George was tied to a chair with a body full of wounds, dry blood clearly visible on his face all the way to the neck littering his collar.
It seems like the angel of bad luck is following him. Chaerin manages to escape Lady Castle, causing Ethan's anger to explode.
Somehow Chaerin was able to get a gun and shoot his men who were on guard. Chaerin did not run away alone, there were previously some people who had come to Lady Castle as guests, but in the end they instead made a fuss and helped Chaerin to escape.
George must willingly accept Ethan's anger, allowing his body to become a punching bag for his master who mercilessly beats him to the point that two of his teeth are broken.
Before reporting to Ethan, George had already deployed all his men to search for Chaerin and the people who helped him to escape, but Chaerin was unfortunately lost in the swallow of the earth. The figure of him was not even caught by the cctv camera around Lady Castle, whereas George was sure the woman could not have run far.
Sean grinned, at the sight of George who was already helpless, even the man before him could not lift his head slightly just to see his arrival. Only a small ringing coming out of his mouth still felt rancid with blood.
For a whole month, he was tied up in a chair, fed and drank only potluck. And every day Ethan would have taken the time to come just to land a single blow on his face, at least.
"Master Ethan's mood is bad, and you're making it worse, you should take care of that woman" Sean played with the knife in his hand, in turn and in throw into the air and then caught back as if it was just a small wooden branch that is not dangerous.
George smiled bitterly "i'm just being unlucky, I haven't seen her that angry for a long time, that woman is more precious than I thought" her soft voice barely sounded, but Sean has pretty sharp hearing.
Sean stopped his knife play and shook his head slowly.
"Actually you're very lucky"
Sean cuts the rope that ties George. Sean simply shrugged his shoulders as George looked at him questioningly.
"He just let me go?" George tried to speak normally while enduring the pain in his jaw that may have now shifted.
"Chaerin's been found, and you've got a new assignment"
"Tell Mr. Ethan I'll do it, give me one last chance, and I won't let him down again" George looked up, his eyes sparkling, showing his sincerity.

Mona sticks out her hand, but Ethan ignores her, still leaning on her big chair while pressing on her temple.
Just this time, he felt that the sky was about to collapse and slowly fell on him. Unresolved one problem and suddenly another problem appeared, making his mind split in various directions.
"I've spoken to my father, and he's agreed to help you, so don't worry, Gold Medical will be fine"
Mona stroked the back of Ethan's hand hoping that the man in the black suit before her became calmer.
But one thing Mona doesn't know.
Ethan puts the company's problems and everything else in 100th place, whereas rank 1 to 99 belongs to Chaerin who's been on the run for more than a month, with no word of his whereabouts.
He is afraid that if he can't meet the woman again, he is afraid that if Chaerin finds out that he is actually GD and hates her, he is afraid that Chaerin will be in danger, he was afraid of a thousand possibilities out there that set him apart from Chaerin. It may seem excessive but Chaerin became the reason to start liking this world.
Ethan pulls his hand as slowly as possible and looks at Mona with a serious face, he does not want to be disturbed by anyone, but Mona instead comes and makes him more depressed. Mona promises to help her company on the condition that Ethan should marry her.
Ethan is not out of thought with the woman, they only met once and suddenly asked to be married on corporate grounds.
If Mona asked her to marry him two months ago before she met Chaerin, Ethan would probably say yes, because Mona has what Ethan wants. But now, even a pile of gold gems would not be able to get him to marry that woman, because his feelings for Chaerin were more precious than all that.
"You're so beautiful, you can meet other men who love you, not me" Ethan tried to speak as calmly as possible, covering up his fear of Chaerin, He is still trying to keep his image as a kind, friendly man in front of Mona.
"It doesn't matter if you don't love me, you just have to pretend" Mona hugs Ethan from behind putting her chin on Ethan's shoulder.
Mona's speech makes Ethan agape, Mona's first impression as a rich and honorable woman disappeared instantly, replaced by a stupid cheap woman who only relied on her feelings for everything.
"Master, sorry to bother you but.." a woman in a neat office suit barged into Ethan's room without knocking first. His face looked frightened, the woman wringing her hands trying to calm herself down.
Sean who was also in the room immediately prepared to yell at the woman but was preceded by Ethan.
"Where is your manners!" Ethan snapped at his secretary, giving her an angry look that made the woman bow.
"But sir, downstairs.........!"
"What! Hold 'em! You are useless!"
The woman's speech was held back by the screams of Sean speaking through a bluetooth headset attached to his ear.
