◆◇◆

All members of the group

Park sits neatly in a special room for meetings. They talked while

waiting for the sixth generation single leader after Park J. A., Atherio

Parks.

Park Group is known as a large group that is very disciplined and organized. Of course, because in addition to the gangster leader, Park was also a big businessman during his life. The way to run a business in the gangster world is not much different than leading a company. There are many rules that

he used it in a group. Strict rules that bind every

members, including leaders. That's why the Park group is

one of the strongest groups in Korea.

Atherio enters the room

the meetings. He's wearing a black suit. That guy looks like that

mature and charming. That handsome face looked solemn and charismatic.

Min Hyuk and Victor followed behind. Suddenly the room became

reposeful.

All members stand up

then bowed his body to welcome his arrival. Atherio

his eyes to every corner of the room.

Atherio opens the voice,

"This is the first time I've stood alone as a leader.."

voice echoing. Ji Hoo and Carlos nodded while paying attention

Atherio who started his speech without further ado. Joon Ki and Esteban

looks seriously listening.

".. without my sister. I

know this is sudden. But, in this one month I'll make the rules

new. That doesn't mean the old rules don't apply. The old rules will

continue to apply or be revised. You know, as bad as the dark world

this, there must be a rule to keep it around."

Silent.

Atherio is back

he let out his voice, "I guess, this is my first speech when

become the sole leader. Maybe this will be a speech too

my last."

Suddenly everyone

confused and wondering. The room became a little noisy. Gun Seok

clapped his hands three times to keep everyone quiet. Sure enough, instantly

the room was silent again.

Atherio nodded, "I

won't make any more speeches, because if there's anything I want

tell me, I'll ask Uncle Ji Hoo who delivered it to me

you guys." you guys."

Ji Hoo nodded in understanding.

"I wouldn't

face to face with you. Unless I punish

someone, I'll automatically deal with that person."

"Quick change" murmured Carlos. Unceasingly he looked at Atherio's eyes which seemed to be emitting rays of great hope.

"I'm not only

running a business in this dark world. I also have to take care of

father's company and need to start again from the bottom." Atherio stared

straight ahead and close your eyes for a moment.

"Only that's what I want

I say," said Atherio, ending his speech. All members

hunching. Atherio gave the code to Min Hyuk and Victor,

he was immediately nodded by the two men.

Atherio left the room.

Heavy rain is pouring down on Seoul. Green plants around the Park house swayed in rainwater.

Atherio stands

turn to his seven confidants. The big hand touched

a big window in front of him. Looks warm steam from his hands imprinted

in window.

"From now on I'll take care of everything. I will give you a special place" said Atherio.

Esteban and Joon Ki

look at each other. Ji Hoo had a thoughtful expression. Carlos and Victor

put on a flat face. While Gun Seok and Min Hyuk did not move

his position.

"As the son of

a Park J. A., I will appear like a businessman in general. If

no, the public will get suspicious and start investigating us. I don't want to

our dark world is smelled by the police. I'm going to run a big business

in my father's company when I was mature enough."

Silent.

Atherio, who felt he was not responding, chose to turn around. They are still seriously listening.

　

"I will not break this team, but your task will be to separate to form a new team under your guidance."

"Aah?" Joon Ki is making a sound.

Atherio turned to him, "Is there anything you want to say, Uncle Joon Ki?"

the other six men also turned to Joon Ki.

The man immediately shook his head to answer Atherio's question.

"Tomorrow

you'll get a new assignment from me. It's late, congratulations

night." Atherio passed after the seven men bowed respectfully

to him.

As Atherio said last night. The next day, the seven men got a new assignment from their leader.

Ji

Hoo was in charge of delivering messages from Atherio to the other members. Him

also responsible for overseeing other members on duty.

only in the form. Then Gun Seok's job is still the same, leading the army

Atherio Duty?

In order to

at this time the main task is to learn and prepare yourself to enter

two new worlds later. He promised to be better than

her father's.

