Destroying My Own World

Mykel and Elena were enjoying their drink, and people started to pay attention to them because of how charming those two were. They recognized them, but since they were in a VIP room, people couldn’t approach them because the bouncers were guarding the area. Mykel and Elena could see people were taking photos of them and didn’t react to it.

Suddenly they heard a commotion from the crowds, and when they turned around to see, they saw Kang Jo Yoon with his friends walking toward them. Mykel stared him in the eye, but when he thought Kang Jo Yoon would come to talk with him, he threw a bottle of beer at him, but Mykel grabbed it before it hit his face.

"Thanks for the free drink," Mykel said as he opened the bottle and drank it.

"Move," Kang Jo Yoon said as he glared at the bouncers.

The bouncers walked away and left the area since they didn’t want to be a part of it.

"Do you know who owns this place?" Kang Jo Yoon asked as he stood in front of the table. "Get the fuck out of here!" Kang Jo Yoon continued and swung his hand on the table. All the glasses and bottles on the table got thrown away and hit the wall.

"Looks like he really hates us, and a musclehead," Elena said and drank her whiskey so casually.

Kang Jo Yoon glanced at Elena, and he immediately swung his hand at the glass in her hand. Elena could see his shoulder moved before he swung his hand, and so she put her hand away which made Kang Jo Yoon’s attack miss.

"Do we have plan B?" Elena asked as she looked at Mykel with her head tilted.

Mykel kicked Kang Jo Yoon’s left leg from under the table, and Kang Jo Yoon’s leg bent backward as the loud cracking could be heard by them. His left leg looked like a grasshopper, he fell to the ground as he screamed in shock.

"That’s plan B," Mykel answered. "You can deal with him, I’ll deal with the other," Mykel continued as he stood up.

Mykel fought the others, and they were all pulling their weapons to fight him. Everyone was screaming in panic as they were trying to leave the place.

"Alright, what should I do with you?" Elena asked as she stood up and looked at Kang Jo Yoon on the ground. "First thing first, I’ll take this hand for trying to get rid of my drink," Elena grabbed Kang Jo Yoon’s left arm and bent its elbow forward. "Now this is for wasting all my drink," Elena grabbed the other arm and bent it forward as well.

Elena sat on his chest as she emptied her glass and heard Kang Jo Yoon’s scream in pain. She looked at Mykel and he was done with Kang Jo Yoon’s friends, and then she looked at the sword that Kang Jo Yoon brought with him. She unsheathed the sword and looked at the sharp and shiny blade.

"They said this sword is indestructible, and its sharpness is top-notch," Elena said as she stared at Kang Jo Yoon’s scared expression. "Should we test it out?" Elena asked with a smile.

"No! Please! No!" Kang Jo Yoon shook his head repeatedly and begged for mercy.

Elena kept staring him in the eye as she pointed the tip of the blade at him. She then stabbed his right shoulder, and it was so smooth that she didn’t hear any breaking sound. She wasn’t satisfied with it and decided to move the blade around until she heard a lot of cracking sounds coming from his shoulder.

"Now that’s the good part," Elena said. "Oh, now that I heard Eun Soo is no longer in South Korea, I think there won’t be anyone who can heal you if I cut off your arms," Elena continued as she looked at Kang Jo Yoon’s right arm.

"I’m sorry! I’ll do anything!" Kang Jo Yoon screamed in a trembling voice.

"You would?" Mykel asked as he looked down at Kang Jo Yoon.

"I swear!" Kang Jo Yoon said as he nodded his head repeatedly.

"Well then, who told you that Eun Soo left the Sinhwa Clan?" Mykel asked.

"Jeong Ahn’s manager, Kwan Sook!" Kang Jo Yoon answered without hesitation.

"I already have a suspicion of him since he stayed in South Korea while Jeong went overseas. So he has been giving you a lot of information and used them to shake Sinhwa Clan down. Is that right?" Mykel asked.

"Yes! I bribed him!" Kang Jo Yoon answered as he kept nodding his head. "I gave you the answer you want! So please let me go!" Kang Jo Yoon asked.

"Sure, but under one condition. Would you like to leave this place with your sword, or would you prefer to leave with your arms intact?" Mykel asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"My arms!" Kang Jo Yoon answered without hesitation.

"I believe that would apply to your friends over there as well, right?" Mykel asked again.

"Yes! Take them!" Kang Jo Yoon nodded his head.

"How generous, I’ll take them then," Mykel smiled and went to grab all the artifacts that his friends brought with them.

"You picked the wrong people to mess with. I guess this isn’t your lucky day," Elena said as she stood up and slowly pulled the sword from Kang Jo Yoon’s shoulder. "Now leave," Elena continued after she walked away from him.

Mykel grabbed all the artifacts and thankfully they were all accessories. He then left the nightclub with Elena as the people were watching from the sides. As soon as they came out of the nightclub, dozens of reporters were waiting outside, but when they saw the sword in Elena’s hand with blood on it, they all immediately moved away. Mykel’s gloves were also covered in blood which terrified them and they wondered what had happened inside.

Elena walked to the car as she dragged the sword and the tip cut the ground like butter. She waved her hand at the cameras and then entered the car and left the scene, leaving the reporters with their mouths and eyes wide open.

"Well, that plan B was really effective. Why do you like to play a long game in the first place? I still don’t understand why you enjoy it," Elena asked as she looked at Mykel.

"How many artifacts that we took?" Mykel asked as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Nine?" Elena answered as she looked at the backseat.

"If we play a long game, we can get more than that. Now that this happened, I can’t get the rest of them since they might run away after this. Seeing that the reporters saw what happened, it leaves a bad taste no matter who’s in the wrong and my whole plan is ruined," Mykel answered.

"So, was it my fault that I insulted him that led everything to this?" Elena asked and she looked a bit guilty.

"What’s done is done. I’ll just use plan B on this as well," Mykel answered.

"Sorry," Elena said as she frowned.

"Not every plan will work, Elena. You don’t have to feel sorry about anything. I never mad at Jeanne and the others if the plan failed, right?" Mykel asked as he looked at Elena.

Elena hummed as she pursed her lips and nodded with understanding.

The next morning, the news spread like fire and everyone found out what happened last night. As everyone was getting fed by the news as their entertainment, Mykel and Lyneth were busy sabotaging all the business in South Korea and offered something that they wanted as long as they work with Sinhwa Clan. He opened a new possibility for them through connections with people around the world and that was enough to put them on a leash.

Everything was settled in just half a day, and it amazed Elena who watched everything from the beginning. She admired both her father and mother they worked really well together. She wanted to learn how to make a deal with Lyneth, and how Mykel pushed them into the corner for Lyneth.

"For the final part," Mykel said as he stood up and approached Jeong’s manager. "This guy is the one you’re looking for," Mykel tapped his knuckles on the manager’s chest.

Jeong was surprised and he listened to Mykel’s story to see why he was confident that Jeong’s manager was the culprit. After he was convinced, he looked at his manager with anger and disappointment, and then he asked his vice leader to drag the manager away.

"Now that it’s done, you can feel at ease because right now these people are now working for you," Mykel said as he pointed his thumb at the meeting table where all the important people in South Korea gathered. "If one of these guys started to annoy you, just call me. I’ll deal with them," Mykel patted one of the guys’ shoulders. "For now, I’m going to enjoy my time here and please don’t bother me," Mykel continued and left the room with Lyneth and Elena.

Jeong was dumbfounded for the second time, but this time he felt happy.
