Episode 88
Lee Young-moon’s left eyebrow rose.
“What do you mean?”
“Your son has no ability, but is greedy and even acts out needlessly.”
I spoke as calmly as possible. As if my intention had worked, Lee Young-moon did not react any further.
“It’s not like you don’t know who your son is.”
“······.”
Lee Young-moon, Chairman of Shinsung Group.
He was a talented person who made it possible for a conglomerate to control the highest guild in Korea.
Even though he was naturally weak and had the risk of being the second son, he was chosen by the previous president and lived up to the expectations, helping Shinsung Group to become Korea’s top conglomerate group and guild.
Despite his small stature, he seems to have the energy that only a superhuman can give off, probably because of the achievements he has achieved.
His nickname is “Little Giant of the Business World.”
He has good sense and is quick to judge situations. The downside is that he is indifferent to his family.
This can be seen in the fact that Lee Se-hee is given more importance than the eldest son, Lee Se-chan.
You will pay more attention to your family like me.
There are a lot of fancy modifiers, but they are meaningless to me.
“Is it okay to just take care of Se-chan?”
“I cut off my arms and legs so I couldn’t come out. Oh, I really don’t mean to cut off your limbs.”
These days, many people misunderstand what I say, so I kindly added it.
But if you really want to prevent them from doing other things, I don’t think this is a bad choice.
“What if I can’t manage it?”
“I will kill you.”
“There is no hesitation.”
“Do you need to think about killing someone you want to kill?”
That was the purpose of coming here in the first place, and if I can’t achieve it, I’ll have to do something.
And it might be better for this guy who can’t even handle his children properly to disappear. Rather, wouldn’t it be better for Lee Se-hee to take control of Shinsung Group early?
When I think about it like that, I realize that it is a natural way to live.
An ordinary person would be able to urinate, but he tolerated it well. Does this mean that a giant is a giant even if he is not an awakened person?
“······.”
Lee Young-moon said nothing and looked at me quietly. It looked like nothing was wrong, but for a split second, I saw his eyelids fluttering.
“I accept it.”
“That’s a good decision.”
“It must have been a judgment forced by someone.”
Anyone who sees me will think that I am being coercive rather than persuasive.
Still, it was a quick decision.
When Lee Young-moon was alive, Shinsung Group grew steadily every year. If you think about it, the reason why Lee Se-chan was pushed out and Lee Se-hee showed off her talent was because of Lee Young-moon’s arrangement, so her Yongin skill is also excellent.
This situation wasn’t intentional, right?
I am a person who thinks that even moderate noise can be stimulating, so this conflict may have been intentional.
Well, that’s it.
It was getting on my nerves, so I didn’t want to watch it anymore.
“I have to step forward to save my son. But as you can see, my health is not good.”
“Can I get you an elixir?”
“Can you save me?”
“But it’s very expensive.”
The organs of monsters with well-refined Force are excellent health food.
In particular, since the monster’s genitals were known to be good for stamina, there was a shortage for a while.
Of course I don’t eat it, but the organs are okay.
It may be a bit disgusting when you eat it, but if you close your eyes and enjoy it, there is no other delicacy like this.
It feels like I have become a monster.
There is also something strangely similar to soybean paste stew.
Thinking about it for the first time in a while made my mouth water.
“It’s tempting, but I can’t eat it. “The condition is not so good that it is difficult to accept the medicinal properties.”
“If you need anything, just tell me.”
“Sehee has a good friend. “It must not have been easy to get here.”
It sounds easy.
Anyway, I’m glad the story goes well.
If this was going to happen, I should have come to you sooner.
It was after I became a hematologist that things inside Shinsung Group became really complicated, so I don’t know much about it.
Looking at what this guy is doing, it seems like he is friendly towards Lee Se-hee. Is it because my head is too cold? It might be true, seeing as I don’t feel much emotion when dealing with Lee Se-chan.
I guess that’s none of my business.
I just need to be more careful so I don’t die anyhow.
“I will control Se-chan. “Is that okay?”
“You are a person with a social position, so I hope you keep what you say.”
It was time to achieve my goal and go back without any regrets.
“Even if it looks like this, he is the richest person in Korea. “If you don’t have credit, you can’t do business.”
So what?
If you have that much money, why don’t you give me some and brag about it?
Lee Young-moon cleared his throat lightly, as if my emotions were showing on his face.
“I thought that if I came this far, I would want more. chamberlain.”
“chamberlain?”
“You want Sehee.”
Lee Se-hee? I feel like taking him with me. Because Soo-wan was a real person.
But while I was training him, I got a little scared.
The more he is cornered, the more he smiles, which is not normal.
