21 You Want to Play? I’ll Play with You
A few meters from the entrance, the man in front of the door noticed them. As he was about to face them, he fainted. So Won had taken advantage of his moment of inattention to shoot a bullet containing a sleeping pill.
Jae Hyun opened the door to look inside. The way was clear. He then entered followed by the other two.
Looking around, they could see that the place was empty and vast. There were also several pillars and hanging chains. The place was not maintained and several cardboard boxes could be seen, wooden sticks were lying around and dust was invading their nostrils. The place smelled musty and old. It was difficult to imagine people living there. Above all, it was to serve as a base or meeting place.
Surprisingly, despite the extensive location, there didn't seem to be anyone there. As Jae Hyun wondered why there was a guard if no one was there, he heard a loud scream.
This one seemed to come from the back of the warehouse. Looking in this direction, he could see light emanating from under a door.
A new, louder cry was heard. It was a girl's voice.
The three of them ran to the door before breaking it down.
A girl about 14 years old was in the middle of the room with torn clothes. She was struggling as best she could while a guy who must have been 17 or 18 years old was holding her firmly to the ground.
"Let me go!!!"
She started crying, still struggling with kicking. The guy was enjoying it.
The other 7 guys, all of whom were minors, turned to Jae Hyun, So Won and Daniel with an interrogating look.
One of the guys moved on.
"Who are you?"
Jae Hyun completely ignored it and waved at Daniel. After that, Daniel headed towards the girl still in tears struggling before hitting the guy who held her. He then put his jacket on her shoulders. The surprised girl backed off before realizing Daniel had just helped her. She sniffed.
The guys were stunned by what had just happened and picked themselves up before looking at Daniel coldly.
"What the hell are you doing?", asked one of them.
He walked towards him before being stopped by Jae Hyun and an image of Lea stuck to his nose.
"Do you know her?"
The guy sighed before looking at the picture and shrugging his shoulders.
"Who knows? And what is wrong with you? Leave!"
Without shouting guard, one of the guys who had been watching so far ran into an attempt to get the girl now in Daniel's hands. However, he hit the ground head first after being knocked down by So Won.
The other guys all displayed a black look before taking a fighting position.
The one who seemed to be the leader whistled and in less than 10 seconds, armed men came out of the room from above.
"Get these guys out of here and get the girl back!!!"
By reflex, the group backed up to the door before leaving the room and moving towards the pillars a little further.
The men came out of the room and shots began to be fired again. So Won also started shooting and touched one of them on the shoulder before going to take shelter behind a pillar.
Jae Hyun found a place not far from a pillar and knocked down a wooden board to protect himself.
For his part, Daniel who was with the girl had managed to find a safer place and leaned over with the girl to avoid the bullet rain. She started screaming in fear and covered her ears. He tried to reassure her by rubbing her back.
So Won pulled out another weapon and slid it down to Jae Hyun's feet. Jae Hyun was beginning to wonder what So Won was doing with so many guns on him in the middle of the day. It was almost as if he knew what would happen to them here.
Jae Hyun picked up the weapon and tried to shoot one of the armed men while remaining protected behind his pillar. It was still more difficult than at the shooting range. A real situation was really different. However, he managed to hit one of the men after a few shots.
He then saw that one of their enemies had managed to sneak up on Daniel and by reflex fired in his direction. He touched it in the neck, and the man fell sharply to the ground.
Jae Hyun began to sweat and tremble unintentionally. A thought crossed his mind.
"Did I... ki... kill him?"
This thought made him uncomfortable. He had never killed anyone before and this thought made him uncomfortable. Hurting someone in self-defense was one thing, but killing was against its principles.
As he was caught in his thoughts, So Won took the opportunity to join him. He touched Jae Hyun's shaky hand.
"Don't worry, he's not dead. Take a closer look."
Indeed, the man lying on the ground began to move. The wound seemed serious, but the man was still alive.
Jae Hyun's heart calmed down.
"Aim for the guys' feet so you won't have a chance to touch them in a critical place," says So Won.
So Won's voice was reassuring and Jae Hyun nodded before executing.
After a few minutes of continuous fire, noises became less frequent. It seemed that the enemies had emptied their minutiae. Moreover, Jae Hyun was surprised that they were able to hold out with so few munitions on their side. It was probably due to So Won's effective fire.
Seeing that their weapons were no longer being used and that Jae Hyun's group had stopped firing, the men picked up sticks in order to fight with them.
This first confrontation knocked out many of the enemies. There were only eight of them left for about thirty before.
Those responsible for all the chaos were always buried in the back room.
