Tiger's Palace.

Located within the heart of fine eating establishments in Busan.

Co-ownership between the dangerous and prolific few, it was one for the talks.

At the moment, the restaurant's rooftop was completely reserved from a special meeting taking place.

Seated at a large round table, plated with the polished glassware, intricate gold silverware and an imported centerpiece was Joo Jaekyung and Jeong Yosep.

"What the hell is taking Namwook so long?" Jaekyung cursed under his breath at the mention of his longtime advisor, "He's the one that said these people would be great and yet they can't even show up at a specific time."

Feeling his shoulder get patted, Yosep merely told Jaekyung to be patient.

"This is Choi Heesung we're talking about," Yosep mumbled, "We should always expect the unexpected when it comes to him."

With a click of his tongue, Jaekyung folded his arms, watching as the glass paneled doors leading to the rooftop suddenly opened up revealing three people.

Leading the other two was a man named Park Namwook. The 38 year old who was a father to three, had light brown hair stood at 5 '11 (180 cm) and bulky build. He wore metal framed glasses. Dressed in business casual, he gave his boss a knowing look.

"Sorry for the delay," Heesung's voice rang behind Namwook, "Couldn't leave my home until all affairs were in order!"

Jaekyung clicked his tongue, picking up his glass of water and taking a sip, "Heesung, I'm not in a good fucking mood, don't test me."

With a glare, he watched as Heesung, Namwook and Dan have a seat at the table.

"And who is that?" Jaekyung scowled, his brows dipping dangerously at Dan, "Didn't I say no entourage this time?"

"You did," Heesung tossed up his hands, gently patting Dan's shoulder, "But he isn't my entourage. He's my business partner."

Dan bowed his head slightly, "My name is Kim Dan, I'm here for business and business only."

He observed how Jaekyung leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowing before widening back to their normal state, unfolding those massive arms of his.

Dan would be lying if he said Jaekyung wasn't attractive, However, there was something incredibly eerie about the man.

"Heesung warned that he was dangerous, but this energy is intense..." Dan mumbled in his head, finding it a bit difficult to shift his focus from the man sitting across from him.

"Now," Heesung clapped, "I was told you lost your current shipper, hence why you asked to meet with us,"

"No need to go through the nitty gritty details, let's just focus on what you can do for us and what we can do for you."

A snort escaped Jaekyung's lips, his hands running up and down on the ridges of his glass, "Slow your fucking role for a second."

"I don't just take in anyone to do the job I need done. I need to see what you can do first before anything else."

His attention moved from Heesung to Dan, tapping at the table, "You said you're business partners, correct? Then, what exactly is it that you are in charge of?"

"Heesung handles the money flow, both in and out. I worry about personnel and maintenance of our trading routes." Dan answered promptly, though it felt like thorns were growing from his throat, "I like to be thorough with these things, and I take it you are as well."
