“What does it mean to be lost?” Adriano stood up and stared intently at Pierre.
“Supervisors did not find a memory that negimpan the seconds you entered room 2205 and out of there an hour later,” said Pierre softly.
“How can? This is totally absurd!” adriano then clenched his hand again. He can already guess the sabotage done by Jacob.
“I've urged them to tell you the truth, Sir. However, they threatened to report me to the authorities, because it was considered to interfere with security and has been violent against the hotel,” Pierre explained again.
“Bring me on them!” Adriano Pinta. Immediately he stood up and stepped outside the room, so inevitably Pierre had to follow his wishes. The Frenchman directed Adriano to enter the elevator and move to the top floor, where the hotel security center is located. Pierre then knocked on the first door that was located closest to the elevator.
A man in a hotel security uniform opened the door. “I told you that we can't help you, Mister!” firmly the man immediately when he saw Pierre's face, even though the blond man had not had time to say anything.
“I brought my master here. He wants to meet you, ” said Pierre while pointing at Adriano who stood gallantly beside him.
The uniformed man exhaled a long breath before allowing Pierre and Adriano to enter the room. “It just so happens to have our manager here. You can directly talk to him,” said the officer lazily.
The man appointed by the security guard immediately stood up and greeted Adriano. “We apologize for this inconvenience, Sir. However, these are all orders from the superior," he said without waiting for Adriano to speak.
"Where is Mr La Roe? He used to be the owner of this hotel,” asked Adriano.
“This hotel no longer belongs to Mr. La Roe. He sold it a year ago,” replied the manager.
“Then, who is the owner now?” cecar Adriano's.
“I apologize, for not being able to say this to you. The new owner has stressed to us not to reveal his identity to anyone,” said the hotel manager.
“This is so unreasonable! Why would the owner of this place hide his identity? Is he afraid if his hotel will be sued, considering the power outage in a place like this is a very embarrassing thing and harm consumers. It also shows how unprofessional the hotel management system,” protests Adriano.
“Once again we deeply apologize, Sir. However, there is nothing we can do at the moment,” said the manager again while cupping his hands near the chest.
Adriano did not respond to the apology. He looked intently at the manager who seemed to be not much different from him. “Alright, I'll find another way to find the footage,” he said then before leaving the hotel security room and returning to his room.
“What will we do after this, Mister?” pierre asked as he opened the door for Adriano.
“Please open and identify the bugging device and mini camera installed in my handkerchief and ring,” the beautiful man said while removing the handkerchief and blue sapphire ring he wore. He then placed the two objects on a table full of electronic equipment.
One of his men received the object and tried to connect it with the monitor. Long enough he fiddled with the eavesdropper and recorder, until in the end he shook his head. “There is nothing here, Sir,”.
“What do you mean nothing? I've obviously turned on both devices since!” Adriano's tone began to rise.
“It looks like this tool has been broken,Master,” replied his men with a little fear.
“What does it mean to be broken? Didn't you test the device and give it to me?” Adriano is getting riled up.
At that moment, his phone rang loudly. An unknown number called him again. Adriano could have thought that it must be none other than Jacob. Immediately, he answered the call. There was no longer a calm look on the handsome man's face. “What do you want, Jacob!” his jolt without further ado.
“Ah, friend. Are you opening a recording of your wiretap? Too bad,” heard Jacob's soft laugh from across there. “Give up, Adriano. You better admit defeat. Your weakness is already within my grasp,” he continued in a satisfied tone
“Adriano D’Angelo, the most powerful black tiger. Let me remember something about you, my friend,”, Jacob said. “For people like us, love is troublesome at once can be a weakness. If you live alone without family, I would have trouble threatening you like this."
"Quite the bases, motherfucker! Tell me what you want!" angry with Adriano again.
“You won't find anything on your recorders and eavesdroppers, Adriano. Because when you enter room 2205, all electronic devices including your phone become malfunctioning. I've been scrambling electromagnetic waves in that room. You won't have any proof that you didn't do anything with the beautiful Miss Cantona. However, I have proof that you entered the room alone, then exited an hour later. I can't imagine what Florecita Mia would have said, had she received the tape.” Jacob ended his sentence with a big laugh.
“You ...” Adriano's chest rumbled. He felt like he wanted to pounce on Jacob right then and tear him apart with his bare hands.
“From strength and power, I may lose to you, Adriano. However, for ingenuity .. I was one step ahead."
“Did you lock the door of room 2205?” ask Adriano coldly.
“Not only room 2205, but rooms all over this floor have been locked. I did all that so your aide couldn't help. However, it turns out that this Mr. Corbyn is reckless as well. He shot the door leaf of the room you hired with a muffled gun. That's why he was able to get out of there and approach room 2205,” explained Jacob at length.
“Although unfortunately what he did was not much help, still I am in control," said Jacob proudly.
“So, you removed the CCTV camera memory of the hotel, Jacob?” adriano Terka.
“Of course. I can do anything at this hotel. Those lowly employees will not be able to prevent me,” Jacob jumawa said.
“Don't be a lowly employee, the owner of this hotel is in my grasp. He's willing to do whatever I want,”.
“What are you doing this for? What are you targeting me for!” adriano asked in a calm tone.
“I've told you many times, Adriano. I just want to work with you, my friend. I really need your help to get that flash. Everything will be easier if you support me,” Jacob replied casually.
“Then, what do you do if you get the flash?” ask Adriano again.
“We will rebuild this Killer X organization together. You and I, we will be an invincible great power,” Jacob said confidently.
“If I refuse?” Adriano raised one eyebrow.
“I'm sure you won't be able to resist it, because you won't be able to lose Mia,” Jacob said.
Adriano was about to reply to Jacob. But the man had already said, ”No. I didn't intend to kill him. Besides not being able to, I also did not dare. There's nothing I can make a tool to threaten if your beautiful wife dies.”
Adriano closed his eyes for a while, to hold back the anger that was about to burst out like a flood.
"I think it would be much more painful when Mia leaves you with a bad thought, than a horrible death for that woman.
I can give her CCTV footage and reassuring words for her to go take your beloved little princess with her, then that's more than enough. You can't live without them, Adriano.” Jacob's voice sounded calm and flat. He felt he had the upper hand.
“Tell me what you want,” says Adriano cold. For a while, he wouldn't fight Jacob. He'll follow whatever the guy wants. Adriano decides to follow Jacob's game, until later when he has a loophole to attack and destroy the mysterious man.
“As I explained earlier, my friend. Help me find the flash and we'll be able to rule the world together. Oh, yeah almost forgot. There's one more bonus. If my plan is successful, I will tell you where the Jungle Eagle is,” Jacob said.
