Right after Lee Joon was next to the lying woman with his hands on the drip, Lee Joon felt like he had met her and as Lee Joon stared at the woman's face, immediately Lee Joon's head returned in pain and almost made Lee Joon lost his balance.an anxious Mr. Lim directly held Lee Joon's shoulder so as not to fall.
“I.. I'm fine,” Lee Joon told Lim.
Hearing Lee Joon's words, Lim then took his hand off Lee Joon's shoulder and said to Lee Joon.
“Do you feel familiar with this woman?” ask Mr. Lim to Lee Joon while giving Lee Joon a gun.
“Iya .. I think I know who she is, she was the woman I had in my memory back then, the woman who pointed her gun at me, who you said she had saved me, she said, and this?” said Lee Joon with a surprised face while staring at the gun given by Mr. Lim.
“Yes, it was the gun that he aimed at you master, he and that gun that had saved master the time of the tragedy.
As she chatted, the woman lying on the drip suddenly opened her unbandaged eyes and woke up slowly. Seeing the gun in Lee Joon's hand, the woman spontaneously wanted to hit Lee Joon but still had time to be detained by Mr. Lim.
“Calm down, he is the boss's son!” lim said to the woman.
Hearing Mr Lim's words, the woman calmed down and stood looking at Lee Joon. Lee Joon who was shocked because he was about to be attacked just now was just stunned to see the woman.
They looked at each other and slowly the woman's hand went up to Lee Joon's face, the woman held Lee Joon's chin and said tearfully to Lee Joon.
“This is true you ... This is true you young master, hick ..” said the woman and cried haru in front of Lee Joon.
Lee Joon just silently watched and heard the cry of the woman, he did not know what to do, and Lee Joon unconsciously said to the woman.
“What ... is it true that you saved me?” lee Joon asked with a troubled face and pity to see the woman.
Seeing and hearing Lee Joon and the woman in front of him, Mr. Lim also could not hold back his tears, Mr. Lim shed his tears without making a sound.
20 Minutes later ....
“You've grown so much like this, I'm sure the boss will be thrilled to see his handsome and dashing son like you young master,” the woman told Lee Joon.
“Thanks ... for saving me, but I don't know much about you, because my memory has not fully recovered,” Lee Joon said.
“What sir Lim didn't tell you?” said the woman.
“I'm sorry, I actually wanted to explain it to the young master when we met, but back then the young master was suddenly in pain because of his memory, so I didn't have time to tell you young master, young master,” connect lim sir.
“Says what? what do you mean Mr Lim?” said Lee Joon who was curious.
“Actually me and Mr. Lim are the boss's confidants closest to him, you could say Mr. Lim is the boss's right hand, and I am his left hand,”.
“Ah .. so that means you guys are really the closest dad. But I don't know your name, can you tell me what your name is?” lee Joon concluded to the woman lying down.
“Young master can call me with Kang's mother,” replied Kang's mother.
“Alright Kang's mother, I will definitely repay your kindness for saving me,” Lee Joon said.
“Young master doesn't need to say that, because it's already my duty as one of the boss's confidants, and it's only natural that I do that because the young master is the son of the one who saved my life,” Kang's mother told Lee Joon.
After a long time of telling stories and making small talk, Lim finally opened his voice and wanted to ask about how Lee Joon looked now, whether he had chosen this path or just an obsession.
“Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we're not going to discuss more important things,” said Mr Lim cutting off the conversation between Lee Joon and Ms. Kang.
Hearing Mr. Lim's words, Lee Joon and Kang's mother stopped talking and listened to Mr. Lim.
“I will just go straight on the points, first now we already have this successor to the throne and young master has also chosen the path I think, but that has not been enough to make us rise again because of the memories of the young master who has not returned completely. And secondly, our strength is not what it used to be when the young master's father took the lead, because we lost a lot of our main power in the tragedy of 10 years ago, and if we want to restore the name and honor of the Aqila Family like it used to be again, then we should start building up strength and connection again from the beginning,” said Mr. Lim explained the situation and condition of Aqila Family to Lee Joon.
“Pak Lim is right, we are not as strong and as big as we used to be because our strength and connections have been lost a lot since the tragedy, if we have to start all over again, I think it took quite a long time until we really respected the world as before,” continued Kang's mother responded to the words of Mr. Lim.
