"My question is still the same. ANSWER!!" Andos bluffed.

"Kriek.. clikk." The sound of Raka's gun was loud.

"I've said many times, Sir. I really don't know who they are."

"I was suddenly released from a life sentence and was promised 1 billion in cash in one condition. It was to kill you."

"I had to conspire with them because I wanted to meet my daughter."

"It was true that I could be free."

"After that, I was being chased to fulfill their request because my daughter's safety was also at stake." The battered man approached and touched Hendra's shoes.

"Please forgive me, Sir." The man moaned, begging for forgiveness.

"I've never met them face to face at all."

Pradita came closer to whisper something to Hendra.

"The number who contacted this person cannot be traced. Even though the number he told really existed."

Hendra looked at the helpless man below him.

"Why are you in prison for life?" Hendra's expression disappointed the people around him.

How could Wiryo's grandson, who reportedly had no empathy, suddenly asked something unimportant? What else if not flattered by the person who planned to kill him.

"I killed a woman, because she cheated on me."

Hendra was silent for a moment observing him.

"What are we to do with him?" Raka pulled the trigger.

"I'm not lying... I swear... I really don't know who they are."

"DOOR!!" The shot injured the culprit's left leg. Hendra closed his eyes for a moment, then stood up.

"I am not Wiryo. So it is up to you." Hendra walked away.

"Help me sir... Please... I beg you for my daughter." Once again, the man was groaning for help.

"It is useless to kill me. You will continue to be hunted." The voice began to fade away.

Just as a part of the door had moved shut, A lethal shot screamed in the ear.

Hendra ran back and forth. The sabotage culprit was covered in blood.

Andos killed him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!" Hendra couldn't believe the man was murdered.

"You leave him to us, and this is how we work." Andos made a defence.

Hendra narrowed his eyes in disappointment.

"Your salvation is an opportunity yesterday, as well as his death today. The same chance. Unfortunately, he was less fortunate. After all he should die in prison." Andos added.

"To release him is tantamount to bringing him to death. Those who control him will also kill him." Raka also made a statement.

"It is better for you to leave, Sir. Let us take care of it." Andos gave advice.

"He..." Hendra knew what these people meant.

"I'm not going to pass out just seeing a man die." This man was disturbed to rule.

"Find her daughter and make sure she lives properly."

"Tell the little girl that her father died trying to save her." Hendra showed who he was.

The Wenceslas's sole heir used his position to rule over Wiryo's subordinates.

"You!" Hendra looked at Pradita.

"Don't let the photos taken by Surya spread on social media. My future wife must stay safe until our marriage is carried out."

"And you!" Hendra looked at Raka.

"Pull back Andos's team who secretly followed Aruna."

"You're the only one who will be responsible for her safety."

"Now it is your turn, Andos! Even though I don't really like you, I am sure you are skilled enough to look after me. Come back to me immediately after finishing taking care of this man."

Hendra walked in a huff leaving them.

Suddenly, he stopped.

"Pradita, come with me!"

The IT expert trailed behind him.

"Give me all access to this place."

"If necessary, explain to me all the functions hidden behind this room."

"The D Floor includes the floor where you work." Hendra finally complied with elder Wiryo's wishes.

The blue- eyed man, the Wenceslas's sole heir, had the will to lead the Wenceslas Hotel's basement.

It was a movement beyond expectations.

He initially ignored all the pressure his grandfather had put him in. Now, it was his initiative to take over.

'It's useless to kill me. You will continue to be hunted.'

The words that came out from the sabotage culprit before breathing his last breath made Hendra change his direction.

He needed to ensure that Lesmana's daughter, who was rumoured to be at stake, remained safe.

[2 Hours Earlier]

"Why is your performance decreasing?"

Wenceslas Constru ction's board of directors was holding a limited meeting with the Wenceslas Group's CEO.

"The architects are still on strike. They don't want to give up their work even though we have already given a warning, regarding the contract termination." One of them made a statement.

"It's not easy to find other architects, because most of the construction projects are already underway. A change of architects is tantamount to changing the concept of a building." Others added.

"Our architects are competent people, and you admit it. It is a reckless act if we stop them." The MD Construction leader joined in the conversation.

"Is it still the same with what they want??" Hendra asked.

"Yes. It has not changed." Mr Hans, the leader of MD Construction, looked tired these days.

"How much do they receive from Riswan Hamim, so they are willing to do stupid things like this?" Hendra was curious.

"Nothing, Sir."

"This is a kind of herd loyalty. And a movement to make dreams come true." Mr Hans explained.

"Seriously."

"Riswan is very clever to influence other people." Hendra was almost unsure if there were still people who were moved without reward.

"That's why he is the strongest candidate for the next presidential candidate, even without any political party." Another person added.

Suddenly, Surya sneaked in, asking for a one-on-one talk with Hendra. Hendra paused the meeting for a moment. He pulled over and started listening to the secretary.

"Hen, Miss Aruna disappeared." Said Surya in a panic.

The Wenceslas Group's CEO's face immediately turned pale.

"Are you serious??" The man confirmed.

"She rushed out of the Magic letter outlet, and a black sedan was carrying her at high speed." Surya added.

"Take over this meeting!" Hendra asked.

"Wait, are you sure? If you told me to lead this meeting, you know what will be the result, right?!"

"I support Riswan's development program." Surya reminded him.

The CEO was standing in front of the meeting participants.

"Okay, because I don't have much time, I allow you to arrange my meeting with Riswan. I will give my decision after meeting him."

"Tell the architects to work harder." The meeting participants' applause greeted Hendra's words.

The stubborn CEO melted away. That was what was reflected in their minds.

Hendra didn't have time to think about his job. The man swiftly walked, ignoring those who wanted to shake hands.

"Surya, give me my card." Surya hurriedly pasted the card on the lift to go to the Wenceslas Hotel's basement floor.

When the basement door opened, Pradita was standing behind it. It seemed that the man knew Hendra was coming.

"Where is Raka?" His cold voice threatened.

"We found Miss Aruna's phone position, Sir. Several people are currently investigating to make sure that her phone is really there." Pradita changed the conversation.

"I asked WHERE IS RAKA?!!" Hendra was furious, upset that Raka couldn't ensure Lesmana's daughter safety.

"He was asked to accompany the elder on a visit out of town for two days, Sir."

"He is very sorry and is on his way back to Jakarta." Pradita explained that the look on his face also showed disappointment.

Vian quickly walked out of his room to meet Hendra.

"Young master, Miss Aruna's phone is found."

The CEO asked his secretary to drive the car faster towards the Magic Letter outlet.

***

[Right after saying goodbye to Aruna's friends]

*Take care of mine. Remember, a borrower must return his loan in good condition as before.

Furious, the blue-eyed man had removed the threatening sentence for his competitor and replaced it with a short message containing the sentence from Aruna's phone to Damar's number via WhatsApp.

Aruna's future husband contacted Pradita again. He asked the underground floor cyber leader in finding out about Damar, or more precisely, Danu Umar, a newcomer musician, including the waterfront housing where the car disappeared.

It didn't take long for Hendra to get Damar's house google map.

The Wenceslas Group's CEO started tapping his fingers, showing a gesture that he couldn't stand the wait anymore.

The man behind Bentley's car looked gloomy and eerie, waiting for the doorbell that his guard pressed to be welcomed by the house owner.