◆◇◆

Meanwhile, how is So Yeon?

Right, as I thought before. She was bullied by

the students who idolized Atherio because it was considered to have made

the problem that caused Atherio to change schools. But lucky there is

Christian helped him in that difficult time.

The two are good friends.

Actually Christian also got into trouble after he came back from the Atherio home.

***

At Chris's lonely house, by the way,

motorcar

black entered the courtyard of the house. The teenage boy went down

from car. He is none other than Chris. Atherio nodded his head

while looking at his friend. Reply to the same thing by Chris.

The black car turned around leaving Chris alone in his house.

Chris muttered, "Friends, I have a friend, and now I'm alone again."

Without

he realized, someone was ready to pull the trigger while aiming

her head. Chris saw his shoelaces come loose. He's crouching

to justify.

The peluri shot out without a sound.

The fully clothed killer's shot missed, "shit!"

Chris

shocked, he looked into the thickets where the killer was hiding.

Both of his eyes were wide. His house has been surrounded by assassins

the pay that is ready to kill him at any time.

Without

long thought, Chris ran into his house after a gunshot

streaked. He immediately closed the door with his heart racing

out of fear. The four assassins came out from the hiding place

and put a rifle to the door.

Chris muttered softly, "I can't hear the sound of their guns blasting. But, I can hear the trigger."

They shot the door down and entered. There's no Christian inside.

Suddenly,

the others fled to the back of the house. The police pulled the cover

the mouth of the killer in front of him, but to no avail. The murderer

sprinkled the powder into the eyes of the police and immediately ran after his friends.

The policeman grimaced as he rubbed his eyes.

Chris approached the policeman and helped him stand up.

Lee Hwan's name was on the uniform he was wearing. The man drenched his face in the kitchen sink. Chris looked at the man.

Lee Hwan immediately called his partner while picking up a towel. After calling, he looked at Chris.

"Who

them, Chris? Why would they kill you? What's going on?"

The barrage of questions came out after he rubbed his handsome face

with a white towel.

"I don't know" the simple answer Lee Hwan got. Three words that answer three questions.

Lee

Hwan threw his towel at the dinner table, "I'm worried about you! You

alone at home, what if one of them succeeds

shoot you? You're gonna be a roast pig."

Actually

Chris was also still shaken by the incident just now. But, he tried

looks fine or Lee Hwan will continue to interrogate him

overnight.

"States

Brother home?" Chris asked his brother. "A few days ago

I've arrived here and I'm freaking out knowing you're not home."

Chris was speechless, he shouldn't have asked the question just now.

"I

asked one of your friends, he said you were with his son a lot

Park J's. A.," Lee Hwan half asked. The man poured water

into the glass.

Chris rubbed his sweaty hair, "Yes."

"You've heard the news about Park J. A.? The guy's a gangster. Conjure

any way to make a lot of money. Including selling drugs

forbidden, selling human organs, selling weapons illegally, etc,

and many more."

Chris let out a rough breath, "I've heard of it. I'm not close friends with Atherio."

"really? Then why are you staying at his house?" Lee Hwan asked as he looked at his sister. He sipped water until it ran out.

No response from Chris.

Lee

Hwan grumbled annoyedly. He put an empty glass to the table violently.

The man looked back at his sister, "Want to lie to me? Nonexistent

what a point, Christian Lee."

"Have you made such a mistake that they sent a hit man to shoot you?"

"Son, stop introgasi me! I told you I didn't know."

Cell phones

Lee Hwan shook. He immediately raised his call. Happened

a short conversation about the shooting that just happened.

"Who's gonna shoot me? Is that a gangster?" Chris asked after seeing Lee Hwan end the conversation on the phone.

"No, no,

but it looks like Park's group's enemy. Maybe they saw you together

Atherio and intend to do something to you to get a reaction

from Atherio."

Chris seemed to think. Several policemen called by Lee Hwan came to check on them.

***

Lee Hwan will be staying in Seoul. He said he was being shut down for several weeks by Daegu police.

