Chapter 53 – Cain Seo-Jun: The Fall of the Campus Prince

A Tense Morning at Seoul University

Every student was gathered inside the university's grand auditorium. Professors sat in the front row. Campus media cameras—and even a few national reporters—stood ready.

At the center of the stage stood Cain Seo-Jun.

His face was pale. His red tie was loosened. His hands were trembling—something no one had ever seen from Cain before.

Cain Bows His Head, Pride in Pieces

> "I… want to apologize," Cain began, his voice barely audible—but the mic caught every word.

> "I, Cain Seo-Jun, take full responsibility for the intimidation and unethical behavior directed at several freshmen students, including… Gevran and his peers."

The entire hall was silent. Everyone held their breath for what came next.

> "I… resign from The Archers."

G-Force Sitting in the Second Row

Jiwan leaned toward Gevran and whispered, "Dude, we just made that guy apologize on national record. I feel like I'm in a political drama."

Mi Yong snapped a discreet selfie. "This is history, baby."

Eunwoo, wearing sunglasses indoors, muttered, "If the camera catches my right side, this might be my viral look."

Haesung's gaze was serious. "There's a high chance Cain's father made him step down. Damage control for the family name."

After the Press Conference

Just minutes after Cain stepped off the stage, the breaking news began to roll in:

> "Arch Daesan Group Suffers 12% Stock Drop in a Day!"

"University Students at 7 Campuses Call for Arch Daesan Product Boycott"

Finally, Seo Myung Ho made a brief appearance on national TV. His face blank, he said:

> "We will reevaluate my son's decisions. The company does not condone or intervene in his actions on campus."

Gevran Receives a DM from Cain

> Cain: "You win. But this isn't over."

Gevran smiled faintly and replied:

> Gevran: "I never needed to win. I just wanted you to stop stepping on people from above."

That day, Seoul University lost its arrogant prince.

And in his place, a small gang once thought of as a joke…

Had become the campus symbol of youth-led justice.

And quietly, G-Force was already preparing for the next chapter:

Final exams… and launching Korea's most ambitious student-run restaurant.

Later That Night – Inside a Private Lounge in Gangnam

Cain sat alone in a dimly lit bar reserved for chaebol heirs and political elites.

A glass of whiskey sat untouched before him.

The news kept flashing on the large screen behind the bar:

> "Cain Seo-Jun Resigns"

"Daesan Group Faces Public Backlash"

He clenched his fists.

Suddenly, a voice spoke from the booth behind him. Calm. Cold. Older.

"The world always sides with whoever screams first. But the real winners? They move in silence."

Cain turned.

A man in a sharp suit with an old family crest on his tie pin raised a glass toward him.

"Your fall was loud, Cain. Now rise quietly."

Cain didn't respond—but his eyes darkened.

He pulled out his phone and opened a folder labeled:

> "Operation: Scorch."

Inside: names, photos, data.

Gevran. Jiwan. Haesung. Eunwoo. Mi Yong.

Even… Im Seri.

Cain whispered to himself, voice cold and steady:

> "Let them enjoy their moment.

I'll build my storm…

And when it hits, no one will see it coming."
