Along the way Arthur fell silent after getting a fact about the Jhonson family. The man still had a hard time believing what he had heard a few minutes ago. But Arthur did not want to swallow it raw, he also had to investigate. Moreover, other facts were very surprising about the genealogy of the Jhonson family which is not much different from himself and the Daddy
"Der, I can't believe that Uncle Matthew and his family are dead" he said after a long silence filled the cabin.
"Just like you, I don't believe it either." Darren is similar to Arthur, between unbelieving beliefs, but so far they have not found the existence of the Jhonson family.
And they again dissolve in each other's minds, until the driver stops the speed of his car when it is at the destination location.
"Mrs. Romanov, we are now at our destination." The driver's voice split the silence inside the car.
The jolted Arthur immediately circulated his gaze towards the surroundings. He noticed the luxurious Mansion that had once been stopped by the Jhonson Family. Now the place has changed hands, I don't know what happened at that time. Arthur could not find any evidence, even though he had already deployed his men including Darren.
"Investigate the case 11 years ago, Der. Check the CCTVs around the Mansion," he ordered without taking his eyes off the luxury building. "I'm sure the CCTV traces around here have been removed."
Darren's eyebrows look at each other when he hears Arthur's words. "Where did you know that?"
Arthur rubbed his chin, clearly if he was thinking. "You see that one end there?" His index finger pointed Darren at a point he found. And Darren followed Arthur's index finger to the point, he still didn't understand why Arthur pointed at something on the other end. "On top of that pole, shouldn't there be CCTV installed there? Look at the black cable as it breaks," he explained.
Darren tried to sharpen his vision, it was true there was a pole with a cable that was cut off, but he was not sure if it was a cable connected to CCTV.
"Didn't you notice when we went through the previous fork?" ask Arthur back. Darren answered no. "The pole in the fork is the same as the pole there," he said, pointing to the pole that became their talk.
Darren seemed stunned for a moment, he also examined carefully what was said by Arthur. "There is a resemblance." Yes, because Darren had accidentally seen a similar pole before.
"Not only similar but the same. There were two poles like that on the way here." Arthur insisted that it was the same pole. So it is likely that CCTV can be connected to CCTV which is at the end there.
Huh
Darren breathed a long sigh, it turned out that what Arthur said was true. I don't know why he didn't think that way. Since the trip they did not exchange ideas and even silence them because they were observing around. Arthur found a clue that they might be able to investigate, although the results would not be perfect. Because of the disappearance of the Jhonson Family there was definitely someone great behind him.
"I'm going to ask Gavin and Lim to investigate" Darren said. It was Gavin, Elden and Liam who always helped him, even those who worked on hacking some systems. Including looking for the whereabouts of the Jhonson Family.
"Now Der!" his orders are without dispute.
"All right." And Darren immediately reached into his phone that was in his coat pocket.
Darren immediately contacted one of the three sons of the former bastard. On the second dial, someone answered his call.
"Lim, I want you to hack the CCTV that's in Duurte Huiz City Center Amsterdam." Darren sends Arthur's orders to Lim, without further ado.
"Duurte Huiz?!" Liam across there is of course no longer surprised at Darren's request which is definitely an order from Arthur. "Okay, give me 24 hours. I have to connect the signal first." It takes time if hacking CCTV, different from hacking a computer system. Moreover, there will be a lot of CCTV around Duurte Huiz and he and the others will have to check one by one.
"I hope that in less than 24 hours you and the others have given me the information" Darren said.
Lim's breath was heard across there. "Okay, I'm working on it." Darren cleared his throat in response before then disconnecting his phone.
"We're getting out of here." Long Arthur sees the building and asks their driver to leave Duurte Huiz, the luxurious residence of the Jhonson Family.

But just 10 minutes into the car that Arthur and Darren were driving at moderate speed, someone was shooting at their car from behind.
"Shitt!!" Arthur's body is shaken when their car loses balance. With Darren. If only the two did not hold their respective bodies, it could be ascertained that both of them would be toppled forward.
"Mrs. Romanov, how's this? Why is the car behind shooting at our car?" The driver suddenly panicked.
Arthur sitting behind the steering wheel could see the panic of their driver from the trembling tone of voice. His hands stretched out patting the shoulders of their driver slowly. "Calm down, this won't last long" he said. Arthur's face assured them that they would be fine, so the driver nodded in confidence. "Der, you take over the wheel" he asked Darren. The driver heard what Arthur said, and he let Darren take his place, because his hands did not stop shaking.
After removing the seat belt, the driver moved to sit next to the steering wheel. While Darren immediately darted forward, his body was now immersed in the steering chair. It then increased its full speed to avoid the attack.
Luckily Arthur already had preparations by tucking the weapon under his clothes. "Der, I'll take care of them. You stay away."
"Good...." Darren's view remained straight ahead.
Arthur picks up the weapon he's hiding, then starts to open the car's glass. Before then gushing to and his body out of the window. Darren can see Arthur through the rearview mirror, he slightly reduces the speed to get Arthur's shot on target.