Their fighters put themselves in combat formation.
Since the fight had come to blows, Jae Hyun came out from behind his pillar and advanced towards them.
Two of them tried to surround him and threw their sticks at him.
He avoided them by bending down and stepped on one of the men's feet who fell backward before kicking him in the face and causing him to lose consciousness. Another blow came to him, and Jae Hyun grabbed the stick with his right hand before directing it towards a third man who was running at him from another direction. The man who was hit in the stomach fell to his knees and held his stomach. The one who always held Jae Hyun felt the danger and dropped him before taking a step back.
Jae Hyun wielded the stick quietly and turned it in his hand before moving into position.
However, 4 men decided to drop their weapons on the ground and take a horizontal beam and run at him in an attempt to tackle him at the pillar behind him.
Having seen in their game, Jae Hyun began to run at full speed towards the wall pursued by them. He leaned on it to climb it before jumping and landing behind them and knocking them to the ground with his stick.
A man managed to take him from behind. He then took one of fingers' man and turned it over. As the man screamed in pain, Jae Hyun spread his arms and pulled away before dropping him backward.

7....
Jae Hyun counted the men on the ground.
Something was wrong, there were eight of them at the base. Where was the last one?
He then heard a weapon charging before he realized that the one he was looking for had found a weapon. Jae Hyun was in a bad position.
He smiles delightedly to have Jae Hyun under his control. But without warning, So Won appeared, grabbed the barrel with his left hand before going to fetch the man's wrist inward. So Won raised the man's weapon and leaned forward before turning man's hand over and grabbing his weapon.
"He is not alone," said So Won, a smirk on his face, to the man now at his mercy.
So Won turned the weapon back to this one.
"Wow. You have to teach me how to disarm!" replied Jae Hyun, impressed.
Daniel took a look before he realized that the fight was over.
When Jae Hyun saw him, he waved to him to come.
"Help us tie them up, Niel."
They did so and after being sure that they had secured the place, they went to the same room as before without Daniel who had gone to walk the girl outside.
The door had been closed and So Won kicked it down before pointing his gun at the 7 young men.
"Fancy see you there~," said So Won.
They cringed.
"Okay, okay. Let's talk! What do you want?" replied one of the guys.
He approached them, but So Won shot a bullet close to his foot.
"Don't move forward. We can talk about where you are from." So Won smiled at them naturally.
Jae Hyun pulled up Lea's picture and one of the guys, anxious about So Won's gun, answered quickly.
"I remember! Isn't that one of the girls Isaac brought us back this summer?"
Jae Hyun arched eyebrows. So Won looked at the young man, and he was quick to keep talking.
"I don't know where he finds them, but he often brings in different girls. Never the same twice."
Finally, the group admitted that Isaac often brought girls who loved him here, saying he was waiting for them or lying to them about how he was in danger. Each time it was different girls, so the group suspected that after they came here, he threatened them with the videos and did what he wanted with them.
Thus, Lea had been trapped by Isaac last July.
They were disgusted by what they heard. Jae Hyun could not believe that such a person could exist.
"Isaac," he thought, clenching his teeth. He was obviously very angry.
Without much trouble, they managed to get the confession of the 7 guys and record them. This evidence could be used against Isaac.
Even if they brought in Bliss to arrest these guys, they knew it would not be that simple because they were all minors, and they came from wealthy families so the law would protect them. They had still called Bliss.
As they were about to leave, Jae Hyun received a message. He turned around and whispered in one of the guys' ears. This one nodded with a scared face. He then showed him a picture and when he saw his reaction, Jae Hyun smiled joyfully.
They finally joined the girls outside and explained the situation to them.
Vivian bit her lips before she shed tears. She was distressed. Emma hugged her.
"We have to confront Isaac and make him pay! We have proof, what are we waiting for?!"
Tiffany cut Jasmine.
"It's not that simple. Isaac is the son of the Minister of Transport. These guys' confessions won't change anything. Besides, he never showed up here himself."
Jasmine clenched her fist angry at such injustice.
Jae Hyun then took the floor.
"It's not a lost cause. We still have a chance."
He started smiling before sending a message to someone.
"Let's go. We're not going to miss the afternoon of school. Especially since a great event is coming up."
"What?" they replied.
They were lost but still followed him.
So Won decided to accompany the girl to a hospital to check on her. Even if he wanted to follow them, he could not enter the school grounds as he was not a student.
Jae Hyun took a steady step towards school followed by everyone while smiling his teeth out.
"Isaac, you want to play with us? Well, let's play!"
