Shin Tae-ho, who was detained in the detention center of the Security Agency, continued to think.
‘What am I missing?’
Suddenly, in an instant, North Korean officials related to Shin Tae-ho are arrested one after another on charges of bribery.
He has been lobbying countless times, and sometimes one or two people have been caught for unexpected reasons, but it is the first time in Shin Tae-ho’s life that all the people involved are caught in a trap.
In addition to that, Dongbin Choi’s incomprehensible reaction was added, and Shin Tae-ho’s mind became more and more complicated.
“Let’s go back to the beginning and think about it.”
To the moment when I just set foot in North Korea.
“Single-minded trade, these guys were unquestionable. Obviously, there was no substance in constantly exporting and importing something. So I nudged the deputy chief, and then the deputy chief struck down the person in charge who was supposed to have been paid by the one-hearted trader.”
At that moment, what Dongbin Choi had said came to mind in Shin Tae-ho’s mind.
-The person in charge suddenly changed, so I was wondering if that was the reason.
Little by little, the puzzles are put together.
“The deputy chief said there was no evidence, so he couldn’t touch it. That is to say, the investigation was conducted on single-minded trade… Did you find out only after I told you why the person in charge was changed even after being investigated?”
Shin Tae-ho’s first cautious approach was the idea that North Korea’s high-ranking officials might be behind the one-hearted trade.
Then, seeing the conductor’s reaction, I was sure it wasn’t.
But what if the North Korean high-ranking officials are really behind the single-minded trade.
What if there was someone who was much higher than the conductor?
Shin Tae-ho’s pupils shook violently.
“… Now all this is explained.”
The proof is that the person in charge does not care whether or not the person in charge is replaced.
why?
The background of single-minded trade is that he is a person with great power that he can change the colors of the person in charge at will.
Shin Tae-ho now understands the things related to the One Heart Trade.
But that didn’t solve all the questions.
“Why did you take the building out? Did the conductor really not know?”
I’m so lost in my doubts, but suddenly, the security staff rush in and arrest all the people in the detention center and drag them somewhere.
Shin Tae-ho said to the security staff with a bewildered expression.
“Where are you going now?”
However, none of the security staff responds to Shin Tae-ho’s words.
Just quietly dragging everyone out.
and how long has it been
“… Am I the only one left?”
Police officers who dragged everyone except Tae-ho Shin outside.
And then.
– Jeep, jerk.
The sound of heavy footsteps was heard from the basement stairs going down to the detention center.
“Who are you!”
people who were suddenly taken away.
And Shin Tae-ho, who was left alone.
Shin Tae-ho was convinced that the owner of that shoe-foot sound had a business for him.
And at the same time, the fact that he is a powerful person who can control the Security Bureau.
“I will do everything you ask me to! If I did anything wrong, I apologize!”
While Shin Tae-ho was raining, the owner of the shoe-foot sound finally appeared.
“So I… .”
Shin Tae-ho, who had been praying hard, confirmed the owner of the sound and was speechless.
“mask… ?”
The face of the man who came down the stairs and stood in front of Shin Tae-ho was covered with a mask.
In addition to that, the left sleeve flapping as if nothing had happened.
“Is that Chairman Shin Tae-ho?”
“No, that’s right.”
“I didn’t talk much. Do you want to live?”
Then Shin Tae-ho nodded vigorously and said.
“I want to live!”
“There is only one way to get out alive. Your son has already agreed, so if Chairman Shin agrees, he will move right away, Judy.”
Shin Tae-ho is embarrassed when a masked one-armed North Korean man suddenly mentions his son.
“… Oh, son?”
What the hell is the relationship between the North Korean ruler and his son in South Korea?
“You are lucky, Alau. Did you get a chance thanks to the good view of Chairman Shin from the upper level?”
A person who appears to be of considerable power in North Korea refers to the superior.
But Shin Tae-ho felt it instinctively.
That the upper part may not mean North Korea.
“The superior you are talking about… .”
“Have you not been introduced yet?”
The masked man looked at Shin Tae-ho and said.
“Come on, Black Tiger.”
* * *
The Haeju Port branch of Taeho Merchandise returned after meeting the people of the Black Lake.
There were many reporters in front of the branch to cover Shin Tae-ho’s detention, but Shin Tae-ho did not answer and entered the office inside the branch.
When Shin Tae-ho sat down without a word, the secretary said in an urgent voice.
“Chairman, I don’t know the circumstances, but since you’ve been released, you need to get a fast ferry and go back to Korea… .”
“I can’t go out.”
“… Yes?”
“I can’t go out for a while.”
“What… .”
Shin Tae-ho said, waving his hands helplessly.
“I don’t have the energy to talk right now, so go out.”
