Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Watching the man approach her, a dark look instantly appeared in Soohyun's eyes while she crossed her legs. Her lips curved to form a small smirk while she stared at the middle-aged man.

Standing before her, Hyungwon's eyes glared at her while he said, "Who are you? Why have you taken my daughter!? Where is she now!?"

"Sihyeon? Is it her that you want to talk about? Well, I did not want to take her in originally, but I was desperate," she voiced out, "There is simply one favour you need to do for me, and then, I promise you the protection of your daughter. After all, don't you need that against Ahn Jongdae?"

Soohyun raised one of her eyebrows and waited for the man's response.

The man fell down to his knees and stated, "I will be doing anything you need, but please let go my daughter. She is really precious to me."

"Hmm," she vocalised, "You really know how to be obedient when it comes to your daughter. But I want to make you suffer more. Due to you, many innocents are losing their lives. Don't you think you will need to suffer for that?"

Her words caused his eyes to widen, and raising his head, he looked at Soohyun. There was hint of shock in his eyes as well.

"What? Don't give me that look. Because of you, many from the Red Clan are dying, and don't you think that you have to take the responsibility for that?" Soohyun voiced out.

"Y-You are from the Red Clan?" he questioned.

"That doesn't matter, Shin Hyungwon. For all the lives that have been lost, you need to suffer, and the best way to do that is through your daughter. I wonder what type of expression will be sitting on your face when that little girl will be crying for help and me to stop," she voiced out as a sadistic glint appeared in his eyes.

Those words of Soohyun was something he found himself believing, and a shiver went down his spine. He could not believe that the Red Clan had found out that he was behind creating that drug.

"How did you know?" he questioned while his body visibly trembled.

While mock showed in Soohyun's eyes, she questioned, "Does that actually matter in this moment?"

Shaking his head fervently, he vocalised, "Of course it doesn't. I am the one who committed the crime, so punish me, and not my daughter please."

"It's really funny to see how you care about your daughter. I thought a murderer like you will be more cold-hearted," she voiced out, "Have you ever wondered about how those families might have felt when your drug was responsible for killing their family members?"

Guilt stung Shin Hyungwon after hearing those words from Soohyun, and he understood about his mistake. This was most definitely his karma for trying to make such a drug. 

Not only the credit for his drug was taken by someone else, now he was at the risk of losing his daughter due to that. He really regretted his decision and desperately wanted to reverse the situation.

"I am sorry. I am really sorry. I have done all the wrong. But please don't punish my daughter for it. She is innocent. Please don't harm her. Do anything to me as you please. I will not be objecting against it, but please leave my daughter alone," he said while kowtowing in front of her multiple number of times.

"Oh! What's the fun is harming you? I would like to see you slowly get destroyed as I harm the most precious things to you. After your daughter, should I move on to your parents? I have heard the praises on how filial you could be," she spoke out.

Those words of hers caused his pupils to dilahe further, and he spoke out, "No, no, no, not my parents. They are old, and they don't deserve this. This is all of my fault, and please, don't inflict any harm upon them. In return of that, I am willing to do anything."

"Anything?" she raised one of her eyebrows as a chuckle left her mouth.

Nodding his head, he said, "Whatever you want me to do, I can do it. Just let go of my daughter, and leave my parents out of this. I will pledge my loyalty to you, and do whatever you want to do."

"Hmm, that offer sounds interesting," she spoke out, "Unfortunately, I do not take useless things to be beside me. In order to give yourself up for them, you need to prove your worth to me. Otherwise, forget about your daughter and parents being alive."

"I can prove my worth to you. I can do it whatever you want me to do. You can test me to see that," he spoke out.

"Alright then, there is only one thing I would want you to do," she said, "Create an antidote against the poison you have made. Only if you succeed in doing so will you be allowed to free your daughter."

"Create an antidote against the drug?" he questioned.

"What? Are you unconfident about your abilities? Then, I think I will just have to take the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e from torturing those beside you," she vocalised, "If I am unable to save those close to me, why should I give those close to you the opportunity to survive?"

He instantly shook his head and voiced out, "No problem. I can create the antidote within two days. I know how to make it, and it is not difficult. It's just that it is little hard to obtain some of the materials."

Wearing a smiling expression, Soohyun said, "I am hoping for a successful cooperation between the two of us. I absolutely do not tolerate betrayal though."

"No, no, no, as long as you keep my daughter safe, I would not dare to think of betraying you."

"That's good to hear. You can meet up with your daughter tomorrow, and now, follow me to a place."
