Chapter 337 - Mistaken Identity (1/2)

It didn't take long before Jackson received a message back from Kwon: ”Tattooing is illegal in Korea, so all tattoos like this one are done by the same man. He does them exclusively for gang members and contractors. A dragon clutching a white pearl means that that person can be hired for extortion and kidnapping. A red pearl means they can be hired for extortion, kidnapping, and trafficking. If you ever come across someone with a black pearl, you should be careful. It means they can be hired for anything, including trafficking, r.a.p.e, and even murder!”

A contractor for extortion and kidnapping? These words struck a chord with Jackson. He immediately circled to the front of the man again and looked him up and down. His face was swollen but he suddenly realized why he sensed some familiarity. Pulling out his phone, he began to compare a photo that Emerson had gotten from Avaleigh of her father. Although it was an old photo and the man in front of him had lost a lot of weight and aged a fair bit, it was clear that they were the same person.

Halia looked over Jackson's shoulder curiously and gasped, ”Isn't that him? But younger?”

Jackson put down his phone and nodded his head, ”Herman Song...”

Herman lifted his head in surprise when he heard his name. How did these people know his name all of a sudden? It couldn't have been because of his tattoo...he wasn't the only person with a tattoo like that...

”How do you know my name?” he grumbled as he narrowed his eyes.

”Someone actually sent me to look for you. What a coincidence!” Jackson replied as he showed Herman the photo he had.

Fear immediately appeared on the man's face, ”Why do you have a photo of me and my daughter?”

”Your daughter's been worried about you...” Jackson said.

Before he finished what he wanted to say, Herman suddenly blurted, ”Are you still following my daughter? Leave her alone! I already told your boss that this was my last job. After this, I'll get out of his way.”

Jackson furrowed his brows with confusion. What was this man talking about? ”Has someone been threatening you?” he asked.

Herman saw the confusion on the man's face, ”Didn't Ewan send you?”

”A friend of your daughter's sent me...” Jackson replied with slight curiosity in his eyes. Who was this Ewan? Why did Herman look so scared?

”Ava?” the man's eyes softened. ”Why did my daughter's friend send you?”

”An extradition request is currently being processed for you. You are wanted for a murder in Hong Kong. Your daughter's been worried about you. The victim was Korean so your extradition may be refused and you will be eventually arrested and tried here in Korea. Murder in Korea could give you the death sentence...” Jackson explained. ”I suggest you hand yourself over to the Hong Kong authorities before Korea gets involved.”

Everyone in the room fell silent as they listened to the conversation between Jackson and Herman. ”Is he the man that you came to Korea to look for?” Sean asked in surprise.
