Big Deal Street
Three girls and a boy with elephant ears sat face to face. Sally looked at the representative from Big Deal and raised her eyebrow in suspicion. "You're the leader of Big Deal? I thought it was the guy with the scar on his lips."
Luah Im coughed. "Ahem. Our leader is a shy person. He's not very good with talking."
Elsewhere, Jake was playing cards with two other men. Suddenly, he started to hiccup. "Hmm? Is someone badmouthing me?"
Vin Jin played his move. "No one can defeat me tonight!"
Vasco, on the other hand, looked confused. Jake coughed and pointed. "You're holding the cards reversed."
Vasco exclaimed in shock. "What?! I thought these cards were playing tricks on me!"
Vin Jin laughed. "Just admit that you don't know how to play. Hahaha!"
Vasco snorted. "Just wait!"
Jake sighed. "These guys... How do they even have their own gangs?"
Back at the meeting, Luah Im introduced herself. "I am the No. 5 of Big Deal."
Jace nodded. "No. 5? That's quite a high position. No wonder Jake Kim trusts you enough to be Big Deal's representative."
Just then, a slender hand squeezed his ear. "Your ears are really squishy to touch. But they don't give you the right to join a women's meeting, do they?"
Jace's whole body shivered. "Wh-What are you doing?!"
Mary returned to her seat. "Don't avoid my question, squishy ears."
Jace brought his hands forward and leaned in. "First of all, this is not a women's meeting. Second of all, I am not 'squishy ears,' but Jace Park. And finally, let's begin our meeting."
Luah Im nodded. "Yes, Mr. Squishy Ears is right. We don't have time to waste now."
Sally nodded. "Yes. But don't you think 'elephant ears' is a more suitable name?"
Just as the women were about to get distracted once again, Jace snapped. "THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MEETING, FOR GOD'S SAKE!"
All the girls snapped back to him with cold gazes. Jace's back drenched in sweat. "I-I'm saying that we don't have time to waste, right? I've already prepared a plan according to my information."
Luah Im, also known as the brain of Big Deal, finally returned to her role. "We have one too. But that's not one I support. Let's hear yours first."

A few days later.
All the members of Big Deal gathered on the street in rows. In front of them stood four figures. They were the pillars of Big Deal: No. 6 Lineman, No. 4 Brad Lee, No. 3 Jason Yoon, and finally the No. 2 of Big Deal—the Sword of Jake Kim—Jerry Kwon.
Jason called out to Jerry. "...Jerry?"
"Hmm?"
"Not starting?"
"I have stage fright."
Jason sighed. "You want me to do it then?"
"Yeah."
Jason shook his head as he walked forward. "Damn it. So troublesome."
He stopped in front of the members of Big Deal. "Alright, did all of you eat already?"
There was only silence. Jason sighed. "First of all, I'm sorry. I'm not as good at talking as Boss Jake. In any case, if you're here, that means you must know this already. WORKERS ARE GOING TO COME FOR US!"
Jason approached the members. "A fuck-load of them will be here! Several times the number we have! And they'll also be way stronger than us! That's natural since they live in good conditions!"
Jason stopped for a moment and took a deep breath. "...But so what if they have all that? In the end, Big Deal is going to win. Each person will take on five people. If you're not able to take down five people, don't tell anyone that you're from Big Deal."
This time, the whole crowd shouted. "WOAHHHHHHH!"

Prestigious Private Middle School
Eugene was sitting at his desk. A member of the Workers entered. "Chairman, I'm entering."
Eugene's voice echoed. "How did it go?"
The Worker member stood upright. "I just finished talking to the reporters. There won't be any damage caused to the Workers. Everything is proceeding smoothly according to your plan. Our members are at Big Deal's street now. We've also confirmed the situation on the street. Big Deal is ready to fight us."
Eugene's voice echoed once again. "Alright. Great job."
"Thank you, Chairman. I will now—" Before he could finish his words, a flying kick connected to his jaw.
It was Jake Kim, who jumped inside with a flying kick, breaking through a window. The Worker member went flying and crashed to the ground.
Jake sighed. "...This is harder than I thought. It looked pretty easy in the movies." Then, as if he hadn't seen the Worker member previously, he sarcastically apologized. "Ah. Sorry, sorry. I've never made an entrance like this."
Several members of the Workers rushed in. "CHAIRMAN! WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?"
But they were shocked to see the tall figure standing before them. "JAKE KIM?!"
All of them panicked.
"Jake Kim is here!"
"What the hell is the security team doing?!"
Jake Kim smiled and started to put on his father's gloves. "War has always ended once the leader is captured. Defeat Big Deal? No."
A moment of silence emerged before Jake continued. "Capture Eugene. It's the start of defeating the Workers."

