Chapter 237: The visit to Kim

C/W; murder and violence.

Taesan’s POV

I miscalculated.

"Fuck!" I grunt as my back hits the solid wall of my hallway. I see black spots in my vision. There’s a reason they call him mad dog Hwang.

"Asshole" he swears, staggering on his feet as he straightens himself.

Blood is dripping from his nose, blood is dripping from the back of my head, we’re both bleeding but I’m not fucking satisfied.

No one comes into my territory and says the wrong words about my mate. My mother died that way, and I won’t let it happen to my mate.

I won’t be like my father. No. I will take up the monster side if I have to.

I spit and pull myself up. This young fucker is nothing to him. I will kill him and face the wrath of his clan.

Then I’ll wipe them off the earth. All of them.

"Listen to me" he says, spitting blood to the floor. His eyes are red and so are mine. I growl angrily, pulling myself to my full size.

He’s as tall as I am, but I’m far bigger than him.

"My mate is in trouble? Do you wish for death, young one?" I ask and he hisses, touching his nose to feel the damage I made.

"Fucking listen to me or else this is exactly how the danger would catch up with you!" he whisper-yells. Unlike me, he is very much conscious of our environment.

I breathe through my nose to calm myself, and he rubs at his jaw. My jaw burns from his retaliation, but I stop myself from rubbing at it too.

"There is a man we exposed. He has been going from clan to clan asking about a Shin Seoha. Originally, we didn’t care, but my mate saw the news and was concerned"

"What news?" I spit.

"That Seoha is the mate to Kang Taesan. The timing the news leaked, and the timing of the mad man’s exposed are too close to be coincident" the younger alpha says and I relax slightly.

’The Hwangs are not attacking my mate,’ my alpha says to calm himself.

"What does anyone have on the man? Who is he?" I ask.

"That’s the problem, he’s partially untraceable" Jaehyun responds and I run my bloodied fingers through my hair.

"Partially?" I ask and he nods, "fuck, you hit like a truck. My husband is not going to like these bruises" he says, still touching his nose.

"I will hit you harder if I don’t get the information I need" I growl.

"The reason I said partially is because none of his details are accessible. His devices are practically impenetrable. He uses the kind of protection my clan uses" he explains.

"Meaning he must be someone who has power too"

"Bingo"

It has to be my grandfather. He has always been a threat, but now...I don’t know what to think.

"And, what else?" I ask through clenched teeth. I am already planning my visit to my old bastard’s home, one of us will end up dead today.

"The person is apparently looking for a lawyer, and it seems the lawyer is here in your city" Jaehyun says.

"Name" I clench my fists.

"Lawyer Kim Bomin" he says and I nod.

That’s the lawyer I was meant to meet last night. The lawyer behind my mate’s pain. Fuck waiting till seven p.m. I’m going after him now.

"Stay with the omegas till I get back" I order.

"I don’t take orders from assholes" he scowls at me and I stop myself from hitting him again, "stay with the omegas" I say, pointing my finger in his face.

My fury is burning through my scent patch, and I know he can smell me.

"Fine" he nods.

I call my spy and ask him to give me the current location of the lawyer.

I order someone else to prepare my sword and mask. I don’t usually kill during the day, but today, today is different.

My vision blacks out and stays that way till I find myself in front of a building with my men. Mask on my face, body tense and sword hungry.

The first set of people who set their eyes on us are already screaming and looking for ways to escape but I’m not having it.

"Kill every last one of them, if you find the lawyer, save him for me" I command and they spread out.

Twenty men are with me. Some are with loaded guns and others are with knives. I unsheathe my sword and drag its sharp tip on the floor to leave a mark.

Captain was here.

Who do they think they are to come after mine?

In rage, my sword slices through a number of people. I don’t see their faces, I don’t give a fuck. I hear their screams and their pleas, but they mean nothing.

Seoha won’t end up like my mother.

I finally find the man I’m looking for; he’s trying to hide in a corner. The pathetic sight of him is the only time I slow my steps.

"Kim" I say his name loudly and he looks up like a trapped animal. "Kim Bomin" I say and in my own ears I sound like a beast.

A Kang.

"I-I-I don’t know who you are!" he screams and I move closer to him. The world is ten times brighter; everything moves five times faster.

"Seoha" I say.

"Oh goddess...oh goddess" he begs, falling onto his face with hands clasped above his head,

"You robbed him" I say and he nods. I don’t know how to put words together when I’m in this state.

I just want to waste his life like he almost wasted Seoha’s.

"I did wrong, I did wrong, I apologized to the man" he says.

"Lift your head" I tell him calmly and he does. He’s shaking, his face is pale, his teeth are clattering...and his scent, a feast of emotions.

"His aunt convinced me! she made me! oh goddess, I met the man and he made me repent"

The man.

"What man?" I ask.

"I don’t know"

"Kang?" I ask and he shakes his head, "he’s strange...he has a scar on his face, he wore glasses and...I don’t know. I don’t know, I don’t..."

His chant ends as I stab him through his back. My sword goes through his heart and his blood spills like a fountain when I pull the metal out.

Just like that. I have ended him.

Red pools at my feet and all I can think of is that there’s a new enemy on my list.
