Yo-Han sighed after listening to Na-Gil's story, he knew from the start that Na-Gil is different on the inside, he only found himself on the road to hell because of the people around him. In Na-Gil's speech there is a sign of remorse that showed that he speaks the truth, it showed even in Na-Gil's appearance. While gangsters and hooligans decorate their bodies with tattoos, Na-Gil only had a Phoenix tattoo on his left hand signifying that he is a part of the Red Phoenix, and it's always hidden by the sleeves of his shirt. Yo-han only caught a glimpse of it once the last time they met because Na-Gil's sleeves were rolled up.
Truly, appearance does not define a man but this is different. Yo-Han easily believes that this person could be trusted, which is rare, and that's what he wants, someone trustworthy.
"So... Are you willing to work with me?, Sign if you are willing." Yo-Han said after dropping a document on the table.
"Yes, if that guarantees my escape from the red Phoenix... How do you intend to help me?" Expecting the whole information.
" Leave the thinking to me, all you need to worry about is following my instructions and strategies, you also have to familiarize yourself with me and the mission, I won't be in action 24hours a day, I have to study, so you will be doing most of the work. You can forget about helping the Ong family, I have a plan already."
This is as expected, Yo-Han will not open up 100 percent, he took the document and signed an agreement of partnership.
"Why do we need a written document?" Na-Gil questioned, he did not understand this Yo-Han.
" I just like documentation, it's a normal thing that I do." Yo-Han replied and took the document and kept it in a clear bag.
" So what is this mission about?, at least you should tell me that."
After waiting for a short while, Na-gil was about to forget the question and move to something else, it's not the first time that Yo-Han will not answer his questions and he is getting used to it, that was when Yo-Han responded.
"It's a revenge, I want to avenge my father's death."
"Was he a public figure, who killed him? How did it happen, you must miss him so much to be so determined to avenge him, what's his name? Park what? "Na-Gil ushered Yo-Han with questions curiously.
" I don't know who killed him yet, still finding information about whoever it is, but I know that the killer is a big shot, that's why I need to become a big shot myself in other to play in the same playground. "
" Don't worry, I will do my best to help, I wish my father is the perpetrator, I can't wait to see his fall." The expression on Na-Gil's face shows how much he meant his words.
" Why wish the old man evil, let karma judge."
" What if I decide to be Karma incarnate, Eh?? After all he does not consider me as his child."
"Hmn.... If you want him to fall so much don't just wish, do something, you have the Ridder remember."
Na-Gil thought about it and decided to kill two birds with a stone. He would deal with his old man and also help Yo-Han achieve his aim.
" Yo-han, how sure are you that you will succeed?, I don't want to take a huge risk" Na-Gil spoke his mind expecting nothing more but a positive answer.
" Do you think I will do something before checking the possibilities, as of now, due to the fact that I lack information and all, I am still 85% sure, and it will never decrease, I am very sure of that... Do you trust me?."
" Haha, I trust whoever the Ridder trusts, do I have a choice?" This is his only chance to be free from the red Phoenix. What choice does he have.
"You do have a choice, you can back out any time you wish. You are not in any burden don't forget that, you are as free as the birds in the sky once you wish to quit, I will hold nothing against you, the only thing that may make me come after you is betrayal." Yo-han made himself clear then stood up to leave.
"I won't betray you, I am not that type, you can trust me." Na-gil declared to the exiting Yo-Han.

After school Dan-Bi rushed over to Mari Hospitals HQ after receiving a call about her Nana being hospitalized again. Nana who was receiving proper care under the Choi's roof suddenly started giving serious symptoms, and was rushed to the hospital for a second kidney surgery. This news made Dan-Bi forget everything else that was going on including Yo-han, she rushed to the hospital the moment she received the news.
Yo-han, not knowing what had happened went looking for her and when he didn't find her, he concluded she had left earlier than usual. He called and texted her but could not reach her.
Since he had no companion for the day he decided to go to Kings law firm.
At Kings Law firm, things had barely changed. Still the same building, location, same serious attitude to work and love among the staffs, same warm reception and more. The only difference from 10 years ago when his dad brought him here is that some of the old colleagues have retired, while younger ones have been hired, also the firm is now in the hands of the Young master, successor and only heir of the Hyeon family.
Aside that everything about the law firm, the reputation and good name remained the same.
Yo-Han stood still at a spot reminiscing about those days, the smile every one had whenever he and his father walked in, and those beautiful faces that admired him darely. Haha, gone were those days.
He even recognized some of the workers including Ms Gu, the receptionist at the front desk. Yo-han remember how she would give him candy everytime he came around, the way she kept his company whenever his father is busy or out for work and the way they became god nephew and god aunt, 'Haha, let's see if you recognize your nephew' .
He approached the now Mrs Gu, hoping that she might recognize him. But he wouldn't be disappointed if she doesn't, it's been almost eleven years since they last saw each other.
" Good afternoon young man, welcome to Kings law firm, how may I help you?" Was Mrs Gu's greetings.
Uhh sorry Yo-Han she doesn't recognize you, no candy this time.
