It's always dark as a dream. Juan has been sitting in the dark for several days. In addition to smoking and drinking water and forcing himself to eat, Juan is like half asleep and half awake.

There is more darkness in his heart than in his room. The buggers that Conan installed in his study have been completely dismantled.

In fact, Juan hopes that the buggers haven't been removed. He wants Claire to know what's going on. But Claire probably doesn't care.

Juan thinks he is ridiculous. He even wants to get sympathy after his failure.

He doesn't allow himself to degenerate, so he tries to sit at his desk. He is like the last king of a broken Kingdom, trying to maintain his dignity.

But even so, his dignity has been lost with the collapse of the plan. Juan thinks that if it has been before, he will have continued that plan and let Howard Group fail miserably.

But at the thought of Claire's refusal, he is not in the mood to carry out the plan of destroying Howard Group. Because it doesn't make sense anymore.

It turns out that getting Claire is more important than destroying Leo, but how can you get Claire without destroying Leo?

It can't be explained! For the first time, Juan feels that his logical ability is so terrible. He falls into a dilemma, which leads to his loss of interest and passion in everything.

It's better for him to stay in this closed room and quietly immerse himself in black.

Juan has turned off all his mobile phones, but the antique turntable phone on his desk rings and breaks the closed world Juan creats.

Juan seems to be fighting against himself. He is obviously tired of the ring but he doesn't hang up or answer.

He just watches the phone vibrate and his ears are mercilessly stimulated by the needle like sound.

...

In the end he fails. Juan sighs and picks up the phone. Before that, he expects Conan or Claire to call.

It's obviously not.

It's his goddamn men again.

"President Juan, all the plans you have arranged have been completed, but how to complete the following tasks?"

The man who calls is afraid to annoy Juan. Because he made several calls before. Juan hung up and shut down.

No one expects Juan to be a depressed man.

"..."

Juan doesn't answer. Although he is holding the receiver, he is expressionless and seems to be thinking about other things.

"President Juan? What about the plan?"

Juan says coldly, "if I don't have an order, don't act on it. If you call again, you can die directly."

The man knows that he is annoying Juan, so he doesn't dare speak again. He just hangs up quickly.

Juan smashes the antique desk phone on the ground, and the room returns to peace. Juan leans against the chair and everything looks calm.

But only Juan himself knows that his breathing is uneven.

...

Juan is not in the mood to continue to destroy Howard Group, so he does not sue Howard Group and does not continue to attack, which not only gives Luke a chance to breathe, but also brings Howard Group back to life.

The recovery process is very easy. The projects that were previously put on hold are restarted and spies are found out one by one.

Luke seems relaxed a lot. He's got a lot of energy in recent days. But Conan is always unhappy and has many things in mind.

Conan's computer screen keeps showing what's going on outside Juan's house. It is the seventh day, but Juan still doesn't come out of the room.

"What's the matter?" Conan frowns and wonders if Juan is desperate.

"How is it possible? Godfather, oh no, Juan is so calm. How could he be frustrated by this little defeat? I think so much." Conan shakes his head and rejects himself.

"No, maybe because what Mommy and I said that day is so heartless." Conan frowns again.

In fact, although Juan betrays Claire, he has always protected Claire. He just wants to destroy Howard Group. Howard Group has nothing to do with him. He does nothing wrong.

And what Juan does is for Mommy. Conan's heart is a little sad.

He does not allow Claire to be with men other than Leo, but Juan can pursue Claire. Even if what he has done this time is somewhat despicable, it's hard for him.

But...

It's understandable.

When Conan knows that Juan has closed himself up, he regrets his recklessness. Juan is a proud and powerful man but he has a heart. It means he has a chance to be hurt.

No one else can hurt Juan, but Claire and Conan can.

"..."

Conan can only sigh. In fact, when he learns that Juan's plan has completely stopped, he has a certain understanding of Juan's mood.

Claire won't go abroad with him again, so he stops carrying out the plan. In other words, this series of plans is not for Howard Group but Claire.

"Godfather, I didn't expect you to be so childish. Is Mommy so charming? The world of adults is really hard to understand..."

Luke sees Conan click the mouse bored and depressed.

"You said you want to help but you are lazy." Luke pats Conan on the head.

Conan hurriedly turns off the video of Juan's house on the computer screen, but it still seems to be seen by Luke. Luke doesn't care and goes on, "in a few days, the company will be completely on the right track, and then you can have a good rest."

Conan pouts and says, "these things are easier than playing games. And I gave some advice to people in the network department. I don't believe there will be any more spies in the future."
