A knife fell to the ground and the one who collapsed to the ground along with was none other than Lester Yun! What's more, it's not just the Red Tiger Boss, all his 8 subordinates also collapsed to the ground!

Staring at Lester Yun with a stupefied face, Aston quickly turned around to see who were the ones who fired their guns.

It's Leon and his men! The Blackhood. Leon Jung was the one who fired his gun at Lester Yun. However, all the enemies were all shot on the legs as the Government wanted them alive. Did Aria also inform the Young Master of the Blackhood? Maybe.

The members of the Blackhood quickly ran forward and captured Lester Yun and his men once again while Leon stood still with a troubled face. However, his rage was more than evident in his eyes!

Staring at Leon for a while, Aston quickly turned around when he realized Nathan. Just as expected, the face of the Reyon Boss was full of confusion. Who were the men who captured Lester Yun and his subordinates?!

"Nathan." The actor uttered and ran to his friend.

"Tell our men to return first," Nathan said to Kyler who was standing a step behind him. Kyler did as his Boss instructed right away.

After his men retreated, Nathan finally turned back to his friend. "Who are those men?" He asked, pointing his chin at Leon's men who were a few steps away. The Blackhood members were busy placing Lester's men inside the cars.

"They are the ones who helped me last time," Aston said. He was in a dilemma as he couldn't spill out the secret of the Blackhood.

"The ones who caught Lester Yun and failed to guard him well?" The tone of the Reyon Boss was quite sarcastic. "If that's the case, I think I should handle Lester Yun rather than them. I won't let him escape like they did."

Aston could sense how serious Nathan Woo was! That made him struggled for words to say!

"Are they gangsters too? But I doubt that. Their leader is Leon Jung, the Prime Minister's son and Nicole's ex-fiance." Nathan added when the actor fell silent.

"Nathan, I -"

Aston couldn't continue as a voice interrupted him from behind.

"Mr. Woo." It was Leon Jung who was just a step away with Ryan following him. All other Blackhood members had left.

Leon slightly bowed when he stood right in front of Nathan. Then he briefly glanced at Aston before he turned back to the Reyon Boss. "I will give you an answer. Aston couldn't say it as he has a clear conscience." His words made Aston darted his eyes to him.

"I'm Leon Jung, the one who is in charge of the Blackhood. Our leader is sick for a long time now. So, that made me the current Master of the Blackhood." Leon calmly said.

Aston didn't want to spill the secret of the Blackhood but... he was also wary of Nathan's reaction. No gangsters would be pleased if their paths collide with the Blackhood! After all, the purpose of the Blackhood existence was to restrict and stood against the Gangs.

Just as expected, the face of the Reyon Boss turned sour at the mention of the Blackhood. Not to mention that their leader was standing right before him! Ignoring Leon, he turned to Aston. "You work with the Blackhood?" His expression a mixture of disbelief and pain. He felt betrayed as Aston Kang was the only one whom he could consider a true friend!

"I will explain." Aston promptly said but Nathan made a dismissive gesture.

"You used to be one of us, Aston. I don't expect this." Nathan said. His voice was too cold which was very unfamiliar for the actor.

"Aston never betrayed you, Mr. Woo." Leon chimed in. "All he wanted was to stop Lester Yun. Only that way could he leads a peaceful life. I was the one who asked him to help us."

The actor didn't say anything and all he did was staring at his friend and observing his reaction. The Nathan Woo he knew was always an intelligent and reasonable man. He knew that Nathan was hurt by this revelation but still, he trusted in their friendship.

Nathan returned his friend's gaze before he briefly turned back to look at Kyler who was standing near his car. He knew what he should do. Turning back to Aston, he said, "I will leave first." He quickly turned around and approached his car.

Leon tried to speak up as he felt responsible but Aston stopped him. "I knew Nathan well. He rarely speaks or makes a decision when he is angry. I will talk to him after he calms down." He said to Leon.

Nathan was always careful before he jumped to conclusions and rarely talked when he was angry but... there was one exception. Cassandra Lim, that Moyan Boss. Nathan was never himself whenever that woman was concerned. What's more, he always broke his principles because of her.

After staring at Nathan's car until it was out of his sight, Aston left with Leon and returned to the city.

* * *

Throughout the ride back to the city, Nathan couldn't stop thinking of what happened. He hailed from a family of gangsters, so this was not a trivial matter for him.

In the past, when some infamous Gang Boss just disappeared out of nowhere, others used to say that it might be the doing of the Blackhood but there was never a proof. Not to mention that no one had ever seen the Blackhood members. Even if they did, they wouldn't recognize them as they live a seemingly normal life, unlike the gangsters. As such, it was believed that Blackhood only existed in stories and some people made up the stories to restrain the tyranny of some powerful gangs.

Nathan Woo grew up hearing these kinds of mysterious stories and today, he met the leader of the same organization, proving that it wasn't just a myth. How could he possibly accept that easy?! Not to mention that his only friend was working with them!

Though the existence of the Blackhood was never proved, it's a fact that every gangster had a bitter feeling towards the organization due to all the unsolved missing cases of the infamous gang bosses in the past. Will Lester Yun disappearance become another mystery?!

Considering all his friend's suffering due to Lester Yun and for Aston to have a peaceful life, he wanted the Red Tiger Boss to be gone but... why must it be the doing of the Blackhood? As someone who was connected to a gang even before he was born, Nathan finds it hard to accept!

When he glanced at his wristwatch, he raised a brow. It was almost 9 in the night and... the Chairwoman will surely be waiting for his call. Aston's phone was surely seized but will he call her through Leon? He was convinced that he would do, so he decided to not make the call.

After another half an hour ride, Nathan reached his house and gets off his car. He also told Kyler to go home as it was late now. Kyler did as he said and he was about to enter his gate until...

He saw her making her way to him again.

What a stubborn woman! He already told her not to come to his house as his subordinates wouldn't be pleased to see her. However, all his men retreated to the base tonight and no one was on duty. That made him feel a bit at ease. He might be the Boss but he couldn't just ignore his subordinates feelings or opinions. He was very different from Lester Yun who was famous for his tyranny.

In no time, Cassandra Lim was standing right beside him once again. She didn't smile or showed any other expression. Just a calm face but he had already gotten used to it after many years as this was just her normal self.

"I already said not to come to my house." His voice was calm yet his tiredness was quite evident. For tonight, he truly didn't have the energy to face this persistent woman.

"I never said I won't do it." Cassandra simply said which made the Reyon Boss let out a sigh.

"I really don't have the energy to deal with you tonight, Cassandra."

Cassandra Lim slightly raised a brow. "Did something happen today?"

Nathan fell silent for a while and said, "I have no reason to tell you." Much to his surprise, Cassandra Lim nodded.

"It's fine. You seem to be well now than last time. I'm satisfied with that." The Moyan Boss simply responded.

Nathan recalled how this woman nursed him the whole night last time. In fact, he was quite amazed. She didn't seem like someone who would know how to look after a sick person. He realized that there were still many things about her which he didn't know even after all those years.

"What do you want this time?" He asked. He could never win against her!

"I only came to see your face for a while. I'm quite busy these days." Cassandra said. Her gaze never left him the whole time.

After thinking about it, Nathan finally said, "It's cold here. Let's get inside."
