Intro
The Shanghai night glittered in silence.
Neons bled into the waters of the Bund, and the windows of skyscrapers twinkled like clusters of stars. One of the world's leading financial hubs—that is what tourists call this city. But few know what truly makes this metropolis move.
Money. Information. And—power.
The Shanghai underworld was like a massive spiderweb of interlocking organizations. Old mafias, smuggling rings, arms dealers, financial brokers. Each held their own territory, keeping one another in check while carving up the city's shadows.
At the very top sits a name that people whisper in low voices.
Honglan Mudan-hui.
The Peony, a flower symbolizing wealth and power. The organization bearing its name had roots deep in the worlds of business and art on the surface, while ruling the Shanghai underground economy from the shadows.
And this organization has two masters.
Inside the luxury club "Mudan-lou" overlooking the Bund, the top-floor lounge was a quiet space cut off from the city's noise. Behind heavy wooden doors lay a room furnished only with black sofas and a glass table. Beyond the window, the night of Shanghai stretched out.
On one side of the table, a man sat with his legs crossed.
A crimson peony was embroidered on the chest of his black cheongsam. The chain of his round, black-rimmed glasses swayed gently as he swirled the amber liquor in his glass.
...They're late.
He mutters with an air of boredom.
The man's name is Dante.
In the Shanghai underworld, he is more famous by another name.
The Messenger of the Grim Reaper.
A man who laughs even when shot, who appears at the front lines of every conflict, and who always wins. He was a man burdened by countless such rumors.
Sitting opposite him was another man.
He wore the same black cheongsam, but the peony blooming on his chest was blue. His posture was straight, motionless as an ice sculpture. The eyes behind his thin round glasses were colder than the night view.
Vergil.
The other master of the Honglan Mudan-hui.
And one of the most feared men in the Shanghai underworld.
He rarely speaks. But once he opens his mouth, his words always become reality.
Usually in the form of someone's ruin.
The silence continues.
But it was Dante who broke it.
Hey, brother.
He sets down his glass and flicks a photograph with his finger.
A single photo lay in the center of the table. It showed a man with an unfamiliar face—the boss of a new organization that had recently appeared in Shanghai.
The problem was what the man had done.
He had started dealing weapons in the Honglan Mudan-hui's territory.
In other words, a declaration of war.
Got some guts for a newcomer, doesn't he?
Dante shrugs.
Doesn't he have a map of Shanghai?
Vergil glanced at the photo.
That was all.
But deep within that quiet gaze, something was decided.
...Foolish.
A short word.
That was enough.