"Vacation? Then why did you choose to go home? Why not take a vacation somewhere else?" Ask Chris in a sniffy tone.

Lee

Hwan glanced at his sister, "I know mother is not in the

homehouse. So, I have to take care of you. By the way, why is your question

just now it was as if I wasn't happy I was here."

Yeah, it'd be better if you weren't here, inner Chris. "Your work must be heavy. So, I suggest you take a vacation."

Lee Hwan pushed his sister's forehead, "If I choose the beach as a vacation spot, then you'll die silly yesterday."

Chris smacked Lee Hwan's hand and rubbed his forehead.

Chris remembered what Atherio said in the car when he drove him home. "Possible

there are some enemies of mine who see you with me. Could be them

targeting you hostage or asking you a lot of questions about me.

Once they have enough information, they will

killing you.."

Chris did not understand

with Atherio's unpredictable difficult life. In the eye

Chris, what Atherio and Atherina are doing looks like

the hidden evil.

".. you take it easy, I'll protect you by sending a bodyguard to observe you up close. Those three bodyguards will be your neighbors, don't worry."

In fact, when the assassin sprinkled powder into Lee Hwan's eyes, the three bodyguards that Atherio sent out managed to drag the other assassin over

7 people. Why don't they help Chris when someone's aiming

her head? They couldn't possibly show themselves when there was Lee Hwan in

that house. Remember, Lee Hwan was home before Chris came home. The bodyguards were watching carefully so as not to suspect Lee Hwan who was a policeman.

Lee Hwan patted

his hand was in front of Chris. The man nodded. "Why

daydreaming?" Lee Hwan asked in an annoyed tone.

Chris looked at his brother seriously, "Sister." the man looked at his sister.

".. Brother is not staying

here for the mission, right?" Chris' question made an expression of surprise

it was clearly on Lee Hwan's face. Chris held his brother's hand,

"What mission, brother? Investigate the Park family?"

Lee Hwan brushed off his sister's hand, "It's my business." The man passed by leaving Chris filled with suspicion.

"Sister, answer me!"

Lee Hwan stopped and said, "I know, you're trying to protect Atherio."

Chris remained silent. He felt that he was protecting his friend indirectly.

"Honestly, I'm coming

here's not just investigating Park's family and his group. Me too

investigating other groups.." Chris looked at the face

her brother.

"As long as this investigation goes on, you as a witness will have my eye on it." Lee Hwan continued his steps.

Chris smeared his face to the table. A lot of things were going around in his head.

"Atherio, who are you really?"

"What do you think I am?"

"You're my friend."

"It's good if you think so."

"What they say about your family isn't true, is it?"

"What did they say?"

"You gangster family."

"If that's true, how?"

"No way! That's not true."

"It's up to you what you think of me."

Chris muttered softly, "What should I do?"

Elsewhere, somewhere else,

So Yeon**paper in his hand. Her tears are dripping

her cheek. The girl threw the crumpled paper to the spot

garbage. In the paper, it turns out that the sketches of Atherina's face were engraved

a small. There's a hangeul in the corner of the paper that says 'I love you forever, sister Nana. Atherio'.

So Yeon ran into her room crying. He threw

his glasses go in any direction. The girl likes to find information about

Atherio. He once searched the contents of Atherio's bag. He also often

passing through the Atherio house just to confirm the whereabouts of Atherio. Him

he was obsessed with Atherio. His head was filled with all

things about Atherio.

Then, how could he get a sketch of Atherina's face?

When Atherio came

misfortune and asking him to bring a bag through the window, So Yeon saw

the paper was from Atherio's slightly open bag. He took it and

saw it at home. At first he thought of Atherio's love for Atherina

just a little sister who is so close, but lately she

so understand through the expression and speech of the man when

talking brother.

So Yeon stared at the reflection

his face in the mirror. She looks more beautiful when she is not wearing

goggles. Even though his face looks messed up from crying.

"It can't be this way,"
