"You have no proof that I cheated as you say," said Zaves, who looked at Leo very sharply. With a lopsided smile, Leo took out his cell phone and played the recording. Zaves' voice was the first thing heard in the room. "The public is so good at finding out the worst about people. Use any means so that no digital traces of my ugliness are spread. I have to get high votes for the mayoral election this time." "But, Mr. Zaves, just using that method is not enough. Like you said, the public is getting smarter. They may already know and find out the digital footprint of your bad case." "Are you stupid?" Then, a moment of silence. "In this world, we can't always stick to honesty. We have to play games, some kind of... manipulation. You can do that, right?" After that, the recording was stopped by Leo. Leo immediately pulled back his cell phone as he exhaled a long breath. Leo immediately curved a smile full of satisfaction when he realized Zaves' gaze was getting worried
"I'm sure this case will be interesting enough for Mr. Joshua to handle, because if he succeeds in solving this case Mr. Joshua's reputation will be very good in the eyes of the public," Leo explained trying to convince Hans and Bram. "Then what method or strategy will we use to destroy Mr. Bennard?" asked Bram. "I have several plans, first we have to expose the case of fake contracts of female artists in Mr. Bennard's agency by spreading the recording of the conversation in the VVIP room that is already in our hands," said Leo. "Ah you're right Mr. Leo, with the recording it can definitely prevent more victims of Mr. Bennard's artists," said Hans who indirectly agreed to Leo's plan just now. "Next is with the confession of the woman we secured earlier. We need to find her a good lawyer to represent her," Leo said. "Yes, we can't let her testify without a lawyer, she might be threatened by Mr. Bennard," Bram said and Leo nodded in response. "Once he feels threatened, Mr.
We can use this as a tool to destroy him. That's why I'm proposing to cooperate with Mr. Joshua who will definitely help us a lot," Leo continued to describe Mr. Bennard's mistakes and slightly mentioned about cooperating with Mr. Joshua. "But are you sure Mr. Joshua will be willing to help us in this case, Mr. Leo, as far as I know many people in the prosecutor's office find it easier to cooperate with people like Mr. Jonsen than to uncover crimes?" asked Bram who seemed to be unconvinced of Mr. Joshua." "You guys take it easy, according to the information I've gathered, Mr. Joshua is a typical prosecutor who is principled and places great importance on his reputation. Mr. Joshua is also very happy to handle interesting cases and will then get a lot of attention from the public when he wins them. "I'm sure this case will be interesting enough for Mr. Joshua to handle, because if he succeeds in solving this case Mr. Joshua's reputation will be very good in the eyes of the publ
Mr. Jonsen's question made Leo suddenly silent. Leo almost couldn't contain his surprise because Mr. Jonsen guessed right. Luckily, Leo tried to just stare at Mr. Jonsen through an offended gaze. During the few seconds Leo was silent, the eyes of the others began to change to show curiosity. They seemed to want to find out Leo's explanation. 'Damn, Mr. Jonsen is quite dangerous with his very strong instincts,' Leo thought with some annoyance. Mr. Jonsen, on the other hand, raised both eyebrows with a suspicious glance. There was an arch of a smile that implied he was satisfied with being able to corner Leo. "I don't know what people like you usually do before negotiating with a third party?" Leo asked. Instantly Mr. Jonsen's faint smile faded. "Oh, or rather, what you do before negotiating with anyone. If you mean, I negotiated with Mr. Pablo personally before the negotiation meeting with Mr. Walter like you did, I didn't do that." Mr. Jonsen immediately frowned sh
"That's right. After all, who's to say I'm better than you, Mr. Jonsen? I told you, I want you to trust me, that's all," Leo said. The look in Mr. Jonsen's eyes increasingly implied dislike for Leo. On the other hand, Mr. Jonsen took one step closer to Leo to watch him more intensely. "What exactly is your goal, Leo?" Mr. Jonsen repeated the same question. Leo raised both eyebrows without fading the smile of formality. He honestly knew Mr. Jonsen must be desperate to get rid of him. Therefore, he tried to remain calm. "Didn't I say I wanted to learn from you?" Leo asked. He then pretended to think. "Oh, there's something else. I want to be your partner. A business partner in one of the DID Cartel groups. I'm the owner of a big company, you've seen my negotiation skills, and you know how I've increased the company's growth by leaps and bounds." Mr. Jonsen raised his face. There was no reply. But from the look in his eyes, there was an interest that radiated to Leo. Then gr
Leo frowned. He knew Mr. Jonsen seemed to realize there was something wrong. How could Mr. Jonsen have such sharp instincts to realize something was wrong? "I told you, ask Mr. Walter about-" "Not when you were negotiating with Mr. Walter, but before," Mr. Jonsen interrupted. "Did you do anything to Mr. Pablo Nerulda before the meeting with Mr. Walter?" Mr. Jonsen's question made Leo suddenly silent. Leo almost couldn't contain his surprise because Mr. Jonsen guessed right. Luckily, Leo tried to just stare at Mr. Jonsen through an offended gaze. During the few seconds Leo was silent, the eyes of the others began to change to show curiosity. They seemed to want to find out Leo's explanation. 'Damn, Mr. Jonsen is quite dangerous with his very strong instincts,' Leo thought with some annoyance. Mr. Jonsen, on the other hand, raised both eyebrows with a suspicious glance. There was an arch of a smile that implied he was satisfied with being able to corner Leo. "I don't
"The amount of money is four million dollars," Hans said. "There's no way Mr. Jonathan would have gotten that amount of money if he didn't have anything to do with Mr. Walter." "Is my father hiding something?" Leo wondered suspiciously. "Is there something we should find out, Mr. Leo?" asked Hans. Leo turned his gaze to Hans. For a few seconds, he needed to think about what he should do. "How do I know what happened between Mr. Jonathan and Mr. Walter?" *** "I am very pleased and honored to be standing in front of all of you, potential investors, to present Grand Ocean Central. A restaurant that will provide additional resort facilities for VVIPs." Leo sat looking at Mr. Walter who was presenting the business plan of his new resort restaurant. His presence was completely unknown to Mr. Walter. Leo had registered as a potential investor for the Walt Group Company. Leo even deliberately took a seat in a row that was quite far from the stage. While listening to Mr. Walter's l
As soon as Leo made the turn, Jonsen strode down the very quiet hallway. The lights were rather dim. This was the way to the warehouse-like room and the evacuation route. "What are you doing exactly, Mr. Leo?" Leo's steps immediately stopped after Jonsen said that. He was surprised that Jonsen already knew he was following behind. Jonsen stopped walking. He turned around and smoked a cigarette, then exhaled the smoke with a sharp look. One hand was stuffed into his pants pocket, while his gesture seemed to challenge Leo. "I knew you'd follow me," Jonsen said with a grin. The cigarette smoke was exhaled again. Leo exhaled a rough breath, looking annoyed. From the way Jonsen said it, he had guessed that Jonsen was setting him up on purpose. "Did you do it on purpose?" asked Leo with a hint of sarcasm. Jonsen flinched as he flattened the cigarette in the air with his finger. For a few seconds Jonsen looked at Leo sharply. then gradually a grinning smile appeared on hi
