146 episodes. It’s hateful….
“Why don’t you know, I know.”
David said, looking at the chip in his hand.
“But? Give it to someone else besides Holly!?”
“It’s not something that can’t be transferred. What are you doing so badly?”
“A guy who knows that Gary made it to save the place of a poor bastard would say such a thing!?”
“It was the price for saving Lana.”
“…what? The price?”
“I saved someone more precious than my life, what can I not give?”
“Why did you give it to me?”
“Because that friend asked me to pick it up. Turns out he had one more chip besides the one I gave him.”
Stanley asked with suspicious eyes.
“Where did you get that chip?”
“I got it from Henry.”
“Henry Bearfax? He really gave it to him?”
David answered the question instead.
“Henry’s chips don’t have a stake.”
“But give it to someone else? It’s like Gary’s keepsake, right?”
“He’s a friend that Henry cares so much about. And Stanley is the only one who attaches so much meaning to that chip.”
“Things that don’t have any loyalty. Yeah, Henry did too. I didn’t like him from the beginning. Even when the three of us asked us to have a brotherhood, we refused, and you bastard.”
“Truth, by what righteousness do we become brothers?”
“Heh, there’s no way you can understand things that don’t even matter. Hey, young man. Do you understand?”
Of course I nodded.
“Are there people who don’t know the resolution of Taowon? Sometimes, brotherhood is more for each other than brothers who share blood.”
“Because we’re the same Asian, you know something, yes.”
They’re not brothers, but the sister with whom they shared blood is so deviant.
“But why are you collecting those chips? You’re not aiming for the Royal Crown, are you?”
“I’ve been asked this question from Mr. Wolf in the past. I don’t even know the password, how can that be possible? And even if I did, it wouldn’t be enough to take away my management rights.”
At the beginning of the establishment, the shares were listed and the structure had changed a lot.
The value of the stock itself has risen, but the shareholding ratio has decreased.
According to Lucy, it is currently about 9.5% per chip. Even if you get all the bearer shares, it’s only 38%.
“Then why do you collect chips?”
Stanley Wu asked again.
I told the Melbourne Cup the same way I told David.
About how rude Jayden Parker was, and even the fact that he wouldn’t be able to do it if he had a chip.
“Jaden, he’s still the same. It’s tedious. But you seem to think about Henry quite a bit. How did you meet and get a chip?”
“The first place I met Henry was at a casino. I gambled with him by chance, and he gave me this chip when we broke up.”
“……”
“I thought it was a chip I had never seen in a casino, so I asked what it was. At that time, Henry gave me this as a commemorative that he saw an old friend. Then he told me to come to the P&B Tower with the chip if I wanted to see him later.”
“Hmm, actually, I got the feeling that I’m familiar with you too. So?”
It seems to be interesting
Stanley’s eyes gradually softened.
“I met Henry again and happened to hear about the origin of these chips. My work with Jaden Parker was decisive, but in fact, that story made me want to collect chips for the first time.”
“I’ve been wanting to collect since then? Why?
“I thought that collecting these chips would lead to a person named Gary Parker. He was already dead, so I wanted to get to know the person Henry admired.”
“Well, the owners of chips are an integral part of Gary’s life.”
At his words, I thought it was an opportunity, so I talked about his chips.
“I heard that the president keeps one as well.”
“Two days, why? Do you want mine too?”
“I would like to, but I don’t know what to give in return. I could tell just how much you care about the agenda.”
“Yes, nothing in the world can exchange it. This is for the son he wanted to protect until the end.”
Stanley seemed to want to uphold Gary Parker’s will no matter what.
“I wonder, did President Gary Parker really stick to that idea until he died?”
“What?”
“I heard from Mr. Wolf a while ago about the owners of the chips. There are three of them here, and the other two belong to lifelong rivals Robert Bardock and his wife Scarlett Parker.”
“……”
“But no one knows where Scarlett Parker’s chip is. My son, Jaden Parker, said he even dug his mother’s grave to find it. Even though he was hospitalized, President Gary Parker was still alive.”
“Are you saying that Gary hid it on purpose?”
“If not, there’s no reason not to give your wife’s chips in the yard that inherited her stake.”
Jayden, who wants to further solidify his position as heir, has his eyes turned over and committed a felony digging into his mother’s grave.
And when Gary Parker saw it, he reasoned that he hid the chip out of a sense of betrayal towards his son.
“How about hiding one chip?”
“What if you left a message with the chip to someone? For example, what if you had a stake in the chip and removed your son from the position of chairman of the Royal Crown? It won’t be possible with just the chip’s stake, but it will definitely be of great help.”
“Hmm……”
Anyway, I think there must be a good reason for giving me the compass and its chip.
What I told Stanley was the most plausible scenario I’ve guessed based on the information so far.
“David, what do you think?”
