Raymond stuffed his smartphone into his coat pocket after receiving a text from Thyme allowing him to take some day off because Verdict had taken care of everything. When he wanted a distraction, the people around him did not even give him a chance. Telling him to rest—something he would accept it gladly before but now he hated it. Precisely at times like this, what he needed was something that could make him busy, can be distracted him even if only for a moment. Raymond gave a deep sigh, closed his locker and walked out from the room. His working hours at this place was also over. There was no way he could ask Edward to increase his working hours, because there were already a few new employees hired by Edward, making that option impossible for him. 

He asked Mike who would normally agree if he offered to go home together

    Raymond sucked deeply on his cigarette, to meet his lung cavity, then blew smoke into the air, which immediately integrated with the cold air of Cirillo City. From where he was now—in the balcony where he used to smoke, he could see mountains of snow that have piled up covering the roofs of people's houses and several public facilities, while office buildings are completely undisturbed by snow because they had an automatic snow removal feature that he did not know how it worked. He only heard it from Rachel yesterday, when he was forced to invite Rachel and her friends to eat at a restaurant after he left Martha. Unexpectedly, Rachel was the type who was very interested in architecture and technology, so that the woman explained it enthusiastically, in a simple way but still difficult for him to understand.Well, what people sa

    All the way home after lunch, he ignored Hazel who repeatedly tried to talk to him, put earphones in his ears and played the song collection on his smartphone to make Hazel give up. It worked, because after that Hazel stopped talking to him. He continued to ignore Hazel when he got to the apartment, deciding to shut himself in his room. He just went out of his room to eat or when going to the bathroom.He did not know whether this action was right or not. All he knew, this was the only choice he could make for now. Instead, focus on finding out about Simon Clive. The information he got was very little. Martha only gave him a little information about the mafia group that was currently targeting Amanda. There was no way he could ask Martha for more clue. He tried to ask Lucas. But apparently, the man did not

    'Get him out from my room now, Brother Ray.'Verdict gave Edward a sharp glare, who stood beside Raymond as soon as he complied with Verdict's request to bring Edward into Verdict's room. He wanted to tap the head of the man who was sitting on the bed with an IV tube attached to his left hand while his right hand was still bandaged.'It's okay, Raymond. I'm going outside first. Tell me when you're done,' Edward tapped Raymond on the shoulder, looking calm in the face of Verdict's impertinence.'Sorry, Edward. He always acts like this.'Edward shook his head, t

    CLOSE FOR ROUTINE TREATMENT DAYA holographic cross with the font Helvetica welcomed them again. Behind the bar, the gate that served as the entrance to the national park of Cirillo city, which he only found out about today had it not been for Edward who took him here, was also closed, as were the fifteen places they had visited. His lips pursed, holding back indignation, cursing whoever was the one who created that damn routine daycare. After his plan to spend time on the ice skating rink failed because they didn't make a reservation before coming to the rink (and he forgot if he had to), Edward took the initiative to take him to various places, which might be still open during the day. The results are clear, impossible.He looked at the

    Verdict continued to put on a strange face as soon as he was released from the hospital the next day. He looked at Raymond as if there was something he needed to explain in as much detail as possible. He dodged, trying to avoid Verdict's gaze which was getting more and more piercing, making him feel even more uncomfortable about it. The fact that Verdict's recovery process was too fast was enough to surprise the doctor who handled him, because even if he used the latest technology and medical knowledge, Verdict should have been in a coma for up to two months, then continued with the rehabilitation process that Verdict had to undergo until his body recovered to normal. He, who knew Verdict's monster recovery ability from the start, was not at all surprised to see Verdict fully recovered. Without a trace.But not the doctor who h

    As soon as they arrived in front of the Umberbridge residence, Verdict immediately got out of the car and ran over to the girl when he saw Amanda, who was waiting for him at the front entrance with Thyme who seemed anxious awaiting his arrival,He did not give Amanda a chance at all, who was shocked because she was hugged tightly by a man who was now officially become her boyfriend.'I miss you.'That was the first word that rushed across the Verdict's lips after looking at the girl whose face looked blushing violently after hearing that. The man smiled, slightly lowered his head so he could see his girlfriend's face, laughing softly.

