[2] The Substitute Wife

CHAPTER 204

After some time, Bambam's low voice said, "What do you want?"

"What do I want? You'll find out when you get over here..." The man didn't wait for Bambam to respond; he got straight to the point. "One hour... You have one hour. If I don't see you within the hour, don't blame me for doing anything overboard!"

"Also, do not call the police or anyone else. If you do, expect to collect her corpse!" With that, the man decisively hung up the phone.

Now that they knew they were in for a wait, two of the men inside casually found a spot and sat down. Then, they each put a cigarette between their lips and started playing a card game.

The third man paced around the room until he finally stopped in front of Lisa Lim, who remained unconscious. He stared at her motionless body, admiring her for some time, before he bent over and inched closer to her face. After a moment of staring, he said in a lust-filled tone, "This wretch is rather good-looking."

The two men who were playing cards glanced at Lisa Lim. One of them said with a cigarette still dangling from his lips, "Don't get any funny ideas. You're not allowed to touch this chick right now. You know that."

"I didn't say I was going to do anything here. Besides, she's drugged and unconscious, and she's not going to wake up anytime soon. There's nothing wrong with me looking at her all I want..." He then got even closer to her face. He took a deep breath, and his bad intentions grew even more evident on his face.

Having witnessed this entire scene through the window, the expression on Jeon Jungkook's face had become frighteningly cold. He then watched the man inhale deeply two more times and, still failing to restrain himself, place his lips lightly on Lisa Lim's face and then reach out toward her chest.

Fury instantly took over all of Jeon Jungkook's instincts. He leapt to the shoddy door and lifted his foot and kicked it open. He dashed to Lisa Lim and grabbed the collar of the man who was trying to grope her, violently yanking him backward. Still not saying a word, he tightened his fist and punched the man's face with full force.

Jeon Jungkook's appearance was so abrupt that the two men who were playing cards had not fully comprehended what was going on. They watched dazedly as Jeon Jungkook lifted his leg and angrily kicked their partner's abdomen, after which they still didn't react. When the man had landed against the hard wall from the kick, he wailed pitifully from the pain. After getting some of his breath back, he shouted furiously at Jeon Jungkook, "Who the hell are you!?"

Jeon Jungkook had no intention of answering. He raised his foot again and gave that man another merciless kick, but this time with even more force. The man screamed in pain, and the primal nature of it finally jarred his two partners to their senses. They each grabbed a nearby abandoned iron rod and rushed to surround Jeon Jungkook, who instinctively dodged the swings of the rods. Then, he picked up a long rusty iron rod himself and used it to block the subsequent strikes from the two men.

Jeon Jungkook had learned self-defense techniques over many years, so dealing with these two men while holding the rod in his hands was almost natural and effortless.

Jeon Jungkook struck a pose that indicated he was fully prepared to take on the two armed men, all the while plotting on how he was going to get Lisa Lim out of there safely.

The man he had punched and kicked was leaning against the wall holding his abdomen, but Jeon Jungkook was aware that he was gradually returning to his senses. The man then lifted his head and glanced at all three men in front of him.

This situation is only going to get worse once Bambam arrives...

At that thought, the man bent down, grabbed an iron rod, and then stood up straight and pounced on Jeon Jungkook . His two partners joined him, and Jeon Jungkook struggled to fight them. After some time had passed, he was still fending them off, but he knew that he didn't have enough physical strength to fight them indefinitely, thus he decided the best way to keep his advantage was to eliminate one of the three.
