Garcia Han finds herself alone in the middle of a huge yet dark room. She was tied to a chair but her eyes weren't blindfolded. Though she was expecting this, the uncertainty sohow made her anxious.
Will Nicole be able to pull her role well? This troubled her the most.
After sitting alone for a while, the door was opened and one man walked inside. He stood a few steps away from her and looked at her.
"Who are you?" The Minister snapped. "How dare you kidnapped ! Are you courting death?"
"Calm down, Minister," the man simply said. "We have no intention to hurt you as long as you cooperate with us."
"I don't know what you want but you will never get it. You should just give up now," Garcia Han firmly said. Her voice hinted no sign of backing down!
"You don't have -"
"Did Peter Jung ordered you to do this?" Garcia Han interrupted the man before he could say anything.
"What made you assu that?" the man asked Garcia Han.
"Why? Did Peter Jung thought that I have no idea about how he worked with my stepdaughter?" Garcia Han sneered and turned away. "Let talk to the Pri Minister."
"You might be the Minister of Justice but here, you have no say. You're not in a position to make a request," the man firmly said.
"It's up to you," Garcia Han simply said with confidence. "Call your master and tell him that I have the information which he wanted the most right now. If he wants to know it, tell him to co here."

"It's been two hours, Aston. Why didn't I receive any call from them?"
Nicole was sitting in her study with a phone next to her ear. Though files were piling up in front of her, she couldn't concentrate at all. Alex Jo was also sitting on a couch a few steps away. Judging from his expression, it was sure that he was feeling anxious.
"Please be patient for a while, Nicole." Aston Kang calmly said from the other line. "If things went well, we might be able to end it before they even get the chance to call you. So, trust ."
"Will my stepmother be fine?" Nicole was trying her best to stay calm but as each second passed, she only grew more anxious.
"Yes," Aston quickly said. "Nathan keep an eye on Peter Jung's n. He won't give them the chance to make a move."
Nicole remained quiet for a while and attempt to clear her mind. "Alright. Don't forget to call if anything happens. Be careful too."
Aston's lips curved into a little smile when he nodded. "Will do. See you soon."
"Seems like Nicole worried a lot." Carson Jun who was sitting inside a car with Aston instantly remarked the mont Aston puts down his phone.
"That's true," Aston replied. "I hope that she will be able to stay put."
Carson Jun quietly glanced at Aston for a while before he said, "It won't be easy for you to help Garcia."
"I think I feel that way in the past but not now," Aston said and added, "Especially after knowing how she was connected to my late father. She is just another victim of the world's cruelty, like and Nicole."
Aston Kang quietly stared at his phone before he turned to Carson Jun. "Sohow, I believe that once we get rid of Peter Jung, the world will beco a better place to live."
"I like your mindset," Carson Jun said. "I think I understand why Nicole is too obsessed with you."
Aston Kang chuckled when he heard the Chairman's remarked. "Isn't it supposed to be the other way round? I don't want people to think that way."
"You're equal," Carson Jun quickly added and Aston nodded with a smile.
Soon, the two n shifted their attention back to work.
"Do you think Peter Jung will take the bait? He is a very careful person," the Chairman said to Aston.
"I can't say it for sure but if one is desperate to get sothing, they easily get blinded and quickly lost their ability to think clear," Aston stated. "I doubt he will ignore this chance."

"How did the Minister of Justice even know to guess that you are the one behind the kidnapping?"
Colin Park was sitting in the Pri Minister's study with the Pri sitting on his left on a single couch. When one of the Pri Minister's n called and relayed Garcia Han's words, the Director couldn't believe it.
"I think we underestimate her," Peter Jung remarked. "I should have known that she never gets her eyes off her stepdaughter."
"Are you saying that the Minister hired soone to tail her stepdaughter?" Colin Park asked. "That ans we shouldn't be at ease. She might already plan sothing to attack us."
"Have you already forget how Garcia Han truly feels? Do you think she will also target her stepdaughter just to take us down?" Peter Jung firmly said, glancing at Colin Park.
Colin Park thought about it for a while and shook his head. "I don't think so. Though she appeared indifferent, the Minister has a soft spot for her stepdaughter. She always ends up forgiving her even if she defies her."
"What matters right now is that she said she knows the information we wanted," Peter Jung quickly said.
"Then shall we negotiate with her?"
The Pri Minister thought about it for a while. Feeling troubled, he placed his elbow on the armrest of the couch and covered his eyes with his left hand. "It's risky but I think locating Shara and Norina is more urgent. They are like a ticking bomb for us."
"If that's the case, you should et the Minister, sir," Colin Park said. "If she tried to play a trick, we can just take care of her. Even if soone suspects us, they won't be able to find evidence against us."
"Don't be so confident. Do you forget how we were left with no choice but to kill that police officer years ago? There shouldn't be another mistake," Peter Jung said, sternly.
"I understand. Even if things go wrong, I will take care of everything without a mistake."

Inside one mansion which was around an hour drive from the Pri Minister's mansion, Leon Jung was sitting alone in a dark room. He just puts down the headphone in his ears and stared at his computer screen where every conversation and scene of the two greedy n were played.
He knew that Aston was telling the truth when he said that his father was the one who killed his father, Ethan Min. He knew it but like a fool, he still hoped for it to be not true. However, his heart sank when he heard his father talking about it himself.
The Pri Minister wasn't even his biological father. Why did he still feel hurt by his action?!
Leon sat still and only stared at his computer screen for a while. Though it was almost midnight, he suddenly rose from his seat and dressed up to leave. He must do sothing before there is an addition to the number of his father's victims.....
