Felix was back at their main faculty getting his wounds looked at. While recapping on his mission.

"You are lucky this wasn't any deeper." Chan said, cleaning his gash. "I will give you some medicine for the pain but it will heal in a couple of weeks. It shouldn't leave a scar though"

"Thanks Chan hyung," Felix said, grimacing from the sting. "Okay, so I was able to download some data before they found me." Felix grabbed the micro usb out of his watch and handed it to Seungmin.

"That's great! Now we can figure out what the 뱀 눈 Clan's next moves are," Seungmin said, grabbing the usb from Felix and plugging it into his computer. Him and I.N started typing away together working their way through the information.

For years, Felix and his team had dedicated themselves to unraveling the web of chaos spun by the infamous 뱀 눈 Clan, also known as the Snake Eye Clan. The clandestine criminal organization had emerged seemingly overnight five years ago, swiftly spreading its influence across Seoul and beyond. Ruthless and calculated, they thrived on the shadows, dealing in black market goods, drug trafficking, money laundering, and rumors of even darker trades—trafficking and contract killings.

The team's target was clear: dismantle the Clan and bring their mysterious leader to justice. But the task had proven far more complex than they ever anticipated.

Felix, the youngest leader in their division's history, was a prodigy. His sharp instincts, unparalleled combat skills, and ability to keep a cool head under pressure made him the backbone of the team. Despite his age, his leadership commanded respect, and he had never failed to protect his team. But the Snake Eye Clan's ability to stay two steps ahead was starting to wear on him.

Then there was Seungmin, the team's tech wizard. No one could rival his ingenuity when it came to technology. Seungmin's custom-built gadgets had saved their lives more times than they could count, and his ability to hack into anything made him the team's secret weapon. He rarely showed his emotions, but his loyalty to the group was unshakable.

Chan, the weapons specialist, was the team's powerhouse. With his expertise in firearms and combat, he was both their enforcer and their protector. A perfectionist at heart, he never missed a target and often served as the team's voice of reason when tensions ran high.

Han, the driver, was the team's speed demon. His reflexes were unmatched, and he could handle any vehicle, whether it was a bulletproof SUV or a flimsy motorbike. His quick thinking and adaptability had pulled the team out of tight spots on countless occasions.

Finally, there was I.N., the youngest member. What he lacked in field experience, he made up for in sheer brilliance. I.N. was their communications expert, keeping a watchful eye over his teammates from the safety of their base. His hacking skills were unrivaled, and there wasn't a system or network he couldn't crack. While his cheerful demeanor often masked his sharp intellect, the team knew just how valuable he was.

The five of them had been through hell together, forging an unbreakable bond through years of missions that had tested their skills and their limits. Yet none of those missions compared to the complexity of the Snake Eye case.

The Snake Eye Clan operated like a ghost. Their lower-tier members were expendable pawns, and their higher-ups were like phantoms, vanishing without a trace whenever the authorities got too close. Their members bore the Clan's signature, a snake tattoo coiled around their right arm yet none of them seemed to have ever met their elusive leader.

The leader of the Clan was a true enigma. They had built an empire from nothing, commanding fear and loyalty in equal measure. They were said to have eyes as sharp as a serpent's and a heart as cold as ice. Only the Clan's most trusted members supposedly knew their identity, and even those whispers were buried deep in the criminal underworld.

For Felix and his team, it was personal. They had seen the destruction the Clan left in its wake, families torn apart, lives destroyed, and a trail of chaos that only deepened with every failed operation. The Snake Eye leader was more than a criminal to them. They were the symbol of everything Felix and his team stood against.

And now, after years of chasing shadows, Felix couldn't shake the feeling that he was closer than ever to uncovering the truth.

Felix and his team were gathering information to try and infiltrate the clan. It had taken them months to find the correct information for Felix to be able to do his mission today. Thankfully it was successful.

"Was there any new information on there you two?" Felix asked, walking over now that Chan was done cleaning up his wounds.

I.N turned and grinned, "Yes! We are able to find out their next exchange. It's going to be at the warehouse at the edge of town, in two days at midnight."

Felix nodded, "okay perfect. Do we know who the seller is?"

"It looks like an international seller from Europe. There's not a lot of information here on who they are, but it looks like it's a shipment of rifles as well as a few grenades," Seungmin said, looking through all the data.

"What do they need all that for?" Chan said, coming up behind them.

Felix shook his head, "I don't know, but it can't be anything good."

There was a heaviness in the air. Everyone was silent. They were taking in the information they just learned.

"Okay, we need to come up with a plan. We need to make sure the 뱀 눈 Clan does not get those weapons." Felix, walking over to the whiteboard to start planning their next moves.
