"Alright then, I agree to Mr. Joshua joining your plan." Ghenna, who had strongly opposed Mr. Joshua's intervention in Leo's plan, finally agreed after repeated reassurances from Leo. Then, Leo invited everyone to sit at the meeting table to discuss the chronology of what happened to Ghenna. "Tell me the true chronology of what happened, Ghenna, until you were in that hotel room," Leo asked Ghenna to recount the incident."It actually started because I was having economic difficulties. My family had a lot of debts everywhere. As the first child, I felt that I had to take on the burden of my family's debts by working in several places..." Ghenna began to tell the story with a slightly trembling voice. "Until one day I met Mr. Bennard's men, was offered to become an artist and promised I would pay off all my family's debts," Ghenna began to recount the beginning of her story."Then did you accept the offer?" asked Leo in a gentle tone as if concerned about Ghenna's situation at the
Just as Leo had ordered yesterday, Bram had arranged a meeting between Leo and Mr. Sergio. This time the meeting was held at a VVIP lounge, The Premiere Lounge 72, a place where conglomerate people usually held meetings. Mr. Sergio, who had just arrived at the VVIP room, was immediately welcomed by Leo."Welcome, Mr. Sergio, introduce me Leo," said Leo welcoming Mr. Sergio while extending his right hand."Good evening, Mr. Leo," Mr. Sergio replied by welcoming Leo's hand."It's nice to meet a great man like you, Mr. Sergio," Leo said, trying to break the ice."Yes, I'm glad to meet you too," Mr. Sergio replied briefly and curtly. His tone did not match what he had just said. "Hahah, I am so honored that Mr. Sergio is willing to come to this meeting in the midst of your very busy schedule," Leo said in a joking tone typical of businessmen."Yes, indeed my schedule is very busy and that's why I came here not just to hear your pleasantries, just get to the point. What case should I hand
Afterwards Leo drove Ghenna to his private apartment for her to stay in while the case was pending. Leo also brought five of Mr. Holland's bodyguards to stand guard around the apartment. There were also three maids to take care of Ghenna's needs and help her stay in the apartment. "These are the maids who will be with you during your stay here," Leo began, introducing the maid now standing in front of him and Ghenna. "This is Alexa who is in charge of the apartment during your stay, you can tell Alexa or the others if you need anything," Leo continued as he pointed to the maid standing in the center and immediately smiled kindly at Ghenna.Then after finishing introducing the three maids, Leo told the maids to return to their respective duties. Meanwhile, Leo was now walking to give Ghenna directions regarding the apartment."Do you see the red button on the back of this vase, Ghenna? That button is a special emergency button that has been connected to my, Bram's, and Hans' cell pho
"Then Mr. Bennard will trap his artists into signing fake contracts and force his female artists to serve the men at Garand Ocean. If they refused, Mr. Bennard threatened to spread the scandalous videos of the artists. "Mr. Tory, on the other hand, will bring many customers to Grand Ocean as well as become a regular there," Leo explained Mr. Jonsen's connections with some of the men while occasionally pointing to the names on the LED screen. "How could anyone do such a heinous thing? I really didn't expect anyone to run a business by demeaning others like them," Hans said in a furious tone and clenched his hands as if holding back his emotions. "I feel like I want to immediately thwart their plans and destroy them," said Bram, who was also upset. "You're right, people like Mr. Jonsen must be destroyed immediately. However, I don't think it will be easy if we target Mr. Jonsen directly," said Leo. "Then who should we destroy first, Mr. Leo?" asked Hans curiously. "We should
In the middle of Leo's conversation with Mr. Holland, his father, Leo's cell phone rang and showed the name Hans. Leo picked it up immediately. "Hello? How is Hans, what's the news?" Leo said in response to Hans' phone call."Hello, Mr. Leo, I would like to give you a report on the results of the interrogation of the three female victims who were rescued from the club yesterday." Hans said. "The three of them did not provide any information, every time they were questioned by detectives, they always remained silent. Then, the special prison psychologist also stated that their mental state is still in severe shock and it will take several weeks or even months to recover," Hans continued, sounding regretful.Leo's facial expression immediately changed drastically. His body went limp and he leaned against the back of the sofa. However, Leo did not show it to Hans."I see. Then, was there anything else said by the detective?" asked Leo who covered his disappointment calmly."The police
"You're very good at finding that out, Bram. I believe you can easily do that," Leo replied trying to be convincing. "After that, what will you do. Leo?" "Then after finding out the chief prosecutor's secret, I will use it to threaten the chief prosecutor. That will be checkmate for Mr. Bennard," Leo said explaining his final plan to bring down Mr. Bennard. In the middle of Leo's conversation with Hans and Bram, Mr. Joshua suddenly came to Leo's mansion. Although he was surprised to learn of Mr. Joshua's arrival at his mansion, Leo still welcomed him in a friendly manner and a little pleasantries. "Wow, look who came to my mansion, welcome, Mr. Joshua, please sit down," said Leo who stood up to welcome Mr. Joshua. "I came here to ask about your plans, Mr. Leo," said Mr. Joshua, who went straight to the point of his purpose to Leo's mansion. "Don't be too serious Mr. Joshua, sit down first, you came here because you agreed to work with me, didn't you? It's worth having a
