Pay With Your Heart
Chapter 336 - Ten Days

Dan-Han had been a bit surprised when the Kim second master agreed to being the father of the missing child. He had posed his question to taste the waters, but who knew the man would willingly admit it.

Strange.

After watching the footage from the airport several times and analysing all facts regarding the issue, he had a hunch Ms Soo-min might have been romantically involved with the man and had gotten pregnant with his child. And from the way things had turned out the man must have been ashamed and displeased by the turn out of event, and had tried to settle things by locking her up till her pregnancy came to full term, so he'd take the baby and probably get rid of her. But somehow, she must had escaped hence the scene at the airport.

For weeks he had pondered on several theories on what could have happened and this had been the most likely scenerio he thought was possible. He didn't really know what had happened, but given the man's reaction he could tell he was on the right path.

"Boss, wait." Tae-Ho suddenly stepped in front of Dan-Han as they neared the glass entrance door. Dan-Han didn't need to be told what was wrong. He shot a cautionary look around the place and he didn't miss the red infrared dot on his chest indicating a sniper was aimed at him.

A light chuckle escaped his lips.

He must have struck a chord in the heart of the man still seated inside the restaurant. This child existence must be a secret he'd kill for and even take to his grave. His eyes darkened at the threat being made at him.

Tae-Ho whipped out the gun from his shoulder holster. He stood in front of Dan-Han as a body shield, and turned around to face him but his eyes weren't on the boss but at a certain side of the building where they had just come from. He removed the safety of his gun and muttered, "Boss."

That's was him asking for permission to take a shot. To people who didn't know him they'd think he was aimlessly pointing his gun at the wall, but to his men who had suddenly cleared a path for his shot they knew his gun was directly aimed at the boss of the people who had a gun pointed at their own boss. With his precision and the monstrous caliber of his gun, the man wouldn't miss.

By seconds the air suddenly turned stiff. Despite being in the line of fire Dan-Han had a very calm look on his face, not a sweat broke on his face, and he was still like he was Pondering for something.

Without looking at Dan-Han, Tae-Ho called again, "Boss." Though his face was blank as a sheet of paper, but his tone revealed the impatience in them. It was common knowledge how short fused he could be when the boss was threatened. He wasn't even concerned he was acting as a human shield for him.

"Wait." Dan-Han replied.

Dan-Han was certain Mr Kim wouldn't be stupid enough to make a move on him. His confrontation must have threatened him and his current actions showed that he wasn't ready to have his secret revealed, but Dan-Han knew the man wouldn't be able to hurt him and he was currently trying to instill some fear in him in return for threatening him.

How bold!

Dan-Han took out his phone from his pocket and dialled Mr Kim's number.

"I heard you have a gun aimed at him." The man said the moment he answered the phone.

"I'm only retuning the favour." Dan-Han calmly replied. The man chuckled in an even more amused tone.

"You're an interesting young man."

"And I'm not a fan of threats." Dan-Han curtly informed him. "You have 10 days." He said before disconnecting the call.

Mr Kim wasn't an ordinary man but Dan-Han didn't care whoever he was. The last thing he condoned was threats towards him or the people around him. He had intially given him two weeks, but not anymore. This was the consequences of provoking him.

He had no intentions of starting a war with the Kims, because even though they weren't as powerful as the Lee's, the Kim clan weren't lacking in power either. And their strongest base was currently in country A where his Centenary project was based, and starting a fight wouldn't appease his father as there has been some years of cordial relationship between the head of both families, at least that was before they moved out of country C.

The head of both families had been friends in their youth, and even first madam of the household, Sena had been his mother's best friend before the death of her child made them relocate. For these reasons he couldn't do anything to the man. He just wanted to help his mother fulfil her promise to Ms Soo-min.

"Let's go." He said to Tae-Ho before walking ahead, while the other followed behind.

"Move the Madam to the old mansion." He ordered the moment he stepped into the car. Now that he had told Mr Kim about her existence, he was sure her life would be in danger and living in the old mansion with his father was the safest place she could be right now.

"Yes, sir." Tae-Ho answered knowing fully well Dan-Han was talking to him.

"Sir, where next?" The chaffeur asked while looking at the boss through the rear view mirror.

"Here." Tae-Ho passed his phone to the chaffeur. Their agenda was a visit to Eun-sun's foster mother.

.....

In a dark alley, a black sedan with tinted glass was perfectly hidden in the dark.

"Boss, she's inside." A burly guy reported as soon as the glasses wound down, while his boss responded with a single nod.

Stepping out of the car, he cast his halfly burnt cigarette to the floor, before taking a step towards the house across the street.

He paused and stared at the house. It was the same as it had been ten years ago. Seeing how it remained standing and had not been sold out yet, he knew there was only one person was responsible for it, Eun-sun.

"Open it." He ordered, and the next second the door was kicked open with a loud bang startling the occupants inside of it.

Song-Hee who was leisurely laying on her couch jerked to her feet, her hand reflexively grabbing the bottle of alcohol on the table as she vigilantly waited for who was about to step in. But the moment her eyes fell on the man who walked through the door, her body stiffened like she had just seen a ghost.

"Ho....ney?"
