"And that's the whole story,"
Hakju finishes.
(Yeah, he told his whole backstory.)
"Uh, but you've had some bad guys in the Axe Gang," Jack comments.
"Yes, because he's a bandit!"
Old Man Ryu adds.
(I'll call him Old Ryu from now on.)
"You sh!t, you didn't even talk to me after it, you fuc-"
Jack shuts Hakju's mouth.
"Listen here, we don't need any conflict. We're on the same side after all."
But Jack's words didn't hit them. Hakju stared at Old Ryu with hate in his eyes.
"Agh! So annoying! You both act like fucking kids. If you hate each other then…"
Jack leaves the gym and says:
"Then just fight, you punks!"
Jack locks the doors.
An hour later…
Jack opens the doors again and is shocked. He didn't expect…
These two got along?
Is he actually a genius?
"I'm a genius… keke,"
Jack whispers.
"No you're not,"
Hakju comments.
"We got along only because…"
Old Ryu stops.
Hakju grabs Jack.
"Because we wanted to beat your ass for that, you son of a bitch!!"
Old Ryu strikes.
Hakju joins with a blow to Jack's back.
They smile, and their punches are thrown not only in rage, but in harmony.
And that's how they learn to forgive each other.
But Jack is probably half-dead.
>>>
Three months have passed.
With Old Ryu's help, Hakju rose back to his prime, and even surpassed it.

Strength: UR+

But Jack wasn't lazy either.

He also observed J-High, it's about God Dog arc start so he decided to help.
Even if he didn't want to affect Lookism's early timeline too much.
He also had one small interaction after talking to Daniel. He was at the J-High festival and fought Gun a bit.
It was so short that it didn't really count as a real fight.
He was doing his part-time jobs and school, and he earned a lot of money.
But he still had a long way to go. In these months he improved only a bit. He needs to get stronger fast!
And Jack has an idea:
He wants to unite some strong and major characters into one crew.
He has three characters in mind:
1. Daniel Park
2. Johan Seong
3. ???
But before that, he needs reputation and influence.
To get these, he asked Hakju to make him his No. 2.
Hakju said:
"Well, you have to beat my current No. 2 first."
Yeah… with his stats, Jack did that pretty easily.
Well then. He'll slowly start his empire.
The end. Sorry it was short, but this was only an explanation of what will happen in the next chapters.
Bye!
