THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 31 – 40
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 37
However, after a few steps to the bed, the assassins couldn’t move forward anymore. It felt like there was an invisible wall separating them from reaching the bed.
At that moment, the leader yelled, “It’s a trap!”
But before any of them could run, the door was pushed open, accompanied by the sound of gunshots.
The leader and his men weren’t given time to react before they were all gunned down… Except the leader who was struggling to breathe from the numerous bullet wounds.
Hwang Min entered the room after the chaos had died down. Seeing him, the leader widened his eyes in shock and looked back to see the same man sleeping on the chair behind him.
Wh–what was happening?!
Hwang Min brought out a remote and pressed one of the two buttons and the room changed. It was a sitting room with couches!!
“Wh–” the leader couldn’t believe this. Illusion! This man has mastered the visual world behind Miss Nancy’s back! How?!!
“Nancy is indeed capable, but too bad, she’s always a step behind.” Hwang Min said coldly.
The leader was stunned. He is one of Nancy’s most trusted men. He’s in the same category as Death, and Nightcrawler. They know every secret there is to know about their Miss. Just that he is hidden away from the public’s eyes as he’s the leader of Nancy’s shadow guards.
Mr. Hwang wasn’t supposed to know of his existence, so how did he– unless…
The guy’s eyes snapped open at his realization. He wanted to speak, to inform his Boss about his discovery, but he couldn’t move.
“You see, your Miss will be joining you soon enough. Prepare a place for her in hell.” He took a gun from Venom and shot the guy a couple of times in the face to release his pent-up anger.
After wasting all the bullets, he threw the gun aside and ordered, “Send him to the Hwang residence.”

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 31 – 40
The three members of the Hwang family could be seen eating breakfast the next morning. One tradition the family practices to its fullest is eating breakfast together.
Like always, Brian was minding his business as he slowly chewed his food, trying not to make a sound that would irritate him further. The young man was extremely angry and was an inch away from blowing up.
Nancy, who never cares about reading the atmosphere, decided to ruin everyone’s mood again. “I was told you humiliated your date yesterday, ” She said passively.
“Her character is ugly,” Brian responded without care, but was trying to hold back his anger.
“If such a lovely girl has an ‘ugly’ character according to you, then Piper’s character is a monster,” She concluded.
“I like monsters… they remind me of you.” Brian raised his gaze from his food and fixed them on his nonchalant mother.
“That’s a great compliment.” She turned her head to look at Hwang Min, “You taught your son well, I’m impressed.” She started eating quietly again.
Brian rolled his eyes and also resumed eating. A long while later, he asked his father, “Have you found my Friend?”
“Hm… she was attacked last night but good thing she’s safe,” he said while staring daggers at Nancy.
Brian also turned to look at his mother. Seeing how unconcerned she was, the young man’s anger flared up and he slammed his palm on the table, “Mother!!!” he roared.
Nancy looked up at him with a brow raised.
“Are you still human?!”
“Ain’t I a monster anymore? What business does a monster have being a human?” she snorted and continued eating.
“Most times, I wish you were not my mother!”
Hearing that, Nancy’s hand froze in mid–air. She looked at her son’s fuming face before her lips curled into a mocking smile, “But unfortunately, I’m your mother, so, what can you do about it?”
Brian gritted his teeth as his hold on his cutlery tightened. Yes, what can he do about it? Nothing! He thought.
Not getting an answer for so long, Nancy snorted, “I thought as much. Deal with it…” she patted her lips with a serviette and got up. A maid immediately stepped forward and pulled the chair back for her to leave.

After taking a few steps forward, Nancy paused and looked back at Brian, then said; “I gave you a chance to protect Piper, but you blew it. Don’t blame me for my next action–”
Brian bolted up from his seat with fiery eyes and roared, “If you lay a finger on Piper…! I promise, I’ll leave you childless…” he said the words with little resistance because the images of Pink and Jeslyn flickered past his mind. He didn’t want to die and leave those two.
“Nancy Rong!” Hwang Min got up from his seat, “Don’t you think you’ve done enough?”
Nancy looked from her son to his father and suddenly chuckled before she burst out laughing like a lunatic. Then in the next second, she stopped and narrowed her eyes saying, “The pleasure is mine…” She looked condescendingly at the father and son before she walked away.
Hwang Min furrowed his brow and as for Brian, he was shocked for a moment before he dialed Piper’s number but realized he couldn’t make calls.
Alarmed, he called out, “Dad, something’s wrong, I can’t make calls!” he panicked.
“What do you mean?” Hwang Min frowned.
“Dad, I can’t make calls!! See, I can’t -–”
“Take it easy, calm down, it must be your network…” the father took his phone, there was a network signal, so he dialed someone’s number but the call ended abruptly. He tried again and got the same reaction.
“That witch!” he left the table and hurried after Nancy.
Seeing this, Brian also followed.

At the parking lot, Nancy was seen by her car, looking at the dead bodies that were lying around. She chuckled, “Hwang Min, the war has just begun.”
At that moment, she spotted Hwang Min and Brian hurrying over. She entered her car and ordered the chauffeur to move.
Alex has to die before she talks to Hwang Min about her children. That was the thought running through her mind as she looked out of the car window.
Hwang Min and Brian also got into one car and started chasing Nancy’s car. The man was convinced that Nancy was up to no good and his instinct told him not to ignore this.

