Prologue

"Who's the craziest person I know?" Gun said questioning the question he was asked. He seemed to be talking to someone as he sat down on a small chair in front of a large wooden desk.

"If by 'crazy' you mean impulsive and annoying I would say it's Goo, full offence". Gun answered the question to some degree and then turned to face his side where Goo was sitting. Goo had a pouted face.

"We both know 'he' was more crazy than me, lucky that guy's gone, *sigh*" Goo responded to Gun's dis by redirecting their conversation to a certain person they use to know who fit the term 'crazy', in Goo's opinion, much better. Gun crossed his arms over his chest and adjusted his sunglasses.

"Yeah, he was crazy, but the smart, genius crazy, you're just crazy crazy" Gun responded as he sent Goo a serious look with a mocking smirk. Goo in response stuck out his tongue and leaned towards Gun only to lean back when Gun swung his fist at him.

Gun calmed down and continued speaking with his fist raised ready to swat at Goo, "yeah, so, if I was to say who represented the word 'crazy' it would've been 'him' but he's long dead and we killed him, so your answer is Goo, currently, maybe Tom Lee". Gun stopped talking when Goo leaned in to mock him again, this time Gun was fast enough to flick Goo on the forehead. Goo recoiled dramatically and held his forehead, he whined out an high pitch "Ow" as he did so, sending Gun a sad face to which Gun responded with a smirk.

"Can you tell me about this person you were talking about?" The person behind the wooden desk asked. The person behind the desk had a feminine voice.

Gun closed his eyes for a second before the largest and most unnerving smile, "he was a monster, the only reason Goo and I survived that fight was because I got a lucky hit that caused a heart attack, if it wasn't for that he would have really killed us. It was one of the most thrilling fights of my life!"

Goo sat up with a dire expression but then it shifted to a playful terrified one, "I saw him knock out a guy with a toothpick from like 6 yards away. A toothpick. A fucking toothpick!" Goo pulled out a toothpick from his pocket and tried to flick it at Gun quickly for both revenge and to emphasise his point. He flicked the toothpick but it didn't even go the distance between them and it went of in the wrong direction hitting the side of the desk. Gun scowled at him but Goo was looking away whistling with sweat going down his nervous face.

Gun ignored Goo for a moment and went back to talking to the person behind the desk, "I heard that guy was the son of some general or something, we're just lucky we weren't caught, the guy was skilled, not just heavily trained, but a prodigy like the ten geniuses, we even nicknamed him the 'genius of war' due to how good he was at fighting, leading, strategising and many other things" Gun went silent for a second as he looked to the person.

"Why are you asking us who we thought were the craziest?" Gun raised an eyebrow "Crystal?"

The person behind the desk was none other than Crystal Choi, the daughter of the chairman of the HNH Group, Charles Choi. Crystal was a beautiful young woman with an amazing figure and black flowing hair. She was looking over business documents as she is the business genius of the ten geniuses but stopped in favour of a conversation with Gun and Goo.

"I was just curious 'cause I met someone I see as 'crazy'. So, anyway, who were you guys talking about?" Crystal asked as she thought about a certain boy she recently met.

Gun's face turned deathly serious, "his name was-"

"Do-Yun?!" Tom Lee shouted at the top of his lungs as he stood from his chair with a phone held to his ear. "I heard he was dead?! So he's alive!?" Tom Lee shouted into the phone as a smile grew on his face.

Tom Lee started jumping around like an excited school girl at what the other person said in response, "yes, he is alive, he's been travelling, training, fighting and doing tasks for me. He will be returning to Korea soon and I want to have him work with you, it will give him chances earn money and gain experience. So will you take him?"

Tom Lee gleefully accepted, "of course!" Suddenly Tom Lee's voice went from cheerful to concerned but the smile on his face barely diminished, "but may I ask, why do you want your son to work here?"

The man on the other end chuckled and then replied, "because, hyung, you're one of the few people in Korea I know are trustworthy and strong enough to protect him if he runs into a situation he can handle. But you better not baby him, challenge him, if he comes back weaker it's going to be your head!"

Tom Lee's face stiffened as his teeth clenched. "You do remember who you're talking to, right?"

The man on the other end was silent for a moment but then spoke "yes I do, but we were both part of Gapryong's fist, so I doubt you would let my kid rest. Just don't try looking at his 'danglers' you pervert."

Tom Lee's smile returned at full force as he flexed, "hmm, but if that kid misbehaves he'll get a spanking". They both began laughing till they said their goodbyes. Tom Lee hung up and then dropped into his chair as he relaxed his body. "When did that shit say his son was coming again?" Tom Lee said as he smiled with anticipation and curiosity.
