Javier sits with Saiorse, Lloyd with Carmen, and Herschel alone in a private room.
Seeing Herschel sitting with them, Lloyd knew that Javier wanted to raise Herschel. Although he did not leave Herschel for his own affairs, coupled with the fact that the two of them had spent the New Year together at Javier's house and were both from the military, they ended up chatting rather happily.
Carmen was chatting with Saiorse about shoes and clothes, which even touched the heart.
When they reach ******* from their conversation, they leave their seats.
This is a pretty good thing because it is not good to smoke in front of two beautiful women who do not smoke themselves.
Therefore, after the women left the private room hand in hand, the three remaining men took their cigarettes.
Lloyd was completely against any rule that had been given to him before. He did not care how many cigarettes he smoked at that time because he was busy chatting.
After the three chatted for a moment, they shifted the topic to the time when the previous accident occurred.
“Nothing happened since I was sent to trial before, nor was there an accident. Is
You managed to find out who arranged for those things to happen from behind the scenes, Mr Kersey?
Javier waved his hand and exhaled his smoke through his nose.
“It's not that simple. They're not just after you specifically, but against the business of many families."
Lloyd was shocked when she heard this.
He feels that Kersey is already very strong, yet there are still forces that will choose to fight not only them but also other families simultaneously?
'Are they crazy?'
However, judging from Javier's expression, Lloyd knew he wasn't joking but that was the truth.
Herschel, who was sitting next to them, said, “Bos has asked me to keep an eye on similar events. Since that happened, the troops hiding in the darkness did not appear again. It was as if they were flying under the radar. No sign of them at all.”
Lloyd took a deep breath but immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He initially thought he was going to fight a troublesome enemy but then realized that it had nothing to do with him.
“This is a fight between a large family, so it has nothing to do with
employees like me or even Chad. So, I obviously thought too much and made myself nervous for no reason.'
After that, they started chatting about the current market situation.
“The market has done well at the moment. It even gradually returned to its former glory. Although the market for influencers is still there, everyone is starting to realize that really good movies are all made by actors and actresses with the right skills, plus good scripts.
“So, inferior films that only rely on influencers as the cast are getting reduced, while good films are actually increasing. If this continues, we will be able to dominate the entire market and increase it again.
“Add again, in my opinion, our current momentum is thanks to “Ackerman”. We have managed to bring the actual film to third place in the box office rankings, which is a very remarkable achievement. Therefore, everyone started to focus more on making good movies to make more money.”
Lloyd continued non-stop at the time about the film industry. After all, this was his skill.
However, just as he was about to give a massive speech, someone suddenly opened the door. The trio turned their heads and coincidentally saw three men walking in, each with a gun.
A moment later, a tall man in black glasses and short-haired entered.
After closing the door, the tall man picked up a cigarette from the table and lit it. He took
deep breaths, making it seem like he was enjoying the high.
One might even think that the cigarettes he smoked contained illegal substances!
After lightly enjoying the moment, the tall man smelled smoke. “Fuck with me! It's been a long time since I smoked some decent cigarettes!”
Javier chuckled and asked, “What's up? Are you drunk with just a cigarette? Just look at how much you seem to be enjoying your moment. The tall man, who had a scar from his left forehead to his right chin, was clearly very unhappy with what he had just heard.
"It's like you don't remember me, right?"
Javier was a little surprised. 'I thought Manny sent these people to deal with me, but I didn't expect to meet someone who knew me.
'But I don't seem to remember who this guy is. I don't know anyone with a big scar on his face who has a grudge against me.'
It was only after the tall man took off his sunglasses that Javier suddenly realized. "Oh! You... That man, that man... Err... What's your name again? Sorry, I have offended so many people that I forgot what your name is. But I'm sure I know you.”
Indeed, Javier knows who this guy is. However, when he had become acquainted with this man in the past, he did not have such a large and somewhat arrogant scar. This man is a friend of Luca, whose family runs a mining business. But I ended up sending him to jail when I got the incriminating evidence of him raping a girl.
'But this is only half a year less. Why does he look so different from before?'
The tall man was further enraged when he heard Javier could not remember his name. "You're the one who destroyed my entire family, and yet you can't even remember my name?"
Javier feels very strange. "What does it have to do with me destroying your family with whether I remember your name or not?"
At that moment, Lloyd, who was sitting at the side of the table, spoke up. “He's Thorin, Luca's friend. He used to hang out with a guy named Harold, but you ended up killing him, and Thorin was thrown in jail.”
Javier remembers everything. “Aah! Aye! You're Thorin Gerard. What's with that big scar on your face? Also, shouldn't you be in jail?”
Sure enough, the tall man was indeed Thorin. He was no wonder Lloyd could recognize him because he had met Lloyd several times when he had hung out with Harold in the past. At the time, Lloyd was a really strong man for Thorin, who didn't want to bother playing around with them, immature children.
However, the fact that Javier was unable to recognize her made him feel extremely unhappy.
Especially when Javier can look so carefree and calm even though there is a gun pointed at him.
“F * your ck! I would have been thrown back into prison if I had not pretended to be sick and escaped
from prison! But you probably didn't expect Manny to accept me, did you, Javier? He used his connections to raise me as his hit man, get me to do his bidding.
“Today, he originally asked me to come here and kill someone, but I didn't expect it to be you! Looks like ab*tch karma, eh? What happens then happens. You once destroyed my entire family and did all those evil things. Looks like it's finally your turn to suffer!”
Javier thought about it and realized that it was a coincidence. He used to think that Thorin would remain in prison forever, but who knew he would eventually escape?
And now, after Manny sends someone to kill Javier, it turns out that the hitman is Thorin, someone he's been nurturing.
'What a huge coincidence!'
However, Javier feels as though he is being accused when Thorin says he has done many "evil things". “What kind of crime have I committed? Come on, let me know.”
