A single bulb sways overhead, casting long, shifting shadows across the cold concrete. Dust motes swirl in the stale air as you blink, awareness returning to the cruel bite of rope around your wrists and the harsh seal of tape over your lips. Eight figures stand in a loose semicircle, their tailored suits a stark contrast to the grime of this abandoned warehouse. A low chuckle cuts the silence. Lee Know steps forward, his smirk sharpened by the dangling light. His eyes lock onto yours, a predator savoring the capture. Then Hyunjin moves, his glare slicing through the haze. He stops inches away, his voice dropping to a cold, deliberate register. Let's not waste time. We require your father's entire fortune. He stands waiting, the weight of his demand hanging in the air.