After the phone call with Mr. Jonsen was over, Leo immediately approached his father who was still sitting on the sofa with an occasional cup of coffee in front of him. Leo with an annoyed expression told Mr. Holland-his father-about his conversation with Mr. Jonsen earlier. "Huhh, why is it so hard to make Mr. Jonsen pressed and give me a lot of information. I've been baiting him throughout the phone call to get him to tell me more, but to no avail," Leo said with an annoyed look on his face. Mr. Holland, who saw this, smiled briefly at his son's behavior and said. "You have to be extra patient with Mr. Jonsen, Leo. He's not easy to trap. As a mobster who has escaped the law many times, it certainly makes him very experienced and careful in his actions," Mr. Holland said in a casual yet serious tone. "Yes, actually I've also heard that Mr. Jonsen always escapes punishment, so is that true, dad?" asked a curious Leo. "The news is true, Leo. Mr. Jonsen has been arrested for seve
By now, Leo, Bram and Hans were already in a hut next to the abandoned building on the outskirts of the city. The two people they had kidnapped were still unconscious and tied to a chair. Leo, who was impatient to interrogate the two men, asked Hans to wake them up by splashing water on their faces. Instantly the two men woke up from their stupor. Mr. Jonsen's personal assistant who first opened his eyes looked confused after seeing the rope wrapped around his body. Not only that, he became shocked after finding Leo standing in front of him crossing his arms over his chest. However, a moment later Mr. Jonsen's assistant laughed, as if laughing at Leo in front of him."It was you who kidnapped me, Mr. Leo. What is the meaning of your actions?" asked Mr. Jonsen's assistant."How does it feel to be tied up like that? You certainly didn't expect to be kidnapped like this, did you?" asked Leo while stretching his hand muscles."Let's not mince words, what do you really want, Mr. Leo?" a
"Reporting to the police is useless, they always side with the people in power, who have a lot of money and don't care about victims like me, Mr. Joshua," Ghenna replied, suppressing her words. Mr. Joshua was somewhat taken aback after hearing Ghenna's words. Moreover, the look in Ghenna's eyes that radiated fear also began to imply sharpness. "I don't know why you just so you know, I've also escaped several times, but those people managed to easily track my whereabouts. And when I came back I got even harsher treatment from them," Ghenna replied, almost in tears. "Whenever I fought back, they always threatened that my scandalous videos would be shared with the media. I was just afraid of hurting my parents if they found out and saw those videos..." "So, I could only pretend to drink the drink and quietly spit it out without the boss knowing," continued an emotional Ghenna and burst into tears. "I'm not sure the police would help you and refuse to cooperate. Many policemen
"I can't let Mr. Walter get the land," Leo muttered. After successfully finding where Mr. Walter was located, Leo immediately flicked the system screen. So that the shadow of the system screen disappeared instantly. Leo looked at Bram and Hans who looked confused. "Come on, I know where Mr. Walter is!" Leo said then. Despite looking clueless, Bram and Hans just walked after Leo. They slipped between the visitors on the dance floor. Despite looking clueless, Bram and Hans simply walked after Leo. They slipped in between the patrons of the dance floor. Leo walked very fast so that he could quickly come to the VVIP floor. In the middle of his steps, his pair of eyes accidentally looked at the bar maids passing by. Leo immediately thought of an idea. His steps stopped abruptly, making Bram and Hans stop their steps as well. "Bram, Hans, will you execute a plan for me?" Leo asked Bram and Hans. *** "This plan to build a culinary branch will certainly provide a large pr
"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. "Ah, I must dissuade Mr. Walter before he has t
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
With an expression that could no longer hide his nervousness, Zaves laughed sarcastically. Zaves looked even more irritated at Leo. "Ah, damn it. You suddenly came up to me and pointed that recording gun so you could corner me, just to ask about that bastard?" Zaves said in a grumbling tone. Leo suddenly frowned when he saw Zaves' reaction. "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. You're the same," Leo retorted, his tone implying irritation. Zaves immediately protested, "How can I be just like him? He killed many people with his fraudulent acts-" "Can't your fraudulent act of cheating voting data kill people? If you don't become a leader who makes wise policies, then it's th
'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. There was an arch of a smile that implied he was satisfied with being able to corner Leo. "I don't know what people like you usually do before negotiating with a third party?" Leo asked. 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. "I don't understand why you say that," Mr. Jonsen said. "I don't do things like that. Are you doubting my negotiation skills?" "Oh, of course not. The one who just underestimated me is you, Mr. Jonsen. You und
Mr. Walter was a little taken aback by Leo's words. But a few seconds later, he laughed awkwardly. "No way. How can you think he hates you?" asked Mr. Walter. Leo let out a small hiss and pretended to think even more. His index finger was now tapping his own temple. "I don't want to judge him badly either, Mr. Walter. But, when I spoke with Mr. Jonsen a few minutes ago, I felt that resentment. He didn't seem to accept my presence as a major investor," Leo retorted. Having said that, Leo lifted his face and straightened his gaze to match Mr. Walter's. While focusing his eyes on one point, he read the notification on the system screen. [WALTER ORLANDO] [FEELINGS: DISGUSTED (88%) ANNOYED (77%)] Leo secretly curved a lopsided smile reading Mr. Walter's current feeling prediction. "I know you might be annoyed with me because I might sound pretentious when I say this," Leo said, deliberately provoking Mr. Walter further. The look of astonishment on Mr. Walter's face inst
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