At Shin Tae-ho’s words, the secretary hesitated for a moment, then closed the door and went outside.
Shin Tae-ho leaned back on the chair and murmured.
“Black ho… .”
The organization of cancer that had only been heard through rumors.
The man saved Shin Tae-ho with only one condition.
Enter the Black Tiger and follow the Black Tiger’s instructions.
Aside from that, the man who didn’t even say anything about why he saved him or what was going on.
Shin Tae-ho had no choice.
Because my son had already agreed to go into the Black Lake, and he had no other way to get out of his body, limbs and body.
“There are black tigers in North Korea… It’s also quite high-ranking.”
I heard rumors that it was a global secret organization, but I never really imagined it would be this big.
At that time, Shin Tae-ho remembered that the man was a one-armed man.
“One-armed North Korean high-ranking… .”
Shin Tae-ho opened his laptop and started to search the Internet.
And not long after, Shin Tae-ho discovered the man’s identity.
“Lee Chan-hyeok, the head of the National Security Agency?”
A member of the dungeon gang known to have played a key role in the success of Pan-ho Jang’s coup, and the only survivor who survived, although he lost one arm.
Thanks to this, Chan-hyeok Lee became the hero of the coup d’état, and after Jang Pan-ho came to power, he took over the head of a key North Korean institution called the Bowi-bu when he appointed his own person to a key position.
The head of the security department, who says that I also drop birds, belongs to the Black Tiger.
Shin Tae-ho felt goosebumps all over his body.
“… He appeared on purpose.”
What could be the reason Chanhyuk Lee, who has an unusual appearance to anyone who is a one-armed person, came out in person?
It was just to press Shin Tae-ho.
The pressure to not think nonsense.
“The hero of the coup is the Black Tiger… Wait a minute, if the coup itself was a concoction of the Black Lake… ? I hope Captain Jang Pan-ho is also black… .”
When his thoughts reached that point, Shin Tae-ho hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around.
Shin Tae-ho said in a cold sweat.
“If that’s true… North Korea is virtually occupied by the Black Tiger.”
To mock the government in South Korea and take over North Korea in a coup d’etat.
This has already gone beyond the level of tissue among cancers.
“I will keep it a secret until the day I die.”
Shin Tae-ho’s promise was natural.
From this moment on, the leak of the secret will mean the death of Shin Tae-ho.
Shin Tae-ho, who had calmed his startled mind for a moment, muttered quietly.
“But surprisingly, this could be an opportunity.”
Now, Shin Tae-ho himself is also a member of the Black Lake, and the highest rank in North Korea exists in the Black Lake.
Why did Shin Tae-ho spend so much money?
To establish their own bribe line in North Korea.
However, all of this can be solved with just one participation in the Black Lake.
Of course, it was also dangerous.
Then I heard the secretary’s voice.
“Chairman, Dongbin Choi, CEO of Ilsim Trading, has come to visit us. You say you have a promise.”
Chanhyuk Lee said.
Someone from the Black Lake will find you.
Shin Tae-ho realizes that someone is Choi Dong-bin.
“One-hearted trade was also a black tiger… .”
Something was unclear and I suspected that someone might be behind it, but the scale and size exceeded Shin Tae-ho’s imagination.
“Is it possible that this division was formed because of me because of the deputy chief’s one-minded trade?”
Shin Tae-ho, who was thinking about various things, immediately shook his head and said.
“… I do not know.”
Chanhyuk Lee didn’t say anything.
“What should I do?”
“Please come in.”
So Dongbin Choi entered the office.
Choi Dong-bin looked at Shin Tae-ho and was silent for a moment.
“All future communications and instructions will be forwarded through me.”
don’t talk long
Just giving orders and carrying out orders.
Shin Tae-ho knew why Choi Dong-bin had not been curious about the reason why the person in charge had changed, nor did he really want to know.
because it’s not their job.
Because they are all cogs belonging to the giant group called the Black Tiger.
‘I was considering recruiting him because he seemed capable, but I was hired instead.’
I thought that a small evil called Choi Dong-bin met with a big evil that was him and collapsed, but it was the complete opposite.
The great evil himself was just performing stunts without knowing the subject in front of the great evil Heukho.
Shin Tae-ho quietly nodded and said.
“… All right.”
* * *
The trade part that was lacking by the consolidation of Taihu Products was completely reinforced, and the globalization of snow white fruit was further accelerated.
Through the expedient know-how that Taeho Products has cultivated for decades, the snow white fruit that Onesim Trading has been buying from all over the world, it spreads more safely to all parts of the world.
I put down the papers and said.
“… I have come this far.”
A life very different from the previous life.
Unlike my previous life, when I was sad for a penny, I am a different person now.
Oh Young-su, a rich man in the dungeon whose land was stolen from me, was not like this.
