Travis stood before Yuna, his eyes locked into hers. "What's the matter, baby? Surprised to see me?"

Yuna balled her hands into fists. "Travis, what's the meaning of this?"

Travis ran his long fingers through his hair. "Exactly what it looks like. I got daddy involved in the casting choice for the movie. Dad pulled a few strings and well, here we are."

"I can't believe you," Yuna snapped at him, her back stiff. "You've ruined this entire film with the recasting. That's unacceptable."

"Why are you making a big deal out of it anyway," Travis said arrogantly. "I'm perfect for the male lead role. This is the way things should've been from the start."

"No, you're doing this because you're trying to get us back together," Yuna pointed out. "You're an opened book, Travis. I can read you loud and clear. But don't waste your time. It's over between us. Stop forcing things."

Travis folded his arms. "Too late, Yuna. I'm the male lead in this film. You don't have a choice."

    Yuna faced the well dressed man, her hands at akimbo. "Thanks for the offer but I don't need those. It's Logan's gift that I want."The wealthy man couldn't believe Yuna rejected him. He wasn't used to rejection. "Playing hard to get, huh?" The man placed his hand on his chest. "Ask about me, I am Khalid Al-Fayad, the oil tycoon. I'm ready to spend on your beauty if you'd leave your boyfriend. He can't possibly take care of you."Yuna was about to say something when Elijah stepped forward. He locked his eyes into Khalid Al-Fayad. "You must think your money can buy you anything, including sex and love. I'll tell you what, Yuna is not for sale."Khalid frowned. "How dare you speak to me in that manner. You certainly have no right to look me up in the face."But Logan was past caring. He reached out and grabbed Khalid by the front of his shirt and pulled him down to meet his gaze. "You may have a lot of money, yes, but you can never have Yuna. She doesn't need your money to feel value

    The Dragon General. Logan had heard all about the Dragon General. He was a powerful man who commanded an army of ten thousand men. World leaders respect and fear his power. The Dragon General was subjected to no one. He independently owned his own domain where he ruled as it's sole ruler. Logan had never seen the Dragon general but tales of the legendary general has been passed from generations to generations. "I'm shocked you knew the Dragon general was here in Dubai," Yuna said as she drove them to Bur Dubai, the old city of Dubai. Logan looked searchingly out the window as Yuna found a spot to park. "He's got to be around here somewhere," Logan said, getting out of the car. "Let's check the market."Yuna stared worriedly at him. She hurried out of the car and followed him closely behind. "Say, Logan, maybe you don't know this but the Dragon General is rarely seen outside his domain. It's nearly impossible to book an audience with him.""What brought this on?" Logan asked, st

    "YOU SHALL SERVE ME AS YOUR MASTER FROM NOW HENCEFORTH."The Dragon General had never heard such a demand before. Everywhere he went, he was reverend and feared. No man wanted troubles with him because due to his army. And yet, this young man was demanding to be his master. Still, there was something about the way Logan looked that convinced the Dragon General that Logan was a man of high calibre."Very well," the Dragon General accepted. "If my ailment is cured, then I'll serve you."Logan decided he wasn't going to carry out the healing technique in front of everyone in public. "Shall we head to someplace more quiet?" Logan suggested, pointing at a lonely dark alley. The Dragon general frowned suspiciously. "There better be no tricks."Logan didn't say anything. He led the way to the dark alley where he was finally alone with the Dragon General. "Let me have your hands," Logan asked, stretching out his own hands. The Dragon General was still wary of Logan. "Let it be known t

    Kent Island was a tropical island city with beautiful beaches and reefs. The Kent family bought the island from the island village chief and transformed it into a small island city. Logan's boat glided on the sandy shores of Kent island. The sun was just beginning to set, casting a pink hue over the beach. As the boat came to a halt, Yuna and Logan disembarked from the boat. A group of eight men in black suits and sunglasses stood over them. In the center of the group stood Travis. There was a smug, confident expression on his face that made Logan sick. "Well, well, well, look who came to visit," Travis said, his voice dripping with venom. "Welcome to Kent Island, Logan."Logan met Travis gaze steadily, and even gave off a smile. "Thanks for the hospitality, Travis."Travis gritted his teeth. "So you can smile, huh? Not for long. These are your last moment of freedom. Enjoy it while it lasts."Yuna gripped Logan's arm tightly, her eyes hard. "I won't let you hurt him."Travis l

    Logan had dropped a bombshell. Edward Kent had never heard anyone speak to him in such manner. "I'm starting to see why Travis hates you," Edward Kent said, his voice dark. "I'm also starting to see why you deserve to die."Yuna ran up to Logan shielded him with her arms spread out. "I won't let you hurt him in any way. If you lay one finger on him, the Taeyang family would come against you.""Yuna, you stay out of this," Lucy Kent voiced out angrily. "You saw the way he talked at us. He disrespected my husband and the entire Kent family. He deserves to die.""You don't have any right to take anyone's life," Yuna retorted. "And you have absolutely no right to kill Logan.""Yuna," Edward Kent approached her. "You seemed to forget one thing, you are on Kent Island. Whatever happens here is within our jurisdiction. Moreover, the Taeyang family aren't that fearsome. We hold more influence than your family."Logan wasn't surprised by this. The Taeyang family were ridiculously wealthy but

    "Summon the Dragon army," Logan commanded. A grave silence settled in the hall as the Kent family stared at Logan as if he had lost his mind. "The dragon army," Edward Kent said, as he recovered from his initial shock. "Is this a sick joke?"Logan spread his arms wide. "It may seemed like a joke to you, Edward, but I have the command of the Dragon army at the tip of my fingers.""You're crazy," Travis shouted. "I don't understand what's going on with you but I can tell you're a psycho."Logan pointed directly at Travis. "You put all these in motion, Travis. You've ruined your family the moment you ignored my warning and hit me. You're doomed Travis, and you can have my pity."Edward Kent shouted at Logan. "You're just all talk, Logan! You are a nobody.

    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. I had to deal with things that I couldn't involve you in. That's why I didn't come back."Silence. The Taeyang sisters stared at him. Logan thought they would lash at him just like Grace did with him. 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.

"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. "Sorry you had to go through all that. I don't know how I did it either.""Don't feel sorry for me," Tom brawled. "The Taeyang family are facing a serious financial crises after you abandoned them. What are you going to do about it, boy?"Logan took a deep breath, then he spoke, "I've offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares.

He wants to marry three of the Taeyang sisters, Mi-young, Yuna and Grace. "Of course I declined," Kim Taeyang said as their cars pulled up outside Taeyang groups. "But Tom Hankins isn't the type of man to give up that easily. When he wants something he gets it."Logan and grace stepped out of the car and followed Kim Taeyang into the lobby. "He must think you're very desperate," Logan commented. "That's why he's piling up the pressure on you to sell since you're the major shareholder.""Left for me, I wouldn't sell," Kim Taeyang said. "But what about our shareholders, our investors and our clients? We need to think about what they want. Selling off my shares might just save the company but if I do that, I'll also be selling off my granddaughters."Logan didn't say anything as they approached the receptionist counter. The recepti

"I promise you this, I'll fix this whole mess if it's the last thing I do."Kim Taeyang raised an eyebrow. "I know you're very incredible, Logan, but can you really?"Just as Logan was about to answer, the door opened and Grace stepped inside. She stiffened when she saw Logan.

    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. From Logan's finding, it was revealed that Kim Taeyang suddenly fell ill. Being the family's patriarch, his deteriorating health led to instability within the family businesses.

    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
