Hello there! Welcome! 

This is a rewritten version of a story that I made back in 2016 called "Forced Eternity". You can't find it now because it's been archived as of a few years ago(and for a good reason). 

Before you read, please remember: this is a work of fiction, all real people depicted in this does NOT represent who they are in the real world whatsoever. Also, it's fanfiction... don't bring real world logic into it.

Anyway, hope you enjoy reading this! And if not, I'm so sorry.

Royal One-Seven is a business corporation founded by a man named Choi Seungcheol, who runs the company with 12 other men by his side. They had worked hard towards making a name for themselves and earning quite a reputation--so much so that they were able to be named the second best company, making very little distance in reputation between themselves and Rose Corporation. On the surface it's just a regular office, but under that façade is a group of highly trained men who run an underground syndicate for more under the table business; planning heists, stealing illegal firearms, selling and delivering contraband, and they even take requests from clients who wish to... silence those who know too much.

While getting the job done, they remain poised and professional. Many young thugs and groups fear the group of men who commit such brutal crimes while dressed in expensive custom-made suits. And with that underground reputation, they had earned themselves the name of "The Diamond Clan"

Lei Longwei (23)- Heir and only child of Chiaoxian and Qiuyue. At 15, he was sent overseas from China to manage the family business chain in South Korea, but he believes it was more so his father and stepmother could get rid of him for good.

Rose Corporation is an international trading company that has taken part of many projects. It started off as small delivery and textile trading company, and soon branched out into big shipping and trading company that attracted many business partners from around the world.

And as big as the company is above ground trading goods, they started business underground a few years later to earn more trust and more business partners on the side, dealing all sorts of contraband to those who would benefit the company later, though once you retract from the deal, it costs more than just goods and money, it also costs your life.