*Meanwhile, at the capital…*
The incessant clicking sound of the keyboard could be heard in the large sitting room.
Jeslyn was seen pacing back and forth while chewing on her nails with a worried look on her face as she sometimes stopped to ask Rex about the process of his work.
Yellow also looked distraught as she stood behind Rex whose fingers were flying across his laptop with a dead serious look on his face.
“Brother-in-law, have you found anything?” Jeslyn asked for the umpteenth time.
“Jeslyn, keep calm, I’m sure the City is experiencing a glitch or something.” Yellow tried to calm her down even though she knew it was a lie.
“No, I haven’t been able to talk to my Mom since yesterday. Also, everything happening is just too weird that I cannot see this as a coincidence… The other day, Piper was attacked by some unknown men when she went shopping with Kim. That same day, Brian resigned from the company without prior notice. Then at midnight, SIN City’s network suddenly went bad. It’s been almost 10 hours, yet the network isn’t back and no media has covered that… Big sister, I can feel it, something is wrong!”
Yellow sighed helplessly. She also knew something was wrong because she and Pink spoke when Hwang Min was with her. Then a few hours later, she called Pink again, but she didn’t answer until now.
“Got it!” Rex yelled, drawing Jeslyn and Yellow’s attention.
They rushed to watch the screen, and a short clip of Pink entering and leaving Delight Hotel entered their sight. Another clip showed Brian going in and out, then one where Hwang Min went in too. That was all he could find.
“Why are they in clips? I thought you hacked the hotel’s CCTV. Jeslyn frowned.
“The footage was destroyed. I could only snatch this from the Dark Age organization’s database. The videos were saved in clips for some reason I don’t know. If my brother were here, he would have been able to–” he froze and slowly turned to look behind him, like he thought, Jeslyn looked gloomy.
“Don’t be like that, he’s fine and–”
“I’m going to SIN City. Get me in.” Jeslyn cut him off.
“What?!”
“Little bunny?!”
“You heard me. I’m going to SIN CITY!” She grew angry.
“But… How do you intend to go there? The CITY is not easy to enter. I got a report that the airports, ports and even roads are closed…” Rex disagreed.
“You got such a report and you didn’t tell me?! My mother is still in the f*king City!!” She yelled.
“No, that’s not…” Rex sighed and stood up. Holding the anxious–looking Jeslyn by the shoulders. He helped her to a couch before squatting in front of her.
“I got the report when I hacked into the city’s CCTV. I thought I would tell you after I’m done. I’m sorry,” he apologized.
Jeslyn took a deep breath and closed her eyes, “is there no way to go in at all?”
“There’s only one way, but I can’t do anything now that the City’s communication network is cut off.”
Jeslyn’s eyes snapped open, and she quickly held Rex’s hand, “Please tell me…”
“Ma’am Jeslyn, your Manager is on the phone.” Jeslyn’s new assistant hurried in from the front door.
Jeslyn took the phone from her and listened to what her manager was saying.
“Jeslyn, a car company from SIN CITY, sent some representatives to make a deal with us. I intend to turn them down because –”
Rex grabbed the phone from her and asked, “You said they sent some people here?”
Manager Kate was startled for a moment before she answered, “Yes… they arrived two hours ago and are taking a rest at a hotel.”
Rex’s eyes rested on Jeslyn for a long time before he concluded, “She’s interested. Sign the deal with them.”
“Boss?” Manager Kate was stunned. “Jeslyn’s schedule is jam-packed and–”
“Clear out her schedule. This deal is more important.” He sounded authoritative, letting Manager Kate feel the importance of this deal.
“OK, Boss!” She disconnected the call.
Rex returned the phone to Jeslyn’s assistant and watched her go outside before he said, “This is the only way.”
“I don’t understand,” neither Jeslyn nor yellow grabbed what Rex meant.
“Outsiders cannot enter or leave the City, but it’s different for the indigenes with strong backings. For those representatives to make it out means that they hold a substantial amount of power. Also, going with them to SIN CITY is better because they’d do everything to make sure your safety is guaranteed. After all, they know who you are.”
“I’ll go with you,” Yellow proclaimed, but Rex shook his head, “stay and look after the family. I’ll go with her.”
“But–”
“Don’t dispute it.” Rex shot her a glare.

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 31 – 40
Standing before a burning building were Hwang Min and Brian. The man looked shocked as he watched the raging flames.
Guards ran up and down, trying to quench the fire, but the more they poured water, the fiercer the fire.
“D–Dad, don’t t–tell me…” Brian’s lips shook with uncontrollable feelings.
“Yes, she was in there. I’m sorry, I couldn’t…” The man stopped talking when his son gave him a dead stare with tears gathered in them.
Hwang Min balled his fist. That was a look of disappointment. He watched as his son turned around and left before the man swayed and held his head as his eyes felt dizzy. In no time, he threw up blood and passed out.
The oblivious Brian was seen racing across the city like he was being chased by death. Sometime later, he stopped at a massive company.
He opened his compartment and pulled out a gun before he got out of the car and headed into the company.
The guards stopped him by the door, but when they saw the token that was stuck to his chest, they made way and bowed.
“Young Master!”
Brian ignored everyone and continued walking. He moved past the receptionist and walked straight to the CEO’s elevator. No one stopped him because of the token. Instead, they were shocked and put on their respectful behavior.
