Daichi also went to meet his boss, the mob leader of the Mainland City. Kier, on the other hand, drove Andrea to her university and Kaye to the Foundation Center. This made Andrew and Shun left home.

Andrew brings him to the office and talks close door.

"Shun, you are not here just for a visit, is it?" he began.

Shun firstly heaves a long sighed before he replied. "Uncle Andrew, you are the one who's there during the investigation. I suspected you know the truth."

"What truth you wanted to know?"

Shun pressed his lips, then opened them. "Did Ca.s.sandra truly die in that s.h.i.+pwrecked?"

Andrew peered at him for a long moment before he responded. "Are you certain this is what you wanted to know?"

"What I really wanted is for you to tell me all the information you know, Uncle Andrew."

"I will tell you everything, after you show me, that you are prepared."

Shun could see that Andrew measuring him. The way he acted, it looks, there is a greater reason behind the death of the Young's.

"I want to know everything, so I know what I should do."

"That's great. Exactly what I needed to hear." Andrew rose from the couch and walked to his table. He opens his vault and draws out a black long envelope.

He sat back to the couch, and then lay the two folders in front of Shun. Confused, he picked up one and began reading the content. His eyes widen. 

The doc.u.ments are Landon's "Last Will Testament" left everything he owns to him. The villa, the man-made forest, the US properties, and an account of some amount... but the greater wealth Landon left him, is his all a.s.sets and owners.h.i.+p of the UKG Builders International.

"Uncle Andrew? What is this all about?" he inquired.

"After Landon takes back what belongs to his father, he urgently seeks my service to do his Last Will."

"Are you telling me that the day I met them one last time, their life has been threatened already?"

"Yes. During Ca.s.sandra's birthday, I went to meet him."

"So, it was you who he said that someone he has to meet in the town," he looks back.

"I received a call from Landon that night, asking to finish his Last Will. I met him to sign these doc.u.ments."

"He already antic.i.p.ates their death," his heart pinching with pained. "And he did not tell me anything? And about Ca.s.sandra, he should inform me, at least."

"Truly he already prepared to hide her away from the Kang's. Landon transferred a huge amount to Hannah's brother for having her." Andrew went on.

"But when it is the day that Ca.s.sandra is about to travel to France, Julius Kang's men found them." 

"I could recall that day Ca.s.sandra and I talked over the phone. She told me she would arrive in Paris the next day. But—" he chokes up. Instead, what arrives the very next day is sad news.

Tears running down his eyes. He could remember how they planned with his schedule to have time for Ca.s.sandra and accompany her to stroll around Paris and Italy. Then the tragedy happens.

"Shun, Landon doesn't want to burden you, and so he did not tell you his real plans why she is sending Ca.s.sie to Paris.  But he trusted you." 

"However, by that time, yet you hardly free yourself from your uncle."

"But still..." he feels devastated. That time, their life was already in danger. But he cannot stay to do something and then to protect them. He sighed furiously.

"And so, because of an involvement with a huge a.s.sets Papa Landon reclaim from the Kangs, it murdered them."

"You are correct, Shun."

His gaze sharpens. Anger surging from the deepest part of his chest, and his entire body s.h.i.+vering from the desire to kill this Julius Kang. He cannot promise to keep his cool once he will cross path with him.

Contemplating a plan to get his revenge, Shun notices the other folder on the table.

"And how about this one?" He flips the folder, and discover, it is another Last Will. However, the contents differ from the first one. 

It declared that all the properties will go to Ca.s.sandra. But Landon gives him 10% of Young's a.s.sets at the UKG company, which the rest is for Ca.s.sandra. Also, Landon appointed him as her guardian until she was in legal age.

And being her guardian, he has to find her and protect her against this murderer, Julius Kang.

Andrew could see how Shun's face darkened. He looks like wanted to kill someone right now. "Shun, I haven't told you this because we are protecting her."

"Her? So you know her whereabouts? Like you were hiding her from anybody? Even to me…" there is bitterness in his voice, but he will try to understand why Andrew has to keep this as a secret.

"I'm very sorry if I haven't revealed to you the soonest. But I have the intention to tell you once you stood on your feet and you came back to yourself and ready to look after her. In these pa.s.sing years, you refused to continue your treatment."

"But at least, you let me know that she is alive." There is a pain in his voice.

"I know that. Do you think your aunt Kaye alone who sent all those messages with codec meanings?"

"What?" He truly often receives something from Kaye. Then it is from Andrew. 

"I monitor your condition, yes. But often, you showed being lifeless. I attempt so many times to talk to you over chat messages, but you ignore my messages. These I could tell, you haven't moved on yet, and so, I can't bring it up to you."

"I admit, I do waste my life these pa.s.sing years."

"Shun, no other people should realize that she is alive. Even to my sons, I never bring up this to them."

"But Meisha and Riley know she is alive. And Daichi, I tell him already."

"Did they meet in Italy? How did you have the idea she's alive?"

It takes a long moment of silence before Shun replied. He is weighing if he should tell Andrew how he found out about Ca.s.sandra.

"The thing is, Uncle Andrew, someone spotted her."

He's having a hard time making lies. He cannot tell this middle-aged man the truth. He needs to hide the photos, and he must ask both Riley and Meisha to keep it a secret of what they've found.

And how he could tell everyone, that he was like possessed? And when that happens, he is with Ca.s.sandra… and then; he was intimate with her.

Can they forgive him after finding the secret that he kissed her? Shun start feeling how his cheeks burning and so, he distracted himself.

"Italy?"

"Martin told me they live in Italy."

"But—" What's going on then? Isn't Ca.s.sandra possibly lived in France?

"Martin? Who is he? Ca.s.sandra mentions she will live with his uncle but I had forgotten his name."

"Martin Castillo is Hannah's half brother. He is Spanish."

"So, either they live in Italy, or France, and possibly in Spain… these countries we must first look at," he utters.

"What are you thinking now, Shun?"

"I have to find her soon. Before the Kang learn that she is alive."

"If you will fight the Kang, then you need strength, Shun."

"You're right, Uncle Andrew. And I need your help when that time comes."

"You got our back." Andrew retorted.

"Thank you, Uncle Andrew."

"I guess it is time for you to meet him." Andrew placed a calling card. "He lives in New Jersey. A lawyer whom Landon trusts. He knew everything about when the YKG Builder established."

"YKG? Is it the original name of the company?"

"Yes. Young-Kang Group of Builders. But they changed it when it became International. It becomes United Kang Group International."

"The Kang's, I will make them pay for what they've done to the Young's."

"But I want to remind you, Shun. Julius Kang becomes a very influential man. We cannot just accuse him of his crimes."

"I knew that, Uncle Andrew. And so, I will gather all the evidence and doc.u.ments to prove all Young's owners.h.i.+p to the company. David and Matt are working in different agencies of the government, I will need them soon."

Andrew nodded. "In the near future, a.s.sures that we will support you. By the way, are you going to New York after here?"

"Not yet, Uncle Andrew. I will go straight to Italy and talk to Uncle Nicholas."

"You will seek his help then? If that so, then Chairman Crow has the power to back you up against the Kangs."

"Yes. However, I have to bargain something in return." he sighed. Whatever it is, he will take risks everything he has just to find her and protect her.

Andrew retorted. "That's for sure. But always remember, you have our back too, Shun. When the day comes and you lay your plans, you can count us in." Andrew's offers.

Shun nodded. His mind has now filled for the plans he wanted to take place…

"Soon, we will see each other again, Ca.s.sandra."
