The sound of laughter could be heard when Marcel arrived at Delvino’s house. He had wanted to enter through the front door, so he decided to turn around and enter through the backyard.

Shirley had always warned Marcel not to show himself when her friends came to visit.

“I want to build a perfect image in front of my friends, and I always tell them that my husband is a busy businessman who comes home every three months.” That’s what Shirley said every time Marcel protested her behavior.

Unfortunately, Ronnie was sitting at the table enjoying a cup of coffee. Shirley’s eldest brother turned his head when Marcel appeared in the kitchen.

“You didn’t come through the front door, did you?” Ronnie asked in a probing tone.

“I came through the back door,” Marcel replied flatly.

“It’s good that you know yourself,” Ronnie said with a sardonic smile. “By the way, doesn’t the waitressing job pay enough to support my sister?” asked Ronnie again as Marcel washed his hands in the sink.

“It should be

    “What?” Marcel narrowed his eyes. “How can you be so sure?”Aldi nodded calmly.“I looked hard for you,” he said, exhaling heavily. “I’m on the same frequency as your parents when it comes to scientific research in order to improve the lives of mankind.”Marcel was pensive for a long time, forcing his brain to come to terms with what Aldi was explaining.“I think you have the wrong person, sir.” He shook his head. “Growing up, I didn’t even know what my parents did in the lab. So I’m just continuing what my parents started.”Aldi didn’t comment.“I’m Marcel, not a medicine man or a businessman like you think.” Marcel took out his wallet and showed Aldi his identity card. “I’m a business graduate who even only works at a grocery store because my wife’s family doesn’t want me to work at the company ....”Marcel then placed the file Aldi had given him on the table.Aldi looked at the file on the table, then looked at Marcel.“You are the right partner,” Aldi said with the same confidence

    “Where’s Shirley?” asked Ciko when Marcel arrived home.“Didn’t she tell you?” said Marcel as he opened his jacket.“If Shirley told me, why would I ask you?” said Ciko with the water hose held up to Marcel’s face.“She’s on holiday,” Marcel replied matter-of-factly. “But I don’t know where she’s holidaying and with whom.”Ciko nodded.“Wash my car,” he ordered. “I took it to the beach yesterday and it got rained on. You wash it again, and then you can eat.”Marcel, still tired from work, looked at his brother-in-law and prepared to refuse.“What?” challenged Ciko, who noticed Marcel’s rejection.“I just got back from work, at least let me drink first.” Marcel tried to bargain.“Who are you to bargain now?” scolded Ciko as he whipped Marcel’s arm with the hose.“It’s not like that ...” Marcel pretended to grimace in pain. “Mr Aldi has been contacting me for the past few days and I feel like someone is following me ... That’s why I need to get home quickly.”Ciko’s face immediately fro

    Since his parents’ house was terrorized, Ronnie has been so busy that he no longer has time to disturb Marcel’s peace.Marcel took advantage of this to dig deeper into Venya’s knowledge of medicine.“So basically I have to understand the nature of each element to be able to produce the desired formula?” Marcel asked in conclusion. That afternoon, he had deliberately asked Venya to teach him to make a simple potion.“Yes, but it’s not that simple either.” Venya nodded. “It all has to be complemented with patience because usually the formula we want doesn’t just come together in one try. Sometimes we have to make different formulas many times until we know which one works best.”“So what do I need to learn again?” asked Marcel more specifically. “I want to change my life, and also claim what is rightfully mine.”Venya smiled at Marcel’s words.Marcel himself needed a few days to be ignorant about whether he was smart enough to take in all the information.What was certain was that whate