Lee Joon is just fixated and trying to find a way out of what is described by Mr. Lim. Lee Joon also said.
“So there are two problems now in Aqila Family, first is my memory, and second is our already weakened strength and connection. I have a plan for the second point, what if we seek power from the starting point of the Aqila Family itself, mr. Lim once said that Aqila Family is a mafia organization formed by my grandfather instead,”, Lee Joon told Ms. Kang and Mr. Lim.
“Jadi .. mean young master-“
“Yes, we will look for information and ask people who have been grandfather people, all of us ask for their advice to expand our connections and strength, he said, who knows they have connections with people or organizations that have been in contact with us Aqila Family,”, Lee Joon said.
“That's a good idea, but how do we know that the people who were in the first generation of Aqila Family are still alive, if anything, maybe now they are just grandfathers like in nursing homes,” said Mr Lim in response to Lee Joon's words.
“True Mr. Lim, but I think we should go to the place where the first Aqila Family was born,” Kang's mother continued.
“You mean we should go to the place where Aqila Family first formed?” said Lee Joon.
“Iya .. and it happens to be your mother's hometown young master, people call it by the name of the country with a thousand islands, Indonesia!” obviously Kang's mother.
Hearing that, Lee Joon is increasingly convinced by this choice, because he has chosen to avenge his father who has been used.
“But how we will get there, now our finances alone are not as they used to be because many of our businesses were taken over by the government after the tragedy,” said Mr Lim.
Lee Joon is reminded of a map containing documents and archives of Aqila Family funds that he found in his home the other day by accident.
“Wait a minute, if the problem is money, it seems I forgot to show you something that I really wanted to ask you from the beginning, try opening this map, please,” said Lee Joon to Kang's mother and Lim sir while giving the map to Mr. Lim.
Mr. Lim also opened the map and read some documents and archives in it, how surprised Mr. Lim after seeing all the documents and archives in the map.
“This! This is an archive and documents about the flow of funds and business of Aqila Family from the first generation to the present, I do not believe this, but it will be very helpful for us to awaken the Aqila Family,” says mr Lim.
“Isn't this a deposit of money in an overseas bank, and there are also contract files with the famous nightspots here, too, I can't believe it turns out that the connection and reach of Aqila Family business is very large, this must be a long-established connection and business,” continued Kang's mother.
“Young master, where did you get such important documents and files? even when the young master's father was still the leader of Aqila Family alone we never saw and took care of documents like this,” Lim asked Lee Joon.
“Aa .. how do I explain it yes, I found it in the warehouse in my house, there was a cat that accidentally hit an old closet and I found the map dropped from the top of the closet, yes ... there you go,” Lee Joon said.
“This is no coincidence or oddity, but how can the big secret of Aqila Family be at home young master,” said Mr Lim.
“But this is strange, almost all documents, archives, and files on this map are not written the name of the father of the young master at all, but written with the name of another person, Abdul Muttalib!” said Kang's mother.
“Abdul Muttalib?, who is he? is he the boss's in-law? but the boss never said his father-in-law's name to us though,” said Mr Lim.
“You mean it's grandpa? I don't know why but I'm sure it's my grandfather's name, considering my mother is Indonesian,” Lee Joon said.
“We have to make sure by ourselves, should we go to Indonesia?” concluded mr Lim.
“It seems like inevitably we have to go there, and who knows young master can meet the young master's mother,” continued Kang's mother.
“What? my mum? so my mom's alive?” asked Lee Joon who was surprised by Kang's mother's words.
“I don't know for sure, but at the time of the tragedy 10 years ago, the young master's mother was already hidden by the boss, the young master's father. But after that incident, we never again heard from the young master's mother, we don't know where the boss hid the young master's mother, he said, but we believe that the young master's mother is still alive somewhere in Indonesia even though she has stopped being a doctor,” Kang's mother told Lee Joon.
Hearing that his mother might still be alive somewhere in Indonesia, Lee Joon is very grateful and maybe meeting her mother can help restore her memory.
Lee Joon also established his heart to go to Indonesia and look for his mother who does not know where his father hid his mother. Even Lee Joon hopes that his mother is fine and remains in good health.
“Come to go to Indonesia!” lee Joon said with a serious face and a small smile.
