Money Loving CEO's Detective Lover

Chapter 379: Last Mission (4)

Junho stormed into Mina's ward where Anyal was sitting next to Mina. She looked up when her father entered and was surprised to see him in such rage.

"Dad-" she began but Junho grabbed Anyal by the collar and slammed him against the wall.

"You!" Junho barked. "How dare you show your face here?"

"Dad!" Mina exclaimed, trying to separate her father from Anyal. "Dad, it's Kanji! What are you doing?"

"Stay out of this, Mina!" he yelled at her. He was so angry that he felt like ripping the demon into shreds. If he was not possessing Kanji's body, Junho would have thrown the demon into hell himself but the thought of Jason's family was holding him back.

"Uncle, I know I wronged Mina!" Anyal claimed. "But I want our relationship to get another chance-"

"SHUT IT!" Junho growled. "STAY AWAY FROM HER!"

"Dad, please just let him go!" Mina begged. "This is the hospital!"

"Mina, you don't understand-"

He wanted to tell her that the man she was waiting for was dead but he could not bring himself to say it. Mina would be crushed if she found out about Kanji's death and it was the last thing they wanted. 

Jina came scurrying after her grandfather and her eyes fell on the fake Kanji who had appeared. Her mouth fell in shock.

"W-what?" she stammered. 

Anyal also glanced at the little girl, the one he had been targeting for a long time. Junho blocked the way but there was no denying it. The girl possessed a mixture of powers which made her more powerful than an average Seer or Transporter. She was still young but with time, she would harness a power which could break the barriers between all dimensions. He felt the raw and potent energy lurking within her and his hands were itching to possess her.

Jina stood there, stunned by the thing she was seeing. Her mother was right. Seers could only sense a possession when there were two spirits residing in a body. Standing in front of her was Kanji, who was seemingly alive and well. She could not sense any lingering spirit nor see any pale figure possessing him.

But there was an aura which emitted from the demon which was suffocating her. She held her breath, her heart pounding in fear. The man might have the face of Kanji but it was not Kanji. The way he was looking at her, it felt as if he would take her away forever. She wanted to run away but the sheer presence of the demon prevented her from doing so. Junho was still holding him against the wall but Jina knew that if the demon wanted, he could have easily flicked the old man aside and destroyed the entire hospital in seconds.

She felt a strong pair of hands grab her from behind and pull her away. Startled, she looked up to see Haejong or rather, Kanji in Haejong's body, was dragging her away. Mina was begging her father to stop hurting 'Kanji' and listening to his daughter's pleas, he let go of the demon.

"Don't you dare listen to him!" Junho warned his daughter. "He's not the man you think he is-"

"Dad, let me talk to him," Mina insisted. "Let's just hear what he wants to say. Please"

"I've changed, uncle!" Anyal butted in. "I love Mina and I want to be with her. I really do-"

Junho was about to hit him but Mina stopped him. Kanji stood behind them, shielding Jina. He glared at the demon who had dared to take over his body and was now trying to harm Mina.

"I've learnt my lesson," Anyal went on with his lies. "I really love Mina."

He turned to her and asked, "Don't you think that we've been through enough? I realized that I really am in love with you-"

"I think you should leave," Mina said clearly. Anyal raised his eyebrow while Kanji and Junho stared at her. Jina was still hiding behind Kanji, too scared to look at the demon.

"Mina, you said that you love me!" Anyal gritted. "And I love you too! Why-"

But Mina stood her ground. "Look, this is a hospital," she stressed. "We'll talk after I'm discharged. Please don't create a ruckus here especially when I'm a patient!"

Just then, Minho and Gayoon came storming in. Minho rushed towards his sister while Gayoon ran to Jina and in the process, brushed against Haejong's palm. She froze instantly and looked at the mafia lord.

"Uncle Kanji is in there," Jina whispered to her. 

"What?" Gayoon hissed. She did not not say anything else but was completely taken aback by the bizarre turn of events. What the hell?

She kept a firm grip on Jina while Minho addressed Kanji.

"Leave," he ordered. "If you know what's best for you."

Mina was slightly taken aback by the suppressed anger in Minho's tone. She assumed her father was mad because Kanji hurt her but Minho would never be that angry with his friend. He was putting all his resources to bail Kanji out even after the latter rejected her. Then why was he so harsh now?

"Minho, we're friends!" Anyal pleaded, hiding his true intentions. "Don't you want to give me one chance-"

"I'd rather die than call you my friend!" he spat. Next to Gayoon, Kanji shifted a little. He was itching to tell the truth but the presence of Mina was keeping him from doing that.

"Is this what our years of friendship have accumulated?" Anyal taunted him. "You're abandoning your best friend? I've supported you all this time! My family raised you and your sister. And now, you'll not let me be with your sister? You're a cruel friend!"

He was enjoying the angst on Minho's face and the demon loved torturing his prey. Hwang Minho was pained upon seeing his best friend's body being used by Anyal and tormented by the sight. It gave him great pleasure to hold these people in his sadistic death trap. Minho was about to punch Anyal for using Kanji as leverage against him when a voice stopped him.

"Friendship?"

Everyone turned to look at 'Haejong' who spoke up. Mina frowned while Minho was trying to hold in his anger with great difficulty.

"Friendship isn't about asking for records of what you did for each other," Haejong said out loud. "It's not about support or giving money. You can get all of that from even a random beggar on the street. Friendship is"

He glanced at Minho with a complicated look. "Is to be happily able to give away all your wealth for that one person whom you consider more than a brother," he said. "When they do something as stupid as pick up a gun, you can punch him in the face to knock sense into him. And if they do it a million times, you'll punch them a million times. Yet, you won't hesitate to throw away your humanity to protect them. That is friendship, you asshole."
