The newcomer owns a seal.

"Can you believe what just happened???!!!, You are not gonna believe this..." Dan-Bi yelled over the phone causing No-Eul to place the phone far from her ears. " Hey, calm down girlfriend, you're yelling." No-Eul replied with a whisper. She had a frown on her face as she tried to decrypt what could be wrong with Dan-Bi. She assumed that whoever was there with Dan-Bi would be looking at her asking if she's sane.

It was so true, the taxi driver was glancing at Dan-bi through the rear mirror and asking himself. 'Do I have a crazy woman in my backseat? She didn't look crazy when she hopped in, what could have gone wrong.?'

"...I mean, Oh!, I didn't mean to yell at you. It's just that, Ehm, you know how I said I was coming for vacation?" Dan-Bi questioned as she sits restlessly at the backseat of the taxi.

"Yes, you wanted to clear your head and forget the past, yeah I remember." Still not sure what's happening, No-Eul stopped what she was doing in her office and gave full attention to the lady on the other end.

"It's really bad! I just met Yo-han in Country P!!!, The worst part is we stay in the same hotel!" Dan-Bi cried helplessly like a little child. She wasn't really crying but lamenting. "I shouldn't have chosen this place as my destination. No-Eul you made the wrong choice, next time I will make the decision myself, thank you for getting me into this." Dan-Bi couldn't help but put the blame on someone.

"Hey!, Don't blame me, okay so you saw him, does that affect you?, You just have to go your separate ways, from what you told me, you're both as good as strangers so what's the fuss all about? Just relax." No-Eul sounded completely negligent. To her it wasn't a big deal. It's bound to be. But Dan-bi, it's impossible for her not to make a fuss after what happened a few minutes ago.

"It's about being in an elevator with him and bumping shoulders as you try to get out and he didn't even care to be a gentleman and let the lady go first. Knowing that he is around, how am I supposed to erase memories of him if he's always around? Come on tell me!" Dan-Bi asked sarcastically and huffed in annoyance.

"Are you yelling?" No-Eul asked. She started to feel something off with Dan-Bi. Even though she had become quite arrogant and annoying, she knew better not to yell at No-Eul. She never did.

No-Eul was right, Dan-bi's reply confirmed it.

"Yes I am!!!", After waiting a while, "... Hmn, I am sorry, I shouldn't let my rage control me. I... I just couldn't believe that he really changed... If anything, I... I wanted it to be the other way around, I wanted him to watch how I have changed and doesn't care about him at all, I wanted to be the one to walk out on him while he drowns in the thought of how much I have moved on. You know he is the cause of everything, I didn't want to be the one paying the price... I am sorry I yelled at you." She apologized immediately and she felt sorry.

Throughout, the taxi driver was having changes in facial expression and attitude, from raised eyebrow to shaking his head, sighing helplessly and hitting his head on the wheel. He just couldn't fathom how someone could react like that all because she rode in an elevator with her ex. 'So what, he is doing well and you are not? Such is life!'

Well since it was non of his business, he didn't butt in.

"Apology accepted." No-Eul replied. She was worried. Worried of how Dan-bi was treating herself. Since the breakup Dan-bi has been quite not herself, she wasn't handling the breakup well. She was worried that being alone might not work out well for the poor lady but who can stop her? No one. It was Dan-Bi's wish to spend some time alone someplace far away.

"Okay, Dan-bi, take care of yourself and have fun." She said before the beeping sound was heard, cutting the line off.

"The mood is ruined, I totally freaked out." Dan-Bi spoke to herself before retracting her gaze from the road, to gaze down at her clenched knuckles. "I got to stay strong!".

Somewhere in Country P.

A man in his early twenties dressed in hoodies and masked, walks into a casino, straight up to a man standing at the roulette table, taking a sip of his drink as he watched carefully from beside the pillar he stood, how people placed their bets.

"I can't bear the pain of the Tiger's fang." The newcomer said to the man and received a quick eye-scan. The man took a turn around him walking in a circle, inspecting him from head to toe. "Hey, How does it hurt and how may I help you?" The man asked the newcomer. Funny enough, his voice sounded feminine, not befitting his status as a Goon.

"I seek the face of the Tiger himself." The newcomer replied and gave a seal to the feminine guy. On seeing the seal with a skull logo on it, the feminine guy's eyes widened and he immediately bowed to the newcomer. "This way sir, come with me."

He led the way to a secret part of the casino, several walls behind the main hall. There was a huge bronze door in front of them and he pushed it open, leading the newcomer in. He stopped in front of a large silver door in the big waiting room and said. " I can't go on with you. I am only allowed to go past the Bronze room. In the silver room, the Tiger will meet you there because of the seal you tendered, show it to him. If you're lucky and so important to him, then you can enter the gold room but don't try unless he offers you to join him. I'll be going now." The feminine man turned around and left the room.

The newcomer removed the hood on his head and the face mask covering his nose, completely revealing his youthful face, before knocking on the silver door. His handsome face reflected on the lustrous silver plated door that laid emphasis on the blackness of his eyes and that of his hairs as they stood out in the reflection.

His knuckles had only hit the door barely, even before the sound reached his ears, the door swung open and he was welcomed by a group of thugs that dragged him into the room and knelt him down before a stairs with a plump old man on a platform on the topmost part. "Should we teach you before you leave your place, the Bronze room is where you should be, Didn't Asuke warn you not to exceed your boundaries?" One of the Goon's shouted. He raised his fist ready to land on the newcomer.

"Is this how you treat your guests?" The newcomers voice echoed around the room, his hands stretched forth to the Goon and they all stopped their actions halfway the moment they all saw the seal in his outstretched hand.

Everyone went "Uh?". They slowly raised him to his feet and pulled him to a seat. "We're sorry!!!" They all exclaimed at once.

The plump Old man rose from his seat, high on the platform and walked slowly down the steep stairs to the foot where the Newcomer sat. He raised his head from looking at the ground and stared at the newcomer. Not wasting anytime he said. "I can see you are an apprentice of the man who lives in Blackness, tell me what's your name?"

"My name is not so important, what's important is that the Man who lives in Blackness wants your help." The newcomer replied rudely gaining him an irritated look from the plump Old man.

"Fine!, what is it that you want?"

"Breathe in..." Yo-han breathed in a mouthful of air as Na-Gil instructed. "... and out... In again... and out..." Na-Gil continued and Yo-han followed the instructions for the breathing exercise. "Okay now you are good to go." He concluded and then they stepped out of the elevator and stopped in front of the door with the tag, 'Vice Chairman' on it, as directed by the receptionist at the front desk.

Inside IHTC's Vice Chairman's office, a fairly young man, sits in a huge seat in the middle of two men who looked like his advisers. They were more older in age and old enough to birth him. By the sides of the long wooden desk sat the two older men. They both had scary looks on their faces which by the way were no match for Yo-Han's. He had assumed his normal state the moment he entered into the room, radiating a powerful aura that put the two scary men to shame, causing their though-guy facade to crumble.

"Vice Chairman Jeffrey Yi, I am Park Yo-han, CEO of Min Corporation, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." The two men exchange an handshake before settling down to talk business.
