28: Settling Differences

Previously...

"And as expected, tonight's winner of the contest is Lee Goo Ong, the Tiger!" the announcer exclaimed, followed by another round of applause.

"Damn, he really killed that poor dude." Soo Hye shook her head while clicking her tongue. "Guess I'll be stuck with that sight for the rest of my life."

"Ugh, the blood, I can't stand watching it." Tae Han cringed and covered his face.

"We should leave." Heung Mol stated, surprising them.

"What did you just say?" Mi Na tilted her head.

"Now, we should leave now. Coming here is a terrible idea. Let's go now, let's go!" he stood up abruptly, fixing his clothes.

"Wait wait wait, why should we go? Why so sudden?" Mi Na went to stop him, holding the man's shoulders.

"I changed my mind. Lee Goo Ong is not someone you can both hire and work with. The man's a maniac, a bloodthirsty maniac to be specific. We'll all be dead meat if we don't hurry any further, now come on, move your asses out of here!" he whispered loudly, moving out from his seat before he suddenly heard a voice calling on him.

"Gye Heung Mol!" Goo Ong called, causing everyone else to look at the direction he was staring. Turns out, after he had killed the Destroyer and watched the contestant's dead body fall to the ground, he happened to catch a glimpse of his brother-in-law, and to make sure, Goo Ong turned to his far left again, confirming that it was indeed the certain man. Heung Mol froze in his spot, shutting his eyes tight while gritting his teeth, knowing this dreadful moment would already come. "Gye Heung Mol, I'm calling you!" he called again. Mi Na and the rest widened their eyes and looked at the man, starting to worry about him.

"Shit, now I'm dead meat." Heung Mol groaned, knowing what's about to happen.

-

Out of all shitty bad lucks that could have happened to him, out of all the mess that could have attacked him, Heung Mol never expected his brother-in-law to recognize him, moreover call his name in front of the whole audience, an audience filled with at least 90 people or even more. He had already known that this was a terribly bad idea, he should have figured it out sooner and refuse to join them on going to Goo Ong's domain, but what could he do? Now here he was, standing as the center of the attention, back facing the man that was his brother-in-law.

Heung Mol turned to Mi Na and shot her a sharp glare, his face clearly showing the 'I told you this was a terrible idea' look, Mi Na understood it well upon observing his expression.

"I-I think we should leave." Mi Na gulped, agreeing at Heung Mol's statement, and immediately stood up, pulling Han Sou's hand. "Heung Mol's right, going here is just the same as suicide, we should go find someon-"

"Where do you think you're going, Heung Mol my brother? Come down here and let us have the deserving family reunion, shall we?" Goo Ong smirked, half mischievously, and also half full of hatred. Heung Mol shut his eyes tight, gritting his teeth while his fists balled hard. He really wished to die, but not in the hands of his own brother-in-law. The announcer looked at the man Goo Ong was yelling at, and felt curious about the outcome of the upcoming fight, and so he supported the latter in calling on the man too.

"You heard him clearly, the Tiger has called for you to challenge him in the arena. It is a very rare instance when the Tiger calls someone, so you should be thankful!" the announcer chuckled slyly.

"Go go go go, we should leave this hell now!" Heung Mol rushed out of the way, but then he was blocked by two guards who were holding spears, startling the man.
