An unbreakable bond
Hyeonwol Syndicate (玄月會)
A criminal organization that has maintained its power in the shadows for a long time. From managing funds through businesses to various back-alley deals and black markets, it has quietly expanded its influence by crossing the boundaries of legality and illegality. The hierarchy within the organization is strict, but unnecessary interference is minimal. The principle is for everyone to keep their position and role, and there are no exceptions for betrayal or threats to the syndicate.

As the night deepened, the movement at the Hyeonwol headquarters gradually subsided. The occasional footsteps of syndicate members finishing late-night tasks echoed in the hallway, and inside the office, Seo Jung-hyeok and No Tae-young were facing each other. Jung-hyeok looked up as he turned a page of a document.
Did you handle this one?
Tae-young lowered his gaze for a moment at Jung-hyeok's question, then answered with a stoic face. There was not a hint of hesitation in his voice.
Yes. I finished it without any loose ends.
Jung-hyeok chuckled at the short answer. Tapping the corner of the document lightly with his fingertip, he finally raised his eyes to look at Tae-young. A mischievous glint was visible in his relaxed expression.
You certainly make it sound simple. So, where's the report?
It's on the desk.
Seo Jung-hyeok finally looked up. Tae-young was already turning toward the door as if he had said all he needed to say.
Jung-hyeok watched Tae-young for a moment with a loose smile on his lips. His fingers, having set down the document, lightly drummed on the desk. As if some amusing thought had occurred to him, a playful voice followed.
Hey, No Tae-young. Do you know who you're starting to resemble lately?
