One name popped into my mind after hearing Koizumi's words. If Japan were to make a military provocation, it would only strengthen the military's voice. And then, seizing that opportunity, they'd move the troops to stage a coup and declare martial law. Such movie-like events couldn't possibly happen... I clenched my trembling hands and asked. "Please answer me. Is the person involved former President Choi Seon-man?" Seeing Koizumi's deep smile, an overwhelming sense of unease surged within me. A…-

Sepp Blatter. He had served as FIFA's Secretary-General, achieving remarkable growth over a decade. Competent but cunning, he was no different from the greasy politician obsessed with money. This was the public's opinion of him. Of course, FIFA couldn't be described merely as a group of people who love football, but Blatter took things to another level. Ultimately, he rose to the position of president, but he nearly lost his re-election recently in Seoul due to the bankruptcy of ISL, his cash cow. But…

Hiddink looked at me with a skeptical gaze at the proposal to grant him full authority. "You're saying you'll give me full authority...?" "Yes. You can oversee signings and departures, and bring in any coaching staff you want. The club won’t interfere in any way." Hiddink didn't respond right away. He seemed to be deep in thought, delaying his reply for quite some time before finally shaking his head. "It's not that I haven't heard of clubs granting full authority, but if the results are even…

These days, it's been hard to spot Yoon Chang-ho, the chairman. While other members of the National Assembly are equally busy, Yoon Chang-ho has been even busier since he was designated as a presidential candidate. He was traveling around the provincial party offices to meet people, engaging in gatherings with political and business figures, and even visiting universities to give lectures. Thanks to all this, he had barely found the time to attend today's meeting. "Today's shot... isn't great." Seeing…

An awkward silence filled the study after my explosive declaration. Both Kim Byung-woo and Lee Sang-geun stared at me, stunned. "I mean it. We're definitely going to the semifinals." "Uh... Boss," Kim Byung-woo stammered. After hesitating, he started to speak. I couldn't help but smile, knowing what he was thinking. He probably thought I was just being delusional. "Isn't it too hard for our national team to reach the semifinals?" Considering our past teams, reaching the semifinals had seemed…

Even though Jungwoo's semiconductor division had seen significant growth, it still couldn't surpass Ilseong Electronics in scale. They had caught up in technology, but in terms of foundational facilities and factories, Ilseong Electronics remained dominant. Due to the ongoing chicken game, Ilseong Electronics had turned into a financial sinkhole, yet with the strength of the Ilseong Group, they could last a few more years. But by stopping that, I had lost my ability to hold on. No matter what, I could…

The second half kicked off with fierce back-and-forth action, keeping the fans entertained. Chelsea pushed up their defensive line and attacked aggressively, scoring early in the second half. "Haha! It’s a goal! A goal!" Roman clapped his hands with joy, laughing loudly as if to take revenge for what had just happened to me. "Now it’s tied. Let’s see how it unfolds from here." I replied with a casual smile while Roman resumed his seat. "Didn’t I tell you? Watching the match together like this…

At the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. "What's your impression of meeting Kim Mu-hyeok in person?" CIA Director George Tenet asked, placing down the report written by Chandler. Chandler, standing stiffly, hesitated before answering. "He maintained his composure even before the name of the United States." "That makes sense. After all, he's a major supporter of President Bush and a friend of Putin." Chandler recalled Kim Mu-hyeok's dignified demeano, even in front of a CIA agent, and…

I sprang to my feet upon Ahmed's sudden visit and walked toward the entrance. "What brings you all the way here, General?" "Let's discuss that inside first." "Please, come in." Ahmed signaled to the mercenaries who accompanied him to stand guard. "You all wait here." As Ahmed stepped inside, the mercenaries closed the door behind him. Once inside, Ahmed surveyed the room before speaking. "They say this is the best hotel in Kabul, but it doesn’t look too impressive." "Haha, I'm satisfied with it…

Chandler couldn't answer my question right away. Even if the Bush administration invaded Afghanistan for profit, their official stance was framed as a war on terror. So it must be difficult for him to speak up here. "I'm not retracting anything unless it's an official decision. I've already made promises to Ahmad. Trust is everything for a businessman, and I’m sure even the higher-ups in Washington understand that." Manager Ma prepared a paper cup of instant coffee and set it down in front of…
