"I've been thinking about it and something seems off so I did some digging. Don't you find it strange Uncle? It's odd that Grandfather received no news at all. It's as if someone deliberately blocked the information..." Cheon Su-han's eyes flickered uneasily. As I thought he knows something. The light in the lawyer's visiting room flickered unsteadily. "No matter how estranged they were, Mom was still Grandfather's youngest daughter. Isn't it strange that neither the police nor prosecutors noticed such…-

"Mu-hyeok, I'm scared of you." Those words hit me hard. Jo Hyun-gu's family, directly involved in Hyeon-seong's affairs, had fallen into ruin. And that wasn't all. Everyone even slightly connected to this incident was forced to retire from the judo world. Whether by moving prosecutors to dig into corruption and make arrests, or resorting to threats if that didn't work. "Scared..." I trailed off, watching Hyeon-seong's face intently. Despite his words, Hyeon-seong didn't avoid my gaze at all. "I got…

Thank you for your hard work Chief Prosecutor" A hollow laugh echoed through the receiver from Chief Prosecutor Yoon "Hard work? It's all corruption, to the point where I don't know how they've gotten away with it until now. Not only that, they're also linked to several disappearance cases. Without the current President's backing, not even Congressman Kim Se-young could stop this" "Seems like he was quite the smooth operator…

"Is it a difficult task, Chief Prosecutor?" Despite the smile on his face, my voice was icy. If he had truly forgotten the significance of my actions in saving him, then perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to remind him once in a while... A gentle reminder might not be such a bad thing. As my tone shifted, Chief Prosecutor Yoon waved his hands dismissively. "No, it’s just that the atmosphere at the Prosecutor's Office has been tense lately. I was wondering if my relationship with the President has soured. It…

As promised, Manager Ma brought Bae Won-chun to the factory the next day. This guy was clearly different from the ones I saw yesterday. Being an ex-gangster really showed. His eyes were still full of venom. This should be interesting. "Take the tape off his mouth." Manager Ma ripped the tape off Bae Won-chun's mouth. The moment the tape came off Bae Won-chun started cursing. "You sons of bitches! Who sent you? Don't you know who I am? I'm Bae Won-chun! Bae Won-chun!" "That's right you caught the…

Hyeon-seong dropped his father off at Seoul Station and parted ways with the kids. I returned home and gave my first instruction to Ma Seok-dae, who had been waiting for me. "Please look into what's going on with the Korea National Sport University judo national team selection, especially regarding Park Hyeonseong.

"Are you finally going to give me an answer?" I've thought a lot about this. I don’t want to step into the light, Young Master. That wasn’t the answer I expected. "So, can I take that to mean you’re saying you’ll hold my uncle’s hand?" That’s not it. "Then what?" I'll stay put. When you step into the light, I’ll remain in the shadows. If you could just grant me that... I let out a sigh, making sure Noh Ik-seon didn’t hear me.. "Understood. I get what you're saying, so just carry…
