Wounded, scarred and tortured -II.

_

It's been almost twenty four hours since Yo-Han's disappearance and it's only being about 16 hours since Na-Gil realised his Young Master had gone missing. During the period, he'd searched every nook and cranny of the city only for his effort to be in vain. His failure to find Yo-han even with the seamless effort he used gave him a notion that Yo-han must have been abducted, and only one person could be the possible suspect but he needed confirmation. To find that, he needed to find someone.

Na-Gil walked into a casino and headed straight to where a young man stood by the roulette, anxiously hoping he wins the spin. It was a bit difficult for him to get to the man because of the ladies teeming around him, cheering as the ball almost landed on the spot he predicted, eventually he lost. Na-Gil managed to force his way through and tugged at the man's sleeves to gain his attention. Asuke turned around and upon seeing Na-Gil his face brightened.and he smiled warmly, forgetting the fact that he just loss a wad of cash seconds ago.

"Hey Phoenix boy!!!, You came all the way here to see me?" With his feminine voice, he called Na-Gil's old nickname which earned him a frown from the fellow. Asuke didn't care a bit, he kept laughing at Na-Gil's appearance jokingly. "Man you look corporate, so unfit for you." He said and laughed again. Na-Gil remained stoic without any friendly emotions. Seeing the seriousness on Na-Gil's face, he stopped jesting immediately and also turned serious.

"I need to see you privately" Na-Gil said. "Ha, yes, follow me." Asuke said and brought Na-Gil with him to a secluded place.

"What is it, you are very serious this time?" Asuke asked with all seriousness. He noticed how indifferent Na-Gil had being, it was a change he wouldn't believe could happen to Na-Gil. He knew a jovial and silly Na-Gil not this business man standing in front of him. It seemed as though since Na-Gil's liberation he had changed into some saint.

Instead of speaking immediately, Na-Gil took his time to slowly reduced the gap between them, he pulled up his sleeves, cracked his knuckles, stretched his neck and fold his hand to a fist in the process.

'Take it back this doesn't look like a saint, otherwise he looks like a scary tiger.' Asuke thought it's strange how Na-Gil is acting, Asuke immediately started to pick up his guard for fear of what Na-Gil might do. He started retreating backwards with each step Na-Gil took. "Hey, hey, what are you doing?" He asked as he collided with a chair which he fell into.

Na-Gil chuckled lightly with an evil smile on his face and an imitated coldness in his gaze. "Asuke, I have just two questions to ask, your answers will tell if I will hurt you or not. Okay?" Asuke nodded even before he finished asking.

"Also I wonder what Red Phoenix's Jae Woo-Hyun wants from the Tiger Fang Mafia for sending his young genius left hand man Oh Young-Ho here, under the disguise name Asuke, your response will tell if I will bust your secret to your Don, Jin Beom-Seok, you sp..." As he heard Na-Gil mentioning him being a spy out loud he immediately cover his mouth to shush him. " I will tell you whatever you need to know. Okay!"

"Good one. Okay tell me, does your Don have my boss, Park Yo-han, tall and handsome guy, in his custody?" Asuke's eyes widened immediately, 'Boss?! ' He exclaimed in his mind. 'So we've been messing with Na-Gil's boss, no wonder he is like this.'

He immediately cleared his throat and replied. "Hum, there's a guy with similar description but I am not sure of his name, he arrived yesterday night."Asuke replied without a definite answer. He glanced at Na-Gil who'd already gotten the answer he wants. Na-Gil backed away from him and approached the exit. Asuke sighed in relief but his breathing paused as Na-Gil stopped and turned around.

"Young-Ho, tell me who lead the group that carried out the operation, I swear I'll knock you out if it's you?" Na-Gil said and upon seeing the horrified look on Asuke's face he shook his head and walked towards the man, ready to land some fists.

"Hey man, I didn't know he was your man, come on, I had to gain some trust you know how this work, huh?" Asuke pleaded as Na-Gil approached him. Before he knew he blacked out.

"That's for Yo-Han." Na-Gil said and left.

The dungeon where Yo-han was kept remained silent aside the sound of drops of sweats that hit the pool on the ground and Yo-Han's incoherent breathing. A creaking sound came from the metal door of the dungeon and Jin Beom-Seok entered with a crew of fierce looking men, all stoic and ready for a good beating.another session of torture passed with Yo-han terribly wounded, blood oozing out of the side of his left eye, his lips totally burst open and blood dripping out of his mouth. He was a total mess.

