"Suhyeon, South Gangbuk High gang is very weak compared to God Dogs, And to think they only sent three guys to finish them off." Seonu's voice carried a hint of disbelief as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.
Suhyeon sat calmly on the leather couch, Around him stood his men Taeho, Sigyeong, and Seonu.
"The moment they were caught," Suhyeon said "it was already over, South Gangbuk High never had the chance, How could a group like them face so many powerhouses from the God Dogs? It was decided from the very beginning."
The others nodded in agreement.
----
Bam!
Sechan's fist slammed into Yugyeom's cheek, Yugyeom staggered back, his body battered but still standing Blood streamed from his lip.
Sechan's face was grim, his expression more serious than at any other moment, Bruises painted his face, and his leg carried marks of the battle.
"You're the first since Sun-ho," Sechan said "To make me fight like this."
Without hesitation, he stepped in and drove a punch into Yugyeom's chest, The blow cracked through the air, leaving a vacuum behind it, Yugyeom's body jerked violently, blood spewing from his mouth as he gasped, his ribs aching as though crushed by an iron hammer.
But even in pain, he spun his body low, His shin whipped out and slammed into Sechan's thigh, The strike landed, forcing Sechan off balance.
Both men, teetering, glared into each other's eyes mid-air neither backing down And then, their fists collided, both bodies crashing to the ground with rattling force.
On the other side, Hajun's fight with Seok Kang.
Bam!
Hajun's fist hooked cleanly across Seok's jaw His right followed, then his left, then another right, Each blow drew more blood, spraying from Seok's mouth He staggered, his head snapping back with each strike.
"How?" Seok coughed, his teeth red with blood "How are you guys this much stronger than before?" His tone was a mix of rage and disbelief.
Hajun's face remained calm, He glanced at his knuckles, still clean of blood, then raised his eyes to Seok.
"It's because of him," Hajun said "A man who taught us how to fight properly, How to face our weaknesses, how to turn flaws into strengths The greatest Teacher I've ever met."
Seok's brow furrowed, blood dripping down his chin Hajun's voice carried the conviction.
"Back then, we were nothing Just immature brats throwing fists at weaker kids to feel strong But after meeting him, he disciplined us He made us stronger not just in body, but in mind." Hajun's eyes narrowed "Now, standing here, fighting you it feels like fighting a child Because you fight without conviction or purpose You fight for immaturity And that's why you'll never win."
Seok's heart pounded, His mind told him it was bullshit He growled and charged, his body lowering, arms locking around Hajun's waist in a wrestler's grip.
I'll break him!
But before he could even lift Hajun, before he could even set the motion of a suplex, Hajun's body moved, Power surged through his core, and with a sudden explosive twist, Hajun broke through the hold.
Seok's eyes widened,
What!
In the same motion, Hajun spun, his shoulder lowering, his fist shooting forward His jab was brutal, faster than before, He poured his full strength into it, one hundred percent.
CRACK!
The punch connected clean against Seok's face.
The world spun His vision shattered, His knees buckled.
Seok Kang collapsed, his consciousness ripped away instantly.
Seok lay motionless, Yugyeom, unconscious, was slumped at Sechan's side South Gangbuk High, was finished.
Hajun walked over to Sechan, who stood quietly with his unreadable expression, It only took three God Dogs, to finish South Gangbuk High gang.
As they prepared to leave, a figure stepped.
Jaeha's brows furrowed "Jihyeon, The only Female Executive of South Gangbuk High."
Jihyeon look at them "I'm on your side, I was already recruited By Sun-ho himself days ago, But it was a secret known only to Johan Seong."
They didn't bother, Just nodded.
Without another word, the four of them moved Hajun, Sechan, Jaeha, and now they're newest Executives Jihyeon lee, Sechan carrying the unconscious Yugyeom with them.
To the road back to the God Dogs Base.
----
outside the meeting room, dozens of members chatted in a hall.
Inside, a long V-shaped table Every executive of the God Dogs was seated around it, the golden light above.
At the head of the table sat Johan Seong, calm and composed.
"Now that Yugyeom has joined us," Johan began, his tone was authority "it's time we announce the new rankings of our executives."
Beside him stood Jin Jang, holding a file in one hand, He rose, his expression neutral.
"This file," Jin said, tapping it once, "contains the finalized ranking list, along with each squad's members and responsibilities."
He walked to the board at the front of the room, the marker clicking he began to write.
The names appeared one by one.
Johan Seong — Leader of God Dogs
Sun-ho — Second in Command and Vice leader
Sechan Kang — Third in Command
Hajun Gu — Fourth in Command
Choyun — Fifth in Command
Jaeha Han — Sixth in Command
Daniel — Seventh in Command
Uijin Gyeong — Eighth in Command
Haru Seong — Ninth in Command
Changung Yeom — Tenth in Command
Dongtak Seo — Eleventh in Command
Yugyeom Na — Twelfth in Command
Jihyeon Lee — Thirteenth in Command
Scott Kwon — Fourteenth in Command
Hope Park — Fifteenth in Command
Ivan Park — Sixteenth in Command
Dominic Min — Seventeenth in Command
Mark Sa — Eighteenth in Command
Jin adjusted his coat, continuing casually "As you can see, my name isn't listed here That's because I'm not part of the ranking structure, I'm the Head Advisor of this crew, My job is to manage you all, guide the organization's structure, and make sure none of you burn this place down."
chuckles through the room.
He turned back to the board, writing two more names beneath the others.
Wuhyeong Jin — Nineteenth in Command
Sehun Lee — Twentieth in Command
"The rankings can and will change," Jin said as he placed the marker down "So, if you want to move up, you know what to do, work hard and get stronger."
He turned back to Johan, who nodded slightly.
Jin smiled, glancing around the table "Two months ago, this crew was nothing more than six executives and maybe seventy members Look at us now, twenty executives and four hundred seventy-six members." He raised his hand slightly "We've become one of the strongest major crews We have the potential to challenge anyone."
Sun-ho, sitting quietly near the head of the table, leaned forward "'Potential to' Yes, we do have potential But let's not get carried away."
"To defeat the Workers," Sun-ho paused, his gaze scanning the room "is still out of reach, You have no idea what kind of monsters exist in that organization."
"That's why," he said "we have to keep growing stronger," His eyes met Johan's "We need to make sure the day never comes when we're too weak to defend ourselves."
Jaeha leaned back with a smirk.
Sechan crossed his arms, his face unreadable.
Hajun gave a faint nod beside him.
Jin Jang looked around at them all, twenty executives, each different and dangerous he couldn't help but grin.
