Son Hyunjoo is at the top of the chain, but Lee Heeseung and his council defines it.
When the richest of the richest control the anarchic South Korea, being the master of monopoly became the main game.

ㅤ "Lee Ethan Heeseung. You don't know how to take a threat seriously when you come across one, do you?"
The room is still as cold as ever, dim and eerie.
"Why did you commence the game?" There was fire dancing in Ni-ki's eyes as he looked at the BYSSALS president.
Unlike everyone who even dared to take a peek at Heeseung’s face, Ni-ki stared at him without fear— And it taunted Heeseung.
Perhaps, he really can't fool the younger anymore. A deal must come to negotiation. Ni-ki's words resurfaced inside Heeseung's head.

"Live the rest of this year as president of BYSSALS. After that, you'll graduate and pass full authority to me. Once I have your word, then I'll keep your secrets at bay... I'll make sure none of it will get leaked to Hyunjoo."

"It's because I am taking your offer." Heeseung announced with a pokerface, hands coming up to fix the position of his mask.
It won't be easy for him to blackmail me now, since it'll put him in the bad light too.With the coup now out of the picture, it's only Hyunjoo that can validate Ni-ki's false innocence. Heeseung thought carefully about the cards against his odds.

"But you could say I made some altercations here and there so we both get even sticks."
And once Hyunjoo betrays him, his only road back to survival is me. He smirked. After all, things might come into betters terms for him in the future.

"As I said in the meeting, the cat and mouse game will— indeed— start. However, just as I also stated on the game mechanics, I am obliged to protect... you know who." Heeseung chuckled at the very end of his sentence.
"Alongside you and I, would be Avalanche. He knows the identity of the mouse, and I appointed him to mislead the rest of the BYSSALS in finding out who she is."
ㅤ
"I won't sanction you if you try to protect her, but her survival until the end of this year only depends on her ability to adapt." Heeseung walked closer to Ni-ki, and only stopped when he was face to face with the tall boy.
ㅤ
"Should a member still find out, it'll be your job to protect Hyunjoo. After all, you two are a team, right?" Heeseung mocked, eyes widening to ridicule Ni-ki's past words, as if he knew well that things won't end good between Hyunjoo and Ni-ki.
ㅤ
Maybe it's Heeseung's intention after all, because deep inside, doubt is manifesting in Ni-ki's head.
