Hans' eyes widened in both shock and disbelief. His heart was beating miserably as his eyes looked up and saw the dangerous expression of Yeonwoo.

But before he can make his moves, a certain hand reaches his clothes and the small camera hidden beneath those was completely broken. His sight paused at the floor while his tears started to flowed down on his cheeks down to the ground.

"I don't intend to forgive someone who wants to kill me...twice."

Yeonwoo's face was ice-cold and the voice his mouth carried was chilly enough to feel the coldness and dangerous of those words possessed. His scarlet eyes shifted on the floor where the broken camera was smashed into pieces. He let out a satisfied smile and returned his gaze on the kneeling maid, who until now did not speak a single word and was violently tremble in despair.

"You know that this room was soundproof and no matter how much...you yell or shout...no one will be able to hear you. No one will perceive that inside this room...your every flesh and skins will dyed in this carpet."

"N-No! Young master...please forgive me!"

The cries of the maid was getting louder and louder. All those tears and sweats mixed on his face was making him appeared powerless and...regretful. He regretted the idea of accepting the command of Jiyeon. He regretted the thought of killing Yeonwoo in just a second. Now, Hans feel like this is the end. But he refused to believe that and wants to use all that he have just to survive.

"I-I will do anything…young master!"he begged consistently.

Slowly...a smile crept on Yeonwoo's lips. His slender fingers gently touched the face of the maid and lifted it up, to have the same level as his eyes. A pair of scarlet orbs unintentionally curved towards the pitiful maid.

"You will do anything?"his voice was soft and serene, but Hans knew the meaning of this tone. That underneath this sugarcoated voice was hidden a dangerous claw. But he was now left with no choice.

"I will do what young master said."

Yeonwoo finally nodded and let go of his face. He straightened his back and the mocking smile never left on his face.

He was not worried about the plot changes in this outcome. The watcher was not here and cannot discern the changes of the plot. As long as Yeonwoo won't interfere openly, the watcher won't notice his schemes. Thinking about this...his smile deepened.

"Good. I have a perfect job for you."

Sobin stared deeply at the opposite side of the table. Then his gaze turned down on the pieces of papers displayed on the table. His hand was trembling as it reaches towards the certain files.

"When you call me that the fire was not really an accident, I review all the investigation of the past prosecutors. And finally concluded that...it was indeed man-made."

Sobin's heart throb in agitation as his eyes slowly scanned the content. In every phrases his face will changed from time to time. And finally his face entirely turned ugly as it reached the specific part.

"As you can see...all the prosecutors that you hired was also been hired by the person who caused this fire." the prosecutor paused and observed his face before he continued, "I want you to think of some possible candidates responsible for framing you and for this accident."

The Prosecutor was well-known in the country. He was excellent in all aspect and there were no cases that he had failed. His face was ordinary but his appeal and aura was severe and fierce, making his age appeared older.

Sobin put down the documents and recite the people he had interacted with. But...he did not find any suspicious person who will have huge advantages for his downfall.

He shook his head and his lips was tightly pursed, "I have no idea."

The Prosecutor pushed his glasses into his nose and deeply scanned the document on the table. He was not novice nor new in this situation. In the perspective of the human minds, the one who you deeply trust was also the one who was your worst enemy. And he was a veteran in distinguishing all possible means and situation of this.

He looked up and met the gaze of Sobin, "You are the oldest son of Kim Hyunjin and most likely to become the next successor. The next child was an illegitimate and the youngest one was a hermaphrodite. This accident made your reputation ruined on your father's mind that made the two of your siblings have this advantage when the matter of choosing the next successor will be, surely...took place."

Sobin's eyes widened, "No. My siblings were not interested in the company—"

"You are too innocent young man."the prosecutor interrupted and continued, "This is the true nature of human. It's time for you to wake up and faced the cruelty of this world."

Sobin went silent. His face turned sour from time to time as he recalled all the words that invaded his mind.

In fact, he was not naive and stupid enough to disregard the possibility of betrayal. But he chose not to accept, but now...it all came out all together and put him in a very difficult position.

