The atmosphere at the resort was just like the day before; lively, with conversations happening, and people bustling around under Sam’smand. Whether through nd or Hugo, they all obeyed him, including fixing the headquarters that had been messed up by Herry’s men a few days ago.


    The police chief reportedly suffered significant consequences within his unit. Meanwhile, Ferdi was let off the hook, iming he was being pressured by Jimmy Lee’s side. The witness was their driver who initially refused to cooperate. But Ferdi always found a way to ensure his safety within the police force, even though it was clear that he had participated in helping Sam, along with his other friends. As for those who sided with Herry, they couldn’t do much to resist.


    And because of that, Hugo and nd weren’t too concerned about the policeing to visit just to check the crime scene. Whatever. They didn’t care as long as there was no more trouble. Most of their visits were apanied by Ferdi. Hugo, who had more dealings with the police, albeit reluctantly.


    Hugo was hundreds of kilometers away from the South District Police Headquarters!


    Goodness, whenever Sam gave him a task, it really gave him a headache. At the same time, he had to make sure that no one let their guard down during the boss’s vacation with his lover. God! If only Hugo could shout in protest, he would have done it from the beginning. Unfortunately, for Hugo, Sam’s orders were absolute.


    “How’s it going, boss?” nd asked on the phone.


    Hugo sat leaning on one side of the motorboat that carried him around, keeping an eye on Sam and Beatrice. The distance was far, but he could still observe how his boss was handling the speedboat over there.


    “Challenging,” Hugo replied irritably. He took a strong drag from the half-finished cigarette. “He seems to be intentionally punishing me.”


    “You keep ying games, though.” ndughed on the other end. The image vividly portrayed Hugo’s frustrated and grumbling face for the past three days.


    nd wanted to join him, but he had his own tasks. This included asional visits to Flown Discotheque to monitor activities there. Although Jack was an expert at keeping an eye on and ensuring the conditions of the ce where all of Sam’s money came from, it had be their habit to check on each other. Not that they didn’t trust each other. It was what Sam wanted from the three of them.


    If something urgent happened, all the reinforcements could quicklye down to deal with it.


    “Is the resort secure?” Hugo asked. The sky he gazed at was so clear. His skin had gotten darker from being exposed to the sun for the past few days.


    “It’s secure,” nd sighed softly. “But Be isn’t here.”


    Hugo’s eyebrows furrowed. “What? She’s not there?”


    “Yeah,” nd looked up at the sky that covered him. Hugo must be gazing at the same sky, but in a different location. Right now, nd was at the headquarters. He had just arrived to check on the whereabouts of the snake woman who they wanted to eliminate as soon as possible.


    Unfortunately… the woman’s whereabouts were not there.


    “I asked Anne to search the entire city using CCTV. No news so far.”


    “Did anyone see herst?” Hugo asked, his posture no longer rxed.


    It wasn’t about Be not being there. Even if the woman returned to her original location, he didn’t care. Hugo indeed disliked Be. However, the woman had been by Sam’s side for quite a while. Who knew if there was something they could use as a weapon to trap Sam and destroy the leader of the Dragon Twins n?


    Who knew?


    “Valdo did. But only when they crossed paths around the resort. Usually, the woman is there. So, Valdo didn’t suspect anything.”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Hugo sighed softly. “How long has it been since her whereabouts werest monitored?”


    “Five hours.”


    “SHIT!”


    nd knew why Hugo cursed like that. “I’ll ask for Ferdi’s help then.”


    “After Anne gives me the news, I’ll inform you immediately.”


    “Let Jack know,” Hugo added, no longer enjoying the remaining bit of his cigarette. “That woman is dangerous.”


    “Okay.”


    nd promptly ended the phone call and scanned the area where many of Sam’s men were waiting for him to give orders. “Continue to clean up the headquarters. The boss will be back in a week.”


    “Got it, Boss nd!” they said in unison.


    The big motorcycle that he faithfully rode roared to life once again. The sound of the engine filled the air. nd quickly put on his helmet. But before he could twist the throttle and clutch, his phone rang loudly.


    Anne’s name appeared on the screen.


    “Yes?” nd answered impatiently.


    “She wasst seen around Flown Discotheque. Wearing a ck hoodie and took a taxi. I got thetest information from the taxi driver.”


    “And?” nd asked eagerly.


    “She’s at a hotel not far from the headquarters.”


    nd frowned. “What is she doing there?”


    “My CCTV coverage is limited, bro. I can’t monitor inside the hotel.”


    nd understood that. “I’ll go to Flown first. Tell Valdo to tighten security at the resort.”


    “Okay, bro.”


    He quickly hung up the phone.


    “Kodok!” nd called out immediately.


    Not long after, the figure ran towards nd. His hands were covered in paint. It seemed like he was tidying up the back area that was stained with a lot of marks from the previous fight. “Yes, Boss?”


    “Get your team to check the hotels around the headquarters. Especially Four Hotel. Look for Be there. Let me know if you find anything.”


    “Got it, Boss.”


    After ordering the search to begin, oh… no! nd never worried about Be’s whereabouts. Even if she ended up dead or injured, he didn’t care. There was one thing that concerned him the most.