“She’s a talent I’m coveting, but it’s only when she’s at Shinsung Group that Se-hee Lee can show off her talent.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what is it?”
Lee Young-moon, who was looking at me blankly, shook his head.
“We’ll talk about it later.”
To make you lose weight.
I had nothing more to say, so I quietly left.
* * *
“······.”
Lee Young-moon, who was chasing the afterimage of Choi Jun-ho, who disappeared without a trace, sighed lightly.
Lee Young-moon is not an awakened person, but he got to this position with just his eye for people.
It was he who selected Baekgunseo when he was young, and the presidents in charge of affiliates were also the people he personally selected and taught.
Without these eyes, neither he nor Shinsung Group would have reached the current position.
Although I heard Choi Jun-ho’s great name, he was more outspoken and rude than I had heard.
Beyond that, his skills were clear.
The risk far exceeded my expectations. If the numbers are wrong, even Shinsung Group is in danger.
In the past, I would have told him to cut off his hand right away.
but.
“When supported by ability, even rudeness becomes attractive.”
Lee Young-moon smiled as he looked at the sweat that had collected on his hands.
It’s been a long time since I felt this nervous in front of people.
I thought Lee Se-hee had managed to coax that ferocious beast.
And Lee Se-chan was acting against the spirit of the beast.
“I was also a fool to neglect the place closest to me.”
This is a life lived with the sole intention of making the family business a success.
Since they were not properly controlling the house, there was nothing to say no matter what Choi Jun-ho said.
In the first place, there is no one around who would say such bitter things.
Lee Young-moon immediately called the butler.
The butler, who looked puzzled at the sudden call, was amazed at the sight of the messy room.
“Chairman!”
“An intruder has arrived.”
“sorry! Please kill me!”
The contemplative butler fell on his face and trembled. An intruder into the home of the chairman of Korea’s largest conglomerate.
What if the intruder had a different mindset? It wouldn’t be surprising if his head flew off right now.
“I have no intention of blaming you. “Reexamine the route through which the intruder entered and establish a new security system.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Lee Young-moon clicked his tongue lightly as he watched the butler leave with his head bowed.
My only complaint is the progress of my relationship with Lee Se-hee.
“You’re not a eunuch, are you?”
Oh, I guess not.
Youngmoon Lee went to work at Shinsung Group’s headquarters the next day.
* * *
Shinsung Group was put on alert by the appearance of Lee Young-moon, who had been hiding in hiding and not leaving the house.
Lee Young-moon’s presence was so strong that it could be said that he was part of the Shinsung Group.
The attention of not only the headquarters but also all affiliates was focused on Lee Young-moon.
Soon after seeing Baek Gunseo being called in, the group executives realized that the conflict between Baek Gunseo and Lee Se-hee was the direct cause.
“dissappointed.”
“······.”
“If there was a problem, you should tell me.”
“······.”
Baekgunseo quietly lowered his head. Lee Young-moon stared at him without saying a word and coughed lightly. When Baek Gun-seo raised his head in surprise, Lee Yeong-moon opened his mouth.
“It’s a county office.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Now I call him your older brother.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Are you sure you really think of me as your older brother?”
“sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. “It happened because I was careless.”
“no.”
Lee Young-moon took a deep breath as he saw Baek Gun-seo bowing his head once again. Baek Kun-seo’s surprised expression made him short of breath, so he raised his hand to stop him.
The reason Baekgunseo clashed with Lee Sehee was over his son. Baek Jin-yong, the son of Baek Gun-seo, who was attached to Lee Se-chan, was an immature brat and committed several crimes. By letting them know that Lee Se-chan covered it up, he asked them to cause a conflict with Lee Se-hee.
Lee Se-chan’s goal is to become the successor.
However, in Lee Young-moon’s view, Lee Se-chan is not a successor.
“If it’s your son, he’s my nephew. I will send Jinyong to study abroad in the United States, where there are no Koreans. If you just study in an unfamiliar place, you will come to your senses. “I will not accept any objections.”
“···Thank you, brother.”
“You can still think of me as your older brother. Cool your head too. “I need to stay in shape.”
“yes.”
As Baekgunseo went outside, Lee Young-moon clicked his tongue lightly.
It was an empire that he had built. He only thought about placing his platform on a rock and was careless about what happened after that.
Maybe it’s because of my memories of competing with my older brother when I was young. At the time, it was more difficult than growing Shinsung Group, which was an athletics dealer.
Lee Young-moon recalled Choi Jun-ho’s face as he boldly broke into the mansion and unleashed his murderous energy on him.
No matter how strong a castle you build, one person’s change of mind can cause it all to collapse.
Knowing that it was such a time, I didn’t want to leave it as a factor of anxiety.