    Raymond walked out of the bathroom in the guest room that Thyme's maid had tidied up a few hours ago, along with the hot steam that had come out with him, spreading across the room. The tiredness he felt earlier disappeared instantly after he had soaked in hot water for a long time. Dressed in a white bathrobe, she walked over to her wardrobe while drying her wet hair, using a towel hanging from her shoulders. He found Hazel sleeping on the king-size bed, looking exhausted, making her stop her from drying her hair with a hairdryer and returning to using the towel. He did not want to bother Hazel. He looked at Hazel, who was wearing the clothes he lent her after the woman's clothes were damaged by the fight. Fortunately, at the beginning he worked here, he left some clothes in this place, in case he suddenly had to stay at this place so he did not have to bother thinking about changing clothes. Moreover, he finally was able to see Hazel wearing his clothes that

    'The wound is not bad. No serious internal injuries. She only has a small amount of internal bleeding, which will heal within a few days. I will prescribe pain relievers and anti-drowsiness antibiotics, according to your request' said the doctor, who finished examining Hazel's condition, putting his doctor's equipment back in the black tote bag placed beside the nightstand. 'Thanks,' Hazel said, yawning again. Her eyes were half-closed when she said it. 'Can I sleep again?' 'Of course,' said the man, who was at the door of the room, then disappeared along with Thyme. Leave the three of them in the room. 'What are you doing here?' Hazel gave Edward a sneering look, seeming to dislike the man standing next to Raymond. It seemed the woman's sleepiness had completely disappeared instantly. 'Want to show off?' 'How do you know?' Edward seemed relaxed in response to Hazel's sarcasm, who now folded

    Thyme Umberbridge looked at their reflection in the windshield, smoothing out their appearance. Today, they managed to gather their resolve to invite Priska Cirillo—a woman they had liked since their first year at high school. A strong woman who succeeded in diverting their world, which had only been concerned with learning and training to prepare themself to become the leader of the Umberbridge mafia organization, replacing their father's position. From Priska, they then met Amanda Chloe—their classmate who was known as a genius pianist (and later he found out that she was the younger sister of Arnold Walter, a hitman from the Walter family whom he has admired for a long time until he followed in his footsteps by honing his skills in shot accurately), and Gerald Tan—Amanda Chloe's childhood friend, who has a housewife-like personality and was now with them in the car after they asked him to accompany them. They were too nervous, not

    The sound of the five children running down the hall made Raymond subconsciously give a small smile as he looked at them. The joy of the children seemed to provide a much more pleasant atmosphere amid the crowd of hospital patients, mostly elders. Few patients were the same age as him, and it did not take them to stay long, either. Unlike them. The children laughed loudly before finally falling silent when a female nurse scolded them for making a fuss. Their happy faces faded, followed by their languid heads. He, who had just finished the hospital administration process, only shook his head slowly, approaching the children and also the female nurse who was still busy scolding them with repeated words.'Let them go,' Raymond's left hand moved to caress one of the children's head with long straight hair, dark brown, which was flo

    Verdict placed a bouquet of flowers on the tombstone of his adoptive brother, closed his eyes while forming a cross in front of his chest. Beside him, Amanda stood there, staring at the tombstone with the name Arnold Walter engraved. There were no special words engraved on the tombstone other than the name and date of death. His hand looked for Amanda's and held it tightly, calming his girlfriend, who was starting to cry.'Brother. I don't know whether you can hear me or not, but I want to introduce the most special person in my life right now,' he said, glancing at Amanda, who was wiping her tears while sobbing. 'This is Amanda Chloe, your younger sister and my girlfriend. I know what you would say if you were still alive. You definitely won't like it if you know about this. If you are still alive and able to meet Amanda, you

