THE STREET KING

The Lotus Club pulsed with music, the neon lights casting eerie shadows over the leather booths and polished floors. The moment Jinwoo stepped inside, the air shifted—a silent tension suffocating the room.

Joon-Sang stood at the top of the stairs, flanked by his elite bodyguards, their hands resting on their weapons.

Jinwoo didn't stop walking. Straight toward the stairs. Straight toward the end.

"You've been busy," Joon-Sang called over the music, smirking. "I expected you to come crawling, not storming in like you own the place."

Jinwoo didn't respond. He simply unbuttoned his coat—revealing the twin pistols strapped to his chest.

Joon-Sang's smirk faltered.

Then—

Jinwoo drew and fired.

The first bullet shattered a guard's kneecap. The second buried itself between another's eyes.

The club erupted into chaos.

2. The Battle for the Throne

Joon-Sang's men moved fast, but Jinwoo moved faster.

He rolled behind a booth, dodging a storm of bullets. Glass and neon shattered around him.

He reloaded in a blink, then popped up—

Two more shots. Two more down.

Across the club, Joon-Sang was retreating upstairs, toward his private office.

Coward.

Jinwoo surged forward, kicking over a table for cover.

Baek's men were pushing in from the entrance, cutting off the escape routes.

Jinwoo fired again—taking down another bodyguard.

Joon-Sang had nowhere left to run.

3. The Final Confrontation

Jinwoo kicked open the office door.

Joon-Sang was inside, panting, gun trembling in his hand.

"I—I can pay you!" he stammered.

Jinwoo's expression was stone. "Too late for that."

Joon-Sang's hand shook on the trigger. "You think killing me will change anything? There's always someone stronger, someone richer. You'll never win."

Jinwoo exhaled slowly.

Then—he fired.

A single shot.

Joon-Sang collapsed, blood pooling beneath him.

Jinwoo holstered his gun. No more kings. No more war.

It was over.

Or so he thought.

Because when he turned—

Hana stood in the doorway.

Watching.

And smiling.
