It was the new school year. Daniel was with his friends in his class, chatting and laughing when Mary entered their class again, looking worried.
"Guys, it's been more than a few weeks. I still haven't been able to contact Vin, or know where he is." she said.
"Maybe he got kidnapped?" said Zoe.
"Him? Kidnapped? Yea, fat chance." thought Daniel.
"Have you gone to the police?" asked Mira.
She nodded. "Well, they said they will look into it, but I am not sure, they didn't looked too enthusiastic" she said.
"Don't worry" said Daniel. "I am sure he has gone somewhere. He will come around. I will keep an eye out" he said thinking of using the help of Detective (Chairman) Hong.
As he was thinking about this, Daniel got a message from an unexpected person.
Diego Kang.
After going to the designated place. He and Diego exchanged some small talk. About Charles Choi, the two bodies, etc.
Until Diego opened up about his ambition to create a society in which evil does not exist.
"How will you be able to create that?" asked Daniel.
"You and I can do it. Together we can achieve everything we want. I want you to be my wings" said Diego Kang.
There was a long pause as Daniel thought about the implications of the 1st Generation legend's words.
He knew he was a dangerous and cunning man.
"Anyways. There is another thing I wanted to tell you. Charles Choi isn't dead" he said, shocking Daniel.
"Well, his legacy still remains." he cleared up quickly.
"The four major crews, the system that served as the foundation of his business, someone was tipped off about it and now uses it to their advantage in their region." he said.
"And where is this place?" asked Daniel.
"Busan" said Diego.
"They had this system in place since a long time, but till now posed no threat. But now they plan on quick expansion ever since a key member of their group has been released from prison. The King of Busan. Jinrang." he said.
"You said you were going to be a step ahead of evil so that you could stop them right? He can become the next Choi." he said.
"I will do it. But only for this time since our goals align. I will not be your wings" said Daniel. "Tell me more about him" he added.
"Well I did fight him during my active years in the 1st Generation" said Diego Kang calmly.
"And?" asked Daniel.
"I crushed him" he said nonchalantly.
Daniel wasn't surprised. Diego Kang aka James Lee. He wasn't the legend of 1st Generation for nothing. He had established himself as a force of nature. It was expected.
"Care to tell me more?" he asked.
"Well, I will send some help with you. He will fill you in with information you will be needing" said Diego dismissing him.
That was a few days ago. Assembling the new Allied, with fighters consisting of Eli, Vasco, Zack, Jay and Hudson, he left for Busan along Jaegyeon Na.
