Chapter 168 - Villain Without FL-Conclusion

Jonghyun was on cloud nine at the discovery of Taek's treachery. His father's biggest supporter was going to be taken out by the Company if they found out. Yang entered the room to find Jonghyun in a happy mood.

"Sir, the guards have been captured and taken prisoner," he said. "But Miss Han can't be traced."

"She escaped," Jonghyun stated, putting the map in his pocket. "But send a search party to look for her. She might be injured or worse."

"We...also found the dead body of Choi Kibum," Yang revealed. SD's eyes flickered at Jonghyun and he raised an eyebrow. Choi Kibum was dead? But SD had specifically instructed his men not to harm the comatose man because there was no point in killing someone who would never wake up.

How much longer will you keep living in this hatred, brother? He wondered warily.

"He must have died in the gunfight," Jonghyun lied in a cool tone. "How many of our men did we lose?"

"None sir," Yang replied. "Our men took down the guards. Several were injured but none of our men died. But the majority of Choi's guards are dead and the prisoners are going to reveal the whereabouts of their bosses anyway."

"Torture them if you have to," Jonghyun said. "And give me...no. Give Haein daily reports."

Yang frowned at SD who remained impassive. Jonghyun stepped towards Haein, beaming.

"I trust Haein with my work," he went on. "After all, he was of tremendous help today. I found the key to destroy the Choi's thanks to him. And Sunye was saved as well. All thanks to him."

"Sir, it is my duty," SD said with a slight bow. He loathed his brother but he kept up with the act. 

"No, you have gone beyond your duty," Jonghyun said. "From now on, you'll be the acting CEO of my law firm. I have some business to attend to over the next few days. I want you to take over in my stead."

SD bowed and said, " I accept your graciousness, sir."

Jonghyun nodded while Yang was a little wary. He did not know much about the secretary who tagged along with Jonghyun but he felt that the man was hiding something. But he shrugged the thought away.

"Sir, we'll take over the rest of the work," he said. "You can go home and rest."

"I will," Jonghyun said. "Haein, you should go as well. It was a long night and you have worked hard. You can take the day off tomorrow."

"Thank you sir," SD said. "That is nice of you."

He slowly walked out of the room, feeling Yang's suspicious eyes on him. SD was careful not to attract too much attention in front of Yang because he was aware of the man's ruthlessness. He was cunning and resourceful, one of the few reasons why Jonghyun kept him around. SD knew that he was now under Yang's radar.

I'll have to get rid of him, he thought. Fast.

Yang was still staring at SD when Jonghyun called for him.

"Yang," Jonghyun said. "There's something we need to do. I'll discuss this with you tomorrow. For now, I need to get hold of Ahn Jaejun."

"Yes sir," Yang replied, tearing his eyes away from SD. 

...

Meanwhile, in another country, Jaejun was still with Choi Taek. The latter was fuming as he was forced to get on to the ship with the other slaves. These slaves were brought in from different countries and were going to be sold off in a few days.

"You are being unreasonable, Ahn Jaejun!" Taek snarled. 

"I am merely following orders," Jaejun said. "If you have an issue, take it up with the General."

Taek's nostrils flared. He was being led to a lavish cabin but in reality it was a golden cage. Jaejun had him as a prisoner and was going to be a thorn in his way. The Company is imposing harsh restrictions on him and he was furious. 

Just then, Jaejun's phone vibrated and he took it out to find a message. Taek watched as Jaejun's eyes widened but he composed himself and put his phone away.

"What is it?" Taek demanded.

"Nothing," Jaejun lied. "You'll be kept under guard by my men."

"Wait-"

But Jaejun ignored him and walked away, smiling to himself. The message read that Jonghyun had found the map of Aberville Prison in Taek's personal safe. It only meant that SD had managed to successfully create a rift in the Company and the cracks were showing.

His heart was filled with pride at his protege. Well done, San, he thought with a slight smile as he exited the ship and got into his car. 

But the battle was far from over. It was only the beginning of a long war which they must win.

Just make it out alive, SD, Jaejun prayed as the car drove off.

…

SD entered his bedroom only to find that Sunye was not there. But a couple of scented candles were burning on the bedside desk, giving off a pleasant smell of roses. He could hear the shower running in the bathroom and Sunye's clothes were discarded in a laundry bin nearby. 

"Sunye?" he called out.

"Wait outside!" her voice came from within the bathroom. "Don't you dare come in!"

"What's the point?" he asked lazily. "I've seen it all anyway."

"No no! Don't ruin my plans!"

SD was now interested. His little lawyer had a plan for him? Was she going to whip him?

"I don't mind whips if you're the one using them on me!" He teased her.

There was no response but he could picture her embarrassed expression. SD settled on a couch and picked up a grape from a side table. Popping it into his mouth, he waited for his girlfriend. The punishment was finally over and now, he was looking forward to the reward.

He popped another grape into his mouth when the bathroom door opened and the luscious scent of lavender hit him. SD's eyes lit up when she came out of the bathroom, wearing a large, chiffon lingerie. It was white in color to the point it was almost transparent and highlighted her voluptuous body in all the right places.

Sunye grinned at his stunned expression and slowly prowled towards him. SD inhaled sharply, the grape still in between his lips. He watched as the sly vixen leaned down close to him, her hands cupping his face. She slowly came closer and bit the grape, slightly brushing his lips.

SD gulped when she ate the grape from his mouth and smirked. Sunye slowly rubbed her lips in a provocative way to torment him. 

"Will you let this humble servant entertain you tonight, Your Highness?" she whispered seductively.

SD grinned and planted a brief kiss on her, tasting the grape on her lips. 

"How about that lap dance you had promised me months ago?" He challenged her. They were holding back their urges knowing fully well how wild they were going to go later. Then why not enjoy a kinky ride on the way?

"As you wish, Crown Prince San," Sunye winked.
