ATHERIO PARK [RELEASED]

A Leader is The Winner

"Be rainbow in someone else's cloud."

◆◇◆

The first week of Atherio's underground base, Atherio was practicing his speaking skills and foreign language skills with Carlos and Min Hyuk.

Meanwhile, Atherina was watching her sister from a distance. Every now and then he smiled looking at Atherio's annoyed face.

"Why don't we just speak Korean?" Atherio asked half-grumbled.

"But sir, our business partner is not just Korean, there are many business partners who come from abroad." Hearing Min Hyuk's words, Atherio's body leaned limp onto the chair.

"Dad really wanted to kill me slowly, when I wasn't a traitor" Atherio murmured softly. Min Hyuk chuckled amusedly at Atherio's words.

"So, will this continue?" Ask Carlos. "So soon, it feels like my tongue has a problem."

Atherina chuckled small.

The following week, Atherio trained on computers with Joon Ki. The man explained about important devices that can be used to hack computer systems. Atherio listened to Joon Ki seriously.

"That's easy, isn't it?" Hearing Joon Ki's question, Atherio looked up at the coach. With a sweet smile, Atherio shook his head. Joon Ki rolled both his eyes.

Atherina who was watching Atherio in the same spot, seemed to be smiling knots.

The following week, Gun Seok with Carlos explained his strategy and good leadership to Atherio. He listened to her seriously, this time he seemed to understand.

"Think fast" murmured Atherio. Carlos and Gun Seok looked at each other and nodded their heads.

There was no Atherina who used to notice him. I don't know where the girl is.

The following week, Esteban explained how to hold the gun properly.

Esteban aimed at the left chest of the mannequin already available in the training room.

Dor's!

One shot destroyed the mannequin. Atherio is fascinated by Esteban's abilities. Atherio was told to shoot the mannequin in the head.

Dor's!

Atherio was shocked by the sound of a gun he was holding. The shot hit the mannequin's ear. Esteban who folded both hands in front of the chest smiled while showing his thumb.

"Good start" said Esteban.

Atherio chuckled small.

Atherina was in an ordinary place, she was watching her sister while smiling proudly.

The following week, Atherio trained with Victor. The Atherio movement is still very lacking. After feeling exhausted, he chose to sit on the floor and lay down with a breath of breath.

Victor was sitting next to Atherio, he thrust a bottle of mineral water at his young master. Atherio accepted, "Thank you, Uncle Victor."

Atherio got up to sit down. His hands moved to open the bottle of mineral water, but it did not open. He gave it to Victor. Victor turned his head and took the bottle and opened it for Atherio. Victor returned it to Atherio.

Atherio immediately drank the mineral water to the extent that it partially soaked his chin and flowed into his chest. Seeing that, Victor shook his head with a smile.

One bottle was gone, his breathing was still panting. "Are..nana also practicing like this?" Ask Atherio.

"I think more than this, Miss Park sometimes practices twice the usual hours. He had not even drunk a single drop of mineral water before mastering a single perfect move." Atherio's view changed after hearing Victor's reply.

"Is he so strong?" Ask Atherio. "I have no right to judge Miss Park" replied Victor. Atherio sighed softly.

In addition to the school schedule, Atherio's days are filled with training schedules. He complains a lot, but he trains well. Sometimes he runs away from the training ground or pretends to sleep. His coaches are also sometimes overwhelmed with his childish attitude.

The coaches who were Park's confidants did not dare to report Atherio's attitude to Park. They reported it to Atherina more often. So that the girl sometimes had to intervene advised Atherio.

But behind this, Atherina was rarely at home. Atherio and Atherina only meet at breakfast. Sometimes the two are not together when leaving for school, Atherio always leaves first. Returning home from school, Atherio trains at the underground headquarters, while Atherina takes care of the group's interests elsewhere.

Atherio snorted in annoyance, he drank the mineral water Ji Hoo gave him.

All this time you've been training this hard? But he didn't seem burdened at all. He's really great.

Atherio laid his body on the table. Ji Hoo who was sitting on the chair opened his mineral water bottle. Both of Atherio's round eyes stared at the ceiling of the headquarters.

