Chapter 349
Episode 349
Thanks to Lee Young-moon’s arrangements and my support, Lee Se-hee’s inauguration process as chairman went smoothly.
It was the moment when a woman in her mid-20s became the No. 1 group in the business world and the master of the largest guild in Korea.
This caused an uproar because it was not a common occurrence.
The broadcast extensively reported on Lee Se-hee’s life, and foreign countries also reported information about the divine owner of South Korea, who is an awakened powerhouse and exerts tremendous influence around the world through the Big Bang series.
It’s a hotter response than I expected.
I guess it’s because we’re so close.
Yunhee looked very upset at my calm reaction.
“of course! He is the chairman of Shinsung Group! “The impact on our country and the world will be no less than that of my brother, right?”
“Why am I going in there all of a sudden?”
“That’s right, because you too can exert tremendous influence if you put your mind to it. “Both my brother and Sehee are now big figures who can influence the world.”
When you say it that way, I understand.
I specialize in hunting monsters and killing villains, but Shinsung Group can exert influence in a variety of fields.
“Anyway, thanks to my brother, Shinsung Group has become more comfortable. “It will be reorganized quickly.”
“Do you still doubt it?”
“I never had any doubts?”
I really didn’t like the words that came out right away.
They keep pushing me and then I get away with it?
[That’s right, I never doubted your brother. I’m just confident.]
…Let’s not talk.
I came to my parents’ house to avoid Yunhee, who kept doubting me. The taste of my mother’s soybean paste stew was as delicious as always.
Yes, this is why I returned to the past.
Of course, Yoonhee is included in that, but when I think about how much I crave for it, I sometimes regret it.
This is what a younger sister was originally like.
From now on, if there is a guy who fantasizes about my younger sister, I won’t let him.
Meanwhile, the TV in the living room was showing content about Lee Se-hee.
“There is chaos everywhere.”
“Isn’t that obvious? “He is none other than the new chairman of Shinsung Group.”
“Your mother is right. This is unusual. “That’s how great it is.”
“It’s such an amazing place, so what you two have is also amazing.”
“Of course.”
“Junho, you’re right, but can I really have this? “I thought I would leave it to you for a while.”
The subject of this conversation between my parents and I was none other than the stocks of Shinsung Group.
I have been collecting shares of Shinsung Group for a long time, and in order to keep them from being revealed to the outside world, I purchased them in the name of my family and company.
In the process, taxes such as gift tax arose, but this could be prevented by spending more money. I bought stocks strictly within legal limits and gave them to my parents.
As a result, my parents and Yoonhee became major shareholders of Shinsung Group, and I also came to own a significant amount as a private company.
“They say it will be of great help if you just have it. So don’t feel pressured and just enjoy it.”
This was a great support for Lee Se-hee and helped her take office as president.
Of course, you can expect commensurate compensation.
But my mother seemed to be interested in other areas than that.
“So your family and Shinsung Group have become closer?”
“It’s safe to look at it that way.”
Suddenly, my parents were talking strangely and looking at me with meaningful eyes.
“What do you mean.”
“The reason I’m helping you this time is because it seems like you have a special heart.”
“It’s not like that.”
I just liked the Shinsung Group because it was a useful tool, and I didn’t have any other thoughts.
But the story went in the wrong direction.
“Wasn’t it because you loved me?”
“What does that mean all of a sudden?”
“I knew that was why our Junho came forward.”
“It’s not like that.”
“You didn’t eliminate the person who was an obstacle to the woman you love?”
“It’s not like that.”
“The story is very different from what I used to hear. Actually, my son was like this. “What did I expect?”
My mother looked somewhat disappointed.
“What are you talking about?”
“That’s right…”
“Junho can respond if he knows the detailed reason.”
My father explained the rumors surrounding me.
To summarize briefly, this is it.
Because of my feelings for Lee Se-hee, I personally stepped forward and killed Lee Se-chan.
They sat down to write romance novels among themselves.
Moreover, I am setting the fact that I killed Lee Se-chan as the default.
What was even more upsetting was the faces of my parents, who showed no shock.
“Our Junho is a person who does big things, so I think something like that could happen.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Okay, I understand.”
It seemed like the truth was no longer important to my mother. Even if it wasn’t true, they didn’t seem to listen, so it was very frustrating.
