The ride back to the headquarters was quiet with neither of them uttering a word to indulge in a conversation and the latter two—Hendery and San—were given a lift mid-way, at Hidden Cellar.

The door that lead to Yeonjun's room was pushed open by the owner himself and behind him trailed the rest.

Gathering around the ring of the table, Soyoung noticed Hendery and San each clutch a black suitcase in their hands, "So," Yeonjun began, earning everyone's attention.

"Hwiyoung is associated with Dragon, could be solely him or the whole of his group. So, our only way of getting information about Dragon is through Hwiyoung himself" Yeonjun explained, a few heads nodded in agreement as he spoke while the others simply listened.

"According to Xiaojun, Hwiyoung must probably visit Labyrinth Casino to meet someone belonging to the gang. The Dragons' identity is clandestine, so, Hwiyoung is our catch" He added, eyes drifting onto everyone, making sure they heard him clearly.

"And what's your initiative?" Mark asked with a raise of his single shoulder, eyes settled on the informant.

"We'll be going to Labyrinth Casino and taking them down" Those words caught Soyoung off guard, "What?" Yeri uttered out, furrowing her brows in bewilderment, sounding just as surprised as Soyoung's expression spoke itself.

"Yeah" Yeonjun nodded as a confirmation, pushing the rim of his thin, delicate glasses higher on the bridge of his nose.

"That wouldn't work" Mark spoke up, sliding his hand in his pocket as he slightly raised his chin, "Pitching in unarmed without being acquainted with the number on the other side, then taking them down is only now a possibility" He added as a matter-of-fact.

"Right" Yeonjun nodded, before raising his hand and gesturing at Hendery and San and they watched as the suitcases were placed on the table. Opening the black cases uncovered something Soyoung had least expected to reveal itself— handguns, knifes, brass knuckles and ammunition belt filled with loose cartridges.

"What the.." She trailed off wide-eyed and a soft yet deep chuckle was heard emerging from her side, knowing it had belonged to Mark.

"Everyone in this room, except San and Soyoung," The informant pointed out at the two mentioned, "Are combatant. And now we are armed, that should answer you Mark" He said raising an eyebrow at Mark who curtly nodded.

"Combatant? So you all know how to deal with weapons?" Soyoung asked, eying everyone and they nodded, "We are trained to, just in case" Hendery answered.

"And you?" She points at San, directing her question towards the boy who was an exception along with her, "I'm always the getaway driver so I'm relatively non-combatant" San replied with a shrug and the girl nodded at the new information, only then realizing this probably wasn't their first time upon noticing how they seemed to have some reliable plan of action.
