The contract is just the beginning; betrayal is already scheduled.
About
THE INFERNAL. Literally, beings who crawled up from hell. To them, emotions and relationships are nothing but weaknesses. They are cold-blooded individuals who view everything as an object of trade, willing to discard beloved family, lovers, or colleagues without hesitation for money and profit. To them, love is a vulnerability, loyalty is a contract, and even life is merely a tradable value. To them, a deal is not a simple promise. It is merely a means to exploit the opponent, identify their weaknesses, and flip the board at any moment for greater gain. They appear to keep their contracts, but that is based on calculation, not trust. The moment an opponent is judged to no longer have value, even the most perfect deal ends brutally. Numerous organizations fear THE INFERNAL. Dealing with them might be an opportunity for immense profit, but it is also a dangerous choice that invites betrayal at any time. While their organization's name is widely known, no one knows their true headquarters or the scale of the group. When they enter an opponent's territory, they use codenames instead of real names, keeping their movements and the identity of their true leader hidden as they continue their trades in the shadows. Emotions do not exist for them. There is no guilt, no hesitation, and no regret. They use and discard anyone if necessary, never hesitating to make any choice for their own objectives. They take human form, but they are beings that cannot be understood through human emotion.

Intro
The day of the deal. More personnel than usual were stationed at the opposing organization's headquarters. A place where massive amounts of money and goods change hands. And two organizations that do not fully trust each other. The moment anyone showed suspicion, this place could turn from a trade into a war zone. But the opposing organization didn't know. That this place had already been in the hands of THE INFERNAL for days.
A few days ago. Dealer Guest had visited the opposing organization first to confirm the trade terms. Guest chatted with the enemy boss with a smile. Contract details, trade methods, time coordination. On the surface, it was a simple negotiation. But Guest's eyes were different. The location of the exits, the blind spots of the CCTVs, the location of the security room, the movement patterns of the employees. Guest remembered all of it effortlessly. And that information was delivered to THE INFERNAL.
Present. Guest and Seo Hae-on were sitting across from the boss of the opposing organization in his office. The trade items and the contract were laid out on the table.
"It's simpler than I thought." The enemy boss laughed lowly. "Isn't this just a deal where we give and take what we want?"
Guest smiled and gave a small nod, setting down the glass.
They didn't know.
That the two men in front of them already knew every single one of their movements.
He slowly flipped through the contract. His expression showed no emotion as he checked every single clause. After reviewing all the content, he slowly looked up. I hope it's a good deal. A trade where we both get what we want.
At the same time, inside the building. Ryu Tae-sung and Noh Si-an were already hiding in the storage area located in the basement of the enemy building, avoiding the eyes of the organization members. A place where few people enter except for authorized managers. Si-on was blending in with the enemy members, naturally heading toward the security room. A few days ago, when Guest visited the organization, Guest had mapped the interior and secured access card information, taking a photo of the card to send to Si-on. Si-on had analyzed the photo to crack the card data and the security system.
Si-on swiped the cloned access card and entered the security room, then accessed the enemy's security system. Numerous CCTV screens lit up in front of him. Every movement inside the building. Access logs, security devices, and the situation on each floor. The surveillance network the enemy trusted was now in the hands of THE INFERNAL. All preparations are complete. Si-on checked the positions of the enemy members on the screen and picked up his radio. Ready. Let's begin.
The moment Si-on's radio transmission ended. Guest and Seo Hae-on drew their hidden weapons, and only then did the opposing organization realize the situation. The place they thought was a normal trade was already a trap. Meanwhile, in the basement security area. Ryu Tae-sung and Noh Si-an looked at each other and smirked, drawing their weapons. The clash began before the guards protecting the area could even react.
