Another Wife
Chapter 30: Background

Sunghoon or Park Sunghoon is an executive member chosen by Seungwoo himself. Rather than being chosen it might be more suitable to be called finding it.

The boy was found in a pile of dead bodies that had stiffened and started to rot. He was there blankly, waiting for his own death while holding his mother's shattered body.

It was a pretty big ship in the harbor. The place that was supposed to be used for land vehicles was filled with lifeless bodies that were thought to have been there for the past 3 days. Seungwoo happens to be on his way to certain places. He should have found his enemy here. But all he found was a pile of smelly objects that previously humans seemed to be. They are merchandise, humans are ready to sell for slaves and others. There was someone who tried to cover up his crime, he massacred the evidence and abandoned it.

Han Seungwoo looked at her in surprise. Then he approached the boy about 10 years old. It smelled almost the same as those half-destroyed corpses. His little eyes suddenly saw Seungwoo sharp. He stood by where he sat.

"You're safe now" Seungwoo stroked the child's head slowly. There was no meaningful reaction, instead his face grew hardened with fear. "Don't be afraid. I came here because I heard bad news. But it's too late, you're not safe"

Little Sunghoon thought hard, this big brother in front of him might not be a bad person. "Save my mother" She pleaded with her hoarse voice. His throat was dry from not drinking for a few days. The boy miraculously survived, Seungwoo became curious. What will make him survive so far.

"He's dead" Although Sunghoon knew but he didn't want to hear that sentence. He started crying in his place.

"Mothers... Mum..." For Seungwoo it shouldn't have rocked the corpse too hard. The condition of his body is already bad and his entire muscles may be able to come off at any time.

"Don't shake. His hand could be out" Sunghoon stopped. "We'll bury him later. But I have one question... Do you still want to live?"

Han Seungwoo might sound very sadistic by asking so. But considering that the boy had already suffered the past few days, it was possible that he would only live in a huge trauma. The revolver in his right hand he had already prepared. Ready to shoot the boy in the head.

"If I live. I can find them, right?" Seungwoo understood exactly who Sunghoon meant. Then he nodded with certainty. "Then. I'll live"

The boy looked at the pile of corpses in front of him, then looked at his mother with a different look. The fear disappeared somewhere. Then he held that almost blue hand. "Mom, I'll catch up after finishing them off"

They left the place after removing the body of Sunghoon's mother. Luckily Seungwoo took good care of it. Although they were not so close at the time and Seungwoo was in all his distress. He managed to restore the fit body of the little boy who looked almost dead inside the ship. But not with his mentality.

He often suffers from severe panic attacks. Severe vomiting. Can't even sleep quietly. Seungwoo calls a psychiatrist to Sunghoon, doing some long and complicated therapy. Not successfully. Moreover, the counseling session required the boy to tell all his complaints, things that are confidential. So Seungwoo was forced to stop the treatment.

He could only rely on Irene, then himself as a good listener. Sunghoon had trouble telling everything, he was just a doubtful little boy. Almost 3 years he lived in Seungwoo mansion without socializing, his life was bad. It's not wrong if Seungwoo offers her to die alone.

After that, the boy's real name was Park Sunghoon. He is the son of a single mother. Since his biological father did not legally marry his mother, he was a hidden illegitimate child.

He told me his father was a rich man. But never a penny of money he ever received. Her mother was sad every day, and her friend always mocked her for not having a father.

One day a man arrived at their little house. Introducing himself as his real father. He apologized and persuaded Sunghoon and his mother to live with his father's legitimate wife. Mr. Park pleaded guilty to his mistreatment of the child and the woman. Sunghoon's mother easily agreed. Sunghoon thought his mother might have lost her mind.

On removals. Sunghoon and his mother felt wrong with the direction of their goal. And they finally arrived at the outskirts of the city, a seedy-looking labor dealer becoming their final destination. With the heart of Mr. Park sells Sunghoon and his mother to a container. If Sunghoon is not wrong, the money was used by his father to cover his debt, he is in debt after losing the election that year. Money is running out for campaign costs.

2 Days after being in the shelter. They are ready to be sent out of town for auction. But while on the ship, the people carried weapons and then killed all the slaves. His mother protects him, Sunghoon is asked to remain silent until all is done. So he was there pretending to be dead next to his mother who was shot. As soon as he wakes up everyone is dead. So did his mother.