    Marcel didn’t answer immediately, his mind so full that it was difficult for him to decide immediately.“What else would you like to consider, Sir?” said Fandi again.“Actually, I have nothing to consider,” said Marcel.“Then?” asked Fandi, not understanding. “About the cooperation with Mr Aldi, didn’t you agree to it?”Marcel turned to look at Fandi.“I can’t just agree to Mr Aldi’s visit to my lab,” said Marcel. “I also don’t want people to find out about this collaboration too soon, especially my wife’s family.”Fandi nodded his head, while Marcel chose not to go too far.“I don’t know what you’re planning to do with your wife’s family, but you should immediately respond to Mr Aldi’s request to come visit your lab.”“Please tell Mr Aldi to be patient for a while,” Marcel said calmly. “I’m not sure when, but it’s in my best interest to protect the lab from the curiosity of my wife’s family.”Fandi smiled briefly when he heard Marcel’s explanation.“I understand,” he agreed. “I’m jus

    A few hours after that, Marcel came back to his father-in-law's core house. Predictably, Herman was furious with the decision Marcel had made."You intend to destroy our agreement, huh?" Herman asked angrily."Our agreement is already broken, that's why I can no longer bear to stay with Shirley." Marcel commented calmly."So why did you leave this house, why?" Herman asked."Shirley is cheating on me," Marcel replied briefly.Herman frowned in disbelief."Come back now, this agreement can still be fixed." He said firmly. "Don't complicate your life anymore.""I'm just here to tell you that I'm going to find the funds to pay the debt," Marcel said simply. "So you don't have to force me and Shirley's marriage anymore."Herman exhaled loudly."You think it's that easy?" he snapped. "Never mind, you'd better go to Shirley and apologize now."Marcel shook his head firmly."I'll prove it to Dad," he said flatly, after which he excused himself to leave Herman's core house.Once in the lab, M

    Ronnie’s face turned bright red when Marcel reminded her of the challenge.“You doubt this company’s ability?” asked Ciko angrily. “Who do you think you are!”As he said that, Ciko observed Marcel and realised that his brother-in-law’s appearance had changed considerably.Marcel, who used to wear a collared shirt typical of the uniform of the shop where he worked, was now wearing a formal suit like himself, with a silver watch around his wrist.Ciko, who likes to collect watches, clearly knew that the watch Marcel was wearing wasn’t cheap.“You’ve been promoted,” Ciko commented sarcastically. “Director of the shop?”Ronnie snorted with suppressed laughter.“I see,” Marcel said calmly. “So what do you say, are you brave enough?”“I’m not willing to bow down at your feet, unclean.” Ciko scoffed, and Ronnie was astonished that Marcel could still take the insult in stride.“Well, you have a fear of your parents’ company failing, don’t you?” Marcel said flatly, but it struck a chord with C

    “You have to hide!” Venya exclaimed under her breath as she stood up.“Why would I hide?” asked Marcel in surprise. “The door is locked by the system.”Venya didn’t answer immediately, but her eyes were alert and worried.“What’s wrong, Venya?” asked Marcel curiously.“I can’t explain right now, Marcel ...” Venya replied apologetically. “Just hide first ....”Marcel was silent and no longer pressed Venya, despite wanting to know what was going on.The focus of the two of them was now completely distracted by the conversation heard outside.“Open the door!”“Call Marcel!”“Why, we should have the right to enter here!”“Whoever opens the door!”Marcel and Venya looked at each other.“How about this?”“Don’t open the door.”“Then what are you going to do?”“I don’t know, they won’t back down.” Venya tried to calm down. “Or I should meet them ....”“What for?”A moment later, Marcel heard the sound of a hard object being slammed.“Do we need to get out now?” whispered Marcel, the lab abou

    Upon arriving at the lab, Venya successfully piqued Marcel’s curiosity by looking at Venya’s muddy face.“What’s wrong, Venya?”Venya immediately explained the chronology of events that she had experienced when facing Delvino’s family, who insisted on entering the lab. Marcel shook his head in response to the behavior of his wife’s family.“How arrogant of them,” Marcel commented.“I’m fine ...” Venya said quietly.“If you get verbally or physically abused, tell me.” Marcel gave Venya a stern look. “That’s you looking shocked, do we need to teach them a lesson?”Venya didn’t answer immediately. She suddenly felt her head dizzy and her body weak, so she just obeyed when Marcel asked her to lie down on the bed, while Meru sat pensively as usual.“You must be exhausted, you also regularly consume the formula you made yourself, right?” asked Marcel.“No, I don’t have time ....”“... at least take the time to keep yourself fit, I know you’re tired of working all this time, Venya.”Venya cl

