The Road We Walk On

113 | Pest

Alex Lee's Office, New York

Sir, we have picked up and chatted that the contract has been picked up by someone. However, there is also another contract out that states to kill whoever picks up the contract for Seokhoon.

Looks like Dante is moving to stop Seojin. Do whatever you need to do to stop that from happening, also advise Peter to discourage Seokhoon and Rona from going out too much during the weekend especially.

Yes Sir, Peter did inform us that Seokhoon and Rona are having exams soon, so often if they do go out it is only to the library to study and they are with their friends most of the time.

Good good, nothing happens on my watch, understand. If one of them gets hurt I will make sure I punish those who failed to carry out my orders.

Don't worry Sir, we have been following them around and scouting ahead. Luckily the contract was only just picked up - we have ample time to prepare.

Good, make sure to capture whoever and bring him to me.

Even though Alex, like Logan, was a reputable business man, unlike Logan, Alex never shy away from the underground world. He was aware that sometimes to deal with the devil, one had to be evil as well. Of course, he had no intentions of telling Seokhoon and Rona this truth but now he needed to protect them and if that meant being evil again, he would do it.

Two Days Later

Sir, we have him. Also we have managed to pull the contract and hacked it to show that the contract had been fulfilled on the site. There should be no one else bothering Seokhoon and Rona.

Well done men, but I am still cautious for now Seokhoon and Rona are being watched still, we will keep this for another 2 weeks or so. I have been informed by Yoonhee that the play against Seojin and Dante has moved up. Hopefully within the next month, these two will finally be out of our hair. Until then, Seokhoon and Rona are to be watched carefully still.

Understood, also with a stroke of luck we also manage to capture the person who took on Dante's contract as well.

Really? Haha, looks like it has sort of backfired on both of them.

Yes sir, actually how we manage to catch Seojin's contract was because we manage to find Dante's one. Through him, we found the person who had taken Seojin's. It was a lucky break for us, we managed to kill two birds with one stone.

Excellent, looks like leaking the info to Dante paid off. Despite being a monster, at least his love towards Seokhoon is still true.

What do we do now?

Get them to confess, make sure it is recorded and send it to our contacts in Seoul. I am sure they will have a good way to reveal this information that would lead to their destruction.

Yes Sir, understood.

At the same time, Hera Place, Seoul

Mdm, it seems that the contract was a success?

Really? Did you confirm it?

That we didn't but we received a notification of the status of the contact and it said fulfilled.

That doesn't mean anything, try to contact the person who picked it up.

We have Mdm, but we are not getting him.

Then until then don't say anything. He may or may not have succeeded.

King's Holdings, Seoul

Sir, our contract has indicated to be a success.

This means that the hit out on Seokhoon has been taken care of?

Yes Sir.

What about Bae Rona?

Apparently both contracts are successful.

What?! If ours is successful how can Seojin's one be as well?

I am not too sure.

Find out if either one of them is alive.

Yes sir but it would take some time.

Yeah whatever, just find out my son is alive asap.

Yes.

There was a knock on the door. Seokkyung entered the office.

What do you want?

I want you to fulfil your promise.

In time, now get out.

Nope, you will do as I say.

Or what?

Or I show what I have to the police.

Dante looked and saw an envelope in Seokkyung's hand. He recognised the envelope because of the name on the envelope - Chungah. Seokkyung walked up to Dante's desk, she slammed her hands on his table. Appa, I learn from the best, give me what I want and I won't destroy you.

Dante laughed, he immediately grabbed her throat and squeezed hard. Seokkyung tried to fight Dante off but she was much weaker than him. Ah daughter, why did you turn on me? Had you not, maybe I won't have to do what I planned for you. But now that you went and did this, it looks like I have to punish you. Dong Pil! Get in here!

Dongpil entered through the door. Yes what is it you what me to do? Since Dongpil had returned to Dante's side, he had remained quiet and loyal on the surface. He needed Dante to trust him in order for him to get close to him. And because of that attitude, Dante let his guard down around Dongpil, most of the 'dirty' work that Dante ordered was carried out by Dongpil.

Dongpil ah, be a good boy and follow my orders.

What are your orders?

Kill this pest I have on my hand, oh and also get rid of that mental case that is also in the villa.

Yes Sir.

Two men entered and grabbed Seokkyung by the arm as they dragged her out of King's Holding. Seokkyung was screaming and thrashing, she did not believe her father's words but the look in his eyes showed that he was not joking or pretending. If anything, they looked like they wanted her dead.

Note: I know the contract killing part is a bit dramatic but well this is the Universe of Penthouse - let me be a bit dramatic. So will Seokkyung and Eunbyeol die? What do you think?
