BIA Ch. 44
Irina was shot and killed on the spot as she was leaving my office on Adams Street with me. The KTW bullet that pierced Irina's heart was the same one that blew off the heads of Martino's gang at the rooftop bar. It was an unlike Lanius mistake. Targeting the heart instead of the head, and confusing the target. This incident completely changed Edgar Derby's passive attitude. It wasn't just because Lanius was finally targeting me. It was because of Irina. Her real name was Svetlana Andreyeva, and she was…-

From the start those guys who thought it was unfair that I, a non law student was getting grades in that class and started to sneer at me the moment they saw me. I waited quietly. Then finally when the words 'criminal's son' came out of their mouths I started throwing punches. There were more than twenty students from our school in that bar but no one stopped me. They must have all been waiting for this moment to come. But thankfully those friends all gave statements that were favorable to me during the…-

BIA Ch. 41
Chester's plan was half a success and half a failure. For starters, the Martino Family wouldn't even think about coming near Chester's territory again. Moreover, Chester—or rather, Manny—had cleverly only killed the small fry, so it didn't escalate into a war between organizations. Even if it did turn into an organizational fight, the Martino gang was the one that provided the initial cause, so we clearly had the advantage. Instead, Chester's reputation within the Kalisz Family was completely…-

Anyway, why did you reuse that name that you hated so much? After reading the report, I was more curious about that than anything else. Did you give up because you thought you would still be called Isaiah even if you gave it a different name? Your adoptive father's name is also Joseph, so did you just wanted to start a faithful new family with a familiar name. Anyway, I felt like I knew Chester’s intentions. I'm afraid of starting a war with the Martino family, but I can't just leave it at that.…-

“Are you saying I shouldn’t go to college?” “No, you should go to college.” But he said I should give up on graduating. “It’s best to get expelled as dramatically as possible. So that Cedric Kalisz might hear the rumors and come looking for you first.” As expected, Edgar Derby was planning to let me infiltrate into the Kalisz family. “The Kalisz family is doing pretty well these days. In situations like this, they would accept anyone at the bottom rung. If someone wants to…-

As the sequin jacket man disappeared into the crowd, Bran handed the money for the beer he had left to the server at their table. Isaiah only roused himself when the server departed with the empty beer bottle. “I… I’ll go.” “I’ll take you there.” “No, I’ll go alone.” Isaiah said quickly, “Manny called me here. He’s probably still nearby. Or, perhaps Chester’s men are. Even if it’s not that, just, just…” Isaiah backed away, stammering. “I’ll go to my…-

“I don’t know. It was in the cabinet.” Isaiah mumbled vaguely and sat down across from Manny. “So, do you remember anything?” “None at all.” Manny clicked his tongue as if he had expected this, then snapped his fingers at a server passing by their table. “Hey, Harvey. A bottle of Budweiser for me. And this one…” “Oh, I’ll have…” “Ginger ale.” Manny interrupted before Isaiah could finish his order. “What? Why are you ordering for me?” Isaiah…-

Bran remained unfazed. He simply spoke in a tone suggesting Isaiah’s words were incomprehensible. “That’s right. This is Isaiah Diaz’s memory, anyway. It’s not even a real memory, it’s a memory you created. It’s highly likely your brain is remembering information seen on television or the internet in the past and recreating it at will.” Bran’s tone was so certain that Isaiah became even more confused. Could it be? Is this really… a false memory I created? But if that were the…-

But surprisingly, the tea didn't taste bad. Bran's coffee, on the other hand… “How is it?” “Not bad.” For caffeine intake. His blunt response confirmed it was indeed just for show. Isaiah felt a pang of sympathy for some reason. His mood lifted, he took another sip of Darjeeling. The warm tea quickly warmed him. Taking off his varsity jacket and draping it over the sofa, Isaiah belatedly said, “Oh, right.” “Thank you for the clothes. I really hadn't expected you would buy…-

As they crossed the main road, a full-fledged shopping district unfolded before them. Bran naturally headed toward the largest street facing the boulevard. As is typical in such shopping areas, the most prime and expensive locations were lined exclusively with luxury brand stores, forming a high-end shopping avenue. “Do you have a favorite brand?” Bran asked, gesturing to the luxury stores on either side. The further they went, the fewer locals Isaiah saw and the more crowded it became with Chinese…-
