"B-but… President Cho, I-I don't like peppers.", Sung Nan tried to refuse.

Daniel clicked his tongue, "Oh, you will like this one. It's especially good."

'If it's that good, why don't you eat it instead?!', Sung Nan sneered in his thoughts. He still didn't understand why Daniel had suddenly wanted to make him eat peppers.

'Didn't he want for me to admit that I stole the game? But I already did that! Was this his way of giving me a reward for admitting it?', he continued to wonder. Sung Nan clearly didn't realize what he just did.

"Sure! I'll go get you some.", Sean disappeared from the room and headed towards his kitchen upstairs.

When the room fell silent again, Sung Nan attempted to talk some sense into the crazy man in front of him. "President Cho, I already admit about stealing the game… w-why am I still not being released?"

Daniel wondered how this idiot became a CEO when his brain was lacking. "Mr. Nan, I already know that you stole the game. Your admission to me just now is worthless."

Sung Nan furrowed his brows in confusion and waited for Daniel to continue.

"What I want is for you to publicly admit what you did."

"What?! Publicly… you don't mean…", he suddenly became restless. 'He wants me to…'

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. In front of all the people. In front of the media. Admit to everyone what you did and you will be released. It's that simple.", Daniel calmly explained.

But what he meant for 'simple' wasn't exactly simple for Sung Nan. He was still a wanted man because he fled during that day when his company went bankrupt. He owed people a lot of money and the police were even looking for him. So if he were to appear in public, it will surely be the end for him.

He was very conflicted. So there really was no way out of this?

Sung Nan refused to agree, "No! I can't do that! I won't do that! You can not make me, Daniel Cho!", he roared, he even refused to call Daniel's title because of his anger.

Just then, the door opened and Sean came in with a bowl in his hand. Inside the bowl were three Ghost Peppers. Daniel stood up from his seat and walked towards his friend.

Handing the bowl to Daniel, he remarked, "Here you go, Swift. That's fifteen bucks."

Daniel glared at Sean, "Are you serious?"

Sean shrugged, "What? I'm running a business. It's actually six dollars a piece, I'm already giving you a discount."

"Unbelievable.", Daniel commented before he took the bowl from Sean's hand.

"What…?", Sean innocently replied.

Daniel walked back to where Sung Nan was seated and he placed the bowl on the side table beside the man before he sat back on the armchair.

"What is this!? What are you going to do?", Sung Nan nervously asked. His feeling of anxiousness and anger have mixed causing him to be extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm not going to do anything, Mr. Nan... You are."

Leaning forward, Daniel's eyes were fierce, shooting daggers at the man in front of him. "Eat.", he ordered.

Sung Nan's back was already drenched in sweat and his entire body shook from hearing the words that came out from Daniel. This devil was truly frightening, he is making the bastard eat it on his own!

"You are going too far! I am very weak against anything hot! I can die if I eat it!", he yelled in response.

Tilting his head, Daniel asked his friend, "Sharp, can you really die from eating this pepper?"

Sean had already brought his knife and stone with him inside the room and at that time, he had just started to sharpen them again. Hearing the question, he answered his friend casually while he continued what he was doing, "Yeah, you can die from ingesting too many, I guess."

Daniel Cho shrugged seemingly unaffected by what his friend had just said, "Hmm. I guess we'll just have to see."

Sung Nan became more terrified when Daniel faced him again.

"How about this, you choose. Either you get one piece and eat it… or I will make these gentlemen on the side make you eat three."

The terrified man almost peed his pants when he heard his options. The two men on the side swallowed in fear while Sean only chuckled and shook his head. His friend surely knows how to play the game.

Sung Nan was speechless, there was nothing else he could do. The only way that he could possibly survive was to eat the pepper on his own.

With trembling hands, he reached into the bowl and took a piece of the evil-looking red ghost pepper.

He looked at Daniel Cho once more but the darkness concealed his expression.

He had decided to face his fate and despite his unwillingness, he bit half of the pepper.

As soon as he did, his mouth felt the heat in the most extreme way. He groaned and spat the pepper out whilst coughing in pain. The intensity of the pepper burned his tongue and mouth, he had never experienced anything like it.

"Water! Please! Water!", he screamed as his face had gotten red. His hands tried to wipe the remnants from his tongue; he was about to go crazy as he was feeling too hot all over!

"I don't think water can help you. It will just make it worse.". Daniel was unfazed by the sight. "Sharp, doesn't milk help when you eat something hot and spicy?"

"Yeah... but I don't think it will be enough for the ghost pepper. Also, I ran out of milk.", Sean replied without lifting his head.

Daniel looked at the man in front of him again, "Ah, too bad. Sorry Mr. Nan, looks like we're out of milk."

Sung Nan burst out crying as he was in a lot of pain.

Daniel stood up from his seat and went beside Sean.

"Mr. Nan, since you don't agree to my request of facing the public to admit what you stole… I'll just have to make you.", he tapped Sean on the shoulder and his friend nodded in response.

Sean walked around the table and turned on the lights in the room as he spoke, "Mister, I heard that you were claustrophobic. Is that true?"

Sung Nan squinted his eyes from the brightness and abruptly looked up to Sean with a sorrowful expression, he didn't like where Sean's question was going.

The two men removed the ties around his ankle and dragged him towards the corner. He screamed in fear, "What else are you going to do!? Help! Help!"

There was an opened door that led to a very small room, it was smaller than a solitary confinement box.

As soon as Sung Nan saw it, he panicked even more and struggled. "No!! You can't put me in there! Stop! I concede! I will admit! In front of everyone! Please!", he screamed.

The two men stopped in their tracks.

And then Sean sighed as he looked at Daniel from the other end of the room,

"Swift, how boring!"
