The heavy oak door creaked open, echoing through the grand yet somber mansion. Kim stood at the threshold, his face a mask of controlled emotion. He watched as his mother-in-law, Mrs. Park, shuffled in, her frail form supported by a cane."Mother," he greeted tersely, stepping aside to let her in. Behind her, Sarai Min Jae followed, her eyes scanning the opulent interior with a mix of nostalgia and unease."Save your greetings for someone who cares Kim," Mrs. Park replied, her voice hoarse. "I wouldn't have come if it weren't for Sarai. The poor girl just wants to see her father."Sarai, now a striking 21-year-old woman, stood awkwardly, clutching her bag. "Dad," she said softly.Kim's eyes softened briefly. "Sarai. It's been too long." Kim steps close to her extending his arm with an invitation to hug. “Come, my dear.” He said as he hugged his daughter and she hugged him back. Sarai had been living with her grandmother for the last six years. Mrs Park had previously refused to let Sa

Max strode into the dimly lit room, the tension palpable in the air. The Board of Directors were already gathered, their faces a mix of anger and anticipation. Trisha followed closely behind, her expression unreadable. Max returns from his trip with Trisha and gathers with the Board of Directors as they discuss plans to lead a reprisal attack on the perpetrators, the Yakuza gang."Alright, let's get to it," Max said, taking his place at the head of the table. "We've all heard what happened. The Yakuza hit us hard. And it by safe to say there have been our dangerous enemy for a long time. According to Nathan’s insider info they were behind Pedro’s child trafficking operation. There are also the benefactors of the Mexican gang. They are also responsible for Miss Elenor’s death. We need to strike back, and we need to do it now."Rick, one of the Capos, leaned forward. "We need to hit them where it hurts. Their operations in the docks are crucial. We take that out, we cripple them.""Agre

Kim’s office was dimly lit, the shadows playing across the walls as he waited. The silence was interrupted by a soft knock on the door.“Enter,” Kim called, his voice calm but authoritative.Nakamura stepped inside, his face a mask of professionalism. “You wanted to see me?”Kim gestured to the chair opposite his desk. “Sit. What’s the situation?”Nakamura sat, her eyes narrowing slightly as he leaned forward, his fingers steepled. “Magnus has informed me about a planned attack by the Lucky family on our organization. It’s set to happen tomorrow .”Kim’s eyes widened, but he quickly composed herself. “Do we know the details?”Nakamura nodded. “Magnus was able to get the specifics. They plan to hit our main warehouse and the casino simultaneously. They’re hoping to cripple us in one swift move. They are also planning to hit us here at the headquarters.”Kim lets out a low whistle. “Ambitious. But foolish. How reliable is Magnus’s intel?”“Not that reliable,” Nakamura replied. “But righ

The Lucky mansion was quieter now, a deceptive calm settled over it. Max sat behind his desk, his mind occupied with the recent upheavals. The knock on the door broke his reverie.“Enter,” Max called, his voice steady.The door opened to reveal Sarai Min Jae, her expression resolute. She stepped inside, closing the door behind her. She had stayed at one of the safe houses they used to keep Nathan in when he was a captive. Her room was heavily monitored.In the office were Max, Ronald, and Bucky who had his arm bandaged up from the gunshot wound.“Sarai,” he began, his voice soft but firm, “we need to talk.” Max gestured to the chair opposite him. “Sit. ”Bucky stared at the 21-year-old girl who sat in front of the desk. She had nice black long hair, he fox eyes were an attractive feature Bucky could not ignore.“I hope the safe house wasn’t too rough on you beautiful,” Bucky said with a soft toneSarai looked up at Bucky and saw his nice smile. She quickly looked down trying to cover

The tension in the room was palpable as Sarai sat across from Max, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Bucky stood by her side, his eyes flicking between his brother and Sarai. Ronald was there too, leaning against the wall, his expression unreadable.Max broke the silence first. “Sarai, you said you have information on your father. We need to know everything.”Sarai’s eyes met Max’s, her voice steady. “I can give you his location and his modes of operation. But you have to promise me protection.”Max nodded slowly. “You have my word. Now, start talking.”Sarai took a deep breath. “My father, Kim Min Jae, operates out of a compound on the outskirts of the city. It’s heavily guarded, but I know the layout. He uses coded messages and encrypted communications to give orders.”Bucky leaned in, his voice soft but urgent. “How many guards are we talking about?”Sarai glanced at Bucky, her expression serious. “At least 300, maybe more. They’re well-trained and loyal to him. It won’t be eas
