2023-06-14 14:39:27Vincent closed his office tightly. He didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. His attention was only on the start-up competition. Not even Alvin was allowed in without urgent business from the President Director, Mr Eduardo.
That afternoon, Milea came to Vincent's office. She came in a hurry. In fact, she seemed to have barged into Vincent's room without permission. Suddenly, she was stopped by several security guards, right in front of Vincent's office.
What's going on? Why isn't Milea allowed in? She asked in surprise. Because Alvin ordered the security guards to tighten the security around the Vice President's room.
"Move aside!" ordered Milea rather fiercely at the two security guards standing in front of Vincent's office door.
"Sorry, Miss! Young Master Vincent does not allow you to enter his office," the security guards respectfully forbade in front of Milea.
"What did you say?" Milea was furious. She was rattling her waist in a fit of rage. She kept forcing her way into Vincent's room.
"I'm sorry, Miss," the two officers said in turn.
"How outrageous of him! He's so loud when he's the Vice President. How annoying!" Milea was upset. She cursed at Vincent in front of his office door.
Hearing the commotion Milea was causing outside, Vincent took action. He opened the door and told her to come in.
"Come in, you're making so much noise, Milea!" Vincent ordered. Milea waltzed freely into her future fiancé's room.
"Why am I not allowed in your office?" Milea asked curiously. "What have you been doing all this time?"
"I was working," Vincent replied.
Vincent sat back down at his desk, continuing his work that had been delayed just now.
Milea approached Vincent and looked at his work. "Did you enter the competition? Why, don't you already have everything from my Dad?" she asked knowingly.
"Joining the competition ... was my dream. I've been preparing for it for a long time. So, I have to make it happen soon," Vincent explained. Milea nodded, even though she didn't understand what Vincent was saying at all.
"If I may know, what application are you developing?" Milea asked further.
"It's a secret. I won't tell you. So, just shut up," Vincent said.
Milea had interrupted his concentration. Now, she was grumbling in front of him. Because she didn't get a satisfactory answer from Vincent.
"What a cheapskate!" muttered Vincent.
Vincent can't work if Milea keeps babbling in front of him. In fact, he must immediately prepare a presentation in front of the committee and judges at the competition. Rather than hamper his creativity, he felt he had to send Milea back to his office. Otherwise, Milea was very noisy.
"Milea!" called Vincent. Milea turned her head.
"You'd better get out of my room right now," Vincent gently shooed her away.
"What's wrong with that? I just want to know what you're doing," Milea reasoned. "I'm not allowed to know," she muttered irritably.
Vincent got up from his seat. He grabbed Milea's hand and led her away from his office. Milea felt offended that Vincent dared to kick her out of his office.
"Get out! After I finish my work, we'll talk later," Vincent ordered.
Milea was really angry this time. She went straight to her room while slamming the door. "Who does he think he is? He dares to ignore me. Watch out, Vin!"
***
A few days later, Vincent was ready to present to the jury. He followed the entire series of selection events in a digital start-up programme. In the selection process, the jury will assess whether a digital application programme presented by each participant is feasible or not.
After presenting his work, Vincent passed and successfully participated in the next stage. That is the development of digital applications. Not only Vincent, Edward also passed the selection and they will compete in the next round.
"Vin, congratulations to you!" said Edward. He approached Vincent after presenting his programme concept.
Edward extended his hand and hoped Vincent would shake it. Unfortunately, Vincent did not want to shake his hand. How arrogant of this new rich guy, Edward thought to himself.
"Yes, congratulations to you too," Vincent replied simply. He had to admit, Edward was good. The proof was that his presentation was quite good and he passed the selection too. He would be the toughest rival for him later.
Edward smiled meaningfully as he came face to face with Vincent. He had something on his mind. Vincent's application was indeed superior to Edward's. It fuelled Edward's desire to cheat behind Vincent's back.
"See you in the next round, Vin! I'm really looking forward to your excellent programme," Edward said as he walked away.
Vincent laughed rather sarcastically at that. He knew the type of cunning man Edward was. The man who was his rival was very dangerous. He had to be wary of him from now on. Because that rotten man could turn the corner and even push him to the brink of destruction.
"Vin!" called one of the organisers. Vincent rushed over to him.
Edward looked back again, noticing that the organiser and Vincent were talking. It looked very suspicious.
"Congratulations, one of our honorary judges really liked your programme idea," a forty-something woman told Vincent.
"Fight to the end! The jury is watching your work," she said again. "Good luck!"
"Thank you," Vincent said. He was honoured to hear that. Hearing her words, he became more energised.
It was different with Edward. He felt jealous that Vincent was ahead of him. Apart from Vincent's conversation with one of the organisers at the competition.
Edward knew that Vincent was always better than him. That's why he thought about how to get Vincent out of the competition.
