Gaeul didn't know what was going on.
In the darkness of the place she was in, she couldn't make out anything around her. There wasn't even a single ray of light entering the place, which made her even more distressed by the situation.
She had already lost track of time and didn't know if she had been stuck for a day or two.
But if she had to guess from her thirst, she would say that it had been more than a day.
Long enough for his father to be looking for him.
At least, she hoped so.
"Ugh..."
Trying to move, the restraints hurt his wrists, eliciting a groan of pain.
Gaeul liked to believe that she was a strong girl who hardly ever got upset.
But in this situation, his strength was being put to the test.
She was afraid, afraid that they would never find her. She just wanted to go back to her father and hug her friends again.
She had been a good girl all her life, so why was she being treated this way?
"Shit..." She cursed, and unable to see or move properly due to the restraints on her feet, she lay on the floor, snuggling into herself as tears threatened to flow from her eyes. "Daddy... Hobin... Yuji... Help!"
Gaeul was beginning to lose hope.
.
Convincing Tom Lee wasn't that difficult. Since he had been able to extract essential information from Eugene, he simply gave him Jinyoung's location, which was enough to have him on his side in the battle against Charles Choi.
He didn't think he would need that much help, but it was a way of sorting things out with no room for error. He had already wasted too much time, and if he took any longer, it would be like spitting in Gaeul's face.
With his location in hand, he wouldn't waste another second.
He would be going to her himself, while leaving Charles Choi to his allies.
With the White Tigers and Allied, along with Hostel and Big Deal, he knew he had nothing to worry about.
But just in case, he had made a call that would serve as a guarantee for the completion of his plan.
He had some very powerful contacts, and he felt that this was the ideal time to use them.
"Uh..."
In a forest far from the city, Yuji looked around in silence, his eyebrow rising as a car began to approach in the distance.
"Looks like they've arrived."
With the car approaching him, Yuji didn't move when it stopped right in front of him, a small smile appearing on his lips as the door was abruptly opened.
"You've got a lot of guts, Yuji!" With a figure stepping out of the car, Yuji immediately rolled his eyes. "Requesting our services like that! You think you're the bad guy?!"
"I didn't expect them to send you, Raian." Sighing, Yuji crossed his arms in discontent.
"Huh?! And who better to go on a killing spree with?" Stopping in front of Yuji, Raian gave an exaggerated smile. "You think you're the Rainmaker just because you're fucking Karura-"
"That's enough, Raian." Stepping out of the driver's door, another figure revealed itself. "It's great to see you, Yuji."
"Hollis! It's great to see you too!" With a friendly smile, Yuji pushed Raian aside, which infuriated Kure.
"Hey, don't ignore me! You son of a bitch!"
"Don't listen to that idiot. He's been angry ever since you traveled. Being beaten by Ohma so many times must have damaged his head even more." Hollis spoke as he raised his hand, Yuji immediately shaking it.
"You want to die?! It was a single defeat!" Raian growled, but the two men just ignored him.
"Oh, so Ohma has regained his strength? That's great to hear."
"He fully recovered it a few weeks ago, and has been training ever since."
Yuji nodded with a satisfied smile. "I'm still grateful that you complied with my request to keep him protected."
"There's no need to feel that way. You've been approved by the patriarch himself as the future successor to the clan along with Karura, it's normal to accept simple favors like that." Hollis cracked a small smile. "Besides, Ohma and Fusui seem to be getting on well. I wouldn't be surprised if something blossomed between the two of them."
"Oh." With a knowing look, Yuji nodded at the new information. "That's interesting to hear."
Since the end of the tournament, his relationship with the Kure clan had improved a lot, to the point where he was well respected by the clan members. Erioh saw him as a worthy future patriarch, and someone who would respect his granddaughter.
As for his strength, he was strong enough that no one in the clan could beat him in mano-a-mano combat, Raian with the complete removal being the only one capable of making him use "his all".
Although he had no formal position within the clan, he was respected enough to be considered a high-ranking member.
"So, what should we do?" Hollis went straight to the center point, his dark eyes turning curiously towards the forest.
"Simply put, we're going to start a small war. Nothing much, the enemies are decent at best. Raian will be enough for the more dangerous ones."
Raian frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I have some allies on the way, and a girl to save. You'll just help them with whatever they need, I don't want casualties on my side."
Hollis nodded in understanding, his hand moving thoughtfully to his chin.
"Another girl?" He asked with a judgmental look, which made Yuji shrug.
"A friend. The idiot kidnapped her to try and make me one of his henchmen."
"Certainly an idiot." Hollis said, and although annoyed, Raian nodded in agreement.
!
With the sound of a few vehicles approaching, Yuji turned to see about five cars moving in the distance, his face filling with satisfaction.
"Let's get started."
