Reborn to Take Revenge
Chapter 1
Laughter echoed through the empty corridor. In a dimly lit prison, a man was seen lying on the cold floor, looking lifeless. His pale complexion made him appear as though he were already dead, if not for the slight movement of his chest, indicating that he was still breathing.
??
"Hehehe, bro, I've come to see you!" The door was pushed open, and the owner of the laughter walked in. The woman who entered was dressed in gorgeous clothes with heavy makeup. She looked at the man lying on the floor with mockery in her eyes.
Although the man was pale and skinny, his beauty was still evident.
?
"Anna, at this point, why are you still pretending to care?" As the man spoke, Anna's footsteps came to a halt. Then she burst into laughter, as if she had heard the biggest joke of her life. The smile was vicious.
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
"Well, since I'm the owner of the company and have won many awards, a useless person like you has no value to me. It's your stupidity that always made you treat me like a beloved sister, yet you still didn't realize I was deceiving you."
Taehyung
At these words, Taehyung could only move the corners of his lips numbly and said in a painful voice, "Before, I thought it was only because you were over-pampered by your family and hadn't faced any difficulties yet. I cared for you and always thought of you in a positive way. But it wasn't until you deceived me, framed me, and put me behind bars that I realized you never saw me as family."
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
"A family?" Anna chuckled, as if she had heard a joke. "How could we be a family? When Dad brought you back from the countryside, he said you were my vessel and substitute! Do you think referring to me as your sister will change the fact that you were never part of the Kim Family? Even our plants back home are more important than you."
At this moment, the pitiful and obedient expression on Taehyung's face disappeared, replaced by disdain and disgust, as though being near her was an insult.
Taehyung couldn't help but feel terrible and heartbroken as he listened to her beloved sister reveal the truth. But being awake for so long had made him unable to express his deepest emotions. His eyes opened and closed, unable to digest what he had just heard.
Taehyung
"Since I have done so much for you, can you please allow me to see Sunghoon one last time?" They had injected him with an unknown poison and thrown him onto the cold prison floor, and he was close to death. Before leaving this world, he just wanted to see the only person who had given him warmth.
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
"Oh, you mean my fiancé, Li Sunghoon?" Anna was enjoying the torment Taehyung was going through, evident in his lifeless appearance. "Oh, I forgot to tell you—he came with me today."
Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the door, and a man entered. As soon as he walked in, Anna hugged him by the neck intimately and acted coquettishly, saying
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
Sunghoon, you finally came. brother has been waiting for you for a long time."
Finally, Taehyung was able to make some movement. Then he heard the voice he had been longing to hear—the voice of the person he loved deeply. It was that same cheerful voice from ten years ago when he first met him. It was the memorable voice he could never forget; it was printed in his memory.
Li Sunghoon
Anna, don't say that—you know I only liked you from the beginning."
However, at that moment, the man's words made Taehyung question himself, wondering if this was really her Sunghoon from ten years ago.
Taehyung suddenly stood up from the cold floor, slightly shaking from the shock of Sunghoon's words.
Taehyung
"Li Sunghoon?!" he demanded. "Why did you betray me?"
he could see that the young man he had known was no longer his Tristan. He had even betrayed him with her own sister. Sunghoon looked at the pale and skinny Taehyung with disgust and said
Li Sunghoon
"I only played with you back then—I didn't expect you to take it seriously. I just needed your talent to groom my company, since you were good in business and medicine. Otherwise, with your identity, which man would like you? You aren't even qualified to attend events with me."
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
"Otherwise, how could you have stooped so low that we used you like this?" Anna answered without any sympathy. "Are you a saint that you sacrificed yourself for me and the Kim family? You really make me laugh." As she spoke, she leaned on Sunghoon's chest and laughed out loud.
Taehyung back down and stared at an empty corner in front of him, thinking to himself, Yes, I was really a fool to love and trust you like my own family.
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
After showing off enough in front of Taehyung, Anna said impatiently, "Alright, you can continue with your research here so that you can cure yourself. No one will disturb you. You can even kill yourself if you're tired of living."
Taehyung
Upon hearing this, Taehyung maintained a calm expression and calmly asked, "Can I have a glass of water?" Anna was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't stop him. "Sure, go ahead—it seems you don't want to die just yet." The room was empty except for a small table that held a water dispenser.
The water dispenser was designed to both freeze and boil water. As Taehyung reached for the water, he asked Anna if she knew that water could take many forms. Anna was taken aback by the question, sneering and saying harshly to his brother,
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
"Water is just water. Don't try to teach me anything here—you can't even survive on your own."
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
She thought Taehyung deliberately trying to make fun of her and didn't pay much attention to it. She and Sunghoon ready to leave. Then, out of nowhere, a hand gripped Anna's neck, followed by a sharp pain in her throat, making her scream in horror.
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
Ah!!
