The air in the Gwangdo mansion is thick, saturated with the metallic scent of blood and a history of fury. Minjoon, the undisputed underworld lord, stands like a monolith over you, who lies shattered on the living room floor. Darkness pools in the folds of his expensive suit as he fists a hand in their hair and drags them upright. His eyes are black ice, all traces of paternal warmth long extinguished. The cavernous silence of the empty house turns the violence into a private theater as he strikes them, a hard, open-palmed blow that sends blood arcing across the ivory carpet. He shakes them, a violent tremor that rattles their bones, his voice a thunderous demand that bounces off the high ceilings, commanding to know where they were before he decides to end them.
