The U.S. was no different from Korea. In the name of bailouts, they propped up Wall Street, which had been operating recklessly, ultimately inflating the time bomb of the impending Lehman crisis. The only difference between them and Korea was that they had the ridiculous ability to print dollars at will. For Washington, choosing bailouts was a politically burdensome move due to public opinion. "This is not a decision I can make alone. Can you give me some time?" "Sure. But please make a decision…-

An old castle in Germany. "How many years has it been since we all gathered like this?" Five elderly men were seated around a large round table, chatting among themselves. "Not since the Gulf War, I imagine." The old men nodded slightly and sipped from their teacups. At first glance, it seemed like a peaceful, mundane gathering, but that was far from the truth. "We need to get Bill to sign off on repealing the banking regulations before he leaves office." "Of course. That’s why we put that brat in…

"That's not what you should be asking right now." Kim Hak-gwon frowned, clearly dissatisfied with my response, glaring at me. "Why are you asking what everyone already knows? You know the answer. I'm Kim Mu-hyeok." "Don't play word games with me!" Kim Hak-gwon slammed the armrest of his chair, shouting angrily. I had to stifle a laugh. "Who else, huh? If not me, then who? I'm the one who did everything to make sure the President got where he is. The money, the public opinion, even Han Gyeong-yeong…

"How far ahead is Mu-hyeok planning? It’s seriously impressive." After ending the call with Kim Mu-hyeok, Han Gyeong-yeong sook his head in disbelief and immediately contacted Secretary Rubin. "Secretary, I’m ready to proceed with what I asked of you earlier. Once the Korean government surrenders, we’ll revert everything back to normal." ― Did the Korean government really do something like that? Han Gyeong-yeong chuckled at Rubin’s question, having already dealt with Korean politicians and…

I never trust politicians. I backed Kim Hak-gwon’s candidacy to block the Cheongpung Group's influence on the presidential election. It wasn’t because I trusted him. "They say they're handing the case over to the National Intelligence Service. NIS is sending people to bring us in soon." As soon as the Kim Hak-gwon administration took over, they made their move, appointing a new intelligence chief. Even if the NIS had lost face abroad for its political moves, its intelligence gathering capabilities…

Manager Ma's voice was trembling. "Pyeongchang-dong was attacked. And... Myung-hoon got shot." "What?" The ominous feeling I had was right after all. "More people showed up than we expected, but fortunately, the situation’s under control now." "What about Grandfather? Is he safe?" "Chief Ha shielded him with his body. The shooter’s dead." Manager Ma seemed to regain his composure, his expression returning to normal. His tone when mentioning Chief Ha also shifted. "He’s on his way to the…

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Lee Yong-hyun laughed like a madman, then glared at me as if he wanted to kill me. "I was a fool. I should have killed you when I killed your mother." "Why did you do it? What reason did you have to kill my parents? Just to get your hands on Cheon Su-man and his brother?" "Reason? Do I need one? Or are you hoping for some kind of closure? If I tell you why, will you spare me?" He was trying to act calm, but I could see he still had a will to live. "It doesn't matter. What’s…

Park Dong-su had finished all the preparations and was talking with Lee Sang-geun, waiting for Kim Mu-hyeok's order. "Sang-geun." "Yes, hyung." "Once this is over, it's your turn to take over the company. Got it?" "Hyung!" Lee Sang-geun was shocked by Park Dong-su's sudden words. "What are you talking about? You have to stay. I can only run the company because you're behind me, hyung." "No, you'll manage fine on your own. I've held on only to avenge Suhyeong." Before Lee Sang-geun could respond,…

After Yamamoto Ken and 13 other groups simultaneously withdrew from the Yamaguchi-gumi, they established a new faction called the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi, centered around Kobe. Lee Yong-hyun had asked the Japanese government to pressure Korea, promising he could secure Dokdo for them, but no answer came. "It seems things back in the homeland are getting pretty tense." The tea leaves in the cup floated up slowly. Lee Yong-hyun, who had been squinting down at them, lifted his head. The core members of the…

The *Goryeo Daily* was first established during the Japanese occupation by pro-Japanese figures. While the owners were collaborators, the reporters and editors below them aspired to turn it into an anti-Japanese nationalist paper. After several changes in ownership due to oppression from the Japanese Government-General of Korea, the paper eventually fell into the hands of the pro-Japanese leader, Go Eung-soo. It nearly disappeared from history but was quickly revived. Afterward, by supporting figures…
