Marcel lived his life as usual, as a son-in-law, a maid, and also an occasional punching bag for his irritated brothers-in-law.He didn’t mind at all, in fact, sometimes he even enjoyed the theatrics whenever Ronnie and the others played pranks on him.“How long has it been since you’ve eaten leftovers?” asked Ciko when he saw Marcel had the courage to drink openly in the kitchen with them.“Probably starting today,” Marcel replied as he held up his cup of warm lemon tea.“And you’ll be eating the new menu?” asked Ronnie for confirmation.“I think so,” Marcel replied frankly. “After I wash all your clothes.”Ciko shared a look with Ronnie.“Marcel, I need another dress!” said Shirley. “Don’t ruin it, because I won’t forgive you.”Marcel nodded without saying a word.“What’s wrong with your husband?” asked Ciko in surprise. “It’s no fun at all if he complies.”“You’re weird, Bro.” Alvon commented. “If Marcel resists, you’ll beat him up, too.”Ciko grinned.“I was hoping for that, but i
Marcel was silent for a long time after Herman expressed his astonishment at the decision to invite a scientist who was no longer even able to work in the lab."I think the important thing is that I dare to try first, Dad." Marcel explained."Dare? You mean dare to lose?" Herman emphasised. "Can you be sure that the research will pay off?""Everything is worth trying, Dad. We'll never know if we don't try," Marcel replied in a manner that remained polite and respectful."You may have made a breakthrough, but I still don't want to be at a disadvantage." Herman emphasised."I know, Dad. That's why I'm trying to find a sponsor to continue this research," Marcel nodded. "I don't want to harm you again at all, but rather to be able to repay you for what you've spent in the past."Herman looked at Marcel, a son-in-law he had never expected to see.However, the stupid couple and the insane scientist they had hired had made him suffer a huge loss and inevitably accepted Marcel as a means of c
“Just come in, don’t be shy!”“Is your husband home?”“Of course he is, he lives here.”Marcel was mopping the kitchen floor when he heard Shirley’s voice with her male friend. If it weren’t for his own limitations, he would have divorced his wife.“Marcel, make us a drink!” Shirley ordered when she realised Marcel’s presence.“I’ve washed all the cups,” Marcel replied. “You can make your own, want tea? Coffee? We have everything.”Shirley’s male friend laughed slightly when he heard Marcel’s words.“You are ... don’t embarrass me in front of my friends,” Shirley said with offence.“You should be embarrassed,” Marcel snapped. “You’re married, but you go around with your male friends like this.”Shirley looked at Marcel even more fiercely.“I’m starting to get a little crazy now,” she said as she girded her loins. “What is your status here? My husband, who says?”Marcel looked back at Shirley.“So I’m not your husband?” he said coldly. “Okay, then don’t ask me again. Just do everything
“No more of this!” said Ronnie as he looked at Vando and Shirley in turn.Marcel simply walked past them, knowing that Ronnie was acting to get his attention.“You’re so weird, Ron!” protested Shirley.“Shut up, don’t just bring in your male friend again at will.” Ronnie warned. “You too, Vando. Don’t put my sister’s household in trouble ....”“Are you well, Ron?” asked Vando with the same sense of wonder.“Already, already, you have to realise your position for now.” Ronnie emphasised.Marcel, who arrived in the kitchen, immediately made tea for himself. Usually he didn’t dare because his torment could be so painful whenever Ciko found out.However, now Marcel didn’t care. He had a lot of money in the account, he could use it if needed at any time.“Marcel, we can try patenting some formulas secretly to get some extra capital.” Venya suggested as she looked at Marcel who thrust some money into her hand. “I’ve already taken care of it with my friend, you don’t mind right?”“What are y
“Well, there’s nothing of value in this room.” Shirley clapped her hands together with a look of disgust. “It’s also the maid’s room and I have a husband who sleeps in this room ....”The woman pulled her arms aside as she thought about what other parts to explore.“This is good,” Shirley muttered as she opened the desk drawers one by one, shuddering when she found several pairs of clean socks in the cupboard.Almost thirty minutes passed, and Shirley found nothing in the maid’s room. Nonetheless she kept uncovering the bed sheets, shuffling through the piles of dirty clothes, and finally from Shirley’s fingers found a small clear bottle at the bottom of the basket.“What is this?” asked Shirley in her heart as she looked at the tiny little bottle. “Is this Marcel’s?”Whatever it was, Shirley quickly left the maid’s room and went to meet her brother in the living room.“Sis, look what I found!” Shirley exclaimed as she passed Ciko. “I found this in the maid’s room, I’m sure it’s Marce
Marcel accepted the clear bottle and looked at it.“So I have to keep consuming regularly,” Marcel commented.“Of course you do, because you’re still a human being who needs food to survive.”Marcel nodded in understanding and asked, “Are we able to distribute this product to the general public-but don’t let my wife’s family know.”Venya raised her thumb.“You can, my acquaintance will take care of it. For the time being, we’ll market the product online, but my mobile phone is broken-so we’ll have to rely on him completely.”“But he can be trusted, right?” asked Marcel curiously.“He can, I assure you.”“Then I’ll buy a mobile phone for us to use for this business,” said Marcel. “I’ll leave the lab to you, please take care of it as best you can. I trust you.”Venya nodded vigorously. “I won’t break your trust.”Hearing Venya’s words, Marcel breathed a sigh of relief.Next, all he had to do was show Shirley’s family that he was still trying hard to continue his parents’ research and ha
