The flight back towards Korea was a tense moment as once they returned, night was already arriving with Ian getting through the security check port.
Luckily clothes for him was already on board as he wore a black shirt with white pants with his usual tinted glasses.
"Mi-Gyeong, hand it over."
"Yes sir." Taking out a phone and dialing the one number he had on there, he passed it to Ian as it rang 2 times until it was picked up.
"Hello?" A rough voice was heard on the other side as it sounded exhausted.
"The second son of Cho?"
"Depends on what your trying to do to him. This is a phone line only those my father regarded to be his trusted men, so which one are you?"
"Hm…It's Ian, Ian Sun."
"…"
"How do I know if it's you."
"Sir Cho was a really great man but did you know what happened when he summoned me after the tournament, he was defeated by me"
"Lies"
"Are you sure? You were there along with that person, you must've recalled I almost killed you"
The second son thought back to a terrifying memory and a realization, all his sons were present with only them when Zu rewarded him with the money.
This was information no one knew, even the shareholders didn't know of Cho being defeated in such a humiliating way.
"If your really Ian Sun, I can imagine my father wasn't wrong in placing you to protect me."
"Yes yes, it's his last favor that I owe him. To protect you with all my power."
"Where are you-"
"No need, since your already a target and I can see your real time location thanks to someone, I will come to you."
The second son let out a deep sigh as he just hummed in response. "So when are you going to get here."
"Don't worry. If you can survive until I arrive in less than half of an hour, I can guarantee, no one will be able to land a single breath of air on you."
With that line, Ian disconnected the call as he messed around with the phone and came to a website that displayed the 2nd son location and the bounty on him.
"Oh?" Ian said in surprise as he saw his face along with the bounty. He turned around and showed it to Mi-Gyeong.
"What do you think?" His chuckle made Mi-Gyeong slightly nervous as it displayed the reward.
"Maybe-"
"No, we're going straight in. It won't matter, they are probably crazy enough to bring in guns which must mean they're confident in dealing with me." Ian scrolled on the website as he kept chuckling while smiling.
With Ian exiting the airport and going towards the location, other forces were also on the move and already making contact.
But Ian was sure, he would arrive on time as there was already people protecting him who were capable.
"But there will be one problem…do I have to? I mean, Cho only asked me to save his son, not the group so…." Ian mumbled and put a hand under his chin as he started to think.
"Alright. Let's do it this way!"
…
Minutes passed as Ian was close to his target but stopped once he saw a familiar group of men. They were speaking in mandarin with a oddly familiar T shape badge on them.
They were also pretty easy to spot due to their appearance and obvious presence as they pushed past people to get into car.
"I think we found our enemies." Ian chuckled as he suddenly shot out and put his foot on the hood.
(AN: ** is spoken in mandarin)
"**Hey what do you think your doing kore-**"
The big guy of their group suddenly dropped to the ground as a swift neck chop to his neck folded him. The rest of the T group men got out and yelled out.
"What? I don't speak that language." Ian said while dodging their attacks and countered back leaving one conscious.
He looked like the boss as he had more tattoos and waited for everyone to attack until he did but he was quickly on his knees after a kick which he blocked, was deliverd to him.
Even though he blocked the incoming attack, he didn't anticipate the power behind it, which left him with spaghetti arms.
"Hey hey! Can you speak Korean!" Ian squatted down to his level and said with a smile as he poked his cheek.
"Damn fucking Ko-"
"Nope!" A smack to the back of his head sent him into the concrete as Ian sigh.
"Sigh…get up, I know your not knocked out." Once he said that, the smallest person of this group quickly got on his knees and straightened his posture.
"I'm sorry!"
"Oh you speak Korean? Okay I got a question then."
"Ask away!"
"Call your boss."
"Huh?" He looked up and saw Ian demonic looking eyes as he shivered a bit. He was doubting if he should listen or just take a hit to get knocked out.
Well that was a thought but once he saw Ian squatting down in front of him and take a piece of the ground off with just his fingers, he quickly got his phone out.
"Since imma need his money in the future even though I have enough, you never know am I right. I'm just gonna tell your boss to not mess with Tian Wai Tian" Ian said as he heard the line ringing until someone picked it up.
'Crazy Korean. You think your threats are gonna work when we're miles away from you and out of your reach!' The T group member thought with a sneer as he already imagine him being clueless
"**Hello, did you complete your mission**-"
"Oh hey! Listen I don't know if you understand Korean but this is my warning Mr…." Ian interrupted the man but quickly turned to the person on his knees and asked for his name
"By the way, what's your bosses name?"
"Hmph. He's the one and only Xialong, the protector of the-"
Once Ian heard that, the rest of what he was saying was not heard by Ian as he knew who Xiaolong was. A person who appears in the 3rd affilate of the workers and Vivi personal body guard.
There was also where Ian read how he interrupted VIVI wedding and ran off with her.
Truly a person with strong feelings of Love despite the social differences.