Jin Beom-Seok watched as the young man lost consciousness but he didn't care. " Because of you, Kim Hyun-Jun is starting to turn against me, who are you? Die if you will, for I won't let anyone disrupt my perfect plan."

_

The chiming of Kim Hyun-Jun's phone distracted his attention and he stopped the treadmill before walking over to answering it. Many men of his age would have given up on being fit but he still tried much to keep his sexy body, especially now that he came on vacation to escape from the several unresolvable matters of his family. There is Kim Do-Joon the perfect son who suddenly changed to a mess, he claimed to have been heartbroken, Kim Do-Hyun who has been plotting to take succession rights from Kim Do-Joon, there's also Baek Na-na who has been his lifelong trouble, also Yo-han who he is trying to win over, such a stubborn child who is also causing trouble for Jin Beom-Seok. At the moment, Kim Myung-Hee seems to be the only one giving him peace of mind.

He picked up the phone and the call we as from an unknown ID. "Hello... What do you mean?... Don't you say a word to Min Ju-Eun about this. I'll take care of the situation. " He immediately hung up and dashed out of the gym without changing out of his sport wear. He ran over to his car and pulled out the chauffeur, got in and sped off, he completely forgot to strap his seatbelt. "Why is uncle doing this?" His heart leapt to his throat as he skid passed several vehicles on the highway at a very high speed.

On Na-Gil's end, he and Yo-Han's Elite Security Squad and few mafiosos under Wang Dae-Woong searched everywhere they could find Jin Beom-Seok but they couldn't, they dusted every known base of the Old Tiger Fang Mafia Lord all to no avail. Even the Intel from PiA happened to be of no use.

The search for the CEO of Min Corporation became really intense even though it was an undercover search. Not the police nor any government security department had any clue or intel about the men who arrived on their soil in search for a single soul.

When to Na-Gil and his search party, it appeared that Jin Beom-Seok and the Tiger Fang group had gone extinct, it was an effortless task for Kim Hyun-Jun to find them. As he drove to the secret spot where Jin Beom-Seok could possibly be, his mind was not the least at rest.

The words Won Tae-Soo said to him over the phone kept bothering him. 'I heard my godson is missing under your watch, Nothing, not a scratch should I find on that boy!!! You know how dare he is to me right?, I don't care if you are his father, if you can't protect him why call yourself his father, I have done so much for him enough for me to be called his father too you know?. I can't count the number of times I had to step in and shut the mouths of those who has stains on him. If you can't simply keep him safe then don't even... I don't need to waste my time, if anything happens to him, the first thing I will do is to give Min Ju-Eun a call. I know you can't deny the fact that you still care about her. Just a warning, if you fail, I'll never give you a chance to make up the second time."

He sighed heavily as he stepped out of the car and approached the base. 'Hah, it's not like I don't want to protect him, what's Won Tae-Soo trying to do? You can only dream, I won't let you.' Kim Hyun-Jun thought to himself.

'I know that CEO Won cares about Yo-han but so do I, after all the boy his my first son. His he threatening to make Ju-Eun and I fall apart if anything happens to the boy?, He knows well that Min Ju-Eun will not forgive me if I don't gain control of this situation now. Is he trying to use this chance to take Min Ju-Eun to his side?, Never gonna happen, Yo-Han is my son, I will let no harm befall him!'

He got to the entrance of the base but was denied access by the guards. He'd noticed earlier that the place is more secured than usual, he had no idea that this people will even stand guarded against him. "Hey, don't you know me, do you want to die?!" He yelled at them but they remained unfazed by his protest. Of course they know him to be the nephew of their boss but he is not a notable part of the mafia, they are only related by blood and nothing more. They only obey their boss at this point and the order is to let NOBODY into the base.

One of the guards put a call through to Jin Beom-Seok's chamber and after a short conversation he signalled to the others to let Kim Hyun-Jun in.

Kim Hyun-Jun immediately rushed to the dungeon where he knew his uncle would be. The moment he stepped in, the figure of his son's unconscious body that hung on a rope with several marks, wounds and blood stains on him welcomed Him. He slowly walked over to the boy with his eyes glistening with tears. It was difficult to hold in the tears, this is his son right in front of him, messed up like a criminal.
