Kieran did not look angry or pleased when he saw the shock in the young man's eyes. After all, he was Franky's friend at school. If he learned his identity, it would mean new trouble, but coincidentally, Kieran had no intention of avoiding it.His gaze shifted to his two men, moving from one to the other before stopping for a moment."Go see Luke later and accept your punishment."The two men immediately nodded and did not dare argue under the pair of cold eyes staring at them."Yes, Boss... Understood.""You know the rules that were established. If you do something that harms the group or violates your employment contract, there are consequences."Cold sweat began forming on one of the men's foreheads."We understand. We won't do it again. We were truly stupid this time and made the wrong choice."Kieran gave a small nod."Good. Before you leave, return their money."The moment they heard that, the four students' expressions changed."What? Wait a minute—""We already paid that money

Kieran stood calmly in the dimly lit alley. His gaze swept across the six people standing in front of him one by one, but his expression did not change in the slightest.The two adult men standing behind the students were people who had chosen to follow him a few weeks ago after Boss Lee's group split apart, and yes, they were still working for him.Seeing them return to doing old jobs like this was not particularly surprising.Kieran knew better than anyone that a person's life did not change simply because they changed clothes or jobs. Old habits, old environments, and old acquaintances would not disappear within a matter of days.Because of that, he was not in a hurry to reveal his identity.Instead, he wanted to see just how far they were willing to go.In front of him, one of Franky's friends grinned in satisfaction when he saw that his "victim" remained silent. He spat to the side."Now you know what fear feels like, huh? Tsk, too bad it's already too late."The others laughed a

Luke, who had been silent earlier, finally rubbed the back of his neck before saying,“Boss…”Kieran glanced at him, knowing there was something he wanted to report privately, so he asked, “What is it?”“Actually, there’ve been some problems lately.”His expression darkened slightly.He fell silent for a moment before continuing, “Some of Boss Lee’s people have started causing trouble again.”Kieran’s gaze immediately turned slightly cold.“They’re not coming here, but they’re harassing our people outside. Sometimes while delivering goods. Sometimes while collecting money.”Luke clenched his fists slightly.“Some of our people even got beaten up.”The room immediately became much quieter for a few seconds. Luke looked at Kieran carefully before speaking again, “At first we thought it was just a coincidence… but now it’s obvious they’re doing it on purpose.”Kieran remained silent for a few seconds after hearing the report. His expression stayed flat, but his gaze gradually turned cold

The narrow alley looked the same as usual from the outside. Dark, cramped, and filled with dull walls that made ordinary people reluctant to go too far inside.However, the deeper they walked in, Ron’s steps gradually slowed.“...Wait.”His gaze fell on the building at the end of the alley.The old iron door was still there, but the paint had been replaced. The windows that were once cracked were now neatly repaired. There were even several vehicles parked on the side in a more organized arrangement.Kieran opened the door without saying much.Meanwhile, Ron followed behind him, but the moment he entered, he froze. The room that once felt like a shabby thug hideout had now completely transformed into a real small office.The walls were clean. There were neatly arranged work desks. Several people were busy carrying files and items while talking to one another.Even so, their aura was still different from ordinary office workers. Faint tattoo marks could still be seen on their necks or

The following days passed with almost the same pattern.Kieran arrived at school the earliest, diligently took his exams, then immediately went home to study again until late at night before sleeping for a few hours and repeating everything again the next day.During the five days of exams, his life almost revolved solely around his study desk, exam sheets, and textbooks.He barely even left the classroom during breaks unless it was to use the restroom or buy some drinking water for a moment.Some students started secretly paying attention to him.Especially because the contrast was too obvious compared to their exam room, which was mostly filled with lazy and problematic students.While the others slept, chatted quietly, or gave up halfway through, Kieran always worked on the questions until the end with a serious expression.Even some of the supervising teachers began recognizing him, or more accurately, becoming curious about him.In almost every exam, there was always a teacher wh

The room that had originally been noisy gradually became a little quieter after that question was asked. Some students started truly paying attention to Kieran now, and as if reminded of who he was, they began talking among themselves.“Isn’t he the one who got posted on the forum last week?”“Oh right… the guy who got suspended after fighting.”“Damn, turns out he’s in the same room as us.”The student who had asked earlier finally rose slightly from his seat while staring at Kieran with obvious curiosity.“So what’s the deal? Weren’t you supposed to still be suspended?”Kieran didn't even lift his head immediately. He simply opened his pencil case calmly before answering shortly, “I am suspended.”“Then why are you allowed to take the exam?”“Because the school allowed it.”That flat answer made several people exchange glances with different emotions in their hearts. Some were annoyed while others felt it wasn't hing unusual.One of the other students laughed quietly.“Damn, that’s