“I think it was a timely action. “Even if he became a vegetative state, if the once powerful successor were still alive, things wouldn’t have been as smooth as they are now.”
“Because it’s not really true.”
“Trying to hide it from even my family was a great move.”
“…I really enjoyed the meal. “I’ll go.”
He didn’t look like he would be trusted at all, so I said a quick goodbye and walked out.
But the absurd feeling did not go away at all.
You don’t have any faith in me at all.
After all, they are family.
“I don’t know how the world is going to work.”
[People’s perception is formed that way.]
Anyway, Lee Se-chan’s official cause of death was ‘heart attack’.
There is no trace that any force was involved in the process.
Anyway, it is a natural death.
But don’t you believe that I killed Lee Se-chan?
In this way, even if I stumble and die while walking down the street, I will be pointed out as the culprit.
[Oh, no way.]
Looking at the current situation, it will remain that way.
Well, there’s something about taking pictures of people like this that makes you feel more comfortable.
[But if you think about it, it’s true that you were the one who killed that person, right?]
“….”
[Why on earth are you feeling unfair?]
* * *
“Thanks to Superin Choi Jun-ho’s care, Shinsung Group quickly stabilized. I was able to get it back. “Thank you again for your effort even though it must have been an inconvenience.”
As expected, the only person who properly recognizes my merits is Cheon Myeong-guk.
“Even though stability was found, stocks fell a lot. “Are you okay?”
“Of course it’s okay. There may be some confusion for a moment, but things will soon get back on track. On the contrary, the owner’s health is not good, so we haven’t been able to advance.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“There may be doubts about Chairman Lee Se-hee, but I don’t think they will last long. “This is because we have clearly proven capabilities and are well aligned with the government.”
“It looks like it’s already been discussed.”
“…When it comes to Shinsung Group, close cooperation with the government is essential.”
Cheon Myeong-guk looked somewhat confused.
I know very well why such a reaction occurs.
The higher a person was in a position, the more power they had, and the more sensitive they were to information about things they did not know.
I guess it’s because he thinks he could lose power.
“I didn’t say this to place blame. “It was because I was curious about how it worked.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“I understand. “It’s a relationship of mutual trust and cooperation.”
“We will not neglect our efforts to meet your expectations.”
“It’s reliable.”
Perhaps because we have been working together for a long time, I feel like Cheon Myeong-guk is telling me what I want to hear.
There doesn’t seem to be any unnecessary suspicion.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
As expected, the power of simulation was incredible.
He must have sensed that I had something to say, so he spoke carefully.
“I want to ask you something.”
“Please speak.”
I explained to Cheon Myeong-guk about the situation in which Lee Se-chan’s natural death(?) was being misunderstood as my doing.
What seemed dull at first became full of interest by the end of my story.
“My advice may seem presumptuous.”
“it’s okay.”
“Then let me tell you. “I don’t know what’s wrong with this situation.”
“….”
“Even if you are the culprit.”
[It seems like they’re just admitting it’s you? What should I do? I think you had high hopes for this, but that human president completely blew them away.]
As Yongyong continued to attack, seizing the opportunity, I waited for Cheon Myeong-guk’s next words.
“I don’t mean it in a bad way. Executive Director Lee Se-chan’s death may have been natural or it may have been due to the hand of a superhuman, but the truth is not important. Doubting in a situation where there is no evidence means you are only seeing what you want to believe. And this is very advantageous to the Adept.”
“Is it advantageous for me?”
“It’s about someone dying. He is not just a person, but a person who was once the successor to Shinsung Group. “Even though such a person is dead, he cannot say anything in front of the Adept.”
“Now that I think about it, I see that.”
Other than Yunhee and my parents, no one said that to me.
I also found out about this rumor after hearing it from my parents.
“The Adept has already become that kind of being. A person who stimulates imagination just by looking at him. Even if it is a crime that is difficult to forgive, we are infinitely lenient towards the Adept. “The Adept has indulgences that no one else has.”
“When you say that, it sounds like it means something different.”
“The truth is not important to me. I would like to believe that the Adept had some kind of intention when he did such a thing. So don’t be swayed by that story. “The Adept is well-centered now and is bringing relief to everyone with the ‘foreseeable danger’.”
[It’s a predictable risk! What does this mean?]
