What is the largest crime syndicate in Korea?

If there are a hundred, there are a hundred, if there are ten, there are ten, and I would probably choose one heart.

However, it is difficult to view their image as a simple criminal organization.

Before we knew it, Ilsim was protecting the residents within his district and guaranteeing their commercial rights.

Rather, the prevailing opinion is that Ilsim’s area is much safer than the association, which has many loopholes in protecting the entire country.

Thanks to this, they have come to be called not only a criminal organization, but also another government.

In reality, they did not commit murder or extortion against civilians.

So, at this point in time, what is the worst criminal organization that even robs civilians?

Probably, it would be ‘double slaughter’.

The conditions for joining are strict, requiring you to be a B-class hunter or higher.

Due to these conditions, the group size is not large, but their military power is far greater than that of other organizations.

They have a history of robbing banks belonging to the association three times, and have also occupied large marts and department stores.

In the process, they took hostage members of the association they had captured and extorted money from them.

As their impressive resumes grew, their confidence began to soar.

And this time, the twins’ goal is…

It is a large mart that straddles the border of Ilsim District.

They were usually reluctant to have trouble with Ilsim.

In a situation where the association has already taken a hit, if you touch Ilsim, it will be like making two enemies.

But this time, I caught a great opportunity that was hard to give up.

The fact is that the vice president of Ilsim has even come out to a large mart.

Whenever she appeared in the media, the image of her as a beautiful third-generation chaebol was always prominent.

Recently, they showed a performance of cutting a tombstone in front of the association…

Judging from the fact that he is usually surrounded by escort guards, the prevailing opinion is that he is probably a B-class hunter at best.

If you take her hostage, you will get a huge amount of money from Ilsim, as well as the honor of capturing an important person.

“Brother, but isn’t there something a bit strange?”

The subordinate irritates the Ssangsalbeol team leader who was running the happiness circuit like that.

Thanks to that, the scar carved into his scalp flashes.

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s so suspicious that a big shot like the vice president of Ilsim would come to a regular mart with only four bodyguards.”

It is certainly unusual.

I heard that Na Hyun, the vice president of Ilsim, is a person who is famous for not coming out much…

“The woman who gave us the information… is suspicious. If they have this kind of information, they could deal with Choi Na-hyun themselves, so why would they bother asking for our help?”

At his younger brother’s words that scratch his pride, the twins’ leader, Hyung-taek, raises his sunglasses.

He looks at his brother with a solemn expression.

“It’s probably some kind of test.”

“Test…?”

“Now, times are changing. The association has already lost the trust of the people. The members of the National Assembly are constantly committing crimes and corruption, and instead, the public sentiment is focused on them.”

He says, wearing black leather gloves.

A pair of gloves tightly wrapped around long fingers catches the eye.

“Some are planning a new government to replace the incompetent association.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“You idiot! The new government is trying to decide whether to bring us into their power or not based on our abilities!”

He says, showing a familiar glass bottle.

Inside, there were pills equal to the number of people in the twin-killer group.

“But… I feel like I’m being used as a lab rat. How can I trust that medicine…”

“Hey, that’s why I did the ingredient analysis. The effect was certain!”

“…”

The younger brother kept his mouth shut at the captain’s firm words.

His long, curly hair dances.

“If there’s a group that can endlessly produce this kind of medicine, they’ll definitely be able to easily surpass the Association.”

He looked down at the mart from the roof of the abandoned building.

It seems like the captain has already made up his mind.

“So… we have to get in line first. We have to be hired first to get a high position.”

Soon he turned his head and patted his brother’s shoulder.

The leader of the Ssangsalbeol spoke to him in a trustworthy voice.

“Then you too will live without getting blood on your hands.”

“Thank you for thinking that far, brother…”

The younger brother, moved by his older brother’s deep meaning, has a moved expression on his face.

Leaving him behind, the captain shouted.

To 20 AB-class hunters.

“Let’s go, today is the queen bee hunt.”

The hunters, each armed with a deadly weapon, bow their heads in unison to show respect.

The masks they wore all had a sinister wasp mark engraved on them.

「—.」

“The meat is so delicious!

Siho holding a toothpick for tasting.

Every time she picks up meat, her fox ears flutter.

A fox that quickly eats all the meat that is grilled with quick movements.

The expression on the woman grilling the meat becomes awkward at that sight.

“Excuse me… Someone else needs to eat it too…”

“Oops… Sorry!”

Siho, who had barely come to her senses after hearing her words, bows her head and apologizes.

And then I put the 4 packs of ribs I ate in a hurry into the cart.

I stared down at that sign.

“If you put that much in, even your mother would have forgiven you.”

“I guess so?”

Siho giggled and picked up the shopping cart.

And then he hurries to the next vegetable display.

As I was staring at her back, my eyes went to her butt.

There’s no tail.

As I was thinking that, a small noise suddenly made my hair stand on end.

From far away, I thought I heard a faint sound of a person screaming.

“Team Leader Heuksa.”

At that sound, a message from the security guard came through the earphones I was wearing.

I have a strange feeling.

Because the only time other agents would send a radio message was in a ‘crisis situation’.

“Oh, tell me.”

“Code A. This is an emergency.”

“What’s going on?”

“A pair of wasps appeared at the entrance to the mart.”

“Why those kids?”

These are the guys who originally never went near Ilsim’s area.

What kind of wind suddenly blew and hit this place?

“Yes, it seems they knew in advance that the Vice President was coming here. They’ve taken over the counter and are holding hostages.”

It looks like the information was leaked even though the security team had few personnel.

