Chapter 7: Admiring, the “Gang Queen”

Charlie and his comrades were waiting for the "Gang Queen" to arrive as they have beaten two thugs who were gang members of Hayul. They were bleeding with their wrecked face and tied up on the floor. They were pleading to let them go and will not spill any information to their leader, Hayul. Hayul was the leader of X-Gang who discreetly sold drugs in different cities and was now trying to infiltrate Gangnam to expand his drug dealings as a business that has a connection with one of the governors in Gangnam.

The "Gang Queen" arrived in her all-white outfit without a bra underneath the white tux in her black stiletto heels, and black sunglasses as she approached. She had two unknown bodyguards carrying a Tachi, Katana with them. They don't associate with or talk to any of her gang members except for special orders.

"Boss, what are we going to do with these thugs? It seems Hayul has already infiltrated some of the suburbs around Gangnam distributing drugs in hidden alleys." Charlie explained, trying to remove the blood stain on his hand while his three comrades were smoking and waiting for orders.

The "Gang Queen" went in front of the two, without removing her sunglasses.

"Is that so?" she squats sitting with her arms on her knees. The two thugs looked at her, groaning and begging her. She does not look scary but who knows what she will do. An innocent and alluring face with dark blood in her soul.

"So, Hayul is your leader?" She asked politely.

"Yes, we are just following his order, please spare us. We are not going to say anything." The thug with the most wrecked face pleaded.

"Yes, of course, you are just following your leader's order. What can I do about it?" She sarcastically said and smirked. She stands, grab one of his guard katanas, and slides it out. The two thugs begin to shiver in fear.

"But, there's one thing I hate. I don't like drugs in Gangnam." without hesitation, she sliced off both of their heads in one strike, and blood was sprinkled on her white suit.

She gave back the katana with blood to his guard. Charlie and his comrades' jaw dropped. They did not expect that kind of scene. However, they were not shaken as they know how she deals with other gangs who try to turn Gangnam upside-down.

The two unknown bodyguards and his comrades have taken the bodies out with their heads. To throw it back to Hayul's hideout.

"Ahh, now my suit is ruined." She said disappointedly, standing opposite Charlie and removing her sunglasses.

"When is your friend coming to Seoul?"

"She's arriving in 3 days, boss. Where do you want me to take her?" Charlie wondered.

"Just take her to my office in Seoul. Does she even know what kind of job you are doing? That you're a gangster?" She asked firmly with crossed-arm while looking at her bodyguards and Charlie's comrades putting the dead bodies in a big black plastic bag.

Charlie just scratched his head, awkwardly, "Ahm, actually she doesn't know boss, but I will tell her once she's here."

"You better be, Charlie. It's your responsibility to make sure your friend is safe while she's here. You know the X-Gang, and DevilsNest is now infiltrating Gangnam while doing their dirty work in Seoul. They are now trying to find who the "Gang Queen" is. You and your comrades are the only ones who know me, so you also better watch out for your comrades because one day one of those will be a traitor." She firmly said.

"No worries, boss, I have a rat that watched over them that they don't know."

"Good, I will see you in Seoul in three days then" she left with the bodyguard.

One of the comrades, Duri stood beside Charlie, "I really admire our boss killing skill," Duri said, admiringly. He had a deep scar on his left cheek, a naïve gangster.

"Well, that's our boss. Once we messed up our job in Gangnam, consider yourself dead as well if you do not want the same thing to happen as those two thugs." Charlie seriously said as Duri felt awkward in a tense manner.

The other two comrades were cleaning the mess by washing off the blood stain on the floor. Charlie checked his phone and saw Loren's message that she arranged everything she needed and to see him in three days.

If anyone knew Loren, it was Charlie. Loren is a great tattoo artist and a bit of a nerd, but one thing Loren fear are guns. Loren was half Japanese and Australian; her father was Japanese and her mother was Australian, both Tattoo artists. Her father was killed on the spot in front of her and her mother while they wait for him to cross the intersection nearby the train station. Loren didn't know that her father was involved in smuggling drugs between countries. Without knowing the full truth about her father, she and her mother returned to Australia. As a result, Charlie has been worrying about whether or not she will be secured in Seoul for the next month. As neither of them has any family to turn to for support, Charlie is prepared to lay down his life to shield her from the shady underworld should she ever find herself in it.