Apart from Yongyong bursting into laughter, I was easily convinced.
In the past, I thought I was quick to judge others, but now I know that it makes me feel more at ease.
Instead, the moment I settle for it, I too will become tamed.
I must not let down my guard.
* * *
It was a phenomenon I didn’t like very much, but Cheon Myeong-guk’s words brought me quite a bit of enlightenment.
It was a story about how people like me are the way they are, so even if I struggle, it may sound like meaningless words.
Even though he returned from a rare villain called Hematoma to a righteous superman, it was a pity that he couldn’t break out of this frame.
[Looking at your actions, no one would think that way.]
Meanwhile, Yongyong is tackling you.
I went to see Jolaman to hear the details that I had not been able to report since I was busy handling the affairs of Shinsung Group.
Even though it had been a long time since we last met, he was still in tension.
“This country is so dynamic! “I don’t think there’s a single quiet day.”
“You were concentrating on your research.”
“How can someone only focus on research? Take interest in this and that too. By the way, Shinsung Group is quite famous in the United States as well. “Maybe America is paying attention too?”
If Jolaman said this, it meant that its importance was greater than I thought.
Because it is unusual to mention Zola twice.
I guess Yunhee said the right thing for the first time in a while.
“But the new president has the ability to do it, so things will go well. “There is already a response from stocks.”
“Do you own stocks too?”
“I did not know? “I am 30% of the foreigners who purchased Sungjin Group stocks!”
“….”
“Maybe the rest of the money went in one step ahead because I strongly recommended it?”
I don’t know the specifics, but I do know that it is a huge amount.
“I thought you would be stuck in a lab and focusing on body modification, but you also have a talent for investing.”
“paddle! What era is the world in when you say something like that? “I’m so frustrated right now.”
“Or else.”
“Times are different! If you just do research in your room, you’ll be ripped off by evil capitalists! You need money to research freely! That’s too much! So, you need to know how to manage your finances thoroughly! “Money is what protects us!”
There was a capitalist evangelist who opened his eyes to stocks.
“With more money, we can conduct more diverse research, hire more researchers, and hire more graduate students! “Money allows me to do more things!”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea. But you know you can blow it up at any time, right? When that time comes, tell me. “I’m not the evil capitalist you talk about.”
“Instead, your head could fly off.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“No, it’s thrilling. “This is better.”
He’s such a pervert. This is why there can’t be any sane people left around.
“Tell me about your research results.”
“Yes, first of all…”
Zolaman began to tell me about his achievements so far.
The report was short and sweet.
“In the end, you mean there is nothing?”
“Jun Ho! Research doesn’t always yield results! “We are doing our best too!”
“That’s right. Then, cheer up.”
“Anyway, people think we produce results like machines… huh? what?”
“Do better in the future.”
“Uh huh? yea, I got it.”
“Then don’t talk about research, just talk about the league.”
“Ah League! “The story was already passed down at the party.”
“What?”
“The current league forces are reorganizing their battle lines and focusing on South America. And South America is the Morian sphere of influence.”
Morian is said to be a member of the Teen Superhumans and the person in charge of the South American continent sent at the party.
Why do they decide who is in charge?
“Is it true that there is also a person in charge of Asia or a person in charge of Korea?”
“That’s… haha!”
The little man laughed awkwardly.
[It’s decided.]
You can tell just by looking at his attitude.
“Ah anyway! Morian is definitely not a soft person. He’s such a scary person. “He was the biggest contributor to stopping the league in South America.”
South America, a hotbed of crime, is a home for the league to grow its power.
However, the League power was not as established as expected, and the reason for this was the presence of Morian.
The godfather of South America created a better alternative to the league, and as a result, Villains were not attracted to the league.
“So, the plan failed, and we will use this opportunity to make a clear counterattack…”
That was when Zolaman was about to say that.
A man with an urgent look from outside came inside.
“James! It’s urgent.”
“Can’t you see what we’re talking about?”
“This is a matter of urgency!”
Heedless of anything, the man walked up to the man and began to report in a whisper.
“….”
Upon hearing the contents, Zola Man’s expression changed moment by moment.
And I overheard everything from up front.
It’s different from what I confidently said.
“You say you’re strong?”
What was reported just now was the news of King Morian’s death.
