Chapter 374 - Give Me All Your Money Or Else...
"You...you"re really one gutsy and weird individual"
Fox chuckled as she watched Jong Woon providing his signature followed by his fingerprints on the signature scanner.
"I"m done, is that all?" said Jong Woo as he handed the device with hands shaking from either fear or excitement.
Fox took the device, then once again checked the details of the contract on the tablet in her hands, before she placed it down, leaned forward on the bar counter and then looked at Jong Woo dead in the eye.
"Because this is your first time, I need to remind you once again that once Lee Chang Yoo is taken care of and you become a free agent, or if you join another company. Don"t even think of thinking of tricking us or you"ll pay for the consequences"
The look on Fox"s face is really scaring Jong Woo, and he couldn"t understand why, or if its because he knows that she"s an a.s.sa.s.sin or its just because she"s that scary that even those so-called gangsters who always beat him up and had killed a couple of people before couldn"t even compare to her.
Unfortunately for him, he didn"t know that it"s just because the woman before him had killed hundreds of people before, and that he"s just intimidated by her because of the aura of bloodl.u.s.t being subconsciously emitted from her body.
"Understand?"
Then her expression quickly reverted back to a bright expression like what she had shown earlier was just an illusion.
"Y-yes ma"am! Th..that kind of thought never even crossed my mind" answered Jong Woo with a stutter as he gulped down.
Cold sweat trickled down his face, because only an idiot would try to trick a killer organization!
"Now...run along" said Fox with a hand gesture like she was trying to chase away a kid that"s bothering her.
"Goodnight, and please take care of him quickly!"
Jong Woo quickly got down from his seat and grabbed his jacket at the other chair from where he sat earlier, and he bowed towards before he hurriedly scampered out of there like a frightened puppy.
A minute has pa.s.sed since that young man left, but her gaze remained on the door while thinking of something.
"It"s my first time encountering someone who would actually use their talent as a form of payment"
"I just hope you"re worth it little brat, or this would get me into trouble with the Headquarters"
She felt worry, antic.i.p.ation and amused at the same time, and she"s also looking forward to what will happen to Jong Woo once he gets freed from those people.
After all, the CEO of Jung Woo"s entertainment company will be killed, a result that would certainly paralyze the company as it would cause panic to its talents and employees.
"But the problem now is who should I a.s.sign this work to? Almost everyone is out of the country, and the rest are busy playing that stupid game. Ugh, this is something that never happened before which is annoying"
Fox was deep in thought as figures of people kept flas.h.i.+ng in her mind while her fingers kept tapping on the bar counter with a rhythm.
"Should I personally take the field this time? No, what"s even the point of retiring if I get blood on my hands again? Taking over this branch when they asked me is already my bottom line, but it"s just a pity with that twenty percent of his income that Jong Woo would need to provide for ten years"
"Hmmm?"
Her eyes suddenly looked down and noticed the table on the side, showing Michael"s profile.
"Shadow...Right, how could I forget about this guy? He only joined the organization a few months ago as a Two Blade, and now, he"s almost reaching the rank of One Blade. That"s a really G.o.dd.a.m.n fast progression as it even took me five years to reach One Blade Rank"
"Anyway, I"ll just give this job to him as there"s no one available right now. Tsk, what a lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d, that Jong Woo would certainly make it big after his ordeal. I just hope he has a way to void his contract with his current company"
After she made her decision, she quickly processed it and sent the digital contract to Michael"s phone.
"Now that"s all over and done, I should get going. I wonder if my two cute little daughters are sleeping already and if they"re father fed them well"
With a loving smile on her face, she closed up shop and boarded her Mini Cooper and headed home.
Meanwhile,
Riing~!
Michael had made his way to a famous food street when he left the Inn, and was currently eating a bowl of Black Bean Noodles when his phone on the table vibrated and rang with a notification.
Slurp!
He took in another slurp of noodles in his mouth and wiped the grease off his mouth before picking up his phone.
"Ohh…"
But when Michael saw that it was an app notification from the organization, he quickly pressed the lock b.u.t.ton on the side of his phone as he knew that where he is right now is not an appropriate place to read that message.
So Michael quickly finished up his meal, and headed somewhere appropriate.
Michael had just paid for his meal and left when a group of five people looked at each other at another table just two tables away from where he was eating earlier.
All of them got up simultaneously, quickly paid for their meal and sneakily followed after Michael under the worried gaze of the noodle stall owner.
"Aigoo, I hope that foreigner would be fine on his own" said the auntie while looking towards the direction of where they disappeared.
"It"s fine mom, he doesn"t look bothered when you softly told him about them" replied a young woman who walked past her with two bowls of noodles in her hands and served it to two customers waiting for their food.
"I hope so"
Meanwhile,
Michael arrived at an isolated part of the park beside the Han River where there"s barely any people around, who are also probably doing sneaky things as he even saw two drunk couples doing the deed on the spot.
He stopped in his tracks and took out a pair of black leather gloves and started wearing them while saying, "You guys followed me all the way here. So, how can I help you guys?"
Michael turned around to face his sneaky followers with the latter part of his words.
The group of five people looked at each other, then the other four looked simultaneously at their companion who dyed his hair white.
"G.o.ddammit, this is the reason why I told you guys to learn Englis.h.!.+ How could we intimidate these d.a.m.n foreigners if you act like a clown before them because you can"t communicate with them!?"
The white haired guy angrily yelled at them while scratching his head.
"Isn"t this the reason why you"re here?" replied a scarily looking bald man while gesturing with his head to get on with things.
"Ais.h.!.+"
He let out a sound with his mouth, a type of action to show the people around him that he"s annoyed at them, so the white haired man just scratched the back of his head and started walking towards Michael arrogantly.
"Hey you! If you don"t want to get hurt, then give u-"
Kapow!
"Ya!"
"Ya, ya, ya!"
The man didn"t even finished what he wanted to say when a fist covered in leather suddenly landed on his cheek, followed by his eyes that quickly rolled up and showing the white of his eyes as he started falling sideways and down on the ground along with the shocked exclamations of his companions as they just watched him fall with shocked expressions.
The remaining four looked at their companion who is already down for the count, then at Michael who is cracking his knuckles while looking at them with an annoyed and amused expression on his face.
"I"m busy, so let"s get this done quickly" said Michael with a hand gesture of asking someone to come at him in a fight.
The gangster didn"t understand a single thing he said, but they certainly understood that universal gesture "Come at me, bro".and all of them became angry and offended.
"This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Get him!"
"Ahhh!"
And four of them charged towards Michael while letting out a battle cry!
Two minutes later.
Four men are left groaning on the ground along with the white haired guy that is still unconscious, and at the side is Michael sitting on a bench while casually reading the message he received earlier like the previous events that happened a couple of minutes ago didn"t even happen at all.
"What the h.e.l.l is this? How come there"s additional work? And what"s up with this payment of twenty percent of his income every month would be paid to me?"
Michael couldn"t help but tilt his head to the side as he couldn"t understand this kind of payment at all as he never once encountered this.
"d.a.m.n, so we do installments now?" laughed Michael as he felt amused, but he didn"t quickly accept it and instead, he decided to visit Fox again tomorrow to ask for more information about this job as it was sent from her branch.
Michael then stood up from the bench and looked at the five people lying on the ground who were looking at him with horror and smirked coldly, and said to them with his broken Hangul.
"You...give me all your money, or else…"
