The underground shopping center.

The crowd was scared and in panic before, but right now, they are all watching the big screen full of nervousness.

These criminals who are causing goosebumps to appear on their skins, what exactly do they want them to watch?

It's unimaginable.

In the bright sunlight, the LCD screen displays dazzling colors. The curtains in the image have been fully opened. And on the stage, there are actually six people sitting.

Six individuals who don't look anything special.

On the very left, it's a fifty or so year-old man wearing a quality suit and leather shoes. He has kept his looks well. Even though his face is red and his expression is nervous, his facial features carry elegance and nobility. It's easy to tell that he's someone with high social status.

Beside him is a thirty or so year-old man. He's also wearing a suit and tie. He's handsome but his face is pale and he's trembling from fright.

A woman is sitting in the middle. She seems to be in her early thirties, wearing a red long dress, making her look beautiful and captivating. Her high heels are 10 centimeters high and it's obvious that she's one of those exquisite yet money-spending women.

To her right sits a young man who's about thirty-two to thirty-three years old. He's wearing glasses, looks refined and seems to be well-schooled. He has his head down all the time as if he's refusing to look at the screen.

Moving to the right is a forty or so year-old man. Compared to the previous individuals, he has a much worse demeanor. Regardless of how expensive his clothes are, he has a large stomach and a brandy nose. His chubby face is red and purple as if he's scared to death. Last but not least, is an elderly man who looks older than the first individual. But he seems out of place. He's wearing a thick green army coat with an old looking shirt and long pants underneath. His running shoes look worn out as well. He looks like one of those seniors who usually work at the factory.

The audience is watching them but doesn't know what's going on. A's voice comes on.

"Why don't you introduce yourselves first."

It's unknown what kind of threat he used, but all six individuals raise their heads one by one.

"I'm......" the first noble looking man says slowly with much effort, "Ye Junghwan, the CEO of the Peninsula Hotel Group."

The moment he reveals his identity, the audience start discussing among themselves.

And the identities of the other individuals make the audience's jaws drop.

"I am Ye Jun , the General Manager of the Peninsula Hotel Group," the prestigious looking young man sitting beside the old man says.

"I am Lee Yumi , the public relations manager from Peninsula Hotel Group," the beautiful woman says in a shaky voice.

The well-schooled young man raises his head, "I am Kyung-jae, an architect designer," he pauses before continuing. "I am responsible for all the architectural designs for the Peninsula Group."

The middle-aged chubby man follows after him and says trembling, "I'm.......I'm Chang-woo. I'm responsible for some of the construction work for the Peninsula Group. I-I'm the contractor."

The last elderly man says with his face flushing, "I'm Deok-su. I used to live here. I am a retired factory manager of 'Hongying Textile Factory." Someone in the audience lets out an, "Oh." It's because Hongying Textile Factory used to be located at the peninsula. It was only taken down recently.
