Zean, who was now at the south eastern border between Gwangju and Suncheon was standing between the four executives of the Gwangju circle and no.3 and no.4 of the Suncheon circle.
"Well... I was wondering why Mia asked me about Murphy's Law... Guess that was some kind of universal warning to tell me that my plans will go to hell" I thought, trying to act annoyed despite anticipating something like this happening.
"You've made a very big mistake by messing with our gang , kid, The king told us to break your bones and bring you to him after cleaning up the Suncheon bastards" Kang Jin said while stepping closer to Zean.
Suddenly, a lot of cars came from the Suncheon side of the border and out of them came a lot of men from the Suncheon gang as well as no.5 , no.2 and no.1 the king of Suncheon himself.
"Well well well... Looks like Gwangju were preparing a grand welcome for us... How do you think we should repay them, boss?" No.2 of the Suncheon circle said while looking at the king of Suncheon.
The king of Suncheon, Jin Baek lim, remained silent and looked at Zean before speaking "didn't know that Gwangju was now having trouble with kids... Is this your little brother or something? Should we come at another time? Perhaps you'd like us to teach him a few things and he looks quite cute too... I'm sure many of the people I know will fancy him" the king said jokingly making everyone on the Suncheon side burst into laughter.
The laughter died out quickly as the king of Suncheon spoke again "I don't see Jung Hwan here, is he perhaps too scared to come out? Or is he giving us his territory willingly by not coming out?" The king of Suncheon said before cars came from Gwangju's side and men came out of them before standing in attention while the king of Gwangju , Jung Hwan Do, walked out of his car.
"I see you haven't lost your sense of humour you crazy bastard" Jung Hwan said while walking between the lines of men standing at his side.
The Gwangju circle had around 300 men while the Suncheon circle had 350 and though the difference isn't that big, it shows how prepared the Suncheon circle was.
Zean stood in the clearing in the middle of the two circles as Kang Jin stepped back.
[Zean's perspective]:
I'm now trying to process just what in the world is going on here. I thought I could just come here, beat up that no.5 guy of Gwangju, then maybe go after no.4 if my control over UI lasted long enough but what in the actual ever loving fuck is going on here?
The executives from both Gwangju and Suncheon??? The two kings of both regions too???? To say that my plans got royally fucked would be an understatement.
While Zean was still drowning in his sea of thoughts, both kings attacked him at once, the king of Suncheon with a kick and the king of Gwangju with a punch and although he blocked both, the combined force of their attacks caused him to fly in the air a few feet off the ground and many feet back.
"Get the fuck out of here, kid, before you get yourself killed" the king of Suncheon, Jin Baek said while taking off his suit.
"You better listen to him kid, I will deal with you later, but right now, I must show those bastards why I'm called a king" Jung Hwan said while also taking off his sunglasses and his fancy coat.
Both sides got ready, many were tense and many were excited and many were just happy they could feel the thrill of actual battle after a few months of peace but before everyone could react, Zean was already standing between the two kings as if he teleported there from where he was.
"Kid this... Kid that... I'm being called a kid by fucking 19 and 20 year old bastards who barely know jack shit about the real world?" Zean muttered to himself, his voice barely above a whisper.
Though he didn't grow older than them, he certainly suffered in the real world and went through hardships without any cheats , talents or backing and that's why he was respected by many people older than himself despite being just an 18 years old teen.
Both kings stepped forward and were glaring daggers at Zean , the king of Suncheon opened his mouth but before he could say anything Zean's fist was already caved in his mouth, making his teeth fly everywhere and pushing him at least 15 feet back into his no.2 and no.3 executives arms who caught him mid-air.
"IF ALL YOU ARE GONNA DO IS TALK THEN I'LL BE THE ONE TO KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING KIDS" Zean said before activating his UI and jumping at the Suncheon circle.
There was screaming everywhere, blood rained down as Zean continued to beat the Suncheon circle men left and right, the executives couldn't be discerned from the lackeys and the king was the same.
"NO , PLEASE NOT MY LE- AAAAGHH" no.2 said before Zean broke his legs.
"WAIT, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE INVOLVED I DIDN'T WANNA DO THI- AAAAAAAAAAH" no.3 said before Zean shattered every single bone he had in his hands.
"WAIT, PLEASE STOP, PLEASE, YOU CAN BECOME THE KING OF SUNCHEON, I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT JUST DON'T HU- AAAAAAAAAAGHHH" the king of Suncheon said before Zean shattered his ribs and broke his shoulders before dislocating them.
The screaming continued for 27 minutes but felt like years had passed for whoever was watching.
...
...
...
A long, heavy and cold silence filled the air as Zean stood there, atop the unconscious bodies of the 350 men of the Suncheon circle, his clothes torn apart, his body covered in blood , yet he was not panting, he was not sweating and not even heavy breathing or showing any signs of fatigue or tiredness. He was just standing there, looking down at Jung Hwan Do, the king of Gwangju, with his reverse eyes that sent chills down the entire Gwangju circle men's spines, even the executives and the king himself were now aware of it.
Zean was not just a kid nor a simple nuisance they had to deal with, he was someone who is well above the extraordinary and powerful kings, he was in a league of his own.
Zean continued to glare at Jung Hwan Do before the latter stepped forward and bowed in a 90° angle.
"I welcome the new king, king of Suncheon and Gwangju, may I please know your name?" He said, not daring lift his head up to meet Zean's eyes or cold stare.
It didn't take long before the entire Gwangju circle was bowing down, following their king's lead.
Zean looked at this spectacle before him, his face displayed a smirk, a hint of amusement in hiscold reverse eyes that nobody dared to lift their heads to look at, he could feel his heart beating through his chest , he wasn't this excited even when he took down 350 men just a few minutes ago.
"The name is Zean... Zean Seok" he said before jumping down the small hill of unconscious bodies.
"Send these guys to a hospital, I broke them enough for them to get fixed quickly except for their king, his hands are completely shattered so he won't be useful for us." Zean said while walking past the crowd who in turn made way to him, the many men were standing in two lines at full attention.
"Lead me to your base I have a lot of things to discuss with you, mr king" he said while jumping into the backseat of one of the cars before the king ran to the other backseat door quickly and jumped in beside him while the no.2 executive of Gwangju, Kang Jin, began to drive.