While thinking of a plan to eliminate Vincent from the competition, Milea's name flashed in Edward's mind. This is the time, Edward will use Milea to make Vincent give up on the competition, he thought.
Secretly, Edward followed Vincent to his company. Unintentionally, he saw Milea loitering in front of his office building. What a coincidence, Edward said.
"Excuse me, Miss Milea," Edward greeted Milea kindly. "I am Edward. Some time ago, I was still an employee here," he said while introducing himself.
"Yes! What's wrong?" asked Milea. She didn't really know the former employee in her company named Edward.
Edward smiled sweetly in front of Milea. There is an evil intention in his heart.

"I didn't mean it like that, Mr Eduardo," Vincent tried to explain."So you deliberately destroyed your work? Didn't you prepare a backup?" Mr Eduardo was astonished."I couldn't, sir.

She had guessed that Vincent would do the same thing as her. Protest loudly. Because the ignorant man must have been annoyed by the sudden news."I don't think it's a rush.

Surprises at the Lamborghini Parade
A few days later...It was a busy morning at the airport. An exclusive jet waited on the tarmac, preparing to take Valeria back to Italy. As a Mafia Lady, she was now not just a guest on a visit to Japan, but someone highly respected by the Ryuujin-kai, the organization that had once viewed her as a threat after Lorenzo.Near the steps of the airplane, Vincent stood, looking at Valeria with a look that was hard to interpret. “Why didn't that woman cry at all after Lorenzo died?”Milea elbowed Vincent's arm, “Don't look at her like that! She'll feel bad for you.”Vincent walked over to Valeria and shook her hand. “Are you sure you don't want to stay longer?” he asked.Valeria only smiled slightly after shaking hands with Vincent. “I have to go back. I have a lot of things to take care of there.”Vincent nodded slowly. He understood. Valeria was not a woman who could stay in one place for too long. Especially now, she would be leading her own clan and organization.Just before Valeria c
Save Ryuga!
Without warning, Vincent darted forward. He swatted away the gun in Lorenzo's hand quickly before the man could shoot him, then slammed into his face with a solid punch. Lorenzo was pushed back, but he quickly steadied himself and countered with a kick to Vincent's ribs.The impact was so strong that Vincent staggered, but he didn't care. Vincent advanced again, fighting with a burning fury. His hands and feet moved quickly, every punch and kick aimed at Lorenzo's vital points. However, Lorenzo was not an easy opponent. The Italian mafia man dodged deftly, retaliating with a knife slash that nearly caught Vincent in the neck.A fierce battle erupted in the middle of the dark harbour dock. The rain fell harder and harder, drenching the two men who were fighting it out there. In the distance, the sound of waves crashing against the concrete of the dock, while lights glow on the rippling black water.Then, there was a mechanical noise in the distance. Vincent looked away for a moment, an
The Decisive Ending
“VIN!” Milea screamed at the top of her lungs. She thought it was Vincent who was shot. It turned out to be...“Kazuto.” Vin quickly approached Kazuto who was now covered in blood. “Valeria, what are you doing?”“He deserved to die,” Valeria said in a cold, heartless tone.“You?” Vincent was stunned. “You're just like Lorenzo.”“Don't compare me to my ex-husband! I'm clearly more powerful and ruthless than him. So, don't mess with me!” Valeria sternly warned Vincent.A flash of fire a few minutes ago erupted from the muzzle of the gun controlled by Valeria. The sound of the shot echoed, breaking the eerie silence that had surrounded the place. Kazuto staggered. His eyes widened in disbelief as his chest felt hot and wet with fresh blood flowing from his bullet wound.“Kazuto, hold on!”“Vin ....”Vincent saw Kazuto's left hand trembling. He was trying to grab onto something he could not reach. Within seconds, his body lost its balance, plummeting to the ground with a low thud. The flo
The Last Battle
Ryuga and Lorenzo slammed into each other brutally. They were still duelling, seemingly more fiercely in the cramped submarine. There were no distractions, no way out of there. It was really just the two of them, locked in a deadly duel.“Don't fight me little boy!” shouted Lorenzo.“What, you said I was a little boy?” protested Ryuga. “I could kill you if I wanted to. You know that I'm one of the Ryuujin-kai, right?”Lorenzo laughed in response to Ryuga's statement. “Fool!” He lashed out with a flurry of punches at Ryuga.Ryuga parried Lorenzo's attack and retaliated with a knife thrust to the chest. Lorenzo dodged at the last second, but the tip of the knife still managed to tear into the side of his shoulder. Fresh blood flowed from Lorenzo's body.“You're always hunting others, Lorenzo,” Ryuga hissed. “But this time, you'll be our quarry. Give up your game and say goodbye.”Lorenzo grimaced, but he smiled anyway, maintaining his sly image. “Don't act as if you're better than me, R
