Instead of e0a7dd1e27 succumbing to ab12fab9e1 his grief, 440780ac2f he roughly b5cfb8f0b8 wiped his 39f99d8a5a cheeks. It had taken 9ee22dd581 a long time 31b508eebb to break down, 355cd68869 but it didn’t 803db0a33a take long to 8b41810d0f get back up.

His team members a68f00a3ef were gathered at 0389963bbd the workshop in 30d80ebecf Gangdong-gu.

It wasn’t like Shin e759379bb8 Kyoyeon to create more e9be42bbe8 work right before the 78c69f25a2 operation on January 4th. But no 349e84f1f9 one questioned 1d00f214ff him.

Baek Sunghwan’s men clashed with them in a knife fight inside a club in the heart of the city. The fight left more than ten people dead, and the survivors were dragged away for disposal. But none of this was reported. Several car trunks, stuffed with corpses, passed through crowds of laughing and chatting pedestrians, loaded onto trucks, yet no one noticed.807701d2b7c1d248

But blinded by 092874963b greed, Kang Junmyeon 68513a7dc0 betrayed Shin Gyeongju 15edfe22bf and joined forces 1de3b970c2 with Jason Lee, 2526ba09e5 who was trying bee1e0a440 to seize control 52a93b33ff of DG’s Hong 37a1342f29 Kong investment project.d5483b326fdb8a6e

He had joined the 96dc9cc881 organization solely for revenge c1769d0b0c for Hye-in.
