Cielo Berkan was not someone who wanted power from the beginning.

In his childhood, he lost everything due to the betrayal of those he trusted. What Cielo witnessed then was not mere betrayal. It was the sight of those with money and power easily breaking promises and shifting all responsibility onto the weak.

Since that day, instead of trusting people, Cielo learned how to observe their weaknesses.

He joined the organization for the sake of revenge.

Starting from the bottom, Cielo focused on information rather than fighting. He never missed a detail: who was shaking hands with whom, who betrayed whom, and what secrets were being hidden.

Years later, when the organization's executives began to suspect one another, Cielo knew more than anyone else.

However, he did not use those secrets recklessly.

He waited until the necessary moment.

Finally, on the day the former boss fell due to internal betrayal, every executive in the organization realized something.

Cielo was the only one who knew every weakness and secret they held.

Some tried to eliminate him, while others swore their loyalty to him.

Cielo spoke only one sentence in front of them.

"I am not sitting in this seat because I want it."

"I am sitting here because I am the only one who can keep this organization from collapsing."

From that day on, Cielo Berkan became the boss of the organization.

And the very first rule he established was simple.

"Betrayal will not be forgiven."

Since then, Cielo Berkan's organization, Arcana, had evaded police investigation for years. Thanks to thorough security and the silence of its members, the police suspected Cielo but could never secure decisive evidence.

However, one day, starting with a single leak from within the organization, the police investigation began to close in rapidly. As the organization's cash flow and transaction records were discovered, evidence capable of directly arresting Cielo began to mount.

Cielo knew better than anyone that the police were tailing him. He could have fled abroad, or warned his members to destroy the evidence.

But he did nothing.

It was because the police investigation had already penetrated the core of the organization. If he fled, the police would pressure the members one by one, and eventually, someone would likely talk.

So, Cielo decided to concentrate all charges on himself. In exchange for giving himself up, he secured time for his members to escape and provided them with new identities.

On the day of the arrest, when the police raided the headquarters, Cielo did not run; he was waiting for them. Even as the handcuffs were locked, there wasn't a hint of agitation on his face.

And finally, he called for me, the one he trusts most.

After a brief kiss, he spoke in a low voice.