This is not an empire built to be toppled by just one person.
“Call Lee Se-hee, the general operations team leader.”
* * *
Lee Se-hee felt her heart beating violently at her father’s call.
My father has always been difficult since childhood. To her, Lee Young-moon was her father, a respected businessman, and a goal she wanted to overcome.
He achieved remarkable results while serving as the head of the Shinsung Guild’s general operation team, but compared to his father, he was far behind.
Still, hidden in a corner of my heart was a desire to receive my father’s approval.
My father, who had been resting and taking care of himself at home, went to work at the headquarters.
Instinctively, I knew it was because of this collision.
“Sehee.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Sing comfortably.”
“Your father.”
“I had a conversation with the county office. “I will come to you soon and apologize.”
Lee Se-hee shook her head.
“I already solved it with my uncle.”
“But it hasn’t been officially released. In this case, it is largely the fault of the county that raised something that could have been handled quietly. So, the military order needs to be bent once for it to end neatly.”
In the process, Baekgunseo’s pride will be damaged.
But since Lee Young-moon is here, there is no need to worry.
Youngmoon Lee neatly solved what he thought was difficult.
“······.”
“And your performance brought glory to the group.”
“Really?”
A faint smile appeared on Lee Young-moon’s lips.
Lee Se-hee knows. Countless employees risked their lives to see that small smile. It was a sign of trust from Lee Young-moon.
“From now on, I will trust you and entrust you with more tasks. “Can you help me?”
“yes! of course!”
“Then there is something you must do first.”
“Just order it!”
Lee Se-hee spoke confidently, but looked surprised by what followed.
“Bring Choi Jun-ho.”
“yes?”
Lee Se-hee’s eyes opened wide at the unexpected words.
* * *
Lee Young-moon, who returned after a long period of seclusion, showed a wide range of actions.
On his return on the first day, he not only neatly resolved the conflict between Baekgunseo and Lee Se-hee, but also eliminated 12 executives who had attached themselves to Lee Se-chan.
Some saw this as Lee Se-hee’s selection as successor.
Not only that, he visited the Blue House and announced a large-scale investment, instantly dispelling the ominous atmosphere surrounding Shinsung Group.
Looking at the article and the atmosphere at the Blue House, I could tell that he was a man who farted quite a bit.
Meanwhile, articles are pouring in saying that cooperation with me will be strengthened.
Anyone who sees it will think that Lee Young-moon and I are very close friends, right?
And I am currently attending the Sacred Guild VIP party.
“Thank you for coming.”
Lee Se-hee greeted me with a slightly heated face.
I muttered as I looked at the people filling the party hall.
“I was invited, but I didn’t know it was a place like this.”
“There are so many people who want to meet the president. This much has been narrowed down. “How about me?”
Lee Se-hee asks as she gently spins around.
She was wearing a long black evening dress that emphasized her body line. Necklaces, earrings and bracelets added extravagance, and a jewel-decorated belt emphasized the slimness.
The beautiful legs and white arms revealed through the side slits of the dress were noticeable.
Do you have a constitution that doesn’t allow you to build muscle? Should I roll more?
Still, it was beautiful from an aesthetic standpoint.
“Does it suit you well?”
“thank god.”
What makes me so relieved about my evaluation?
Aside from that, it was clear that a lot of effort had been put into decorating it.
But I don’t know if I can breathe.
“Is your stomach okay?”
“You can breathe.”
“Isn’t your stomach coming out?”
“···That comment you just made was worth a million minus points.”
Suddenly, my favorability rating dropped to minus 1 million points.
I think I had a similar expression when I mentioned my age to Anna Christine.
Anyway, I came to the party, but this kind of place doesn’t suit me.
Because the attention pouring in from people around me ultimately seemed to want something from me. Actually, I don’t want anything from those people.
Lee Se-hee must have noticed that I had no intention of hanging out with other people, so she stayed by my side.
At that time, Baekgunseo approached me.
“Choi Junho.”
“yes.”
“I caused a spark in you due to an internal matter. “I apologize.”
They say superhuman pride is as high as the sky? Was it supposed to be resolved this easily?
The idea was to end on a good note, so I received it positively.
“I’m fine. “I will make sure there is no interference with the hunt.”
“If you’re interfering, we should actually learn.”
“Then I will also learn the Holy Guild method.”
“I hope you take care of me that day.”
The conversation ended amicably with Baekgunseo’s apology.
If it were me in the past, one of the two would have died, but it was a satisfying result.
I looked at Lee Se-hee and asked.
“How about preparing for the hunt?”
“It’s going smoothly. “All that’s left is for Soye to show up?”
“It’s going well.”
All I have to do is watch quietly from behind.
