Chapter 344 - Halias Condition (1/2)

Jackson ran out of the warehouse with Halia in his arms. She had been unwell since they were on the plane that morning so he began to worry. Was she sick? Was it something serious? Or was she hurt during the fight with Eagle?

As he exited, he spotted a familiar figure waiting for them inside a car. Although he was tempted for a moment to run away with the money that Eagle gave him, Herman Song thought about all the trouble he had caused and decided to stick by what he had promised and wait outside.

”Mr. Song, you have made the right choice,” Jackson said briefly as he walked past.

”I hope so,” Herman replied as he watched Jackson carry Halia into his car. ”Is something wrong with Mrs. Wu?”

A moment later, Kwon approached the two men and said, ”I will take Eagle and his assistant straight to the Interpol office. With so many witnesses and evidence, they won't be able to deny their crimes even if they have any other insiders. Mr. Song, you can come with me. You are vital in apprehending them.”

Even though he was confused, Herman nodded his head and followed Kwon to his car.

As soon as Kwon started the car, Herman asked, ”Is something wrong with Mrs. Wu? Did she get hurt?”

Kwon shrugged, ”We're not sure yet. Jackson is taking her to the hospital to check.”

Herman frowned and turned around to look at Jackson's car worriedly. If they were really to become family like Jackson said, then Halia was family too. Kwon looked at the man and smiled. This man actually had a heart.

”Why did you turn back to crime when you were released? You don't seem all that bad. Wasn't 6 years in prison enough of a lesson for you?” he couldn't help but ask.

Herman sighed turned back to the front and replied, ”I had no other means for survival. It's all I've ever done and it's the only thing I know how to do. Plus, with my history, who would hire an ex-convict?”

Kwon glanced at the man. He could tell he wasn't a completely bad guy, he simply thought he had no choice. Kwon once felt the same way and he had met many people that felt that way too, but he knew now that there was definitely a choice.

”When you get released from prison this time, come look for me at the 'Second Life Bar' in Itaewon. I will find you a job and help you get back on your feet,” Kwon offered.

Herman turned his head and looked at the man in surprise. As he looked at him in detail, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

”Have we met before? Why are you helping me?” Herman asked.

Kwon focused on the road in front of him and smiled, ”We met briefly about 7-8 years ago...”

Herman thought carefully and scanned his eyes across the man with curiosity. That was when he noticed there was a tattoo wrapped around his wrist.
