One For Three

Chapter 64: the return of bad manners

Neutral POV

The entire primary and secondary family are gathered for the crisis meeting. Korn reveals to Gun the latest revelations that Big had kept with him until almost his death.

The shock took a while to pass but all members of the Theerapanyakul family. Macau is not affected by this, he doesn't care at all. What concerns him is his future on the European continent.

Pol, Ken and Tankhun are happy to learn that Big died after experiencing excruciating pain. They will be able to give Arm, still recovering, some very good news.

Porsche, Pete and Vegas are neutral, adopting a gangster and professional bodyguard attitude. Always put yourself in other people's shoes to get a global view of the situation.

Gun is shocked by all the revelations Big has made and it doesn't satisfy him.

- I'm going to mobilize all the resources to get rid of this damn Tiger's Eye. Gun, some of my bodyguards will take turns at your house to spy on your bodyguards and all your staff, in order to find out who is the intermediary with Tiger's Eye.

Korn gives some more information about what will happen in the next few days before telling Pol and Tankhun to leave. Gun thinks it's all over and gets up too.

Korn told him dryly:

- You stay here. We need to speak with Vegas, Macau Porsche, Kinn and Pete.

Tankhun, Pol and Ken are surprised but won't stay any longer. Arm is looking forward to them.

The bodyguards bow politely and head out. Gun thinks he has an idea of the tension in Korn's eyes but he will keep an innocent look.

- What do you want?

Porsche gets up and stands behind Korn, upright.

- Don't pretend, sir. You know why this meeting is dragging on.

Vegas's eyes widen, seeming to understand the reason.

- P...Porsche...that's not a good idea...

Porsche responds firmly, as Kinn and Pete look on.

- You don't have to be afraid anymore, Vegas. It's all going to end now.

Korn glares at Gun.

- You've been messing with me this whole time, Gun. Porsche told me that you beat Vegas!!

Vegas looks down. Pete looks at him with difficulty. Kinn looks angry at Gun, who can no longer escape what he has done. Not wanting to let him justify himself, Porsche speaks:

- You're not at all intelligent on this one, sir. You beat Vegas while I was coming to your house. I found him unconscious in the corridor leading to his apartments, shirtless, his back whipped and scarred. I treated him with compresses and bandages.

Porsche takes the liberty of grabbing Vegas to get behind him and undo his shirt.

- P..Porsche, I don't think it's necessary...

- Boss Korn must understand the intensity of the beating you received, Vegas.

Vegas' shirt falls off and the bandages and compresses follow. Vegas restrains himself from moaning in pain. Korn gets up and approaches Vegas to analyze the blows inflicted by Gun.

Macau hasn't moved since this interaction began but wastes no time in saying:

- Dad, you promised never to hit us again but you continued. Now look at your situation.

Gun says nothing at all, aware that there is no point in justifying himself or trying to clear himself. Korn struggles to contain his anger.

- HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN.... WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU NEVER DID IT!!!!
