Resignation To Fate

In the Tyrell mansion Chris was anxious while his injured brother looked calm and confident as ever as he rested in his bed while checking the file of the company. He was pacing around the room until he finally got tiered and sat down in the chair beside the bed. He stared at the man in front him. "Aren't you at least a little bit nervous?"

"No"

A simple calm no. That's all he got after asking the question in all seriousness. A few veins bulged in his forehead as he felt his anger rise beyond controllable.

"You….You just inherited the group and you are the target of all those savages. Instead of making alliance you actually sent him that parcel." Chris rubbed his temple. He rarely used informal language with him unless he was really pissed off.

The man finally put down his file and looked at his brother who looked like an angry hamster with steam coming out of his temple. He smiled a little which was quickly replaced by the nonchalant face but Chris noticed it. He was dying of nervousness while his brother was not only not nervous but the stone faced devil even smiled.

" Did you found out what I asked about?" Chris finally stopped his scolding when he was asked a question.

"Oh about that. Kim was the one who brought you out of the house. He said all he saw when he was searching for you was a tall hooded figure who carried him inside the house and as soon as he left he took you and returned."

Chris continued, "Since that person could carry you and tall I believe it was a boy."

Hearing all these uncertainty he questioned if they checked the area or not.  Chris was a little unhappy when his brother was inquiring about someone else as if they were an important person. "We could check but considering the situation inside the group and the feud with SER group many other clans are trying to form an alliance to take either of us down we don't have any manpower to waste."

"Plus that area belongs to the government. If we deploy our men without any important work or permission we will just be in their blacklist."

Whatever Chris said was correct but still he had to know his savior especially he felt familiar with the fragrance. But like Chris said he could have been mistaken and it was really a boy. The fact that they would no longer associate with each other was the greatest thanks he could show. If the SER group knew he was saved by that boy he could only imagine what that bastard will do. He decided to forget about that person. He had other pressing matters to take care of at that moment.

Chris was about to add something the door to the room opened and Kim walked in. "Mission complete boss" Kim announced as he stood beside the bed opposite to Chris. Remembering what these two did Chris again felt angry. "So what happened?" Chris anxiously asked.

"I'm sure you will be getting a call anytime soon." Kim gave out a hearty laugh. He sat on the bed and said, "You should have seen the frightened receptionist and secretary when I mentioned Tyrell group." Although Kim was a bodyguard he was almost the same age as the two of them only older by 1 year. In private they normally acted like peers.

"Ringggg…ringggg…."

"Speak of the devil." Kim said as he looked at the phone number and  gave the phone to the man after confirming it was indeed a call from the SER group. As soon as he placed the phone near his ear a loud swearing entered his ear.

"Fu** you, you fu***ng Tyrell."

"That's not the way to thank someone who just gifted you such a precious thing." A murderous smile could be seen as he spoke slowly word by word.

"Just you wait you twerp. I will make you regret this. You understand me you son of a bitch."

Inside the CEO's room in the SER office the man looked red and black with anger as he shouted into the phone at the top of his lungs. His secretary outside was already trembling in fear he might punish them to vent his anger.

"Since it seems like you have no better thing to say and we are busy people unlike you so I will take leave first." He added, "Enjoy your gift. If you want you can even keep it as decoration."

He directly cut off the call without letting the man speak anything. The already puffed up face of the man looked even more terrifying that the secretary who went in to serve a glass of water almost dropped the glass if she wasn't careful. Although she was a little bit scared she was still curious about the gift sent by the young master of Tyrell group which made her boss look what he looked at the moment but since life came before curiosity she ran out of room after serving the water.

In the Tyrell mansion.

The three men after finishing the call walked out of the door. They were silent as they were walking towards the basement. "You did what I asked of you?"

"Yes, it's done boss." Kim replied swiftly.

"Good."

As they reached the basement they stood in front of a torture chamber where a haggard man was slumped. He looked older than he was with his hair already whitening. Calling the two men who stood guard at the entrance Chris ordered them to take the man to apply some basic treatment and give some clean clothes to wear.

Looking at the men in front of him he hysterically laughed, "Looks like it's time already." From the night he was trapped here he lost the count of time and he didn't even know how much time had passed since then.

"You even want to dress me properly in case I might not look a nice gift." Ha ha ha ha.....his laugh echoed throughout the silent basement.

"Take him"

The two men dragged him away and he even stopped struggling. All he wanted was his boss to see his loyalty and provide security and shelter to his family in his absence. That was all he wished for before his death. He obediently put on the white shirt and a trouser given to him. They were new and made out of comfortable materials. "Heh" he thought as he was wearing them. The dress which was gonna be his shroud was the first clothes given to him by someone. He didn't even know to feel sad or happy. Fate was ironic.

"Let's go." A bulky man shoved the man forward towards a big door. He walked without any resistance. He had accepted his fate but he wanted to beg for his family one last time.

As he opened the door, he was brought to a grand living room and in the main seat sat the devil with his brother and the person named Kim. But what attracted his attention was two other people who were present in the room. They looked familiar.

"Rena! Ruby!..." the man stared in disbelief with complicated emotion as he looked at the woman and girl sitting there. What were they doing here??