1 Week later ... Thursday, 01 May 2025.
“I have not been here for a long time, the last time I was here at the time of the tragedy,” said Mr Lim.
“Down your voice, we are in his hometown of Aqila Family, what if someone listens to this conversation of ours, if it's former first generation people who listen to us no need to worry, but what if the one listening to it is the government's dog, you know for yourself here the law is like two blades,” said Kang's mother.
Suddenly they were approached by a black sedan car and some people came out and immediately grabbed Lee Joon's mouth and covered his head with a cloth and put him in the car. Kang's mother and Lim's father did not have time to save Lee Joon because they were confronted by people with firearms. They left Kang and Lim's mother with Lee Joon, whom they tied up in their car.
While Kang and Lim's mother immediately contacted their acquaintances who were there to ask for their help in finding their young master, Lee Joon.
“When we just got here, but there's been a new problem. Do you know who did this?” ask Mr. Lim to Kang's mother.
“I think I know who's behind this, do you remember before we got into the woods 10 years ago, the boss once spoke on his phone with a woman, and the boss told the woman on the phone to look after and take away the young master's mother,” Kang's mother told Lim.
“What do you mean is the black rose?” said Mr. Lim in response to Kang's mother's words
“True, the black rose .. that's his nickname in the underworld, because he's as elegant as a rose and dangerous because of the thorns of the rose itself, because, even he is the best poison master the Aqila Family has ever had,” Kang's mother said.
“Do you think he has betrayed us?” lim said to Kang's mother.
“Come on, but I know where to go if this is indeed the poison queen,”, Kang's mother replied, Mr. Lim.
Mr. Lim and Kang's mother went to a car and drove him to Lee Joon's position.
“Luckily we put a tracking device on the young master,” said Mr Lim who was driving.
“You should have said that you have a car, now what about the person who will pick us up,” Kang's mother told Lim.
“The problem is not so important, it is better to move yourself like this for now, I think our people here are already in complete control of the black rose because of the empty throne of the king in the Aqila Family,” replied Mr. Lim and accelerated the speed of their car.
They went to follow the car that kidnapped Lee Joon with a tracking device on Lee Joon's body as a guide.
10 Minutes later ....
Lee Joon arrived at a magnificent villa with a natural feel that is so natural. Lee Joon was taken down from the car and the people who kidnapped him removed the ties in Lee Joon's hands and opened the headgear and mouth coverings.
“Who are you?! let go of me!” lee Joon snapped at those people.
Appearing from behind the door of the magnificent villa was a beautiful woman with long hair unraveled and a glass of wine in her hand approached Lee Joon.
“As I expected, you are indeed the original heir to the throne, evidently because you survived the tragedy,” the beautiful woman told Lee Joon.
“Heir to the throne? a tragedy? who are you really?! why did you kidnap me? are you my father's enemy?” lee Joon asked with an annoyed face.
“Let's remember handsome sir, actually we are a family that has not met for a long time, did you forget or pretend to forget?” the woman replied Lee Joon.
“Family? what do you mean?” ask Lee Joon.
“You will know after we go inside, I suggest that you prepare a tissue, hey you guys .. quickly bring him inside, please,” said the woman ordered her people to take Lee Joon into the magnificent villa.
They took Lee Joon by force into the magnificent villa, Lee Joon was taken to the basement containing a row of wine bottle shelves, and in the corner of the room was a hospital bed, and there was a middle-aged woman lying on top of it with the help of an oxygen rope and an infusion in her hand.
Lee Joon was surprised to see the frail middle-aged woman, he slowly approached the middle-aged woman with a feeling of sadness and sadness in his heart. When Lee Joon was right next to the middle-aged woman, he did not realize since when his tears came out wetting his cheeks, Lee Joon's hands moved themselves stroking the face of the middle-aged woman, he said, and immediately in his voiceless cry Lee Joon suddenly felt pain in his head, he held his head and beat his own head nonstop. Seeing Lee Joon who began to lose control, the beautiful woman ordered her people to bring injections, and the woman immediately injected Lee Joon. After being injected, Lee Joon fainted and was unconscious.
Evening has arrived ....
Ms. Kang and Mr. Lim arrived at the magnificent villa where Lee Joon was kidnapped earlier, they immediately barged in and when they had just passed the gate of the villa, it turned out that they had been awaited by hundreds of people with full weaponry in black suits just like them.
