It was no time to just wait for Kim Hak-gwon's contact. "Older Brother, check the stock and futures markets. We need to get in touch with American companies and also look into the Korean stock market. The U.S. market hasn’t opened yet, so it might not have significant impact, but you never know." Nodding, Han Gyeong-yeong grabbed his laptop and headed into the room while I discussed plans with Manager Ma. "Contact Black Secret and have them focus on monitoring Choi Seon-man's movements and the…-

Grumbling, Jessica pulled a thick stack of papers from her bag and placed it on the table. "I didn't even realize there was a group called the Dae Dong-hui. There's no record rd in the CIA, but the NSA has some information on it." Naturally, it made sense for the NSA to manage the Dae Dong-hui, which emerged whilhile handling post-war issues after the Pacific War. Still, there's no way the CIA wouldn't know about it. "The documents from the NSA are only accessible to high-level officials. I did enough…

Originally, the semifinals should have concluded with the defeat of the South Korean national soccer team—1-0, to be exact. But things changed. Just past the midway point of the second half, Ballack scored the first goal, sounding all too familiar. However, just three minutes after Ahn Jung-hoon was substituted in with about ten minutes left in the match, he scored the equalizer, and then shortly before the final whistle, he netted the winning goal. “...Boss. Did you anticipate this?” Kim…

‘President Choi Seon-man has given the orders.’ I was a bit taken aback when Huh Geun-yong mentioned Choi Seon-man's name. Choi Seon-man and Seo Jae-hoon... What an unlikely duo. It’s amusing to see two such mismatched people joining forces. I turned to Huh Geun-yong, who was downing a glass of whiskey. "Come on, spill everything you know." I rested my chin on my hand, watching him with keen interest. "Well... if I tell you everything..." I could guess what Huh Geun-yong was about to say, so…

A day had passed, but the governor of the Industrial Bank had yet to make an appearance. "So Baek Seong-jin also doesn't know who ordered it?" Eva entered wearily to report. Her face involuntarily hardened. "Governor Heo isn't from Mofia. They say he parachuted in as governor and doesn't have a good relationship with the Mofia." "That's possible. But no matter how you look at it, he's still the governor of a national bank, right? Does he really approve something without consulting the bureaucrats? Even…

All loans requested by Il-seong were blocked. Private banks held my money, while the national bank used the Mofia, which Eva managed. As I shouted, Manager Ma lowered his head and began to explain properly. "Approval just came through unexpectedly. It seems the president of the Industrial Bank issued a direct order." "Why on earth? That wasn't an order from the Blue House, was it? Kim Hak-gwon had clearly stated he wouldn't intervene in this matter..." "I'm sorry, but I can't go that far..." Before…

The voice on the other end of the receiver belonged to Lorenze Medici, the head of the Medici family. Not being well-versed in Italian, I replied in English. "Lorenze." Whether he recognized my voice or not, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried movement. It seemed he was shifting to a secure location to avoid eavesdropping, as only muffled sounds filled the air for a while. I waited silently for Lorenze to speak. After a moment, his voice finally broke through. — Charlie, it's been a while.…

On the surface, Koizumi, the Prime Minister of Japan, seemed to be the highest authority. But a closer look revealed the truth was quite different. Due to Japan's political structure, if one can achieve stable power, they could hold the Prime Minister position for decades. It was obvious how much Koizumi must have felt like a failure after realizing the existence of the Dae Dong-hui, thinking he had ta taken Japan under his control. Eventually, yielding to their demands, Koizumi paid his respects at the…