Ethan looks at Sean, trying to capture what exactly makes Sean's face instantly tense.
"There are people who force their way in, they carry firearms and attack the security guards, I'll go down and check on them" Sean ducked and ran out of his master's room.
"Evacate this building, evacuate everyone to get out!" Sean pushed Ethan's secretary who was standing right in front of the door and blocked the road until he fell. Sean did not care at all about it even an apology did not come out of his mouth, Sean did not have time to be meek.
"You should also go Miss Shine!" Sean spoke in passing, but Mona was able to catch the glint of Sean's eyes that looked terrible.
"Wow hey Sean long time no see, you look more pale, do you drink too much milk? Ah looks like you're in a hurry, did something happen?"
Chaerin waved his hand at the doorway in the follow 3 people behind him. One of them had his hands tied with a rope to the back and his face covered with a black cloth like a death row inmate, while the other two held a long gun tied to the shoulder. Chaerin himself carries a yellowish classic revolver.
Sean could not help his surprise due to Chaerin's sudden presence. He even pecked at the door for a few seconds before finally pulling the gun out of the back of his suit, point the muzzle of the gun down and pull the slide so that the bullet is pushed into the bullet chamber and ready for firing.
Sean pointed the gun's mouth right at Chaerin's head, but the woman was not frightened in the slightest, although she knew, her head might be hollow.
Chaerin raised his hand into the air as if he was giving up without releasing the revolver from his hand.
The person who followed Chaerin behind seemed to not care about Sean and just stood still with a relaxed face while behind them the security officers arrived and also brandished weapons.
Chaerin's men instead of being unaware of the situation, they could have died from coming to wreak havoc in the big company, fighting dozens of armed men while they were only three, they could have died from coming to wreak havoc in the big company, against dozens of armed men while they were only three, their arrival was tantamount to suicide. But they believed strongly in their leader, Chaerin could not possibly put them in danger.
"Honey" Chaerin waved spoiledly at Ethan.
Ethan replies to Chaerin's waving, still distrusting, that the woman before him is Chaerin, the woman who fills his head and leaves no gap for anything else to think about.
"Mr Ethan!"
Sean's screams make Ethan realize that he shouldn't look like a stupid and disrespectful man in front of people just because of a woman. Ethan straightened his body, tidied up his suit and put on a serious face.
His love for Chaerin did indeed make him weak, but he still had to maintain his pride, let alone in the presence of his subordinates.
"You can go" Ethan pointed to his secretary who was crouched beside the sofa in fear. Hearing Ethan's orders, the woman immediately got up and ran out of the room, breaking into the security guard who brandished the weapon.
"You too" now Ethan's index finger turns on Mona who is still standing behind her chair.
Mona trembled in fear, it was only natural that the weak woman seemed to be scared when she saw the people carrying weapons and making a fuss.
"Miss Shine's antagonist"
The security guard Ethan looked at immediately responded, at Mona's pull to be taken out.
"He's not gonna hurt me, get out" Ethan brushes Mona's hand off and the security guards take her out immediately.
Ethan walked up to Chaerin, in the face of the woman at close range.
"She still looks so pretty" Ethan involuntarily smiled.
"I could've shot you guys, and told the police I was just defending myself" Sean said, clutching his grip on the gun.
Ethan holds Sean's hand, takes the gun from his assistant's hand and releases the magazine from the gun and throws it in the opposite direction.
Sean is not out of thought with what Ethan is doing, it is very clear Chaerin is a threat but Ethan instead protects him.
"I heard you ran away from Lady Castle, you were great!" Ethan clapped his hands softly and Chaerin smiled proudly.
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Ethan" Chaerin lowered his hand and gave the revolver he held to one of his men in the back.
"Why are you here? Don't tell me you came because I expressed my love for you the last time we met" Ethan said.
"Oh come on, you think I'm a stupid woman who's going to believe in your rotten mouth, I don't expect much from a rich man, so don't be too happy just because I call you dear" Chaerin chuckled, while sweeping his nose with his index finger, the cold weather made his nose water.
"So what do you want from this rich man, until you bother to come here, I could just tell George and you might go back to Lady Castle" Ethan raised next to his eyebrows trying to intimidate Chaerin.
"You know I'm not afraid of George"
"And also with me"
"I'm not afraid of you either"
"Then"
"I came to give you a gift, so have your men lower their weapons and go"
Ethan was silent for a moment to think, what gift Chaerin meant, what gift Chaerin could give him who already had everything.
"You hear? Go!" Ethan finally issues an order, greeted by Sean.
