Adrian found the house where the party had taken place. He checked every room, every corner. He screamed Helena's name. He called for George too. There was no response. There was nobody in the building. For a place where a party was supposed to have taken place only a few minutes ago, it looked as empty and as silent as a graveyard.

"Where is my sister?" He asked the system.

The system chimed. "If you are summoning your reward for past missions, then you will have to declare that to me, CEO Blood."

"Yes I am. Tell me where she is."

A map appeared before his eyes and Helena's location glistened in red. He followed eagerly only to find that he was standing in the centre of the road. Over there were two people walking in his direction.

"Uncle! Helena!!" When he got to them, he saw that they were both okay. Although in Helena's eyes, there were traces of weakness.

"What happened?" He asked, helping his sister back to the mansion.

"I found her lying in the middle of the road." George said

    The door was wide open. It was the deepest creaks of the basement. Dark, motionless... empty. Or not so empty.As the lights came on, one by one, from the foot of the door to the last ends of the dark, an isolated figure raised a swollen eye to receive his visitor. This was his first visitor in days. Weeks even. Ever since Ricardo Rodriguez locked him in this godforsaken place, that bastard had only come to see him once. And that was just the exact day he was kidnapped.On that day, Ricardo had threatened to skin him alive if he did not tell him everything he knew. Who was the new chairman of the Waters Corporation? Why did he want to meet Lyana Rodriguez? What did he want to tell her?Hans Zimmer had only spat on Ricardo's face, earning an enormous thrashing for it. Ricardo's boys thought he was being stubborn. They thought they could break him, they promised to. Yet he did not need to be stubborn. There was nothing he had to tell that bastard. No information. At least not yet.Ever

    As the chairman tilted his head to confirm that there was nobody there with them, he was ready to spill the secret. Adrian Blood leaned to those shadows, and he was not sighted even for a moment. Yet the chairman decided to speak in whispers."Hey, system. I need to use my vital points. Enhanced hearing!" Adrian Blood chose at once, and the system quickly obeyed. The whispers became loud in his ears, and he heard every single word clearly."Your mother was not the only one who cheated." Federico told his son the truth. He needed not to explain in higher terms, no did he needed to narrate the entire history before the understanding could reach Ricardo's mind.Many years ago, young Federico Rodriguez had had to marry Evelyn for the annexation of her family's wealth. At that time, the Rodriguez family had only less than a tenth of their current wealth. With Evelyn's family company Holdings, the Rodriguez company would skyrocket into the skies. The marriage was quick and blessed by both f

    Following the faint memories in his head, Adrian Blood found the paths that led downstairs. The way was unfamiliar, and the system helped him very little. Then he was about to give up when he heard their voices, father and son. After that came their footsteps, edging towards his direction from the right side.Adrian Blood quickly lodged himself away from their path. He leaned against the wall as Federico Rodriguez and Ricardo passed slowly, almost in silence now. That was until Ricardo broke the silence again. "So you are not angry at me?" He asked his father, who was in front. The chairman walked slowly and calmly, even though by the gait of his advance, one could tell how much of a hurry he actually was. He wanted to meet this Hans Zimmer as soon as possible. He had a lot of questions that he needed to ask him. He did not expect that Ricardo would be the one to burden him with questions along the way. Yet he still found the need to give him an answer."No, Ricardo. You are not the

    When Ricardo Rodriguez and Federico Rodriguez were ironing out that issue, Adrian Blood was busy kissing their sister and daughter in all the right places, yet he was privy to everything they discussed. Every word they said, every statement they made."CEO BLOOD, THE RECORDING WILL NOT CONTINUE ONCE THE CHAIRMAN LEAVES THE ROOM WITH HIS SON..." The system informed Adrian as soon as Federico and Ricardo walked towards the door and were ready to leave the room.Adrian did not feel a loss at that point. He had been able to get a little from their little conversation. Now he knew that Ricardo Rodriguez was the one who captured Hans Zimmer after all. He also knew where the poor man was being held now, he knew where to look for him.If Hans Zimmer was abducted by Ricardo Rodriguez, did that mean that Amanda Wallers was also in that basement? Adrian needed to find out. He needed to follow the chairman and his son secretly, he needed to see the basement for himself. But he was stuck with Lya

    "You are wrong, father. I did not take Hans Zimmer just to gain your honour." Ricardo said, cutting the chairman off his inferences and conclusions. "I did not kidnap him to gain your recognition."The chairman stared back into his son's eyes. "Then why?" He asked with his low voice, hard and thick.Ricardo attempted to say something, but then he held his tongue and remained silent. He could not say the truth. "I can't." He muttered.Where was he going to start from. How he grew so jealous of his sister that he decided to murder her? How he realized that he was no match for Lyana's genius so he attempted to kill her not once, not twice and not even thrice? He just could not do it.Meanwhile, Federico's suspicions only grew deeper with his reluctance. Maybe Adrian Blood was right after all. Ricardo had devilish plans towards his own father. Why else would he keep it a secret? Why else would he be unable to tell him what was on his mind? Why else would the question be so difficult to an

    Chairman Rodriguez returned to his seat with the walking gait of a general in the military. He took his seat calmly and watched as Ricardo entered slowly and closed the door."What is this about, Father?"The chairman, instead of saying an answer to him, pointed to the empty seat in front of him. Ricardo sighed, still full of fury as he approached the chair and dropped on it. Federico Rodriguez leaned forward, placing his hands on the table between them."There are some questions I have to ask you, son." He started slowly but surely.Ricardo quickly spoke back. "There are some questions I have for you too, father. And I would like to go first."The chairman did not have the time to respond as his son continued."Is it true that you let mother die because you were busy having sex with that woman?""That woman is your stepmother." Federico Rodriguez corrected him at once. He was well sad at the fact that his children were now aware of what he thought was his secret, but he would not acc
