Gwen had blossomed into a striking beauty, and whispers of her allure had spread far and wide. Her character, however, did not quite match her looks; her brother's less desirable habits had clearly rubbed off on her.

The one always at the receiving end of her antics was Marsha Pasatit, the young lady of one of the five main families of Bronze Orchid and also Kamman's fiancée.

Kamman didn't tell anyone when he would be back in Thailand, but he had left room for assumptions. Marsha, knowing him as she did, didn't dismiss the possibility of him arriving unannounced, so she was constantly at the Chen manor, checking and prying.

Gwen, for her part, was excited every time Marsha came, because then she would have someone to frustrate.

It was around eight the next morning. Manu walked through the wide corridors of the mansion, humming his usual song. He was clearly in a good mood. Earlier, he had been on the phone with Rei, who had briefly explained the turmoil they were going through in So

    "Uncle, are you going somewhere?" Gwen feigned oblivion, an innocent smile plastered on her face, even when everyone knew better.Chen Qishan had been informed of Gwen's arrival and rushed to get her off his back first. Gwen was not easily deterred. Tonight, she even came prepared. Manu's arms were laden with several dishes of delicacies from her nanny."Let's eat first. Aunty Long prepared these. You used to love them!" She squealed happily. Chen Qishan fought with all his might not to roll his eyes. His niece was something else."Well, my dear Gwen, you came at a bad time; I was just leaving.""To meet with the Pasatit? But didn't Kammy ban such private meetings?" She asked, already handing his uncle's servants the dishes.Chen Qishan rushed to refute the treasonous claim. "No, no. I was going for a drive," he blurted out. However, each person's intention was visible for all to see. It was not an accusation but a fact, and Gwen was not there to have a meal with her favorite uncle b

    The location was China. Several cars waited at a cross-section of an abandoned road, hidden from view by the heavy plantation on either side. Darkness had already set in, and it was time for the evils to rise. Their front lights were all open, illuminating the distance. A voice came through an intercom."The cargo is approaching. Twenty-six meters away."An older man, with a raspy voice, ordered, "Turn off the lights. Move into position!"The men around rushed to obey. Almost immediately, the surrounding area went very dark and quiet, apart from the croaking and chirping of various animals.Two huge trailers drove menacingly, approaching from a distance. The driver at the front was listening to soft music, his guard down. Looking ahead, the road was clear, so he pushed on.Suddenly, a car appeared in front of him. Truck drivers of the Bronze Orchid were trained for years before they were allowed on the road in the organization's name. One of the trainings entailed running over any pot

  • Ashes and Obsidian Feathers   19. A Grip On Him.

    Park Jangseok had already endured the humiliation of being held hostage in his own house and didn't think it could get worse. He was wrong because they even abducted his top player right in front of his eyes.He couldn't fight them, as almost all his men were currently unresponsive, so he resorted to whining like a child. "Mr Chen! How dare you?! If the rest of the underworld hears about this, how will they think of you?!" He cried out after Kamman and his men emerged, an unconscious Asia dangling from Rei's shoulder."Mr Park, don't get so worked up. I might give him back," Kamman said, smiling so softly as if he weren't in the middle of abducting someone."You might?!" Mr Park almost had a stroke. He clutched his chest and stumbled back as his few functioning men rushed to steady him.Kamman was done with the conversation. Jangseok had no bargaining chip, which was the norm. No bargaining chip, no right to speak. He solemnly watched as they carried a man he had spent fortunes to a

  • Ashes and Obsidian Feathers   18. Phoenix Fire.

    Kamman had anticipated a bloodbath from his decision to go after Cheongyeon, but the next day was quiet, and the gangs of the South Korean underworld still co-existed 'peacefully'. Chaos had not arrived. Yet.In the middle of this peace was a buzz about a certain union between Geumgang and the Bronze Orchid. This move would drastically solidify Geumgang's standing among the gang Kings of the underworld, and by the rumors flying everywhere, it had already begun. Other gangs sent their delegates to Geumgang's zone, wanting to be on the right side of history once it was made.Former rivals began to lose their composure, fearing for their livelihoods.The leader of Corpse Tribe, another minor gang, was the seventh person they were sending away that day, and others were still coming, all with alluring offers. The proudest man in the world must have been Park Jangseok. He lifted his shoulders so high they almost grazed the sky.Kamman's fleet was more luxurious than that of a royal or even

    Sir, everyone is dead."Every group came back reporting the same thing. They really had wiped out the entire building."Fine, let's go back," Kamman said, turning to leave. Before they exited the building, he turned and added, "Get the cleaning team; erase the crime scene.""What?" The man beside him asked, not sure he'd heard the order correctly.All these had nothing to do with Kamman, and the events wouldn't affect him in any way. He was known for minding his own business, so his decision to get involved was a bit confusing to his men.Rei, however, understood his motive almost immediately. Even if Kamman was hiding it, his mind had already connected this case to Dian, especially after their initial conversation.His instincts when it came to that name were always to protect, so naturally, he moved to clean up his assumed crime, then ask questions later.Rei turned to the man and confirmed,"Call the cleaning team. Get rid of all the bodies. Tell them not to leave a single trace be
