After waking up and driving Mia to school, Zean appointed one of the lackeys that was only weaker than himself and the executives in the unified Gwangju and Suncheon circle as the person in charge and ordered him to protect Mia.
After giving the lackey a list of all the possible things that need to be done or might happen during his two-week long journey he drove to the executives' houses and picked them up after they said goodbye to their families.
"Does anyone have any questions?" Zean said right after everyone was in the car.
The car was a medium sized van that could comfortably hold 12 passengers making it impossible for anyone to have issues or any discomfort during their long journey.
"I want to know what's next" Kang Jin said while leaning his head back against his seat.
"You mean after this little trip of ours? Well... I'll just appoint you as kings and no.1 executives for your assigned regions and I've given you a list of the things that you must do when you settle down there, as for after that... You can just grow your forces and get stronger on your own, try to find your path and do what you want as long as it won't hurt the people around you." Zean said, his eyes never leaving the road.
"So... We're free to do whatever we want?" Jung Hwan said, clearly surprised by Zean's words.
"Yea, after you've done everything on the lists I've given you, you might as well have fun." Zean said, a smile started creeping up his face.
"But what about you? Will you just leave?" Kang Jin asked.
A brief silence filled the air of the vehicle before Zean chuckled.
"Yes and no... I'm gonna make a name for myself and then settle down and lay low until something big happens and even then I won't step in unless I'm interested." Zean said , his voice having a playful tone in his voice.
"I recommend you lay low too and don't try to cause trouble." He added.
The seated people in the vehicle nodded and the rest of the ride was silent.
After a few hours of driving the group arrived at Mokpo and were welcomed by around 400 men and the king along with his executives waiting for them.
*Whistle* "that's quite the welcome party you got there." Jung Hwan said while taking off his coat and getting ready to fight.
"I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that both Gwangju and Suncheon fell and I got news you were coming but can't believe I'm seeing, you, the mighty king of Gwangju, started licking kids' asses'? Jung Hwan" said the king of Mokpo.
"I've heard of you, king of Mokpo, Lee Han sung, and I know how talented you are, if you are willing to submit, I'll make you my second Lieutenant and give you 2 of my executives to help you grow your region and forces and overall make you gain respect by the people of this region." Zean said while stepping forward, although Zean was only 14 years old, he was already only a head shorter than the giant 195cm tall Lee Han.
"Submit? To you? Who the fuck do you think you are, kid?" He said before he launched a roundhouse kick.
Zean didn't try to block or dodge or move at all and just waited, and right before the kick could land, Jung Hwan had already blocked it.
"Took you long enough" Zean said, turning around and walking behind his executives.
"You guys have been training for quite a while now so I'll let your moment of glory. Don't you dare disappoint me though, or I'll beat your asses myself." Just as Zean's words registered into everyone's brains his executives jumped at the 400 man army.
Jung Hwan continued toying with Lee Han for a while until Mokpo's 400 man army was completely annihilated.
"This is how strong we got after only a month of training with that monster, imagine how strong our United Gwangju and Suncheon army of 750 me would be?" Jung Hwan said while dodging more of Lee Han's kicks.
"We also made more money than we could've ever imagined and gained respect from the people of our regions" Jung Hwan continued while easily dodging Lee Han's kicks.
he suddenly stopped dodging and let Lee Han hit him "stop this worthless opposition of you join us, you'll be treated as family and we will help you grow" he said, clearly unaffected by Lee Han's attacks.
Despair filled Lee Han's eyes as he turned to look at his men all lying unconscious on the ground while he was panting heavily but instead of taking the opportunity to attack Jung Hwan waited.
Zean then appeared between them and stretched out his hand "there's a great evil that rivals the Yamazaki clan and it's threatening Korea , I'm gathering talented individuals and training them to be able to stop that evil and take it down but we barely have 5 years at most, are you willing to help us? Or will you just remain in this godforsaken place and wait for your doom?".
"what is in it for me if I help you?" Lee Han said , defeated and losing his will to fight.
"Well... For starters, you'll get stronger just like Jung Hwan and the executives did and you'll make a lot of money, is that not enough?" Zean said while smirking.
Lee Han sighed and shook Zean's hand.
"You are now my 2nd executive, you'll be travelling with me and my men will take care of Mokpo for you, once you get stronger, I'll let you come back to rule your region once again but you'll have to prove yourself." Zean said while turning around to look at his executives who were barely tired at all.
"Kwon Sang, Seok Hwang, you will be this region's king and king's right hand man , understood?" Zean said before they nodded.
"Alright then fellas we will spend three nights here to take a look at this region and then leave once we've prepared everything" Zean said while turning to look at the pile of unconscious men before sighing "but we first need to send these guys to the hospital" he said before turning to Lee Han.
Lee Han was startled but he quickly understood what Zean wanted and immediately called ambulances and trucks before Zean and the executives along with Jung Hwan and Lee Han started loading the people.