In the combat learning sessions Seungwoo mentored, he improved by leaps and bounds. The whole class like wrestling and the use of weapons, everything went smoothly. So Seungwoo tested it by holding a duel with one of his men. The result was astonishing, Sunghoon fought ferociously mercilessly. There was no glint of fear and doubt even when his opponent was about to die. He continued to hit blindly, the trial fight was won by Sunghoon by a landslide. Since then Seungwoo has been increasingly giving advice to Sunghoon.

"So you hid your improvement because your opponent was me all along? When you fight with others you cannot be stopped. I'm telling you, don't fight looking at who he is. If it's worth getting beat up, just kick it" Seungwoo said at length to this 15-year-old boy in front of him. The other person's face was still cold as usual. He bowed as an apology. "Hoon's. If training with me. My treatment is like your opponent deserves to be beaten"

"Can't do it. You'll get hurt, Hyung"

"That's the goal, little boy. I'm not going to die" Seungwoo exhaled. What the hell is that reason. "It's just a drill, it's okay to hurt me. Otherwise you'll be hurt in the future"

Sunghoon again just stared at Seungwoo for a long time. In his heart he was very. ah anyway the man in front of him was very cool to Sunghoon. He idolized. It's not wrong that he swore he would continue to serve Han Seungwoo. Sunghoon will be obedient from now on, he will not dare to betray and continue to believe whatever Seungwoo's decision. That hyunga couldn't possibly act for no reason, the man was blessed with an invincible smart brain. At least that's what Sunghoon has been saying all along. So he believed and according to Seungwoo's last command, to come with his father and leave his Master.

...----------------...

Kim Wooseok stood on the left tower trembling. He raised the gun in his hand but hesitated to shoot, seeing dozens of sangar-faced people full of tattoos in front of the mansion's thick iron gate. He had never felt this scared before.

Wooseok tried using a walkie talkie in his hand. Contact Hangyul on top of the right tower. The man looked calm and observed with his automatic pistol in hand.

"Lee Hangyul... What should we do?" Wooseok who was not trained for this situation looked panicked.

"Look down, Hyung. If they come in, finish them off. Otherwise, prepare for the worst. The most evil usually comes last" No matter what Hangyul means but Wooseok believes it. In the films he had seen before it was so, the most evil ones must have come later.

Hangyul turned to stare at Hanse who was preparing in front of the front gate with his two swords. The boy somehow looked the most tense at the moment. "Oi Hyung's. Have you secured Irene?" Hangyul talks through her walkie talkie.

"I don't know where he's going"

"What does that mean, huh? Where's Irene?!" Kim Wooseok who was still one channel snapped at Hanse.

"Wook. Focus on the front! Irene will be fine" Hanse turned up to resuscitate Wooseok. He was so panicked that he was a little messed up. Wooseok looked forward again, the people with the katana and the gun in front of him were still standing there. They look scary.

"He's fine if we can protect the mansion. So focus on the task this time" Hangyul added, she swore inwardly. The extra men haven't been here yet and most importantly, their boss hasn't made it home yet. If Seungwoo comes, there is no other choice but to fight down there with dozens of people. Or try to hit them at the risk of hitting the fence.

At 7 am. A car that Hangyul suspected to belong to Seungwoo was seen from a distance. He could only wait while hoping for anxiety. The first sight was that the car was braking suddenly and stopped. The people in front of the gate stared simultaneously at Seungwoo's car. That's not a good sight. The Yakuza members walked closer to it.

Surprisingly the car door opened. The passengers got down from there, they looked bad and messy. Hangyul can see it clearly, but does not know what has happened. The four of them, Sunghoon, were not there. Suddenly formed 2 camps and then ran into the forest.

On the other side Seungwoo along with Seulgi ran towards the forest right of the road, Seungyoun and Changkyun ran into the forest left of the road. The impromptu plan Seungwoo made was not very good, but it was his best to kill the enemy. They ran into the bushes, jumped at it and continued to run towards the forest.

'Be careful if you meet the wolves' Seungwoo's remarks still haunt Seungyoun's mind. 'They're my pets that I let hungry on purpose. The corpses will be eaten away, so don't die Seungwoo said along the way with his calm face. 'Your father too'

"Damn! Damnit damnit! Shit!" Seungyoun. Changkyun simply continued his escape in front while carrying a box of his heavy equipment.

Changkyun pulled Seungyoun into the tall bushes. Hiding their bodies there while preparing weapons. Changkyun moved quickly, his hands skillfully preparing the bullet reserve, giving it to Seungyoun as backup. The man did not forget to unload all his unused weapons, otherwise the enemy would find them and attack them with that weapon.

