Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 245 - Chaotic

Gunshots echoed throughout the city, blood was spilt, and dead bodies were strewn across various clubs. The whole town was painted red with blood. It was a blood bath.

That was Dan-Han's way of reminding everyone that he wasn't someone to be trifled with just in case they had forgotten. It was his way of sending a warning to any other gang or mercenary that might be hired in the future to hurt his woman, that this was the fate that awaited any of them who would be stupid enough to threaten or touch his woman.

This was who he was, and he wasn't ashamed of it.

No one believed something like this could happen in few hours. When news of this got to leaders of different gangs, both small and large, they all wondered the identity of the precious woman who could awaken the demon lying inside the man. The last time something like this happened was years ago, and that was when Dan-Han had recently picked up the reins of his father's company. Then it was business-related, but now it was because of a girl? When had he even found himself a woman?! Everyone was in the know of how he hated the female species.

But what left everyone in shock-surprise, most especially those concerned, was the quick demise of Choi Corps. Its stocks had plummeted in less than five hours, and someone has purchased it.

What the hell was happening?! 

"Who did this?" Chairman Choi roared out as he slammed his hand on the desk. The veins of his head popped as he glared at the Jin-Ho.

Still maintaining a calm expression on his face, Jin-ho replied, "Sir, it's President Lee."

Chairman Choi's eyes widened in shock when he heard him. He couldn't believe it.

"Dan-Han?" His tone was filled with incredulity. How was that possible?

"Are you sure?" He inquired again while Jin-Ho nodded affirmatively.

Flashes of anger seared through his eyes as he gritted his teeth.

"Call him," He ordered, and Jin-Ho quickly got it.

He passed the phone over to the chairman when it began to ring. Chairman Choi anxiously waited for the call to be answered; each ring was irritable.

"Hello," He hurriedly said when the call finally connected. The voiceless response from the other side of the phone told him it was Dan-Han, and he was silently telling him to speak as he was listening.

"Dan-Han, what's the meaning of this?! Why did you do this?" He furiously demanded.

"Do you know what you've done? How can you do this?!"

He was taken aback when Dan-Han chuckled, but it wasn't that of amusement, but one that made him shudder.

"You should be grateful I didn't come after your whole family. But if you provoke me more than I already am...." He slurred. He'd allow him to fill in the blanks himself.

"And if you want to know why, go ask your daughter." He informed him. "And by the way, tell her I'm coming for her." He added before hanging up the phone.

Chairman Choi was shocked when he realised Dan-Han had hung up. His mood went dark.

And what did he mean by his daughter? What has that brat done?

Chairman Choi was about to say something to Jin-ho when his secretary rushed into his office unannounced.

"Sir, the shareholders, are in the conference," he announced. He wasn't surprised to hear that.

"I'll be there." He told him before glancing back to Jin-Ho.

"Where's Mi-ok?" His tone was cold and menacing.

"At the mansion."

"Keep her there. Make sure she does step a foot outside her room." If her foolishness were the reason for this, then she'd wish she had never been born.

"Yes, sir," Jin-Ho replied.

...

Mi-Ok's Room

Mi-Ok hadn't been able to have a proper sleep since that person's threat earlier this morning. She could swear that was Dan-Han's voice on the phone, but something in her had refused to accept it. She didn't want to believe in the possibility that that was true.

How could that be? How could Dan-Han have been there at the time?

She had tried to call the number back, but it had not been reachable. She had tried calling her friend who had connected her to the guy, but her number was also unavailable.

She reached for her phone once again and dialled her number. Luckily this time, she picked up.

"Why the hell happened to your phone?!" Mi-ok snapped.

"Hey, don't yell at me like that. Keep it down. What happened?" The girl over the phone asked.

Mi-Ok wanted to snap at her again, but she controlled herself as she bit her inner lip.

"That guy...I haven't been able to contact him. I want–"

"Oh, you didn't know?" The girl interjected her, making Mi-Ok raise a brow. "Know what?"

"Something happened, and their whole gang was wiped off last night. Rumours have been going on that they pissed off someone really bad." The girl explained in a mysterious voice, almost as if she was scared.

Mi-Ok's eyes widened when she heard her. Th..the guy was dead? How was that possible? She had spoken to him at midnight, so when was it that he was killed? And did she say his whole gang? So there was a possibility that that girl was still alive? Does this mean that she had indeed heard Dan-Han's voice? Could the person who they had pissed off been Lee Dan-Han.

"Do you know who had done this?" She asked nervously.

"No, but I heard it's someone really powerful. It was a blood bath. The whole city is in an uproar." Mi-ok didn't know why but she felt cold shivers run down her spine as she heard what her friend had said. She suddenly remembered Dan-Han's threat to them at his family's house.

Could this really be his doing? Would he go this far just because of a classless and lowlife girl? And if truly he had done all of this, what should she do?

She was definitely in trouble.
