While Kim Mu-hyeok was deep in discusson about Afghanistan's future with Ahmad, the head of Valence, Xavier, was busy receiving reports in his office. "Hmm..." He set down the paper he was holding and asked his butler. "You managed to execute the ambush, but you couldn't kill Kim Mu-hyeok?" "A few mercenaries guarding Kim Mu-hyeok were killed, but th Taliban suffered far greater losses. Most were killed, and a few managed to escape. One has even been captured by the U.S. Military." "I suppose I had…-

I was already aware that the Northern Alliance and the Taliban funded their military operations through opium cultivation. But I never imagined that Ahmad Shah Masoud, who had just seized power, would openly display opium. I frowned and continued speaking. "If the state openly engages in growing or distributing drugs, it’s bound to fail. I didn’t expect you to think like that, General." Ironically, Hamid, the brother of the previous ruler of Afghanistan, was nicknamed the Drug King. Despite…

I woke up in a cold sweat, still feeling the reverberation of gunfire ringing in my ears, grasping at my earlobes anxiously. "Ha..." I needed to pull myself together. After letting out a deep sigh, I shook off the remnants of sleep and got up. I headed to the bathroom and started my shower. As the cold water soaked my hair, I tried to recall the dream I'd had, but the details eluded me. Standing there for a while under the chilly water seemed to bring my senses back. After rinsing off my body, I…

To be honest, I was more curious about why Huh Tae-min had partnered with Former President Choi Seon-man than about the issue of the arrest warrant for Representative Jeong Chan-seong. That's why I pushed myself to create this meeting. ""Are you... what are you talking about?" "You must already know I’m asking because I already have the answer. It’s best not to play dumb about it, Representative." "..." As I spoke firmly, Huh Tae-min glared at me, seemingly at a loss for words. "No matter how I…

Representative Huh Tae-min looked up at me without bothering to stand, his gaze steady as I entered. If we’re going to play this game of intimidation, I should respond in kind. Ignoring the invitation to sit, I faced Huh Tae-min directly and took my seat. I caught a slight furrowing of his stubborn brows, but the words that followed were quite different. "You’re younger than I expected." Huh Tae-min regarded me with a slight smile, as if questioning when he’d frowned. "Why would a businessman…

A few days later, Eric visited Korea. I welcomed him in the study at Pyeongchang-dong. "Eric, how have you been?" "Of course! It's been a while, Boss. It's great to see you!" Eric looked just the same as I remembered him from before. His confident voice and proud demeanor spoke volumes about his success lately. After shaking hands, we took our seats. "Thanks for making the trip here." "Haha, it was hard to say this over the phone, so I came in person. I'm sorry for the trouble." "Trouble? Not at…

President Kim Hak-gwon was well aware of Representative Heo Tae-min's movements. Even if he didn't know about the relationship with former President Choi Seon-man. "Is this about Representative Jeong Chan-seong?" "That’s right." "Isn't it possible to pass the arrest agreement just with the members from the Moderate Party? Why do you specifically need to meet with Heo Tae-min?" "Mr. President, you know everything already, so please stop playing coy. Just arrange the meeting with Representative Heo…

— The man in the video isn't me. I've never met Lee Song-hee in my life. I love my family. I love my wife, who faced tough times with me, and I love my two daughters. Please stop the defamation.

When opinions among the onlookers were split, Goryeo Daily released an exclusive article. The allegations against Congressman Jeong Chan-seong…

The Prosecutors' Office and the police were lacking both systems to block the spread of the video online and relevant legislation. It was obvious the video would continue to spread among people on the internet. It involved a rising actor tangled up in a drug and sexual scandal. And if the person involved happened to be a sitting National Assembly member, people's interest would only grow. "This is the business card of Goryeo Daily's Editor-in-Chief, Hong Moon-young." I placed the card down in front of…

In the video, Lee Song-hee's eyes were already vacant. Even though Assemblyman Jung Chan-sung hadn't taken drugs,, the footage clearly showed Lee Song-hee was under their influence. "Ah... turn it off." I couldn't shake the feeling that I had seen something disgusting. When Manager Ma turned off the video, the room fell silent. How could I use this to my advantage? I was lost in thought. "Boss, what should we do? Should we pass this to Goryeo Daily...?" "Just a moment, Manager." My head was in a…
