"Hmm, Seung-Heon, why did I never think of him?, Yo-han we are in Country P, we don't have much influence whereas if it's really Seung-Heon, he's got the Jin family backing him we can't afford to start a fire we can't control." Na-Gil tried to convince Yo-han, the fellow was burning with rage and he seems not to understand what the situation is.
It's a matter of influence, right now what Yo-han needs is an ally, a strong one. "Yo-han, we need to garner influence and power, how about we find an ally to get you out of this place?" Na-Gil asked, he placed his hands on Yo-Han's shoulder and tapped on it.
"Ally?, Hmm, No, PiA will get me out of here!" Yo-han shrugged Na-Gil's hands off his shoulders.
"Think about it, this is a scandal, the news of your arrest will be every where in no time, your reputation is on the line." Na-Gil tried to convince Yo-han but from the expression on Yo-Han's face, he could tell that Yo-han might not change his mind. 'What's wrong with finding an ally that will go against the Jin family and help you get out of here, even if you would have to repay the favor, it's not like there's much to lose'. Na-Gil thought.
Yo-han noticed Na-Gil zoning out therefore he explained himself. "Na-Gil, I understand your concern but do you think Jin Beom-Seok will stop?, As long as I am still here, he will relax, that's the chance for me to launch my attack. If I don't get the deal on this trip, why not use the opportunity to scare the Jin family a little?"
"Yo-han!, launching an attack in their territory?, Are you joking? Are you seeking death?" Na-Gil exclaimed but with a low voice.
There was awkward silence in the room for a while. Yo-han relaxed in the chair while he watched as Na-Gil was busy processing what intentions Yo-han has or probably why he isn't thinking straight. He had no idea where Yo-Han's confidence sprung out from. 'You are in enemy territory Mr!'
He stood up from the seat and started pacing to and fro in the room, he will stop for a moment to speak but the words seem to stop at his throat then he will resume pacing back and forth. After watching him like that for about two minutes Yo-han broke the silence. "Tell my mother that Kim Hyun-Jun sent me to jail. That's all you need to do."
Yo-Han's words caused Na-Gil to stop his movements. He glanced over at Yo-han with no idea of what Yo-Han is planning to do? He raised his brows in confusion and asked. "Wait, what are you doing?"
"Just do as I say?" Yo-han commanded. His anger had started to dawn in the room. Na-Gil felt it, yes that aura, it's life-threatening. Is he getting angry over an ordinary discussion. 'I guess I have to put a call through to madam Min then. At least this fellow has a plan, I just don't understand how this will get him out of here.'
"Leave now!!" Yo-han yelled at Na-Gil this time causing the fella to scurry away to make the phone call.
"Jin Beom-Seok, let's play." Yo-han said and a maniacal laugh echoed the room.
_
Kim Hyun-Jun walked into a large room followed by two groups–few gangsters wearing tiger embroidered bandanas and a group of bodyguards in black suit. They all stopped at the entrance of the room leaving the man alone to proceed beyond the doors. It's a large golden steel door.
Without a knock on the door the man pushed the door open and strode in. Inside the room was an old plump man who was receiving a phone call. The moment the old man noticed Kim Hyun-Jun walking in he waved at him. Kim Hyun-Jun bowed to the old man and walked over to the couch to relax.
"..., Hey, Just do what I tell you to do!!!" The Old Plump man, Jin Beom-Seok shouted into the cell phone and ended the call. He turned his gaze to Kim Hyun-Jun's direction, then a broad smile sneaked it's way up his face.
"Hyun-Jun, you know what, I have a good news and I was just about to call Do-Joon to fly over, I didn't even know that you are on my radar." Jin Beom-Seok laughed merrily as he poured himself and Kim Hyun-Jun a glass of wine each. He walked over to the couch and handed the other glass to Kim Hyun-Jun.
Kim Hyun-Jun received the glass and placed it on the coffee table. Jin Beom-Seok eyed Kim Hyun-Jun skeptically and asked, "Why are you not drinking?"
