Victor and Narding were friends since childhood. However, they both have opposite lives. Victor live in a violent family where his father would often abuse his mother physically, while Narding went to the seminary to become a priest. This resulted him to live a life of crime as a member of a syndicate led by Spade. When Spade decided to rob a bank, he had Victor do the job. But he was arrested. While in jail, Narding now a priest visited Victor and told him that his parents died in a vehicular accident. After visiting his parents' wake, Spade came and there, Victor asked for his share of the crime. Victor was eventually released. He gained the trust and respect of a group of youths who are Narding's students. This made Narding furious and told him not to drag the boys to evil.

With the help of Vivian, a tabloid reporter and Victor's childhood neighbor, she would find a way for Victor to change. As for Victor, he used Vivian to publish a report on Spade's syndicate and a police colonel Marino is their protector. Marino then called Vivian telling him that there will be a big surprise for her at nightfall. By nightfall, Vivian's mother Mameng was murdered by Colonel Marino. Victor would later kill Colonel Marino and called Vivian about his final encounter with Spade. Narding asked Vivian to call the police to end bloodshed. Victor fought Spade and his men and they were all killed. Narding came and asked Victor to surrender. However, Victor insisted that it's already too late for him to change. A policeman shot Victor from afar. Vivian came and asked him not to fight back.

Victor was arrested and convicted of multiple murder. He was given a death sentence and his execution came a year and a half later.