Ms. Kang and Mr. Lim also pulled out their guns and were vigilant.
“Where is the young master?! quickly tell us!” ask Mr. Lim while pointing a gun at everyone who surrounded them.
“Calm down, we haven't seen who is behind this,” Kang's mother told Mr Lim who turned her back on each other.
“It turns out to be true ... It was you senior Lim, senior Kang,” said the beautiful woman who kidnapped Lee Joon approached Kang's mother and Lim sir.
“It turns out I was right, this is all you black roses!” kang's mother said to the beautiful woman.
Everyone lowered their weapons, and after that tense atmosphere, the, the beautiful black rose took Lim and Kang's mother to the basement where Lee Joon and the middle-aged woman were being treated.
They arrived in an underground room containing hundreds of bottles of wine, and it makes Kang's mother and Lim's father surprised to see an unconscious Lee Joon right next to the middle-aged woman with a different bed.
“What are you doing with young master? answer me black roses!” ask Kang's mother firmly on the black rose.
“Calm down, and can senior call me by my name only, I'm tired of that title,” replied the beautiful woman.
“Who is the middle-aged woman next to the young master, Lisa?” ask Mr. Lim to the beautiful woman named Lisa.
“That's better than calling that silly black rose, I'd rather be called by my real name. Actually I don't know what's going on with this crown prince of ours either, he was suddenly in pain and held onto his fist after he cried seeing this middle-aged woman, she said,” Lisa told Kang's mother and Lim sir.
“Do not-don't mean! this woman is a mistress?” lim said to Lisa.
“True once,” replied Lisa briefly.
“I think the young master is in pain because his memory suddenly appears when he sees the face of the mistress,” continued Mr. Lim.
“We better let the young master rest first, we better talk elsewhere,” said Kang's mother.
They go upstairs and let Lee Joon and his mother rest in the basement.
Shortly after, Lee Joon came to his senses from his waist, and his face seemed to have gone through such a difficult time for so long. Lee Joon got out of bed and went back to the middle-aged woman who was none other than his own mother.
“Mother ... It's me, Lee Joon bu ..” Lee Joon said as he held back tears.
Lee Joon said as he held the weakly lying hands of his mother.
“Bu .. Now that I have remembered everything, I promise to avenge the man who betrayed father, I promise we can be like before, again,” said Lee Joon to his mother who is still in a weak state lying unconscious.
While in the upper room, precisely in the middle room of the villa, Kang's mother, Lim sir, and Lisa were talking about and studying what had happened from the beginning until now.
“I didn't expect, if you've been taking care of the mistress who was almost dying so far, what exactly made the mistress end up like that? isn't the mistress a doctor here?” ask Mr. Lim to Lisa.
“Nine years ago, right after a year had passed since the tragedy that had claimed the boss's life, the mistress was chased by those people because she knew the mistress's relationship and the boss was a couple's husband and wife, so they intend to remove Aqila Family to its roots,” explained Lisa replied Mr. Lim.
“But at that time the mistress was still much healthier and fitter before she was like now,” said Kang's mother.
“It .. happened just before the mistress was chased and hunted by those men who were disguised as nurses and doctors at the hospital where the mistress worked, the mistress confessed that her drink had been poisoned, and the lady had injected her medicine before she called me to save her at that time,” Lisa explained to Kang's mother and Lim.
“Do they now know that the young mistress and master are still alive?” ask mr Lim.
“Then, when me and my men managed to save the mistress and bring her here, a week later there was news of the death of the mistress everywhere, in fact, almost all channels on tv broadcast news about the death of the mistress with the editor ‘, a well-known hospital professor has committed suicide by drinking cyanide’. That's what happened to us during our time here, but since they claimed that the madam was dead, it kept us quite safe for a while until now, and for our young master, it was, I don't know anything about that,” Lisa replied at length.
“If they were still searching and hunting our people, surely the young master was finished, I guess the young master was not too they considered seeing the boss and mistress they had already vanished, I guess the young master was not too much, maybe that's what makes them not or have not touched the young master,” continued Kang's mother.
Suddenly the door from the direction of the basement opened, and slowly came the sound of footsteps approaching the three of them.
