Sung Nan's face became deathly pale and ashen when he saw that his initial fear was right. It was really the CEO of Cho Corporation, Daniel Cho!
He had heard how strict Daniel was as a President and how ruthless he was to his enemies or anyone who went against him. Sung Nan had even experienced it himself when Cho Corporation severed ties with Quantum Solutions, exposing all his underground dealings and influencing all the other major investors to withdraw from his company. He went bankrupt in a day and he had to live in hiding and under a new identity in order to falsify documents.
The last time that he had seen and talked to Daniel Cho face to face was almost two years ago. And even then, his presence was already intimidating. However, since they were discussing business during that time, he had always kept a polite attitude towards Sung Nan. But this time, seeing the man in front of him, Daniel's character felt far from how he was back when he was being polite.
Sung Nan had just realized what he had said just now, 'Release me and I will give you money?'. Who was he kidding? How could he even afford Daniel Cho! What's more, even if he had all the money in the world, how could he dare to buy him out? What he said left a bitter taste in his mouth, he wanted to cough blood out because of embarrassment!
Sung Nan got scared out of his wits when he saw Daniel's face from the shadows. "P-p-president Cho!", he stuttered.
"Oh, so you still remember me? Good. That spares me time to do introductions, which I already don't have.", Daniel said, a sinister smile plastered on his face making him look more attractive yet dangerous.
In Sung Nan's thoughts, he didn't know how to respond. 'Of course, I remember you! How could I not? You're the kind of person whose presence can't be ignored; especially in the business world!', his head was full of wonder but one thing still confused him and so he bravely opened his mouth, "P-president Cho, I stayed away from you and your company already. W-why are you doing this to me? What do you want from me? I will do anything as long as you let me go!"
Daniel leaned back to his chair and crossed his legs, "Really? You will do anything?"
"Yes! Anything!", Sung Nan nodded excessively and continued, "I can be your dog! I can do things for you so you that you won't have to dirty your hands!"
Daniel brought his hands up to the sides as a gesture, "Dirty my hands? But my hands are already dirty.".
Sung Nan had once again reminded himself of where he was at that moment, 'Of course! Daniel Cho doesn't need more servants!'. He swallowed before he asked carefully, "Th-then… what can I do for you?"
Daniel sighed and clasped his hands loosely, "It's simple really, all you have to do… is to admit that you have stolen Trident's game."
Sung Nan's expression changed, 'How did he know about that? Trident remained quiet after Gamescape launched the game.', he pondered but that wasn't important anymore. If Daniel wanted him to admit in exchange for his release, then he will!
"I don't know how you knew about that, but as long as you release me… okay! I admit! I stole their game and launched it under Gamescape!", he admitted shamelessly.
But then without thinking too much, he continued to blabber. "After Cho Corporation cut ties with us, Trident won the bidding and is now very successful with your partnership! I can't believe I lost to a woman!! Having her game stolen from her…", he scoffed, "...that bitch had it coming!"
Daniel clenched his teeth as soon as he heard Sung Nan called Samantha a bitch. His hand balled into a fist and then his knuckles whitened. He wanted so much to swing his arm and break Sung Nan's face but he suppressed himself.
'You dared to call my woman with such an unpleasant word? Have you gotten tired of living?', he spoke in his thoughts but he remained silent.
Although he was quiet, his expression went dark and the room's temperature instantly felt colder. Even two men standing at the side glanced at each other as they also felt his threatening presence.
Daniel couldn't let it slide, after all, he doted on his woman so much and this scum of a person offended him.
"Sharp, come in for a second.", Daniel called Sean who was outside of the room.
The door opened and Sean came in with a knife and a stone in his hands, "What is it? Did you need something?"
With an unreadable expression, Daniel asked, "You're a chef, you must know about the hottest pepper as of date, right? I heard it was something like… Carolina…"
"Ah! Of course, I do! It's Carolina Reaper Pepper! According to the tests, it's 200x hotter than Jalapeno, so it's the world's hottest pepper. Why are you suddenly interested in that at a time like this?", Sean questioned.
Sung Nan and the other two men in the room were also curious why Daniel had suddenly asked about this.
"Do you happen to have one of those?", Daniel casually probed.
Sean chuckled, "No… Although I'd like to get my hands on some out of curiosity. But I do have the most famous super hot pepper, the 'Ghost Pepper' in my kitchen."
His friend already had a feeling about what Daniel was about to do and he was very amused as to how the pitiful Sung Nan had managed to piss his friend off.
Daniel had on his menacing smile as he looked at Sung Nan. And very slowly, he enunciated every word clearly, "Ahh… I see... can you lend me a few? I have just learned that our friend Mr. Nan actually loves peppers. He just told me that he would like to eat some."
Sung Nan's face was drained of blood when he heard what Daniel had just said. 'I never said anything like that!', he protested in his mind.
His heart raced wildly when he thought about what the devil had implied. He was very weak when it comes to anything hot or spicy. Was Daniel Cho really going to let him eat the hottest pepper?!
