Joong was sitting in the basement of his base. There were three people in front of him. All of them were kneeling. Their hands were tied behind their backs and eyes were tied by a black cloth. All of them were screaming and whimpering with pain as Joong's men tortured them.

"So, either one of you ready to talk now?" Joong asked as his men paused the torturing for a moment. None of the three people talk, instead they whimpered slowly. This made Joong's blood boil.

Joong got up from his seat and went straight to the man who was in the middle. He went his back and grabbed his hair. Then he tugged at it roughly and whispered to his ears.

"It looks like I'm being kind to you. Let me show what real pain is." Then Joong nodded at his men.

They work quickly and released the other two people from their blind folds. Then they turned the men to the middle person. Joong took a knife from one of his men.

"If you are refuse to talk , then this tongue is no use for you." Joong said with his deep venomous voice. Then two men came and hold the man. One took out his tongue and Joong sliced it with his knife. Blood splashed all over the floor. The man fell to the ground he tried to scream but they were muffled without his tongue.

The other two men trembled in fear seeing the fate of his friend. Both of them were sweating and crying. They witnessed the deeds of the mafia leader. Joong closed to the left one with an evil smile. The man tried to back away but another man held him still.

"Ple- please, d- d- don't harm m- me. I- I'll tell you everything." The man said. He was scared to the death. He didn't want to face the same fate as his friend.

"Then, tell me who is this guy Kenji?" Joong asked. His voice filled with danger.

"We don't know who he is. We never met him in person. He transferred money online and tell us what to do. He had all the information about the container." The man spoke as he trembling with fear. He was looking down all the time. He didn't want to look at the angry eyes of the mafia leader.

"So, did you know that it was my container that you are selling?" Joong asked. But the man didn't said anything. He stayed silent.

"DID YOU?" Joong screamed. Even his own men was startled by his voice.

"Y- yes we did. Please forgive us." The man begged for mercy. Joong chuckled. It was not sweet chuckle. It was filled with anger and venom. Anyone who heard it would get goosebumps.

"You knew it was mine and still dared to sell it to some unknown man. Did you think I wouldn't find out?" Joong signaled to his men. Two of them took out his guns. At that moment two men knew their end was near. They begged for mercy from the mafia leader. But Joong would never forgive for anyone who betray him.

"No one steals from Joong Archen." Joong said before his men shoot the two guys. Then he went out of the basement letting his men to clean the mess.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"We have a mole inside. We need to find who sold the information about the container to this Kenji." Joong said to Pond as he sat on his chair.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of it." Pond said. Joong nodded. He was about to said something else. But Pond's phone started to rang.

"It's Phuwin." Pond said before he answered the call. He went out of the room. After awhile Pond came back. His face looked troubled and Joong could say something was not right.

"What happened? Is everything alright with Phuwin?" Joong asked.

"Everything is fine with him. But he wants us to go to his club right now." Pond said.

"Why?" Joong asked curiously.

"We'll know when we get there. He didn't say me much." Joong nodded and stood up from the chair.

Joong and Pond reached the club within 10 minutes. They entered Phuwin's office. Both of them were surprised to see Dunk was there. And also Dunk had a big plaster on his forehead. There was a first aid kit beside him. It looked like Phuwin was the one who tended his wound.

"What happened to you?" Pond asked seeing Dunk.

"Joong, I think we got a problem." Phuwin said before Dunk answered Pond.

"What?" Joong asked. Phuwin turned to Dunk and urged him to tell them. Dunk sighed.

"Someone attacked me in the morning. Two people broke into my house. They were wearing all black and had guns. I saw them through the cctv. So had time to escape."

"What happened to your head and why do you have all those cuts and bruises?" Joong asked. Apart from the wound on his forehead Joong saw Dunk had some smaller wounds in his hands and legs.

"I had to jump out of my window." Dunk said showing his smile. Joong wondered how he could smile at a time like this.

"Is this the first time that someone tried to kill you?" Pond asked. Dunk nodded. All of them thought it was odd.

"Is that because you helped me?" Joong asked this time. Dunk sighed again. He didn't looked at Joong when he talked.

"I've been doing these works for more than 7 years. I did the job and I got paid. No one even knew where I live. Everything happened online. Sometimes I only met with my clients when I getting my payments. This was the first time someone came looking for me to my house and that also to kill me. I don't think it is a coincidence that it happened as soon after I helped you."

There was a silent in the room after Dunk said that. Joong also didn't think that it was a coincidence. Someone really was trying to get to him. 

"Joong, he is not safe out there." Phuwin sounded concerned. He really was worried about his friend's safety.

"How about you keep him in your apartment until I find who did this?" Joong asked. But Phuwin didn't seem to like the idea. Pond spoke before Phuwin.

"I don't think it's a good idea. Phuwin's or my place don't have enough security as we are not home most of the time. He'll be in danger anyway."

"What do we do then?"

Joong was running out of ideas. He already felt guilty that Dunk was injured because of him. He didn't want to put him in anymore danger.

"How about we keep him in your house. You have a big house and you live alone. It is guarded enough. Most importantly no one dared to enter your house." Phuwin said.

As much as Joong hated Phuwin's idea Joong knew he was telling truth. His house would be the safest place for Dunk at the moment. Joong sighed a heavy sign. He got a feeling that his calm life going to be ruined soon.

"Ok then. I have a meeting later. Bring him in the evening." Joong said. Phuwin nodded. Then he left Phuwin's club.