Deadly Hard Choices
“This place will be destroyed.”“Milea, run!” Vincent shouted.Windows shattered, flames soared from the hallways, and walls began to crumble from the explosion. Kazuto's team had launched a full assault.Lorenzo smiled wryly. “This seems to be the decider.”Instantly, Lorenzo activated a small device in his hand and the entire base's security system began to react.“You'll all be locked in here,” Lorenzo said as he backed away slowly. “I have other business.”Milea looked angrily at Lorenzo. “You want to run away now?! After all this?!”Lorenzo just chuckled. “I'm not a fool, Milea. I know when to back off.”With one quick step, Lorenzo disappeared amidst the smoke and rubble.Meanwhile, Kazuto remained focused on Vincent, despite the growing chaos. “Don't think this is over, Vin!”Vincent didn't answer. He was already moving faster.With his remaining strength, Vincent kicked Kazuto's knee, making him wobble slightly. Milea took the opportunity to pull Vincent to his feet.“We have
Past Recorded Video
Ryuga appeared from the shadows, attacking with terrifying speed. Milea raised her arm to parry, but Ryuga's strength was too great. His punch slammed into Milea's chest, sending her flying backwards into an electrical panel.Blue lightning flashed through Milea's body, pain spreading throughout her nervous system. But she couldn't stop now. She had to fight back if she didn't want to be controlled by her cousin, Ryuga.Milea's hand moved to the gun kept at her waist, firing two bullets at Ryuga. Unfortunately, the shots missed. She had expected this to happen. So, she had been vigilant beforehand in dealing with this unexpected situation.DOR! DOR!Ryuga swatted her away with his knife, metal sparks clashing in the air. “You won't be able to conquer me, Milea.”“Really? Have you ever been in a karate or ninja club?” Milea joked.“Listen! I have no intention of killing you, Milea,” Ryuga assured her.Milea looked at him sharply. “Oh yeah? But it looks like you almost did. You've lost
Kazuto's Revenge for Vincent
Lorenzo smiled slightly as he watched the digital map of the world change. Kazuto's line of defence was crumbling, and the global network was now within his grasp.Lorenzo looked at Vincent who stood silently beside him. “You finally understand, Vin. This world isn't about who's right and wrong. It's about who's in control.”Vincent didn't answer at all. His hands were still on the console, his gaze blank. He had just destroyed the defence system of his old friend, Kazuto.But, inside Vincent, something was still not right. It was like there was another piece of memory that had yet to be revealed. His memories of the past with Kazuto were still ringing in his mind.Then, suddenly, a red notification flashed on his screen.[Override Detected. Protocol 0 Activated.]Lorenzo squinted. “What is this?” he asked in shock as he looked at his screen.Before Lorenzo could react, the system began to change. The world map returned to blue. And the voice they heard next made Vincent's heart race.
Cyber War Between Vincent, Kazuto, and Lorenzo
Milea looked at him in shock. “You... should be dead! Didn't Vin shoot you?”Lorenzo just chuckled. “The bulletproof vest saved me. Remember! Kazuto is still watching us. He thinks you killed me.”“I see.” Now, Milea understood. They had all planned it while she was Kazuto's hostage.A few minutes later, Vincent, Lorenzo, Valeria, Nakamura, and Ryuga had gathered in the living room of the Nakamura residence. Meanwhile, Milea was safely in her room. Her uncle had reserved a special room for her.“I don't want Milea to get involved again,” Nakamura said. “Can we do it?”“Of course, Mr Nakamura. I don't want it to happen again either. But, Kazuto already knows everything about my wife. Right now, he must be hunting Milea,” Vincent replied.“Isn't Milea tough enough to be in this team?” Valeria interjected. “I've heard a lot about her, Vin.”Vincent only smiled briefly in response. “She is. A tough woman who I love very much.”“At least you recognise the greatness of your own wife, Vin.”
Don't Choose, Milea!
“Lorenzo?” Milea widened her eyes in surprise at Lorenzo's arrival.“What are you doing here?” asked Lorenzo flatly. “Where's Vin and Ryuga?”“They're still in the warehouse,” Milea said under her breath.“I see.” Lorenzo understood. That's why he waited for the right time to appear before Milea.The harbour that night was so quiet, only the sound of the waves crashing and the night breeze hitting Milea's frightened face on the run. Her breathing was ragged, her body filled with adrenaline as she tried to avoid the pursuit of Kazuto's men.Milea didn't expect to meet Lorenzo there. Just as she was about to move, a gunshot suddenly rang out, a bullet almost hitting her shoulder. She gasped, her body lurching backwards.However, before Milea could fall, a strong hand pulled her to the side, bringing her body behind a metal container. Milea gasped for air, her eyes widening at the sight of Lorenzo before her.“You?” she whispered in shock.“Shut up! There are snipers around,” Lorenzo sai
