"Give me a glass of beer, Miss," the man in front of her ordered.The bartender girl nodded her head after hearing the request from the man. With a slow movement, she managed to grab the drink that had to be served to the customer.However, something unexpected happened to her, and she couldn't avoid it. The girl had to experience it again."Here you go, sir. Your order is ready," she said, handing the glass of beer to the old man in front of her.She then placed the tray, which had a dark brown color, on the bar table. Slowly, she began to lower the glass from the tray.Clang! Perhaps she wasn't focused, or something else happened. Suddenly, the glass of beer could not be held and fell.Reflexively, the old man in front of her stood up with an unfriendly look on his face."Goddammit! What have you done, you stupid girl! Not only did you take forever to make my drink, now you've spilled it all over my expensive jacket. Are your eyes not functioning properly that you can't even hold a
"Alright, thanks. I'll send the contract agreement to your company email today. Hopefully, our companies can work together and achieve success, sir. Please feel free to check out some of the products we've produced."Aside from expanding their general business, one branch of the Frank family's company also ventured into a new business by producing beverages and antique items with fantastic values in the international market.It seemed like the Frank family didn't want to miss the opportunity to progress and thrive, as they continued to add innovations to their company's products.Whenever they saw a chance and opportunity through their business lenses, the founders of the Frank family's company would immediately jump in and work on the new business until it yielded the best results.It couldn't be denied that thanks to all the efforts and methods implemented by the Frank family, their company is now known throughout various regions.Slowly but surely, the position of the Frank family'
William now stared straight at the woman, who held a little baby boy in her arms, sleeping soundly. For some reason, there was a burning and fiery feeling inside William when he looked at the little boy's face, which resembled his father, Thomas.However, despite his feelings, William certainly hid all his frustration. He still welcomed the presence of his former sister-in-law and former nephew as a friend.Seeing the condition of the child and mother really made William feel sorry. He didn't have the heart to chase them away in an inhumane way, as the idea of committing such a crime crossed his mind."Thank goodness you have realized all the foolishness you did. I warned you back then. But, you didn't want to listen to me. So, you certainly can't blame me for what happened to you now, former sister-in-law," William looked at his former sister-in-law with a flat expression.Occasionally, William seemed to roll his eyes to avoid making direct eye contact with them. There was just an un
Now, a man in his sharp outfit began to enter the elevator that was exclusively for people with high positions in the Frank family company.Everyone seemed to bow their heads to show their respect to the man who still lingered in their memories as the former CEO of the Frank family company.But now, the company leader had been replaced by William.The man's face looked expressionless, without a hint of emotion. "Good morning, Mr. Sandy! It feels like it's been a while since I've seen you in the Frank family company headquarters."One of the female secretaries, who had once been impressed by the appearance of the former CEO, spoke up.Perhaps that sense of admiration still existed until this very moment. Unfortunately, Sandy never once looked back at her.Although sad and painful for never receiving any reciprocation for her feelings, the female secretary didn't care about that bitter reality.She still loved and admired the man, not knowing if he already had someone in his heart or no
William slowly opened his eyes as he realized there was something weighing down on his body at that moment. It didn't feel like the usual pillow he used, this time it felt much heavier. In addition, William quickly opened his eyes as he realized that something on his stomach was moving freely."Yawn.. James? Is that you?"William's still unclear vision couldn't quickly recognize who was on top of his stomach.The figure just remained silent but could vaguely be caught by William's sight, how a perfect smile appeared on the face of the person pinning him down."You naughty boy! Is it that hard to answer the question your father asked? What are you doing here, hm? Your father is still sleeping. Didn't you knock on the door first? Where is the nanny who takes care of you? Why are you here?"James, who was being asked like that, just remained silent. He then lay his body right on top of William, hugging his foster father tightly."Can I ask you something?"James, who had grown into a hand
A sound is heard hitting something.A throw of something soft made many eyes gaze in the direction of the source of the sound. Sharp gazes so terrifying, fierce behavior from a group of cold-blooded humans. Who caused trouble everywhere and tortured the helpless."Are you so afraid of death? Whether I kill you or not is my business, your chance is only to pray and wait." A man with a sturdy and muscular body wearing all black clothes stared sharply at someone. Snide and very mysterious.The man just stayed silent with a scared feeling, he was confused about what to do now. He didn't want to die in vain in their grasp. "Sir, I beg you, please don't kill me, please spare this life." The man pleaded desperately, hoping there was hope for him to be released.Will they really let the man go just like that? Even though they knew he had no fault. The massacre they did, the random killings were so frightening."Keep asking me here, I will listen to you speak, the time and place are up to us."
