Arlan furrowed his eyebrows. "He's here?" "This is the picture that I took secretly." Khalon showed him the image which was taken from a phone. The picture shows a bald man with an angular face and a faded beard. He was wearing sunglasses and a black fedora hat. "It's not clear, but I think you're right. This is Leandro Manzano, but why is he here? How many men did he bring?" Arlan asked while scanning the crowd. "There are four people staying close to him and eight men scattered inside the…-

While Arlan was admiring Jennifer Lawrence's beauty, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. It was a notification from the mysterious app! Arlan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing it. He thought that the app was already gone. Because of the time difference between Maharlika and France, he only claimed his reward now. 'I shouldn't rely too much on the app. There might come a time that it will be gone forever.' He thought in his heart as he clicked the button. A black card quietly appeared…

Arlan informed his parents that he would be gone for a few days. When they asked him where he was going, he told them that he would be out of the country for a business trip. While they were talking, he noticed that his parents' complexion looked better than when they were still working in the fields. His father no longer looked sick and he was back to his usual energetic self. After his conversation with them, Thelma had already packed all their stuff. "Boss, everything is ready. We can leave any…

While Arlan was chatting with Clementine and Flynn, he suddenly received a call from Peter Bacari, the President of Louis Vuitton. "Excuse me. I have to take this call." Arlan smiled apologetically at the Eliott siblings. "Bonjour, Mr. Roa! How are you?" "I'm good. What about you?" "I'm doing great ! By the way, are you already here in Paris?" When Arlan heard this inquiry, he immediately slapped his forehead. He actually forgot about the auction in Paris! He already promised Peter that he…

It was worth slightly over 7 million dollars! Arlan was in a good mood as he imagined himself riding in the helicopter, but he suddenly remembered that he didn't know how to fly one. "Does Khalon know how to drive a helicopter?" He muttered to himself. Arlan took a quick hot bath and changed into a set of casual clothes. He then checked the time on his watch. 7:17 a.m. 'The Mazda CX-90 should be delivered soon, but will Marco and the others let the delivery personnel enter the territory?'…

Knock! Knock! Knock! Karl entered the room and said. "Boss, dinner is ready." Hearing this, Arlan stood up while smiling at Fabian. "We should eat first, Uncle Fabian. You can tell me your decision later." Fabian nodded his head as he stood up from his seat. Arlan walked with Fabian to the dining room, while Karl and Khalon silently followed behind them. It was only at this moment did Fabian realized the magnificence of the villa. From the shiny marbled floor, the elegant modern crystal…

The moment they entered the room, Fabian saw Arlan sitting behind the desk. There was also a tall and muscular man standing behind him. When Fabian saw this person, he felt a familiar feeling. 'It's him!' "Uncle Fabian, thank you for coming here." Arlan stood up and shook hands with Fabian. "Arlan, you look more impressive than I last saw you." Fabian was curious about everything, but he was a patient man. He knew that Arlan would tell him all the things he needed to know. "Haha! You jest,…

Fabian furrowed his eyebrows after his short conversation with Arlan. He felt that Arlan knew something about the bombing incident. "What does that guy know?" He muttered to himself while pondering deeply, but his brain only hurt the more he thought. "Sir, what should we say to the chief about the bodies we found on the rooftop?" A voice interrupted his thoughts. Fabian frowned upon hearing his words. This matter was the most confusing part of the incident. There were more than twenty dead…

Fabian leaned on the wall before he took a quick turn on the right path with his weapon pointed forward. There was no one in sight and all he could see were the overturned tables, chairs, and some shattered glass on the ground. Just as he was about to say that everything was clear, he suddenly noticed a head sticking out behind the overturned table at the left corner of the bar. "Don't move!