Kim Hyun-Jun smiled and replied, "It's too early to drink, I have other places to be and I must be as sober as I possibly can. Tell me, what good news is it?"
Jin Beom-Seok's expression darkened, he felt that this nephew of his is hiding something from him. He took another glance at Kim Hyun-Jun's face, with his mind bubbling with paranoia. It wasn't until he saw the sincerity in Kim Hyun-Jun that he warmed up. Not that he was completely without doubt, but at least he manage to display a cheerful demeanor.
"Hmm... okay, I just got KimJin a jackpot. There's this deal that just slip off the hands of an unlucky fellow and I am making it KimJin's lucky day by getting Do-Joon an appointment with IHTC, the deal is his... Hehehe. Okay. Ehm, there's this youngster who angered someone he shouldn't and I had to get rid of h..." Jin Beom-Seok was interrupted by the chiming of Kim Hyun-Jun's phone. Kim Hyun-Jun stood up from his seat the moment he saw the caller ID, he smiled to himself and faced the plump man.
"Sorry, I have to take this call, I will be outside." Kim Hyun-Jun excused himself and walked towards the door. He didn't get to touch the door before Jin Beom-Seok stopped him. "Hyun-Jun, What's the big deal, you can do it here, feel free. Answer the call." Jin Beom-Seok said, putting Kim Hyun-Jun in a difficult situation.
The uncle and nephew duo hid nothing from one another, well it might not be vice versa, but at least Kim Hyun-Jun hides nothing from Jin Beom-Seok. But this situation, Min Ju-Eun chose to call him at this moment. It definitely must not be known by Jin Beom-Seok that she had returned to Country S and that he had been seeing her frequently. Therefore he can't answer the call here, in front of Jin Beom-Seok else they would stir trouble for the innocent woman. Not to mention what will happen when they discovered that Yo-han is her son. They never even knew she had a child.
For this reason he shouldn't receive such a call here. He smiled at Jin Beom-Seok and said, "Come on Uncle, I know you miss this nephew but it will only take a few minutes." He said that and walked out of the office-like room.
He walked to a secluded spot in the building before answering the call. A loud angry voice rang into his ears the moment he answered. "KIM HYUN-JUN!!!, RELEASE MY SON NOW!!! Or you will lose your chance to be his father." The sounds hit his eardrums harshly. He immediately removed the phone from his ear, looked at his phone in a daze, and ask himself, 'Did the usual cheerful Min Ju-Eun just yell at me over the phone?'
"Ju-Eun, what are you talking about?" Confusion was evident on his face, he could not comprehend why Min Ju-Eun became like this.
"Oh, don't play dumb with me, did you not put Yo-han in jail? Don't try to fool me or you will never be able to call him son anymore!!!"
"Ju-Eun, I don't know what---" The beep sound confirmed that she ended the call already. He stood there more confused. He still could not understand what's wrong. 'What just happened? Did she just accuse me for putting Yo-han in jail. I am not even in Country S, What's going on?'
He turned around and returned the way he came. He was only a few steps away from where he stood when he remembered something. '...Ehm, there's this youngster who angered someone he shouldn't and I had to get rid of him...'
If there is someone who will always anger people, Yo-Han is a likely candidate, he even anger Kim Hyun-Jun before they realized the bond they shared. Then someone so annoying to anger people could be Yo-Han, that means Jin Beom-Seok has him captive, right?.
His eyes widened at the sudden realisation. "What?!!!" He immediately dashed forward to Jin Beom-Seok's room. Panting heavily as he reached the threshold. "Uncle Jin, that boy..." he took time to breathe then continued, "You can't have him captive. He can't be in jail. Set him free now."
"Hyun-Jun, is something wrong with you, this is your rival you want me to release, I can't do that. What about the business deal, will you just let it slip away? This is IHTC we are talking about, we both know what they worth. Sorry I can't do that." Jin Beom-Seok replied followed by an creepy chuckle.