"For a man who's considered the Devil. You sure talk big for beating my men who are only there for survallance, not for combat."
Ian shriveled his face once he heard that nickname as he chuckled. "And you talk big for someone who can be beaten in one move.Anyways, I didn't call so we can have a battle of words, I called so you can tell that T chairman that if he messes with my money, he's daughter will disappear like my money."
It didn't take long for a response to come back but instead of Xialong responding back with his own words, Ian heard a rough voice other than Xialong who spoke.
"Our chairman says, if you have the balls to threaten his daughter. He to will threaten your sister"
Xiaolong didn't know why but he felt a shiver down his spine and an uncomfortable feeling that made him have goosebumps. It was a feeling where if you heard someone screaming through the phone, you stop for a bit and wonder what's going on while anticipating a bad gut feeling.
You start to feel worried, curious and find your throat parched.
"Hey, tell that boss of yours. If he really does have the balls to do that. Let's see which one falls down faster. T group in China or me."
Ian crushed the phone in his hand as he looked serious with the goofyness nowhere to be seen as he kicked the last T group member into the car as ambulances sirens were starting to get closer.
Although not dead, he will live with a disability as Ian was already pissed off.
"Let's finish this."
Time passed relatively slowly for Ian but for some others, it was going fast as the movements to get the bounty, was fast for the money.
Ian finally arrived at a building where a broken glass was visible high up. He already saw a big crowd of people but something was odd.
No police were around, no civilians neither surveillance of any type was seen to be around.
The only thing he could see past the huge crowd was Tom Lee thanks to his huge structure.
"Looks like I arrived on time!" Ian yelled out as the crowd of fighters from different backgrounds turned around and looked at him.
From lackeys all the way to special forces and beyond. They were surrounding the bounty target along with Kim and his allies.
Suddenly their hairs on their arms started to stand up as they felt goosebumps. They saw two pair of demonic eyes that looked like they were tattooed black but they knew all to well this person.
Who wouldn't? He was a contestant in a famous world tournament that garnered attention from wealthy individuals to dangerous people.
Even the veterans were feeling it as they instinctively aimed their weapons at Ian but in the next second, he was already in front of them.
Taking a deep breath, Ian took a serious face as he left his body open with his arms beside him.
"Sh-Shoot Him!" A person voice filled with terror said but instantly in the next second, he saw the night sky along with half of everyone.
"W-what!?"
"Don't get flu-"
The person didn't get to finish as his head was twisted behind his back as he saw Ian back, past him.
"What are you all doing!? We're nearly 300 at least one of us-"
Another person was cut short as he felt like a truck hit his chest and suddenly lost consciousness.
Everyone didn't begin to wait as they all teamed up on Ian and forgot about their target as they needed to get rid of this devil.
Ian saw this as they all rushed towards him. A crowd of professional killers, soldiers and mercenaries were now teaming up against one man, a man that wasn't their target but nonetheless, needed to die if they wanted to live.
Throwing this shades that were hanging on his shirt to the ground, he smiled widely as he felt an insane amount of pleasure. "Let's die!" He opened his arms as he welcomed them.
Kim along with Tom Lee watch with stoic faces with the successor and the white tiger forces watching in shock at the scene in front of them.
They were watching this fight or rather, a slaughter as Ian was somehow appearing in two places while having four arms. It looked like that in their perspective as some would get knocked out suddenly while seeing Ian not getting a single bruise while anticipating everyone's moves.
It didn't even make more sense as these were not your normal street thugs, they were in wars and in many life and death battles, considered the best of the best. They had experience which was important but it seems it didn't matter
"Tom…what is that."
"….I wish I knew, that's a dangerous kid." Tom admitted it but it didn't mean he would try to stop killing him. Meanwhile the successor looked at Ian in awe.
Was this the power his father wanted for the company? Was this really a power they could control?
Ian blocked two kicks coming from the side as he started to spin them and slam them down, creating a small crater. Coming out of the small smoke the ground made, he smashed another person face into a concrete sidewalk.
Getting tackled, he used his strength to front flip while carrying the guy on his back and land on the ground with him softening the fall.
Quickly rolling back, he got back up and smashed a guys face into pavement using his legs. Using his momentum, he propelled himself forward as he grabbed two heads in his hands, and smashed them into the ground.
Suddenly seeing knives coming at him, he quickly dodged and continued to dodge until he directed one of them to their comrade while he grabbed the other knife and used it to stab the other guys back.
He flipped their feet and punched their face so hard, there heads went into the ground.
"Forget him! We're not gonna win against a monster like that! Let's use this chance to grab the target as fast as possible and let these other guys deal with-"
"I don't think so!" Ian said grabbing the guys neck and throwing him to ground so hard that small pieces of rubble bounced up in the air.
Ian shot out as he bulldozed through the crowd that was smaller and got to the other side as his back faced Kim and their allies.
"I'm not late am I?" (AN:Get it? ;)) Ian said turning his head to the side as he grinned with Tom getting a pissed off expression.
(AN: yes your late ;-;)
