Dan Woo first visited the Hae Song household on his birthday, just before entering elementary school.
The new clothes his mother had dressed him in were uncomfortable, but he was distracted by the robot toy his father had given him as a gift.
However, the first time he met Jung Hyun at the Hae Song household, Jung Hyun, who was the same age as him, brutally beat him in the basement because he was displeased that Dan Woo also shared the same birthday as him.
He stepped on the last stepping stone in the yard, recalling the memories from a long time ago.
A man with neatly combed white hair bowed to Dan Woo.
“Welcome, young master. You may call me Butler Jang.”
“I’m Woo Dan Woo. Lead the way.”
As Dan Woo stepped into the dining room, he saw people sitting on both sides of the marble dining table.
He recalled the report handed over by Tae Yoon and took in each person.
Sun Ho Woo, the representative, and his wife, Choi Su Ah, were sitting side by side, followed by their daughter and soninlaw. Lastly, he saw Jung Hyun, known as the headache of the Hae Song household.
Sun Ho Woo pointed to the spot where the tableware was laid out. It was a place to sit next to Jung Hyun.
“Sit there.”
Dan Woo momentarily doubted if he was invited here just to have a meal.
But could that be?
The only person he remembered from this place was Sun Ho Woo. All he knew about his wife and children was what he learned from the report.
Only one thing was certain.
To those who were looking at him with piercing eyes, Woo Dan Woo was nothing more than Chairman Woo Soo Ho’s illegitimate son, not a family member.
Dan Woo bowed lightly, hiding his emotions in his dark eyes, and sat in the place Sun Ho Woo pointed to at a leisurely pace.
As soon as Dan Woo sat down, Choi Su Ah spoke to Butler Jang.
“Serve the meal.”
Dan Woo calmly sat and looked at Sun Ho Woo. His eyes were softly curved, yet they had an untouchable creepiness.
Everyone seated at the table was looking at Dan Woo, but he didn’t meet anyone’s eyes, watching the dishes being set one by one.
Dan Woo spoke before the meal began.
“I would like to see my father.”
Dan Woo wanted to formally see his father, who was laid out in a formal state.
Even though no one here acknowledged it, he was unequivocally Chairman Woo Soo Ho’s son.
Dan Woo wanted to make Sun Ho Woo aware that he was his son, the same Sun Ho Woo who had refused even the visit of Michael, who claimed to be a friend of his father.
“That’s something to think about after the story has come to a satisfactory end. …… You should have come and said hello first if you came to Korea.”
What was this nonsense about?
Dan Woo raised his lips in a derisive smile.
He didn’t expect to become a family member now, and he thought he understood the meaning of what Sun Ho Woo’s secretary had told him.
The reason why Sun Ho Woo called me was probably because of his interest in his businesses.
Without revealing his emotions, Dan Woo asked about Chairman Woo Soo Ho.
He was neither a father whom I could see every day like everyone else nor a father who had done his best for me, but every time I went home, he always told me the same thing.
‘You can be anything and do anything. Do not be afraid and face the world boldly.’
It was the word that protected me to be able to become a game developer in America without being frustrated.
“Is father doing well?”
“Father likes you.”
A scornful smile broke from Jung Hyun’s lips. However, he shut his mouth at Sun Ho Woo’s displeased gaze.
That was only for a moment. As Dan Woo consistently ignored him, Jung Hyun curled his lips disdainfully and brought up J.
“I met some guy in America, and that stupid bastard insisted he was Woo Dan Woo, really, it was unbelievable. I have good intuition.”
“…….”
Dan Woo’s back of the hand twitched.
He never imagined that he would bring up J with that mouth.
It meant that he had no guilt about J’s death to the point where he could blabber about it confidently.
‘Why do other people seem so trivial to you?’
Dan Woo’s heart turned cold, and veins bulged in his clenched fist.
Jung Hyun did not miss the moment when Dan Woo flinched and continued to provoke him by talking about J.
“He stripped and his stomach was smooth. Nothing at all. Then he’s not Woo Dan Woo.”
It was a comment aimed at the surgical scar on Dan Woo’s abdomen, a sign of the liver he had donated to me.
Jung Hyun, brandishing a knife and smirking, finally spat out the remaining words.
“So you ended up slashing his belly to make him Woo Dan Woo.”
Sun Ho Woo reprimanded Jung Hyun in a stern voice.
“Can’t you sit down? Are you finally revealing that matter with your mouth?”
“So what? The bastard who died because of me should know how he died.”
“Go back to your room now. Or shut your mouth.”
Jung Hyun, sitting in his chair, finally let out another word.
“You killed him.”
Dan Woo couldn’t stand it any longer and spat out a curse in a chilling voice.
“XX bastard.”
“What? This ragamuffin.”
Jung Hyun, who had sprung up from his seat, raised his hand holding the steak knife and pressed down on Dan Woo’s wrist.
“This bastard. Crawling in here without even knowing where he’s supposed to die.”
Just as the knife was about to plunge into the back of Dan Woo’s hand, he swiftly twisted Jung Hyun’s wrist, pressed it on the dining table, and curled his lips.
He looked at Jung Hyun with frosty eyes.
Unable to move due to Dan Woo’s strength, Jung Hyun spewed out curses.
The people in the dining room looked at Dan Woo with disbelief. However, there was no hesitation in Dan Woo at this moment.
He plunged the knife down in an instant.
“Argh.”
Clang.
The knife pierced through the middle of the plate that had been beside Jung Hyun’s hand.
The dining room was filled with Jung Hyun’s curses, Sun Ho Woo’s shouting, and gasps of shock from the nerveracking moment.
In the midst of it all, Dan Woo’s voice landed accurately on Jung Hyun.
“You have to pay for your sins. Look forward to what I’m going to do.”
Dan Woo stepped back with a cold smile.
The gaze of Sun Ho Woo, who had been hiding his emotions, burned with anger. He chastised Dan Woo in a calm voice.
“Isn’t that too much for venting?”
“This? That can’t be… If my business here is done, I’ll take my leave. I’ll visit father next time.”
Sun Ho Woo called out to Butler Jang in a stern voice.
“Butler Jang. Jung Hyun seems to be shocked, take him to my room. Make sure no word of what was heard today leaks out.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Why don’t we go to the study together? We still have things to talk about.”
Thanks to the silent movements of the servants, the dining room was left spotless.
Dan Woo entered Sun Ho Woo’s study, guided by a servant.
Sun Ho Woo tried to suppress the human spirit with an unreadable smile, but Dan Woo was not afraid.
He waited for his words without any emotional disturbance.
“Read this.”
[Merger Proposal: The Eagles & Sea Pine Group]
As Dan Woo read the proposal, he felt the saying that human greed knows no bounds was truly real.
How could one propose to surrender everything they’ve achieved?
He pushed the proposal forward and spoke to Sun Ho Woo.
“Wake up from your dream.”
“You should take your mother with you.”
“There’s a mistake in your sentence. It should be ‘take her with you without disgrace.'”
Sun Ho Woo was irritated by Dan Woo’s gaze that seemed to see right through him and the tone of his words that rejected the proposal outright.
Moreover, the phrase ‘without disgrace’ sounded as if he knew all about the wrongs he had committed against his mother.
Dan Woo’s situation had changed compared to 10 years ago, but the fact that he had come this far meant his mother’s safety was important to him.
Sun Ho Woo used this as an excuse to reveal his intentions without leaving any room for doubt.
“There should be no more harm to mother. The reason for sparing her has been sufficient until now.”