The Prosecutor observed his expression and nicely furrowed his eyes, "Between the two siblings. Who do you think was the one who will have the benefit of your misdeed?"

Sobin did not answer, but his thought was drifted away. Yeonwoo hated their father and was not interested in the company's affair. And for Jiyeon...

His eyes darkened a little.

His relationship with Jiyeon was considered casual and formal. They don't have the brotherly attachment and only treated each other as a stranger. But when the rebellious Jiyeon always get in trouble, Sobin was the one who will lecture him and help him.

But this past few days...Jiyeon apparently changed.

Yeonwoo was not interested in the company. But Jiyeon was different. So When Sobin failed the expectations of his father...then...the next successor will mostly be Jiyeon.

The more he thinks about it, the more his expression turned ugly.

"I think you already know the person responsible for this. I will take my leave."

Sobin only nodded and stared at daze.

That's why people find his personality foolish and stupid. Because he was not guarded and too trustworthy on the person beside him. His expression was very unsightly, but the amount of pain and motivation his heart possessed was enough for him to go berserk. But he chose to remain silent and quiet. He stared at his phone on where his mother's text was displayed.

He closed his eyes for a brief moment and when it opened...an entirely strong and fierce eyes unveil.

Maybe...it's time for him to take what his rightfully own.

The date of N-Zero's concert was getting nearer and nearer. All the preparation was earnestly organized. And some famous artist from their agency also help to advertise their upcoming concert.

---- I listened to their songs when I heard they were having a concert. It's not bad actually, it's good but not the best. I'm looking forward to the concert!

---- Despite the fact that one of member's reputation was severely ruined, they still choose to continue and perform their concert. I admire their personality. I already bought tickets! See you soon, N-Zero!

---- What's people thinking right now?! How can a group without any talents in this industry held a concert?! Is the producer and director had lousy taste now?

This comment received a thousand of both likes and dislikes.

--- The person upstairs. You speak garbage,, actually. The owner of the arena won't just let some talentless group to perform in that place. And you said that they are lousy singers? Did you hear their songs? Or are you only being a bandwagon to gain fame and adoration?

---- Why are so angry? This is a social media and I only expressed my opinion and thoughts. You are too obsessed with your idols.

--- Here we go again with 'I only expressed my opinion' routine. Are you not tired of using that praised to sugarcoat your hidden claws? But I see. No one ask your opinion by the way and no need to reply to me anymore. I don't talk to narrow-minded person.

The argument was very eye catching because of thousand of likes. Some fans and basher also indulged in this endless war and soon many citizen wants to postpone their concert because of this incident.

That's made Manager Yan anxious and frustrated. His already old face seems to aged more as he called several people to settle the argument on the social media.

"How can this be? The concert will be in two days, and we already prepared everything. And you tell me that the arena was not available?!"his voice echoed in the whole room.

The staff and designer stopped doing their things and stared nervously at the anxious face of Manager Yan.

"I'm sorry to tell you this in late, but the arena will undergo renovation. This is our fault this time. We will return the money—"

"Damn it!" Manager Yan hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. His face was dark and ugly, and his breathing was very heavy.

All the preparation was complete. All the tickets has been sold out and now...the arena will undergo renovation?! Are they kidding him?!

"Manager Yan is there a problem?" A young staff worriedly asked.

Manager Yan gnashed his teeth in anger, "The venue will changed."

"What?!"

"Manager Yan the preparation was already finished, we don't have time to change our venue!"

"All the back-up dancers such as well props and guests has been organized!"

"I know. Just calm down, okay?" Manager Yan massage his temples. This situation was really too arduous. He pulled his phone once again and called some close arena.

But sadly, all of those venues rejected him.

Manager Yan never felt frustrated in his whole life. He was not veteran in this kind of plot, he knew someone was plotting against them. And he knew that this person was strong enough to even close and make their appointment rejected in close time.

The other staff was full of worry and anxiety. They work hard for this just to be destroyed by an unknown person.

Manager Yan sighed, "I guess we have no choice."
