Chapter 49
Chapter 49 – A Small Flame Behind a Big Name
After G-Force's victory in the underground debate arena, their popularity skyrocketed.
The whole campus was buzzing about "The Absurd Gang that made the seniors bow."
But beneath the laughter, celebration, and viral TikToks...
Cain Seo-Jun was making his move.

That morning, in the main corridor of campus...
Gevran had just stepped out of his Business Math class when a senior student approached with a polite smile.
"Hey, you're Gevran, right? Someone asked me to pass this to you," he said, handing over a black envelope.
Gevran frowned and opened it.
Inside was a single old photo.
A photo of a young man—his father, Jido—speaking with a man in military uniform.
On the back, a single message was scrawled:
> "Are you sure your family's history is clean?"
— C.S.

Later that afternoon – G-Force HQ (Mi Yong's basement café)
Gevran laid the photo on the table.
Haesung raised a brow. "This is a threat. Cain's getting dirty."
Jiwan snorted. "He thinks we'll freak out over one shady photo? I could make a hundred memes out of it. Boom—instant viral."
Mi Yong leaned in. "We need to be careful. Cain's family has deep media and political ties. If they dig up some 'old sins' from your dad's past, it could backfire on the presidential campaign."
Eunwoo flipped his hair. "Relax. If we need damage control, my sister's agency has netizen distraction down to an art. One celeb scandal and boom—public amnesia."
Gevran looked around the room at his team, one by one.
"I won't run from my family's past.
But we're not playing by their rules.
We strike back—our way."

That night – Cain Seo-Jun's private room
He stared at a large screen displaying a sprawling web of connections between Seoul's elite families.
In the center: photos of G-Force members, linked to politicians, tycoons, and celebrities.
Cain's lips curled into a thin smile.
"They may be powerful…
But I know their weak points."

Chapter 49 Ending:
On the campus television screen, a breaking news segment appeared:
> "Jido, former mayor of Seoul, rumored to have been involved in secret negotiations with the Seo family during the 2003 economic crisis. Is this the beginning of an open conflict between two political dynasties?"
Gevran stared at the screen, fists clenched.
"If this is the game Cain started…
Then I'll be the one to finish it—on my terms."

Next Morning – Seoul University Courtyard
Rumors spread like wildfire.
Students clustered around their phones.
Posters of Jido's campaign were suddenly defaced.
A student YouTuber went live, shouting:
> "Political games are hitting our campus! The Jido family might not be as squeaky clean as they look!"
Eunwoo stormed into G-Force HQ, tablet in hand.
> "It's trending on five platforms. Even netizen grandma forums are posting theories now."
Mi Yong pulled up the media source list.
> "Look at this... Three of the articles came from shell companies owned by the Seo Corporation. Cain's using ghost media to ignite a smear campaign."

Student Media Room – That Afternoon
Gevran entered calmly. All eyes turned. A student journalist raised her mic.
> "Is it true your father made deals with the military regime in 2003?"
> "Will he withdraw from the presidential race?"
> "Are you resigning from the university council?"
Gevran took a breath. Then:
> "My father's past isn't mine to erase or rewrite. But I stand here, not as his shadow— I stand as someone who chooses integrity."
He locked eyes with the cameras.
> "If anyone wants to bring the truth out—then bring it all. But I warn you: Truth doesn't bow to fear. And I won't either."
---
Later That Night – Rooftop of Seoul University Dorms
The G-Force crew gathered in silence, watching the city lights below.
Haesung broke the tension.
> "So… what now? Cain's got the upper hand in public opinion."
Gevran looked up, eyes fierce.
> "Then we take the battlefield he chose—media, politics—and make it ours."
Jiwan raised his can of soda.
> "Operation: 'Shatter the Shadow,' then?"
Rhea appeared at the rooftop door, grinning.
> "Let's make the world remember: the louder the lie, the brighter the truth burns."
---
End of Chapter 49
> The first shot has been fired.
The battlefield is no longer hidden.
Legacy, loyalty, and power collide.
But when fire meets steel—
A revolution is forged.
> The game of dynasties has begun.
And G-Force is no longer just a student gang.
They're a movement.
