"HEY, PUNK! COME ON, HELP UNTIE ME! MI JIN! WE HAVE TO GO SAVE MI JIN!" Zack shouted at Johan.
Johan rushed toward Zack and quickly untied him. Then they raced toward where Mira (Mi Jin) was being held captive. After a while, they reached the warehouse where Mira was imprisoned. They burst through the door.
"Mira! Mi—" Their shouts cut off abruptly. Dozens of cultists lay before them. Seeing this, Zack's worry for Mira intensified.
"JOHAN! If something happens to Mira, I won't forgive you!"
They ran past the bodies and reached a gate.
"There it is! His room!" Zack shouted, then kicked the door open. But they were horrified by the scene before them. They stuttered, "...Wh-what?!"
Dozens of dogs lay there with broken jaws and legs. A muscular, tan, red-haired man was holding the cult leader, Jondosan, by the neck.
"W-who are you?!" Jondosan cried out.
Baki sneered, "Huh! You don't know me, you bastard?!"
Jondosan looked confused. "I really don't know you, sir! There must be some misunderstanding!"
But Baki's grip on his neck only tightened. "There's no misunderstanding. You don't have to remember me, because I remember you very well. You're the bastard who recommended Cheonliang to my mother!"
Suddenly, a brief memory surfaced in Jondosan's mind. A few years ago, he used to send naive people to Cheonliang in the name of salvation. He had a deal with Shinmyung Cheon—if he sent customers, Shinmyung Cheon would give him money.
Jondosan immediately pleaded, "Sir, I am truly sorry! Please forgive me! I swear I don't do anything like that anymore."
Johan and Zack, who witnessed Jondosan lying through his teeth, immediately shouted, "No! That bastard runs a cult now! You have to deal with him!"
"Ohoho! Lying to me even now? It's okay—you won't be able to anymore." Baki then looked at the boys and said, "Grab that girl and get out of here," pointing at Mira. Zack and Johan immediately rushed to get her. Once outside, Mira asked, "Do you know that red-haired hyung?" Both Johan and Zack shook their heads. "No, we don't. We rushed to save you, only to find him already there."
Suddenly, they noticed Johan's mom carrying a bucket of meat. They immediately understood she had been bringing it to distract the dogs. Johan rushed to his mom and hugged her.
"Mom, it's okay! Everything's okay now."
Johan's mom, who couldn't see anymore, hugged her son back. "Everything's fine? Thank...god..."
Half an hour later, police arrived at the scene. All the events of that night were broadcast worldwide. The reporter had somehow informed the police. When the police found the sect leader, Jondosan, he was already dead, his neck snapped. They questioned Zack, Johan, and Mira, but all three claimed to know nothing. All of the believers were forced into hospitalization for drug rehabilitation, including Johan's mother.

"It's been almost a month since Baki left. Where could he be?" Seongji thought as he watched the news.
Suddenly, shouts came from outside. Vin Jin, who was trying to build a house of cards, was startled by the noise, which resulted in the whole structure collapsing.
"FUCK! I was so close! SO FUCKING CLOSE!" Vin Jin shouted. He grabbed his glasses and went outside to check.
Meanwhile, outside, Warren stood in front of a bunch of goons. "Who the fuck are you?"
Suddenly, Vin Jin came out. Looking at the dozens of men, he asked Warren, "Don't you think they're too old to be your friends?" Warren answered, annoyed, "I don't know who the fuck they are."
The goons shouted, "We are the Back Door gang! We're here to take revenge on Gangdong's Mighty Warren Chae!"
Vin Jin pulled at his hair and said, "I don't care if you're Back Door gang or Front Door gang. But you guys disturbed me at the worst possible moment!"
The goons rushed forward, some carrying metal pipes and chains.
Warren cracked his knuckles and spat to the side. "Tch... This is annoying." He swung first, punching one thug across the jaw and sending him sprawling. But immediately, two more grabbed him from behind.
"Get the fuck off me!" Warren roared, slamming his head backward into one man's nose and elbowing the other in the ribs. He broke free.
Meanwhile, Vin Jin adjusted his glasses and rushed in.
A thug swung a pipe at him, but Vin Jin stepped inside with sharp precision. He hooked the man's leg and tossed him overhead in a brutal throw. The thug crashed onto the pavement, howling in pain.
Another came from the side with a chain. Vin Jin parried the strike with his forearm, grabbed the chain mid-swing, and yanked the man forward. In one smooth motion, he used a shoulder throw, slamming the thug flat on his back and knocking the air out of him.
"Next." Vin Jin sneered.
Meanwhile, Warren was surrounded by four thugs. One attacked with a pipe to his back.
"Arghh!" Warren staggered, then grabbed the nearest thug by the throat. With pure brute strength, he lifted the man and slammed him headfirst into the hood of a nearby car.
"Still standing, huh?!" Warren spat blood and kept swinging.
Vin Jin glanced at him mid-fight, unimpressed. "Tch. You're way too sloppy."
Another thug tried to blindside Vin Jin with a knife. Without hesitation, Vin Jin stepped in, caught the man's wrist, and twisted—bones cracked. He then swept the man's legs out with an inner hook, sending the thug crashing down. Before the man could scream, Vin Jin stomped on his chest, knocking him out cold.
Warren, panting and bruised, had just knocked out two more but was getting overwhelmed by the rest. A pipe came swinging for his head—but at the last second, Vin Jin grabbed the weapon mid-swing, ripped it away, and spun into a clean spinning back kick that sent the attacker flying.
The remaining goons froze, suddenly realizing they weren't fighting two ordinary men.
Vin Jin smirked, glasses glinting. "Too late to run."
Warren wiped blood from his lip, grinning savagely. "Yeah... You bastards are all mine."
The two surged forward again—one by one, the Back Door gang collapsed on the ground.

A large man pinned Eli to the ground, then motioned to punch him. It was the leader of the Back Door gang, Darius. Just then, Eli grabbed Darius's neck chain and rolled with the large man on the ground. He started to choke Darius with the chain. Darius began to squirm, but he couldn't get Eli off him. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a voice echoed:
"Leave him, Eli." But Eli seemed oblivious to it. Seongji put his hand on Eli's shoulder and said, "It's okay now. You don't have to fight anymore. I'm here."
Eli snapped back to consciousness and immediately let the chain go. Darius started gasping for air. He looked around and saw that all his men were lying on the ground. Then he looked at Eli and Seongji with fear in his eyes. He immediately got up and ran away.
Olly, who had been lost in his own imagination, also snapped back to reality.

"EEEK! M-MONSTER!" Warren cried out as Sally applied antiseptic to his wounds.
Vin Jin nearby started laughing at his reaction until Sujin also applied antiseptic to his wounds. "EEEK! UGH! Stop it, stop it! I'm fine!"
But Sujin didn't stop. "Hehe, hold still now, Oppa! Or it's gonna leave a scar."
On the other hand, Sally also scolded Warren. "I give up now. I give up. Jesus, can't you stop fighting?"
Suddenly, Seongji Yuk returned with Eli and Olly. Seeing Eli's battered appearance, everyone asked, "What happened to you? Did you also get in a fight?"
Eli scratched his head and said, "Some...some kind of gang came looking for Warren."
