Namjoon was sitting with Aree. His father, Rattan and all the mafia members were all presented in the hall room. Aree Thanaporn wanted to transfer everything in paper and pen. But Namjoon wanted to talk to him first.

"Boss....You know why I agreed to accept the leadership. When Uncle Rattan called me and told me everything, I was shocked. And I agreed to accept it cause the situation demanded it. Now, you should take back your leadership Boss. You are still young and will live for more 20 years at least...Don't worry about your age." Namjoon gave him his Dimple smile.

Aree started to laugh.

"Ha Joon-ah... Your son knows how to flatter someone huh...Even my heart melts with his words. How intelligent this boy is! I like you so much Namjoon -ah. But to be honest, I have already transferred this empire on your name."

"Boss but-"

"No but Namjoon. You will be the owner of RODRIGO. You decide if you want to keep it like this or not. If you want to transfer this to something else, you can do that too. I am already old. And I am freeing my family from this mafia business. But you are right too. You are still young. If you refuse to take it, I will close it forever. It's just the men here are all my close friends and buddies. If RODRIGO closes down, they will suffer financially . All of them will lose their job."

Namjoon was silent for a minute. He was thinking something.

"Um....may I suggest something then?"

"Oh yeah Sure Namjoon." Aree replied.

"I - will take over RODRIGO...but not now. I will complete my study and PhD. Then I will come back to take it over. I will decide then what I want to do with it. But till then... Uncle Rattan and my father will take care of RODRIGO." Namjoon suggested.

Rattan's eyes widened. He looked at Namjoon then at Aree. Aree nodded to him.

"Namjoon...I am happy with your suggestion. Let's do that then."

" Thank you so much Boss."

"I should thank you instead."

They all were silent.  Aree looked at Namjoon. His expression said he wanted to say something.

"Namjoon, you wanna say something? "

Namjoon looked at Aree surprisedly .

"Er....actually, I wanted to ask you something. But how do you know?"

"You were feeling kinda nervous. That's why I thought you want to say something. Ask me then."

"Um....In the basement when-when You said to throw him to the lillies, what did you mean by that? He was so terrified when you said that."

Namjoon kept looking at Aree with curious gaze. Aree exhaled loudly. He didn’t wanted to disclose it to others. It was one of his secrets. He looked at Namjoon's eyes.

"You saw that huge garden of Lily...below that Garden I had made a secret dungeon.  This dungeon was made for the most dangerous criminal like national terrorists and the mafias who were doing harms to our country. RODRIGO worked for the government for all this time after I took over.. And the criminal were kept there secretly. And the thing is, once you enter the dungeon as a criminal, you can't come out."

"Why?" Namjoon asked.

"Cause...Dead people can't simply come out. Right?"

Namjoon's eyes widened. He looked towards his father. Then he again looked at Aree.

"So you guys would lock them and shoot them to death?"

"No."

"No?"
