Tae Yun saw Hwan, coming out of that garage. He was already there with police. Hwan casually walked to them. And made hold the full of bag to Tae Yun's friend. And patted his shoulder,"Good job boy. Your snakes are so cool."
That boy blushed. A chewing gum was in Hwan's mouth.
His eyes went on others. He hummed. And said,"Oh! Officer, Man sik and Sunjae. Nice to meet you again." He chuckled ruzzled Sunjae's hair,"I wonder Tae, how they got in the criminal brunch." he pulled his hands back, stuffed in pocket. Tae Yun chuckled,"They're dedicated."
Hwan smirked mockingly,"That's right." He again wore the sunglasses,"Sunjae and Mansik. Report the deaths proper. Hmm? They died from snakes." He patted Mansik's cheeks firmly.
"Let's go Tae. We have to go to court."

THE PALACE OF LUST
chap 23
________________________
"My Lord, these prostitutes are very clever. They know, how to twist rich men's head." Usual, Mr. Lee's toxic sentences echoed the courtroom.
The Judge yawned,"Mr.Lee, move to something else. Please, we're not here for your mentality." he said lazily.
Tae Yun narrowed his eyes as he listened to Mr. Lee. However, Mr. Lee went on,"This case is useless. If they knew they can't repay those debt... Then don't take. Who told you to sell your body."
Hyeona sighed,"Mr. Lee, please say something which can defend your client..."
Mr. Lee gave her a look, and rolled his eyes,"Those prostitute is murderers. They're killer. They killed my client's mentally ill brother." Suddenly Mr. Lee dropped this. Including Hyeona, everyone who were in that room was shocked.
Hwan raised his eyebrows in amusement,
"Camel itself came under the hills."
Mr. Lee turned on the projector after taking permission of judge. Everyone shivered in disgust when the photo of Dae Seong's brother's dead body.
"As you can see. How brutally that person ripped his neck vein. They need freedom? We can't get these animals free." Mr. Lee threw the accusations. He looked at Hwan who was sitting on the last row.
"And That person is that boy, Hwan."
Tae Yun looked at Hwan. He was thinking Hwan will oppose it. But with a calm manner Hwan stood up. He walked to the guilty stand? While dragging a chair with him.
He lazily lift the chair. And placed on that stand. Without bothering about Judge's permission. He sat on that chair,"Now you can continue what you're prepared for today."
Hyeona opened her mouth to say something but Hwan stopped her by showing her palms. The Judge and Mr. Lee both of them swallowed.
"Just this much?" He leaned forward. His eyes sharpen.
"This much! You killed him. You're a bloody killer. You should be in jail!" Mr. Lee barked. Dae Seong smirked as he saw the scene.
Hwan stood up. And ripped his shirt without hesitation, everyone's eyes widened some one then gasped. Hwan leaned,"Do you see these scars..... " With a low dark voice. His stomach had a long scar. Tae Yun was known to it. But this time Hwan so it openly,"I don't think, I need explain this..." He opened his let shoe. And threw it harshly to Mr. Lee. His head snapped a side as the shoe hit his cheeks,"You bitch!"
"ORDER! ORDER! IT'S A COURTROOM!"
Hwan didn't even flinched. He lift his bare feet. His ankle wasn't like normal person. His feet wasn't straight,"Can You see it?! Now tell me! Who is killer?! Who is animals." He roared like a animal.
Judge swallowed. But he tried to kept his face straight. Hyeona looked at him with sadness and stunned expression.
"What happened, judge? Words stucked in your throat?" He slowly sat on the chair.
Tae Yun abruptly stood up and ran to him. Covered Hwan's body with bis coat. And Hwan let him.
He pressed his palm against his chest to hold the coat,"Miss Choi. Reveal the files."
Soon a bundle of files reached to Judge's table. Hyeona said,"There's total 300 files. And only 50 is eligible for public."
"I want to say someone for the last time."
A female voice came from the back row. Everyone turned their face. Dae Seong's face turned pale. As he saw the person.
It was Hana.
"May I?" Hana asked to Judge who himself was not in state for saying anything. Just nodded. She clenched her fists. She stood on the witness stand.
Mr. Lee already looked another way as he knew what was going to happen. Dae Seong plead silently but no one even glance it.
Tae Yun already pulled Hwan in his embrace covering him possessively. Hwan's expression kept straight.
"I am Hana. Dae Seong's legally wife. I have endure so much." She paused as her voice cracked,"Emotional and mental torture."
Tears rolled down from her eyes,"He always put a mask. But behind that. He is a monster."
She looked at Hwan,"That night. His brother who was a autistic. Raped him brutally."
This time Hwan flinched and looked down. Tae Yun tightened his hold. She continued,"He and his cousins literally leofited from those brothels.."
Her words hanged in the air. She continued,"He killed my daughter. He even tried to kill his son by assassins. Ans his son is..... Kyung."
Everyone gasped. Started to whisper. Even Judge's eyes widened. He cursed mentally.
"Do you need more proof?! Do you want to listen for brutal things? Tell me?!" She almost snapped at the Judge with chair.
Judge swallowed. He looked down. Everyone waited for his words. He looked up then. And said,"For attempt murder, rapes and illegal business and many things like this. Han Dae Seong sentence for life."
A smile appeared on Hyena's lips. They won.
Tae Yun smiled and squeezed Hwan's shoulder. Hana smiled too.
Hana won.
Hyeona won.
Tae Yun won.
Kyung won.
Every sex workers won in one thing.
And most satisfying for Hwan. Who won. And got justice.
But Hwan suddenly spoke up,"But still we are not having rights, isn't judge?"
Judge paused. He looked down in guilty and shook his head,"Not for now, Hwan. But soon."
Hwan looked down,"Let's go Tae Yun."
Where everyone already beaming in happiness. Something inside Hwan wasn't satisfied.

Kyung opened his eyes slowly. Found himself still in that ahjumma's room. He discovered himself surrounded by everyone.
He saw Hana was sitting next to his form and Hwan was sitting on a chair. And Tae Yun was standing besides him.
He slowly sat up,"How you saved me, Hwan?"
He chuckled,"In my way."
Hana's expression softened,"You are fine?" with a soft voice.
Kyung's breath hitched,"Yeah... Mrs. Han."
"Uh-uh." Hana smiled,"Mom. Call me mom. I'm not your biological mother. But still I can be your mother.... Will you be my son?"
Kyung looked at her. Then at Hwan who smiled and gave him a assure nod.
Hana immediately pulled him a hug,"Leave all of those work, Kyung. Just spend time a bit with me..." Hana said. Kyung pulled from the hug and chuckled,"Then who will look after my works, Mom.."
"I can."
Kyung paused. And looked at Tae Yun,"I'm serious, Bastard."
"I'm serious, Dick head."
Including Hwan, they all paused. Tae Yun kept his expression firm,"Can I.."
Kyung looked down. He remembered his and Tae Yun's past conversation.
"I can do anything for him." Tae Yun said as he looked at the floor. They were still at that court corridor.
Kyung raised his eyebrows,"Is that so?"
Tae Yun looked up,"Can I ask for something?"
Kyung frowned but nodded. Tae Yun sighed and started to speak,"Will you give me powers when I will need him for Hwan."
Kyung blinked few times,"Serious?"
Tae Yun nodded.
Kyung remembered that conversation. He knew Tae Yun's mind. He looked down for some seconds. But nodded with a smile.
The new Gangster leader was Tae Yun now.
