CHAPTER 250: Architect's Demise
This directory didn't hold pictures of bribes. It held pictures of blood.The first image showed a prominent union leader hanging from a rope in his own living room. The police had ruled it a tragic suicide. But the high-resolution photo on the screen zoomed in closely on the victim's neck, clearly showing the deep, defensive scratch marks where the man had tried to pry the rope away. It was a staged execution. Attached to the photo was a digital receipt for thirty million won, routed to a Red Moon gang enforcer.The next photo showed a crumpled car at the bottom of a steep ravine. A reporter who had been investigating Titan Law’s real estate holdings was dead behind the wheel. The attached file contained the dashcam footage of a heavy truck ramming her off the road.It was raw, unfiltered, irrefutable proof of murder.I stared at the screen, the pale blue light reflecting in my dark eyes. The sheer scale of the violence was staggering. Titan Law wasn't just manipulating the justice s
CHAPTER 249: Decrypted Sins
The heavy steel police handcuffs were finally gone, leaving behind a deep, dark purple bruise wrapping entirely around my right wrist.I lay in the dim light of the intensive care unit. Han Do-Woon had stormed back into the room twenty minutes after chasing the fake doctor, furious, soaked in freezing rain, and completely empty-handed. The assassin had slipped into the hospital’s underground laundry levels and vanished into the city. Han hadn't spoken a word. He had simply walked over to the bed, pulled a key from a terrified precinct captain's hand, and unlocked my chains.Now, two of Han’s most loyal, heavily armed detectives stood right outside my door. Through the frosted glass window, I could see their dark silhouettes resting their hands on the grips of their assault rifles.The sterile, sharp scent of bleach and iodine still burned my nose, but the lingering, musky smell of the assassin’s cheap cologne had faded.My heart monitor beeped in a slow, steady rhythm. The blue static
CHAPTER 248: Mocking Greeting
The assassin stood frozen by the bed. The silence in the ICU was deafening, broken only by the slow, steady beep of my heart monitor. I was holding him in place with nothing but words, breaking his resolve piece by piece.But then, the man’s eyes hardened.The fear faded, replaced by a cold, desperate realization. He knew I was right about Cha Seung-Ho. But he also knew what the Red Moon gang did to men who ran away from a job. He was a dead man either way, but running meant a much slower, much worse death at the hands of his own crew."Nice try, lawyer," the assassin growled.He didn't hesitate anymore. He stepped forward, his thumb moving to the top of the plunger. He pressed the sharp steel needle directly into the clear rubber port of the IV line.I couldn't stop him. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the cold rush of the lethal injection to hit my veins.The heavy wooden door of the ICU room suddenly slammed open with a deafening crash."Freeze! Drop it!"The deep, booming roa
CHAPTER 247: Stalling Death
My right wrist strained against the heavy steel police handcuffs. The cold metal bit deeply into my raw skin, the short chain clinking against the thick bed rail. My left hand was weighed down by the IV line taped to the back of my palm. If I tried to jerk my arm away, he would simply grab it. I was pinned to a stiff mattress, my fractured ribs burning with a searing fire every time I took a shallow, panicked breath.I couldn't fight him physically. If I threw a punch, my broken chest would collapse.I forced my eyes away from the syringe. I looked at the ceiling, drawing in a slow, ragged breath through my nose. I held it for two seconds, letting the pain wash over me, and exhaled slowly through my cracked lips.The frantic rhythm of the heart monitor began to slow down. I was forcing my biology to lie.The assassin’s eyes narrowed slightly. He paused, the needle hovering just above the rubber port. A dying man chained to a bed wasn't supposed to calm down. He was supposed to thrash.
CHAPTER 246: Bound And Broken
I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt as if they had been glued shut. A heavy, thick lethargy dragged me down, anchoring my mind in a deep fog. The smell hit me next. It was the sharp, sterile scent of iodine, bleach, and rubbing alcohol, mixed with the faint, chalky undertone of strong intravenous painkillers.I forced my eyes open.The harsh fluorescent light on the ceiling burned my retinas. I winced, turning my head to the side. The simple movement sent a dizzying wave of nausea crashing through my stomach, followed immediately by a bright, searing spike of pain that shot directly through my temples.I let out a dry, ragged gasp. My throat felt like it was coated in coarse sand.As my chest expanded to draw in air, a jagged line of pure fire dragged across my sternum. The fractured ribs had completely snapped during the crash. Every shallow breath felt like broken glass shifting inside my lungs.I lay flat on a stiff hospital mattress. Crisp, white sheets were pulled up to
CHAPTER 245: Concrete Median Impact
More importantly, the portable hard drive sitting in Soo-Yeon’s lap would be destroyed. The water and the pressure would ruin the magnetic disks inside. The blackmail vault would be erased forever, just like CEO Cha Seung-Ho wanted.I could not let them take the drive into the river.I looked at the center of the avenue, right where the road split to funnel traffic onto the bridge.A massive, wedge-shaped concrete median divided the lanes. It was thick, solid, and entirely immovable. A large yellow warning barrel filled with sand sat directly in front of the heavy stone block.It was a dead stop.I looked in the rearview mirror. The two black SUVs were falling back slightly, lining up side-by-side, preparing for the final, synchronized push the moment our tires touched the bridge.I looked over at Soo-Yeon.She was staring straight ahead at the looming bridge, her face pale and terrified. Her knuckles were stark white as she gripped the canvas bag holding the master drive. She had ris
