The Accident

As the weekend arrived, Yeon Ji Shik decided to head out for some shopping, hoping to take his mind off the brewing tensions at school. However, fate had other plans in store for him.

As he made his way down the bustling street, his thoughts consumed by the events of the past week, a sudden commotion up ahead caught his attention. Racing towards the source of the disturbance, Yeon Ji Shik's heart sank as he witnessed a horrific accident unfolding before his eyes—a car had collided with a truck, and the vehicle was now engulfed in flames.

Without a moment's hesitation, Yeon Ji Shik sprang into action. Ignoring the danger, he rushed towards the burning car, his instincts driving him forward. With a burst of strength and determination, he wrenched open the door and pulled the unconscious driver to safety just as the flames threatened to consume her.

With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Yeon Ji Shik barely registered the shocked stares of onlookers as he carried the woman to safety. Once he was sure she was out of harm's way, he disappeared into the crowd, his desire to remain anonymous outweighing any desire for recognition.

Weeks passed, and the memory of the accident began to fade from Yeon Ji Shik's mind. But then, one day, he received an unexpected visitor—a woman, impeccably dressed and exuding an air of authority, stood before him, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Are you the one who saved me?" she asked, her voice soft but filled with conviction.

Yeon Ji Shik hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He had hoped to remain anonymous, to fade into the background and avoid any unwanted attention. But as he looked into the woman's eyes, he found himself unable to lie.

"Yes, it was me," he admitted quietly, his gaze dropping to the floor.

The woman's expression softened, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Thank you," she said sincerely. "You saved my life, and I'll never forget that."

As Yeon Ji Shik watched her leave, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Who was this woman, and why had she sought him out? Little did he know, his act of heroism had caught the attention of someone with far-reaching influence—a woman whose connections ran deep within the city's corridors of power.

It wasn't long before Yeon Ji Shik learned the woman's identity—Ms. Jeaizelyn Watson, the chairwoman of one of the city's largest security companies. With her resources and connections, she was able to track down the man who had saved her life, determined to repay the debt she owed him.

But as Yeon Ji Shik pondered the implications of Ms. Watson's visit, he couldn't shake the feeling that his life was about to take an unexpected turn. Little did he know, his encounter with Ms. Watson was just the beginning of a journey that would lead him down a path he never could have imagined.

After Ms. Jeaizelyn Watson discovered Yeon Ji Shik's identity and the extent of his selflessness and courage, she was determined to repay the debt she owed him. With her vast resources and influence, she offered Yeon Ji Shik her unwavering support, pledging to back him in whatever endeavors he pursued.

But it wasn't just gratitude that motivated Ms. Watson's generosity. As she delved deeper into Yeon Ji Shik's past, she uncovered a web of deceit and corruption that extended far beyond the surface. Learning about Lee Soo Geon's criminal ties and the mayor's complicity shook Yeon Ji Shik to his core, leaving him feeling hopeless in the face of such overwhelming power.

However, Ms. Watson refused to let despair consume them. Instead, she proposed a daring plan—a plan that would level the playing field and give Yeon Ji Shik the support he needed to take on the criminal organization led by Lee Soo Geon.

Her idea was simple yet ingenious: they would start their own organization, one dedicated to fighting crime and corruption in the city. With Ms. Watson's connections and resources, they could create a facade, presenting the organization as a new security company.

Yeon Ji Shik's initial skepticism melted away as he realized the potential of Ms. Watson's plan. With their combined efforts, they could strike back against the criminal underworld from within, dismantling Lee Soo Geon's empire piece by piece.

And so, with the support of Aze, Mariz, Gauz, and Ms. Watson's family, they founded the "Sentinel Alliance," a name that symbolized their commitment to safeguarding the city from those who sought to harm it. Under the guise of a security company, they would operate covertly, gathering information, infiltrating criminal networks, and delivering swift justice to those who deserved it.

As they set their plans in motion, Yeon Ji Shik felt a renewed sense of purpose coursing through his veins. With the Sentinel Alliance at his side, he knew that they could make a difference, no matter how formidable their enemies may seem.

The battle against corruption was far from over, but with their newfound alliance and determination, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. For in the darkness of the city's underbelly, a new light had been ignited—a beacon of hope that would shine bright until justice prevailed.
