“Call Pyun,” Lord Asia said.

James searched his contact list and looked for the name mentioned.

He squatted in front of Lord Asia before dialling the number and threatened,” See,” showing him Lucas's number,I have called the embassy; I used Google to locate you here, and they are finding you underground; I know you impersonated Lord Asia that is not your real identity; think of what will happen to your wife and your child if you mess up with me.”

Fear etched on his face as James threatened, and he responded sharply, “I won't, I promised.”

“Speak English that I understand,” James commanded; he knew he could say something he didn't understand if he should speak in Korean.

He dialled the phone and put it on loudspeaker.

James didn't trust him and walked away from him as he dialled the call and told Lord Asia to speak louder in a way that the person on the other end would hear his voice.

“Talk,” James ordered.

“Bring the phone we took from James Wonslow up; I want to see something t

    James felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wondered what kind of excruciating pain the child must have suffered for her to be smelling like that. He pitied the child and went back inside. He checked the pulse of the child and noticed she was still breathing. “What is her name?” James asked. “Wulan,“ both parents chorused.James swallowed hard, held his breath, and sent them out. “You should go out and let me do my work.”Lord Asia's wife gazed at her husband, and he nodded. The husband and wife walked side by side out of the room; Min-ji's eyes didn't leave her child. Lord Asia told her to trust the doctor he brought. As they left, James called out her name, “Wulan.” “Can you help me to die?” She requested death by stuttering. “Is that your choice?” James asked “I'm tired of fighting; the pain is unbearable for me. Please help me,” she responded with teary eyes.“This is your last fight, and let's fight it together. I will cure you, and you will walk out of this room soon. D

    He was silent, he didn't answer questions and kept begging James. If not killing, why would they trick him from Aston Villa to Asia, James was sure of the mail he received and how the so-called Lord of Asia packaged himself.

Min-ji came to James to thank him again. She tucked her hand in her husband's hands and said, “Thank you, doctor, we appreciate what you did for us, I have called my father and he is on his way coming with all the members of my family,”“That is good because Lord Asia has something to tell you and they need to hear it too. Good people end up with bad people, what a world!”Min-ji face instantly paled, she looked at her husband without emotion, and her eyes turned red immed

    He could not get who his father was arguing with on the phone, the record and her mother looked back and asked,” Is that him?”“Yes, still on it, we will discuss it when James is out of the picture,” David Winslow saidJames's parents were too cautious, they didn't say crucial or harmful things in the presence of their child despite not knowing what they were talking about, that was why James missed the opportunity to know who they were talking about. At this point he believed their death was not natural, he checked the date of the video recording, it was the previous day they lost their lives.

I came to check the police report on the accident that happened on December 19, 1999.”The female officer smirked lightly when she heard his name. She was delighted to attend to James and said, “I haven't been born, sir. I will direct this to the DPO before I do that. I will check the date if the accident was reported. Please have your seat, sir. Why do I check the registration file?”“Thank you,” James said as he sat.The female po

Dominic clenched his fist tightly on the phone, “Please take it easy. I control the whole of the North District of Aston Villa; no one dares look into my eyes.

Could it be that Roseline adopted her children? A sweat formed on Roseline’s forehead and she retorted, “She is my child; you can't tell me what to do with her.”“I didn't say she was not your child, but she is now a grown-up; can't you just be a good mother for once? You chased her away with your attitude; now that she is back, instead of living with her peacefully, you bring your old attitude; aren't you tired?”“Your useless poor Maureen is a bad mother, not me; is she still alive or dead of diseases before you become this little successful?