Unlike me, who kept the land intact, Oh Young-soo had to sell most of the land for the Dangjin Dungeon New Town development plan.
Of course, I bought the land again with that money, but it’s nothing compared to the current me.
“Now, even if you live in moderation, you won’t have to worry about money for the rest of your life.”
As for the sunny business and the land price, it is already at the level of the chaebol, and the shade business is several times that.
You will be able to live a very luxurious life with just the money you have saved so far.
However.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“I cannot stop here.”
In the hunter era, money is not everything.
You must have both money and power.
That’s what I’ve been running for so far.
The moment I stop, the curtains set up to hide the crimes I have committed also weaken.
So don’t stop.
By gathering everyone’s desires together, he creates an impenetrable fortress that will never be captured.
All the foundations have been built.
Until the North Korean special zone, the world version of the black market, and the black tiger, which had no substance, had a real reality.
Now it just needs to spread indefinitely.
“By the way, it’s an election soon.”
Kim Kang-gyun’s tenure, who had been busy overturning North Korea and creating a special zone through negotiations with the United States, was nearing the end of his tenure, who had been calling for restrictions on hunters and guilds.
The public’s evaluation of the period of Kim Kang-gyun’s reign was generally negative.
Although he tried his best, such as pretending to be influential in North Korea, there are regulations that were introduced with curiosity, but he showed his incompetence, even being harassed by the Black Tiger.
Thanks to this, the opposition party won the most seats in the mid-term general election, and showed high approval ratings in the presidential election, making progress.
Obviously, in the past, I would have done anything to project my influence.
However.
“Do what you want. It doesn’t matter who gets elected anyway.”
I’m not the one who was threatened by the chief of staff in the past.
When a new president comes out, you have to react accordingly.
The election was no longer my concern.
Rather, they are more interested in the new dungeon that will appear in a few months.
Even though there are already two E-class dungeons in Korea, and one of them even has a casino.
“buy? stop?”
Before that, I bought a lot of land and made a casino with the excuse that I was lucky, but no matter how much it is.
It’s already a situation in which people’s attention has been drawn by forming a group and disclosing some of its sales, but it’s a little bit different because it’s only an E-class dungeon.
“The landowners knew everything, but… .”
it’s still a concern
Are you going to live here as well with the excuse that you were lucky enough to buy it, or just ignore it and pass by?
“I’ll just pass… No.”
Jung-in Group Chairman In-soo Jeong has a narrow range of movement because of people’s attention.
But isn’t Black Tiger different?
It is to purchase the land using the names of countless people belonging to the Black Lake.
After all, they have no choice but to follow my instructions.
“What if the guild leaders here also help out with a spoonful?”
they will be astonished
The power of the Black Tiger that swept through the area as if he knew where the E-class dungeon would be created.
You will be curious
how did you know
how far do you know
But they won’t get an answer.
Black Tiger, as always, only gives orders.
After that time, they will just be satisfied with the profits they have earned.
At the same time, you will learn a clear lesson that it will be beneficial if you follow the instructions of the Black Tiger.
“Good. I have to do this.”
You can secretly buy land and gain infinite trust from the guilds.
Then an idea flashed through my mind.
“Wait, if you’re going to go out to the level of dungeon prophecy anyway, can’t you do it more boldly?”
The name Heukho is a master key that rationalizes any abnormality.
A master key that no one can come up with a clear answer even though he’s done a ridiculous level of work and just moves on to the black tiger.
I said with my eyes shining.
“Do you really want to try it?”
Something I’ve always thought about in my mind.
It’s a secret dungeon.
Create a huge building that can accommodate the entire dungeon at the location where the dungeon will appear.
Then, when a dungeon is created, it is created as a dungeon unique to the Black Tiger organization.
A dungeon only for the Black Tiger organization that no one even knows about.
There are no taxes and no inspections on all items coming out of this place.
“Even if it is discovered later, all the hunters who used it are accomplices.”
Not only does it increase the sense of belonging and cohesion among the hunters belonging to the Black Tiger organization, but also the symbolism of a dark organization with dungeons that the state does not even know about.
Hunters belonging to the Black Tiger who witnessed the secret dungeon hidden in the building will be astonished at the potential and power of the Black Tiger.
Of course, I don’t understand how this is possible, but that’s going to make the Black Tiger even more overestimated.
Although there are no items that can make a lot of money as an E-class dungeon, it is really suitable as a training place for the affiliated hunters.
It would be crazy to use Jung In-soo’s name.
Because I am already exposed.
But if it’s a black tiger… It is possible.
It’s close to impossible to reach me through the shields of countless people, including Yoon Sang-deok.
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Okay, let’s make it. A secret dungeon.”
