“how… … How?”
Ryu Geun-ho looked like he couldn’t understand for a moment.
“It is said that a truck driven by the US military hit the boss’s car.”
The lawyer calmly explained the incident.
A U.S. military tactical truck hit the passenger car of the president of Daeyang Electronics from behind and completely crushed it.
Since the vehicle weighed more than 15 tons, not only the back seat of the luxury car but also the driver’s seat were flattened, causing both the president and the driver to die on the spot.
“It looks like the driver was drinking.”
“Isn’t it something to do with that guy? Kang Yoo-jin?”
Ryu Geun-ho, who gradually escaped the shock and faced reality, asked.
“I think we will have to wait and see the results of the investigation. However, based on Kang Yu-jin’s progress so far, I don’t think the possibility is very high.”
“What on earth do we know about his behavior?”
“sorry.”
“So, if it was the US military, would it be possible to properly investigate?”
At Ryu Geun-ho’s question, the lawyer bows his head.
“It seems like it will end after I return to my home country.”
“Damn it… … How the hell did you get to this?”
“Anyway, the prosecution said they would release him first. I have to hold a funeral right now. I’ll let you try my hand while you’re out. If I do well, I think I can end it like this.”
“okay… … Okay.”
President Ryu replied with a shaky expression on his face.
He couldn’t decide whether to thank him for the fact that his brother’s death had spared him from arrest.
Somehow, my brother’s death did not feel like an accident.
And if there was Kang Yu-jin behind it, an ominous thought that this was only the beginning filled my head.
“Is it safe?”
Secretary Ryu asked Ryu Seong-gyu, his nephew. I knew it was going to happen, but I didn’t know when or where it would happen.
This work was entirely handled by Sunggyu.
“Pr. Chavez will soon be repatriated to his home country. You know my uncle, right? The US can’t touch it. It’s going to be blurry anyway.”
Sunggyu did not hide his funny expression.
“I will go back to my home country and go to trial, and I will serve a year at the most, and it will end as a dishonorable discharge. Maybe not even 6 months. That’s a windfall of 2 million dollars. Moreover, all the money was given in cash to Chavez’s cousin, so there is no need to worry about the future. And I can’t live without my friends in that town.”
“Yes. $2 million is money you won’t be able to see for the rest of your life.”
Secretary Liu nodded.
In fact, he was also a little surprised about Sunggyu’s personal connections.
When I was in America, I thought I only knew a few gangsters just because I made friends.
However, looking at the handling of this work, it seems that he had connections with really dark people. I hope we can even mobilize the U.S. military to commit murder.
“Will they not betray them?”
“What are you going to do? There’s no reason to do that? It is better to take the money you give and take it and wait for the next transaction.”
“Next deal… … .”
Wrinkles appeared and disappeared on Secretary Liu’s face.
If you and Sunggyu’s plan goes according to plan, the work isn’t over yet. At least two more need to disappear.
What Liu is worried about is not that the number of victims will increase as a result of their actions.
From the moment I decided to join the Daeyang Group anyway, I was prepared for that.
Rather, post-processing was a problem.
I’m not sure if I can end my relationship with such a dangerous human being cleanly.
Of course, he has his own thoughts. If there is only one link, it is enough to break that one link.
Uncle and nephew, while hiding their feelings for each other, celebrated the day’s success and toasted.

Eugene, who was informed of the incident from the president of Daeyang Electronics, called John Owen and asked if he knew anything about the incident.
Of course, no matter how great the information network is, he doesn’t know everything in the world.
John Brennan was also a bit surprised by this.
“It is completely unexpected. You may or may not think it is a simple thought. We are looking at it in several ways.”
“How do you think Sgt. Chavez will be treated?”
“I think I will come back to America soon.”
“A very influential person in Korea has died, will that happen?”
“So it’s more like that. It seems that the military prosecutors are already suspicious of the possibility that it is not a simple accident. And if it turns out that the expeditionary force killed a Korean celebrity under someone’s instigation, it would be quite difficult. It is a matter that can damage not only the military authorities, but also the government. I will never try to tell the truth.”
“okay.”
Eugene had already come to that conclusion. It was safe because I had done it too radically.
If you think that the fact that the U.S. military killed a famous business person in the sending country by contract will be featured in the press, the impact of that may be far-reaching.
The strong drive of the Trump administration, which has only been in office for less than a month, could be put on the brakes.
“We are also looking after Corporal Chavez. Even if it is difficult to take any legal action, we will be able to find the person who ordered it.”
John Brennan seems to have suffered a little bit of self-esteem. At Eugene’s instructions, I was closely monitoring every move of the Daeyang Group family, and it is natural that this happened suddenly.
“You don’t have to make things big. After all, it’s obvious who will benefit from doing something like that.”