Marcel couldn’t understand why unknown people would show up out of the blue and claim to know him.“It must be because our products are getting recognized!” Venya said excitedly. “I wouldn’t be surprised if someone treats you special one day!”Marcel didn’t respond, as he was tidying up the weeds growing in front of the house and remembered what Venya had said a while ago.“Sir, can I talk to you one-on-one about your product?”A black car pulled up, and the driver got out to approach Marcel.Before Marcel could answer, the driver took Marcel into his car and drove to the place called headquarters.“People will misunderstand me if I suddenly leave like this,” Marcel complained to himself.However, Marcel didn’t feel like taking any chances against these people.“Who knows if this is a kidnapping,” Marcel thought again, which is why he was forced to stay quiet and calmly read the next situation.“I’m sorry, Sir. If I suddenly appear and take you away,” Aldi said as he looked back to wh
Marcel reflexively pushed Ronnie away from him.“Why are you touching me?” said Marcel, feeling both uncomfortable and humiliated.Ronnie swore harshly.“What are you hiding?” Ronnie scolded with a suspicious look on his face.“I’m not hiding anything,” argued Marcel.“What is it, brother?” asked Shirley curiously.“I have something in my hand,” Ronnie replied confidently. “Your useless husband must have robbed ....”“Watch what you say, Ron?” interrupted Marcel, who was beginning to lose his temper. They had been stepping on his pride like a doormat every day, and now they were accusing him of stealing.That was a huge insult to Marcel.“So what’s that? Here!” pointed Ronnie darkly. “Here I said!”Marcel stood still in his place.“Marcel, did you hear what Ronnie said?” scolded Shirley as she tugged on Marcel’s hand like an officer finding a small bandit. “Be honest with us, what are you hiding?”“I’m ....”Before Marcel could answer, Ronnie had already acted by grabbing the collared
Diko supports Ivan, whose stamina is completely drained after his fight with Lokan.“Mr. Marcel... how is it?” Diko asked while guiding Ivan who was stumbling along. “Also Mrs. Venya who delivered the tubes earlier...”“Safe,” answered Ivan quietly. “Our injured members…?”“It’s still being handled,” said Diko.Ivan nodded in relief, the two of them continued walking towards the crowded room.“We have to help them,” said Ivan as his eyes stared at the unconscious bodies of his members. “Where are the others?”“We are doing it in stages,” said Diko. “They’re all still alive, don’t worry...”Diko’s words were cut short when he and Ivan were staggered by a hard kick on their shoulders.When Diko turned around, Lokan had just landed smoothly on the ground. He grinned, clearly visible from his half-torn mask—he had the exact same face as Ivan.“He ....”“Impossible,” muttered Ivan with a pale face. “I used all my strength earlier...”“You traitors, repent!” said Lokan as he spread several
Moments before ….Diko, who was under pressure, was forced to step back for a moment.“Just give up, leave this lab before we destroy it!”“This lab will forever belong to the Delvino family.”Ivan and his partner moved closer to Diko’s right and left to protect each other.“Where’s Suni?” asked Diko quietly.“Still in the car,” answered Ivan.“He followed Mr Marcelino who saved Mrs Venya,” added another colleague, making Diko stunned.“Wretched!” he thought to himself.The situation in the new lab was starting to get more and more out of control. People fought each other using wood, stone and even iron.“Don’t use firearms!” Ronnie was busy screaming in the middle of the field, as if he were a warlord targeting his prey. “I don’t want any corpses! It could be a hassle with the government!”Aldi employees who didn’t know anything had been running for their lives earlier, helped by several team members who had started to arrive.“Boss, the situation is starting to corner us!” reported
Marcel was now riding in the car that would take him to where the Delvino family was, Aldi had warned him that caution was very important while dealing with the Delvino family.Unbeknownst to anyone, Aldi had apparently mobilized an additional special team to follow them because the Delvino family residence also had many trained bodyguards.And Aldi deliberately chose a route that no one else would have thought of.“We can’t say a word without being asked, understand?” Marcel asked his teammates sharply. “Instead of arguing, it’s better to prepare your energies to face the worst risks in case of a fistfight.”“We understand, Sir.” Diko nodded his head, while Ivan chose to remain silent.Their journey continued for half an hour until they finally entered a large and imposing gate with a gold gilded plaque that read Herman Corporation.“After this, the guard will be tighter,” Marcel murmured in a low whisper. “Make sure we watch what we say, because there’s a chance our conversations co
