NOVEL NEXT Chapter 66: Mysterious Letter
.......................
Inside a huge mansion on the balcony there was a man sitting on a chair, he was holding a glass of wine in his hand. The man was slowly sipping on the wine, the man was not enjoying the peaceful environment on the contrary, he had worries written all over his face. When the clouds that covered the moon moved the moonlight fell on the balcony lighting up the face of the man, the man was none other than Yi Man-Young.
Yi Man-Young was sipping on the wine that was given to him as a gift from his old friend. While drinking he was still worried, and he was thinking of the problem.
'Who were those people why did they want to hurt us? If Moon Jung was not there today, we might have lost our lives. Where is Kang-Ho is he safe? I hope he is if not I will kill who ever was responsible for this.' Thought Man-Young, you could see the anger all over his face. With the anger on his face, his face looked somehow scary. He quickly retracted his expression to that of a worried person. There was no one who witnessed the sudden change in his expression.
Yi Ha-Neul and Yi Hwa-Young were sleeping on the bed inside the room, it seemed that today's event startled both the mother and daughter pair. Little princess had her arms tightly wrapped around her mother not wanting to let go, and her face didn't have the peaceful emotion that every child should have while they slept. She was deeply distressed by what has been happening to her family. Just some days ago little princess had to witness the scene of her father's arms being broken by some bad men and now they had to leave their own house. This was a lot to take in for a little girl like her.
Yi Man-Young looked towards his family, then after some time he turned towards the moon, then slowly taking out the envelop that he received from his friend. Man-Young tried to open the envelop but when he tried it seemed like it was glued together. After failing to open the envelop, Man-Young sighed then brought his thumb close to his mouth and bit his own finger.
After cutting his own finger blood started to come out of his finger, he took the thumb and placed the thumb above the envelop and let one drop of blood to fall over the envelop.
After the blood fell over the envelop the envelop suddenly started to glow with a red colour. The glow didn't last for long for just 3-4 seconds and it came back to normal. After that Man-Young once more tried to open the letter, but this time he didn't face any resistance the letter opened and he started to read the content.
'I really didn't want to receive or read this kind of letter. If not for the situation I am in right now I would have never considered opening this.' Thought Man-Young as he was looking over the message that was written on the letter. His face clearly showed the dissatisfaction as he was staring over the letter.
'Hey, you know who it is, there is a very bad news. I hope you are reading the letter alone; I really didn't want to sent you a message, but the situation is dire right now so I had to. Sending message this was is the safest as I don't trust any other means of communication right now. Make sure there is no one beside you then turn the age to other side' this was the message that was written on the first page of the letter. Right after reading this Man-Young expression became grave, his brain was in a turmoil after reading the letter. His hands stopped moving for sometime he was just staring at the message for the time. After a little bit of thinking his hand finally moved and turned to the next page.
'The Capital is in a very big turmoil, 'They' have started to move again this time they have gathered a lot of strength. As the situation stands no place in Korea is safe, not a single one not even the capital. I hope for you to come to the capital, I know that your son has not shown up yet, but I promise that if you come here, I will use all of my power to search for your kid. If you stay in Busan you might lose your entire family not just your son. I know that the Capital isn't safe but Busan isn't either, at least in Seoul I can protect you and your family, friend. I beg of you to come to the capital, please.' That was the end of the letter, after reading the letter man-Young's face didn't show any emotion it was very hard to know what was going on in his brain or what was he thinking. But, one thing was sure that the letter might have been written before Kang-Ho returned as he mentioned in letter that his son was still missing.
After the Man-Young was done reading the letter it started burning on its own, after some time of burning the paper quickly turned into nothing but ashes. The ashes flew out of Man-Young's hand because of the strong breeze.
After reading the letter Man-Young sat back on the chair and started thinking about the stuffs that was written on the letter. Man-Young seemed to be focused on the matter about moving, he was lost in thoughts.
'What if Kang-Ho went to the house? Are those guys still in front of our house? I don't think he would be able to defend himself if he encounters hunters from earlier.' suddenly this thought jolted him awake of his thoughts. Yi Man-Young, stood up as if he had been electrocuted. He slowly opened the window wanting to enter the room. Then he slowly moved towards the little princess and patted her head gently, he didn't want to wake her up.
After being patted by a warm hand the expression on the little princess's face changed to that of peaceful, there was a smile on her face. Man-Young turned around towards the door of the room. Suddenly his hand was grabbed by someone, when he turned around it turned out to be his wife.
"Is he back yet?" asked Yi Ha-Neul, from her expression you could tell she was extremely worried. It seemed she didn't sleep; she was still worrying about Kang-ho's return as well. From her expression you should tell she was in pain, any parents would be in this situation, moreover, Kang-Ho had just returned some days ago after disappearing for 2 years she didn't want to lose him again.
"I will go and call his phone again. Don't worry he would be fine." Said Man-Young trying to console her. Even though he was also worried he tried his hard to console her. After he said few more things, he exited the room.
Man-Young once more tried to call Kang-Ho but still the result was same Kang-Ho didn't pick the phone up. This made him even more worried. After that he went towards the ground floor where Moon Jung was.