Terror in his own home couldn't bother William, he stared intensely at Matthew."The culprit's trail must be there, we have to search for it carefully."William explained that the culprit must have left some clues, especially since the murder and kidnapping attack happened recently.Matthew nodded, he picked up his phone and dialed someone's number. Talking to someone on the phone made William wait.After the call, Matthew approached William. "I have asked someone to find the main suspect, do we need to search again?"William smirked, "Of course we do, let's go."They both went with their subordinates to visit the places they had already targeted. Meeting many people produced a clue about the whereabouts of one of the perpetrators who had shaken the city of Melbourne.Soon they both went to the place that people pointed out to the perpetrator. Just as William and Matthew arrived, an old man suddenly emerged from the hut they found."You!" The old man was surprised to see William and M
Matthew took William all the way to his house. Right after William got out, he delivered a message."Take care of yourself, call me if someone takes James away." William smiled as he heard it, nodded a little, and let Matthew go from his sight.William took a long breath as he watched Matthew slowly leave him. Then he chose to go inside his house.James greeted William warmly, making him instantly forget about the anger and problems on his shoulders."Dad, you're back, I want to tell you something. I want to buy some painting tools.""I'll go with you to buy it later, okay? Now, I'm tired and need some rest."William cut James off immediately, gently patting his shoulder and slowly leaving him.James could only stare at William's retreating back. He took a long breath, William was always busy with his work and didn't care about what James had been doing lately."Okay, tomorrow I'll remind dad to come with me." James ran to his room and continued his new hobby.William fell onto his be
"Bianca? Are you willing to help me? I need you right now." The 32-year-old man pondered something, and he needed Bianca to execute his plan.Bianca furrowed her brow, not yet understanding her ex-husband's words."What do you want me to do?"William whispered to Bianca, discussing something with her.After hearing William's plan, the woman was slightly surprised and hesitant. It involved her past. Initially, Bianca wanted to refuse her ex-husband's request. However, she thought about her past mistakes again. Regardless, she had to make amends.***That night, Bianca looked stunning in a black dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her face wasn't pale anymore after being carefully made up. She walked towards William, who was waiting for her outside her residence."William? How do I look?" Bianca asked about her appearance tonight. The 32-year-old man fell silent for a moment as he gazed at his ex-wife. It seemed like he was slightly captivated by Bianca, as if he was drifting i
"Bianca?" The 32-year-old man was taken aback when he saw the woman who bumped into him was his ex-wife. He took a step back slowly as they came face to face again. William wiped his tears and asked, "What are you doing here?"Meanwhile, Bianca appeared with a faint smile. Her face looked pale and uninspired at that moment."I have a doctor's appointment today. That's why I'm here," the woman coughed and covered her mouth with a tissue."Bianca? What's wrong with you?" His face turned anxious after seeing a spurt of blood coming out of her mouth when she coughed. William immediately approached his ex-wife.Bianca shook her head, "I'm fine, William." Even her voice sounded weak. It seemed like Bianca was hiding something at the moment.William then guided his ex-wife to sit for a moment, taking a deep breath. He tried to forget the painful past caused by Bianca's behaviours.Bianca looked down for a moment, then sadly gazed at her ex-husband and embraced him tightly."I'm sorry, Willia
William was desperate, there was nothing he could do to save his foster child's life. He had even sacrificed his own dignity by approaching Thomas to ask him to donate his bone marrow. But his efforts were in vain."James, just open your eyes for a little while."William hung his head in despair, deeply regretting not knowing that James was suffering from such a serious illness. The 32-year-old man wiped away his tears and walked away from James in his hospital ward. He was going to talk to the doctor about something.As he walked, he accidentally bumped into a woman with long hair."Sorry. Didn't mean to." The multitude of problems was making his mind race. He only apologized and then walked away."William?"