    He spent more than two weeks lying in a very uncomfortable hospital bed, staring at the scenery outside the window. He heard the screeching sound of birds perched on one of the windows of his room as if trying to greet him with their innocent faces. He continued to watch the birds until they left the window, following their friends. Next to his bed, he found Hazel, who was slicing an apple for him even though he had refused many times as he had lost his appetite. As soon as she finished peeling, the woman tucked the apple into his mouth. Reluctantly, he devoured the apple, chewed it in silence. 'I respect your decision, Raymond.' He winced in confusion at Hazel's sudden words. Chewing on his apple, he turned his gaze from the window towards the woman who was now giving him a second bite. 'Huh? What are you talking about?' &nbs

    It seemed like it was not time for him to die yet. That was the only conclusion he could think of as soon as he opened his eyes, staring at the completely white ceiling of the room. The sunlight that entered the room through the window of his room made his eyes dazzled. There were many life support devices attached to his body, making it difficult for him to move freely. His breathing was a little short due to the mechanical ventilator to help him breathe. His eyes were fixed on a woman dressed as a nurse who was checking his IV line. 'Mr Cooper? Have you regained consciousness?' the woman turned her body, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. His eyes were only fixed on the uniform that was so tightly wrapped around the woman's body, exposing the woman's curves. He did not answer the woman's question, closed his eyes again.

    Raymond looked at Thyme and Verdict, who were still where they were. Thyme remained calm, although he caught a hint of anxiety on their cute face. Meanwhile, Verdict has lost control of his emotions after seeing one of his members killed by Simon. He was struggling to free himself from Simon's men while continuing to curse Simon. But Simon seemed not to care about Verdict's anger. His other hand, which was not holding the revolver, clenched his hands into fists. He was trying to remain calm against the man, who was still waiting for his answer. "What's the catch?" He remained calm. "If you join me, everyone in this place will be released." Raymond narrowed his eyes, doubting Simon's words, which did not sound convincing in his ears. Simon absolutely did not mention the conditions if he refused the offer. His attention turned to Edward. "I wondered what kind of joke I would have as soon as I came here. Rather, I found something beyond my expectations, eh?" Edward looked up, lo

    'Ed, I'm fine. Seriously. So can you stop worrying about me?'Edward ignored his question, still keeping a close eye on his entire body which succeeded in making him feel awkward to death.'This is my fault. I shouldn't have let you fight that person alone,' Edward now pulled his body away from Raymond, took out his hologram tablet, then stared at the screen of his hologram tablet while muttering to himself.'Could I ask you something?''Shoot.''About Mike ... can you t

    As soon as the gaseous effect disappeared, Raymond gave the cue to go inside, running while avoiding the gunfire of Simon's men who were manning the passageways they were currently in, along with Edward and Lucas. Meanwhile, the rest have scattered, following his directions. Each of the people he appointed as leader had already brought the tools Hazel had given them as a preventive measure and instructed them to search for the children in the basement while he, Lucas, and Edward moved toward the second floor.'Raymond?' Edward whispered nearby, looking anxious, as soon as they reached the second floor, hiding behind a wall refilling their depleted ammunition.'What?' Raymond peeked outside, to find Simon's men moving their way. He came ou

    Raymond turned off the engine, watching Thyme and Verdict, who had entered the building from afar. Thyme asked him to park his car a little bit far from Simon Clive's headquarters, which was now filled with luxury-clad people who flocked into the building, greeted by several people dressed in black with a terrifying aura around them. He recognized some of those who were attacking him when he was with Edward. Over and over he tapped his fingers, frustrated at not knowing Thyme's plans.'Do you want to have some?' Hazel who was sitting behind him handed him the snack bar that the woman had been consuming. 'I made it by myself. Low in calories, but enough to power you up.''No. I don't—' Raymond gave up his refusal as soon as he saw Hazel gl
