《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 42

He pressed his earcom and hung up the call.And then he looked to the glass while he swang the red liquid inside of it.
He was positioned in front of the fireplace and was sitting in an adjustable chair that was a pair with the large table to his side. This room is very large for an office but nothing else is to be expected from a large mansion in the middle of nowhere.
Austin was in the dark, as he had turned off all the lanterns and the only light was the one coming from the fire and the three enormous five metre windows.
" Where is the girl?", He asked and someone ran from the door and stood behind him. The man was significantly older than Austin but he nonetheless behaved like Austin was holding a hatchet to his neck.
" Sir, she is being followed .", He answered almost afraid to speak. He quivered thanks to his already squeaky voice and his fear of Austin.
" Who is going to handle it?", Austin asked and he took a sip of liquid that was a fair mix of bitter and sweet.
" We could not get a hold of DongHan so I called Sehun and told him everything ", he answered almost speaking like he made a deadly mistake.
" There is something else . We still don't know who to blame for the leak and we received a blind carbon copy email-report for what is going on in Sejun and the board is not happy. They suggested a hearing for the chancellor because he hid all this ", he spoke and he outstretched his hand calling for his colleague by the door to bring the tablet.
He came running and he positioned the device on his colleague s hand, who quickly clicked on a few buttons and brought the screen to Austin.
Austin took it and while that happened, the other man spoke.
"Another thing is there is visual evidence of who pushed the computers out the windows but the isue is.. the evidence is not from our team. "
" Your point ? ",He paused scrolling the screen and questioned him
" There is another player but Sehun knows him ", he replied like he wanted to comfort Austin
" And he has a 'SuBin' trailing the guy right now ", the one standing next to Austin added
" He was given an order and he immediately begun his mission ", he further complimented his colleague s statement

" But they didn't explain too much about the guy", he added
A knock came on the door and one of the men hurried to go and open it.
Immediately then a strange small man entered holding a ringing smart phone on a silver stray. He was dressed in a black suit and was wearing white gloves . His hair was perfectly pulled back revealing his face that was not flattering at all in the dark
The man had a significant hiss in his breath, a large hump and he aort of limped and straddled while he walked. This sort of motion signaled adaptation to a naturally acquired physical malformation, that manifested probably during fetal development.
He passed by the man standing at the door and passed by the one next to Austin who stepped away in shameless disgust.
He limped a little bit more and stood next to Austin before addressing him as master
Austin turned his chair and looked to the small butler. He smiled his supportive comfy smile that was sweet and he took the phone. Simultaneously the man started to limp to the table to put down the tray
Austin waved his hand and the two other men also dressed in black suits simply left the room.
He pressed the earcom and placed the phone on the small side table that was next to him.
" What do you want me to do to this girl exactly", a man spoke and the phone identified him as Sehun.
"Give Eunwoo a reason to be barbaric ", the other responded. His voice was tagged ' Jeon Woonwoo '.
" and then sweeten her blood ", Woonwoo added nonchalantly making the other one scoff
" What about the video guy? YoonGi verified his identity ", Sehun asked
" He is useless now. Let him be.. ", Woonwoo replied
" Your dad asked us to watch Park and someone asked YoonGi to scan MinGi. Park is just the average guy but MinGi is not so much. ", Sehun spoke and he pressed some buttons on his side
" And..", Wonwoo wasn't really interested because he authorizes all his father's vigilante actions
" YoonGi found out some shady stuff about when MinGi was in highschool. MinGi did some money laundering and he deleted some records. And one of them is his birth certificate.", Sehun spoke cooly but he was far from as icy as Woonwoo
" He is ghost with a fake name ", Sehun added
" Do you know his real name?", His interest was spiked

" No but word is that his new birth was certified by a doctor working in Sejun ", Sehun dictated after that little bit of suspense that he knew he aced
This is honestly fascinating.
" Either the Sejun board is desperate to keep thier toys in one place or there is really some weird game on the decks", he spoke and then he proceeded to hung up the call..
Austin s phone showed that he disconnected and showed his location. This phone was tweaked and shows people s conversation in audio and word, without them knowing. It further more uses voice id to pick up identities. Of course people can sound the same but this phone verifies a person using that inbuilt habit that everyone has.
Before picking up the phone, everyone always looks at the screen and this phone hacks into the selfie camera and captures the face and eyeprint in that second. Soon after it scans all known databases produces the name registered to that ocular pattern .
" I can't hear you but I know you are listening. HanSol submitted a report two days ago and we were just verifying its validity", he answered and Austin smiled. He is impressed by his action and lack of trust.
When calls are important, Woonwoo does this thing where he explains things that call was talking about for Austin s sake . It helps Austin and confirms that Wonwoo is really not a blind player that assumes that his ignito mode is the real deal. Of course HanSol installed this thing for Austin but Woonwoo took the phone to YoonGi who further rigged it to completely prevent it possible to id Austin in any way
In general, Woonwoo has never seen or heard Austin's voice. But he knows that Austin has a beauty spot on his right hand s middle finger and long nail beds . When they meet , he was handing him the phone and Austin simply outstretched his hand out the window of a car. Nothing else was said or displayed
" Both the doctor and MinGi are pseudo pawns but HanSol agrees with the individual that requested the scan who is convinced they could possibly be a lot more powerful ", he spoke and then he too hung up.
Austin tapped the earcom and he asked the man in the room to fill up his cup and just then the phone rang again. He tapped it once more
" Twinkle toes might still tolerate Tzuyu. We dont have to completely fake a motif", he spoke with a menacing pleasure in his tone
" Do what you have to " , Woonwoo responded and the second caller hung up.
" Full name is Kim TaeHyung. When we found out he is coming to Sejun, Chan purposefully went to his room and watched him ever since ", Woonwoo responded
Austin smiled partly and he hung up the phone. He placed it down once more and he raised up his wine glass and he downed all of it
" Master, are you troubled over something? Can this servant possibly do anything for you ?", He sensed Austin s tension
" He is becoming a King and a threat ", he spoke while lowering the empty glass.
" That is true, master but what is also true is he respects you more than everyone. He knows your power but he doesn't want it but is rather impressed by it. He feels honored to work under you. ", The servant spoke and he bowed after finishing.
" How ironic..", he remarked then peered outside the window
The large structure was letting in light into the room and it shine magnificent on the tile. It was like symmetrical dry ice

Wonwoo was sitting on the rooftop of an abandoned building.
He hung his legs on the ledge and was just swinging them. Next to him was one of the smoothies that Yung made him and as much as he would love to drink it now , he really doesn't have appetite.
His phone showed that Austin had been listening to the call and he sort of wished he would comment so that he can id him but possibly HanSol might find out and that can never be a good thing...
He looked to the moon and as the wind blew , he felt the loneliness it carried and the solitude.
Sometimes he too feels like this big ball. Incapable of producing its own light and is only seen because of being another s reflection. Only remembered in the dark but forgotten during the day.
" Do I have to go back to studying?", He asked himself but he then decided against it. instead he played music and he fell backwards. He layed on his hands while staring at the sky.
It might be cold but there is a high possibility that he is going to fall asleep here. Especially now that there seems to be a plan
