My enemy's enemy is my friend.

Seung-Heon sat in the Lee family torture room, overseeing a session of interrogation. He had had an heavy expression ever since he heard of what was going on outside the Lee Manor. Why did that old plum have to come looking for the Lee Master? His secret will definitely be exposed. He had used their influence to control Jin Beom-Seok in country P. Only him knew that it was just to make Jin Beom-Seok do his bidding, no one ordered him to do so.

All what he did was just to see through Yo-Han. He needed to know more about the fella. To know the magnitude of his strength and who might be behind him. He knew for sure that Won Tae-Soo stands behind Yo-Han but that force is not enough to make Yo-Han so fearsome. As he'd expected, one of Yo-Han's major backbone surfaced. Someone he could not ever think of. 'CEO Kim Hyun-Jun?'. 'And here I was hiding behind the shadows of the Kim family back when I kidna... Ehm, when I took Dan-Bi away for some time. No wonder he did not fight the Kim family back then. Yo-Han was abnormally level-headed then, I should have known. Was he playing with me all along? Now that I know that the Jin family is the one Yo-Han really wants to destroy, the pieces form a whole clear picture. '

He shot his gaze away from the screaming victim of torture and fell back into his thoughts. 'I hope crawling back to him now will help me out. No I can't do that. He wouldn't consider me more than an enemy. And all I am doing is for the sake of love but now I am close to my ruin. The Lee family will definitely not spare me if I am discovered. What should I do?' He was so disturbed that he had to leave the room and escape to catch some fresh air and put his thoughts together at the same time.

Inside the large garden in the Lee Manor, one close to a small lake, Seung-Heon sat at the foot of an old willow tree and brought out a picture from his chest pocket. It was a picture of a young woman and a pretty girl who were both beaming with happiness. He moved his thumb to the face of the young woman and smiled sadly as he rubbed her fair cheek. "Mom, your pretty bunny is in a tough spot here, what should he do?... I wish you were still alive, I wish you were still here to berate me and prevent me from diving into this in the first place. If you were here to smack me, I wouldn't have thought of avenging your death. It turns out that father is not clean. For Pete's sake, did you know he is involved with the Lee family? the same people who killed you? Even his superior Won Tae-Soo has no clue that he is so dirty. Soon CEO Won will have no choice but to turn against Yo-Han and the betrayal will be so sad. I hope you chose this man because you didn't know he is such a crook like this. I wish to hear from you that you didn't know he was this despicable because I want to get back at him. I want to tear him apart for selling you into the hands of this wicked people. But I am in a tough spot myself. I can't make a move or the Lee family will find out that I am not on their side. I am as good as done for.' He hung his head in defeat and stared at the root of the willow tree. It then occured to him... 'The roots are always desperate for water and they find it, not minding causing damages to whatever stand in the way, hence they survive. Desperate diseases have desperate remedies. '

"I still have some time. Until the Lee Master agrees to meet Jin Beom-Seok, I can still get back at Jang Chul-Soon, even then, with the hope that I find some protection, I can still take him down. He might be my father but I refuse to walk in his footsteps. After all, I was only trying to use the Lee family to get to the truth and now that I have seen it. I should hurry up, find Yo-Han, the only one capable to help and protect me while I make my revenge." He sighed guiltily. 'I can't believe I will have to go crawling to him for help after how much I had antagonised him but it appears I have no choice but to be shameless.'

The next morning,

Yo-Han exited the restroom and strolled into the bedroom, stretching lazily and yawned due to his exhaustion. It was so because he spent all night calming Dan-Bi. If not for Choi Min-Ji who came to drag her home, who knows if she would still be here crying. Remembering the events of yesterday, sadness consumed the glint in his eyes but it wasn't long before he shook away the thought. "It's for the better." Just at that moment, there was a knock on the door and Yo-Han hurried to open, not waiting for the bodyguards to come in to inform him of whoever's arrival it is. He was sure that his brothers had finally visited thus he went to welcome them. He yanked the door open and his view was obstructed by the bodyguard's huge body. The man bowed in greeting and that was when Yo-Han who was anxious to see the trio caught sight of the Devil standing in the hallway.

"What are you doing here?" He frowned as he asked.

"Boss should we get him away?" One of the bodyguards asked but Yo-Han shook his head. "No, he is not a friend but not dangerous either. Leave him be."

At Yo-Han's description of him, Seung-Heon chuckled. 'This was expected.' He cleared his throat and asked, "May I come in then?"

Yo-Han did not respond but he walked back into the room. This was enough for Seung-Heon to realize that he is welcome. If not, Yo-Han would have slammed the door to his face.

