Giovane looked back at the shade of the trees, feeling that there were people surrounding and following him now.
"Flashlight," he immediately ordered his companion.
His companion immediately handed him the flashlight. He illuminated the trees that were there, but he didn't see anything unusual.
He just shook his head. For the last time, he shined the light again, and before his eyes stood a shadow, two shadows.
He signaled for someone to give him a gun. He moved at a slow pace to avoid detection. He turned off the flashlight because it was a full moon, and the surroundings were glowing. The two shadows were still standing there.
He got closer and immediately aimed at the two men.
One of them turned around, and he aimed at him before he could draw his weapon.
"Whoa, boss, calm down." He said this while immediately raising his hand.
He furrowed his brow and saw Vince and Zenne.
"Why are you here?" He asked, immediately lowering the gun, because they were a member of the organization.
"Just keeping watch, boss." Zenne let out a sigh.
"We're also taking a breather now; do you want this?" Vince offered him a cigarette.
He immediately refused Vince.
"You can stop guarding here." After saying this, he swiftly left the area where the two were heading.
These days he felt bothered all the time; he immediately entered the warehouse. Occasionally, he was always on the defense mechanism because of what was happening between him and his father, with various issues surfacing now, especially since his father was a public servant in this province. He is under pressure to ensure his father's reputation remains untarnished due to his role as a politician.
He had already made his way into the warehouse, unfazed by the surrounding noise. He entered a room where he could rest whenever he felt tired from entertaining his partners.
There, he sat down and pondered, looking at the folders that contained information from before. He stopped reading it for now; he needed to take a short break.
There are still many unanswered questions in his mind; he still can't find out who Fernan's connections are. He assumed he deleted it immediately after the massacre of his siblings.
Who are the ones helping you, Jake? He found himself questioning in his mind.
Charles came to mind as a possible suspect, but Jake shook his head in disbelief.
No, Charles wouldn't betray me. He just shook his head.
He heard a knock. He didn't answer.
"Is that you, Charles?"
He simply scratched his head in confusion.
"Come in," he said tersely.
He immediately entered and faced him. He brought some information again.
"Here." Charles couldn't help but say.
Charles immediately placed it on his table. "Look at that, if you're okay. I need to leave now." He ended up saying. "That person is your father's enemy; you might find a clue about who among them is ruining your family's business and your father's public image." He immediately said as he opened the door.
He erupted into laughter. He is really hardworking. Comment in his mind.
Yeah, I'll take a short break after looking at the information he shared with me. He simply stated his thoughts and proceeded to open the brown envelope containing the information.
Hmm? He thought for a moment.
He has a lot on his mind right now. He knows his dad is busy and can't visit or talk to his partners, so he'll manage. Anyway, his father had already entrusted the warehouse and the tasks that only they knew how to handle.
He needs to take a nap for now, as drowsiness is already visiting him.
His dream visited him again; he was still in his room, resting. He noticed that there were eyes watching him, so he looked up; he was startled awake.
Immediately, he saw three women, their clothes drenched in blood.
"You're here, Ellese." He couldn't help but say it and laughed.
Ellese didn't answer; she was staring at him.
"Ellese, you are aware that you consistently appear at my doorstep. Do you believe that you can frighten me in my dreams?" Giovane asked and laughed again.
Ellese smiled back at him and then disappeared like a bubble, and Felisa appeared to him again.
"There's still time to change, brother." Felisa said to him.
He looked at Felisa mockingly. "Felisa, Felisa, you are truly a kind-hearted young woman; even after your passing, you continue to express concern for me. Deep inside you want to take revenge, right?" He mockingly says to Felisa.
"Too bad, you can't take revenge, because you're a ghost already." He said. "By the way, since you're here, please tell your sister Ellese," Giovane stared at Felisa.
"Your two siblings, Mikaela and your stepsister Chesca, will follow you." He smiled at Felisa sarcastically.
Giovane's sibling just clenched their fist, and suddenly a strong wind blew.
"You will pay for everything, Giovane!" She heard Ellese's furious voice, and just like that, Felisa disappeared like a bubble.
"Child," the woman called out to him.
He didn't say a word, just looked at her with sadness, shook his head, and suddenly disappeared.
There, he woke up from that dream.
It's unfortunate that what you refer to as conscience has abandoned me. He couldn't help but say.
He looked at the clock, and it was almost four in the morning. He yawned first.
I need a good sleep. He thought to himself.
He then moved to the bed and lay down. He won't think about those things for now; as long as he finds a lead, he will prioritize the corrupt politician first, because he needs to clear his father's name.
I've been so busy lately.
Whatever.
There, he closed his eyes and fell asleep without any strange dreams.
