The Cheonhwa Group. It was a company established after acquiring all businesses in the Geuksung Group, except for the construction sector. With ventures in culture and entertainment, hotels and resorts, as well as trading and distribution, it could be classified as a mid-sized enterprise. What they did above ground was significant, but the real money moved in the shadows. They managed most of the entertainment venues across the country, dominating illegal activities like alcohol sales and gambling,…-

The Japanese never change. A country that has dragged East Asia into the abyss of war and has never once offered a genuine apology, along with its citizens who refuse to acknowledge this fact. With an attitude that subtly belittles Koreans, they, just as they had used pro-Japanese factions to rot the Korean Empire from within during the occupation, left behind social evils like the Cheongpung Group after liberation and tried to manipulate Korea as they wished. For such Japan, I could only be an…

The bear could either kneel here or endure; it didn't matter either way. The bear, sensing the smile on my face, understood its meaning and began to lower itself slowly. "I'm sorry, Boss. I've overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me just this once." In no time, the bear was completely on its knees, bowing its head. I looked down at the kneeling bear with an emotionless gaze, pondering my next move. How should I deal with this guy? The bear's submissive posture was a typical display of how Yakuza…

"If you've ruined someone else's life, you can't really complain if your own gets messed up too, right? Isn’t that what you signed up for?" ······. The man who had been answering well until just now fell silent, hesitating to speak. "Are you scared? You’ve spent your life bullying and taking away from others, yet you’re frightened by this?" They were only strong against the weak and weak against the strong. Cowardly thugs, barely above lowly ruffians. It made me sick to think that these…

When told to call the organization, Jeong Min-woo looked up at me with a face smeared in blood. "Let's see what kind of bastards we're dealing with. Go ahead and call." Since he was beaten up badly, I dragged a chair over and sat in front of him as he struggled to lift his body. "What kind of confidence do you have?" "Just do it. I want to see what kind of bastards are coming here. Those thugs are harassing ordinary people; are they really someone to be taken seriously?" Reading the mockery that…

"Oh no, what are you doing?" There was a loud crash, but the market-goers were too intimidated to intervene, merely watching from a distance with regret, too afraid to get involved. I beckoned one of my subordinates waiting behind me. Once he approached, I instructed him. "Find out what's going on." After sending someone off, I turned to Mr. Sung, who was in front of me, and asked. "What's going on?" "Don't get me started. You know the rice cake shop owner, right? Mrs. Song?" "Of course, I do. She…

Eternal secrets do not exist. As time passes, the truth is bound to surface. However, the Kim Hak-gwon government has only released limited information regarding the events in North Korea to the citizens. The incident involving Manager Ma being shot, along with the South-North economic cooperation efforts, remained undisclosed. "Sigh..." Grandma, who was watching the news, let out a deep sigh. "Why?" "I feel like it must be tough for the President too." The oblivious citizens cheered on the…

"Huh... I see that happened." "Yes, Father." "I'm relieved you made it back safely. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't have been able to hold on." A fleeting sadness crossed Song Chan-woo's face upon hearing Chairman Song Young-ju's words. Noticing his expression, Song Young-ju gently patted his son's shoulder. "So what did you discuss with Boss Kim?" "Nothing much, really." "You idiot, didn't I ask you to plead my case? I told you not to miss this opportunity!" "..." Song Young-ju chose…

Upon arriving in Seoul, the agents from the National Intelligence Service were waiting for us. "I’m so relieved you all returned safely." Chairman Song Chan-woo of Daehyeon, the oldest member of the delegation, spoke on behalf of the group. "It felt like walking on thin ice." "You’ve all had a tough time. Please join us to share your detailed experiences from inside Pyongyang. It won’t take long." Neither the South Korean government nor the U.S. and other countries had a clear understanding of…

After finishing the call with the Director of the General Political Bureau, Kim Jong-il confirmed the safety of the entrepreneurs from South Korea. Hearing that Chairman Kim Byung-woo and the rest of the delegation were all under the protection of the Security Bureau at the hotel, I finally let out a sigh of relief. "Are you satisfied now, Teacher?" "Thank you. Their safety must be guaranteed." Kim Jong-il nodded in agreement. "I will go check on my subordinates." "Hey, Kim, Teacher." "Yes,…