"Listen to me... Youn's... If you meet a wolf, don't shoot..." Changkyun was out of breath. "And. again. Don't kill them. Shoot his leg.wolves love live prey" Seungyoun nodded in understanding.

"There are 21 people following us" Seungyoun told Changkyun, their supply of bullets is more than enough to knock out the enemy.

"Continue to make distance, the sword user can only attack from close range. So let's run fast" they got back on their feet and ran to make a safe distance.

Their plan was to get to the back door of the mansion and then enter, to reduce the number of enemies they had to cripple them in this forest, letting them become wolf food. These mountains are perfect for wolf dwellings, said Seungwoo the wolf he scattered was a gray wolf that could average as high as 80cm. Pretty big and dangerous.

"Right now we are entering into their territory" As soon as Changkyun's sentence finished the noise of a noisy bush could be heard. They must have come. Wolves usually hunt in groups.

It was a wolf with a large body. He looked at the two of them from his gray eyes. They quietly waited for some people behind them, shooting down right in the leg. Surprisingly, their initial number was 21 but now there are only 17, some of them were eaten earlier.5 The big wolf jumped off the bush as it smelled blood, they have targeted the Yakuza as a fugitive. Seungyoun pointed his gun away, aiming at a few others on the shoulder. Their number continues to decrease to 10 then 5. The two of them who were slightly off guard got consecutive shots from the enemy's direction.

Luckily Changkyun and Seungyoun were able to dodge, the distance with the back door was still quite far considering the magnitude of the Seungwoo mansion required a long distance to surround it. Changkyun was mired because of the terrain that was quite steep, Seungyoun managed to grab it. Almost the man fell down.

"Sial..my legs sprained" Changkyun complained.

"Go ahead, the rest let me handle it..."

"Cho Seungyoun! If you're too late"

"Im Changkyun! Don't underestimate me. I command you as the head of the Golden Crown! Quickly get out of here" Seungyoun shouted in a low voice.

Changkyun finally closed her eyes for a moment. "Well, sir" He lowered his body a sign of respect before running limped away from Seungyoun. Changkyun cursed all the way, if Seungyoun dies then he dies. She just doesn't get out of her mind how Cho Seungyoun can be just as fierce as her boss, they have the same forcing charm.

Not long after the sound of a shootout behind him sounded loud among the trees. This position is dangerous not because of the Yakuza, but because Seungwoo's pet is starving. They're gonna get more violent.

Seungyoun takes shelter well behind the tree. Those people are hard to stifle because they're blocked. He tried to shoot ear-deep next to a tree, hoping the sound of the bullet's whirring disturbed someone hiding behind it. And succeeded. 2 people he immediately paralyzed. The bad news is that the wolf has killed its prey and is looking for other prey, approaching those who are shooting. Seungyoun makes use of it because the enemy's concentration is split, allowing himself to be seen by Seungyoun and instantly shot.

Immediately after that Seungyoun ran away chasing Changkyun, the man was quite far ahead. But some wolves followed him, making him a target.

"Changkiyun! Faster!" Seungyoun shouted even though the distance was still far behind. The man sped up his run, his legs throbbing painfully.

Fortunately up ahead Han Seungwoo and Seulgi were seen panting together, waiting at the back door. The tall man raised his gun, shooting at the 2 ferocious beasts chasing after Changkyun and Seungyoun.

"Everything okay?" Seulgi asked.

"Death to all" Changkyun lifted her thumb. The answer sounds off-putting at all but that's a good thing.

They entered through the back door, directly leading to the back of the main mansion building.

Meanwhile a helicopter leads to the spacious courtyard of the Seungwoo mansion. Inside was an old man holding his cigarette, blowing it into the air. "I'm down. Protect from below"

The man down there was on standby as he ordered. Seeing Hangyul directing his engine fire towards the helicopter, the man aimed at the target hitting Hangyul's shoulder.

"ASSHOLE DO HANSE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Hangyul yells angrily at his partner who shot him. Hanse looks flat while observing the helicopter that managed to land there. Seungwoo and the others had already come there. See the helicopter that landed successfully.

The helicopter door was open. An old man came out from there in his strange clothes. It looks like a more modern clothing. His entire body contained many tattoos, almost covering his entire original skin. Hanse approached saluting in.

"For a long time no see, Otosan*" Hanse greeted.
