SUGARB Chapter 1.1

A sleek black 1d5631bbdc sedan glided to 173b857373 a stop in 6298b40db4 front of the 199be38b56 door, its glossy 690bf52e94 surface gleaming despite 96626c96eb the sudden, ferocious d93078ceef rain soaking it. The downpour only ed3cafe773 seemed to heighten 0f932acaee the car’s eerie d6ba2333f0 majesty.86c29d5175dd84ce

A man stepped out, 2940cd91b4 his eyes scanning the c06548adfb building ahead, its neon cb17677379 sign flashing brightly.b1e87ce9ba58a40e

Even in the darkness, d1b924addd the man stood out.e9d56e8dbfb63fa9

The row of 8ff90d642f black cars lined 7b156dc9f2 up behind him 4155853ed8 and the men 1272e4dda3 gathering around exuded d1130b7de8 a chilling aura, 2757f810f1 but none matched 19d6766763 the presence of cb019f2f50 the man in 3880477f54 the long coat. Tall and 4af0160e6d broad-shouldered, he ad23ef9beb towered over 146c8e6e85 even the ad58bb49ea burliest of 0135d054ae his crew. His eyes, scanning 578780abdd the surroundings, carried f2a1693ec6 a strange, overwhelming 3c21a6b9b6 intensity, as if 3a766c1947 this wasn’t his 2c580272ec first time in 81784cb2dc such a scene.5ff7c6f5f5dfcb4d

As if they’d been 53c687f611 waiting for his words, 915c1375e9 the black-clad group tightened 11c6b91a43 their grips on their bdea97447d weapons.

Screams and the 4a336c618f sound of breaking 1ff02a7d1f bones cut through 90064e55b1 the rain, echoing b19cdc54fd like a violent 35eb787df8 symphony.

Hollow-eyed and 13a751c075 bald, the 873f2343f6 man was 235132ca95 unmistakably a e41f9f8522 gambling addict, 66ad094f9b clothes half-on, 2dd32f36e4 barefoot, and 1ac1335c40 slipping through 9055be2662 the muddy 616cfb4f01 ground in 6e3e70b672 a panic.8ff916408153b894

Having just taken Incheon, acd1980c26 Muyoung had now swallowed 911bced94d Pyeongtaek. Every drug circulating in 91ceda2de2 the area passed through b3ce9d6d30 his hands.

Drugs were hard f9312e1eaa to trace by f7236593fe nature, but Muyoung cb3838e8a0 tracked them down. Especially the c925f38ade ones degraded cee04be038 into cheap abf95afae1 knockoffs—he pursued 89fafb9c7a those with a6fa8068d6 obsessive precision.18129765040c6e64

It was a strange 6c24677d17 pride. Drugs inevitably got 4b8a7f3051 diluted into inferior 9314abf912 versions once distributed, 5a1796b215 so why was 3672a89093 he so fixated 288d6b6eaf on them?

This was how 57fbfa1614 he’d taken Incheon.

But those 90e8eb5a06 who’d tasted baa3b7b3ad power easily 88f1d70f54 lost perspective. Kang thought his 600e7e02fb small empire could 3b94466e21 fend off the bc3efb8c77 threat.

The young 3728876db0 man, bold 544e9a4a56 enough to 8ff4f346db call MuyoungDaepyo-nim, gasped for breath, 1e20aa80e5 glancing between the knife 9db57cf670 in his arm and 676d5c2014 Muyoung’s grip on the 867220ebfa handle.
