Ricardo Rodriguez was surprised to see Luther Astana again so soon. After their previous encounter, he had expected that Luther would continue his revenge mission on his own. But here he was, standing right in his beer room, staring at him in unspoken words."Say what you want, Luther. We can't stay here forever."Silence had loomed between them for a while. When Luther entered, he had asked for everyone else to leave. The maid servants and the guards. The bar was empty now, and it was a private bar owned by Ricardo himself. There was nobody else apart from the two of them."What are you planning to do?" Luther asked rather compulsively. He was obviously forcing himself to be calm, but inside his mind was in war and chaos. "I know you are doing something. Tell me what it is.""My plans do not concern you. Do not worry, dear friend. Everything is in control and underway. Very soon, the results will reveal themselves.""What will you do to Adrian Blood?"Ricardo poured a bottle of Henne

"Chairman Rodriguez has called for a meeting of the inner circle. I wonder what he has to say."Associate Murray broke bread in his home with two other associates whom he had invited in addition to his special guest of honour, Martin Astana.One of the two associates was the first to suggest. "Maybe he wants to make a big announcement. Who knows? Chairman Rodriguez is a very smart man. Perhaps he has the answers to all our questions already, I mean about the person who unlocked the Salpinx."The others weighed his words, but Martin Astana was quick to dismiss it. "If that was the case, then I believe I would be aware by now. No. I think there is another reason."Associate Murray spoke next. "What if he is planning a conspiracy against you, Chairman Astana? What if Chairman Rodriguez wants to turn everyone against you because you didn't allow his bitch of a daughter to marry your son?"The remaining two associates considered Murray's words. "That is really true. Remember he caused such

Some hours earlier, a young boy was sitting comfortably in the convenience of a bar, enjoying the company of alcohol and naked women, a luxury well above his age. Still he kept a strong eye out, wary of the movements made around him. He still had a lot of money, he wondered what to do with it. Over there were men twice his age and three times his size, they were playing games. The kind of game he liked to play. The kind of game where you either win something or you lose something. The losers cursed and screamed in pathetic defeat, while the victors walked away with the scores of gamble."If I can win a few games, I will have double... Even triple of all this." He told himself.When he sat among them, they mocked him for his size."Hey child, is it not bed time? Mummy will be angry!" They all laughed in unison."Let's see how tough you will be, old man, when I take you back to your days of early beginnings."A few too many side laughs came. "I like this boy", someone said."Fine!" Th

Mrs Huddersfield was looking for ways to contact the rich people whose dignity Adrian Blood had blemished by sleeping with Lyana Rodriguez. The list was so long yet she knew just the important ones to take note of. Federico Rodriguez was Lyana's father. Of course, he will want revenge for this disrespect. Yet he was not the best option neither the most accessible option for Mrs Huddersfield. There was Luther Astana who was supposed to marry Lyana. He was the most insulted by this public display of affection between Lyana and Adrian. He would feel so disrespected and he would seek for revenge. The landlady knew that Luther would be so happy to know that Adrian had a younger sister, it would be the perfect scenery for his vengeance. Mrs Huddersfield did not care about whatever Luther would do to the girl, as long he rewarded her generously for this information. But Luther Astana was not a man to be found easily. He was luxurious and super extravagant, it was impossible for somebody li

Back to the present time. Uncle George was at his favourite spot in the new house, reading the letter that was meant for him. He had always known a day like this would eventually come. Now that it was here, he knew what he had to do.As soon as George heard footsteps, he placed the letter away. Helena came in, dressed as a princess. "I can see you are quite satisifed with your new clothes." George said. "I hope that means you have forgiven your brother."Helena shook her head. "Not until he tells me everything I want to know."George sighed. "You should know that Adrian is doing everything for your own sake. He wants to protect you."Helena gave a nod to that, she was not sure what to say. How could her brother protect her by leaving her in the dark? She had been waiting for a few more days, hoping he would show up here sooner. But he only kept delaying. What if he was only a liar when he told her on phone that he wanted to reveal everything to her? What if he has not shown up so far