I miss sister Nana... What is she doing now? Does he miss me too?

"Did sister Nana ever run away when she was forced to practice?" Ask Atherio. Ji Hoo did not stand up to the mineral water. He looked at Atherio.

"Miss Park never ran away during practice, besides she was never forced into practice. Miss Park herself asked to be trained," Ji Hoo replied, then drank the mineral water. Atherio digested Ji Hoo's answer.

"Ah, why is this so hard.."

"Miss Park never complains, she is always confident in her abilities, which is why she became a leader. isn't the young master a real leader? You should be able to follow Miss Park."

"Aaahhh, you speak very spicy, Uncle."

Ji Hoo chuckled slightly, "Miss Park once said, if she's not strong, then she wants to train to be strong and be the protector of the Park family."

"Protectors? Why would he want to be a protector? If the answer is your command, why didn't you choose me? Is it because I'm weak?"

"No, it's because Young Master is the leader," Ji Hoo argued.

"Isn't the leader's job to protect his or her members?"

"Yes, that's right. Your job as a leader is to protect your family members, Miss Park's job is to protect you, our leader."

Atherio digested Ji Hoo's words which he thought were ambiguous. "Ah, Uncle Ji Hoo's words are as confusing as those of uncle Carlos and uncle Min Hyuk," Atherio grumbled.

Ji Hoo laughed loosely, "I'm not a linguist like the two of them. My job is to curse people."

Atherio laughed, "Like Gun Seok's uncle." Ji Hoo nodded, "Yes, we are indeed the ones who fight the most. Hence Mr. Park separated us." Ji Hoo's gaze laughed.

"In the gangster world, the leader is the epitome of victory. If the leader of a group is defeated, then the whole group loses."

"Do members of his group have no right to avenge the defeat of his leader?" Atherio asked as he looked at Ji Hoo seriously. Ji Hoo shook his head, "That's a rare occurrence, because the members of his group will be massacred, or choose to join them."

Atherio ruffled his sweat-soaked hair, "I need to learn a lot from you, this is troublesome. You have one ability, while I have to master each of your abilities.it's not fair." Atherio grunted softly.

"In the gangster world, a leader who has a lot of ability is the leader who is most feared, the most disinclined, the most respected, like Mr. Park.."

Ji Hoo took a breath for a moment, he drank some more of his mineral water, then continued the interrupted sentence. ".. because even enemies or comrades would think twice about taking down a group that had such a leader."

Atherio nodded in understanding, "Why don't the police smell the movements of the gangster world group members? Though there was often murder and violence" asked Atherio.

"When one gangster gets caught, another member or even one group gets caught too, then the other group that cooperates with the group will be dragged as well.Even the enemies of the group will also be dragged." Ji Hoo leaned his back against the chair. "This is the special world of gangsters, if a group is threatened with danger, the enemy is ready to protect so that they do not get dragged along. If all the groups were caught, then the dark world would collapse, it would take decades to revive the dark world. The gangster world isn't big, every group has a relationship with each other."

"Like a chain," murmured Atherio. Ji Hoo nodded, "Truely, once in an area there had been a massive gangster arrest, it was because they did not protect each other in the dark world. They're being individualistic."

Atherio nodded in understanding, he stretched his body like a baby. "I want to go home, it's late."

"Miss Atherina will question me later if Young Master leaves" Ji Hoo said. "Calm down, Uncle, I'll defend you. I'll go first, yeah." Atherio waved his hand as it passed leaving the underground headquarters.

◆◇◆

Atherio did not see the car that Atherina often used in the garage, it indicates his brother was not at home.

Atherio asked one of the servants, "Did sister Nana go out?"

The waiter bowed, "Yes, sir, the lady left a few minutes ago."

Atherio was surprised, "Are his men father with sister Nana?" The waiter shook his head, "Miss left with some bodyguards."

"You can go back to work." The waiter replied with a nod.

"In the gangster world, the leader is the epitome of victory. If the leader of a group is defeated, then the whole group loses." Ji Hoo's words were still ringing in his ears.

Atherio rushes out of the house, and sees Ji Hoo's car driving into his yard. Ji Hoo lowered the windshield while looking at Atherio.