    Meanwhile, Shirley still could not accept her father’s decision to appoint Elen as CEO of the company. How could she, who was highly educated, be paired with an employee whose educational background was unclear.That was an insult, Shirley was furious in her heart.She immediately ordered someone to find information about Elen, including her educational history.At least, Shirley wanted to make sure for herself that her competitor was someone who was very equal in everything.“Here are the files you asked for, ma’am.” A secretary handed a brown folder to Shirley.“No one knows that I told you to get Elen’s personal data, right?” Shirley asked, looking up at her secretary.“No one, ma’am.” The secretary shook her head politely.“Good,” Shirley replied in a satisfied tone. “You may go. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”The secretary nodded and hurriedly left Shirley’s room.After her employee left, Shirley lowered her head to check Elen’s biodata.

    “Sir, this is bad!”Damian looked up when Dirlan entered his office.“Why didn’t you knock first?” Damian asked unhappily.“Excuse me, Sir … but this is really bad!” Dirlan exclaimed, holding back. “I just got news from Wina this morning, and I came straight here looking for you …” “Sit down,” Damian ordered. “What’s the problem? Did a lot of employees leave?”Dirlan shook his head, he sat down and stared above him.“Not a single body was found from yesterday’s incident,” Dirlan said with a tense expression on his face. “There’s only a car wreck that’s ringing.”Damian responded to the news delivered by Dirlan with clenched fists.“How is that possible? Didn’t you say that the car should have had passengers?” Damian inquired with a twitching expression.Dirlan was a little horrified to see his boss’s face, he replied hesitantly, “Of course I’m sure, the car couldn’t have been driven by a ghost—at least there was a driver and an unexpected person, Marcel ...” Damian sighed heavily, “

    Upon arriving at the headquarters, Marcel successfully piqued Aldi’s curiosity because he saw their messy hands.“I told you to be careful!”Ivan, representing his colleagues, immediately explained the chronology of the events that had befallen them. Aldi shook his head in response to the unexpected disaster.“Take the injured to the lab,” Aldi ordered.“I’m fine, Sir ...” Marcel replied softly.“If you’re injured, that means something is wrong.” Aldi looked at Marcel firmly. “You two also have to be examined regarding the formula you’ve consumed.”Diko and the others nodded obediently when Aldi had already said so.In the lab ....Marcel suddenly felt his head dizzy and his body weak, so he just obeyed when the team of doctors asked him to lie down on the bed while Diko and Ivan were examined in another room.“No matter how magical it is, this formula still has to be perfected.”“Especially when it’s drunk in an unhygienic condition ...”“... a lot of dust, for example.”Marcel close

    When all the iron had been thrown completely, a man and a woman jumped down and walked closer.“How? Are you sure this won’t make the boss angry?” asked Wina who was standing on the far side. “Even though we had acknowledged the man as our son …”“Shouldn’t we be one step ahead?” replied Dirlan with sparkling eyes. “Let’s just say it was a single accident, the important thing is that the boss wants to stop Marcelino from continuing his cooperation with Mr. Aldi.”The man with the short hair shrugged.“We should go now,” he suggested. “Let the fake scientist clean up this mess.”The husband and wife immediately got back into the truck, not long after they left the scene before people came because of the chaos they had created.“My mind feels relieved after the person named Marcel was successfully destroyed, Wina!”“Hopefully what we did was right, Dirlan!”The couple did not speak to each other anymore as the truck carrying them continued to speed away from the scene of the crime.Upon

