Seven years after his mother's tragic death, Angelus Griego's father, Simon Griego, made a life-changing decision to marry a wealthy businesswoman with a troubled past and a sick child. Angelus, known for his charm, intelligence...

"Ito na ba ang lahat nang iyon?" I asked while skimming the papers placed in a brown envelope.
I have been busy these past few days because of my new product and with Farida. I barely have time to come here to Valhalla. Kung hindi pa dumating ang mga papeles na ito ay baka hindi na talaga ako pumunta.
"Why? Don't you trust the intelligence of Valhalla?" Gunther leaned on his recliner, watching me seriously.
"I don't understand. If these are the only dirt I can dig, does that mean he isn't as dirty as I thought? If these are the only stains he has, I'm dirtier than him, then." I grinned.
Smuggling of firearms and drugs, killing his childhood friend and secretary, and tax evasion. These are hefty crimes, but not enough to convict someone like him without evidence. I thought I would learn more. People like him are more likely to engage in illicit commerce.
He's in politics; it's easier for him to pull strings and hide in the shadow of his position. Kung gaano kataas ang pribilehiyo niya, ganoon din kalala ang mga maaaring masasamang ginagawa niya.
"It's either Valhalla's intel is starting to get rusty or that bastard is just cleaner than you."
I looked at Gunther. "I don't think it's the latter," I said.
"Are you saying we're weak?" He tilted his head to the side, his eyes solemn and cold.
"That's not what I meant. Digging up information about people like Escalante will never be easy. I know that from the start. There's a possibility that he was already alerted that someone was sniffing him." I put the papers down, intertwined my fingers, and smiled at Gunther. "But isn't this exciting? Ristan Escalante is smart; it's not bad to play with someone powerful like him."
I am aware of reality. I can't take him down alone. I need support. For example, Valhalla's intel. Valhalla is an organization filled with elite members. Everyone has their own impact in the corporate sector, both legal and illegal.
We have connections underground; that's why obtaining information is an easy task for us. But it's different when it comes to evidence. Our security is very tight, too. They are well-trained and very loyal. Plus, this organization has Neziah Riegrova, the producer of our high-caliber weapons. That maniac is a menace, but his brain is very out of this world. Fortunately, Abel got that man wrapped around his fingers.
"What are your plans, then? If you're feeling hopeless, don't hesitate to ask Abel and the others for help."
"Why them? Hindi ba puwedeng ikaw? "I raised a brow, grinning teasingly at my cousin.
