Chapter 37 - The Mafia King's Payback

Over at Taehyung's side, Eun Woo sighed in relief. "Oh Gosh! It's over! I was scared for a moment."

Taehyung pressed the space between his brows. "I still don't understand. Who were those thugs? I don't know them!"

"Ah? They sang your praises, offered you their loyalty and you don't know who they are?"

"Of course not! I never met them so I don't know why they said that I was with them the day before? And they claim that I fought them and won? That is ridiculous! I don't know how to fight."

"But they said you played Ludo with them."

His mouth twitched. "T-that is true that I play Ludo...I don't know how they got to know about it."

"They also said that you are really poor. So they really know you."

"Yaya!"

Eun Woo burst into laughter. "That was so funny!"

He sighed. "It's not funny. This is all too strange..."

He said, "Forget it. What matters is that you got proved innocent in the end. Haish we are getting late for classes! Let's go."

"But Boss said to wait for him. So you go ahead. I also have to thank him for coming here for me."

"Alright then. I will go ahead."

As Taehyung leaned on a pole, a figure approached him and said, "Taehyung."

Startled, Taehyung raised his head and flung his bag towards him. But his fast reflexes made him quickly dodge his surprise attack.

"Are you an idiot!? Why did you attack me?"

Tae blinked his eyes as he didn't recognize the man. But he was taken aback by his handsome features. There was a rugged attractiveness in him that could make men and women flock to him.

Ah, he is eye candy! But my Godly handsome prince is still the best.

Then he realized the main point.

!!!

Now there comes another man who knows me but whom I don't know! Is this some magic?

"I am not an Idiot! You came so suddenly."

He was dumbfounded. "I just came normally. You are too jumpy."

Before he could say anything else, Taehyung brought his palm forward. "Let me clear one thing that I don't know you at all! I don't know how you know my name but I really don't know you. Just tell me what sorcery is that I don't recognize people but they do," he put his hands on his waist indignantly.

The man rapidly blinked his eyes. At first, he chuckled in amusement but then he couldn't hold back his laughter at all.

"Hahaha...You are dumb AND interesting. Sorcery? That's some funny word you used."

He glared at him. "How dare you call me dumb? After some incredible experience I had just now, I cannot help but doubt you..." he narrowed his eyes.

Kang Jinhwan grimaced. "I am not any suspicious man."

"Every suspicious man says that."

He coughed hard. "You got a point. Well, I approached you because I want to talk to you."

"A trap!" He pointed his finger at him.

"..."

"You really are dumb. You watch too many movies."

"I don't consider my life any less than a movie's tragic hero. And don't call me dumb!"

"..."

His mouth twitched.

Kim Jia's brother is too... different?

"Let me introduce myself. I am Jinhwan. I work with your sister, Kim Jia. That's how I know your name."

Taehyung widened his eyes in shock.

"Sis Jia? You know her?"

He nodded. "We are colleagues and have worked in many missions together."

This was the first time that Taehyung met someone from Kim Jia's workplace.

"So I am really not any suspicious man," he narrowed his eyes.

Taehyung coughed in embarrassment. "That I was just joking haha..."

He quickly diverted the topic. "Where is sis? It's been a few weeks that we haven't talked and neither has she replied to my messages! You are her colleague so you should know. Is she too busy? Can you let me talk to her?"

Jinhwan turned serious. "Regarding that...it's exactly why I came to meet you. We need to talk."

In the base, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were tied to chairs. They looked as white as ghosts.

"What is going on? Let us out of here!"

Mrs. Lu sobbed. "Who are you, people? Why have you kidnapped us?"

Jungkook came out of the dark and faced them. They were shocked.

CEO Jeon?

"Y-You...why are you here?"

"You will know it soon."

Chang Fang stepped forward. "Boss, here is the axe."

He glared at them.

They dare slap our King's man? He is our Ludo Lady! How dare you hit him?

Jungkook pointed the axe at Mrs. Lu's arm. "Was it that hand that slapped him?"

They paled. "Y-You...what are you going to do with that?"

"Cut off your arm."

"What!? T-this is a crime! Let us go!"

"Not until I pay you back for the slap. You hit my man. You didn't think that you would go unharmed, right?"

Their shock knew no bounds.

His man? Taehyung is CEO Jeon's man?

Jungkook tilted his head. "My man has been hurt. It's natural for me to make you pay. You should understand."

Mrs. Lu widened her eyes.

'My daughter has disappeared. You should understand...'

She had said the same thing to Taehyung.

Mr. Lu realized that they messed up with the wrong man. If they knew that Taehyung was Jungkook's man, they wouldn't have approached him carelessly.

"He is innocent, but you hit him. So I am very, very angry."

"No-no..."

Chang Fang offered. "Boss, should I do it? These flies are not worthy of your time."

Jungkook denied. "No. Taehyung is my man. I will take revenge."

He nodded and promptly stepped back.

They burst into tears. "No, please! I am sorry! Please forgive me! I-I didn't know that he... Please let us go...I won't do anything to Taehyung ever again!"

"Too late. And I don't give second chances."

And with one quick slash, Jungkook swung the axe and cut off her arm.

"Ahhhhh!!!"
