Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Capturing the Drug Lord(Part 2)

"Why did you use the secret code to meet with us? Did you want to explain why you were not able to complete the delivery today? Looks like you forgot what type of work you will be doing," the person sitting to the side of the one in the middle had been looking at Min-Jae since he first entered the room, and he said this to him. There was a different expression on his face, neither angry nor happy, just a simple straight question with a very cold demeanor.

Upon hearing this, there was silence from Min-Jae's side because he saw something that made him regret his decision to come here. A person's body lay on the floor, and there was continuous blood flowing from him. Min-Jae had not been able to see this when he first entered the room due to the low lighting.

He witnessed a person have been beaten by a man with a baseball bat, and the whole bat is soaked in blood. That man goes to the left side of the middle sitting person and sits there.

"What happened? Why are you not saying anything? He asked you a question," the person sitting to the left of the middle person asked Min-Jae in an angry voice. From his tone and the look in his eyes, he seemed like a very rude and impulsive man.

Min-Jae, still processing the shock of the grim scene in front of him, stammered, "I... I didn't expect... there's someone..."

"What are you afraid to see him?" and pointed to the person's body on the ground, and there is a smile on his face.

The man on the left abruptly stood up, knocking his chair back, and approached Min-Jae menacingly. "You think you can just walk in here and witness something you shouldn't, and then act innocent? you also said there is something important then what are you waiting for, Explain yourself!"

Before Min-Jae could respond, the man in the middle raised his hand, signaling the aggressive man to step back. "Let him speak. We need to understand what he knows."

Upon hearing his boss speaking, the man stopped and continued to sit on his chair. Because the man is sitting in the center where there is the most darkness, Min-Jae cannot be able to see the true face of the person.

Min-Jae, collecting himself, began to recount the events at the police station and his decision to distance himself from the drug trade. He explained the increased risks and the involvement of law enforcement. The man in the middle listened attentively, but there was an underlying skepticism in his eyes.

As Min-Jae spoke, Captain Lee and her team continued their approach, unbeknownst to those in the room. The atmosphere was charged with tension, with Min-Jae caught between the menacing figures in the room and the impending arrival of law enforcement.

The man in the middle, after hearing Min-Jae's explanation, leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. "You think we are fools, do you?"

Hearing this, Min-Jae is in shock and wanted to refute this, but before he could say anything, the middle sitting person again said something.

"According to you, the police members have caught you before doing the delivery, and they have evidence about you because they caught you red-handed, and they let you go by saying that you are innocent and they find the wrong person."

Hearing this, Min-Jae readily agrees with what the person said.

"Hahaha... You fool! They wanted to use you to reach this location. You are only a pawn in this game, so they released you to find us, and I think you did not find anyone not to follow you because they wanted you to think that they believe in you, and they definitely bugged you to catch this location. She is Huntress. You can't even imagine how much she could plan to catch us. She is very dangerous, and I have to admit it; she is very clever as a fox."

Ji-Won, who got to the side of the road and only heard some part of their chatting, when she heard this, she is also shocked. She did not expect that this person is able to think like that there is a trap, so she did not want to waste a single second and give them time to think or flee here, so she rushed inside without any worry.

"You've brought trouble to our doorstep. So, there is one end for you, and you know that, right? And whether your story is true or not, the consequences remain the same. We need to deal with this situation, and you will have to pay for what happened by you, either that mistake is conditional or unconditional." The middle-sited person said this to Min-Jae.

Hearing this, Min-Jae is like an ice sculpture and a pig waiting for slaughter.

Just as the man finished speaking and finished his instruction to his boys, the door burst open, revealing Captain Lee and her team ready to take control of the room. The sudden intrusion caught everyone off guard, and the unfolding game had taken yet another unexpected turn.