“Well. Jaden did such a crazy thing, but did he change his mind before he died? He was very sorry for his son…”
“As much as I felt sorry for Jaden, I felt sorry for Scarlett as much as I did. Because of that, no matter how much I cheated on him, he didn’t enjoy the style. Heroes are sensual corporations, but that was his only weakness…”
Isn’t that an advantage, not a disadvantage? What’s the best thing about having an affair with your wife?
“Then maybe you’ve turned your back on Jaden for disturbing Scarlett’s rest?”
“I mean, it’s not a very baseless rumor. But.”
Stanley turned to me and continued.
“Unless you can find Scarlett’s chip and the password to the safe, it’s all bullshit.”
“Then what if we find it?”
“Bring it. If you have the chip, the code, and Gary’s message, as you said, I’ll be happy to give it to you.”
“Is that true?”
“Anyway, I hope your greed will reveal Gary’s truth.”
oops, you got it
Even though he is old, his eyesight is not normal.

Macau turned upside down.
Overnight, the National Police Agency, the Judicial Police Department, and the Public Security Police Department under the Security Forces conducted an extensive joint investigation.
Macau’s security forces, which are densely populated with public security agencies, boasted the world’s best arresting power as a single investigative agency.
Moreover, it was possible to lock all the gates of land, sea, and air by moving to the Customs and Immigration Office, which are affiliated organizations.
It’s literally a mouse in a poison.
Moreover, the astronomical bounty raised by SWM has turned all citizens of Macau as sources of information as well as all private institutions in Macau.
The members of 14K and Hwaseunghwa started to be searched out like that.
It is said that the organization was torn to shreds, and Bang Won-liang and Tsu-mei could not last three days and were pushed by their subordinates for betrayal.
“How are you two?”
Yang Ah-gwan answered my question with a cigarette in his mouth.
“I was arrested and then arrested in prison. And I heard that he was dead.”
“Die? Why?”
“Officially, both of them are suicides, but I think Chairman Stanley took the lead. The Bureau of Prisons, which manages prisons, is also a part of the security forces.”
That’s awesome.
David had previously called them dead, but they were.
“How’s the competition going?”
“The organizer Bang Won-ryang has become like that, so it should be stopped, but there is only one final left at SWM, so they said they would take over and proceed with it.
“Looks like he ordered it.”
“That’s right, Vice Chairman Grens ordered the closing because he felt like he was getting rid of cheap shit.
“How’s the inside of the Triad?”
“There is a disturbing movement, but nothing to worry about. The Hwauidang and Hwaeunrak are absorbing businesses one by one, so it will be sorted out soon. That’s why.”
“You’re going to get a headache from this.”
“But you’ll feel refreshed after it’s over. The ground hardens after the rain. We just have to get up.”
As Yang A-kwan woke up smoking a cigarette, Du Mun-jeong reached out to me.
“If you need our help, feel free to contact me. If it’s your business, I’ll help you out.”
“Thank you, boss.”
“We’re thankful. Thanks to that, we don’t have to fight for power anymore, hahaha.”
I then reached out to Yang-gwan as well.
“I’ll see you next time, Mr. Yang.”
“It’s been really fun meeting you. I’ll never forget this kindness of mine.”
“Is there even such a thing as grace? It’s just that I enjoyed hanging out with like-minded people, so that’s what happened.”
“Uh-huh, sir, you have the art of making people feel good.”
Yang A-Kwan smiled as he tapped the back of my hand with the other hand he shook hands with.
“See you again.”

The night in Macau was unfamiliarly quiet.
It was because the police had been scouring the streets for several days.
Because in China, those who drop flying birds were public security.
One of those security guards, Xiaozhen, looked behind him and entered a shabby building.
Jang Min-soo was there.
“Why are you so late?”
“Are you asking because you know that the entire security force is in a riot right now? You sneak out under the pretext of an investigation, or you can’t even walk alone like this.”
“How’s Ryu?”
“How about money?”
“Here you are.”
When Jang Min-soo handed out a thick envelope, Xiaozhen roughly checked what was inside and shoved it inside the jacket.
“It seems like it was blown up after torture. A diplomat named Kang Seung-won is fucked, now.”
“No, you tortured a lieutenant or so? There’s no law here?”
“Here, the decision of the security chief is the law.”
Xiao Jian continued to speak before leaving to give advice.
“There is a Korean who was captured by Lieutenant General Ryu Zhenyu before.”
“……?”
“Did you know that rumors circulating in the hall say that this commotion is also related to that person?”
“It’s the beginning of the hour.”
“Careful. I knew it had something to do with SWM just by looking at the movement of the Chief of Police at that time, but if you move the entire security force, it’s clear that he has a connection with Chairman Stanley Wu. You’d better leave Macau. And don’t contact me again. I’m here because of the friendship I’ve built up with the Korean consulate, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it twice.”
Having finished speaking, Xiaozhen hurriedly left the place.
Jang Min-soo bit his lip while pondering the advice he had left.
“It’s grudge…”