The security guards immediately lowered their weapons and one by one left the room. In an instant, Ethan's boisterous room calmed down. The security guards have disbanded completely.
"Bear, give it to him" felt the situation was quite conducive Chaerin finally voiced out.
A large man with thick muscles enveloped his body, dragging the tied man next to him and encouraging him to approach Ethan.
The thick-bodied man fell right in front of Ethan. Ethan looks at Chaerin questioningly and Chaerin moves his hand a sign that he invites Ethan to open a gift from him.
Slowly Ethan poked his hand out to reach the cloth that covered the man's face, Ethan wondered who the face behind the black cloth was, he had thought that it was George because Chaerin hated it so much, but he remembers that he kept George in the basement, there was no way George could be with Chaerin.
Sean who was impatient immediately took over, in the pull of the cover cloth and the person behind it made Sean surprised, as well as Ethan.
Ethan glares at Sean, feeling unappreciated because Sean interrupted him.
"Sorry sir, I'm afraid you're hurt" Sean lowered his head and retreated how many steps, letting Ethan see the man closer.
"Amazing gift" Ethan grinned. The pull of the man's hair made him look up until Ethan could see his face clearly.
"You**** are stealing from me"
Ethan swung his hand into the air and landed a punch on the face of the stocky man with all his might until the man bounced to the side.
Sean scratches his forehead, he did not expect today there will be a lot of surprises, ranging from the invitation to marry from Mona, the emergence of Chaerin, and now the corrupt contractor who cheated Ethan is here, Ethan is here, and the one who brought him was Chaerin.
The stocky man was still beaten by Ethan without being able to fight because of his tied hands, he could not even scream because his mouth was on a chopstick. Chaerin even closed his eyes as Ethan began to rampage, never before had he thought that Ethan could be that terrible.
"Your hand is wounded master" Sean catches Ethan's hand to stop his madness. If the man continues, he may die and there will be major problems if that happens.
Sean gives Ethan his handkerchief to clean his blood-soiled hands. Ethan greeted her and immediately swept the bloodstains on her hands quickly and threw the dirty handkerchief onto the floor.
"You're afraid of me?" Ethan approached Chaerin and stood right in front of him.
Chaerin slowly opened his eyes and Ethan's handsome face was the first thing he saw.
"No, I just didn't expect, I thought you were the guy who.." couldn't be denied Chaerin was a little afraid of Ethan's unpredictable rude attitude.
"I'm sorry if I scare you, I can be so temperamental when I'm angry, thanks for the reward"
Ethan grabs Chaerin's messy hair, on his comb using his fingers and slips it behind the woman's ears, until Chaerin's pretty face is clearly visible. Chaerin raised his face and aligned his eyes with Ethan.
"You lunatics! We're not in a bloody romance drama, so stop your silly acting!"
Inguk, the tall man who came with Chaerin suddenly made a sound, he was irritated by Ethan's teasing behavior Chaerin while Chaerin also almost fell in his temptation. The naive woman.
"Let's go, we don't have any more business here"
The squinty man with the big eye bags turned around, followed by Bear who was ready to leave first.
"Chae let's go" the bear turned and held Chaerin's hand to take her away.
Chaerin already wants to follow Bear and snot but Ethan holds him back. Bear is forced to let Chaerin go and follow Chaerin. The man understands that Chaerin may have something to talk to Ethan about personally.
Ethan took off his coat and put it on a chaerin. It was only a few minutes ago that Chaerin saw Ethan who was very rude, and now Ethan is being very gentle with him like before.
"It's cold outside and you're just wearing thin clothes, I told you before, take good care of yourself" Ethan tidied the suit in his clothes on the chaerin to make sure everything was fastened so that the cold weather could not hurt the woman.
"Don't be too nice to me, maybe I'll misunderstand"
"It would be better if you misunderstood" Ethan chuckled.
Chaerin looked at Ethan seriously, he dared himself to get closer to Ethan, closer until he could smell the man's breath. Chaerin kisses Ethan briefly for no more than a second but the moment succeeds in making his second heart feel almost exploded.
"The last time we met, you stole a kiss from me, I came to take it back'"
Chaerin turned around and walked steadily to leave Ethan's room.
"Chaerin!"
Ethan's voice calling out to him made Chaerin stop his steps and half turn around.
"You sure you don't want to take interest and taxes?" Ethan touches his right cheek with his index finger and Chaerin immediately understands the man's intentions.
Chaerin smiled amusedly, at a time like this Ethan could still make him laugh.
