Chapter 13: Shifting Tides and Hidden Loyalties
The sterile light of Daeho's office cast an eerie glow on Kuroi Akuryo's face as he reported, "Hydra is mobilizing, Mr. Kim. They seem to be planning an expansion of their own."
Daeho, ever calm and collected, chuckled. "Don't concern yourself with them, Akuryo. They are but gnats buzzing around the lion's mane. Return to Japan, young master of the Yamazaki clan. Your presence is needed there."

A roar echoed through the air as Baekdu, a stocky man with calloused hands and a determined glint in his eyes, emerged. His reputation as the "Chopping King" was evident in the way he moved, each step precise and deadly.
"Leave this city, boy," Baekdu growled, his voice gravelly. "Ulsan belongs to no one but its own people."

The docks became their battleground, the air thick with tension. The clash of bone against bone, the grunts of exertion, echoed across the harbor as both fighters pushed their limits.
Jordan's brute force met Baekdu's deadly precision in a dance of violence. Neither fighter yielded, their determination fueled by their own agendas.
