Chapter 37: Retaliation Begins
📅 Date: August 25, 1994
📍 Seoul, South Korea
The air was thick with smoke. Jin's head pounded as he pushed himself upright. His luxury sedan was upside down, the front crushed from the explosion. Blood trickled down the side of his face, but the sharp pain only fueled his focus.
📢 "Boss! Are you okay?!"
His bodyguard, Kang-ho, had already forced open the door and was scanning the surroundings, his pistol drawn.
Jin wiped the blood from his forehead and exhaled slowly. "I'm fine."
But his mind was racing. This wasn't just an attack. This was a declaration of war.
📌 The Questions Running Through Jin's Mind:
✔ Who ordered the hit?
✔ Was this connected to Microsoft, Hollywood, or Wall Street?
✔ How would he strike back?
The police sirens echoed in the distance, but Jin didn't have time to wait. Whoever did this would try again.
He had to act first.

Jin sat in a dimly lit conference room, facing two of his best cyber-intelligence experts.
📢 "Trace the money. Find out who funded the hit."
One of the experts, a former military hacker named Seo-min, nodded. "We've already started. The explosives used were military-grade. Whoever did this isn't just some street gang."
Jin's eyes darkened. "Government involvement?"
Seo-min hesitated before responding. "Possible. But more likely… private contractors."
📌 Jin's Mindset:
✔ This wasn't just a business war anymore.
✔ Someone wanted him erased—permanently.
✔ He needed absolute control over the battlefield.
And to do that, he needed information.
