The strong scent of alcohol was soaring through the air which was accompanied by the pleading and begs of a man yet the clicking of metal lighter flickering open and shut was defeating them as it holds more power over the lowly man just like the owner of it who possessed greater authority and dominance over the begging man who finally understands his place but it was too late the hell was already ablaze for him, despite his prayers beseeching for mercy he won't receive any

"Please show mercy for the sake of my children! please Lord Taehyung"

a man who looked in his late forties dragged his head to the ground praising Taehyung sitting in the tall leather chair like he was some god in the Ancient Greece, his legs were crossed on one another, broad back rests against the head of the chair while he flickers open the lighter and shuts it close, unbothered by the begs of the other like they never crossed through his ears, he looked like a grim reaper in his full black suit and long coat above the suit jacket comes to take the soul of his next victim and the rules were simple, no pleading, no bargaining would be made once he arrived

"You received our warning didn't you? You should've thought about your children when you were invading Kim's territory"

A man wearing a midnight blue suit says from behind Taehyung, his voice was silky yet held a power just like his rank in this mafia clan, right hand of the biggest mafia lord in Korea comes with an authority that no one could deny and with his words the man started trembling and panicking "please! Lord Taehyung please!" And before his hand could reach even the shoes of their boss he was dragged back by the guards wearing all black like they were devotees of shadow

And a click of Taehyung's tongue silences the whole room, he stood up from his seat and everyone knew the show was over, even the crying man who could see his death walking closer to him "You should've known better than to pull cheap tricks on the Devil" with that being said his guards abandoned his trembling body following their boss's lead, the terror was cutting through the skin of the man while Taehyung started walking away from him and when he reached the end of the factory's basement where all the alcohol were held and in the process the lighter in his hand flicked open again, with his back still facing the man on his knees, Taehyung threw the ignited lighter back into the place and like a match thrown on a hayloft, the entire basement took mere second to be lit ablaze

Taehyung keeps the pace of his feet as the cries and screams of the burning man echoe from behind which was serene music to his ears as fire trails behind him like a golden veil of honor and power along with his men that walks beside him shielding their kingpin, loyalty burning in their eyes which was accompanied by the fear that if they dared to go against him they will be swallowed by an inferno and will face the cruelest death one could ever imagine as burning their rivals and victims was the trademarked style of Kims who were reigning on Korea for centuries with their power that engraved their name on people's heart with the bloodied ink of fear

But this man, Kim Taehyung takes his legacy with a strength and potency no one held before, he was the most powerful man in his bloodline who rose the Kim clan at its highest peak finally defeating their centuries old rivals Parks. It was another reason that bound the men working under Kim clan with him as he earned their respect and loyalty with his great skills and intelligence but the throne he was now sitting on came with a huge price that no one knows, a horrifying secret that is deep buried in his heart, a sacrifice that made him the Lord Taehyung everyone fears and prays to never come across in their lives as it gets cursed just by the name of him.

The famous wine factory that once was under Kim's shadow and was abandoned after betraying them was burning in the flames of their own mistakes and remorse by the hand of the man which once was a protector of it who stepped in his car, a Mercedes Benz to be specific waiting for his arrival while one of his only men who had the permit to sit beside the Lord Taehyung sat in the backseat giving a go call to the driver who started the engine of their ride
