Minseo opened his eyes only to see that he's in a familiar grimy room. He sighed and groaned, lolling his head back and stared up at the ceiling that he doesn't even want to question to how it it got so dirty. His arms and wrists were restricted and tied to the arms of a small wooden chair.

He put his head back up straight and looked around, tapping his fingers on the light wood, just waiting.

It wasn't too long before a person he considers an old friend walked in, two younger men were following him close behind. Minseo smiled widely at the man as he approached.

"I like this little routine we have going on." Minseo chirped. The man folded his arms and sighed, he's never happy to see Minseo.

"Let's not make this a thing." He stated and Minseo pouted. "Get the things." He ordered the younger guys. Minseo caught the eye of one of them and he looked the guy up and down, a smirk on his thick lips. The guy frowned and left to get the 'things' with his friend.

"He's nice. I would mind seeing him again in... How much time is there usually between our meetings?" Minseo asked and looked quizzingly at the man who was leaning against one of the walls, his arms crossed and his face blank.

"Four months, usually. You work like clockwork." He answered even though he would like to not even be able to answer the question.

"Well, let's see if he likes me better in four months. Oh hey!" He exclaimed. "You should take my shirt off if your actually gonna torture me or whatever this time. I've been working out and my body is pretty perfect now, not gonna lie. That would impress him for sure." He suggested. The man's mouth hung open at the fact Minseo was so calm about this situation. Then again, he usually is.

"Yeah, I'm not gonna do that." He said and walked over to Minseo and leaned forward, resting his hands on his thighs so his head was level with Minseo's. The two younger men walked back in pulling along a table decorated with syringes. Minseo's eyes widened excitedly at the scene and his mouth moulded into an 'O'.

"I like where this is going. You've not done this in a while!" Minseo said and laughed loudly. "I'm excited!" He exclaimed.

The man walked to the table and picked up a syringe and admired it.

"How much did you steal from us this time? I don't bother counting these days." The man asked tiredly.

"Let's just say I stole a lot." Minseo answered, playfulness present in his tone.

"How much?" He asked one of the younger men.

"About ₩1,000,000 worth, sir." One of them answered. Minseo started to laugh, trying hard to hold it in so he bit his bottom lip. The man's face dropped at the number and glared at Minseo.

"Why would you need ₩1,000,000 worth of illegal chemicals?!" He yelled making Minseo stop laughing immediately and look sadly at the man.

"Well if you must know, there's a little bit of a war going on. I used a lot of my -I mean- our stuff, a couple of days ago. Killed about 10 people, looked like I bathed in blood afterwards." He explained. "You see, I managed to come up with this serum that causes people to actually cough up their-"

"-Enough!" The man yelled and slapped Minseo across the face. He froze and his eyes didn't focus, his cheek stinging slightly. "Pay me back that money or I'll make you wish you used those own pathetic serums on yourself." He threatened.

Minseo looked up at the man, his eyes looked dazed and unfocused.

"No. You can't hit me unless I refuse to do what you ask." He said in a quiet voice the man has never heard him use before. "You can just plainly hit me."

"You stole from me, again. I can do to you as I please." He spat through gritted teeth. The man tapped the needle of the syringe in his hand and walked over to Minseo. He turned his arm around so the vein in his upper forearm was exposed.

"You can't just do as you fucking please!" Minseol yelled in such rage, it terrified the man and his younger assistants. "Live like that, and you'll leave everyone behind you to clean up your mess. That's not right. If you make a mess, you've got the responsibility to clean up after yourself." He said in a hushed but menacing tone. "You don't want your family to be picking up the pieces, do you? That's awfully selfish of you Mr Choi."

Choi stared at Minseo who was staring off into space. He'd never seen this side to him before, and it terrified him. Minseo slowly turned and looked Choi in the eyes.

"Well go on then. Make a mess." He prompted. Choi hesitated and looked down at Minseo's exposed vein.

"Why are you such a hypocrite? You don't have a care in the world. You leave destruction in your path and don't even care for anyone else who it may inconvenience." Choi asked. Minseo studied his face.

"Because of exactly that. I don't care for anyone. There's no one in this world who I care for dearly enough to change myself for, and no one cares for me like that either." He stated. Choi's stomach dropped at his explanation. He really had nothing to lose. "Now are you going to stick that needle in me or not?"

Choi frowned and moved away from Minseo. He tried to read Minseo's expression but his stoic face didn't give even a glint of any emotion away. The threat Minseo made towards his family nagging at him.

"Untie him." He ordered. The two younger men hesitated. "I said untie him!" He bellowed. The two scrambled over to Minseo and untied him. They stepped away and made room for Misneo to stand.

