It was the morning of January 22.
In the VIP section of Mivra Hospital, Huai Nanren was quietly snacking in a corner.
The phone on the desk was muted.
The phone was given by Ji Hofan. If Yun were to see this, he would understand that it was the same phone call he stole from the nurse.
Elena had been sedated at home, calm but depressed for the next few days.
Rance was struggling to settle the backlog, while Ji Hofan was preparing to hold the successor exam that would soon be held.
Gin was quietly giving more weight to the military group, thinking about the imminent test.
Other young Ji members too.
By noon that day, Yun unexpectedly showed signs of movement.
Within a few hours, he regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
Finding himself in the same room at the hospital, he wondered for a moment whether time had been turned back on.
He sighed in pain as he tried to get up from the bed. "Feel"
The white bandage was smeared with tiny drops of blood.
His movements caught the attention of the boy in the corner. As soon as he saw that he was awake, he got up and came to help.
"Are you okay ?" He asked while supporting her.
Yun was surprised when he looked at the owner of the hand.
Another villain?
Yun more or less had an opinion about this person. His name is Huai Nanren, he grew up in an orphanage because he had no family.
His later adopters died in an accident. He took care of her on behalf of her uncle's inherited property, and since then a hellish life has begun for Huai Nanren. Belittled by his uncle, his self-confidence took a huge hit and he slowly became withdrawn.
He was a calm, gentle, and kind person. He hasn't grown up to be a fictional villain yet.
But deep inside, his soul was shattered. His self-contempt was growing. He felt more and more inferior, too low to deserve anything.
However, Yun was no longer a person who could empathize. After all these years, these feelings have completely blunted.
Yun slapped his hand and pushed.
The boy was startled, his gaze averted with sadness.
"Don't touch me" is a low tone, the boy's voice is beautiful, but for Nanren it was just awareness of the disgust in his voice. His eyes reddened and he said "Okay", bowing his head.
There was an embarrassing silence for a while.
"Mom...how is she?"
Yun knew that this person was adopted by his family, so he couldn't help but ask the question that was on his mind.
"It's not good, it's getting worse," Nanren reported lightly.
"Take this medicine, make my mother drink it without anyone knowing. Add it to the lemonade so that no one will doubt it," he explained calmly as he placed the bottle on the table next to him.
Huai Nanren was nervous as he stared at the yellow liquid inside the bottle.
He didn't think that Yun would seriously harm his mother, however, if something went wrong, it would be his fault.
Seeing his thoughts, Yun sneered, "I'm not someone who has enough free time to mess with you. Besides, I'm not interested in blaming a weak child."
Huai Nanren blushed with embarrassment as his full thought was seen.
"T-Okay" he took the bottle in a low voice.
"Do not miss a drop, it is a very expensive medicine," Yun sharply warned. Although he was now quite rich in points by completing all the missions, he was not wasteful enough to waste points for nothing.
Nanren shook his head.
"Okay, you can go. I'll rest." He leaned back weakly, massaging his forehead. It was too hard just to talk right now.
"Go and give him the medicine as soon as possible"
Huai Nanren left the room after blankly staring at the figure with his eyes closed.
He stood absently with the bottle in his hand.

"Nanren? Have you come to see Elena? You're a good boy, compared to someone," Hofan grumbled. Of course, he was kidding.
"Oh, my throat was dry too.." He smashed the lemonade on the tray in one go and placed the empty glass on the tray.
Nanren was petrified.
Even when Hofan left, it stood there like a statue for a while.
Her hands trembled with worry, her face instantly pale as she cried out, blushing, "What shall I do?" he said with eyes filled with despair.
The real world darkened.
***
"What? Did my grandfather drink?" He could not look at Yun, who was standing on one corner of the bed with a blackened face. His voice was filled with deep anger that he was trying to suppress.
"Y-Yes." He lowered his head even more.
Nanren was quite intimidated by this person, whom he had only known for half a day.
"Ahh, seriously" massaging his forehead increased in intensity. She exuded a rather murderous aura with furrowed eyebrows. Nanren trembled with fear.
"Joyful!"
"Yeah-" her voice was shaky.
"Take that bottle, luckily I was prepared instead of giving it all to you," he muttered as he took out the second bottle.
Nanren froze.
Well...
Didn't she trust him from the start? His eyes darkened, maybe he was right...
"Go quickly, don't wait any longer" he waved away. Yun was in a pretty bad mood, plus he was tired too. Therefore, he was in no condition to care about Nanren's feelings.
Thus, Nanren was expelled from the room for the second time in the day.
Lying on the bed after Nanren left, Yun wearily closed his eyes.
He hasn't contacted the gang for almost a week. The underground must be getting ready to move.
He took out his phone and texted the number starting with xx.
- Inform the gang that I won't be visiting for long, but not to let them loose.
There was no answer.
It's like a faulty line that isn't being used.
But it's a private line that belongs to Yun. This line has now been given to his most trusted subordinate. No one has ever seen or recognized his face. But everyone in the gang knew that he was his right-hand man.
This man liked to stand in the dark and do things quietly.
By the way, 7 known gangs were already under his command.
His subordinate...
The leader of the Black Dragon was the emperor. This number belonged to him.
7 gangs accepted his leadership along with their leader. Of course, this is not a job that can be taken for granted, but no one could stand still, fascinated by the greed for power. Under Yun's leadership, of course, each one of them was gaining.
And each of them knew that there was an irreversible path.
Either you will obey or you will fight to the death.
Faced with Yun's power, he decided to surrender before anyone stood up.
Also, it was not a profitable business, so no one thought of returning.
Yun was certainly a generous leader.
"Black Dragon, Poison Lotus, Needle, Silver Viper, Scavengers, Hyenas, Scorpion."
All of them became their men, the leader of each gang. But the gang did not unite. It was like separate organs of one whole body, though they remained separate. Underground, each was vital.
And now that if there was no news from him, the inner restlessness would begin, Yun not wanting to deal with this headache, chose to send news directly.
