We can use this as a tool to destroy him. That's why I'm proposing to cooperate with Mr. Joshua who will definitely help us a lot," Leo continued to describe Mr. Bennard's mistakes and slightly mentioned about cooperating with Mr. Joshua. "But are you sure Mr. Joshua will be willing to help us in this case, Mr. Leo, as far as I know many people in the prosecutor's office find it easier to cooperate with people like Mr. Jonsen than to uncover crimes?" asked Bram who seemed to be unconvinced of Mr. Joshua." "You guys take it easy, according to the information I've gathered, Mr. Joshua is a typical prosecutor who is principled and places great importance on his reputation. Mr. Joshua is also very happy to handle interesting cases and will then get a lot of attention from the public when he wins them. "I'm sure this case will be interesting enough for Mr. Joshua to handle, because if he succeeds in solving this case Mr. Joshua's reputation will be very good in the eyes of the publ
Mr. Jonsen's question made Leo suddenly silent. Leo almost couldn't contain his surprise because Mr. Jonsen guessed right. Luckily, Leo tried to just stare at Mr. Jonsen through an offended gaze. During the few seconds Leo was silent, the eyes of the others began to change to show curiosity. They seemed to want to find out Leo's explanation. '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 sh
"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 increased the company's growth by leaps and bounds." Mr. Jonsen raised his face. There was no reply. But from the look in his eyes, there was an interest that radiated to Leo. Then gr
Leo frowned. He knew Mr. Jonsen seemed to realize there was something wrong. How could Mr. Jonsen have such sharp instincts to realize something was wrong? "I told you, ask Mr. Walter about-" "Not when you were negotiating with Mr. Walter, but before," Mr. Jonsen interrupted. "Did you do anything to Mr. Pablo Nerulda before the meeting with Mr. Walter?" Mr. Jonsen's question made Leo suddenly silent. Leo almost couldn't contain his surprise because Mr. Jonsen guessed right. Luckily, Leo tried to just stare at Mr. Jonsen through an offended gaze. During the few seconds Leo was silent, the eyes of the others began to change to show curiosity. They seemed to want to find out Leo's explanation. '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
"The amount of money is four million dollars," Hans said. "There's no way Mr. Jonathan would have gotten that amount of money if he didn't have anything to do with Mr. Walter." "Is my father hiding something?" Leo wondered suspiciously. "Is there something we should find out, Mr. Leo?" asked Hans. Leo turned his gaze to Hans. For a few seconds, he needed to think about what he should do. "How do I know what happened between Mr. Jonathan and Mr. Walter?" *** "I am very pleased and honored to be standing in front of all of you, potential investors, to present Grand Ocean Central. A restaurant that will provide additional resort facilities for VVIPs." Leo sat looking at Mr. Walter who was presenting the business plan of his new resort restaurant. His presence was completely unknown to Mr. Walter. Leo had registered as a potential investor for the Walt Group Company. Leo even deliberately took a seat in a row that was quite far from the stage. While listening to Mr. Walter's l
As soon as Leo made the turn, Jonsen strode down the very quiet hallway. The lights were rather dim. This was the way to the warehouse-like room and the evacuation route. "What are you doing exactly, Mr. Leo?" Leo's steps immediately stopped after Jonsen said that. He was surprised that Jonsen already knew he was following behind. Jonsen stopped walking. He turned around and smoked a cigarette, then exhaled the smoke with a sharp look. One hand was stuffed into his pants pocket, while his gesture seemed to challenge Leo. "I knew you'd follow me," Jonsen said with a grin. The cigarette smoke was exhaled again. Leo exhaled a rough breath, looking annoyed. From the way Jonsen said it, he had guessed that Jonsen was setting him up on purpose. "Did you do it on purpose?" asked Leo with a hint of sarcasm. Jonsen flinched as he flattened the cigarette in the air with his finger. For a few seconds Jonsen looked at Leo sharply. then gradually a grinning smile appeared on hi
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
"In this world there is such a thing as a strategy. What I'm doing is my strategy to join you guys," Leo said. "Let me guess, besides me, there must be a lot of people trying to join the DID Cartel, right?" Mr. Jonsen immediately frowned for a few seconds. At a glance, the look on his face changed to one of astonishment. "Yes, and some of those who managed to join ended up becoming traitors," Mr. Jonsen said sarcastically. After Mr. Jonsen said that, Leo deliberately put on an offended expression. "Gosh, Mr. Jonsen, I'm so offended. Did you just think that I would become a traitor?" Leo asked in a very dramatized tone. Mr. Jonsen grinned. "What guarantee is there that you won't betray us? You're from the Holland Family-a family that is enemies with the Walter Family." "Then?" asked Leo as he raised both eyebrows. He was increasingly deliberately pretending to give a look of dislike. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that to someone who has contributed. Y
"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
