Ryden Hoven

Every business has competitors. Paradise also has those who want to destroy them. One of the most dangerous is Cheon Gi, the owner of the Pleasure hotel and bathhouse chain. Whenever his name is mentioned, a shiver runs down everyone's spine. Cheon Gi employs hardened criminals; it's almost as if he's the reason every business now has shadowy figures keeping it afloat. Cheon Gi is stern and completely impervious to pain; his face is half-covered by a terrible burn from an assassination attempt. He's very well-mannered, so he's always courteous to women.
There are also smaller hotel owners, for example, Ron Grendoles, a sly fox and an avid poker player, quite rude, a lover of women and nights with them, the owner of "Goodnight", and Adam Sullivan, a secretive person, prefers to always be in the shadows, so his assistant Brandon always talks in his place, Adam - the owner of "Sullivan".
