Both Alden and Eun Woo stared at each other. Alden pursed his lips and looked up at Eun Woo who was also blank like him.

"What was this... just now?" , They spoke in a confusing tone at the same time.

Alden stared as his heart was still beating fastly because of the sound just now, "It seems ... Like someone ... The door was violently kicked"

Eun Woo was a little uncertain as he spoke, "The kicking sound ... Seems like someone kicked the main door of your house"

Alden shook his head as his voice trembled, "I don't know, but it feels very Like."

At this time, Alden couldn't even eat the delicious dumplings.

"Did Luca come and kick the door of his house?", Alden said because At this time, he was also a little nervous.

If it were before, of course he would not be afraid of Sara, Luca and their gang at all. But now and then, he no longer had the confidence not to be afraid of them.

Luca could really do this kind of thing. He came faster than Alden thought.

Peach stood up, as if he also felt his daddy's restless mood and started barking wildly.

Alden put his index finger on his mouth and hussed, "Be quiet. Don't shout now"

As expected, Peach stopped barking.

Both Alden and Eun Woo listened carefully for a while. And after the huge noise downstairs, it seemed that there was no other special sound coming from downstairs.

Alden pursed his lips as he was a little uncertain, and couldn't help but glanced at the door.

A minute later, the kicking sound stopped but they were still scared because their house did not have the security at all.

Eun Woo took a deep breath and said to him, "Alden, Wait here. Let me check now exactly what's going there".

Eun Woo held his breath as he sticks his head out of the door and looked downstairs. His ears twitched as he tried to listen carefully.

After a while he came back and shook his head towards Alden as he said, "It seems like there is no one at your floor."

Alden exhaled and walked to the door as he also looked down at his floor but Eun Woo hurriedly grabbed his arms and stopped him from looking down, "What are you doing?"

At this time, Alden was not nervous anymore. He said calmly to Eun Woo, "I am going downstairs"

Eun Woo said worriedly, "Don't go, What if they are still there?"

Alden shook his head as he said, "I don't know who was downstairs but i need to take a look. If Luca and his gangs were really there and were looking for me. Then i can't hide forever. I have to face them and resolve this matter sooner or later"

Eun Woo was silent for two seconds, and then said forcefully, "Okay, I will accompany you. We will go together"

Hearing Eun Woo's words, Peach barked as well. Eun Woo was ready to call the police but Alden told him to check the downstairs first as the two men and a dog opened the door and walked downstairs.

They took soft steps and did not make noise as they felt that it was such a difficult time for them.

Alden tightened his hold on Peach as he thought that No matter what, he could not hide forever.

Both Alden and Eun Woo carefully looked down at the corner of the corridor. When they saw that Alden's house door was still intact and there was no one in front of the main door, both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Alden, Someone was there and kicked the door violently. I am sure of this", Eun Woo said worriedly and Alden nodded his head because they were not wrong. They heard the noise correctly.

"I know this. I am sure too. Look at the strings of footprints on the floor and at the door", Alden said and Eun Woo also looked at the footprints

"These footprints were not there when i came to pick Peach around 11 , when we were waiting for you", Eun Woo said and Alden nodded his head.

Alden also did not find these footprints when he came and went upstairs.

Alden opened the door of his house and they entered into the house and locked the door.

Alden said seriously to Eun Woo who was sitting beside him, "Somebody must have come here"

Eun Woo said in an anxious tone, "What do you do then? Let's stay in my house"

Alden smiled softly as he heard Eun Woo's words.

But before he could say something to Eun Woo, his eyes landed on a paper lying on the ground.

"What's this?", Alden said as he hurriedly went there and took the paper lying under the security door.

Alden opened the paper and few words were written on it, "YOU ARE DEAD"

Alden's eyes turned cold as he understood that Luca, Sara and others were here and their intentions were immediately apparent.

Tonight was just a warning from them. They would come again and today's purpose was just to make him afraid, and to show him their power and position. They wanted him to completely surrender before them.

"This Luca is really insane", Eun Woo said and Alden again glanced at the door.

Peach barked twice as if he was agreeing with Eun Woo.

"Let's go back. Stay at my house", Eun Woo said and Alden did not decline the offer Because of the violent kick at the door just now, Alden didn't dare to stay in his house anymore but if he would stay with Eun Woo then he would be scared to pull him into this mess.

"Don't think too much", Eun Woo said to him.

Alden hesitated for a long time, and at last he finally said, "It's two o'clock in the night. And now morning is about to happen"

Eun Woo laughed and said, "Okay, as you wish"

No matter what, he wouldn't let Eun Woo be burdened by her. Eun Woo Understood him as he did not forced him. Eun Woo always respected his decisions.

Wishing good night, Eun Woo returned to his house and Alden locked his door properly and then laid down on the bed.

Peach also hide himself in his doghouse and quickly fell asleep that if nothing happened half an hour ago.

Alden shook his head negatively while looking at Peach.

Alden thought about calling the police, but the problem was that even though Luca was now giving out ruthless words, he had not done anything to him. So even if he called the police, it was useless.

He sighed weakly as his head thumped fearfully.

Time passed by every minute.

Soon, it was six o'clock in the morning but it was still dark outside.

The entire night, Alden did not dare to close his eyes as he was thinking about countermeasures. His heart could not help but speed up slightly. If anyone said that he was not afraid, then it must be wrong.

His palms were covered with dense sweat. He was scared and whenever he got scared, his mind directly drifted to him.

Him - Kang DENNIS.

At this moment, Alden could not even help thinking - 'Should he lower his head first and go to Dennis for help?'

If it were him now, his business would definitely be nothing to Dennis. Alden shook his head as his heart was pounding fearfully inside his chest. He held his mobile phone tightly. He still had Dennis's phone number.

Alden shook his head negatively again and while he was fidgeting, He closed his red puffy eyes for a minute as he tried to control his Wavering Emotions and fearful heart. He did not even know when he fell asleep but he woken up by the noices of Peach's continuous barking.

Peach wagged his tail and licked Alden's face in pampering manner and asked for his breakfast.

Alden laughed softly as he rubbed his eyes. His eyes were Burning. His body was sore and head was aching too.

He knew that he caught a cold now.

Alden watched the time and found that it was 7 in the morning. He quickly freshened up and made breakfast and patted Peach. He walked out of the house to go to his job.

Alden took the subway and at this moment, he felt the vibration of his phone. He took out the phone from his jacket and checked it. There were a few His phone messages notifications popped back to back on the phone screen.

Alden read the messages and his mind went blank for a whole minute.
