Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 404

404 The war has begun

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. 1

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 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.
