KJ was carefully observing all the guests. He knew these were members of the Cartel. Even if Madam Hong was after Ash, the Cartel had a different target: KJ.
"KJ, come in," a voice came out from the small Bluetooth device he was wearing in his ear. It was so small that he could easily hide it with his hair.
"Hyun Jung," he muttered.
"KJ, I still think you shouldn't have gone there on your own like this," Hyun Jung said in a tensed tone. "The original target of the Cartel, is you. What if they harm you?"
KJ scanned the area. People were chattering away but he could feel them keeping an eye on his every move. There were a few men in black suits, who were silently tailing him.
"I can handle myself," KJ tried to reassure him. Hyun Jung was not appeased.
"Be careful, KJ," he said before hanging up.