    Since leaving the shop and deciding to join Aldi, Marcel rarely showed his face in front of the Delvino family.Marcel's old cellphone was also always ringing, but he never bothered because the ones who contacted him were always Shirley or his mother-in-law who demanded that he return as soon as possible."I've finished the experiment with Venya and the team, can I go out for a while?" Marcel asked asking permission from Aldi. "I'm bored if I keep being locked up here without a job."Aldi thought for a moment. Marcel thought that he would never be given permission, but it turned out he was wrong!"You can go anywhere you want," said Aldi who at that time was busy with the layout of the Delvino family's very large residence."Are you serious, sir?" asked Marcel, very suspicious when Aldi easily gave him permission."As long as you continue to act carefully," replied Aldi with a serious face. "With us having started to gradually take over the medical market, I'm sure the Delvino family

    “Let’s do it,” Marcel said, looking straight at Ronnie.“What the heck, Cel? Don’t be rude to my brother!” Shirley snapped in disapproval.Marcel didn’t respond, while Ronnie was busy arguing with herself.“Well, if you intend to break your promise,” Marcel said calmly. “People who break their oaths usually get unlucky for life.”After saying his final sentence, Marcel turned and walked away, leaving his wife and brother-in-law behind.“Brother, why did you make a challenge?” Shirley commented fiercely. “Now what if our family gets unlucky in life?”Ronnie clenched his fists, a fierce battle still going on in his mind. His pride would certainly be at stake if he wiped Marcel’s shoes.“What do you think, Brother?” Shirley urged in annoyance.“Just keep quiet if you can’t give me a solution!” Ronnie blurted out emotionally, his shoulders heaving and his hands clenching. “Cel, wait!”Marcel stopped walking before he had gone too far, then turned around.

    “Venya, what are you doing?” Marcel frowned when he got into the car, and it turned out that Venya was driving. “Where did the driver go yesterday?”Venya smiled broadly before answering, “Today, Mr. Diko just finished teaching me how to drive a car.”Marcel nodded briefly and told Diko to take him to the Aldi branch office building, one of the companies under the Aldians Group.That was where the leader would announce which companies were eligible to participate in the tender.“Mr. Aldi said that you are not allowed to reveal the cooperation project to anyone you meet,” Diko reminded her when they were only a few meters away from the destination office.“Of course I will keep my mouth shut, so there is no need to worry about anyone finding out.” Marcel emphasized.“But…” Diko still seemed hesitant.“No one will recognize me except Delvino’s family members,” Marcel interrupted as he got out of the car. “And they also don’t know exactly what my cooperation project with Mr. Aldi is.”Di

    Then suddenly dozens to tens of people in black uniforms appeared gradually but quickly surrounding Marcel’s movement who was on top.“Trash,” Marcel muttered while raising his face arrogantly. “Move forward, all of you!”Almost all of Dirlan’s men shot forward, and Marcel moved one leg to throw a rifle up, then grabbed it with both hands.He immediately aimed at the floor, the whirring bullets smoothly shot at the legs of Dirlan’s men who immediately collapsed and made the people behind him slip while some were trampled by their own friends.“Move forward, all of you!” Marcel challenged in a loud voice while turning around and jumping from the glass window that shattered into pieces when it hit his body quickly.Marcel’s body fell freely down towards Dirlan’s swimming pool before anyone could catch him.He felt incredibly fresh when his face hit the pool water, he immediately straightened himself up with water dripping from his hair.Dirlan grinned widely at his men.“The game isn’t

    Marcel caught Dirlan red-handed when he followed the man to a building that was quite hidden.“So it turns out you’re not my father, right?”“That’s it,” Dirlan nodded.“Come with us now,” said one of them, who immediately threw Marcel into a room.Marcel calmly let himself be led to a two-story house that was not too far from the office.There were already several men waiting for him with wary looks. Without much ado, introducing themselves, one of them immediately invited Marcel to talk.“Become a medical expert in my company, then you will get back the wealth and women as you wish.”Marcel looked up from his position sitting flanked by two armed and muscular gangsters.“You’ve got the wrong person,” Marcel replied flatly, with both words staring straight at the young man in a vest who was sitting facing him with a gripping aura. “I’m not the person you’re looking for.”The tall man with gray irises stared at Marcel with eyes narrowed to a line.
