Gyun pulled in, on his motorcycle into the parking lot of Gangbuk technical high, at 4:11
By now he'd changed out into a white button up dress shirt and stretchy dress pants, he wanted to look formal and more like dignified then just a crew head.
Gyun got off the motorcycle but kept the helmet on, he had a backpack with money filled envelopes. There were a few people who were still arriving, most recognized by the fact that he was wearing his helmet, they hurriedly paid their respects and bowed to him.
"We pay our respects to the head!"
Most of them held respect for Zero out of fear but also they truly acknowledged that Zero was a monster of a fighter.
"Ok that's enough, everybody but one or two can follow me, tell everybody we're moving inside to the construction site from before, and tell them spread the word as much as possible that we're going to be having ranking fights and bets on winners. We might as well publicize it and profit a bit from it since I'm sure there will be some party crashers anyway, tell them to leave a few people here in case any stragglers come by."
"Um Zero sir?"
"Yes"
"Why are we moving locations?"
"Because this place has some cameras and is in the open more, we'll get reported pretty fast, this was just a meeting place."
"Then can we bring alcohol and girls?"
The members could get the feeling Zero was raising his eyebrows even with his tinted helmet visor only showing there reflection. "You didn't already?" he said in a confused voice
"Aiyaa that's our crew head!"
They broke out in exclamations, Gyun chuckled, "just don't smoke near me and we're fine, I hate that shit".
"Yes sir"
"Ok then I'm leaving, I'll be waiting."
--------------------------------------------------
30 minutes later
Gyun was sitting on a fallen pillar on the third floor overlooking, he was watching the people arriving and partying at the moment. He sat with a few of his subordinates, there was a particularly loud bunch that were coming up the stairs. Gyun could recognize the voice even over the booming music, Chungsan and Jeok.
Chungsan appeared followed by Jeok a group of pretty girls, Chungsan spotted Gyun and headed over to him.
"Ah zero-nim we've gathered all possible candidates and challengers for the executive position. There's 17 challengers in total from your recommendations, within our crew, runaways who are provenly tough, and some guys who heard and are here for a position. They're all ready and we've got a few people setting up a gambling spot. We decided that all the executives and their positions will be up for contest, and those who win their challenge."
The girls crowded around Gyun and Chungsan, "good, let them know that the number one position is available since, I'm number zero. Though I'd like you to know I consider you to be the number one so I wish you the best of luck."
"B-But Zero-nim! I'm not that strong of a fighter, I was only an executive for my money making skills and connections! If you put my position up for contest then I'll be beat half to death before the nights through!"
"Well I think it's fair since I'm going to put my spot on the line too b-"
"WHAT! Your going to do what!" Chungsan was even more surprised to hear this then the news about his position.
"You heard me, I putting my position of number zero on the line, the head of Golden Age. But if risking your position is that big of a bother, I can just give you the last place executive position. Number 20 was it? Yeah you can have it if you forfeit the number 1 spot as vice head of the crew."
Chungsan drank a shot of alcohol that one of the girls poured for him, "I accept you proposal".
"Good, then we''ll start from the bottom inform the challengers of the rules, each challenger can only challenge once and once someone wins and gets an executive position they can't be challenged. The next rule, each executive can only be challenged once, and if more then one person challenges an executive then they can decide with rock papers scissors. Last rule for the match set up, if nobody challenges an executive and we move to the next executive and the executive keeps their position. For the fighting rules, keep everything in common sense, no weapons, eye gouging, or nut shots and you win by your opponent being unable to continue or forfeit. Those are the rules add more as you see fit, and set the betting odds yourself just make sure we profit."
"Uhm.... ok Zero-nim I think I understood, I'll inform the fight staff, but uhm one of the guys you invited says he wants to film the fights."
Gyun chuckled and smiled under the helmet, "no, in fact have some guys on lookout of anybody trying to film the fights. This is ranking fight is to reorganize our power and hierarchy, while making a small profit, we're not here to have our top fighters get their strengths and weaknesses get recorded. Oh but add some sort of cushion since we don't want our guys to be fighting on the hard rocky dirt"
"Understood Zero-nim, I'll handle it immediately, it will take a few minutes to set it up" Chungsan turned and hurried down the stairs.
"You guys can go enjoy the party, I'm waiting on someone" Gyun dismissed the girls away.
Gyun sipped a drink of an alchol as he took off his helmet to watch the matches with interest
--
1 hour later
Most matches went as Gyun expected, most executives held onto their positions and they were all quite capable. Though while the matches were now down to number 4 position, only 3 challengers were able to win against the previous executives. Though there were still 5 challengers who'd yet to challenge anybody yet.
Amongst them were, Minjae, Go, two runaways who looked pretty strong and wily, along with Yuki and someone who wasn't a runaway an was attracted by the executive position. Though Gyun couldn't see his face because of a mask and cap he could tell he was strong. Solhee had beaten had challenged and beat the number 8 executive, who was Seojun, with a guillotine choke a minute into their fight.
The time passed to challenge and they still did not challenge anybody, the number 4 executive stepped out of the ring. The number three executive, who was Jeok stepped in, Chungsan who was acting as the ring announcer, he was standing on the improvised ring of old large foam planks, that looked somewhat softer then the ground.
"The number 3 position is up for grabs! Challengers step into the ring if you wish to fight for his position! If anybody wants to fight the second year powerhouse! Step forward now !"
One of the runaway pair who looked pretty skinny and a tad malnourished, stepped forward, Chungsan immediately set to hyping the crowd.
"Ah and you are?!"
The kid replied so quietly even Gyun couldn't make out his answer, but Chungsan rectified this. " Dohyun Jung a 15 year old middle school runaway, wants to challenge Jeok the number 3! Well since no other challengers wish to challenge the number three, then Dohyun automatically gets the right of challenge, well then we will be starting in 2 minutes so prepare your bets!"
Chungsan chuckled as the crowd laughed, the kid was short and scrawny yet he was challenging someone who was muscular and large like Jeok, it was almost laughable.
But Gyun sensed an animal in this boy, he didn't look like a fighter to Gyun, no Gyun saw a survivor. Someone who fought on instinct and would win through grit and desperation, someone dangerous in a fight, though the kid was still below Jeok in terms of skill.
"huh, Jeok will lose this if he gets arrogant"
"Really now?" A sarcastic voice from Solhee who wanted to watch the matches with him sat next to him. Gyun who had no reason to decline since she'd seen his face had allowed her to, telling the guard at the base of the stairs to let her through.
"Yeah this fight will be interesting no matter what"
"Well I agree on that"
Gyun turned away from her to focus back on the fight as Chungsan entered back into the ring after a short while. "Okay all bets are closed and set, now...Are!...You!....Readyyy!!!!"