Marcel looked at the rest of his colleagues in turn after they had painstakingly managed to get permission from Aldi to go forward to look for Ronnie’s whereabouts.“We can’t take all the guys with us,” he told Ivan. “Some have to stay here to keep an eye on Ronnie’s men that we’re holding hostage.”Diko and Ivan listened to Marcel’s words with serious faces.“What kind of person is Ronnie, anyway?” asked Diko curiously. “Do we really have to bring in special guards?”“Ronnie is Herman Delvino’s son,” Marcel replied slowly. “Our initial goal is just to find out what the Delvino family wants. We also need to find Ronnie’s whereabouts to make him accountable to us.”Marcel deliberately tucked a small firearm into his waistband.“The wiretaps won’t work there,” Marcel said again. “We’ll be searched several times, even our mobile phones will be detained according to their security procedures.”Diko paused in thought.“What should we do, Sir?” asked Ivan. “I want to carry a weapon that is
“We’re already a team here,” Marcel said firmly. “What happens in the lab, it’s the same as disrupting this team.”Diko didn’t know what else to say.Several weeks passed ....The arrival of Ronnie’s men who had just returned from hospital was greeted with a tight escort from Aldi’s men.The boy himself has been prepared a special room with super tight supervision so that he cannot escape or establish communication with the people around him.“You have to stay conscious, Gio.” Aldi sat in front of Ronnie’s bed. “I’m sorry about what happened to you ...”“Thank you, but I don’t think that’s necessary!” said Gio while looking at Aldi with a hostile gaze. “My boss is going to get back at you for having the audacity to lock me up in this place ...”“I saved your life, don’t you remember?” asked Aldi flatly, looking at one of Ronnie’s men calculatingly.Gio didn’t answer and just looked away because he was locked up like a prisoner who had to submit at all times to the words of the warders
Furthermore, the man whose name Ronnie did not know was busy mixing something not far from where he was.“Patience, Delvino? I’m making a formula that can fully restore your stamina,” the man joked to himself.Somebody save me, Ronnie thought to himself.“I’ve always hated young men who like to ruin their own bodies, whether it’s smoking, taking certain drugs ...” The man vented his frustration while pouring something into a pipette. “Ah yes, you must not know who I am ... Just call me Professor Rudolf.”Of course, Ronnie did not welcome this extraordinary introduction.Marcel’s brother-in-law could only resign himself, he hoped that the old man would let him go after making the formula for his body’s recovery unconditionally.Although it seemed impossible, as Professor Rudolf seemed obsessed with Ronnie’s physique.“So that’s it,” muttered Professor Rudolf while facing Ronnie. “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to stay here for the time being until the formula is perfect.”Ronnie didn’t und
Aldi split the team into two parts after Marcel received a call from the lab.“Sir, I’ll just go to the family’s house.” Marcel volunteered as Aldi put him on the second team as the search team.“Hold on,” Aldi interrupted, looking at Marcel very sternly. “We don’t know if this is a trap from Delvino’s family or not, Mr Marcelino. So let me send someone to visit there.”Marcel didn’t have time to argue because at that moment Diko came into their midst.“Sir, all the teams are ready.” Diko reported.“We’re leaving now,” Aldi said, then turned to look at Venya. “You should stay in the lab ...”“But ... I owe you and Mr Marcelino a lot, I want to help too,” Venya insisted as she looked at Aldi, making it impossible for him to deny her request.“Let me drive,” Diko said as he grabbed Aldi’s car keys. “You still look sleepy, take a nap while I drive ...”“How can you?” said Aldi as he got into his own car and let Diko drive. “I’m not sure that Mr Herman Delvino would go out of his way, tha
“How is your husband’s divorce going?” Miko asked Shirley, who was sitting next to her.The two of them were in the car and occasionally made out without regard to place and status.“I don’t know, he said he wants to keep divorcing me.” Shirley replied lightly. “Who cares, Marcel never existed-except with my housemaid.”Miko chuckled.“How could you want to marry a man who doesn’t have a good job,” she commented mockingly. “Marry a well-established man, at least one who can satisfy you in every way ....”Shirley tingled when the tip of Miko’s nose touched her ear.“It’s just a debt-redemption marriage,” Shirley argued as Miko moved away. “We’ll see, I’m not sure if Marcel has enough money to organize our divorce ... He thinks divorce doesn’t cost money?”Miko grasped Shirley’s hand as she said, “Until now, he hasn’t moved forward because of what? Because there’s no money!”“Indeed,” Shirley nodded in agreement.“Well, let your husband do what he wants.” Miko said. “With or without him
“You ...” A guard observed Marcel’s face that was slightly hidden behind his messy jet-black hair. “Like the one over there ....”Before the guard could recognize him, Marcel turned around and immediately pulled Venya to run back. He bumped into one or two people who were intent on blocking his way.“Venya, I need your help!” Marcel exclaimed loudly.“Are you sure, Marcel?” Venya called back. “I can’t fight, Marcel!”“You just need to listen to my instructions!” Marcel said. “And do it without asking too many questions!”Venya couldn’t help but nod her head.“The important thing is that I can go home and see my father!” Venya exclaimed almost desperately. “I came here to continue my research, but why is it like this!”Marcel nodded his head, he stopped his running and lifted Venya up by her waist until both of her long legs were lifted off the ground.“Oh my, Marcel!” Venya exclaimed in surprise.“I’m sorry if I’m being rude! But please raise your legs high, I’ll use them to immobiliz
