Chapter 7 - Business Run (3)

The nightlife district never slept — it burned.

Every night, signs glowed, engines hummed, and people moved like a living current between bars and clubs.

And now, there were two names that dominated every conversation:

Club Phoenix and Club Sun San.

Sun San was new but aggressive — founded by a slick businessman named Han Riko, a former promoter who'd built his place with corporate backing and flashy sponsorships.

They didn't just open a club.

They opened a challenge.

Yujhae sat in his office at Phoenix, scrolling through social feeds filled with side-by-side comparisons:

> Phoenix vs. Sun San — The Battle for the District!

Sun San's ads were everywhere — glowing gold letters, celebrity appearances, and drink discounts that drew in half the nightlife crowd.

Taejun frowned, setting a report on Yujhae's desk.

"They've pulled our Friday numbers down twenty percent. Their manager's buying influencers."

Yujhae leaned back, smirking. "So that's how they want to play."

He stood, adjusting his jacket. "Then we play louder."

The next night, Phoenix launched its counterattack.

Giant LED screens lit up the street.

Posters plastered the walls:

They brought in new performers, upgraded the lighting system, and even ran a short video ad on social media featuring Yujhae himself — clean suit, calm eyes, and a single line:

> "The streets remember who burned first."

Within hours, people flooded Phoenix again.

The line outside stretched around the block.

Sun San fired back with a celebrity DJ and a promise of "free champagne nights."

The district turned into a marketing battlefield — two empires clashing with lights and sound.

That night, Yujhae trained in the club's basement — gloves off, sweat dripping.

He activated his new skill, feeling energy build in his legs like compressed lightning.

He turned — and the air itself seemed to twist with the motion.

His foot cut through the air in a spiraling strike, hitting the punching bag with a thunderous boom!

The chain snapped, and the bag flew across the room.