"Good decision." Minseo muttered and walked to Choi, he stopped right next to him and turned his head so his mouth was by his ear. "You wouldn't your family to be left with the bloody results of your actions, now would we? Bloody actions have even messier consequences." He said, venom dripping off his tongue. He chuckled deeply before grabbing Choi's hand that was still holding onto the syringe. He guided his hand up to his own smiling face and dragged the needle across its skin from the hollow of his cheek down to his jawline, a thin red line following behind the metal. "If it makes you feel a little better." He muttered with a sly smirk.

Choi watched in pure shock as Minseo continued to walk out the room. His face started to burn slightly and his flesh felt hot. He laughed to himself as he realised that if Choi had injected that into him he would surely have died.

"Idiot. A dead man can't kill your family." He chuckled to himself as he walked out the familiar building. He knew his way around here.

Minseo walked up to the Malevolent building and saw Hyerim walking out, her forearm bandaged up and he shook his head in disappointment of her repeated actions.

He proceeded to walk into the reception and headed upstairs where he saw Sohee and Kai Ling. Kai covered up her bandages with clothing and tried not to make a fuss, but there was no covering her busted up face.

Sohee smiled as she saw Minseo and Kai turned to see who she was smiling at. Her face dropped when she looked at Minseo.

"What's happened to your face?" Kai asked bluntly. Minseo smiled a cheesy grin.

"None of your business, little one." He teased and patted her head. She slapped his hand away and scoffed.

"You've been gone for like two or three days and you come back with a horrific cut or burn on your face. So excuse me if I'm interested." She said, sass in her voice.

"Two days? Man I must have been out cold." He laughed to himself.

"You were knocked out?" Sohee asked. Minseo nodded and walked away, not wanting to answer their questions so he just left.

"Walk away, we'll ask you at some other point." Kai called to him.

"Mhm, sure you will." He answered sarcastically.

He walked the corridors in search for Ryota but only got to the 5th floor before there was a faint 'bang' sound, the building rumbling with it. Minseo paused and looked up to the ceiling, small pieces of rubble flaking down and showered him gently.

He frowned as he didn't know what was going on. A couple of seconds passed before there was a second bang, louder this time and the building felt as if it was shifting. Larger pieces of the ceiling fell down around him. The sounds of screams confirmed to him that the building indeed, was being attacked and he needed to get out.

He turned to see Ryota sprinting past him, his long legs carrying him quickly and smoothly to the stairs and disappeared down them.

Ryota flinched as a third explosion made the whole building tremor. The explosions were getting lower and lower on the building that was slowly being blown to pieces.

He reached the reception and ran outside, running a little more before stopping and looking up at his building.

The top third of the building was gone, large metal support beams were the only things standing in their place. He instinctively flinched again as there was a fourth and fifth explosion seconds apart from each other, destroying the second third of his building.

He ran back closer to the building where surviving workers were running out and gathering.

"Move! Get away! It's going to collapse and you don't want to be in its path!" Ryota yelled and the staff followed his orders and ran to safety.

He stood and watched as glass and concrete rained down. His eyes going back to the reception door where he saw Taeyang running back through. His eyes widened and he watched as Taeyang went to the reception desk and looked as if he was searching frantically for something.

"Tae! Get out!" He yelled but Taeyang couldn't hear him over the sound of another explosion. "What's he looking for?" He muttered to himself. He watched Taeyang open the reception staff door and then it clicked.

He was looking for Nana.

It all hit him when he saw the doctor running out the building.

Panic shot Ryota's heart like a bullet and adrenaline pumped through his veins quickly.

Mina.

Going against his own instructions he sprinted into the crumbling building again and headed for the hospital area. He ducked down as there was an explosion only a few floor above him and the ceiling started to collapse, but it didn't slow him down.

He burst through the hospital facility door and immediately fell to the floor as the impact of a bomb on the floor above detonated. The heat from the fire upstairs was seeping down to where he was, making him more determined to get Mina as he didn't see her escape. He sure as hell wasn't about the leave her in here to burn.

"Mina?!" He yelled, but couldn't hear her response. He frantically looked around for her and his heart stopped for a second as he saw her hand and arm resting on the floor, her body concealed by one of the beds. "Mina!" He yelled as he ran to where she was lying.

He crouched down next to her half conscious body and brushed a lock of her dyed red hair out of her face. Her eyes fluttered at the action and Ryota couldn't help but feel a little relieved that she was alive and awake.

He got her in the position for him to carry her bridal style but suddenly a bomb went off on the floor they were on.

Heat blasted their bodies and Ryota crouched over Mina, trying to protect her delicate body from the raging heat and flying shrapnel. Mina wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into the crook of his neck, he could feel her shaking from terror.

When the worst of the explosion passed he lifted her up in his arms. He grunted as his injured arm was in agony, he just pushed the pain aside and was focused and determined to get Mina out.