Before Sunghoon could react, he also felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he raised his head, he saw that Taehyung had stabbed him in the heart, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Chapter 2
Anna fell into a pool of blood, her face pale despite her makeup, and she was in shock. She tried to speak, but blood gushed from her throat. How did this happen? She had made sure they put away all harmful objects before visiting Taehyung.
In her shocked state, she saw Taehyung holding something—not just any object but an ice blade. The ice knife Taehyung used to stab her was still stained with blood, emitting a chilling aura. How did he get it?
Taehyung
Take this piece of advice, Anna," Taehyung whispered as he moved closer. "Water can take many forms, little sister. It can evaporate into the thin air without a trace, and it can also kill. I told you to study hard."
Anna never imagined that ice could one day take her life. Only now did she realize the level of intelligence Taehyung possessed. Even if starved and poisoned, as long as Taehyung wanted, he could turn every situation in his favor.
Kim Anna(mc's sister)
brother... brother, please, I'm sorry. Forgive me... please don't kill me..." The cold look in Taehyung's eyes, coupled with the blood Anna was losing, finally terrified her. In the past, whenever she acted pitiful, Taehyung would agree to anything. But not this time.
Taehyung
Taehyung looked at her with disgust and pushed away her hands as if Anna were a plague. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. To Taehyung, the dying person on the floor was no longer human. The love he had for Anna had disappeared over the last ten years. They were now enemies.
Li Sunghoon
Turning his head, he saw Sunghoon trying to move. his unfriendly gaze made Sunghoon shudder, and he screamed and vomited blood. "Taehyung,please, you can't kill me. I love you! I really do! It was your sister who seduced me and made me say all those hurtful words."
Taehyung
Despite his blabbering, Taehyung remained calm and said, "From the moment you broke my heart and trust, you were destined to die by my hands."
Li Sunghoon
"No!" Sunghoon tried to get up.
But he had lost too much blood and was weak. He now realized how serious the situation was. The fear of death angered him, and he kicked the barely surviving Anna, blaming her.
Li Sunghoon
"It's all your fault, you stupid girl! It's all your fault that I'm in this situation!"
He was cursing Anna, forgetting that they had been flaunting their affection in front of Taehyung just minutes ago, even talking about their future together. After his rant, he crawled over to where Taehyung stood and begged,
Li Sunghoon
"Please forgive me, I was wrong. Let's start over, okay? Please? Please forgive me this one last time."
Taehyung
The person Taehyung had once admired was now more wicked and heartless than Anna. he shook his head and said, "No, I don't love you. I only yearned for the warmth you showed me when my car broke down and you helped me fix it the first time we met."
It had been the first warmth he received since moving from the countryside to the city, so he had cherished it—but not anymore. Seeing that he wouldn't change his mind, Sunghoon's heart sank as he slowly felt his heartbeat weakening.
The spacious room was silent because they had made sure the officers wouldn't disturb them or hear their conversation. At this moment, they were doomed to die. Taehyung did something to the water dispenser, and suddenly the room started to feel hotter. Then suddenly—
he wiped the sweat from his face and stared at his palms, not believing the kind of dream he just had. he had heard and seen the flames, and he had been blown into pieces. It felt so real—he could still feel the pain in his bones—but he could see that he was fine now.
But wait...
he looked around and saw that he was lying in a garden, one that looked familiar. The colorful plants and some old gardening tools... this was her grandmother's garden in the countryside.
Realizing this, Taehyung didn't care about his appearance. he ran out of the garden, heading back home, screaming his grandma's name.
Kim Taehyung
"Grandma!" he cried as he hurriedly opened their old door, but all he saw was a photo of his grandmother hanging on the wall. The smile on the old woman's face made him eyes moist, and he was about to cry but held back.
Looking at his young and slender body, he could tell that he had been reborn 15 years ago. But why did it happen after his grandmother had already passed away? he walked over to where his grandmother's photo was, lit three sticks of incense, and bowed.
In his previous life, the Song Family had sent him to the city right after his grandmother passed away. They claimed it was to pay respects to their ancestors, but in reality, they wanted him to be an organ donor for their precious daughter.
When they realized he was intelligent, they exploited him until they injected him with an unknown substance and threw him into a cold prison. he had never had the chance to pay his respects to his grandmother. After he finished his ritual, he heard some commotion outside.
Several people pushed their way into the living room, and when they looked up and saw the little boy, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet and awkward. Taehyung looked at their hypocritical faces and laughed inwardly.
In his past life, he had really thought these people would still be there for him, even after his grandmother passed away. They couldn't even wait for his grandmother's funeral before fighting over the family properties.
chapter 3
Song junhyun
The so-called eldest son of the song family had a smile on his face and said, "Kim Taehyung, although you have the surname Kim, you are still abandoned here. Your real father is very rich and lives in the city. We plan to take you there so you can reunite with your family."
Song junhyun
"Since you will be enjoying a life of wealth, why don't you hand over the old woman's property to us? After all, it is the asset of our song family."