Is there such a thing as the ‘divinity’ of preparation?
At that time, the whispering grew louder, and when I turned my head in the direction of the commotion, I saw Lee Young-moon approaching me.
His health still looks bad. Should I get him a real elixir?
“Let me say thank you for coming.”
“I wouldn’t have come if I wasn’t invited by team leader Lee.”
“Well, I don’t like this kind of place. It would be nice to get used to it, but there is no need for a superhuman to get it right. “Next time, we will arrange a different place.”
Is there any reason to go that far?
Lee Young-moon, as if unaware of my thoughts, winked at Lee Se-hee.
“Please take good care of Sehee. Sehee, you too, take good care of Choi Junho.”
“···yes.”
For some reason, Lee Se-hee was blushing.
Lee Young-moon, who was not feeling well, left the venue after leaving a brief message to enjoy the party.
Even though that one thing disappeared, it felt like the atmosphere in the room had become lighter. Even though he is not an awakened person and is small in stature, he still has great charisma as the group’s president.
I also sat down and ate some food. It’s delicious, but for my taste, Guillermo’s Mexican-style soybean paste stew with rice is the best.
If you make it with Mediterranean mussel-based broth, which is James Reed’s recipe that fooled me, it tastes fantastic. I’ll have to try adding the Owl Bear head later.
I ate my food and exchanged greetings with several VIPs who approached me. I was able to respond without difficulty thanks to Sehee Lee helping me.
“Are you bored?”
“Can I go quickly?”
“I’ll cover the rest.”
“okay.”
It was time to accept Lee Se-hee’s favor and leave the place.
“Choi Junho!”
The one who entered the party was Lee Se-chan.
The guy came towards me with his expression distorted and angry.
“Junho Choi, you bastard, do you think you’ll be okay after doing that?”
It’s all an insult.
He’s taking out his anger on me for getting scolded by Lee Young-moon.
A loud sound attracted the attention of those around them.
This is why stupid people make stupid choices even though there is nothing good for them.
“He’ll be safer than you.”
“Do you think I can stay still? I know that your younger brother belongs to the Holy Guild. You may be safe, but your younger brother…”
Bye!
“Aaaah!”
When my foot kicked Lee Se-chan’s shin, his leg was bent in a direction it could not return to.
Lee Se-chan screamed and rolled around on the floor. I endured it at Lee Young-moon’s request, but I had no intention of forgiving the guy who crossed the line.
I kicked him and broke both his knees and his arms. Then, I grabbed the head of his head and made eye contact with him.
I see a face filled with fear.
Why do I keep arguing over subjects that are weaker than me?
Even if you have bad feelings, if you don’t have enough strength, you will suppress them.
Or become stronger than me.
“Say it again.”
“Off you…”
“Did you think you would see me as Sehee’s oppa? “I heard you’re not even close with Sehee.”
Let’s finish.
That was when my hands covered his face.
“Junho!”
Lee Se-hee came out with her body and tried to separate Lee Se-chan.
I pushed Lee Se-hee away with my hand. I have to finish it.
At that time, the voice of Lee Young-moon, who was not present, was heard.
“Choi Jun-ho is a superman.”
When I turned my head, I saw Lee Young-moon standing there, out of breath. Beside him, Baek Gun-seo was supported with a worried expression.
Baekgunseo was ready to pounce at any moment. Even though he was an enemy who used his son, one thing I felt was certain was his loyalty. But if you attack here, even the White Army will kill you.
Lee Young-moon took a deep breath and spoke to me.
“I apologize for my son’s rudeness.”
“It’s not for the chairman to apologize.”
Because I know you’re a different person than this idiot.
“I’ll make sure you never see me again, so can you save me?”
“Do you have any regrets about your son?”
“There is none. “But if I let my son die like this, it wouldn’t be good for Choi Jun-ho or me.”
“Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you.”
I let go of the head I was holding and took out the healing agent from my pocket and sprayed it. With a hissing sound, the limbs returned to their original form. However, Se-chan Lee could not scream and only wriggled.
“Thank you for the favor. “Take him out.”
At Lee Young-moon’s words, bodyguards rushed in and helped Lee Se-chan.
Anyway, I had no intention of killing him from the beginning.
No matter how crazy he is, he is Lee Young-moon’s son and Lee Se-hee’s older brother.
But the moment Yoonhee was mentioned, a line was crossed. If that’s the case, then we should make it so that they can’t even die.
Lee Se-hee came up to me. Her face was a mess of tears.
“Thank you, Junho. Thank you so much.”
“It’s not like I’m going to be greeted.”
Because I left no regrets.
Lee Se-chan’s eyes were blurred as he was dragged away.
