mr. Walter look away in unison. Leo saw the figure of Pablo Nerulda walking into the room with a stern yet friendly aura. "Ah, Mr. Pablo. We're just waiting for a moment, after all, it's an honor for us," replied Leo who gave a smile of formality. Pablo

"The Grand Ocean Restaurant construction project received a $10,000,000 investment from Mr. Pablo Nerulda-an investor and CEO of one of Italy's largest companies." Mr. Holland read the title of the article displayed on the living room's LED screen. Meanwhile, Leo was already seated on the long sofa and did not move his gaze from the LED screen. Now, Mr. Holland was with Leo, Hans, Bram, Jack - Leo's younger brother, and Mrs. Holland. When Leo had just returned from the meeting with Mr. Handrick, there was already Mr. Holland and his family in the living room. "Have you become Mr. Walter's side, Leo?" asked Mr. Holland. Leo briefly looked at Mr. Holland and shook his head. "Of course not, Father. Why should I switch sides to Mr. Walter's side?" asked Leo. Mr. Holland immediately sighed heavily. "Then, if you get the investment money for the Grand Ocean construction project, what about your new business innovation construction project?" he asked. Leo had expected Mr. Holland to w

"Mr. Jonsen, known in the mafia world as Blanco Scandla Piscasso, is a mobster known for selling illegal alcohol and cocaine narcotics. "He has distributed cocaine narcotics to various countries on several continents, but there are several countries that are the center of his sales, namely Mexico, Italy, Canada, and Los Angeles. His sales profit reached 500 million dollars," Mr. Holland said as he read out the explanation of the information he had gathered. Leo frowned sharply and looked at Mr. Holland in surprise. He didn't expect that Mr. Holland had already found information about Mr. Jonsen. "Where did you get the information about Mr. Jonsen's mafia side?" asked Leo who looked at Mr. Holland curiously. "Did you forget that your father is a CEO who deals with companies overseas?" said Mr. Holland. "I own hotels in Canada and Italy, but I keep it a secret that I own them. I asked a trusted man named Mr. Bjorka to manage the hotel, and while I was monitoring from afar, Mr. Bjo

"WOAH! I'm really very happy! The Grand Ocean Restaurant construction project successfully secured investment funds from Pablo Nerulda!" Mr. Walter said in a quite loud voice while clapping his hands. Leo sipped his drink with a proud smile. More precisely, he was proud of himself for being able to prove his contribution to the Grand Ocean Restaurant construction project. An hour ago, Leo received an invitation to a meeting from Mr. Walter with the four heads of the DID Cartel. The meeting was a celebration of Mr. Walter's success in getting investment funds from Pablo Nerulda. "Ten million dollars may not seem like a lot of money to us, but you got it from Mr. Pablo Nerulda," said Catrina, the woman who was the CEO of the electric car company. But behind the scenes, Catrina was a female mobster known as Abella D'Plantos. Leo curved a smile of formality at Catrina. After that, his pair of eyes glanced at Jonsen who was looking at him through a look that implied hatred. "It's

"I'm not sure they'll be approachable," Bram replied, also wearing a worried expression. "The most important thing is that we defend that land, Bram. We can't let the investors of the Araizona Center Land Residential Property development project fail," Leo tried to reassure. Bram did not answer. But from his expression, he seemed to want to carry out Leo's plan. "If we fail to get the land and the investors have already given us 50 million dollars, the investors won't trust us. Araizona Group Company's reputation will suffer," Leo said, looking at the LED screen seriously. The whole room fell silent. They didn't dare agree, nor did they dare argue. Doubt engulfed them all. Because what they were dealing with now was the DID Cartel-a huge and unbeatable narcotics business network. Mr. Holland was worried about how Leo could survive against the DID Cartel. This was the first time for Leo to face such fierce business competition. "Leo, how can you fight them?" Mr. Holland asked.

"I think Mr. Walter would have spread it instead of exposing that the alcohol contained methanol," said Leo who was thinking seriously. "There was a case where a mafia gang was smuggling illegal narcotics, but they wrapped it in a different package," Hans said. Leo looked at Hans with both eyebrows furrowed. Out of curiosity, Leo's sitting position spontaneously leaned towards Hans. "Has there ever been a case like that? And how did they end up?" Leo asked. "Their actions were not uncovered for many years, but one of the members turned out to be an undercover private detective team. The private detective team cooperated with police detectives and many parties-I honestly don't know them by heart. So their actions were uncovered after six years," Hans replied. "They needed to wait six years undercover to be exposed?" "No, two years. Six years is the time they did the business," Hans replied. Leo let out a long sigh.

"That bastard?" Leo quoted Zaves' nickname for Mr. Jonsen. "That's right. The bastard who's been scamming people and saying he'll distribute the best alcohol-when it's brand counterfeiting?" Leo couldn't help but laugh mockingly. Somehow hearing Zaves' words gave him goosebumps. "Oh my. You say that as if you're different from him.

'Damn, Mr. Jonsen is quite dangerous with his very strong instincts,' Leo thought with some annoyance. Mr. Jonsen, on the other hand, raised both eyebrows with a suspicious glance.

Instantly Mr. Jonsen's faint smile faded. "Oh, or rather, what you do before negotiating with anyone. If you mean, I negotiated with Mr. Pablo personally before the negotiation meeting with Mr. Walter like you did, I didn't do that." Mr. Jonsen immediately frowned sharply and felt offended at Leo's remark. He spontaneously straightened his sitting position and looked at him with a threatening gaze.

On the way, Leo deliberately contacted Bram via video call. Shortly after the video call was picked up by Bram, he watched as the camera panned to Mr. Jonsen who was gathered on the VIP sofa with three other men. Not just the three other men. But also the LCs who accompanied them. All the women on the couch, for some reason, looked like they were very drunk. "Wait, didn't Mr. Jonsen just arrive a few minutes ago?" Leo asked. Hans also took a quick glance at Leo's phone screen. Curiosity was evident on his face, wanting to know what had happened to Mr. Jonsen. "Don't you think it's strange that these women were already very drunk when Mr. Jonsen arrived just a few minutes ago?" Leo asked again. Hans nodded his head. "Yes, it should be. Did they use a very high dose of alcohol, or were the women given something before Mr. Jonsen arrived?" Leo looked very thoughtful after Hans said that. He suddenly felt very curious and wanted to know what was the reason. On the other h