"What's up, sir? Why do you look so panicked?" Regardless of Ji Hoo's question, Atherio entered the car.

"Kak Nana held a meeting alone with her partner. I don't think that's a good thing. We have to find him." Atherio's tone sounded panicked.

"Aren't there any people accompanying him?" Ask Ji Hoo.

"No, there's just a couple of guys, run the car fast." Atherio hits the dashboard for worrying about his brother.

"Where?"

Atherio suddenly shut up because of Ji Hoo's question. The leader of the seven confidants of his father shook his head slowly, he put an oval-shaped communication device into his ear.

"Joon Ki, activate Miss Park's tracking device." Ji Hoo gave the order.

"Good."

"Ask my Uncle's friends, why aren't they accompanying my brother!" Gerutu Atherio's.

Ji Hoo nodded then spoke again, "Joon Ki, connect me with the others."

"In the meantime, I've sent the location to the computer in the car you're in.."

Ji Hoo turned on the medium-sized laptop in the car. "Let me alone" said Atherio while taking over the computer.

"This is where we've met" Atherio said. Ji Hoo nodded then drove his car away from Park's residence.

".. I've connected you to everyone else" Joon Ki said from across the street.

"Carlos? Did you hear me?" Ji Hoo asked while focusing on driving. Atherio looked at Ji Hoo.

"Yes, it's me. What's up with Ji Hoo?" Carlos with Min Hyuk was having a meeting also elsewhere.

"Why don't you accompany Miss Park to the meeting? Are you so busy?" Ji Hoo asked while looking at Atherio. He gave Atherio the same tools.

Atherio accepted it and plugged it into the ear. "Who's in charge of accompanying brother to the meeting?" Ask Atherio who is already upset. Ji Hoo drove the car at high speed.

"I ordered Mr. Park to another meeting with Carlos" replied Min Hyuk.

"It's me, Victor. I'm with another member training a new member." Victor confirmed his communication tools while paying attention to some new members who were practicing.

"Gun Seok is here, I'm dealing with the problems in Mr. Park's territory." Gun Seok is overseeing construction on Park's new territory.

"I'm doing a new arms deal from America, sorry I can't go with Miss Park." Esteban turned his back to the people who were looking at the weapons he was carrying.

Atherio clenched his hands, Ji Hoo noticed the anger of his master. "Why do you care about what is no more important than a leader? If my brother is okay, not only you, but also my father's group will be in danger!" Atherio threw his communication device.

"Young master,"

Ji Hoo's gaze was straight into the streets, it turned out that the young master had grown up. She will be a more assertive leader after Miss Atherina.

Atherio again took the communication tool that he had thrown. He put it back in.

Ji Hoo's car stalled in front of an abandoned building. They both got out of the car.

"Why did gangsters choose this horrible place as a meeting place? Restaurant's better, I guess." Atherio grumbled to himself.

Ji Hoo took out a few pistols from the armament box in the back seat.

"Ji Hoo's? Where are you?" Gun Seok got into his car.

"Shut up for a minute, I'm looking for the bullet." Ji Hoo grumbled while rummaging through the gun storage box.

"Basan sucks, you just answer where you are!" Gun Seok drove his car off the scene.

"You can ask Joon Ki, why ask me!" Ji Hoo found the bullet box. "Damn it, where have you been!"

"What did you say? Me fucking? Then where were you at that time? The playwright!" Gun Seok hit the steering wheel in annoyance.

"I'm not talking to you! I'm not a womanizer!" Gerrutu Ji Hoo's.

"Who are you talking to then! Goddamn bum!"

Meanwhile, people who are still connected to their communication tools are only able to remain silent. Victor had no expression at all, he packed up to meet Ji Hoo.

Carlos and Min Hyuk held each other's heads, they continued the meeting. Then Esteban put the money he had gotten into the bag. He did not care about the two people who were fighting on the communication device.

Joon Ki who is loyal to his computer screen is only able to roll his eyes irritated.

"You're the jerk!"

"Silence asshole!"

"YOU TWO SHUT UP!"

Ji Hoo was stunned to get a snatch from his comrades. Atherio chuckled at their quarrel. Ji Hoo turned to his master then shook his head slowly.
