Peter Jung observed Shara for a while until his lips curved into a little smile. "Do you not trust that much?" He asked.
"Do you think trust exists between us? I only live this way because I don't have a better choice." Shara's voice was too unyielding and at so point, it even made the Pri Minister flustered!
"You have a better choice ten years ago, Shara. You are the one who throw away that chance, all because of your love for my son," Peter Jung said and rose from his seat. "Is it really worth it? Why do you give up your freedom just to stay beside Leon? Now, he turns his back on you without even knowing the truth."
He smirked and then shook his head. When love becos a weakness, it was the scariest thing ever! She was the one who decided to live this way when he offered her to run away. He told her to turn a blind eye to what she heard and never to show up in front of his family again yet she refused. She chose to give up on her freedom and offered her service to him.
Shara squeezed her dress when she heard him. Soone like him will never understand her decision! Did the Pri Minister even have a heart? She doubted that!
"Why? Do you regret your decision now?" Peter Jung asked her with a mocking voice. He always knew that this day would co but...
"No." Shara's firm response ca very fast. Glancing at the Pri Minister, she bravely t his gaze. "I don't regret it at all. Even if I have to choose again, my decision will still be the sa. Rather than letting her die, I will spend my whole life this way, following your orders."
Peter Jung clicked his tongue while glancing at Shara with a disappointed face. "You're really a fool." He remarked.
"You have never once experienced what I went through. So, you don't have the right to judge ." Shara coldly uttered. Her bold expression showed no sign of backing down!
Peter Jung sat down again and thought about it for a while. Then he said, "You want to et her, right? Fine. I will allow that. However, rember this." He made a deliberate paused and continued by saying, "Once you see for yourself that I still keep my promise, I won't tolerate this disrespectful deanor again. Don't forget what will happen if I lost my patience."
When she thought of her late father, Shara really wanted to kill this two-faced man! However, if she acts rashly, their plan will fail and she will never see his hostage again. Her years of endurance will beco futile! So, she slowly let loose her hand that squeezed her dress. "I understand," she finally muttered. She tried her best to be respectful but it wasn't easy!
"That's better," Peter Jung said. He rose from his seat and approached his desk. Then he pressed one button on the right.
They waited for almost a minute until the door was opened and one man walked inside. The man was Daniel Gu, Peter Jung's right-hand man and also a guard who was in his late thirties. He approached the Pri Minister and bowed when he was a few steps away.
Peter Jung briefly eyed Shara before he turned to Daniel Gu and said, "Go and bring Shara to et her."
Daniel Gu had worked for the Pri Minister for almost 15 years now and he didn't need further explanation on the command. So, he quickly bowed. "Yes, sir."
The Pri Minister turned to Shara and the latter made her way to the guard. "Don't take too long." Peter Jung said and Shara nodded. Then she left the room with Daniel Gu.
Shara entered the backseat of a car and like always, Daniel Gu also entered and sat beside her. There was a driver in the front who was also one of the Pri Minister's guard.
Just before the driver started the car, Shara turned to Daniel Gu with an annoyed face. She knew what will happen as she had gone through this procedure many tis. "Do it," she bluntly said with an unpleasant voice.
"Please excuse then," Daniel Gu formally said and take out a black cloth. Then he hooded her so that she won't be able to see the roads that will lead her to a place where the hostage was kept. This was the normal procedure in the past ten years. She wasn't allowed to know the location and if she knew, she might already do sothing against Peter Jung!
She wasn't allowed to bring anything there, especially her phone and any types of weapons, not even a wristwatch. So, she could never guess where they were taking her.
"Even if it's uncomfortable, please bear with it for a while," Daniel Gu said to her and she turned away though she couldn't see anything.
"Do I even have a choice?" She said to the man in a sarcastic tone but the latter remained quiet.
Shara was skilled and the Pri Minister highly valued her. That's why even the right-hand man of Peter Jung was bound to show her so respect. Then the driver started the car and they set off for their destination.
anwhile, Aston was in his apartnt staring at his laptop. His phone which was in loudspeaker mode was placed on the table to his right. When he noticed the movent of the GPS device which was displayed on his laptop, his eyes flickered. "They are moving." He said to the man on the other line.
"Got it. My n are all set to leave." Leon who was inside the car which was parked tres away from his family mansion responded. He instantly signalled Ryan to inform the other mbers.
"I will leave my apartnt right away. Let's set out after ten minutes," Aston said and quickly stood up. He walked inside his room and picked up a handgun which was placed in one of the drawers. He checked the bullets and then put the gun in his waist. By no ans, he won't fail today. He was ready to clear anything or anyone who stood in his way!
anwhile, Leon put down his phone and an idea quickly crossed his mind. "It's ti for a little assurance." He murmured and then made a call.
Peter Jung was still in his study when he received a call from his son. He answered with a little smirk on his face. "I thought you have forgotten about ."
"Was it you? Shara is gone and so of my n are injured. Was it your doing?"
"Why ask the obvious?" Peter Jung simply said.
"Father, Shara belongs here! You should stop this."
Peter Jung sighed. Was he wrong? It seed like his son still hasn't gotten over Shara! "You are the one who locked her up against her will. I also see the marks on her legs caused by the chains you put on her." He said in a stern voice.
"She betrayed and the organization. I ought to punish her for that. It has nothing to do with you." Leon firmly said, refusing to give in.
"You should give up on her. She didn't care about you and before you even know, her life already belongs to . Just accept that." Peter Jung helplessly sighed once again. When will his son stop behaving this immature?!
"If that's the case, you shouldn't allow her to be a part of the Blackhood. Don't you know that once she becos a mber, she has to live according to the rules?" Leon asked in a challenging tone.
Shara already started her training with the Blackhood before she worked for him. However, Peter Jung thought that it would be a greater chance for him to keep his son in check if Shara was beside him. That's why he allowed her to be a part of it. Now, he started to regret!
"Do you think I don't know about your rules? If Shara wish to left, she can," he argued.
"I don't care. Shara still has to pay for breaking the rules. I will make sure to get her back." Leon bluntly said and hang up the call.
Peter Jung stared at his phone and shook his head. What was he supposed to do with him?!
anwhile, Leon puts away his phone with a nonchalant face. He never wanted to get involved in his father's business but now that he chose to do it, he was more than determined. It's more than ti for his father to stop and there was no way for him to sit still while Shara was involved. That call will stop his cunning father from having any suspicions on him and he will be able to carry out the plan smoothly.
After a while, he glanced at his wristwatch and noticed that ten minutes had already passed. Then he told Ryan to order their mbers to set out now. While Ryan complied with his order, the driver started the car and they followed Shara's location which was shown by the GPS device.....
