Vincenzo's POV

So, I reached Geumga Plaza and approached Mr. Hong to discuss the papers I needed from Babel.

...

"Why don't you trust me?" I asked, feeling conflicted. He looked at me and after a few words, he finally agreed.

I let out a sigh, relieved that I had earned his trust, even if it was just a little.

He called for Nam Ju Seong, or Mr. Nam for convenience, to bring me the papers.

Mr. Nam did as instructed and handed me the papers. I took them with a slight bow to show my gratitude.

And with that, I started my work.

After I went with Mr. Hong and got that idiot in his company with a fake file, he knew how weak he was in front of me and decided to give in.

I think I gained Mr. Hong full trust by that scene.

"One plus one... I like that. I think I'll be using that," he said confidently. I smiled, feeling victorious, and headed back to the Plaza.

I wanted to go to Babel to check things out, but I decided to leave it to Vic and not confuse her.

As I was on my way, my phone rang. It was Vic. I glanced to my side and saw Mr. Hong busy on his phone.

I answered the call, saying, "Yeah?" I was confused about why she was calling me. "There's a problem," she said, sounding worried. I gestured for her to speak.

"I overheard someone talking about killing someone in Geumga Plaza, but I couldn't catch the name," she explained. I sighed, knowing something like this would happen.

"But wait, there's more," she took a deep breath. "One of the names mentioned was Mr. Hong, I think he's Chae Young's father. The other name is still unknown to me, I'm sorry," she finished.

"It's okay, you did great actually. I had a feeling something like this would happen, but I didn't expect it so soon. Thank you, sis," I thanked her sincerely.

"Please be careful, they said it would happen soon. If you need any help, just call me. You know I'm capable of a lot," she said, her voice filled with confidence.

I smirked, knowing that I might need her assistance for sure. "Thanks again, if anything comes up, give me a call," I told her. She replied with a small "ok" before ending the call.

...

"So that's Italian? Definitely one-of-a-kind," Mr. Hong complimented, and I smiled, responding with a small 'thanks.'

I gotta keep an eye on this guy. Babel's got some nerve trying something like that. Well, I guess you could say they're used to it...

Victoria's POV

Why would they plan that? There's definitely something fishy going on. I've got to find out the other person's name and who was talking. It sounded like a woman, and I have a feeling I'll come across her soon.

As I left the hallway, I made my way to the cafeteria for some coffee. Looks like sleep will be a luxury tonight with everything going on.

I found a table with two chairs and sat down, sipping my coffee with a sigh of relief. Man, they really serve the best coffee here.
