Raphael seemed to be walking in a hurry down the corridor of the police station. A few minutes earlier, he, who had just finished work, was immediately approached by Mario, who was Tristan’s assistant. The man came with important news which of course made him very surprised.
“Mr. Raphael, I’m sorry to interrupt your time. But it looks like you should hurry to the police station right now.”
Raphael, who had just turned off the laptop in front of him, immediately looked up. The man’s brows were drawn in.
Of course, he was confused why Mario suddenly came to his room instead of telling him to go straight to the police station. Did Tristan report it? Or maybe there is something else that escapes his control. He chose to clarify directly to prove all the thoughts running through his mind.
“Police station? Why would I go there, Mario?”
Mario took a step forward. After his position was just right, he again answered questions from the man in the line of the leader of the Foxtail Corporation.
“Mr. Tristan just called that the authorities have arrested Alfonso Craigh Adelaide. Since he is currently in hospital, he has asked you to handle this case temporarily.”
Raphael’s eyes successfully widened. He was sure that what he had just heard was real. At that moment, he immediately asked himself whether Tristan had managed to catch Alfonso after reading the file he had left with detective Joseph earlier.
“So Alfonso has been caught?”
Mario nodded confidently. “Yes, sir. Mr. Tristan reported him on charges of both murder and shooting.”
“Shooting?” This time it was Raphael’s turn to look at each other’s eyebrows. Why did he miss so much news? “Who was shot? Don’t tell me it was Tristan who was injured?” asked Raphael timidly. Anxiety immediately appeared on his handsome face.
“No, Mister,” said Mario. “But it was Mrs. Sophia who her father shot. I don’t know for sure what the chronology is. What is certain is that by now, she has been taken to the hospital and is undergoing surgery.”
Raphael rubbed his face in annoyance. I felt sad and sorry to hear the news about Sophia being the victim of her father. Raphael knew very well that Sophia was a kind and polite woman. She is just a victim of the endless grudge between her father and husband. He didn’t deserve this kind of treatment, even more so that his life was threatened.
“You’d better go now, Mister,” said Mario when he found Raphael suddenly silent. “Mr. Tristan also reminded you to bring a team of lawyers to take care of this case.”
Raphael nodded. The man immediately grabbed the coat he slung behind the chair. Rising to his feet, he prepared to leave.
As soon as Raphael arrived at the investigation room, the officers immediately led him to enter. He was asked to wait a moment before finally being invited to face the rival he had always wanted to capture.
“I’m guessing you must be very happy to see me here.”
Alfonso immediately greeted when he found his friend sitting comfortably in front of him. While Raphael chose to smile. After a while, he answered.
“Not really. I feel sorry for you, Alfonso Craigh Adelaide.”
He looked deeply into his former best friend’s face. He chuckled a little, then continued to speak.
“Your over-ambitious ambition has cost too many lives. From Andrew, your Driver, and now? Your innocent daughter even feels what she shouldn’t be feeling.”
“There’s no need to lecture me,” Alfonso replied arrogantly. His calm expression showed he didn’t feel the least bit sorry for what he had done so far.
“My daughter was just too stupid to sacrifice herself for a man who hurt her. Do you think I’d be willing to see her now lying in the hospital protecting Tristan? Of course not, Raphael. Tristan has to make calculations with me!”
Raphael sighed softly. Seeing Alfonso still held on to his ego made him a little hot. Had he thought, prison seems like the man in front of him deserves to get for all the evil acts and behavior that has been done so far.
“Whatever? What do you plan to do,” asked Raphael casually? There wasn’t the slightest hint of fear on his face. The anxiety that once stopped is now gone. It has been replaced with an optimistic attitude because, in the end, he managed to catch the man he had been targeting.
“But, my advice is to repent quickly. Who knows, this is just the first warning that God has given you. Remember!” Raphael deliberately inclined his face.
“In this world, evil never wins. There are times when you have the upper hand. But once God’s hand works, he will blow a storm, and your fate will sink to the deepest pit.”
“You —-”
Raphael didn’t care. The man immediately got up from his seat, full of confidence. He left Alfonso, who seemed to be holding back anger because he had dared to advise him with such striking words.
