*****************

Park Jung-Woo had obtained some money from his sister, immediately heading to one of the houses in the Gangnam district. Park Jung-Woo wants to meet one of his friends, Song Ming Guk, who is one of the owners of a casino located in the Gangnam District.

Park Jung-Woo using the bicycle he had went to Song Ming Guk's casino. Park Jung Woo was lucky enough to meet Ming Guk a few days ago.

On that day, Park Jung Woo, who was passing through the Gwangnak-Guk area, met Kim Jaejoong and Soo Shin-hye drove a Lamborghini Aventador together before him.

"Why does he always have all the attention of the girls in class," Park Jung-Woo was a bit annoyed to see Kim Jaejoong and Soo Shin-hye.

He then visited the antiquities market area of Gwangnak-Guk. Park Jung-Woo at the time thought he would have to be able to make money to rival Kim Jaejoong.

Park Jung-Woo decided to enter the antiquities market to see a few opportunities it might have. He then toured the antique market, Park Jung-Woo then saw something interesting in one corner of the market.

He then approached the shop on the main street of the antique market in Gwangnak-Guk District. When Park Jung-Woo came to the store, it turned out that the store was a store for giving rough jade or a place to bet jade .

Park Jung-woo walked into the shop to watch people make bets with jade . Gradually, Park Jung-Woo understood that the shade of jade was that the darker the color of the bio, the more costly it would be.

One of the most popular is imperial jade. Imperial Jade is one of the parts which has a deep green color in relation to the other colors. Park Jung-Woo noticed that there was always something strange in his vision.

He felt as if he had seen the interior of the rough rocks that were swapped into the bet. Park Jung-Woo made sure that what he saw wasn't wrong, he tried to see towards the other rock over there. Like he thought he was capable of looking inside the rock.

Park Jung-Woo was interested to know the truth of his vision. He then decided to buy a rough stone which had not been separated from the others.

In the game of jade, stones containing jade were segregated according to their quality. Each of these qualities comes at its own cost. Meanwhile, the rough rocks are the sorting remains that some people consider waste in betting.

Park Jung-Woo then approached one of the stands that was selling rough stones .

"Excuse me, how much are those stones?" asked Park Jung-Woo of the stand keeper.

"Ah..., sorry sir. Are you new in this field?" Have the person stand guard.

"Right, I want to try my luck at jade betting," Park Jung-Woo said honestly.

"If I can suggest that beginners buy C-class stones to try. The prices of class C stones are low, they always have the possibility to get a jade inside."

"In the meantime, if you purchase in this section, you will only get garbage and lose your money.

I am not a ruthless person, so I say this, even if the price of raw stone is much cheaper than grade C stone. However, most of these contain waste and there is no jade inside." The doorman warned Jung-Woo not to waste his money on raw stones.

"No problem sir. I really thank you for warning me as well as providing an explanation regarding the jade gamble. However, I just wanted to try my luck, so it's fine." Park Jung-Woo insisted on buying the rough stone because he had seen some stones that had green jade on them.

Park Jung-Woo then chose three rough stones, which he then bought using the money he earned from working as a part-time teacher at a school. In this bet, the rough stone was valued at 26,000 won, the C grade stone was priced at 30,000 won, the B grade was valued at 75,000 won, while the A grade was valued at 130,000 won.

Park Jung-Woo spent a total of 78,000 won to buy 3 rough stones at the jade stake . Park Jung Woo immediately made the payment and took his three rough stones. He chose the three because he saw that within the stone were 2 pieces of Imperial Jade, as well as a red jade.

Park Jung Woo then joined the queue to do the cleavage of the stone he had bought earlier. That's when he met Song Min Guk who was right behind him at that time.

"Are you sure you want to open the three stones?" Song Ming Guk asked Park Jung Wo who was standing in line to split the rough stone.

"Of course, I believe I chose a good stone using the vision I have." At that time, Park Jung Woo did not tell Song Ming Guk about his abilities.

Park Jung Wo only said that he felt very optimistic about the stone he took to bet on. Song Ming Guk who had been playing with jade stakes for quite a while felt quite astonished, it was the first time he had met someone who had high confidence when buying a rough stone from a jade gamble.

"I like your confidence comrade. Let's bet with me if you get at least 1 jade inside your three stones, I'll pay for each jade 100 times the price you bought it for." Song Min Guk offered Park Jung Wo a deal at that time.

"What if these three stones don't contain jade? What should I pay you?" Park Jung Woo wasn't worried about the deal, he was just worried about what would happen if he lost.

"If you don't obtain any jade, you must become my friend. I will teach you all the knowledge about stone betting, gambling, and about ruling the underworld of the mafia." Song Ming Guk directly revealed that he didn't want anything special from Park Jung Wo, he just wanted to have fun.