    Be wasn’t the type of woman who could keep a secret. She could do anything, and here nd emphasized, anything, especially when it came to Sam. She might be nning something terrible given her current situation.


    Who didn’t know that Be had been eliminated? Moreover, the incident at the headquarters when Beatrice bravely fought against Be? Ah… that was the most exciting part of nd’s life. The confrontation between Beatrice and Be was indeed thrilling, but he didn’t want to dwell on it for too long. His current goal was to ensure that Be didn’t act recklessly.


    He sped off at a considerable speed.


    Not long after, nd entered the floor that was often used for dance parties by various groups. It was filled with the smell of alcohol, apanied by the haze of cigarette smoke and the presence of Be, which could ignite passion. But for nd, it had be boring to enjoy. Which corner of Flown Discotheque hadn’t he explored?


    He had experienced almost everything. Unfortunately, nothing could keep him from getting bored.


    “Boss,” one of the staff members called out. “Shall I get your favorite drink?”


    nd just grinned. “Two. Bring them to Jack’s room.”


    “Got it!”


    He continued to walk through the corridors and climbed the stairs one by one. The atmosphere wasn’t yet lively, but the booming music could already be heard. For those who weren’t used to being here, it felt nauseating. But for nd, this was where his life began.


    Several other members of Sam’s crew greeted and exchanged friendly words. nd nodded briefly but didn’t stop walking. There was no time. Until his hurried footsteps reached the ck doorbeled ‘Jack’s Room.’


    Sometimes nd wondered about the choice of this name. Everyone knew it was Jack’s room. Why did it need to bebeled like this? Jack was really strange.


    “Busy?”


    Jack, who had been monitoring stock movements in one of thepanies where a lot of Sam’s money was involved, looked startled. “Are you crazy? Trying to give me a heart attack?”


    nd burst intoughter. “I’m dead serious.” He took a seat right in front of Jack.


    “Flown was settled two days ago. I cleaned up a few things, and, well… I modified it again. Some suppliers wereining about us taking too long to reopen.”


    “You said?”


    “Renovations.”


    nd shook his head slightly. He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. After taking one, he slid the pack towards Jack, offering him one. Jack never refused whenever an offer came from nd or Hugo. Especially from Sam.


    “How was your vacation, Boss?”


    “It went smoothly.”


    “I heard Hugo went with you?” Jack chuckled at the thought.


    “Yeah,” nd shrugged.


    Upon hearing that, Jack burst intoughter. “I’m sure he was asked by the Boss to keep watch the whole time you were on vacation with your lover.”


    “Punishment for ying games all the time,” nd interjected,ughing along. He raised his feet and ced them on the table. “Everything went smoothly, right?”


    “Everything went smoothly.” Jack exhaled smoke from the cigarette he was enjoying. “Later, you have to see which rooms I renovated. Even though I have Boss’s permission, you still need to know and report.”


    “Got it.”


    Jack nodded and refocused on his work screen.


    “Be came here?”


    nd’s question made Jack turn. “Yeah. The bartender told me that Be got drunk and caused a scene.”


    nd’s eyebrows furrowed. “Is that all?”


    “Yeah. I asked how she ended up here, the answer didn’t make sense. She even cursed Beatrice and everything.”


    “What did she say?”


    Jack tried to recall what Be had said earlier. Drunk people’s words were usually strange, right?


    “Be careful, Sam. Beatrice sacrificed herself for her. Something like that.”


    nd clenched his fist tightly.


    “What’s going on?”


    “Where is she now? Do you know?” nd prodded.


    “I called a taxi to take her back to the headquarters. Yongki was there, right? But until now… yeah, that’s right. Yongki hasn’t given me any updates. It’s been more than three hours. She should have arrived by now.”


    “I’m sure you told him to go to the headquarters. But I just came from there, and he’s not there.”


    Jack was taken aback.


    “Anne said she’s at a hotel near the headquarters. I also asked Kenzo to look for that snake woman.”


    Just as nd stopped talking, his phone rang again, disying Kenzo’s name on the screen.


    “Boss, Kak Be isn’t at the hotel you mentioned. There’s no sign of her nearby either.”


    nd’s jaw clenched. “Continue the search.” Smart move, he contacted Anne to check the CCTV footage, in case they missed something.


    “Somehow, whenever it involves Be, something is bound to happen.”


    Jack’s statement left nd speechless.


    “Do you remember what happened two years ago?”


    nd rolled up his shirt sleeves slightly. “How could I forget this scar, Jack?”


    “Tell Hugo to keep a closer eye on Beatrice. I’m afraid Be’s target is just Beatrice. I’ve heard many stories about Beatrice at the headquarters.”


    There was nothing nd could do but nod. He agreed one hundred percent with what Jack said.


    “I heard that Sam has already chosen the woman who will be by his side.” Jack looked at nd intently. “You too, right?”


    “We all know.”


    “Which means…” Jack deliberately paused. He took a strong drag on his cigarette. Smoke billowed out as he exhaled, savoring the remains of his pleasure.


    nd grinned. “No need to say it. I know what needs to be done.”
