Money was never Min-Joon's weakness.
But now it was his weapon.
The moment he stepped into the Hedonist Society's underground casino, the System flashed a credit update like a smug financial advisor with a devil kink.

Min-Joon grinned, sunglasses low on his nose.
"You ever seen a man weaponize wealth?"
He said it to no one.
But the casino heard.
People turned.
Girls whispered.
Men frowned.
A waitress dropped a tray.
He walked through the marble corridor of sin, tossing chips like breadcrumbs of power. He didn't stop to gamble. Didn't need to. The House knew who he was. Knew they weren't winning anything.
His phone buzzed.
Yuna: "You said we'd go shopping."
Han-Ah: "Is it weird if I want to be spoiled today?"
Mirae: "I saw a necklace that made me think of you. Dangerous. Sharp."
Seo-Rin: "Surprise me. I dare you."
He laughed.

"I spoil like I seduce," Min-Joon muttered, adjusting his watch. "Violently."
That's when the next game started.
A screen flashed red in the middle of the casino.
Lady Mae's voice echoed through hidden speakers.
"Tonight's challenge: The Rival's Queen."
Objective: Steal the heart of an enemy's lead girl.
Target: Hye-Ri (Rival Alpha's Favorite – Kim Beom-Ho, Rank 3)
Condition: Under 24-hour surveillance. No direct contact allowed for first 2 hours.
Reward: Rank Up + Control Override Key
Min-Joon cracked his neck.
"Kim Beom-Ho?" he snorted. "That clown?"
[Target Profile: Hye-Ri – Model. Business Major. Calculated. Dangerously bored. Dating Beom-Ho for power leverage.]
Vulnerability: Craves real seduction. Weak to subtle rebellion. Deep curiosity re: Min-Joon.
He smiled.
"Let's make her question every decision she's ever made."
Two hours later.
A private lounge inside Beom-Ho's penthouse hotel suite.
Cameras. Guards. Watching.
Min-Joon didn't walk in.
He appeared — invited under the guise of "new entertainment."
His shirt was white.
Open at the collar.
His energy?
Lethal.
Hye-Ri saw him.
And smiled before she remembered not to.
He played the piano.
Sipped wine.
Never spoke to her.
But he looked.
Looked like a man who already knew her.
Her laugh faded.
Her eyes locked.
Her boyfriend noticed.
Min-Joon whispered to the piano:
"Tell her I'll see her on the roof at 2 AM."
Later, she came.
Of course she did.
He stood shirtless, wind in his hair, champagne in one hand, like some myth Seoul hadn't earned.
"You're not allowed to talk to me," she whispered.
"I'm not," he said. "But you showed up. So what does that say about you?"
Silence.
Tension.
Electricity so sharp the rooftop trembled.
"You know this is dangerous," she said.
"I don't do safe."
"You could ruin me."
"I make ruin look beautiful."
She kissed him.
No hesitation.
No survival instinct.
Only hunger.
Only surrender.

Back in his suite, Min-Joon poured another ₩400,000 glass of vintage and leaned back against Mirae's thighs as she fed him chocolate dipped in gold leaf.
"You spend too much," she whispered.
"I make it back," he replied.
"How?"
He looked at her.
Smiled.
"I collect obsession like rent."
