Let's settle this properly shall we? We could create a derivative product and play chicken until one of us goes under." "......" "I wonder what gives you the confidence to play word games with me.

No matter how favorable Kim Hak-gwon had been toward me he couldn't compare to having a president I put in power myself. This would completely change the history I knew.
