"That's right. The investors agreed to build the Araizona home resort because the land was very strategic. The investors are eyeing a huge profit for them." Unbeknownst to Mr. Walter and the five men around him, Leo was walking with a tray in hand. Leo was disguised as a club waiter. With a very sharp and wary look at Mr. Walter, Leo approached the VVIP table. "Excuse me, these are your drink orders," Leo said in greeting. The gazes of Mr. Walter and the five foreign men on the VVIP sofa instantly shifted to Leo. They seemed to invite Leo to put down a few shots and two bottles of alcohol. "Are there any orders you'd like to add?" Leo asked. Mr. Walter immediately shook his head. "There's no need. You can leave now," Mr. Walter replied. Leo glanced at Hans who was on the top floor-the floor where the club's electrical connections were located. Hans had deliberately disguised himself as an electrician. Where he was, Hans gave a thumbs up as a code that everything was fine. Fi
"Are there any orders you'd like to add?" Leo asked. Mr. Walter immediately shook his head. "There's no need. You can leave now," Mr. Walter replied. Leo glanced at Hans who was on the top floor-the floor where the club's electrical connections were located. Hans had deliberately disguised himself as an electrician. Where he was, Hans gave a thumbs up as a code that everything was fine. Finally Leo immediately turned his gaze back towards Mr. Walter. Leo secretly said to Meila, the system. "The Big H Club's marketing promo information," Leo muttered. [REQUEST ACCEPTED!] [HERE IS THE PROMO INFORMATION THAT IS ALWAYS GIVEN TO VVIP GUESTS] Leo curved a satisfied smile. "Mr. Walter, don't you want to try taking The Big H Club's promo tonight?" Leo asked. Mr. Walter looked away from Leo. He seemed to find Leo's disguise as a waiter so strange. "I'm not buying any promos," said Mr. Walter. "Go away! I don't want to see a waiter here!" "Mr. Walter, tonight's promo i
"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 ask
'This kind of character... either they will do rash actions when pressed, or be swayed by the words of someone who belittles them because pride is very high,' Leo said in his heart. "That's right. After all, who's to say I'm better than you, Mr. Jonsen? I told you, I want you to trust me, that's all," Leo said. The look in Mr. Jonsen's eyes increasingly implied dislike for Leo. On the other hand, Mr. Jonsen took one step closer to Leo to watch him more intensely. "What exactly is your goal, Leo?" Mr. Jonsen repeated the same question. Leo raised both eyebrows without fading the smile of formality. He honestly knew Mr. Jonsen must be desperate to get rid of him. Therefore, he tried to remain calm. "Didn't I say I wanted to learn from you?" Leo asked. He then pretended to think. "Oh, there's something else. I want to be your partner. A business partner in one of the DID Cartel groups. I'm the owner of a big company, you've seen my negotiation skills, and you know how I've
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 drink while chatting casually, let me tell my maid to bring a special treat for you," said Leo. "No need for pleasantries Mr. Leo, just get to the point, what is your plan? If you are not serious about working with me I will resign right now," said Mr. Joshua threatening Leo. Mr. Joshua, who accidentally saw the LED screen board behind Leo that was still display
"It's obvious you're doing all this to get revenge for what I did," Mr. Walter said. "You think so?" asked Leo, raising both eyebrows and smiling sarcastically. "I'm glad you realize that. But objectively speaking, no one wants to cooperate with a character like you, Mr. Walter." Mr. Walter's jaw instantly hardened. He looked at Leo with a furious look in his eyes. "So you're starting a business rivalry with me?" asked Mr. Walter. "I didn't say that," Leo replied. "You're not going to say it outright. You should know how savage my character is in the business world." Leo gave a smile of calm formality. "I'm looking forward to what you're going to do, Mr. Walter." *** [NEW MISSION!] [Leo, follow Mr. Walter to The Big H Club tonight. Find out what he's doing] Leo was just about to close his eyes to rest. But the sound of the system made his eyes open again. Leo's feelings turned into annoyance. Tonight he wanted to rest, but this damn system gave him an impromptu mission!
"Afterwards, Mr. Holland will make an urgent call and send help to this apartment. But you must remember, you can use this painting only in case of urgency," Leo continued to warn Ghenna. "So, if the painting is not reversed, then the LED screen in your mansion will not be connected to this apartment, Mr. Leo?" asked Ghenna curiously. "Yes, you're right, the LED screen will only be connected to the mansion when the painting is flipped. But, if you forget to flip the painting, rest assured that this area is equipped with CCTV," Leo confirmed Ghenna's words. "Then, there's another secret room you need to know about, let me show you," Leo continued inviting Ghenna to see one of the secret rooms inside his private apartment. They walked towards the wardrobe room that contained some of Leo's clothes and women's clothes that Leo had bought for Ghenna to wear while living in the apartment. Leo stopped in front of one of the large wardrobes in the room. "Behind this closet is a se
"You have no proof that I cheated as you say," said Zaves, who looked at Leo very sharply. With a lopsided smile, Leo took out his cell phone and played the recording. Zaves' voice was the first thing heard in the room. "The public is so good at finding out the worst about people. Use any means so that no digital traces of my ugliness are spread. I have to get high votes for the mayoral election this time." "But, Mr. Zaves, just using that method is not enough. Like you said, the public is getting smarter. They may already know and find out the digital footprint of your bad case." "Are you stupid?" Then, a moment of silence. "In this world, we can't always stick to honesty. We have to play games, some kind of... manipulation. You can do that, right?" After that, the recording was stopped by Leo. Leo immediately pulled back his cell phone as he exhaled a long breath. Leo immediately curved a smile full of satisfaction when he realized Zaves' gaze was getting worried
"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
