Unexpected Union

"Where is the charter?" Taehyung inquired, his voice laced with concern, addressing his subordinates.

"Sir... we... we couldn't meet this month's charter! We still need approximately 50,000 essence!" The servant responsible for the charter confessed, his voice trembling. Taehyung's brows furrowed, his lips forming a tight line.

"And why haven't you fulfilled the required amount by the end of the month?" Taehyung questioned, his gaze steady. The servant stared back at him, fear evident in his eyes.

"We... we faced multiple fatalities that forced us to close the night club for a week," the servant explained. Taehyung closed his eyes, releasing a frustrated sigh.

"Do you even know how to perform your duties? Deaths? What on earth happened?" Taehyung asked, annoyance seeping into his voice. The servant immediately glanced at his subordinates, his expression filled with concern.

"Seven of my team members miscalculated the extraction process, resulting in immediate fatalities. The police arrived and took the bodies for investigation... We have reopened, but the club is still under scrutiny," the servant explained, his eyes unwavering. Taehyung's fist collided with the wall in frustration.

"You incompetent and worthless individuals! How could you not gauge when to cease the extraction? Pathetic losers. Who are they?" Taehyung demanded, his anger escalating. The servant bowed his head, swiftly leading Taehyung towards the seven subordinates who had failed in their responsibilities.

"I believe I no longer require your services!" Taehyung declared, his voice filled with disdain, motioning for his shadows to take care of them.

"Eliminate them all!" Taehyung commanded, swiftly departing from the scene.

"As for you... I expect the 50,000 to be added to next month's charter! If you fail... I'm afraid you will join them next month!" Taehyung warned, his eyes darkening, before walking away.

As Taehyung arrived home, he hurriedly bypassed his brother and made his way towards his father's chamber in the lower section of their grand mansion. Minho couldn't help but smirk at his brother's behavior, finding amusement in being ignored.

"You really know how to hold a grudge, little brother!" Minho remarked, his face relaxed but tinged with mockery. Taehyung halted his steps and swiftly turned to face his brother.

"I don't have the time or desire to talk to you! I'm in a rush and I simply don't want to engage with you!" Taehyung retorted, attempting to walk away, only to be stopped once again by his brother's words.

"Unfortunately, you'll have to wait regardless!" Minho replied. Taehyung furrowed his brow in frustration.

"And why is that?" Taehyung inquired, but his attention was immediately captured by a female voice. Slowly turning towards his father's chamber, he was taken aback by the unexpected presence at the door. Jisung, seeing his son, motioned for him to enter his chamber. Taehyung approached his father, his gaze fixated on her. Jisoo, equally surprised by the appearance of the man from the nightclub, looked at him with a mix of bewilderment and fear.
