CHAPTER 55: PRS 54

Before leaving the room, filled with the scent of aphrodisiac, Isabella activated a live broadcast on their phones, setting them up beforehand, so that their lovemaking tonight could be seen by many and go viral within hours.

"Perfect," Isabella murmured, making sure the camera was at the right angle. "This will be a truly memorable debut for you two."

The sound of lustful music from inside the room began to echo down the hallway, letting anyone who heard it know exactly what was happening behind the closed door.

Isabella and everyone else were sitting relaxed in the living room, watching Galih and Nino’s live broadcast without realizing it. The laptop screen displayed the rapidly increasing viewer count.

To ensure the two became famous overnight, as they hoped, Isabella helped them increase traffic to their live broadcast by sharing the link to various forums and social media groups using anonymous accounts.

"No wonder they’re called the top playboys in the student city," Siva commented, observing the screen with a mixture of disgust and amazement. "Besides being experts at attracting the opposite sex with their sweet talk, their bedroom game is also quite hot and experienced. But unfortunately, this time their partner isn’t what they expected."

"Enough, enough. Why are you watching such a disgusting broadcast?" Alexo said, covering Siva’s eyes with his large hands and immediately turning off his phone to block out the live broadcast, which he deemed inappropriate. "Your eyes are too pure to see something like this."

"Yes, yes, you’re overreacting," Siva protested, slapping Alexo’s hand away in exasperation.

Seeing the numerous negative comments berating the two with harsh and angry words, Isabella, who logged in anonymously, added fuel to the already raging fire, making the situation even more chaotic.

"Shameful! A rich kid can behave like this!"

"Shameless! The Armada family has indeed fallen!"

"A scumbag playboy! No wonder his girlfriend left him!"

Because the Armada Group had disappeared from the Armada family’s hands and was no longer owned by the Armada family after being acquired by Isabella, the remaining good name the family had worked so hard to maintain was instantly lost due to the stupidity of one man, Galih Armada, after his live broadcast was viewed by tens of thousands of people in a matter of hours and became a hot topic online with various trending hashtags.

**Bang!**

"Stupid, shameless child! You’re shameless!" shouted Antam Herlambang, Nino’s father, enraged after receiving an emergency call from his personal assistant in the middle of the night, telling him to immediately watch his second son’s live broadcast. His hands were shaking with rage.

"Patience, Dad, please be patient. Please calm down," Hana, Nino’s mother, tried to calm her husband, whose face was already bright red and ready to explode. "Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. Maybe the video was edited or staged."

"What a misunderstanding?! This is a live broadcast, not a recorded video!" Antam snapped loudly. "Just look at your shameless son’s behavior!"

Antam immediately handed over the phone that was still on during Nino’s live broadcast, with hundreds of thousands of viewers. Hana stared with her mouth wide open, unable to believe her son had strayed so far and done something so embarrassing in public.

"Oh my God... Nino... my son..." Hana whispered in a trembling voice, tears welling in her eyes. "How could he be like this?"

"Haven’t I told you many times before, stay away from the Armada family!" Antam said in frustration as he paced back and forth. "They’ll only drag us into destruction! But Nino never listens to my advice. Now look what’s happened! What if it’s like this? I’m sure the company’s shares will be affected tomorrow morning. Grand Group could be destroyed because of his stupid actions!"

If it had been a recorded video, Antam might have been able to deny it and claim it was a photo-editing or deepfake deliberately created to tarnish his family’s reputation. But this was a live broadcast with viewers increasing every second, so he couldn’t do anything anymore and had to accept this bitter fact and swallow it whole like a bitter pill stuck in his throat.

If only Nino and Galih’s five co-stars were women, they could still provide an alibi if their child had fallen into bad company or been influenced by bad friends. The problem now is that all five of their co-stars are men. This is a taboo in this still very conservative country. No matter what excuse Antam comes up with to turn the tide, it won’t clear his family’s good name quickly, and perhaps never will.

"What will happen to Nino?" Hana asked frantically, holding her husband’s arm. "He’ll definitely be bullied like hell. His future could be ruined!"

"He should have thought before he acted!" Antam replied bitterly.

Hana sat restlessly on the sofa, holding her phone with trembling hands, trying to find her son’s whereabouts through various apps and quickly stop the indecent live broadcast before more people saw it.

"Nino, answer the phone, honey... Mom, please..." she whispered, calling repeatedly, but there was no answer.

Meanwhile, Antam paced back and forth anxiously with his cell phone pressed to his ear, speaking sternly to the men he had deployed to search for Nino by any means necessary.

"How is it? Have you found his location yet?" Antam asked impatiently.

"According to the GPS we’re tracking on his phone, the young master is currently in the Ruby Land area, a luxury housing complex in the student city, sir," said one of the IT team deployed to track Nino’s whereabouts using sophisticated technology. "We’ve sent the coordinates to your phone."

Upon hearing that Nino was in the student city, not another city as the fake GPS had indicated, Antam immediately contacted the professional bodyguards assigned to locate Nino and bring him home by any means necessary.

After failing to find the young master in his luxury apartment or his private home where he usually partyed, they noticed Nino’s sports car still in the garage alongside Galih’s car, indicating that a friend was picking them up. They immediately drove to the location after reporting everything to their boss.

