Sc Corp International.
A young woman with a short cut ran hastily towards a large room on the fifteenth floor of the Sc Corp International office in downtown Seattle, because it was too rushed the woman forgot to knock on the door and just walked in so that it made everyone in the most important room in the Building turn towards her simultaneously.
“Miranda!”
The woman named Miranda immediately straightened her body when she realized the murderous gaze that was on her.
“I hope the news you bring is important enough,” said Alexander Scott, CEO of Sc Corp International who is conducting an impromptu meeting with his trusted people.
Miranda soaked her dry lips in haste before finally stepping her feet towards the CEO's never-smiling desk. “This is the latest news I just received, Mr.”
Both of Xander's black eyes stared at the nano towards the smart tablet Miranda had just placed before him, for two minutes the large room was suddenly silent. Everyone in the room no one dared to speak, they even breathed out very carefully for fear of getting the boss distracted.
“Mati slit in her apartment, so what did Harry Portland say about this?” xander asked softly to comment on the sad news of Felix Brown's death this morning.
“Harry Portland has not given any statement regarding the death of this good friend, even the Brown family has not commented anything.”
Xander thinned his lips. “Felix is just the bastard child of Eugene Brown, it is understandable if the family has not commented. What is very strange is that Portland jerk, as a friend he should be in the front substation to give an official statement related to this.”
“Son Eugene Brown died, boss?”
“Iya.” Xander pushes Miranda's tablet towards his other men using his slender index finger. “She died slit in her apartment last night.”
“What?!”
“Who killed him?”
“Felix Juan Brown who last week destroyed our project in Vancouver means?”
“Yes, that Felix Juan Brown. She was found dead by her housekeeper who had just arrived earlier this morning in the apartment with a large incision wound to her neck.” Miranda answered all her friends' questions simultaneously.
Miranda and the three young men who were gathered in the room were Alexander Scott's confidants, although their appearance looks like other Sc Corp International workers but in fact they are special staff that Xander deliberately hired in his office to help him take care of his company engaged in property with the concept modern that.
“Lantas has the culprit been found?”
“Not yet, the police have not given any details.”
“Why, isn't the Seattle city police the best cop in the country?” asked a young man who stood closest to Xander immediately chimed in on Miranda's words.
Miranda turned her gaze towards Xander who had been staring at her unblinkingly, even though Xander had read the news given by Miranda but the man still wanted to hear the explanation directly.
“According to the info from our guy Felix's killer is not a random person, not just a cctv recording in Felix's apartment is missing. All the apartment cctv footage was lost, even the camera in Felix's car was lost without a trace. He also destroyed Felix's car using a dangerous acidic liquid that instantly destroyed all the inside of that car,” explained Miranda at length.
Xander nodded his head slowly hearing Miranda's words, he tried to digest the explanation Miranda gave so carefully
“Crazy, that guy was really great,” Fabian chirped by accident. “It looks like the culprit is one of the hitmen hired by business rival Harry Portland.”
“Good.” Miranda and her three friends answer Xander's words simultaneously.
“Now leave me alone.”
The decree that had just spoken from Xander's lips made the four people in the room immediately leave without refuting, after exiting the boss' room one by one return to his main job including Miranda who is in charge of being a receptionist on the first floor. Although Miranda can actually occupy a higher position in the company, but she prefers to work as a frontliner because she feels if she is more suitable to occupy that position that is similar to the previous profession when not he met Xander in Macau five years ago.
“Counter-killer,” said Xander slowly as he stared at the long incision that left Felix bled to death through the tablet that Miranda left behind. “A contract killer would not be possible to kill this way.”
Xander is convinced that the man who killed Felix is not a hitman as Miranda said, the way the man removed such a neat trail made Xander feel that the killer was still very amateurish.
“Whoever you are, I will soon find you.” Xander resumed his words with an unreadable facial expression, his years-long stand-off with Harry Portland is the main reason why Xander cares enough about the death of Felix Juan Brown who last week disrupted his new project in Canada.

“Felix my son, why is your luck so bad son. Why did you have to die this cruel way my son,” cried Felicia Brown, felix's mother, who had been a waitress at the Brown house before finally getting into Eugene Brown's basket after giving him a stimulant drug to change his bad luck. “Felix babe.”
Eugene Brown who was standing behind Felicia who was crying their son did not budge, although Felix was born by accident, Eugene still recognizes him as a child despite not giving complete affection to Felix for twenty-one years. Eugene was still a little annoyed at Felicia who had trapped him so that the disgusting night happened.
“Stop crying Feli!” hardik Maria Brown, the first wife and wife recognized by Eugene Brown in front of everyone. “You'll make people laugh at the Brown family.”
Felicia who was injured because she saw her son who died horribly ignoring the words of her former employer, she continued to cry and called her favorite son with a louder and heartbreaking voice.
“Felicia!!” Eugene who was exhausted with patience finally snapped at his second wife with a thunderous voice that made everyone in the morgue turn their heads towards her simultaneously. “What are you deaf!!”
Felicia stared intently at the man she loved so much with her lips shaking violently, she did not expect that her sacrifice of nearly twenty-five years in the Brown family home was not considered. He even happily gave his chastity to Eugene when he was so young because he was too trusting in the sweet words of Eugene who was at that time in a feud with Maria, the wife.
“If you can't help yourself it's better that you leave this room!!”
“You asked me to leave, did you not see what happened to our son?” Felicia replied to Eugene boldly. “Someone has killed him cruelly, Eugene. Someone has already taken my son's life by savage!!”
“I'll take care of it, you better go home and ..”
“No, I will not leave my son before the culprit is caught!!” Felicia cut her husband's words boldly, one thing she had never done before.
Eugene stiffened his jaw, he was so surprised to see Felicia dare to fight him like that. With mounting emotion Eugene raised his right hand and pointed it straight at Felicia, it was fortunate that there was Harry Portland so that Felicia's pretty face was not hit by her husband's slap.
“Harry,” growled Eugene full warning.
“Do not blame Aunty Feli, uncle. Aunty was just devastated by Felix's death,” Harry said boldly. “Don't worry Uncle, I promise I'll find and make a calculation with the man who killed Felix. I'll make him pay with his life.”
Hearing that Felicia immediately pulled Harry's arm, forcing him to confront her head-on. “Are you really going to do that?”
“Iya Aunty, I swear in front of Felix's body.”
