Chapter 838: A Gift For Me?
They exchanged uneasy gazes.
June instantly knew that they weren’t clueless about it.
Well, it seemed like the people they were ‘entertaining’ also knew something about the ‘deal,’ so June already had a hunch.
Hyuck scratched the back of his head, already feeling indebted to June.
“Well, we don’t know the full details,” he started off. “However, they did talk about it before you guys arrived.”
“Mr. Kim was also here a while ago, so they briefed him about it,” he continued.
Scar nodded. “It seems like Dan is planning on acquiring a new property in one neighborhood in Seoul. It’s quite a large property, so I believe he wants Mr. Kim’s help in securing it.”
“Hmm,” June hummed, placing his hand under his chin.
Since Azure had already opened their cafe business, it made sense for them to think about expanding the company, too.
It was the obvious choice.
Lei was really going to take Azure to the top.
However, he wasn’t afraid to sacrifice June to get there. Involving Dan was already enough proof of it.
“Do you know where this is?” June asked.
Hail looked at the table and exclaimed. “A-ha! They left the folder here,” she chuckled, pointing to the folder under the table.
June shook his head in amusement as he retrieved the folder.
“Can you look out for them?” he asked.
Hyuck held out an ‘okay’ sign. “Of course, bro. You’ve got our backs.”
“I’ll stay by the door,” Hail said, standing from her seat.
June smiled gratefully. With that, he opened the folder, his smile slowly falling.
“This…,” he muttered.
Oh, life was truly ridiculous.
“Who knew she’d have this big of a property?”
June was staring at a familiar landscape-a very familiar one.
His past apartment.
His monster landlady who charged rent like she didn’t have money the next day was actually the owner of all the vacant lots surrounding them?
“4,500 square meters,” June muttered.
It was just enough for a new building for Azure. Moreover, since June left, the neighborhood has slowly transformed to become a business district, and in a few years’ time, he was sure that it was also going to be a popular street.
He looked at the prize and was surprised by how affordable it was.
“I heard that it’s an exclusive selling,” Scar chimed. “Not a lot of people know about it since the owner still hasn’t decided properly.”
“However, with the proper prize, I believe they would let it go,” she continued.
June nodded, finally understanding what his role was in this play.
Lei was hitting two birds with one stone.
If Dan manages to ‘sell’ June to Mr. Kim, then they would secure the investment.
Then, in the end, June’s name will also be tarnished as Dan would make sure to protect Mr. Kim’s name.
They weren’t afraid to throw him under the bus when the time came.
June shook his head in amusement.
So, he had to stop this deal at all costs.
With that, he’ll also be hitting two birds with one stone.
Not only will he delay Lei’s plan of conquering the entertainment industry, but he’ll also save
the important documents that were hidden under its foundation.
June turned to the four trainees with urgency.
They looked at June with curiosity.
“I need your help,” June started off.
Just then, Hail looked back at them with a worried expression.
“They’re coming back,” she exclaimed.
“Shit,” June cursed under his breath.

The doors opened, and the scent of smoke wafted through their senses.
June was still in his original spot, his eyes closing out of tiredness.
Dan hid his smirk as he saw his disposition.
“It’s working,” he muttered.
“Scar, sit here,” one of the old men said, patting his lap.
Scar pursed her lips and walked to where he was, promising that this would be the last time she would be holding onto such desperate measures.
“How are you?” Dan asked June.
June held onto his temples, already internally cursing. “My head hurts,” he said in a
distressed voice.
Dan looked at him with concern. “Really?” he exclaimed. “Here! Have some water. I also have
a pain reliever here if you want.”
With that, Dan handed June one of the pills that was in his compartment a while ago.
“Thanks,” June said, taking the water and the pill before drinking it.
Dan smiled. “It will work in a couple of minutes. Mr. Kim is coming in soon. After saying a few
greetings, I’ll assure you that we’re heading back.”
June nodded and leaned against the couch, closing his eyes once more.
With that, Dan went back to conversing with his ugly friends.
Then, June slightly opened his eyes before slipping the pill into Dan’s drink. He also slipped
some more of the pill, having retrieved it from his car’s compartment a while ago.
The action was so quick that nobody in the room had noticed. Then, he closed his eyes once
again.
Hyuck and the others turned to each other with concern.
They barely had enough time to talk about June’s plan a while ago, so they were feeling
anxious.
Meanwhile, Dan and his colleagues knowingly looked at each other as June groaned in his
sleep.
“Oh no,” Dan said in fake concern. “We really need to head out soon.”
“Don’t worry,” an old man chimed. “Mr. Kim is already heading back.”
June’s eyes remained closed throughout their conversation.
However, he was forced to open them when the door opened.
“Mr. Kim!” Dan exclaimed.
June pursed his lips and slightly opened his eyes to get a look at the man who was going to
‘own’ him for the night.
Then, his eyebrows instantly furrowed in disgust.
The guy could be his grandfather!
He was wearing a suit, and his hairline was as deep as the Marianas Trench. Moreover, he filled the room with a rotten scent that was occluded by Tobacco-smelling perfume. He was an unpleasant sight, so June quickly closed his eyes.
“Dan! It’s been such a long time since we’ve seen each other,” Mr. Kim started off.
Then, silence reigned in the room for a couple of seconds before June felt someone’s rough
hand pass through his cheeks.
He felt a shiver run down his spine, and he tightly closed his eyes to hide his disgust.
“What a wonderful gift I have!”
