Thinking of the evidence which he never saw, Peter Jung went wild. His years of hard work could be destroyed and it made him lost his conscience.
He roughly withdrew his hand from Mathias collar and glanced around the room. Then he saw one thing which was always so tempting to him whenever he couldn't think clear - a golf stick.
Giving in to the temptation, he walked towards the golf stick and picked it up. He hardly squeezed the handle before he walked back to Mathias who was still standing.
With Leon and Shara defying him, he was already more than frustrated. He couldn't locate his wife and now... even Mathias was failing him! Things never went his way these days! Now that Cassandra was rescued, he lost his chance to know the one behind that plan and also the evidence!
Anger rushed through his whole body when he thought of all these! Then he suddenly lifted the golf stick and hardly hit Mathias on his left upper arm. The latter clenched his teeth in pain but he didn't utter any single word. He stood firm and made no attempt to stop the Pri Minister!
Peter Jung was already too blinded by rage! He lifted the golf stick and continuously hit the man on his left arm and the sa spot. Though the forces were not as huge as the first one, the continuous hit made Mathias involuntarily took a step back before he collapsed to the floor!
He tried to stand up again but it seed like the rage blinded Pri Minister was still not done!
Peter Jung threw the golf stick to the side before he walked towards Mathias who was on the floor. He rcilessly kicked the young man on the chest and stomach, continuously and with a huge force!
"You destroyed my efforts for years!" He shouted yet he won't stop his actions.
Feeling the excruciating pain throughout his upper body, Mathia ended up coughing in blood. He braced himself and endure. He was always good at enduring but this ti, it was too much! He knew that he won't last long if this goes on but still... he didn't resist or protest.
He was a well-trained young man who was barely above 25. If he truly wished to fight back, there's no way for the middle-aged man like the Pri Minister to beat him. He knew that he could easily out strength the Pri Minister but he chose not to. It was his act of repaying him for the past and... the mistake which he deliberately made.
He was already prepared for this when he made that decision. He already saw it coming.
Finally, the door was opened and Daniel Gu rushed in. When he saw the scene, he quickly rushed to the Pri Minister and though he knew he shouldn't, he holds his master back. "Please stop, sir. You will kill him at this rate," he pleaded.
Peter Jung was already lost too deep in the darkness. As such, it took him a while to feel his right-hand man's grip on his body. Slowly, he was snapped out of the rage that almost swallowed him!
Halting all his movents, he narrowed his eyes and realized what he had done. The blood on Mathias arm caused by the golf stick, the blood which he coughed out and his worn-out body. He unconsciously took a step back and turned away.
Now that it was over, Mathias tried to gather his strength and stand on his feet again but... he couldn't even move properly! Still, he refused to give up and try again.
Peter Jung shifted his gaze back to him and saw him struggling to get up. "Mathias," he muttered. What had he done?
When Daniel Gu heard this, he quickly helped Mathias to get back on his feet. Though he felt like his whole body was burning, Mathias braced himself and stood on his feet. "I'm fine," he barely muttered the two words.
Without saying anything, Peter Jung nodded at Daniel Gu and the latter quickly helped Mathias who looked like he could pass out any minute.
Glancing at the Pri Minister, Mathias slightly bowed once. Then he left the room with the help of Daniel Gu.
The mont the door was closed, Peter Jung shut his eyes and clenched his fist before he pressed it against the middle of his forehead. He walked towards the window and stared at the outdoors where Mathias was helped by his n to get inside the car.
He shook his head when he recalled what he did. He shouldn't lose control. He shouldn't do that, especially towards Mathias.

"Take him to the hospital." Standing next to the car, Daniel Gu instructed the young man who was sitting on the driver seat of the car which Mathias rode.
The young man nodded and started the car. The mont they were out of Daniel Gu's sight, the driver pulled over the car and quickly turned his body to look at Mathias who was sitting in the backseat.
"I know this will happen. I beg you many tis not to do that." His concern and annoyance were more than evident in his voice.
"Even if you let her go, we can leave the villa before the Pri Minister ca. He won't be able to find us but..." He sighed when he looked at the wound on Mathias's arm. "You can avoid that if you're not so stubborn."
Mathias was leaning his head towards the car window. When he heard his friend, there was a subtle smile on his lips. "Why should I run away, Alan? I deserve this and if uncle finds out what I did... a beating won't be enough." His voice was barely above a whisper and he instantly coughed the mont he finished talking.
"You will have to pay for it with your life," Alan said, glancing at his friend with concern.
"I know," Mathias muttered. "But I think it's worth it."
Alan stared at his friend and shook his head. "You're helpless." He sat straight and glanced at Mathias through the front mirror. "I will take you to the hospital. It's clear that your wounds are not trivial."
When Mathias opened his mouth to say sothing, Alan noticed it and beat him at that. "You don't listen to when you release that woman. So, I won't listen to you this ti. You will receive treatnt and that's final."
Sensing the sincerity in his friend's voice, Mathias gave in and leaned his head towards the window again before he slowly closed his eyes.

"Do you really want to stand against Peter Jung?" Joshua Kim asked Cassandra who was lying on the hospital bed.
"You know I don't change my mind once I made a decision," Cassandra muttered. "Besides, the war already started. There's no going back."
Joshua Kim remained silent for a while and then nodded. "You're right. We shouldn't let him go after he did this to you. He should pay for it."
"Uncle Joshua," Cassandra uttered, glancing at the man with a surprised face. "Does it an that you're willing to help ?"
Joshua Kim slightly smiled and caressed Cassandra's hair. "I can do anything for you. I only want you to be safe and for that, Peter Jung should be gone."
When the Moyan Boss face lit up, Joshua Kim continued. "I have many useful things to attack Peter Jung. You don't have anything to worry about."
"As long as you're on my side, I'm not worried," Cassandra promptly said.
Joshua Kim holds her hand and gently patted it. "Then you should recover soon."
Cassandra nodded and Joshua Kim turned to Nathan who was standing beside him. "I think we should have a chat."
"Alright," Nathan replied and looked at Cassandra with a smile. "I'll be back soon."
Cassandra watched the two n as they left her room and she was feeling a bit uneasy. Joshua Kim was the one who assisted her adoptive father in everything and... Nathan's father was killed by her adoptive father.
Will they be able to have a normal chat?
When the door to her hospital room was knocked, she responded, "Co in."
The one who ca inside was none other than Jaxon. Joshua Kim told her before that Jaxon was outside.
Jaxon made his way towards her bed and halted when he was two or three steps away. His eyes were lowered yet he didn't miss the wounds and bruises on her body. His arms were both tucked to the sides and he ended up clenching his fists. "I -"
"If you're here to apologize and bla yourself, forget about it."
Before he could say anything, Cassandra's words shut him up.
"I trust you enough and let them capture . I'm grateful that you didn't fail , Jaxon," Cassandra said.
"You saved but you almost died," Jaxon uttered.
"It's not like you never risk your life to save mine. You do that countless tis," Cassandra argued.
"We're not the sa, Boss. You're -"
"I'm really tired now, Jaxon. I'm not in a condition to argue with you."
Her voice was calm but Jaxon understood right away that it was final. Then he lowered his head, "I apologize."
Cassandra maintained her silence for a while but when that mysterious leader crossed her mind, she quickly turned to Jaxon again. "I want you to find soone for ."
She must know why he did that. There must be a reason.....