"Go to Ruby Land now! Don’t waste time!" Antam commanded firmly. "I’ve shared the location key on all of your phones. By all means, capture and bring those two troublemakers before me immediately! I don’t care how much it costs to get in there. What’s important is that you bring Nino home now!"

***

Isabella, watching from her laptop as several black cars headed toward the location she’d designated as Nino and Galih’s location, smiled with satisfaction as her plan worked perfectly.

"Everything’s going according to plan," she muttered as she typed something rapidly.

She then began hacking into the security system of the Grand Group, a company owned by the Grand family, with her hacking skills. Her fingers danced across the keyboard rapidly.

If the company was proven to be cheating and harming the public or engaging in corruption, Isabella would not hesitate to destroy it down to its roots. But if it was clean, she would let it stand.

"Do you also want to acquire Grand Group like you did Armada Group?" Alesio Xander asked curiously, observing Isabella’s serious expression. "Looks like you have a big plan."

"Let’s take a look at the data thoroughly first," Isabella replied, continuing to focus on the laptop screen. "If they’re clean and haven’t committed fraud, then I’ll let them continue operating. But if they’re proven to be playing dirty, committing fraud, or harming consumers, then I won’t hesitate to destroy them overnight. I don’t like dishonest businesspeople."

Seeing Isabella busy with her laptop displaying various codes and financial data, Alesio Xander stopped bothering her and began to busy himself with his iPad, doing what he had to do to finish his pending business.

This time, he really wasn’t going to let foreman Dito and his men get away with it after daring to set a dangerous trap in Isabella’s house.

"They have to pay," Alesio Xander muttered with sharp eyes.

Turning them over to the police was too easy and wouldn’t have a deterrent effect. He wanted to teach the chubby, mustachioed man a lesson he’d never forget—a lesson they’d regret forever.

The hours passed quietly. The sound of "melodious" singing in the room on the second floor could no longer be heard after almost four hours without stopping, making Isabella immediately enter the room with a mask covering her nose and mouth.

As soon as she entered, the strong scent of lovemaking wafted through the air, causing the beautiful girl to contract her nose for a moment and nearly choke.

"Damn! The smell is so strong! It feels like walking into a neglected public bathroom," she muttered disapprovingly, covering her nose with her hand. "Ugh, so disgusting!"

Isabella immediately opened the balcony door wide to allow the scent to dissipate into the night breeze, and she resolved to never use this room again for rest in the future. Perhaps she would completely renovate or even demolish it.

"Take these five gigolos to the back room to rest," Isabella ordered her bodyguard. "Give them an extra bonus for their hard work tonight. And for these two," Isabella pointed to Nino and Galih, who were lying unconscious, "clean them thoroughly and send them back to their respective homes before morning. Make sure no one sees."

Before cleaning them, Isabella administered selective amnesia pills and impotence pills to the still unconscious Nino and Galih, using the same method as before.

"This is your punishment, so you won’t destroy the futures of innocent people again," Isabella whispered coldly, staring at the two men with a merciless gaze. "You’ve ruined too many lives. Now it’s your turn to experience destruction."

It may seem cruel, but for sex offenders like Nino and Galih, who have committed similar acts repeatedly, this kind of punishment is deserved, as many victims have suffered as a result of their uncontrolled and irresponsible lust.

With the permanent effects of the Phoenix System pills, they will never be able to be real men and have children. Their reproductive function will be permanently lost.

This kind of punishment, besides stopping them from committing crimes against other women, could also plunge them into severe depression, as they will no longer be able to be normal men as they should be. They will live with regret forever.

***

The next day, as predicted, Grand Group’s shares fell drastically since the market opened that morning. Although it didn’t plunge to the point of bankruptcy, it certainly caused the company billions of rupiah in losses and began to shake investor confidence.

Fortunately, Grand Group is an honest company with a solid track record in business, so Isabella avoided the risk of closing down or going bankrupt altogether.

"They’re clean," Isabella muttered as she closed her laptop. "There’s no fraud or misappropriation of funds. Let’s just let them survive."

All they could do now was issue an emergency press release and have their corrupt son issue a sincere public apology before sending him abroad, preventing him from further impacting the company’s stability and allowing the public time to forget about this scandal.

Fortunately, their capital was very strong and their business foundation solid. Despite being hit by a storm as powerful as this, Grand Group remained strong, albeit shaky.

The honesty and cooperation they had maintained with their business partners for decades also saved the company in this critical situation. Many long-time partners remained and offered their support.

This was certainly a great blessing for the Herlambang family, who were determined to resolve the problems created by Nino as quickly as possible so that public trust would not be lost forever and the company could recover.

Meanwhile, the two men who had caused a stir online overnight and become trending topics on all social media platforms had just woken up, dazed and completely confused.

Thanks to the selective amnesia pill Isabella had administered, given them just the right dose, they only remembered that they had promised to meet at this house to "have fun" with a beautiful girl, with no memory of what they had planned or what had happened the night before. Their memories of the evil plan had been completely erased.

What they were feeling now was intense pain all over their bodies, especially their backsides, which were so painful it was almost unbearable. Even Nino, who had a regular bowel movement every morning, couldn’t get out of the bathroom because the deepest part of his buttocks was so painful, he cried in pain in the bathroom, hugging his knees.

"Why does it feel like I’m being stabbed?" Nino groaned hoarsely. "What happened last night? Why don’t I remember anything?"

In the next room, Galih also felt the same thing and started to panic when he saw his body covered in bruises.
