“What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that you haven’t found out anything about who tried to burn my warehouse?!” Jungkook barked at the petite man standing before him.

The detective shivered, his shirt was already drenched in his own sweat. Fear had overwhelmed him because he knew what Jungkook was capable of doing if he didn’t get what he wanted.

“Mr Jeon, we are trying our best, but we haven’t found anything. But the new security system has been installed and if the perpetrator strikes again, we’ll catch him red-handed” the detective said, as calm as he could.

Jungkook turned to him, flashing a deadly look at the detective, who immediately looked away.

“You better find him, or you’ll pay for his crime” he said.

“Rest assured, we will find whoever it is, sir” the detective answered boldly and Jungkook dismissed him.

He was furious. It’s been days now and the fool who dared to intrude into his warehouse has not been found. He was restless because somebody was planning evil against him, nobody has the guts to do that.

So who could it be?

His warehouse was stocked with many expensive building materials, gemstones and other things that were equally expensive. It was almost half of his fortune and he couldn’t risk it getting burnt to ashes.

Along with the security system, Jungkook placed a lot of guards outside the warehouse to guard it day in and day out. He wasn’t going to take any chances.

* 8:15pm*

Jungkook stood on the balcony, in his dark purple robe and puffing smoke from his cigar, when he heard knocks on his door.

“Jungkook!” That was Mina’s voice. He groaned. She was the last person he wanted to see, but unfortunately, he has no option but to let her in. If he didn’t, he’d be breaking a promise he made to his late father.

“Come in” he said.

Mina pushed the door open and walked in. She looked troubled, her blackmailer had been giving her a hard time, she had to get Jungkook to marry her as soon as possible. Then she would gain the power to kill the blackmailer for good.

“What do you want Mina? And why do you look so worried?” Jungkook questioned, not that he cared though.

“Jungkook, when are you going to make me your wife?” Mina asked. Jungkook sighed, trying to control his anger. He was already pissed off by the person trying to burn his warehouse..

“Look Mina, I don’t want to talk about this okay? If this is why you came in here, you might as well leave” he said and continued to puff out smoke from his cigar.

Mina groaned.

“No.. you have to give me a reasonable answer this time Jungkook. We have been betrothed for close to 10 years now, when are you finally going to make me your wife? Or are you planning to go against the promise you made to your father?” Mina whined.

“Mina look, I have a lot of things on my mind right now. I’d appreciate it if you let me be.. before you get on my nerves” Jungkook said, trying very hard to be calm but Mina was annoying the shit out of him.

“You can’t keep pushing me aside like this Jungkook! You know how much I love you. I’ve always loved you, even when we were kids. Let’s get engaged at least!” Mina continued to whine.

“Mina!!” Jungkook screamed, she paused with tears in her eyes.

“Just.. just get out! Get the fuck out before I lose control!” He yelled at her. She stared at him for a moment before running out of his room.

She was heartbroken, she loved Jungkook, she loved him in a way no one was able to love him, but he had never appreciated her. Now she needs to marry him, to secure her secret, but he isn’t looking her way.

* 11:00pm*

“Jungkook! Jungkook!!” Loud bangs landed on Jungkook’s door and jerked him from his sleep. He raced to door, opened it and Taehyung rushed in, breathing heavily. He looked greatly disturbed.

“What’s the matter? Why are you shouting like that in the middle of the night!” Jungkook asked, panting.

“The.. the.. warehouse.. the warehouse” Taehyung stammered, his breathing wasn’t stabilized. He had raced down to Jungkook’s house all the way from his own house after hearing the shocking news.

“Yes? What happened to my warehouse?” Jungkook asked, getting tensed up.

“The manager just called Jungkook! The warehouse is on fire!” Taehyung exclaimed. Jungkook moved backwards in shock.

“My warehouse is what?!”

“Everything has been burnt to the ground!” Taehyung said.

“Fuck!” Jungkook cursed and quickly threw on his robe over his bare body. He rushed out of the room, followed by Jungkook. They entered his car and drove off in a hurry.