And the shootout was inevitable. Arthur ducked when the bullet almost hit his head.
"Der, go faster! Looks like there's a great sniper in the car." Arthur admits that if one of them is not an ordinary sniper, he can barely see the movement of the hand of someone who spewed bullets from a distance.
Faintly hearing Arthur's words, Darren opens the car's glass. "You should be careful Ar. We don't know who our enemy is this time!" Darren must shout so that Arthur can hear his words when the car he drove drove drove quickly.
Dorian
"Ck, fuck." Almost his arm was hit by a bullet if Arthur did not shirk. "Der, a little to the left!" added shouting.
"Be careful, Ar!" To be honest, Darren was very worried about Arthur who was fighting each other. It's true what Arthur said, in the car was a great sniper. Their movements cannot be predicted.
"What?!!" pekik Darren was surprised. "Why did you just say it now?!!" then shouted. If only their driver had told him sooner, he might have chosen another path.
"Sorry sir, I'm really panicking. I was so scared if anything happened to me. And..." His voice was stifled due to his fear when he was in danger like this. For the first time working as a driver, he experienced an attack that he had previously only seen on television. "I'm not ready to leave my wife and granddaughter" he muttered. With quivering lips, the driver poured out his heart.
Darren sighed slowly. He was focused on traveling at high speed, and avoiding attacks. "Calm down, you're going to go home all right. We won't let you get involved in our affairs" he said. Whether it can make the old driver calm down or not, Darren doesn't care. All he was thinking about right now was how to stop the car if it was at the end of the road there was a complete dead end. Moreover, the car he was driving had already let out sparks.

Arthur, who was really upset, attacked the black tire again. As a result, the car lost its balance until it hit the road barrier quite hard.
"Ar, dead end!" darren shouted as he looked at the bridge that was split and not yet fully formed.
"Damn!!!" Arthur growled in annoyance. The surrounding view is a little blurred. I don't know what's gonna happen if Killer gets his hands on him. "No! Not now!!" Arthur screamed as he woke up something inside him.
"Ar, are you okay?!" tanya Darren looked worried. Arthur did not respond to his words.
"Sir, how is this?" And the driver panicked when their car was going very fast and it was not possible for Darren to step on the brake pedal suddenly in a car that could not be controlled.
"I don't-it's okay Der!" his yell. "Arrgghh shit!" Arthur's head began to throb. "There's no other choice, we're plunging into the water!" then shouted.
"You're serious Ar?!" ask Darren to make sure.
"Yes, unless you want to die in a car that's about to explode" Arthur cheered.
"Jeez Ar. You're still kidding me!" darren Protest. "Can you swim?" the question then goes to the driver whose face is turning pale.
"Bi-can," he replied trembling.
"Then it's good. We're going to freefall" Darren said without a load.
The driver seemed unable to say anything more. I don't know who these two guys are with. Why be so relaxed in the face of danger that will lead to death.
"Oh, der shiitt! This is more fun than I imagined!!" arthur shouted before then,
Byurrrs
The luxurious black car plunged freely into the water. Luckily the seawater was not so deep that they immediately got out of the car that was about to sink.
His third breath was wheezing, especially the driver who was much older. His breathing was shorter than those two valiant men.
Arthur swam to the corals bare-chested, because his clothes were stuck between the doors of the car. Arthur started climbing up there. "Give me your hand" he told the old driver who was being helped by Darren. Of course Darren must be responsible for the safety of the old driver who should not be involved.
Hosh
Hosh
And Darren and the driver were already on the rocks with gasping breaths.
"Then how can we get out of this place, Mr. Romanov?" And the driver was getting cold, hugging his body with both hands.
"Just calm down, help's coming soon." At least Arthur was calmer, because Killer didn't manage to get hold of him.
Sure enough, not long reinforcements came by using speed boats. Not the Black Lion's men, but some men in police uniforms. Arthur had informed Pier before he flew to Amsterdam, because it just so happened that the man was on duty in the Amsterdam City Center.
"Ar, you're okay." Yes, the man was his university friend while in Germany who was also the son of Louis. It was only fitting that he suddenly resigned from the university and entered the police dormitory. He just wanted to follow in his father's footsteps.
"Yes, we're fine," he said flatly.
While Arthur talks to his police friend Pier Taylor, another police officer helps the driver board a speed boat. Do not forget to have wrapped a sheet of blanket to cover his old body.
Pier looked at Arthur with a sting. The man demanded an explanation from her. "No need to ask too many questions! Do as I said before. This is my business with them. So it has nothing to do with you and your members!" he said full of decisiveness. Indeed he did not want to involve anyone, including Pier who is a police officer.
Pier could only exhale deeply. Free he forced, his friend was always stubborn.
"Alright, I won't force it" he said raising both hands. "But if you need help, you can come to me" he continued.
"Hem, just calm down." Then Arthur took a speed boat. Following Darren who had been there first.
Pier could only shake his head. In the past, he could never force Arthur to rely on him. His friend had his own way of solving the problem.