What I mean is, these kids are serious.

Probably most of the members were mobilized.

“First, request reinforcements from the headquarters. I will join right away.”

“Understood… Vice President?”

While Daewon was answering, Nahyun snatched his earphones away.

“Oh, Heuksa. I’m fine, so just take good care of Siho there.”

“No, Vice Chairman. How could I, the head of the security team, leave your side?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay-. We’ll take care of hiding well.”

The vice president reassured me in a very relaxed manner.

I wanted to join the main force somehow, but her orders were absolute.

I stared at the monster holding the green onions with a blank expression, my lips pursed tightly.

Thin wrists and calves with no visible muscle.

That woman… if you leave her alone, she’ll definitely be taken hostage.

“Okay…”

“Yeah, if Shiho gets hurt, you and I will all die by the enemy, so be careful!”

The radio was cut off.

shit…

The vice president’s last words stabbed my heart.

It’s sad that my sister-in-law’s love isn’t mine…

But that jealousy soon disappeared.

“—!”

Because the sound of a twin-shot hunter’s gunshot was heard from the entrance of the mart.

Because of that, everyone in the mart froze.

Yeah, what’s important now isn’t jealousy.

When I finally came to my senses.

The monster in question came to me in a hurry and asked.

“What the hell is going on?”

“They are double murderers. They are robbers who take public facilities hostage and extort money.”

“Oh, what should I do… Is the vice president okay?”

“You’ll probably be okay, since we have three agents attached to you.”

Even in this situation, I thought of the Vice President first.

Well, personally he’s not bad.

But I haven’t admitted it yet!

“—!”

All the lights in the mart start to go out.

Soon, the once-glorious mart was reduced to nothing but deep darkness.

“Boy, the lights are out!”

“Listen carefully to what I say from now on.”

As darkness falls, Siho’s eyes sparkle.

Wild, vertical eyes like a fox.

Thanks to this, it was easy to identify her even during a power outage.

“This fire was put out on our side.”

“Yes…?”

“Siho, please hide in a quiet place for now.”

“What about Mr. Black Death?”

“I’m going to go on a hornet hunt.”

It wasn’t just Siho whose eyes sparkled in the darkness.

Because I too am more accustomed to darkness than light.

Soon, heavy footsteps can be heard from afar.

Following that sound, I carefully placed my body against the stall.

And the moment the sound of footsteps approaches right in front of your nose.

He snapped his fingers and pulled a dagger out of his sleeve.

He grabbed it and thrust it into the neck of the robber who had jumped out from around the corner.

Siho’s fox eyes sparkle at the sight of him being subdued with a single stroke.

But, it can’t end like this.

There’s no reason why wasps are called hornets.

Because they are as fast and numerous as wasps.

When the colleague doesn’t return, two wasps approach the tool display case.

But when they arrived, all they saw was the cold, fallen corpse of their comrade.

“Damn it, here it is!”

The moment one of them turned his head and screamed.

Approach him and time your moment to take out your gun.

One second to point the gun at me.

At that exact moment, I grab the bastard’s gun and twist it.

The twisted muzzle spits fire.

Soon the bullet spread out and pierced the forehead of my companion.

It didn’t even take 5 seconds to deal with the two B-class hunters.

“Are you okay?”

The monster looks at me with worried eyes.

He held onto the stand and stuck his face out.

“Are you talking about me?”

Just pretend to care.

5 seconds is enough for these B-grade bastards.

“As you can see, I’m fine…”

Take advantage of the moment when your head is tilted.

A sharp light rushes through the darkness.

I instinctively twisted my body to avoid the light.

The true identity of the brilliance was two blades.

Pretty fast speed.

At this rate, I’m at least an A-class hunter…!

Plus, it’s sleek, as if it’s been working together for a long time.

“…!”

Two men with similar faces emerge from the darkness.

Are they twins…?

They all assume a pose, their eyes covered by their bald heads.

And he swung his sword at the same time with a nimble, unadorned movement.

Side and left nape of the neck.

It is an attack that hits different places at the same time.

“This is unavoidable…!”

There’s nothing I can do.

Instead of avoiding a fatal neck attack, you allow yourself to be hit in the side.

And instead.

He stretched out his sleeves and pulled out the medium-length sword he had been hiding.

Grab it by twisting your wrist as you pull it out.

I swung it with all my might and cut down the bastards as they attacked.

“—!”

The bodyguard, whose hands were empty, instantly draws his sword and swings it.

The two wasps, who were bewildered by the technology they had never seen before, ended up with their necks split open, just like their bewildered faces.

And then it rolled across the floor with a heavy sound.

“Haa…”

He staggered and grabbed hold of one side of the stall.

I stupidly gave my side to two A-class hunters.

Red blood flows down and soaks the floor of the supermarket.

I stared at the blood.

“We can’t protect the Vice President like this…”

As I was thinking that, a shadow suddenly fell over me.

When I raised my head, there before my eyes was Siho, the being I had always called a demon.

“I told you to hide, so why did you come here?”

“You got hurt.”

“This is nothing. You should hurry up and…”

As I said that, Siho poked my side with his finger.

At that moment, a stinging sensation rose up and I frowned.

“Ugh…”

“What’s okay? You’re hurt like this…”

Siho immediately reached out and wrapped his hand around my side.

Thanks to this, her once white palms gradually became stained with black blood.

“What are you doing now…?”

“That’s the only thing I’m good at.”

The fox’s eyes gleam in the darkness.

Soon, a milky light begins to glow softly from her palm.

I stared blankly at the light, as if I was possessed.
