"Two well-known owners of Medical Companies, Mr. Yang and Mr. Han, are facing a major challenge in their business." All of them are silent as they watch the news through the television they have in the motel room they are staying. "These two companies are the top sources of the medicine our nation's hospitals use. There were a lot of speculations before that the medicines they produce are not safe but there are no pieces of evidence provided so this issue was immediately dismissed. However, we were given video and audio evidence which are proof of the companies wrong-doings. The video we are going to play is disturbing and needs parental guidance."

The video which Soomi gathered during their mission is now being shown on the screen and seeing the captured children in the tube made Soomi's heart clench with fear and sorrow. She unconsciously bit her thumb, gnawing the flesh a bit too hard as her anxiety rises as she continues watching the news. After the video was shown, the recorded audio is now being played for the whole nation to hear.

In-yeop and Chorong went inside Mr. Yang's office with the medicine inside the bag Chorong carries. The security let them get in without any checkpoints maybe because Mr. Yang has instructed them not to and that's how he trusts In-yeop a little too much. The old man doesn't just trust In-yeop, he adores the guy with the way he fights and does his missions. This adoration will change once he knew what In-yeop is planning against him.

"Welcome back, boys!" Mr. Yang greeted them with enthusiasm and stood up from his office chair. He made his way to the receiving area located at the center of his office and gestured for them to take their sit before taking his.

In-yeop grabbed the bag from Chorong and sat on the couch across from Mr. Yang. He opened its zipper and got the tube of the liquid medicine out. Mr. Yang's eyes immediately widened as he leaned closer to what In-yeop is holding, delighted with what he is seeing.

"What a beautiful sight to see," Mr. Yang said almost maniacally as he kept on staring at the tube on In-yeop's hands. "Here. Let me hold it," Mr. Yang outstretches his hand to receive what he was waiting for but In-yeop kept the tube in his hands.

"The deal," he started.

"Has been done," Mr. Yang answered even before In-yeop could finish his sentence. "The island you desire is now named after you." The old man raised two fingers and one of his men immediately got something from his desk and handed it to him even though he hasn't said anything yet.

Mr. Yang placed the paper on the table and placed a pen on top of it. "It's waiting for your signature then the island is all yours."

In-yeop was about to grab the paper but Mr. Yang pulled it towards him again with his finger and held his other hand up, a gesture that he wants the medicine before he signs the paper. "Not so fast. The medicine."

"Why don't I sign first, then the medicine," In-yeop equally taunted with a smirk, not minding that he is dealing with one of the dangerous men he knows and not minding whether he is surrounded by his men.

Mr. Yang laughed with his display of bravery and snapped his fingers repeatedly. Chorong swallowed hard with that gesture because he doesn't know if the old man is truly happy or amazed with how his boss acts or he is starting to feel annoyed.

"I really admire that attitude," Mr. Yang snickered. "Alright, you sign." He pushed the paper towards In-yeop and leaned on the couch, crossing his arms against his chest in the process. His eyes are fixated on the tube in In-yeop's hand as the guy signed the paper. After affixing his signature, he handed the tube to the old man who the latter immediately grabbed. Mr. Yang let out an audible sigh now that the tube is in his hands.