If the president of the Daeyang Group loses consciousness and dies as it is, the remaining three brothers and his wife will inherit the inheritance. So the suspects are quickly narrowed down.
“Isn’t Ryu Seong-gyu and his hidden fourth son still hanging out?”
“yes. It’s been confirmed that they’ve been together quite a few times. We think they are most likely to be on their side as well.”
“How is Ryu Geun-soo now?”
The third son of the chairman and the father of Sunggyu, former president of Daeyang Heavy Industries, Ryu Geun-soo, took responsibility and went to Europe.
“It looks like you are coming to Korea for your brother’s funeral.”
“Pay more attention to you and the youngest.”
Eugene thought that the two people who were safe in the last life might be in danger this time.
Things were quite different back then. We still don’t know what Sunggyu and the other are thinking or what plans they have.
That said, I have no intention of thwarting their plans.
I just want to see exactly how the ocean group is collapsing from the inside out.
In fact, Sunggyu had expected to some extent that he could commit an accident at any time.
In the same way in his last life, he made his father the successor of the Daeyang Group, and he was also the one who took over the Daeyang Group.
The reason I let it go even though I knew it was because there was no reason to stop it.
“Can the Korean information network be able to grasp the movements of the political world in more detail?”
Rather, some other power trying to get their hands on the ocean group is annoying.
“I did a little handwriting. It seems that the orders to the prosecution came from all three places. The Blue House, the ruling party, and the opposition party. The ruling party is Rep. Han Jae-soo, a four-term lawmaker, and the opposition party is the vice chairman of the National Assembly.”
It brought much more detailed information than I expected. Eugene predicts that John may be getting information from the Korean National Intelligence Service.
The CIA has traditionally had deep relationships with national intelligence agencies.
John, who has been with the CIA for a long time and even served as a director, is not surprising that he has such a connection.
“He is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. He’s quite a giant.”
“I don’t know what you think there. There is no evidence that anyone ordered it. Let’s dig a little deeper.”
And John brought new information in just one day.
“It is said that the chief secretary of the vice chairman of the National Assembly is in frequent contact with the second son of the Samho group.”
“Samho group?”
Samho Group is a conglomerate that has been known for its wealth in real estate and distribution, and is a chaebol group in the top 5 in the business world.
And, importantly, the first son-in-law of the Chairman of the Daeyang Group is the sister-in-law of the Chairman of the Samho Group.
Unlike other chaebol groups, Daeyang Group Chairman Ryu never had an in-law relationship with an oversized family when he was married.
It is presumed that it was because they were reluctant to cause problems in the future due to their influence.
The only exception is that the youngest son, who had a riot in the US recently, was trying to form a bond with a famous group.
In that case, it was considered that the youngest son’s age was too young compared to the other brothers, so his reputation would not be able to use any power through the youngest.
So, Ryu’s children were all about the children of other chaebols or the owners of mid-sized companies. Or, he even sought a clever son-in-law from a dirt spoon.
So, the first son-in-law, the nephew of the Samho Group chairman, has the biggest background.
“Let’s investigate further the relationship between the Samho Group and the Daeyang Group.”
“I do that.”
The story with John Brennan ended there. For Eugene, a promise with a great giant was waiting for that day.
“Nice to meet you. David.”
That evening, Eugene met a hidden power in American business and politics in the President Suite of the Palace Hotel in New York.
It’s the first room I stayed in when I came to New York after winning the lottery, so it’s not unfamiliar to Eugene.
David Cork rejected Eugene’s Plaza Hotel and chose the Palace Hotel here, probably because he did not want to enter Eugene’s main camp from the beginning.
“Welcome. comrade.”
This year, a seventy-six-year-old mean-looking white man greeted Eugene with a bright expression.
David Cork.
In the United States, he is one of the owners of Coke Industries, an oil giant that alternates between number one and number two along with Cargill as a privately held company.
Together with his brother Charles Coke, he owns an 82% stake in Coke Industries, making him tied for 8th on the Forbes Billionaires list.
However, the combined fortunes of the two easily surpass Bill Gates, the number one player.
In fact, it could be said that he was the most wealthy person in the United States. Of course, that was until Eugene was still on the Forbes rankings.
In other words, the younger brother invited Eugene out of the brothers who had been deprived of the first richest position by Eugene.
“You call me comrade, so I don’t know what to say. In any case, it seems right to have something in common in many ways.”
Eugene was making a similar expression on her own, thinking that the bright smile on the old man’s face would never be genuine hospitality.
“I think of Eugene as the heir who most clearly connects our ideals. huh.”
“Thank you for looking at me like that. I also consider David and Charles to be true revolutionaries.”
Eugene replied, thinking that David’s face could tell just how sly man he was.
