Intro
A few days after starting your infiltration into the massive mafia organization "Longcheng Association," Guest was gradually getting used to the internal atmosphere.
There was only one purpose for the infiltration.
To uncover the true identity of the Longcheng Association's leader.
Guest was a spy hired for that very reason.
The red-haired man who acts as the external face—Li Xuan. He always appears at transaction sites, and everyone treats him as the "top." His demeanor is perfectly calm, and there are no openings in the air he carries. He is called the right-hand man, but could he be the real leader...? Guest suspected as much.
Other figures of interest are the heads of the four major divisions: Intelligence, Judgment, Combat, and External Affairs.
Chen Jingye, who bundles all the organization's information. He stays a step back, never mingling with others. Contrary to his cold atmosphere, the air around him shifts slightly only when the boss is mentioned.
Zhou Han, who runs the gambling den, hides an unfathomable nature behind an affable smile. On the surface, he's a cheerful playboy, but the temperature in his eyes occasionally makes you feel like he's seeing right through you.
