Useful to the Mafia

Day Four

...

"For someone who got kidnapped you're oddly calmer than I thought."

My neck ached and my hands were tied behind my back. The floor was cold and the room was stuffy. I woke up not too long ago. The room has no furniture or what so ever. Just right when I opened my eyes, I came face to face with Felix. I've been glaring at him ever since I awoke.

"And, seems like you're really mad at someone."

A guy that named himself Chan kept looking at me amused since I woke up. Inside the room, a total of 8 men are present. I can see Minho by a corner, smoking and smiling at me.

"What is it? Money? Land? Property? Even if you asked for that, my dad would rather let me rot and die. You're wasting your time and effort." I said indifferently.

Chan walks back to his seat. He sits back with his legs open and his hand rubbing his chin. "Oh we know that. Your relationship with him is... rather sad honestly. But we're after someone else's property."

What? Whose property could he want that he needs to kidnap me for?

He glances at one of his guys and they walks behind me and starts untying the ropes on around my wrists. "You have to behave now, don't do anything reckless." the guy whispered to me. He sounded more sincere than threatening. The ropes were gone so I stood up slowly as I rubbed the pain away from my wrists. The ropes left bruises.

"So what are you after?" I can't say I'm not scared at all. My legs feel like they'll give out any moment if I'm not careful enough. It feels like I'm trapped in a cave of wolves that's watching my every movement.

"Kang Jinyoung, does that name ring a bell?" Chan asked. "Kang Jinyoung Property?"

Sir Kang Jinyoung is dead I heard... so this was it.

"Hmmm, based from your silence and change of expression... it seems that you know. Then you know very well who we're looking for then."

I sighed heavily through my nose. Why now?! This day shouldn't have come. I'm starting to regret promising Sir Jinyoung that I'd protect his son in exchange of living independently. You see, Kang Jinyoung was supposed to take me in when Mom died. But I didn't want to work under him due to certain touchy problems.

"Come on YN, you better speak up what's on your mind. Other wise we'll have to get it out of you the hard way." Minho, who was done with his cig, stood behind me. His nasty breathe of smoke touches my neck.

I scan the room with just my eyes. They all seem be armed so chances of beating them up are slim and very dangerous.

"Thinking of excuses in that pretty little head?" Minho started to touch my hair from the top to bottom like he was flattening it. "Let's hear them."

"I do know where he is. But no one can go there, only selected family members and friends and get in the area. It's secluded with advanced technology that was enhanced and enhanced throughout Kang Taehyun's existence." They all listened in to what I was saying.

([IN CASE YOUR LOST A/N]Kang Taehyun [26 yrs old] is the sole inheritor they're looking for.)

"So where is he?"

"Russia."

"Changbin, make a call." Chan immediately ordered. The guy he called Changbin quickly left the room. He glanced back at me with a smile. "Thank you for cooperating. Good news is, we're not going to kill you."

He stopped. Minho suddenly grabbed my shoulder. I responded by turning around and grabbing his arms. I jabbed his stomach and kicked his knee that he fell on the ground but he pulled me with him and I ended up under him.

"Minho Hyung!" Felix called. Minho got my hands and pinned them on the cold floor and the mid part of his lower leg pinned my legs down too.

"Minho, what the fuck are you trying to do?" Someone said.

"I'm trying her out, what else?" He smirked and pulled my hands above my head. He gripped both my wrists with one hand so he could use the other to touch my face. "Not gonna lie, you're really pretty."

My chest was pounding, both anger and something else that was so weird to feel in this kind of situation.

His finger grazed my cheeks to my lips. His half lidded eyes stare intensely to my wide open ones. He moved his hand to cover my mouth and he looked up to Chan.

"She's in good shape, what about we recruit her?" He asked.

"Are you insane? Or you just high?"

"Are you hearing yourself right now?"

"Well she is a Serpent, might as well try right?"

"But, Chan, don't you think that would be risky."

"Not only is she an outsider, she's also the daughter of one our enemies."

"I know all that, but let's see and reconsider. It's not a bad idea."

I don't know who exactly was talking, they were mostly new voices I've never heard before.

Minho was still looking away from me and his hand was still covering my mouth. Fast as I could, I adjusted by moving my head up and I bit on Minho's hand.

"AARgH! You-" His hand loosened so I punched him on the face and kicked him away. I was able to stand up and he was also half standing and ready to pounce on me.

I was about move to fight him but a strong grip pulled on my hair.

"AAhH!" The pull was so strong that my upper body was hanging back and my legs were barely keeping me up standing.

"Jisung, calm Minho down would you." It was Chan who grabbed me by the hair. I can see the way he clenched his teeth from the movement of his jaw.

He looked down at me by the side of his eyes. I was breathing in a steady heavy motion. He pushed my head and I was forced to kneel down.

"He's hand bled, that's amazing. You really do have the blood of The Serpent." He whispered to my ear. He lets go of my hair with a push. I casually comb my hair with my fingers. He stood up and faces me.

"You love looking down don't you." I glared up to him and he smirks.

"We all do." He says, generalizing all the guys in the room. "Oh, I almost forgot to say the other good news."

Two guys left the room with Minho. Felix stepped beside Chan with two other guys.

"You're staying here until we get Kang Taehyun. You know what that means, right?"

I wish I didn't. I wish that I don't have to see these faces ever again. Can't this all just be an action thriller dream that was similar to some drama I watched?

"You're not going to be allowed to go outside of this place until I say so."

The only way not to die here is to submit and follow his orders.
