The Hunchback Son-in-law Dinner with the Big Boss
Logan sat down next to Mi-young as the car drove towards Mi-young's hotel. "Talk to me, what happened?" Mi-young asked Logan. Logan didn't respond. He kept his head bowed while his mind raced with thoughts. Finally, he spoke. "It's been a long night, Mi-young. I'd just like to take a nap."Mi-young wasn't having any of that. "Sure but at least give me something to work with. Where the hell have you been these past four days?"Logan rubbed his temple. "I've been away. That's all I can tell you, Mi-young."Mi-young studied him. She saw the seriousness in his eyes and decided not to press the issue any further. "The Big Boss wants to see you," she revealed. "Marcus told him everything about you. I've been instructed to bring you along with me on my dinner date with the Big Boss."Logan looked at her. "That's sooner than I expected."Mi-young shrugged. "I'm meeting with him tonight, two hours from now to be precise."Logan couldn't believe it. He was going to meet the Big Boss in two
The Hunchback Son-in-law The System
Logan didn't know what kind of challenge he expected from the Big Boss. Mi-young stood up sharply. "Big Boss, that's unacceptable. Why should Logan die for challenging you?""Because it takes more than just guts to challenge me, Mi-young," The Big Boss snapped. "If he isn't worth the onion then I'll kill him, for wasting my goddamn time."Mi-young glanced helplessly at Logan. "Logan, there's still time. You can bail out now. You don't have to go ahead with this."Logan stared at her. "Of course I have to. I can't give up now. I must see this through.""But you honestly can't win against him," Mi-young slammed her hands on the table. "Didn't you hear what he said? He said he'll kill you if you lose to him."Logan smirked. "You must know one thing, Mi-young. I can't lose. Don't worry about me, okay?"Mi-young sagged her shoulders. She didn't know what else to say to Logan. The Big Boss placed both hands on the table. "Mi-young, you'll be a distraction to us. Why don't you leave us al

"That's understandable. If you defeat me, then you'll gain everything I've ever own. But if I defeat you, I'll kill you."Logan decided he wasn't going to die— especially not like this. "So all I have to do is beat you at chess and that's all?" Logan asked, making a move on the chess board. "There are three challenges you must pass to defeat me," the Big Boss said.

"What's the third challenge?"The Big Boss could see the determination in Logan's eyes. There was a fire in there that made him look dangerous. "There is no third challenge," the Big Boss said. Logan's eyes softened. "What do you mean there's no third challenge? You told me there were three —""That's what I said but the truth is I only have two challenges for you to pass inorder to beat me," the Big Boss said. "You have defeated me.

Logan knelt on both knees as he faced the Taeyang sisters. Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel and Grace surrounded him. "I know you probably hate me by now," Logan said. "I owe each and everyone of you an apology. I'm deeply sorry for abandoning you for six months. It was never my intention to stay away that long.

But surprisingly, Ava stepped forward. "Logan, stand up."When Logan stood up and lifted his eyes to meet hers, he stiffened. There were tears in Ava's eyes. "Logan, you have no idea how much I've missed you. I thought you'd never come back. I'm happy you came."Isabel approached him. She was all smiles. "I also forgive you, Logan. We all do.

"I am Logan, the Taeyang sisters boyfriend," Logan declared. Tom Hankins face suddenly changed into a mask of hate. "So, you're the bastard Yuna keeps yapping about, huh?""I'm glad you've heard of me," Logan replied. "That makes things easier for both of us.""No it doesn't," Tom snapped. "You're all the Taeyang sisters talk about. I've tried repeatedly to court them but they're so obsessed with you it's sickening."Logan rubbed the back of his head, laughing embarrassingly.

Divine healing
The gate opened in the streets of Seoul as Logan stepped out of the portal. "It's so good to be back," Logan said, breathing in the air. Then he frowned. "Something feels off. The air smells a bit crisp."Logan navigated his way through the busy side walk. "I hope I wasn't gone too long?"Suddenly, he stopped walking as he stood before a newspaper vendor. Something caught his eyes. It was the headline on the front page. Written in bold letters, Logan read out loud. "Taeyang family faces financial crises as Kim Taeyang battles illness?"Logan grabbed a copy and quickly skimmed through the article, his heart pounding.

Logan glanced at Thandolwethu out of the corner of his eyes. "You seriously want to do this?" He asked. Thandolwethu grunted. "Try me. I'm not playing around."Logan chuckled softly. "If you think you're going to win against me by blowing yourself up, then you're in for a surprise because I can't die."Thandolwethu scoffed. "As if.""I'll make you an offer," Logan said. "I'll let you live if you take me to the Mona Lisa. I promise not to hurt you.""You think I'll easily betray my mistress?" Thandolwethu said angrily. "For your information, I've sworn my loyalty to the Mona Lisa. You can't change my mind."Logan started walking towards the stairs. Thandolwethu stiffened in shock. "Why are you moving? I'll pull the strings if you take another step."Logan kept walking. It was as if he had gone deaf all of a sudden. Sweat beads formed on Thandolwethu's face as she cried out. "You bastard! Don't you fear death?"Logan was now ascending up the stairs. He glanced at her out of the corn

The final battle
Andrei pointed his finger at Logan. "By orders of the Mona Lisa, we are tasked to kill you. If you can make it out of the battle field alive, then take the stairs where Thandolwethu stands."Logan stared at Thandolwethu. He could tell she was skillful but that was all there is to her. There was nothing special about her. "Is that it?" Logan asked looking very confident. Andrei gritted his teeth. "You sound cocky but let me give you a warning. Don't underestimate Thandolwethu. She may look frail but she's a blood lusted killer."Logan shrugged. "I'll be the judge of that.""The stairs lead to the elevator. If by any chance, you survived Thandolwethu and killed her, you can take the elevator and head for room 204. The Mona Lisa would be waiting for you," Andrei said. Logan couldn't believe it. They were putting everything on the plate for him. All he had to do was defeat Andrei and Thandolwethu and the Mona Lisa was his. Just like that. Logan had an idea the Mona Lisa was settin