Taehyung listened to them, feeling nothing but coldness in his heart. It was they who misled him into thinking that living with the Kim family in the city would make his life easier, not knowing he would be married off immediately to gain their favor.
Kim Taehyung
He opened his mouth and narrowed his eyes at those hypocrites and said, "What if I don't want to give it to you?"
Everyone was taken aback by his response. None of them had really expected him to refuse.
Song junhyun
"Hehe, what right do you have to hold onto things that do not belong to you? When the old woman passed away, these things naturally became part of the Song family," the eldest son immediately shouted. "And don't forget that you were born to an unmarried mother. To put it bluntly, you are an unrecognized bastard."
Yes, from childhood to adulthood, this word seemed to be engraved in Taehyung's bones. Except for his grandmother, everyone in the Song family was polite to him but cursed him behind his back. Seeing that he remained silent, the youngest member of the James family rolled up his sleeves and angrily shouted,
Song Jiho
"Now that Grandma is dead, you have the guts to speak up? You eat so much food for nothing!"
The Song family, with the help of his grandmother, had continued their family gift in medicine for generations. Taehyung never met his grandfather, who died early, but Grandma song always complimented him as a great husband and father. When Grandma Song brought Taehyung home, she was met with opposition.
To prevent any mischief while away, Grandma song raised Taehyung as a alpha boy, ensuring he could defend himself when bullied. Now that Grandma was gone, these people no longer needed to pretend.
Song Jiho
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are we going to rob him? Can this kid handle us?" jiho stepped forward and made a move to grab him.
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung dodged to the other side and said with a frown, "Wait, I'll get it for you."
After speaking, he turned and walked straight to the memorial tablet. jiho looked at his brothers, feeling smug that he was the one to compel him to be obedient and bring out the family assets. The other two didn't say anything but also dropped their hypocritical masks, standing with their arms folded, watching Taehyung's movements.
Soon, a black box was taken out from behind the memorial tablet, and when the lid opened, it revealed a passbook. The three brothers' eyes lit up.
Song junhyun
Song junhyun was the first to reach out, "Give it to me. We need to verify that everything is here."
Kim Taehyung
Okay," Taehyung said, looking at him. As if he had forgotten his previous resistance, he obediently handed over the box and said in a soft voice, "Grandma didn't leave anything else valuable, only this passbook. Inside... there are two hundred thousand gold coins."
Song junhyun
At the end of his sentence, the number seemed to stretch infinitely, entering the ears of the three brothers like a roaring river. "Two hundred... a thousand?" junhyun stuttered, afraid he had misheard.
They had been jobless, working only menial jobs in the village for a lifetime and had never seen so much money. Seeing Taehyung nod honestly, Junhyun's mind buzzed with excitement, and his outstretched hand trembled slightly.
Kim Taehyung
"If you don't believe it, you can check," Taehyung said as he held the box as if he wanted to prove his innocence. he opened the last page of the passbook, revealing the shining numbers.
The long string of zeros almost blinded the eyes of the rural men. Junhyun stared at the book, drooling, but before he could touch the box, another big hand suddenly reached out from the side, and with a snap, grabbed the wooden box and snatched it away. After being reborn and abandoning his longing for family affection, Taehyung realized how foolish these people were. With just a little provocation, they became a chaotic mess.
A few minutes later, the brawl finally ended. Junhyun wiped the blood from his forehead, grabbed the box, and stood up, laughing heartily. But his joy lasted only three seconds before a bench flew through the air and hit him hard in the back.
Bang!
The powerful blow knocked Junhyun unconscious. Taehyung walked over, kicked him aside, picked up the box, and put it back in its place.
Kim Taehyung
he looked at the plaque with the golden bottom in front of him and smirked, muttering under his breath, "Grandma, have you seen the true faces of these people?"
Kim Taehyung
No one took care of you when you were alive, and even after you died, your things shouldn't be given to them, even if it's to feed the dogs, right?" he wiped the box carefully with a cloth, his movements gentle and cautious.
Just as he was about to close the box, he felt something strange. His hand involuntarily reached inside. It was as if something was drawing him in, and when he snapped out of it, he realized he was holding a completely black box.
Grandma song had been a genius village doctor, and Taehyung had acquired his skills in medicine from her. Grandma Song had cured many diseases in the village. As Taehyung turned around, he saw half of Junhyun's face covered in blood with a fierce expression.
Song junhyun
"I knew it, a little bastard like you with no manners had bad intentions." The threat of death and excessive blood loss had driven him mad. He picked up the firewood chopper in his hand and fiercely swung it toward Taehyung. "How dare you touch what's supposed to be mine? I'll kill you!"
The swing was fast and urgent, and Taehyung was too close to the altar behind him to avoid it. Seeing that the blade was about to strike and blood would soon be spilled, Taehyung's heart pounded like a drum.
