The Criminal Store Chap 04

Han Seojun sat quietly in his office, focused on his work. One monitor displayed office documents, while another showed a live feed of Kim Jiwon's apartment.

Hidden cameras had been installed throughout Jin's home, allowing Seojun to watch him whenever he wished.

Jin wasn't unaware of them.

He knew.

But he had no choice.

Seojun rested his chin against his hand, his eyes fixed on the screen.

"I want to see him... but I don't have time right now."

He let out an irritated sigh before glaring at the monitor.

A knock echoed through the office.

"Come in."

The secretary carefully stepped inside.

"Sir... the President is asking for you."

His voice trembled slightly.

Seojun looked at him coldly.

"I don't want to go. Tell him that."

The secretary hesitated.

"P-Please, sir... the President is waiting for you."

"..."

"Get lost."

The secretary immediately lowered his head and hurried out of the office.

Seojun released a deep sigh before standing up. He straightened his suit and reluctantly made his way toward the President's office.

He knocked once.

"Come in."

Seojun entered.

"Yes, Father. Why did you call me in the middle of my work?"

His voice remained calm and emotionless.

President Han looked at him with cold eyes.

"I've warned you enough."

"If you don't get rid of your useless obsession..."

"...I'll take matters into my own hands."

Seojun frowned.

"Why are you interfering? It's none of your concern."

President Han remained completely unfazed.

"I have a proposal."

"A close friend of mine has a son."

"He's an Omega."

"I want you to marry him."

Silence filled the room.

"I've already told you countless times."

"I have no intention of getting married."

Although anger burned inside him, Seojun kept his composure.

He was speaking to his father...

Not an ordinary man.

President Han's voice turned even colder.

"If you don't get rid of Kim Jiwon..."

"...I will."

"And this isn't a warning."

Seojun said nothing.

He simply turned around.

Bang!

The office door slammed shut behind him.

President Han quietly muttered,

"...Kim Jiwon."

On the Other Side...

Jin sat inside a hidden room concealed beneath his apartment.

Large monitors covered the walls.

One displayed Mike's movements.

Another showed Seojun.

Several others monitored different locations throughout Seoul.

Jin calmly took a sip of his coffee.

"Hmm..."

His phone suddenly rang.

It was Yeongjun.

Jin answered immediately.

"Hello."

"Any information?"

Yeongjun remained silent for a moment.

"I found something..."

"...but it's complicated."

"The man isn't who he appears to be."

"I tried digging into his records, but almost everything has been erased."

"The only thing I managed to confirm..."

"...is that he's the leader of the Carter Organization."

"The real boss."

"But almost nobody knows that."

Jin leaned back in his chair.

"Carter Organization..."

"I see."

Yeongjun continued,

"You also asked me to investigate that drug."

"I found its main distribution point."

"It's used heavily inside Carter Bar."

"It's mostly connected to..."

"...sex-related activities."

Jin slowly smiled.

"So..."

"Now we know where the drug is being distributed."

"What's its name?"

"STAR 2.0."

A faint chuckle escaped Jin's lips.

"Our next operation will be at Carter Bar."

"Be ready."

"And keep watching Seojun."

"I will."

The call ended.

Jin looked at Mike's live feed on one of the monitors.

Mike had just entered his black car.

A small smile appeared on Jin's face.

"So..."

"You're involved with drugs too, Mike."

His fingers lightly tapped against the desk.

"We'll meet soon..."

"...Mike."

A mysterious smile spread across his lips.

The moonlight filtered through the room, reflecting in Jin's emerald-green eyes.

Those eyes held countless secrets...

Secrets that no one had uncovered yet.