He kept his head down and ran out the hospital area that was now mostly in flames. He stopped for a second as he saw that a large part of the ceiling had caved in and was obstructing their path out. His eyes scanned for an exit and they stopped as they locked onto a small opening.

He ran over to it and luckily it was just large enough for them to get through.

"Make yourself small." He said to Mina who nodded and curled up as small as she could in Ryota's arms. He breathed in and side stepped through the gap, grazing his back as the fit wasn't perfect and he didn't want Mina to get hurt.

They finally got through and the large doors were in sight. Mina turned to see them and let out a small breath in relief.

They both gasped as they got out into the open and fresh clean air filled their lungs. Ryota collapsed and caught his breath, not paying any attention to his injury that was practically screaming in pain.

He felt someone's hand on his shoulder trying to help him up. He looked and saw Jae Eun. His mouth was moving but Ryota couldn't hear any sounds coming from him. He frowned and looked confused at Jae. Then the shrill ringing in his ears started to sound and he knew the explosions wrecked his ears temporarily.

He accepted Jae's assistance up and then hurried to help a trembling Mina to her feet. She clung to him as she wasn't steady on her jelly like legs and Ryota rested his hand on her lower back as he stared up to his destroyed and burning empire.

The flames licked the sides of the building that remained and the rest crumbled and fell to the street in a cloud of dust.

Everything he's worked so hard to build, now gone in matter of minutes.

He knew who's work this was, and now he's out for blood. He's a changed man but when the past come back to bite you, he'll bite back even harder.

Kyungil leisurely walked to the edge of the tallest building in the area and stopped. He took in a lungful of the polluted city air and let out a content sigh.

He checked his watch and hummed.

12:57PM.

Three minutes to go before the show started.

"Everything's in place?" He asked, just to make sure, he didn't want anything to ruin this spectacular scene for him.

"Yes sir." One of his men confirmed.

"Brilliant. Let's get this show started then, shall we?" He said paused for a second. "Put some music on. I want there to be a soundtrack for this." He ordered. "Put some intense music on, I'm in that kind of mood today."

The men scrambled around and tried finding something for him to play his music. Kyungil saw and sighed.

"Never mind. I'll sort it myself." He groaned dramatically. He reached into his suit jacket pocket and pulled out his phone and some earphones. He put the earphones into his ears and got the song ready. He closed his eyes and took a breath before setting his eyes on the building directly in front of him. "3 o'clock! The shows about to start!" He exclaimed happily, pressing play and the song began.
(Play the song that's in the beginning of the chapter for a full effect.)

He stood straight and lifted up his arms like a conductor in a orchestra. He gently swayed his arms and smiled, pointing to the building seconds before the first bomb detonated. He laughed loudly and continued to sway his hands. A couple seconds later he pointed to another part or the building which followed another explosion.

The pointed for the third one but it didn't detonate. He frowned before he heard an explosion in far in the distance. He turned around and saw the water from the Han river high in the air, the scenes of people running and screaming made him laugh.

"They found one of them." He chuckled and turned his attention back onto the main building. His eyes lit up as he watched the flames burn away at the building he'd learnt to loath.

He pointed again and again and again. The once strong and tall building now wilting and withering away before his own eyes. He watched the masses of people who worked for them run out, fearing for their lives.

"You cleared the roads right? No innocents?" He checked.

"No sir. We blocked the roads and paths." Another man confirmed.

"Good." Kyungil stated.

He looked back down to the entrance and saw the familiar mop of bright red hair. He smirked and held his hand out.

"Pass me the seeing things." He ordered. One of the men nodded and handed him a pair of binoculars. Kyungil held them up to his eyes and watched Ryota run back into the building. He laughed loudly. "What an idiot. It's like he wants to be killed." He lowered the binoculars and checked the time.

He smiled and pointed again to the building, making it seem like he was controlling the explosions. His grin grew wider and madder was it finally got to the ground floor.

"I hope little Zeno is okay." He said to himself in fake worry. He watched the entrance for a while until the mop of red hair emerged from the burning building, this time he had a woman in his arms. "Oh. Who are you young lady?" He questioned in a curious tone, bringing the binoculars back up to his eyes.

He saw the girl huddled in Ryota's arms. He watched as Ryota was aided to his feet and kept an arm around his lady friend.

"Take pictures of the red haired woman. How cute is it? They match." He chuckled. He was about to lower his binoculars and leave the roof but another pair running from the flames caught his eyes. "Oh look. It's our little Wolf, with his own lady friend. Shame..." He said. "Take pictures of her too." He ordered. He turned around throwing the binoculars at one of his men and pulled the earphones from his ears. "They'll be useful for when the time comes."
