The next morning, I found myself facing the rest of the Kang men. In one room. Full of testosterone and glaring matches. It was a game, you know.

I rolled my eyes, watching Chanwoo and Seulgi argue. They were never on the same page, not really. Chanwoo didn’t agree with the plans to pit the Mexicans and Manoban against each other. He said it was too dangerous. Hanbin was a mad man.

And his sons were more lethal.

Twins. Future Kings of the Mexican cartel.

They were men you should never cross paths with.

One was mentally deranged, crazy in the head—spent most of his life in prison and then an asylum.

The other was a psychopath who protected his twin with the strength of a hundred soldiers. Nobody crossed his path and stayed breathing for more than five minutes.

Inseparable at birth and inseparable through life.

And together with their father, they ruled with an iron fist.

Playing with them was playing with danger.

We were the Masters of the game, and this was going to be one hell of a ride.

After Chanwoo would stop bitching.

I cleared my throat, bringing their attention back to me. Chanwoo settled back into his chair, leveling with a cold look. “I don’t agree.”

“Last I checked, you are not the Boss anymore,” Seulgi interrupted. “Meaning, you don’t have a choice.”

“Last I checked, I was the one in charge of this mission,” I announced, crossing my arms in the process. “Meaning, this is my decision.”

Wrong thing to say. Wrong time.

Like I said, testosterone was flying everywhere in the room.

Seulgi thought she was in power.

Chanwoo wanted control in his hands.

I apparently was just the pawn. A pawn who was actually in power.

Tsk. These people. If only they knew…I was about to dance with chaos.

Another voice joined the conversation, and this time I scoffed, throwing my head back to lazily stare at the ceiling.

“You don’t understand us. We know Hanbin. Actually, we know him very well. Just like Manoban, Hanbin and the Kangs go way back. Before you two were even born, we used to be partners, on the same side. We know him, and we know what he is capable of. You are putting yourself in danger. Not only that, you will start a motion we won’t be able to stop,” Marco added from his position beside Chanwoo.

I lifted my head and found my father looking at me dead in the eyes. He silently dared me to say something, to argue.

“That’s interesting…” I drawled. “I was just thinking about that. And now that you brought it up yourself, Daddy dearest, how about we speak of this…recent information I found?”

Seulgi leaned forward, placing her arms over her desk, and I watched as she interlocked her fingers together and sent a cold, curious look. The motherfucker looked intimidating, and I knew I was about to make this situation worse.

“What is it?” she asked, her eyes studying me, watching for any reactions. When Seulgi would study her prey, she watched with stealthy eyes. She would watch for lies, the way their gazes moved and the way their breathing would change, the nervous movement…anything and everything.
