"Ehem!" Van came over to the cleaning service officer.
The officer was shocked and immediately looked in front of Van.
"What are you doing?"
"Um, it's a-Iโ I'm fixing a little problem here." Cleaners handle electrical problems? It's strange!
Van squinted his eyes. "I just found out that the job of the cleaning staff includes repairing electrical panels as well?"
"I-it's because ofโ a-I understand a little Mr." The officer replied in a stammer, as if he was confused to answer a question from Van that felt intimidated.
Feeling depressed the officer also bowed his head and immediately permission to continue his work. "Sir, excuse me to get back to work."
The employee left with Van dead along with the condition of the electric panel whose hood had not been closed. Van slightly understood the electric flow system, he also checked it to make sure the panel was fine.
"Nothing strange but...? Oh shit, I'm fooled!" Van just realized that there was a cable that seemed almost cut off. "Surely the man tried to cut him off." Van quickly ran after the suspicious man.
Van ran towards the rooftop because it looked like the man was going there.
"That's it!" Van's guess is right, the man was riding on the rooftop and was seen calling someone. The van from behind calmly approached the man, then immediately clamped his neck and snatched his phone.
"Hello!" Van tried to find out who the person who was connected to the cleaning service, but unfortunately the conversation was immediately cut off at that time. "Hello! Shit cut!"
"Take me off!" Said the man in uniform cleaning service. He tried to fight Van but by Van his legs immediately paralyzed for a while.
"Take me off! I'm just a man! Off! I beg!" His screams asked Van to release him immediately.
"Who told you to? And what purpose did others tell you to do. Tell me or I'll break your neck!"
"Ba-well uhuk, ta-but let go of my le-her I su-difficult to face Mr."
Van took his hand off the man's neck.
"Explain it to me!" Urge Van.
Finally the man also told me that he was just a man who called himself mister M. The man claimed that he really needed a lot of money for the cost of his wife who wanted to give birth, and his son who wanted to go to school, while the salary as a cleaning service is not how much.
"Are you also the one who threw the stone with the word threat and the guy in the elevator who was wearing a hoodie that night?"
"Yes sir yes, it was me, I who threw stones with paper inscribed with threats, I also tried to kidnap Miss Lara that night but failed because you came instead. I-I was really forced to do it.." Reveal the man while crying.
Look at Van's eyes so cold. "You know what you've done it's called not knowing yourself! Don't you realize? Miss Lara has been good at giving you a job at Miracle but this is your reply?!" Van said.
"But I need money! The man named Mister M offered me a hundred thousand dollars if I wanted to do what he told me to do. That money to me is a lot, and I need it."
Van laughed mockingly. "So you're willing to sell your soul just for money how little is that? You idiot!"
The man looked up at Van. "What do you mean sell souls?"
"Sell souls in the sense that you'll die in my hands soon!"
The man was frightened to see the look in Van's eyes as if he wanted to kill him.
"For me, whoever dares to hurt Miss Lara then I will have her destroyed!"
"Master forgive me... I really need money huhu.I beg you not to fuck me." The man worshiped Van's legs. "You're disgusting!" The van, who hated such a gesture, immediately slipped the man's hand from his foot. "Basic humans don't know thank you!"
"Master forgive me... Don't kill me, I have a son and a wife..." The man continued to pray and begged even to rest in front of Van.
The van that had the mark of wanting to kill this man somehow changed his mind. He thought that this man could be taken advantage of someday.
"Stand up!" Van's Order.
The man also painstakingly stood up as much as possible.
"I'll give you one chance as long as you have to obey what I ask."
The man still seems to think.
"Good sir, I will obey whatever you command." The man finally obeyed what Van said.
"Good! But you have to remember, if you're caught intending to betray me once, then don't blame me if your daughter and wife will bear it!"
"Yes sir I swear to you"
"Wait."
"What else Mister?
"What's your name?"
"My name is Riko."
"Riko, before you leave Miracle, take this!"
Van gave Lucas a 100-thousand dollar check
"This?" The man looked confused holding it.
"Take the money away!"
"Te-thank you, sir, you are so generous" he said.
"Remember, I'm not the type to give twice, so don't let me down."
"Pa-know sir I'll remember that."
"Now get out of here!" Banish Van. He's massaging his temple. "Who is mister M he referring to? I've never heard of mister M, does he have a grudge against Miracle?" Van's getting curious.

In her room Lara still continued to think about Jeden's words in the meeting room earlier. On the one hand he was offended by Jeden's words but on the other hand he felt Jeden's speech was a painful fact that he was not aware of. "Maybe what Jeden said was true, compared to Father and Grandfather, my dedication to Miracle was okay," Lara said, followed by a smile of sadness. Lara's confidence in being able to lead the Miracle seemed to start to waver.
Dong ding! Suddenly the bell in Lara's room rang.
"Lake in.." said Lara.
"What's wrong?" Van asked towards Lara. From where he stood he could see the look on Lara's face that seemed to be sad.
"Miss Lara are you not feeling well?"
Lara shakes.
"Then Miss why does it look so sad?"
"I'm just not in the mood for work."
"Then?"
Lara suddenly looked towards the clockwork. "It's late afternoon." Lara got up from her chair wearing her blazer and carrying her bag.
"Where's the hell is the hell you going?"
"Van I want you to take a walk" said Lara.
Van believes there is something Lara is thinking, but she does not want to ask what she is thinking, for fear that it will make her even sadder.
"Van why dumb, come on!" Take Lara who has gone first.
"Good" Now following what he wants is the right thing I do.