Just as Seung-Heon stepped into the room, a bodyguard followed. Since he is not an ally, then he needs close watch. Seung-Heon did not mind at all, he just quietly took a seat and jumped straight to business. "Yo-Han. I need your help."

That phrase caught Yo-Han off guard. Initially, he was pouring a portion of wine for Seung-Heon as courtesy demands that you do for a visitor but when he heard that sentence, he missed the cup and spilled on the white table top. He set the wine down and questioned, "Did you say something or I am hearing things?, Me help you?, Don't you have the Lee family behind you? Why do you need my help?"

Seung-Heon, with all seriousness, he said, "It will be hard for you to believe me since I have been in you way all along. Note that I did all that out of Jealousy. Jealousy that you had Dan-bi. I am sure I messed up for playing with her feelings, but even though my feelings were not something that would last forever like yours, I still coveted her. I could not help but do against you, that's the only way to repay for my loss. But now, I don't have anything to do with her than being mere acquaintance since she wouldn't consider me as a friend. But there is an even greater reason why I went over to the Lee camp. I can say that it is something we have in common. I wanted to avenge the death of someone I loved. I needed to gain the Lee families trust in other to find the truth. I had no choice but to show them they can trust me. In order to do that, I sold your secret to them. Though I don't regret it, I hope you can listen to my story and render your help. I am certain that you can win against the Jin, Sun and Lee families. Even if they are nothing compared to the Baek and Yoon families, You have enough backing to bring them down. That's why I have come to meet you. Help me I need to avenge my mother who was killed by the Lee family. If you do I have a secret I will let you in on. Something important to you. Just help me ou..."

Yo-Han cut in as he was already getting tired of Seung-Heon's rambling. "What if I choose not to help you. Will you keep fighting against me. From you attitude it's easy to figure out that you are stuck with the Lee family and anymore move you make will be trouble... But what has that got to do with me? Talk to CEO Won, he sponsored you didn't he? Since you are the son of his trusted right hand man, then you should have no problem receiving help from him. As for me, I don't want to have a thing to do with you. Sorry about your mother but we are not in the same condition, Park Mit-Eum is not my biological father, I think it's about time you know since the news will spread soon. I am a Kim, Kim Yo-Han is my real name, I am the first son of Kim Hyun-Jun and my parents are still alive, I am only trying to avenge a beloved uncle, but you, you are a manipulative rogue who is making up a story, how do I believe that the story about your mother is not some silly excuse to switch camp? Even if it is true, I still can't trust you that easily. Just yesterday night, I was informed that my most trusted man, Sung Na-Gil turned his back against me already, how then can I trust a devil like you, whose true picture is obvious? Aish, I hate people who switch loyalty." Yo-Han rose up and headed for the door. "You can leave now, I have no help to render." He gestured to the door.

Seung-Heon sighed in defeat. He expected as much he only hoped that he could find favour from Yo-Han. "You wouldn't even hear all I have to say?" He said as he rose to his feet. "I know a lot of the Lee families secrets, I can help you a great deal don't you think?" He studied Yo-Han's facial expression but Yo-Han didn't seem to want to soften nor yield. "He then shook his head and knelt on the ground. "Two syndicates are opposing each other greatly. I am sure that you as the "Ridder" must know this much about the underworld. CEO Won will drift to the side of the Lee family's syndicate, he has no choice. He will not remain by your side and now that the Jin family has been neglected by the Lee family, the Sun family will begin to draw nigh to the other syndicate scared that the Lee family will let go of them when they are no longer of use. The Lee and Sun families will eventually have a clash. You will have a chance to destroy only the last man standing. Since the other party will be destroyed in the feud. The Lee family is strong, they will win, and you will have them as your only opponent. Please let me stay by your side and destroy the Lee family for you." Seung-Heon explained truthfully. 'He was serious enough for me to waver a bit. If I give Seung-Heon the chance it will be great but can he be trusted?' Yo-Han contemplated.

"Jang Seung-Heon, you are still crafty enough to robe CEO Won into this. Still, I can't help you. You may take your leave." Yo-Han gestured to the exit.

Seung-Heon stared at Yo-Han with eyes full of regret. He rose from his seat and said. "I know you can't trust me, but from now on, I truly am not on the Lee family's side. My enemy's enemy is my friend. That is what this is but since I am the needy party, I guess I have no say in your decision." Seung-Heon stepped forward and exit the room.

Yo-Han frowned at his own actions, Seung-Heon seemed to really need his help but he turned him down, he felt bad about that. But he already did what he did. He shook it off even though he felt like he would regret this decision.
