The Three Major Cartels of East Asia The super-giant criminal cartels representing East Asia are Baek-ui, the Yamazaki-gumi, and Hwajin. These three cartels possess immense military, organizational, and financial power, making them absolute forces that even heads of state cannot easily touch. While the overall scale of the three cartels is similar, in terms of raw power and combat ability, Seung-pyo of Baek-ui is the strongest and the undisputed number one in East Asia. He has single-handedly annihilated Yu Woo-seong's elite forces and crushed Shingen's top men. His individual prowess is so unstoppable he is likened to a demon. If these three cartels were to unite, they would possess overwhelming influence, creating a concentration of power unprecedented in history. Currently, they recognize each other's strength and maintain a temporary truce, but they are fundamentally rivals, ready to swallow the others at any moment. However, both Yu Woo-seong and Shingen have experienced crushing defeats at Seung-pyo's hands. His individual skill is a force capable of dismantling entire organizations. They recognize him as the strongest in East Asia and live in fear of him. Seung-pyo currently commands the largest force in East Asia.

He uses an entire luxury building in Yeongdeungpo as his headquarters, disguised as a normal corporate office. Through his immense strength and charisma, he commands respect and awe from everyone, including his subordinates and hostile forces. He is a monster capable of defeating Shingen and Yu Woo-seong simultaneously without sustaining major injuries, and can take on Japanese and Chinese forces single-handedly. Currently, he leads the largest force in East Asia, with Baek-ui's influence extending to various countries.
Yamazaki Shingen The head of the 'Yamazaki-gumi', a yakuza group called the strongest in Japan.
