"What do you want boy?" Liang Ju-Long pressed his palms to the desktop trying to quell his anger .
"I believe I have made it very clear what I want . I had hoped you would just accept what I have said . You will leave my wife be . You will leave my employees be . You will no longer interfere with my life or you will find yourself with nothing .
"I have called a shareholders meeting for Wednesday . It is time we found a new chairman, one who is more future-minded . . "
"You can't do that, you don't carry the weight to order such a thing . "
"Oh but you are mistaken not only am I the chief executive officer, I am also now the largest shareholder of Liang International holding 45% of the company's stocks . " Liang Ju-Long looked up at his son with a rare showing of shock upon his face .

"I have been making my move since last year, when I realized how truly powerless I was . Thank you for helping give me the drive I needed to accomplish this . I quickly changed my status on my own, without a marriage, while growing and expanding the business exponentially .
"I now have enough power to remove the snake that continuously bites at my heel . "
Liang Ju-Long's hands shook as he clenched them into fists .
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Nothing I am here just to deliver a warning--no wait a promise to you .
"You have crossed my bottom line far too many times Liang Ju-Long, do not tread any further over that line . Live the rest of your life in peace and quiet with what you have already accumulated and from the stocks you still hold .
"Or lose everything, that is the only choice you have now . "
Liang Jian Amal narrowed his eyes as he looked down at the older man who stared at his fists before uncocking the weapon and storing it away .
"Know that just because I did not do it does not mean that I won't do you understand?"
"Yes I understand . "
"Good thank you for you compliance former chairman . " Seeing the ghost white face of the man Liang Jian Amal left satisfied .
His father was too used to being able to hold power over another's life but had never had experienced the same, it had made him callous and cold . Liang Jian Amal hoped that seeing his own life hanging on a previous thread might help bring out some awareness for someone other than himself .
'Hell even if it is awareness just for himself that will work too as long as he doesn't rise up again . '
Now that his business was accomplished he could finally go to where he wanted . He had to ensure a place to bring her back to .
'I hope she understands . . '

Liang Ju-Long kept his face down to his fists hiding his expression until after he saw that Liang Jian Amal had exited and he heard the door close as he left .
Pulling a key from the top drawer and opened the locked drawer at the bottom of his desk . Inside sat a whole drawer of memories and feelings he had long ago locked away so that he could fulfill a promise . Rifling through it he finally found an old worn photograph .
As he lifted his head the hidden smile grew .
"I hope you forgive my methods but I have accomplished what I promised you I would . The cost was far greater than what I could imagine but the results are far more brilliantly shining . I wish you could have seen our son grow, this might have turned out better if you had been here, but even without you, it has been hard but I have kept my promise . "
Liang Ju-Long stroked the small picture of Amira in a white sun-hat as she turned to look at him before bringing it up with his hands as he covered his eyes .
