Seo Yong-geon raised his head from the stack of documents regarding investments in Ilseong Electronics he’d been reviewing in his study. "What? Gong Seung-yeon has gone missing?" "Yes, Chairman." "Since when?" "She disappeared three days ago. Her family filed a missing persons report with the police yesterday after waiting in vain." Seo Yong-geon’s expression contorted in disbelief at the news. "Was there no tracking?" "Before she vanished, she told her bodyguards she was going out to drink with…-

What do you think? I asked while pouring a drink for Lee Sang-geun. "Is the division of work in progress?" "Yes, it's ongoing without mentioning it to the board members for now," Lee Sang-geun replied. He turned to drink from the glass he received, then lifted the bottle to offer me a refill. As the liquid sloshed precariously in the glass, he asked, "Are you worried about the board's backlash?" "Not at all. Most of the board members are already my people. I just thought it wouldn't be beneficial for…

Receiving instructions from Kim Mu-hyeok, Yoo Sung-jin firsttracked down Gong Seung-yeon's movements. Fortunately, the bar he frequently visited was one they managed. A sturdy man opened the door and stepped into the room where Yoo Sung-jin was. "Is Gong Seung-yeon here?" "Yes, Hyung. She is." The man's posture was rigid. A smirk crossed Yoo Sung-jin's face as he poured liquor into his glass and downed it in one go. "Did you tell the ladies to drink up?" "I did, Hyung." "Sit down. Have a…

Chairman Seo Yong-geon leaned back against the sofa, eyes closed, lost in deep thought. The only sound in the quiet Il-seong Group's conference room was the soft sound of Seo Yong-geon's troubled breathing. After a long moment, he opened his eyes and pressed the call button beside him. Lee Seok-min entered the room. "Did you call, Chairman?" "Get in touch with the Blue House and set up a meeting with Kim Hak-gwon. We can't just sit around waiting anymore." "Understood." The proposal for a ceasefire…

"Eva, I think it's time for you to come back to Korea." — Boss, what about Hong Kong? "Leave it to the representative of Peregrine. Eva, you need to come to Korea and carry out my orders." Eva was a talent par excellence when it came to hostile M&A and attacking companies. — Got it. When you say so, I’ll head over. I'll wrap things up here as quickly as I can. "We'll discuss the details once you're back. Return as soon as possible." As she tucked her phone away, she turned to Ha Myung-hoon, who…

Impeachment was a process that allowed the removal of high-ranking officials in a democratic nation. It meant not just being pulled from office but also being held accountable. Is there any event more intriguing than a president who successfully held a summit between North and South Korea facing impeachment? "Mr. President, I’m not just stalling like last time. Once this meeting ends, we’ll move forward immediately." If Kim Hak-gwon held firm to his objections, I’d have no choice but to use…

"Not bad. It seems Boss Park has a lot of connections." Park Dong-su, who was surprisingly warm-hearted for a thug, might have gathered his younger associates like Yang Su-hyeong and Yoo Sung-jin beause of this trait. "Do you still hold onto that thought?" "Are you referring to my thoughts about Hyung-geun?" Nodding, Yoo Sung-jin answered without a hint of hesitation. "Yes. Now I understand why Dong-su chose this person. Hyung-geun possesses something that we, who earn our living through our fists,…

Rather than groaning, Lee Sang-geun responded flatly. "I'm alright. I see this as just the pain I have to endure to get to the sunny side." "Is that so?" Sang-geun's demeanor was completely different from Park Dong-su's. While Dong-su was the type to dive headfirst into plans with intuition, Sang-geun meticulously followed his strategy to reach his goals. Even before, he had a cold nature, but after Dong-su's death, he became even more detached, doing whatever it took. "Chairman Lee is quite the…

In Chairman Song's hand was a faded photo. "Here, this is a picture of Chairman Cheon when he was younger." Chairman Song placed the photo on the table and slid it towards me, his voice tinged with nostalgia. I picked up the photo, examining it closely. It showed two men with their arms around each other in a black-and-white snapshot. "Is that really my grandfather and the chairman?" "Haha, aren’t they young? The one on the left is from the Cheon family, and the one on the right is me." The young…

"Boss, it's Myung-hoon." As he was heading to the ancestral grave, Myung-hoon pulled out his phone. Although it wasn't requested, he instinctively called Kim Mu-hyeok to report. ― Have you finished organizing everything? Yes. I will visit the chairman's grave first, then head to Pyeongchang-dong. ― Take your time and be careful. Understood. Briefly reporting what had happened at the mountain lodge, he was about to hang up when Kim Mu-hyeok casually added. ― Just sprinkle the ashes over…
