Chapter 172 - PAYBACK TIME I
Meanwhile, in the Minato family villa, chaos erupted early in the morning. They were woken up by the butler in a hurry, only to find out that the youngest of the family, Albert, was taken into custody by several police officers.
"What's the meaning of this?" Julian Minato, the current Patriarch of the Minato family, questioned the officers. He was still wearing his robe and slippers while trying to pull his grandson away from the policemen. Sadly, he wasn't given the chance to do it.
"Sorry for disturbing your sleep, Mr. Minato. However, we receive information about your grandson's illegal activities overseas when he was still studying in X University. There were solid evidences and we would like to take your son for questioning. Here's the arrest warrant for him." Lucian showed him the paper he was holding. Stefan had specifically asked him to handle this case because his team was very capable in solving matter and they don't take bribes either.
Lucian was a fair person as well, he would divide the work to those who weren't taking any cases to make sure that the credit won't go to him alone.
Julian clutched his chest when he saw what was written on the paper. He wanted to collapse and die from embarrassment.
"Grandpa, please believe me. I didn't do any of those things." Albert told his grandfather. "I must be framed up. Somebody framed me up!"
Julian rubbed his temple; the headache was just too much for his old age. "You can take him officers but I will be following with a lawyer. Please don't do anything to my grandson."
"No worries, Mr. Minato. We don't practice illegal detention." Lucian told him. "We'll be leaving now." He led Albert away from his family and brought him to the police station.
The Minato family brought their lawyer but in the face of solid evidences, Albert couldn't get away with the law. He raped one of his classmates and because the lady was poor, and could only study through scholarship, he gave her a hush money and asked her to leave the university. After that incident, he took fancy of the waitress in a café and asked someone to kidnap her. He had his way on her and because of too much drugs that she took from the juice that he forcefully told her to drink, she died on his bed. They threw her away and the body was found three days later. The family of the girl wanted to take justice for her but someone came and told them to keep quiet with a case of money. They accepted it and flee from the city. The third incident was when he hit someone. The child wouldn't have died if he brought him to the hospital but Albert didn't even step out to see what happened. He just drove away and the child died from loss of blood. There were so many charges and there were so many videos and pictures as evidence plus the testimony of those living victims.
In the end, he was sentenced to a life imprisonment.
"Grandfather, please seek justice for me. I didn't do any of those charges. I'm innocent. I'm framed up." Albert shouted towards his grandfather while he was being escorted away to be formally detained.
The Minato's young master became the food for gossip in city A on that day.
Albert gritted his teeth from anger and his eyes were bloodshot. 'I should've have killed all those b*tches! No one would be able to talk if they're dead. Damn it! I thought all evidences were erased!'
Right. All evidences were erased it's just that, Magnus contacted the 2nd top hacker in the whole world. And even if the Minato Clan invited the number one hacker in the whole world, he wouldn't help them either because he's already siding with Travis and Jillyanna. And Stefan was a friend of Travis. Anyone who wronged him will have to suffer.
Magnus watched the news from his laptop. Clara already left to go to her family and check what really happened but he excused himself of being sick to stay at home. "This is just the first step, my dear Clara. You broke what's mine so, I'll do the same with yours. I will expose how rotten your family is."
Just like his father, Stefan was also asking for payback. Right now, he was having lunch with one of the investors of Heavenly Bar that Kirin wanted to open in city D. Usually, he wouldn't pay attention to small businesses like bars. However, he found out that Kirin didn't just own Heavenly Bar, she also owned the Heavenly Spa and Sauna. And there were many branches of them. Kirin might be sharp-tongued and loved to look down on the poor but she's follows proper etiquette when it comes to business. She didn't do any shady deals and she treats her employees pretty good.
Since Stefan couldn't find anything wrong with her business, so he decided to attack her using the outside force.
"So, what do you say, Mr. Cuevas? Is my offer better? You can choose whichever ongoing project you can choose and I'll give you 5% of the shares even if your money doesn't equate to that amount." Stefan told the middle-aged man who was reading the contract her presented.
"I'm not doubting you, Mr. Dumrique." Mr Cuevas responded. "But I want to know why you're doing this to me? I mean, I am not very rich to become your business partner and I can only afford those small businesses."
"Because I don't want Heavenly Bar or Heavenly Spa and Sauna to expand. They offended my girl which is equal to offending me. Anyone who will invest to their business, small or big, I'll take them away."
"Oh. Then, I won't make enemies with a business giant like you." Mr. Cuevas didn't say anything anymore and just signed the contract after choosing the project that he wanted to invest. He chose the first supermarket that Stefan was working on which will be in city D. It will be easier for him to check the business since he's from the said city. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr. Dumrique."
"You're welcome Mr. Cuevas." Stefan stretched out his hand and they shook hands together. "Let's have a happy cooperation."