Big Deal Street
Jerry Kwon sent three men flying back with one punch. Beside him lay dozens of bodies belonging to the Workers. Before him stood rows of Workers members.
Jerry said intimidatingly, "Stand down. No one will be passing this street."
A large figure with broad shoulders walked out from the rows of Workers. It was Sato Kazuma. "Interesting. Why are you choosing to act up?"
With that, he threw a palm strike at Jerry's face. "How dare a weakling like you act up?" Jerry moved forward at the same time and threw a punch at Kazuma's face. Both strikes connected, blood gushing from their faces.
---
On the other hand, Jason and Brad were facing off against more than a dozen Workers alone. Each strike of theirs knocked out at least two people. Bodies were flying left and right, blood painting the street red.
Jason murmured. "War has started, huh? You won't be able to go back to your street."
Brad asked, "Are you alright?"
"I have to be. This is just the start."
"Great."
Brad turned to the other members of Big Deal. "How are you guys?"
Fierceness could be seen on the Big Deal members' faces.
"We're good on our side too! We should be able to hang on at this level! The Workers aren't as strong as we thought!"
Jason murmured, "That's because of my speech..." Just then, he noticed a car incoming. It stopped beside the Workers. A guy wearing a blue coat with a cigarette in his mouth stepped out. All the Workers members bowed down. "BOSS!"
Magami Kenta lit his cigarette. "Don't you dare lose. We're the Magami."
Kenta's eyes scanned through the crowd for Jerry. "...Is he not here?"
Jason came forward as he instructed Brad. "Brad, I'll leave the small fries to you."
"Jason?" Brad called out.
Jason shook his head as he approached Kenta. "I have a feeling. That's my opponent. It's about time I made my appearance."

Elsewhere, Lineman alongside several other Big Deal members faced off against several Workers members. They were all badly bruised and out of breath.
Line shouted. "GUYS! ARE YOU TIRED ALREADY?!"
The Big Deal members shouted back.
"NOT AT ALL! WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!"
"ARE YOU THE ONE WHO'S GETTING TIRED?!"
Lineman smiled tiredly. "...Let's go."
Others shouted, "Yeah!" With that, all of them rushed toward the Workers members.
"WE'LL PROTECT BIG DEAL! HERE COMES THE HIDDEN DRAGON OF BIG DEAL!"
"WOAHHHHHHH!"
Just then, a bike's engine roared. The bike came flying over Lineman's head. It went over him and skidded to a stop. On it sat Kuroda Ryuhei.
The Big Deal members were shocked.
"IT'S THE BIKER GANG!"
"I GUESS THEY'RE WITH THE WORKERS TOO!"
"LET'S BUY THOSE BIKES TOO!"
Just then, Ryuhei rushed at Lineman and threw a punch at Lineman's stomach. It was so fast that Lineman couldn't even react. He doubled over, coughing out blood. "KUGH...!"
Ryuhei, on the other hand, seemed a bit surprised and disappointed. "...What? What?! Are you down from just one punch?!" He crouched down at the fallen Lineman and pulled his own hair. "You looked pretty strong, so I threw a punch... Maybe I should have held back."
He sighed. "Let's see, 'I am sorry' in Korean is... I'm sworry...?"
Lineman gritted his teeth, but he couldn't move anymore. He understood that it was over for him now.
Just then, Ryuhei's own bike flew at him. Ryuhei turned back at the last moment but couldn't dodge it. The bike crashed against him.
Two men wearing sunglasses in the night stood before Ryuhei. They were none other than Jewoo and Taebong. Jewoo laughed. "Sorry. Whenever I see a bike, I have the urge to throw it."

Back on Jake's side, he was bashing around the Workers. He punched a guy in the face, and blood gushed out.
"STOP HIM!"
A few more surrounded him and threw punches. Jake ducked down, and the punches flew over him.
"STOP JAKE KIM!"
Jake sprang up and threw a straight punch at one of their faces. All the members rushed at him again.
"PROTECT THE CHAIRMAN!"
Jake punched another one in the face and dashed past him. Everyone shouted.
"DON'T LET HIM GET PAST US! IF HE CAPTURES CHAIRMAN, THEN THE WORKERS WILL FAIL!"
But they still couldn't catch him. Jake reached Eugene and grabbed his head before slamming it against the desk.
"CHAIRMAN!"
Jake announced, "It's over. It's all over. I got the leader."
