A bombshell known as 'The Cheon Su-han Slot Machine Incident' had just exploded. Originally, Cheon Su-han's name wouldn't have appeared in this case. However... * * * Early April I was at a restaurant in Seocho-gu, Seoul. "Mu-hyeok, it's been a while." "Hope you've been well, Chief Prosecutor."

"Shut up, you bastards! I said shut it!" The boss's outburst startled the two men who turned to stare at him. Ignoring them, the boss stood up and bowed deeply to Chief Ha. "Good day, Chief Ha." "You know me?" "How many people in Myeong-dong don't know you, Chief Ha? I even greeted you once before. But why are you here..."

"Myeong-su, go wait in the car first." I tossed the car keys to Myeong-su. Catching the keys, Myeong-su hesitated before walking towards where the car was parked. "Where are we going?" "Let's take my car." "Lead the way." I followed behind Cheon Ji-soo. As she got into the driver's seat, I opened the passenger door and climbed in. "I didn't expect you to acknowledge me at school."

An abandoned factory on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province "Ugh... ugh!" A man tied to a chair groaned, looking around through the flickering incandescent lights. Suddenly, the fluorescent lights on the ceiling turned on, illuminating the factory. Squinting against the brightness, Hammer recognized the figure approaching from afar. Chief Ha was entering. Hammer desperately shook his body, but he couldn't move a finger, no matter how he'd been tied up. Even Hammer, who had been through thick and thin…

"How much time do you need?" Noh Ik-seon quickly repliedd "Two weeks... No, one week will be enough." I stared intently at Director Noh's face. Viper was avoiding my gaze. "Sigh... For now, prepare everything within a week and hand it over. I won't report this to Grandfather. I've helped you get established enough, so why are you getting greedy?

"They're planning to dismantle Hanahoe?" Chief Ha spoke up after receiving a glance from Chairman Cheon. "Yes, it seems they're planning a major military restructuring. They say they'll strip every single Hanahoe member of their position. Hanahoe meetings are increasing." After a moment of thought, Chairman Cheon said, "The President has made up his mind. It's not an easy decision, but to think he'd start by dismantling Hanahoe right after taking office." "He suffered greatly under the military…

The fist flew straight as an arrow. I twisted my head to dodge the punch, then threw a merciless jab at his face. The guy who took the hit to his nose staggered backward. In that moment, two onlookers rushed in simultaneously. Ignoring them, I closed the distance with the one called Hyeon-woo, grabbed his collar and unleashed a flurry of punches. Thwack! Thwack!

On February 25, 1993, a new government was inaugurated with the inauguration of President Kim Man-sam, a civilian, not from a military background. To differentiate from the previous administration, the Kim Man-sam government immediately disclosed the assets of the President himself and his family, and urged high-ranking officials to disclose their assets. The Cheongpung Group is probably taking a step back and observing the new president's actions. Meanwhile, spring was approaching for me as…

"Have you looked into Mi-suk's case? Anything suspicious?" Chairman Cheon suddenly asked, gazing out the window. The unexpected rain had darkened both outside and inside the study. Chief Ha's voice came through the gloomy darkness. "There aren't many records left." "No matter how I think about it, it's strange," Chairman Cheon muttered in a heavy voice.
