Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 478: Declaration Of War

“I’m going to kill, Yong-Gun!” Ki-Jun thundered with eyes brimming with rage. He was filled with so much anger he was negligent of the pain and weakness in his body.

“Oh my, this is unbelievable.” Sena gasped as she shook her head in disbelief. She protectively held Eun-sun’s hand in hers as if to protect from the evil plan of Kim Yong-Gun.

Neither she nor Ki-Jun could believe that Yong-Gun could hatch such a vile plan. Not only had he taken their child from them for such a long time, but he had also wanted to kill her and them only to take their property.

Properties he could have easily asked for, and his request could have been considered and may be granted if that was what he really wanted.

But kidnapping and killing? The imagination was above them.

“I was nice to Yong-Gun, but that is what I get from him?” He glanced at Dan-Han with an irritable scowl. “You shouldn’t have let him go. You should have called the cops. I want him to pay.” He snarled.

“Are you sure?” Dan-Han arched his brow at him.

.....

Ki-Jun’s forehead creased. “What do you mean?” He asked, not sure what he meant by that question.

Was he asking him if he was sure about making Yong-Gun pay for what he had done to him and his family?

“Are you sure you can exert your punishment on him?” Dan-Han out rightly asked.

“Are you saying I can’t?” Ki-Jun scowled at him, but Dan-Han non-committally shrugged.

“I’m not saying anything. But you and I know you’re not that kind of a person. With you, Yong-Gun will get away with a slap on the wrist. I mean no disrespect,” Dan-Han apologized when the crease on Ki-Jun’s forehead deepened. “-but the truth is you’re a pacifist, and you are not what Yong-Gun needs to get his retribution.”

“So are you saying -”

“I’ll see to your brother because he and I have a bone to pick,” Dan-Han told him matter-of-factly.

He had made himself Yong-Gun’s enemy when he involved himself in an issue he wanted to hide; thus, the man would come after him.

But aside from this, Dan-Han was going to make Yong-Gun pay personally. Firstly, for the pain, he had caused his woman. He was a vindictive man, and that was something he would never change.

Secondly, for having his minions shoot at him. That was something he wasn’t going to let go of.

Ki-Jun’s scowl slightly deepened as he held Dan-Han’s gaze. “Dan-Han, I’m grateful for your help to my family. If it weren’t for you, I can’t even begin to imagine what could have happened to us, but this is my family, and I’d want to make Yong-Gun pay in my own way. You can do whatever you want, but that’s not stopping me.” He told him matter of factly.

Dan-Han blankly stared at him for a few seconds and tersely nodded. “Fine.” He replied.

“Good.” Ki-Jun nodded. “I’ll call for an immediate shareholders meeting-”

“I think the first thing you should do is revoke your power of attorney before the meeting,” Dan-Han suggested.

“And you’re in no place to conduct a meeting right now,” Sena added with a warning tone. He wasn’t leaving the hospital bed for anything, not when he had just woken up from a coma.

Ki-Jun looked at her briefly before asking for his phone. “Call my attorney, and tell him-” He paused when he remembered what Dan-Han had said about him working with his brother to assassinate him and his family.

Dan-Han didn’t tell him how he had died, but he wished he had had a very painful death.

He still couldn’t believe how vile people could be. One was his brother, and the other he had considered a friend and had helped them at various points in their lives, but they were both going to kill his entire family simply because of something as vain as money.

Money they’d never be able to finish in their lives before they died, and even when they did, they wouldn’t be buried with it.

How wicked could people be?

“Call someone from the legal team. I want to revoke the power of attorney before that bastard gets to do something, that’s if he hasn’t done enough damage already.”

“I think the most important thing is getting Mi-Cha back. We must find and bring her back before that brother of yours does. And just so you know, I’m going to fight him tooth and nail if he dares tries to take her from me. She’s my child. I raised her for twenty-three years. Not him. Me!” Sena snapped.

Ki-Jun’s face eased, and a worried frown replaced the look of anger on his face.

“But where are we going to look for her?” Ki-Jun sighed.

“I’ll arrange for some people to look around for her.” Dan-Han offered, and Sena nodded appreciatively.

“Thank you, Dan-Han.” She didn’t know how she was ever going to thank him. She was eternally grateful to him and seeing the way he was staring at Eun-sun, she knew her daughter couldn’t have made a better choice.

Away from there, Jun-Sun held a calm look on his face as he stared at the man in front of him.

“If this is about your son-”

“It’s indeed about my son. I heard you called a hit on him. You shot my son.” Jun-Sun said with a low drawl.

Yong-Gun sighed. “He should be happy he’s not dead. If I had held the gun myself, he’d be dead by now.” He sneered.

Jun-Sun’s lips curved up in a sinister smirk. “You’ve become bold, Kim Yong-Gun.”

“And you’ve become too old, old man Lee.” Yong-Gun retorted.

Jun-Sun mirthlessly chuckled. “You shouldn’t forget who you truly are in our society. You’re not really a Kim. At least not a legitimate one, I’m told.” Jun-Sun said. His lips twitched amusedly when he saw the surprised and displeased reaction on Yong-Gun’s face.

“Isn’t this why you’ve been scheming behind your brother’s back?” Jun-Sun cocked a brow at him. He smiled when the muscle of Yong-Gun’s face twitched with animosity.

“I’ve been nice to you because Ki-Jun and his kind-hearted self accepted a bastard like you even when your father ensured you were left with nothing. But that kindness is long gone in smokes the moment you made my son a target.”

Jun-Sun took a step closer to the man. “I might be old, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to protect my son, even if he’s a more capable person. You started a war with me when you harmed my boy, and unlike you, I don’t go behind people to scheme. I bring my declaration of war to their doorstep. So henceforth, Yong-Gun, you’ve become my target.” He declared.

Jun-Sun silently held his gaze, which seemed to be burning with annoyance or whatever it was. He didn’t care. What he cared about was that he had to set things straight before someone else assumed the Lee family had become weak and was open for the taking.

He had stepped on a few toes on his way to success; thus, he had a lot of enemies to serve him for generations, which was why he had trained his son to be tough enough to hold the family up in his absence. But while he was still here, he was going to protect his son, and Yong-Gun was one of those men he had to protect him from.

Yong-Gun’s eyes darkened as they narrowed at Jun-Sun. “I accept this challenge of yours. But I hope you protect that son of yours well because I don’t think he’d be getting out of my claws alive.”

Jun-Sun scoffed. “Worry about yourself from henceforth.” He said and turned away to leave when the nurse who had taken his blood for some blood work approached.

He had only walked a few steps when he stopped and turned to face Yong-Gun again. “And Yong-Gun, for your sake, I hope you’ve stolen as much money to keep you safe because you’ll need more security. Do you understand me?” He arched a brow.

He chuckled when Yong-Gun kept a blank stare on his face, but he knew what that look was.

Yong-Gun might have been able to amass some wealth for himself in the past years, but whatever he had accumulated would be nothing but a minute drop of the wealth he had purposed to steal.

With the type of trouble he would bring to his door, his soon-to-be short-lived wealth would not be able to cover it.

He snickered and turned around to follow after the nurse, who hopefully was not going to take more of his blood. He had decided to do his routine check-up while waiting for Dan-Han, who had banned him from going to Ki-Jun’s room.

He was sure the boy had a plan in his head, but he always kept it to himself till it was executed.

Dan-Han was a brilliant and capable boy, and that was why he wanted him to marry someone equally capable and who could support him when hard times, and not the girl he was with.

He still didn’t understand what his son had seen in her. Maybe he could talk to Ki-Jun to help talk some sense into his head.

Because he was out of options.
