The emotion had vanished from Seo Jae-hoon's stiff face. "Do you think I brought you here for a joke?" "Boss Kim, what on earth are you talking about...?" When I heard from Koizumi that Seo Jae-hoon was behind all of this, my anger surged. "I have no idea what promises you made to the Yakuza or what you offered them. What were you thinking?"

The Japanese ambassador, feeling the chill of Koizumi's gaze, swallowed hard. "Ambassador Kimura! I'll say this again: Go out and contact the Prime Minister. I will handle the negotiations myself, and I'll take full responsibility. Do you understand?" "...Understood." At the firm order, the Japanese ambassador rose from his seat. He bowed to Koizumi and then stepped outside. In the study, only Koizumi and I remained. Perhaps feeling parched, Koizumi lifted the teacup before him, took a sip of the cold…

After securing control of Il-seong Materials, Eva launched a major overhaul to fully seize the company. She also participated in the shareholders' meeting, showcasing her opposition to the Il-seong Group by opposing every proposal from Seo Yong-geon to shake them up. At that moment, a call came from the U.S. Not from Japan, but from the U.S. — Charlie. Do you find our words amusing? "What do you mean?" — Didn't I tell you to let it go quietly? But you went ahead and attacked Japan, even involving…

After sipping a drink each, we set our glasses down and continued the conversation. "How's the position of Secretary-General?" "Huh..." Myeong-su frowned and let out a deep sigh, a weighty feeling clinging to his words that he couldn't quite express. "A freshman representative has never held the Secretary-General position, especially not one from a negotiating party. It's only because the Chairman supports me that my opinions hold any weight. These old-timers are incredibly stubborn." "Still, you need…

The Japanese Prime Minister, his face stiffening, glared at Medvedev after receiving the report. Seeing this, Medvedev simply smiled without offering any response. The Chief Cabinet Secretary, who hadn't yet heard the details, looked at the Prime Minister with a bewildered expression. "Are you suggesting we go to war?" The Prime Minister's voice, which had been calm throughout the talks, suddenly grew louder. "War? What on earth are you talking about, Prime Minister?" The Chief Cabinet Secretary…

As Han Gyeong-yeong opened the door to the prepared office in his Pyeongchang-dong mansion, a wave of heat hit him. The room felt sweltering, more like midsummer than early winter, thanks to the warmth radiating from the computer. "Right. Just throw it out there. Do what I say! Damn it, I told you to follow my instructions!" He yelled into the phone, his frustration boiling over as he tossed the receiver away, scowling. "Hyung, what's wrong? What’s not going your way?" At my voice, Han Gyeong-yeong…

“Boss Kim.” Ambassador Kimura, who had been biting his lip for a while, spoke in a stiff voice. “Do you think our Japan is doing this out of fear of you?” I just smiled and crossed my legs, choosing not to respond. Perhaps he read the mockery in my smile, for Ambassador Kimura's face flushed red. “Not even the Korean government treats me this way. But you, a mere businessman, dare to treat an envoy from Japan like this?” “It seems we cannot afford the luxury of hosting an uninvited…

There was a strange sense of déjà vu in Bush's words. While he's known to have a frosty relationship with Wall Street, who could he be referring to? Though it was just a rumor, the source was reliable enough that I didn't doubt its truth. But what if Bush and the shadowy figures running Wall Street were part of the same group? My mind instantly spun into a tangle of thoughts. Breaking the oppressive silence, I spoke up. "You said this was a warning?" "Yes, a warning. And also advice. Don't go…