At that time Park Jung Woo thought that the person he had just met, was one of the heirs or young masters of a rich family. This was concluded by Park Jung Woo after seeing the actions taken by Song Ming Guk. After talking about various things, it was time for Park Jung Wo to do a split on the rough stone he bought earlier.

Everyone present there booed the stone that Park Jung Wo chose. They say that he is an amateur who doesn't know the correct way to pick a stone in jade bet. Others said that Park Jung Wo was tricked by officers who sold low-quality rough stones to sell them.

Park Jung Woo just kept silent hearing all the ridicule he received. Actually he is also curious about the vision he has is a truth or just an illusion. A few moments later the rough stone that he had was in the process of cleavage. Everyone was shocked to see something inside the rough Stones.

"Oh my..." The officer in charge of doing the rock splitting was shocked and shouted.

"What's wrong sir?" Park Jung Woo couldn't help but ask what happened.

"This is a very beautiful stone, a very extraordinary Imperial Jade," The officer stood up from his chair and showed everyone present that what was inside Park Jung Wo's rough stone was an Imperial Jade.

Song Ming Guk who saw this was also surprised by the luck that Park Jung Wo had. He obtained a jade that was not only rare but obtained in extraordinary quality. Park Jung Woo saw this was very happy, with this result he was even more curious to prove that what he saw was not an illusion.

Park Jung Woo then asked the officer to cut the rest of the two stones he bought next. The officer tells Jung Wo that he doesn't have to get his hopes up with the stones. Even though he obtained Imperial Jade at his first stone cleavage, it didn't mean the rough stones he bought would all contain jade.

Since that incident, Park Jung Wo is close friends with Song Min Guk. They became very close and made Park Jung Wo have someone influential with him.

******************************

< A casino in Gangnam District>

"Hey buddy you're finally here. Come here I'll tell you something." Song Min Guk called his friend to go up to the VIP room in the casino.

"Jung-Woo I'm going to tell you something you probably don't know about me. Actually I'm the leader of the Curvo Bianco group." Song Min Guk explained to Park Jung Woo the truth about him.

At that time, Park Jung Wo did not know that the Curvo Bianco group was a powerful underground group in Gangnam District. He then asked the question to his friend about the meaning of his words.

Song Ming Guk then explained everything to Park Jung Woo about the Curvo Bianco group and the work they used to do. Park Jung Woo is quite surprised that the friend he just met at one of the antique markets is the head of one of the four mafia groups that rule Seoul City.

At first Park Jung Woo was a little uncomfortable dealing with mafia groups, but in an instant he thought of something. He decided to ask Song Ming Guk at that time.

"Do you know someone named Kim Jaejoong?" Park Jung Wo asked Song Min Guk about it.

"Of course we know him. He is the only son of Kim Taehyun who is the leader of the Royal Dragon group. Do you have a problem with him?" Song Min Guk became quite curious because Park Jung Wo mentioned Kim Jaejoong's name.

Park Jung Woo then explained to his friend that he really hated Kim Jaejoong. however, on the one hand he does not have the strength to defeat a Kim Jaejoong who has a strong background and extraordinary wealth.

"So I see. Actually nothing is impossible in the nightlife of a mafia. In the mafia world there is only a term 'Only the strongest group will rule in Seoul City'. Currently, the group is the Royal Dragon, no group has been able to shake the Royal Dragon from absolute power for the past 20 years.

However, if you really want to take revenge or destroy a Kim Jaejoong, you have the opportunity. You can join us in Curvo Bianco. You can help me as deputy leader to conquer Seoul City and rule over the mafia in this city." Song Ming Guk explained to Park Jung Woo that there was still a chance for him to face Kim Jaejoong's great power.

Park Jung Wo who heard that, became very enthused by the possibility. He then decided to accept Song Min Guk's offer to join him as a deputy leader to rule Seoul City through the Curvo Bianco group. He aims to defeat Kim Jaejoong and make Curvo Bianco the most respected mafia group in Seoul.

"It was an extraordinary decision, starting today we will together raise the name of Curvo Bianco to become number one in the City of Seoul." Song Ming Guk said very excitedly to his friend.

After talking about Park Jung-Woo joining the mob group Curvo Bianco, Song Ming Guk then ordered his subordinates to bring a suitcase full of money. Song Ming Guk later showed the suitcase to Park Jung-Woo was next to him.

"I've said before that, if the rough stone you bought contains jade then I'll buy it 100 times the price when you bought it. However, as the price of the jade you obtained was much higher than the price I offered, I decided to sell it at auction.

Based on the results of the auction of the three jades you gave me, we generated 160 million won. Therefore, I brought some of the money here, and the rest I put into the account." Song Ming Guk handed a briefcase containing money and an ATM card to Park Jung-Woo.

Park Jung-Woo was surprised by the amount of money Song Ming Guk gave him, he did not expect to receive such an enormous amount. He then took the money very happily, and decided to go straight back to his house to tell his sister that he had found an income.
