"You must want to be released, Robert. Because you have no choice but to protect your brother." That's what Aarav said when he tried to incite Robert.What Aarav told about Robert's brother was not a lie. Aarav had accidentally met Robert's younger brother - and he didn't even know that Robert had a brother. Moreover, the condition of Robert's younger brother at the time of their meeting was really chaotic."Your brother... is being chased by loan sharks," Aarav said. "Has he been living alone lately?"Robert gritted his teeth in annoyance at Aarav's revelation. One hand was spontaneously clenched into a fist. Seeing Robert's reaction, Aarav had another guess about Robert's younger brother."That brat..." Robert muttered, but it could still be heard in Aarav's ears. "He should be living just fine with his aunt and uncle. Why is he throwing tantrums?"Aarav's brows furrowed. He was right. Ever since meeting Robert's younger brother, Aarav somehow had a hunch that it was impossible for

After hearing what Peter said, Aarav and Marcolin suddenly felt interested and curious. Aarav and Marcolin immediately approached Peter with curious eyes. So did Robert. Knowing that Peter was showing concern through his eyes, Robert's anger had subsided, unlike before.Aarav took one of the chairs near Peter. Then Aarav placed the chair next to Peter before finally seating himself there."What kind of narcotics organization?" asked Aarav, watching Peter intensely while placing his hands interlocked on his lap.Peter didn't want to say anything after getting Aarav's question. The look in his eyes implied hesitation as if considering whether to say or not.As long as Peter was silent and did not want to say anything, Aarav raised his head. Aarav looked at Marcolin and Robert in turn. The two men standing beside Aarav were both confused and suspected that something was going on.After that, Aarav's gaze shifted back to Peter. Aarav knew that the worry Peter was feeling was because somet

"Your uncle and aunt tortured your brother, Robert. That means she probably escaped a long time ago. And that's why they were able to incite your brother so easily because they had such a strong lure."That was what Aarav concluded after he, Robert, and Marcolin gathered in the living room. Robert had just cleaned up and had changed his appearance. As a result, Robert was now sitting with Aarav and Marcolin."What kind of mafia organization gives a lure to get members?" asked Robert as he sat with his back against the sofa.Robert immediately took a glass of hot tea that the maid-woman had prepared. While Aarav and Marcolin were still watching Robert."Is the mafia organization you joined not like that?" Aarav threw a question back.Robert shook his head. "No, it's not. The mafia organization I belong to doesn't look for members that way.""So, do you know which mafia organization uses the method Peter said?"While eating the cookies and occasionally looking at the snacks, Robert repl

Aarav really didn't think that his bad feeling about Ezraf would come true. Upon arriving at the room that was used as a meeting place, Aarav did not expect to get a welcome from the guards who lined up in front of him. They all pointed their weapons at Aarav. Not a single one of them gave him a friendly expression.Aarav smiled wryly. His gaze shifted to Ezraf who was standing next to a stout man. A stranger he had never seen before."I didn't expect that this was your plan to bring me down, Ezraf," said Aarav who was still raising his hands low.Ezraf gave a grin full of satisfaction. It was as if the sight of Aarav, Benzala, and Marcolin trapped in the midst of the bodyguards was the most exciting thing."I thought you were pretty smart, Aarav. But you turned out to be very stupid," Ezraf said later. There was no guilt on his face as he swore at Aarav."How could you not realize that I just wanted to set you up?" Ezraf said once more. His hands were folded in front of his chest."

Aarav's eyes slowly opened as his head began to feel dizzy. The light of the room greeted his vision as it tried to adapt to the light. Aarav let out a small groan, looking down as he closed his eyes tightly again.Aarav could not see anything for a split second. But in the midst of dizziness and unconsciousness, Aarav was able to hear the laughter of several men who were quite loud. That's what finally made Aarav force his head to rise.Gradually, Aarav's eyes could see the figures of a group of men sitting not far from him. At first it was faint, then it became clearer than before."Hey, this little mouse is awake!" One of the men cheered as he realized Aarav was awake.At that time Aarav was still unable to make a sound. Amidst the silence, Aarav tried to take in the situation and digest who was in front of him now."Oh my. We need to welcome this great little rat after successfully messing with the inside of our organization!" Then another man cheered as he lifted the jug in his h