"I ain't gonna let you go just like that!" William twisted Thomas's hand harder, the bastard screamed in pain."Willing to donate or just die?!" The 32-year-old man asked with emphasis."Let me go!" Unable to bear the pain, Thomas struggled and managed to break free from his brother-in-law's grip. The bastard walked over to grab the pistol that was lying on the floor earlier, and shot it right at William.A bullet immediately lodged in his arm, rendering William powerless. Blood began to flow from his wound, and he began to hold his arm tightly to prevent the bleeding."Stupid, who told you to come here?" Meanwhile, the bastard looked pleased to see his helpless enemy.Damn it! The bastard had wounded him, and he couldn't move freely anymore."You son of a bitch, Thomas!" William yelled, as his enemy was about to fire a bullet at him. He quickly moved to block the gun in the bastard's hand by kicking it hard until the pistol fell again.Weak William tried to take back his own gun befo
William's insistent on meeting Thomas right now, he walked back carefully so as not to be noticed by anyone. However, Matthew didn't follow him. The middle-aged man just approached and said, "There are so many guards and other Death Hole members here, sir. I suggest I go out to divert their attention. How about that?""But, isn't it dangerous for you later?" William hesitated with his trusted companion's plan."Trust me. I'll be careful." The middle-aged man tried to convince his master. William was silent as they hid behind a wall while the guards walked back and forth near them. But in the end, William agreed with Matthew's plan.The middle-aged man immediately walked out and away from his master, carrying a jug from a shelf."Who's there?!"Not long after, the sound of a broken object was heard from outside. A sound that surprised the guards and other Death Hole members, they immediately ran out to check the situation."Good, this is my time to meet Thomas." Seeing that there were
James went into a critical after being shot in several parts of his body. Not letting that scumbag oppress him, William came with Matthew to Thomas' residence by sneaking in through the back door."Sir? Are you sure about this?" Matthew asked, looking unsure about his boss's plan. William nodded slowly, confidently, the 32-year-old man walked through every room of Thomas' large residence.Then, they hid behind the wall as other members of the Death Hole passed by."We should just go home, Sir. There are still many ways to save the young master," the middle-aged man urged his boss to go back."No! Even if it was Thomas who did it, I will still meet him!"
Haven't had a chance to answer his question, James had already passed out. He was immediately rushed to the hospital for medical treatment for his injuries."You have to hang in there, James!" With panic in his voice, William hoped for James' safety. After all, he loved his adopted son very much. Meanwhile, Hendry was somewhat skeptical of what James did for William's safety. The old man looked at the unfortunate teenager lying in a coma with a sad expression and said in his deep voice, "There, there, William. You don't have to be sad about this. He did what he had to do. Remember, he owes you his life!"For the old man, it was only right that James sacrificed himself for his father figure.William, who was crying, wiped away his tears and became angry at his enemy's actions."This is outrageous. You won't get away with this. I swear I'll come back to haunt you, Thomas!" For God's sake, the 32-year-old man had sworn to become a terrifying menace to Thomas in the future. He wouldn't let
Some bullets suddenly hit his body again. Now, those little things had lodged in several parts of the poor teenager's body. Thomas shot his own son more than once, he's truly ruthless! He fell to the ground, covered in blood. William, who was panicked, rushed to his side. "James, open your eyes!" The 32-year-old man tried to wake James up from unconsciousness. Meanwhile, after shooting his own son, Thomas fled with his capos, and some of their members were already caught by the police. They surrendered to protect their boss. Thomas, on the other hand, managed to escape the police chase who wanted to capture him. "James! Wake up, son!" His effort to wake up his son was in vain. "Dad?" With a soft voice, James called out. He was lying helpless, with blood pouring out from the gunshot wounds on his chest. His dull eyes looked at his father, and he smiled even though he was in pain. "Why did you do this, James?" William cried as he saw his injured son. He deeply regretted what had ha
After waitin' fer a long time, James finally came back home with a panicked look on his face. He walked up to the three of 'em in the dinin' room."What's up, James? Why were ya runnin'?" William walked up to him and asked. He immediately guided his son to sit next to him. James grabbed a glass of mineral water and gulped it down quickly. Then, he shook his head slowly, lookin' around the mansion he lived in."Dad? Did someone bother ya?" James asked right away, confusin' William. The 32-year-old man squinted his eyes, "What do ya mean, James?"Once again, the teenager regulated his breath first."Answer my question, Dad!" He yelled, makin' the old man who was previously enjoyin' his piece of wagyu steak angry. Hearin' it, Hendry stood up from his seat and said, "Watch your attitude! You rude kid!" He didn't wanna lose to James, Hendry shouted while bangin' the dining table until the objects on it shook.James fell silent, but William stopped him right away. "Enough, Dad! Don't say tha
