WHAT A TWIST!

Chapter 99

Hyun Min slid his phone into the depths of his pocket, the weight of his message to Sarah settled heavily upon him. The words, though brief, had been laced with an unspoken apology, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he had disappointed her. The pang of guilt gnawed at his conscience, but he pushed it aside, his thoughts consumed by the obligations that lay ahead. Tonight, he was bound by duty to attend a family dinner. Yet, before he could surrender to the expectations of others, he had a matter of his own to attend to, a pressing concern that demanded his attention.

Hyun Min's eyes blazed with fury as he stepped into the dimly lit underground complex, the words "Red Room" etched in bold letters above a doorway that seemed to pulse with an ominous energy. He was consumed by a burning need to teach those inside a lesson, to unleash the pent-up rage that had been simmering beneath his surface.

As he made his way deeper into the complex, two imposing figures emerged from the shadows, their faces twisted into sneers. One of them reached out to block Hyun Min's path, his hand wrapping around Hyun Min's arm like a vice. "Who are—"

The words died on his lips as Hyun Min's fist shot out, connecting with a sickening crunch to the guy's jaw. A tooth flew out, landing on the cold concrete floor with a faint clink. The guy's eyes widened in shock, his hand releasing its grip on Hyun Min's arm as he stumbled backward, clutching at his shattered tooth.

The second guy took a step back, his eyes flicking nervously between Hyun Min and his fallen companion. For a moment, it seemed as though he might try to intervene, but Hyun Min's intense gaze and the simmering fury that seemed to radiate from every pore of his being stayed his hand. Instead, he swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he nodded hastily and backed away, allowing Hyun Min to pass.

As Hyun Min entered the room, his eyes scanned the space with a calculating intensity, taking in the lavish decor and the occupants. The boss, a man with a smug expression, sat in a plush chair, his attention divided between Hyun Min and the two ladies he was kissing. One at a time, he lavished them with attention, his hands roaming freely over their bodies.

In the corner, another guy sat, his eyes fixed on his phone, oblivious to the scene unfolding before him. Two burly guys stood there in the room,their faces impassive, as they watched Hyun Min with an air of curiosity.

The boss finally noticed Hyun Min's arrival and waved his hand dismissively, sending the ladies scurrying out of the room. They left with a mixture of reluctance and fear, casting nervous glances over their shoulders.

Hyun Min sat down, crossing his legs with a fluid motion, his eyes never leaving the boss's face. The boss, attempting to assert his dominance, sneered at Hyun Min. "A good-looking guy with a deadly aura... am shaking in my boots!" he said, his voice dripping with mockery.

Hyun Min's response was a low, husky chuckle, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You don't look confident," he said, his voice laced with subtle disdain. "And you call yourself a boss? What a shame."

The boss's words dripped with malice, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light as he spoke about Sarah. "About the girl yesterday, I was even planning to have my way with her..." Hyun Min's expression didn't change, but a spark of fury ignited in his eyes. He chuckled, a low, menacing sound, as he nodded his head. "Oh, I see," he said, his voice laced with a deadly calmness.

In a flash, Hyun Min stood up, his movements swift and precise. Before anyone could react, he struck the boss with a powerful blow, sending him crashing to the floor. The boss's eyes widened in shock, his face twisted in pain and surprise. Hyun Min's eyes blazed with anger as he stood over him. "That's for harassing her!" he growled, his voice low and menacing.

The boss scrambled to his feet, his face reddening with rage. "You are quite confident, aren't you?" he spat, his voice trembling with fury. "What gave you the assurance that you'll walk out of here alive?"

Hyun Min's gaze locked onto the boss's, his eyes flashing with a fierce intensity. "The individual who laid hands on her," he said, his voice cold and detached. "I demand to see him." His words hung in the air, a challenge, a demand, and a promise of retribution.

The boss's chuckle was a cold, mirthless sound, like the scraping of ice against stone. "I think I've just found a compelling reason to shed any qualms about disfiguring your face," he sneered, his eyes gleaming with a sadistic light. With a subtle gesture, he signaled the two imposing guys standing at the back of the room, their faces impassive, their eyes cold and calculating.

But Hyun Min was a whirlwind of precision and fury. Before the men could even react, he sprang into action. With lightning-fast reflexes, he delivered a crushing elbow strike to one of the guy,sending him crashing to the floor with a pained gasp. The other guy didn't fare any better, as Hyun Min executed a swift and lethal strike, his body crumpling to the ground like a puppet with its strings severed.

The room seemed to hold its breath as Hyun Min turned his attention to the boss. With a fluid motion, he leapt onto the table, his eyes blazing with unbridled fury. The boss's smirk faltered as Hyun Min's foot connected with his chest, sending him stumbling backward. Hyun Min grabbed the boss's face, his fingers digging deep into his skin, and unleashed a barrage of precise, calculated blows.

"Where is he?" Hyun Min growled, his voice a low, menacing rumble, his eyes burning with an unquenchable rage. The boss struggled to respond, his face a grotesque mask of blood and bruises, his eyes swelling shut. He raised a trembling hand, as if pleading for mercy, but Hyun Min's grip only intensified.

Just as it seemed like Hyun Min would continue his relentless assault, a voice spoke up from the corner of the room, calm and detached. "I did it." The words hung in the air like a challenge, and Hyun Min's gaze snapped towards the speaker, his eyes narrowing into slits.
