Song Areum woke up to an extremely blurry vision. She blinked a few times to clear her vision as memories of what happened before she lost consciousness flooded in, giving her a pounding headache.

She groaned while reaching up to rub her forehead but found her hands were tightly bound. As her vision finally cleared, she registered her environment. She was in an empty warehouse with her hands tied behind a chair, judging by the empty crates in the corner and metal structure.

"How cliché." She muttered and rolled her eyes at this scene. She could already guess what was going to happen to her. She had already experienced being kidnapped multiple times before. It was the price that came with being Song Yun Gak’s prized granddaughter and in the past, the future Madam Choi.

To test the strength and expertise of the kidnappers, she yanked her wrists and found out that it was perfectly knotted where each jerk or motion would only tighten it.

"Just great." She sighed, leaning back in her chair to await her kidnappers’ conditions. What was it this time? Money? Humiliation? Secrets?

She pondered over the options and wondered if she had a checkbook in her purse to buy them out. If these men can be bought with money and not loyalty, it should be easy to swindle them out as long as she was able to triple the rate they were paid with.

She looked at the tin roof and saw there was a window up there. The sky was dark which meant night time had come. A smile fell on her face. These men have screwed up.

Park Jimin would already be on his way to her house or he was already there and discovered her absence. She was sure that if anyone could find her, it would be him. Or maybe her grandfather had already made his move, since her shadow bodyguards would have reported something to him.

Her eyes scanned the environment once again, this time carefully assessing her surroundings. Aside from the empty crates she first saw, she now noticed that there were sturdy wooden crates that had dirty plastic covers haphazardly thrown over it. Her eyes squinted to read the "handle with care" labels on the boxes.

What was in them? This obviously wasn’t a simple warehouse. She leaned to her right to check out the box closest to her but it was at least a few feet away.

If she squinted hard enough, she can tell that the items inside were still wrapped with brown paper. Whatever was in these cargo boxes must’ve been important for it to be so well-protected.

Her purse was nowhere in sight. If they rummaged through it, she was sure the dagger she always carried in her person had already been discarded by now.

When she finally started showing herself in public again, Song Areum didn’t bother to walk around with any security detail to the disbelief of her grandfather.

Her relationship with Choi Soobin had been publically severed. Not only that, in the process of doing so, he announced his greatest weakness. Now, the enemies of Choi Soobin had an actual target in mind and it was none other than the woman he pranced around with in public.

After a few minutes of utter boredom, while her mind produced zero escape routes, she grew tired of waiting for her kidnappers to show up. Seriously, shouldn’t someone be in here with her to monitor her? It seems these people are quite confident with their skills. For all they know, she could’ve been planning a grand escape by now!

Just as that thought crossed her mind, she heard something outside. It sounded like multiple cars rapidly pulling up. Within seconds, the door to the warehouse opened and several men walked in.

Song Areum’s eyes turned sharp and focused as she watched them enter. She counted at least thirty men all dressed in black.

While their faces were covered, she noticed all of them had a symbol tattooed on their hand. It was clear from the way they carried the weapons on their hands and the formation they were getting in that they meant business.
