London. A little past eleven in the morning.
Isabella sat on the sofa, swiping through her tablet.
Just then, a breaking story out of Korea caught her eye.
['Boneless Hyundo' Controversy Spreads… Missing Rebar Alleged at Incheon Apartments]
"Hmmm~"
Isabella's eyes narrowed to slits. A few lines into the article, her mouth curled into a smile.
"I heard they'd been picking on Bear lately, and look, they got it good. Heh heh."
She'd already heard plenty through the informant she'd planted in Korea.
The Hyundo Group had grown big enough to count as a global company. And word was it had started a local skirmish with Ha Tae-ung.
The problem was that Hyundo had gone after the people around Bear first.

Isabella finally burst out laughing. She rested the tablet on her stomach and stared at the ceiling.
Another thought popped into her head.
"When I see Bear, I'll tell him we're going to the Han River to eat chicken~"
She paused a moment, and her lips curved mischievously.
"Boneless~"
