Yumashev burst into laughter at the thought of Putin monitoring his activities in Russia. "Hahaha!" It was impossible not to laugh; his behavior was the same whether in Korea or Russia. When no words came from the other end of the line, I quickly apologized. "Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Feel free to tell me where I’m going and who I’m meeting. I don’t have anyone to meet right now, anyway. I was planning to do some sightseeing for a few days..." —Is that so? “Aren’t I in a…-

I met with Boris Berezovsky, Yeltsin's daughter, and the head of the Kremlin's administration. Yeltsin's daughter, Tatyana Dyachenko. Valentiy Yumashev, the head of the administration. These two were the hidden powers of Russia. If Putin was the future power, these two were the present ones. Although their power was waning, they were still the ones pulling the strings in Russia. "Hello, I’m Kim Mu-hyeok. I’m honored to mee you." "Nice to meet you. I’m Dyachenko." The atmosphere was quite…

I calmly took another sip of coffee as I observed Putin, whose receding hairline still showed some sign of life. "If you understand me, our conversation will be smoother," "Well, I can’t say if it will be smooth or not. The more I learn about you, the more mysterious you become," he replied. Putin took a sip of his black tea and shot me an interesting look. "I find Dream High’s movements fascinating as well. To think you’re playing the same side as the old dogs on Wall Street while holding a…

The oligarchs were the ones who successfully re-elected Yeltsin. It was a clear demonstration of their hold over the media. They controlled the broadcasting stations and newspapers, airing only bleak images from the Communist era and never broadcasting any negative news since the democratization. I wondered how far I had run while imagining what Berezovsky was like. In the distance, the Kremlin caught my eye. The vehicle carrying me swiftly arrived in front of the hotel. "Please wait a moment." The…

After sending Cheon Ji-young to Pyeongchang-dong, I headed straight for the office in Myeong-dong. The atmosphere in the car was tense. No one spoke to me until we arrived at the office, not even Manager Ma. Am I just focusing too much on the road ahead? Something felt off, so I closed my eyes. I couldn’t stop thinking about Eva’s problem and Cheon Ji-young’s situation. “We’ve arrived.” It was Manager Ma who broke the heavy silence that lingered in the office. When I opened my eyes, I…

Eva's tears continued to flow for quite a while. But it was far better than pretending to be okay. After all, if she couldn't cry, she wouldn't be able to heal. "Boss... thank you. And I'm sorry." I patted the sobbing Eva on the back. "No, it's the least I could do. As long as you haven't betrayed me, I would go anywhere for you." "I was scared... I just wanted to die." Eva’s eyes flickered, as if she didn't know where to focus. The tears began to slow, but it was hardly a good sign. Just…

Eric divided the teams into snipers, escorts, and reserves, meticulously reviewing every detail of the operation. "Boss, no matter how perfect everything seems, we can’t predict everything." I nodded in agreement. "The location isn’t ideal. There are only a few sniper points, and if a fight breaks out, it could get dangerous." Eric handed me a bulletproof vest he had prepared in advance. "You should wear this too, Boss. It won’t stop everything, but it’ll increase your chances of…

For several days, I had been hiring professional detectives to locate Eva's whereabouts. Finally, I learned the identity of the last man she met. "A triad? What on earth would make Eva get involved with a thug?" "I don't know." The triad... Suddenly, Eva's last words flashed through my mind. 'I need to meet someone. They say he's an agent for a high-ranking official in China. Things have gotten complicated since the acquisition of Peregrine. I'll report back once I'm done.' I swallowed down a sigh…

After a long absence, I finally arrived at the house in Pyeongchang-dong. "Welcome, Young Master," came a warm greeting. A familiar face greeted me with a smile." I approached, my face lighting up with joy." "Chief, you’re already discharged? You should rest a bit longer. Don’t push yourself too hard!" "How can I just lie around when the Chairman is worried? Haha! I can move around just fine now. The doctor comes to check on me every three days too," he said cheerfully. Chief Ha's complexion…

"The FRB has agreed to proceed with the original plan. Wall Street's consortium will acquire 90% of the shares and proceed with the bailout." The government was already under heavy criticism for supporting LTCM, so my proposal to shoulder the burden was a win-win for both sides. I never thought they'd reject my offer. "The Treasury was in favor of your proposal. It's true the government feels burdened by the bailout. But the FRB rejected it outright." Did Wall Street's influence play a role? I quickly…
