'But does the group really need to form?'
Samuel was sitting at his table with his head facing the window. His fingers drummed the desk while his left leg erratically moved up and down.
The thought of Ben Park's group not forming had initially led him to panic but as he delved into his thoughts, he wondered if it was really a problem that the group hadn't formed.
'No, it is a problem.'
He was double-minded.
The thing is, without Samuel here, it was the group that stood at the forefront of the war against the Union and Donald Na. Gray Yeon, Ben Park, Gerard Jin, Alex Go, and whoever came after were all central figures as they were the only ones that were brave enough to fight against the influence of Donald Na and the Union.
However, with the plot changed due to Samuel's interference, Gray hadn't officially made a name for himself outside of Eunjang, and Ben Park hadn't increased his own reputation as he hadn't fought with Jimmy Bae as he was supposed to have.
The events that replaced the original ones featured Samuel Han instead.
Wolf Keum was still defeated, as was Jimmy Bae's group.
'What worries me is the fact Gray and Ben haven't had the chance to 'grow' as they did in the original story. Through numerous clashes and fights, Ben Park's group grew stronger but I've somewhat disrupted that.'
Yes, that simply wouldn't do.
He couldn't let others be affected negatively due to his actions.
"Aigoo, what shall I do?"
Samuel Han was left with a troubling dilemma.
****
The news of Wolf Keum's defeat shook the members of the Union.
Particularly the ones who've witnessed Wolf's crazy rampages. They were the most shocked.
'That mad dog was defeated?! And by an unknown Eunjang student?!'
If Wolf was defeated by the likes of Ben Park, the impact wouldn't have been as great but the fact he was defeated by an unknown name was baffling. And additionally, it turned out to be the same person who took down Jack Kang and Jimmy Bae's crew just recently.
Samuel Han.
Now, there wasn't a single person in the world of delinquents who didn't know that name.
A random guy who came out of nowhere and made a big splash - it was inevitable that his name would get spread so rapidly.
As for the leader of the Union, well, he was less than pleased to learn of Wolf's defeat. Hence the emergency meeting that was called once Wolf was discharged from the hospital.
[Yeo-il High School]
Around the rectangular table, four males wore solemn expressions on their faces. They didn't dare turn their heads towards the head of the table that was leisurely observing them whilst tapping his fingers gently on the tabletop.
Behind the head of the table stood Kingsley Kwan holding a clipboard warily eyeing his boss.
"It seems…the Union has gotten weaker."
The words that came out of Donald Na's mouth sent shivers down the spines of the four boys seated at the table. The aura that Donald Na exuded was enough to tame even the wildest of the bunch; Wolf Keum.
The purple-haired boy kept his poker expression and didn't make eye contact with the tattooed blond.
"I was going to overlook Yoosun's earlier fuck-up during the month but unfortunately, things have gone a little out of hand thanks to certain people," Donald Na's eyes swept over Jimmy Bae and Wolf Keum, pausing on the latter for a minute.
"The reason the two of you became executives is that I thought you could handle the weight of the position. However, it appears I was wrong."
Jimmy Bae felt cold sweat forming on his back. Wolf Keum's eyes widened briefly at the implication of the words.
"Wolf, Jimmy, tell me, how are you going to make up for your actions?" Donald's red eyes narrowed at them.
The boys had nothing to say. They both knew they had fucked up real bad.
"Well, that's a shame. In that case -" Donald Na turned to Jake Ji and Forrest Lee, "From now onwards, Ganhak shall answer to Daehyon and Yoosun will answer to Heongshin."
At his words, Jimmy Bae and Wolf Keum glanced up in shock. Across the table, Forrest Lee and Jake Ji wore expressions of surprise.
"Wait…this- Heup!" Jimmy immediately shut his mouth seeing Donald's vicious glare.
Donald stood up from his seat and walked around the table slowly, forcing his intimidating aura on the four males. Jake Ji was the least affected but the other three hunched over to stare at the table. Wolf Keum was silently gritting his teeth.

"Am I clear?"
Donald stopped in between Wolf and Jimmy.
"Y-Yes…sir."

Samuel Han entered the basement of the school and opened one of the abandoned rooms. He entered the room and immediately scrunched his nose at the smell of mold and dust that dominated the air.
"When was the last time this place was cleaned?" he couldn't help but mutter. The sheer amount of cobwebs and dust was enough for him to deduce that this place hadn't been touched in years.
Dumping his bag on an empty chair, he cracked his neck before he got to work in removing the junk from the room.
He had gone through a lot of trouble to find this place so he wanted to put in the effort and clean it thoroughly in order to commence with the next part of his plan.
Now, his current actions may be a little confusing so for context, here's a flashback;
—
It had been a few weeks since Samuel's clash with Wolf Keum. The week following the clash had been relatively quiet amongst the characters. After the news sort of died down, Samuel hadn't been bothered by any Union cronies and was living out his peaceful days.
However, things suddenly took a turn when Eunjang students started getting beaten up out of nowhere on their way home. And they weren't just getting beaten up by anyone but by those from the Union who'd corner them into an empty street or alleyway and proceed to beat them to the ground.
The news reached the ears of Samuel Han via Ben Park and Alex Go whom he'd started hanging out with after Ben Park had offered his help.
This made Samuel Han think of a particular scene in the webtoon where a similar situation had arisen due to a bag of money and documents going missing. That situation was the result of Jared Sun's plot to get revenge on Rowan Im, Eugene's redheaded friend (the elbow guy).
It was also the situation that led to Gray Yeon and Wolf Keum's fight in the original in which Gray had won.
'It's the same situation with different factors that led up to it' Samuel realized. In some way, the plot seemed to be trying to fix itself after Samuel's intervention.
But Samuel was far from pleased.
This damn Union was like an annoying fly that kept buzzing around Samuel's face.
He needed to squash it in order to be left in peace. He had already guessed the Union's motivation for moving openly like this.
'They want to make me the villain of the school.'
Rumors that the Union was attacking Eunjang students thanks to Samuel had begun spreading and the eyes that once looked at him with admiration slowly changed to anger.
Now Samuel could hardly give a fuck as to what others expected of him but it just pissed him off at how the Union was doing things. Obviously, their target was him.
He needed to fix this somehow.
—
And thus, he decided to form an Anti-Union group featuring the webtoon's main characters plus him.
There was no specific reason for him to create this group.
It was simply because he couldn't think of anything else to do other than barging through Yeo-il to punch Donald Na's face.
But that would raise more issues and it's hard to say whether a simple beating would destroy the Union for good.
He needed a more…thorough plan.
.
.
"And so, I need your help," Samuel stood with his hands on his hips.
Gray, Ben, Alex, Gerard, Teddy, and Eugene stared at him with blank faces.
What?
