If you're going to dance with swords do it properly. For Kim Hak-gwon the word 'coup' was trauma incarnate. He'd lived through two coups and endured a harsh political life under the military regime's ruthless surveillance. He'd been dragged to the Central Intelligence Agency and Agency for National Security Planning multiple times. The brutal torture he endured back then still haunted him with lasting effects. Yet Kim Hak-gwon ultimately achieved his goal of becoming President. He'd even pardoned…-

I think this is the first time. I couldn't help but chuckle at Kim Hak-gwon, who was so anxious he skipped greetings and asked me outright. "This isn't a laughing matter, you know!" Is he acting like this because of Chief Prosecutor Hyun Seong-taek's arrest? Well, it was a big deal after all. An incumbent chief prosecutor had never been arrested since the founding of the country. On top of that, with the Prosecutor General's approval, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office's inspection department cuffed the…

Seon-man's jaw dropped in shock. The man who trampled countless lives in a coup to seize power. Even after retirement, he was a former president who still wielded immense influence, thinking it had faded. The once proud Seon-man’s gaze dimmed as he faced the truth. He probably never imagined someone would dare to threaten him. "Don’t cling to false hopes anymore. The influence you once had, along with all your connections, will soon vanish from power. Consider this your atonement and live like a…

The only thing Choi Seon-man held was a photo of his granddaughter. She must be around eight years old. The picture showed the little girl playing with the bodyguards. In the close-up, Choi Seon-man's face was frozen in a grimace. "You seem to be trying to hide this, but it won't matter. Once I set my mind to it, the President's family will all be dead." Choi Seon-man's hand trembled as he held the photo. "Do you really think you can just waltz into enemy territory unprepared? After all the blood…

The meeting arranged by Daigo Tadashige was a significant event even for yakuza groups that had long competed against each other. For Watanabe Yoshinori, the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and Yamamoto Ken of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi, it was especially meaningful. It was the first time the two had shared a drink since their organizations had split. They say having former allies become enemies is even more terrifying. After their split, they constantly insulted and fought each other, leading to numerous…

Jeong Tae-hoon furrowed his brow as he watched the clash between the police and the cultists. Resistance was fiercer than expected, and now police officers were starting to get injured. "I’m going to catch some flak for this later." Muttering softly, Jeong Tae-hoon extended his hand to the investigator beside him. "Kim, hand me your gun." "What?" Investigator Kim Wan-seong looked startled and replied. "Just give it to me. If this continues, those poor police officers will get hurt…

In response to my greeting, Choi Seon-man nodded with a relaxed smile. "Yes, nice to meet you. Please, have a seat." A cushion was placed where Choi Seon-man gestured. He pushed aside the Go board that was on the table and scrutinized me as we sat facing each other. I felt uneasy as I noticed an unusual gleam in his eyes. "I've heard a lot about you." That was Choi Seon-man’s first comment after examining me for a long while. "I was quite shocked to hear that Lee Yong-hyun from Cheongpung Group…

Japan, along with Korea, was known for its excellent public safety in Asia. No, it was renowned globally for that. It was a country where one could wander around at night without a care in the world. But that was a thing of the past. The Self-Defense Force had been deployed to Tokyo, and the police were becoming increasingly armed. As if to mock that, the fights among crime organizations grew fiercer with each passing day. The chaos reached alarming levels, and innocent civilians found themselves…

I never thought the alliance between the Black Dragon Society and the Russian Mafia would last long. After taking over the Japanese drug market, I anticipated that small disputes would eventually lead to major conflicts—if not outright war. But it was absurd to see them scrambling for profits even before anything had truly begun. In just a few days, I had to meet with Choi Seon-man. Yet their greed was derailing the most crucial tasks in Japan. This was something I couldn't just let slide. "Aren't…

I checked the email from Igor at the Myeong-dong office. The email contained photos and videos. While the videos and photos were downloading, I read the report Igor sent. The video file was quite large, and it would take some time to download. I decided to check the photos first. One showed Gulbuddin's face clearly. His face was covered in grime, but it matched the one from the photo I had seen before. After a long wait, the download finished, and the video began with a scene of entering a…
