Lying in a large hotel bed, Javier ponders the issue with Suzanne's medical research.
She felt that it might not be Suzanne who was reluctant to leave. Most likely a consortium that might not let them go.
Anyone who has a chicken nest that can lay golden eggs will make sure to have a secure leash as they are a source of profit.
That's why Javier thinks that taking care of Manny is the least of all problems. The real problem was still waiting for him.
Nonetheless, he had to finish it step by step now. The first step to getting started was to make Suzanne aware of her abilities and willing to lead the team back into the country with her.
However, to achieve this, he still has to take care of Manny first.
Next morning…
Javier had just finished his breakfast when Luca, who was on the phone with Herschel and knew his address, rushed over here. Looking at Luca's red eyes, Javier knew that the man must have not slept well yesterday - he might not even have slept.
As expected, Luca told him, “Master. Kersey, I've checked it out. My uncle took the vaccine from a student named Suzanne Quinn nine years ago.”
Although there is no real evidence, things like this will not just appear..
Moreover, Javier was personally involved. There's no way it's fake. Therefore, Luca came this morning after a night of contemplation.
“Bos, can you give us a chance? I'll take you to my uncle now and ask him to restore the girl's honor.”
Needless to say, the opportunity was for Manny. Luca asks Javier not to go after Manny. Javier can understand Luca. After all, Manny was the last of the relatives. Anyone would want to defend their family. In addition, Javier only needs Manny to clear Suzanne's name and honor.
He's okay with the others. Therefore, Javier agrees to Luca's request, and Luca thanks him for it. After repeatedly thanking Javier, he took him to his car and drove to the exclusive mansion residential area. The place may not be cheap, it costs at least 6-8 million dollars.
For Javier, that kind of money is nothing but for the director of the hospital.Hah, he definitely made a lot!
Javier's not interested in the job behind this right now. He's not here to find out about bribery and corruption. He just wants Suzanne's credit back.
After Luca pressed the doorbell, the door opened immediately. A charming woman about 35 years old opened the door. She is a charismatic woman with sensual appeal, like a ripe peach.
Javier thinks she is a housekeeper, but Luca calls her "auntie" politely. It seemed that Manny had arrived at the peak of his life. He was in his sixties with a wife
in his thirties.
Status, wealth, and a young wife have fulfilled all the classic requirements of a good life. He has it all a big house, a beautiful wife, and a hospital director. He really is at the top of his life.
Samantha knew about the Easton Group belonging to the Luca family, so she welcomed her nephew warmly. While inviting Luca in, he also smiled kindly at Javier as he looked at him.
When they entered the living room, they saw Manny was reading a newspaper on the sofa, and it was not related to medical but entertainment. That's catchy.
He was already in his sixties, but he was still paying attention to show business. What a busy man.. Seeing Luca here, Manny asked, “Luca, what brings you here this early in the morning? Have you had breakfast? We can eat together later!”
Luca waved to ignore it. “No need, uncle. I'm here to talk to you about something.”
"Oh?" Manny looked at Luca and turned his gaze to Javier.
“You wouldn't think of asking for a job for him, would you? Then, you overestimated your uncle too much. I've been honest and undamaged all my life. I will not abuse my professional rights.”
However, it made Luca ashamed. The latter cuts cr*p as well, frankly with Manny.
“Uncle, this is not an outsider. My boss. You can eliminate that prejudice. You live in a big house and drink expensive tea. If you only depend on your small salary, you will not even be able to maintain your lifestyle.”
Luca's sincerity leaves Manny unsatisfied. "Luca, what do you want to say ?!"
Not wanting to linger with Manny, Luca explained it clearly. “Uncle, I'll be frank. I'm here for a vaccine patent nine years ago. The vaccine was not you. That's Suzanne Quinn. Solve this problem and return the title to her!”
Manny had initially only felt displeased, but now, not only was he feeling displeased. His heart fell, and a chill ran down his spine. He took a deep breath and looked at Luca with wide eyes.
"What empty egg did you put out!?”
Luca advises her in earnest, “Uncle, listen to me. I'm not gonna hurt you. You have acquired wealth and prestige all along, and you are reaching retirement. Stop what you shouldn't be doing. It would be best if you could retire without a fuss. No need to be burdened by unnecessary things like this.”
“B*Is*t! Why should I retire in silence? I have a clear conscience of being a hospital director all along! The vaccine patent is mine. Don't question me just because you've heard nonsense from an outsider. I'm your uncle!”
After Manny scolded Luca, he looked at Javier. “You're Luca's boss? I don't care who you are and how capable you are, but we all walk in this world with a sense of morality and justice. I don't know who you are and why you slandered me, but I walk and speak with integrity. I'm not afraid of anyone!”
Facing Manny, who was truly excited by the sense of justice emanating from him, Javier nodded in agreement, "You're a very good actor."
Manny growled and asked angrily, “What do you mean? You mean I'm acting? This doesn't make any sense! I, Manny Poupe, have been honored all my life. Never once have I taken a questionable shortcut. You claim that I have taken the results of someone else's research. Sure, show me the proof!
“Where's your evidence? You don't have it? How dare you make such a claim if you have no proof? I can sue you in court over this!”.
Javier asked, “Do you not know if you have taken the results of someone else's research as yours?”
Manny gritted his teeth and slammed his palm onto the table. "How dare you !?"
He then shouted at Luca, "Luca, it's still early in the morning, and you should bring someone like this here and disgust your uncle, right?"
Luca felt helpless. If he didn't know how Manny got this house, he would definitely trust the older man. It's not important now, though. The important thing is Manny has to admit his mistake as soon as possible. “Uncle, I sincerely did this for your sake. Our boss.is not someone you can hurt. Admit your mistake!”
Luca is really considering Manny. He has been to Javier's house, experienced a rocket dropping fireworks, seen a fancy private jet, and even met the blond president Sammius on Zephiel's porch.
Think about it. How strong would Kerseys be if the blond president had to visit in person?
Luca is really a good niece, doing her best to protect her uncle. Manny clearly disagreed.
“He's influential, huh? Its alright. I know a lot of authoritative figures as well. Want to act unreasonable here with me? He can save her!”.
Luca wants to talk more, but his aunt, Samantha, comes over. "Luca, you're wrong this time. Don't you know what your uncle looks like? It is so disrespectful to your Uncle and even insulting to his character that you doubt him just because you heard the dog barking!
“Ask him to leave now. We do not welcome people like this!”
Javier shrugged and patted Luca on the shoulder before he got up leaving Manny's house.
Since the man had to knock on the door of hell, prying it open when the door was not answered, there was no way to stop him from sending himself to his end.