“Where the fuck were all the guards!” He barked.

“They were all shot dead at the spot” Taehyung answered, giving Jungkook another shock. Whoever did this, must have planned it out very carefully.

“I won’t spare that bastard! Whoever he is!” Jungkook was very cross now. He drove like a madman on the empty road, ignoring the traffic lights. Taehyung was scared that they would have an accident if he didn’t slow down, but Jungkook cared less.

Within minutes, they arrived at the warehouse, it was still blazing, but firefighters were already trying their best to calm the fire.

“Mr Jeon, please come with me!” The detective said, he made his way to his cop car and Jungkook followed. Taehyung went to help the firefighters and other workers to rescue some goods. Although almost everything had been turned to ashes.

“We found the culprit. The newly installed security system worked perfectly and the culprit has been traced. Some of the policeman have gone to get him right now” the detective explained, pointing to a recorded footage. Jungkook nodded, unable to speak.

He paced up and down, watching his hard work turn to dust. His face had turned pure red, he was so angry. All he wanted was to see the one responsible for everything.

“Oh, it seems they’re here!” The detective exclaimed and Jungkook rushed over to cops and grabbed the man they came with. He punched him hard on his nose until the man bled.

“Mr Jeon, allow the police to take care of this” an inspector said, Jungkook glared at him.

“Don’t you dare tell me what to do. I’ll handle this, my way” he said and pulled the man away to a secured room at the back of his warehouse. He tied him up with the help of some of his men.

“Tell me now! Tell me who sent you to burn my warehouse! Because you’re obviously not the mastermind” Jungkook screamed at the man.

The man was average height, and was wearing black pants and a black shirt. He had a big scar on his cheek, he was obviously a hired assassin of some sort.

“I won’t tell you anything” the man said, looking straight into Jungkook’s eyes. Jungkook chuckled and landed another huge blow on his face. A tooth fell out.

“I said, tell me who sent you!” Jungkook ordered. He was getting impatient, very impatient. He wanted to kill him, but he had to get his information first.

“Tell me!!” He yelled. But the man didn’t budge.

Jungkook pulled out a dagger, he forcefully took the man’s hand and placed it on the desk beside them. The man panicked, wondering what Jungkook was going to do with the dagger.

“You won’t tell me right?” He smirked. With a lot of force, he lifted the dagger and it landed on the man’s index finger, ripping it off completely. The man’s screams could be heard miles away, as his finger was bleeding profusely.

“Now, will you tell me.. or should I take the thumb?” Jungkook asked, lifting the dagger again but the man screamed.

“No.. no please I’ll tell you. It’s.. it’s Manoban Tiller.. it’s him” he confessed.

Jungkook was pleased but also confused. Why would the same person who helped him get a security system, do this to him?

“Tiller?” He asked and sighed. He looked at the man and didn’t hesitate before using the dagger to separate his head from the rest of his body.

“Tiller” he called, cleaning the blood on his dagger. He went outside to meet Taehyung. They had managed to subdue the fire, but the damage was much.. millions were lost..several millions!

“Put a call through to Tiller” he ordered Taehyung.

📞 “Tiller!”

📞 “Hello Jungkook, long time, no see”

📞“You know, you just messed with the wrong person. You’re going to pay for the loss you cost me, your blood will be used to pay for it”

📞“I’m waiting for you Jungkook. Do your worst”

📞 “It’s war”

Jungkook hung up.

Tiller laughed loudly after hanging up the call.

“Oh Jungkook! You will lose everything you have. The security system will only help me monitor you, and I’ll make you lose everything your father stole from me” he said and entered his room.

“Jungkook.. it was Tiller?” Taehyung was shocked.

“Why would he do that?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care. I’ll make him pay for every penny he cost me. He doesn’t know who I am” Jungkook seethed.

“What are you going to do?” Taehyung asked, afraid that there might be an actual war.

“Hit him where it hurts” Jungkook replied and walked away.
