Despite seeing Oh Gil-seok and Shin Seong-il being dragged away earlier Moon Tae-beom's eyes showed no sign of being intimidated. Whether he trusted the Cheongpung Group behind him or believed they wouldn't kill him because of his Japanese citizenship I wasn't sure. "Moon Tae-beom Fune Toshiro." But as soon as Moon Tae-beom's Japanese name left my lips his eyes began to waver dramatically. "Adopted son of Choi Jae-su head of the action squad of Hiraguri-gumi a second-tier organization of the…-

Though he looked young, it was definitely Moon Tae-beom. "Young Master?" The repeated call snapped me back to reality. I put on my habitual smile as I faced Boss Shin. "Ah, I was just lost in thought. Shall we go in? Are your employees behind you?" "Yes, do you recognize any of them?" "No, I don't. Is your business going well?" Even as I conversed with Boss Shin, my mind was in turmoil. Moon Tae-beom was definitely a Korean-Japanese Yakuza. He was the vanguard of Japan's invasion into Korea's…

In Mexico, a massive flight of foreign capital had begun. This was due to a crisis in the Mexican peso. In just one day, 6 billion dollars fled from the Mexican central bank. But that was only the beginning. On the 22nd, Mexico expanded the fluctuation range of the exchange rate against the US dollar and implemented another round of devaluation measures. At the beginning of 1994, it was 31 pesos to 1 dollar. When Han Gyeong-yeong contracted with Goldman Sachs, it had already fallen to 35 pesos. No…

"Who is this person called the Chairman?" When Grandfather sent Cheon Su-man to Australia, I had asked him about Cheongpung Group. "Please tell me about Cheongpung Group. Why can't even you, with all your power, take revenge against them?" Grandfather remained silent, just staring at me. Frustrated, I pressed him again. "What's your relationship with them that you're staying quiet? I need to know. Please tell me, Grandfather." Grandfather, who had been sitting quietly, opened the safe behind him. It…

The moment Ji-young saw my face, she burst into tears. Thinking it'd be best for her to compose herself before meeting Grandfather, I took Ji-young outside. "I'm so sorry, Oppa..." Her sudden tears caught me off guard. Seeing how much thinner Ji-young had become, I struggled to find the right words. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." As she kept apologizing through her tears, any lingering discomfort I felt vanished. I placed my hand on her head, feeling her trembling beneath my touch. I looked directly…

Oh Jeong-seok, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Appointed as Chief Justice during the 5th Republic, he wielded his gavel according to his convictions without bowing to political pressure. As a result, he was respected by many in the legal profession. Having finished my greeting, I stood before him. Without inviting me to sit, he simply stared at me. I met his gaze unflinchingly. It was a long while before his probing gaze finally dropped. "Have a seat." "Thank you." As I sat down, Oh Jeong-seok's…

In contrast to my cool gaze, a smile played on my lips. Park Dong-su looked at me with a slightly uneasy expression. "I'll get in touch." "You absolutely must not hurt them or anything like that. When you threaten them, create a situation where they feel like 'I could die at any moment.' You're professionals, so you know this better than I do, right? I'm counting on you." "That's what our boys are good at. Don't worry. It's scarier to set the mood and not let them sleep properly than to actually hit…

When I opened the door and left Myeong-su didn't ask anything else. "Want some ramen?" His words made me smile without realizing it. "Yeah, I should eat before I go." "Wait here." Myeong-su put down the law book he was reading on the table and got up to go to the kitchen to boil water. Meanwhile I cooled my swollen eyes with cold water. A moment later, Myeong-su brought the ramen to the table and said to me, "Geez, look at your face you crazy bastard. Hurry up and eat." "Yeah, I'll eat well." As…

It happened a few months ago when several dozen days had passed since Chairman Cheon asked Chief Ha to look into Cheon Mi-suk's case. "Chairman it's Myung-hoon." "Come in." Chief Ha's face was tense as he opened the door and entered the study. It was unusual for someone who rarely showed emotion. "What's wrong? Why the grim face? Did something happen in Myeong-dong?" Chairman Cheon asked with slight surprise but Chief Ha couldn't bring himself to speak. "Hey Myung-hoon this isn't like you. Why the…
