“Where are you going, sir?” Dan asked as Lei arranged his suit in front of the mirror. He made sure there weren’t any creases.
For this day, he needed to look his best.
“Are you going on a date with Lena Park?” Dan added, a teasing look on his face.
Lei clicked his tongue and turned around, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“No,” he deadpanned. “I canceled the date.”
Dan’s eyebrows raised in curiosity. “I thought it was going well.”
“It is,” Lei said, turning back around to the mirror. “We’re getting to know each other pretty well. I was even supposed to take her to a hotel later in the evening.”
“However,” he added. “Our plan is going so well, so I reckoned it’s time for me to talk with Kwan.”
Dan couldn’t help but smile. “Is it finally time, sir?” he asked.
“Yes,” Lei said. “We’ve been chatting about old video games, along with some business talk here and there. I believe he isn’t too interested in his entertainment company since he rarely talks about it. I think he won’t mind signing a deal once I show him his uncle’s wrongdoings.” Dan nodded and inserted his hand inside his pocket. “Shall I get the van ready, sir?”
Lei smirked while staring at himself in the mirror.
“Yes,” he said. “It’s time. Phoenix Entertainment will finally be mine.”
Meanwhile, in Haruto’s penthouse, June was also getting ready to go to the head’s house. “Dang, you look really handsome,” Haruto said as June went out of his room, dressed in a white polo tucked in some black slacks. “Are you going for a casting audition or what?” June sighed and shook his head. “Might as well impress the head while we’re at it.”
Haruto nodded and continued to inspect his appearance.
“And the briefcase?” he asked. “Are you going to bring it?”
“Not right now,” June said. “It’s not needed.”
Haruto frowned. “How are you going to convince Kim Kwan to side with you, then?”
June sighed. “Just get the car ready.”
Haruto pursed his lips and nodded. “Marcus is already downstairs. Let’s go.”
June wheeled Haruto outside his penthouse and went down to the parking lot. They were met Marcus, who helped Haruto inside the car.
June looked at the chrome-covered car with appreciative eyes. “You got a new one?”
“Yup!” Haruto excitedly exclaimed as June also entered the car. “It’s nice, huh?”
June merely nodded as he settled in his seat.
With that, they sped away to UN village.
June was silent on the way there while Haruto continued giving information about Kim Kwan. “He’s pretty young-only around Marcus’ age,” Haruto started off. “However, his net worth is already estimated to have reached 1 billion dollars. That’s US dollars!”
“Aside from that, he has relations with Kim Young Do, and it’s rumored that Young Do is able to keep his position in Phoenix despite being corrupt because of their filial ties.”
June looked out of the window, gazing at the familiar scenery.
“Are you listening? These are all important information. You need to show that you’re really interested in him,” Haruto said.
“Yeah,” June said. “I’m listening.”
Meanwhile, Lei also glanced out of his window as Dan drove him to Kwan’s house.
A small frown graced his face when he saw a fancy-looking car next to them.
“What is this?” he muttered. “A Ferrardi?”
He clicked his tongue, not wanting to appear pathetic next to the sports car.
“Dan, speed away,” he said. “I don’t want to be next to this thing.”
Dan swooned as he glanced at the car next to them.
“Got it, sir,” he said, pressing on the gas to surpass the sports car next to them. With the sports car out of his view, Lei felt more relieved.
As expected, he always wanted to be the best in everything-no matter what aspect that was.
“Marcus, you’re going way too slow for a sports car,” Haruto sighed.
Marcus pursed his lips. “I’m only following the speed limit, sir.”
June chuckled in amusement. “You must be the kindest hitman I’ve ever met,” he said.
Marcus couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you, June.”
The car ride was filled with Haruto’s comments and stories about Kim Kwan, making June’s ears hurt.
Finally, after a couple more minutes, they arrived at UN village, the richest subdivision in Seoul.
“We’re near,” Marcus said.
June crouched down a bit to look outside of the window. He could see towering houses next to each other.
After a while, the car finally came to a halt. June frowned as he looked at the house in front of them.
“This is his house?” June asked.
Haruto shook his head. “No, his house is three houses down. The big one right there. Do you want us to park right in front of their gate?”
June shook his head. “No, this is perfect,” he smirked, finally opening the door and getting
out.
He saw a distant van in front of Kim Kwan’s gate, causing him to tilt his head to the side. Did he have another visitor?
As June was about to walk to the house, Haruto reached out his hand from the window to hold
onto his wrist.
June looked down at him.
“Be careful, alright?” he said, sounding concerned.
June smirked, taking Haruto by surprise. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I got this.”
Haruto pursed his lips and decided to trust June.
“Call me when you’re nearly done. We’ll pick you up here again.”
June nodded. “Alright, I’ll see you later.”
With that, the Ferrardi sped away from UN village, leaving June all alone.
“Ah, we’re finally here,” he muttered as he walked down the street.
Then, when he arrived in front of Kim Kwan’s house, he stopped.
“Azure,” he muttered as he looked at the plate number of the van parked right in front of it.
June frowned. “Don’t tell me he’s here.”
With that, he walked a couple more steps-finally arriving at his destination.
Then, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and hovered it above the doorbell. However,
it wasn’t just him.
Another hand shot through, holding onto his wrist with profound strength.
“You…Why are you here?”
