Episode 163. Camouflage (2)
Kang-su was waiting in front of the information desk on the first floor.
At the same time, the eyes of people passing by were turned to Kang-su. It was because a photo of Kang-soo surfaced along with the article.
Click, click—
Then some reporters found such precipitation and took pictures.
In response, company guards standing around prevented the reporters from taking action.
“Photography is prohibited inside the company except for the permitted areas.”
“No, wait.”
“And the reporter has been restricted from entering since the conference just ended. So please leave.”
The guard slightly bowed his head toward the river while defeating the knights.
All of them were Blue Guard employees under Jin Soo-hyeok. They had known each other before, so now that it’s officially revealed, they’ve been properly polite.
In the meantime, Chief of Staff Song Young-do came down and stood in front of Kang-soo.
“Go up.”
I was able to get on the elevator and arrive at the office of Jin Yeon-seok, the chairman.
Jin Yeon-seok and Jin Soo-hyeok, who were in front of the desk, saw Kang-soo and greeted him.
“Welcome. Let’s sit down.”
After everyone sat down on the sofa, Jin Yeon-seok went straight to the main topic.
“A company is not something that can be created just by making it, and there are many things that are necessary in various ways to establish a foundation.”
“Perhaps.”
“You might feel uncomfortable getting involved in a company you’re going to set up, but can you tell me what you have planned?”
In the public sector, Jin Yeon-seok was thorough. At the same time, his concern for his grandson was slightly buried.
“Once we have decided on a few places we want to invest in.”
“Are you talking already?”
“Who invests in a company that doesn’t even have a signboard… … .”
Jin Yeon-seok and Jin Soo-hyuk were genuinely surprised.
At this, Kangsu calmly said.
“There are people I had a relationship with in the past. Of course, they also said they would invest after checking.”
“Can you tell me where it is?”
Kangsu pondered a little before opening his mouth.
“I’m sorry, but it will be difficult to get there.”
“Well, it’s a customer’s secret, so it can be. I understand. If so, would you accept my investment?”
Jin Yeon-seok’s expression was more serious than ever. Power came into his eyes, and he met Kang-soo.
“Do you trust me?”
“Honestly, I would be lying if I said I believed without anything.”
“I don’t want to receive too much help just because I am a family member.”
Jin Yeon-seok and Jin Soo-hyuk smiled at the firm answer.
This is because Kang-soo’s heart did not change even when the situation changed drastically.
“That’s an answer I like.”
Jin Yeon-seok held out an envelope he had set aside.
The envelope read ‘JY Holdings Corporation’.
“Open it.”
Kang-soo, who confirmed that, widened his eyes.
The document was about inheriting some of the shares of JY Holdings Corporation to Kang-su.
Jin Yeon-seok, who confirmed Kang-soo’s reaction, continued.
“It is stock that is passed on by inheritance.”
“… I am okay.”
If converted into money, at least billions are enough.
“Coincidence, Woo-kyung. and… Seonjun received all the same. Well, the stock price has fallen considerably since then, so I can’t say it’s similar.”
“… … .”
“You are not the only one receiving preferential treatment, so take it without worrying.”
Kangsu looked at the envelope and saw Jin Soo-hyeok sitting next to him.
Jin Soo-hyuk, whose eyes met, nodded calmly. meant to receive.
“first… All right.”
Jin Yeon-seok gave Jin Su-hyeok a glance at this answer.
Jin Soo-hyeok cleared his throat once and said.
“if… Did you get the office?”
“That is yet. I plan to look for it as soon as I have time.”
“If you do— there are a few buildings that the chairman recognized, would you like to take a look? This may be a bit of a perk, but… . All the other kids agreed. So I hope you will accept it.”
“ah… … .”
Kang-soo felt the atmosphere of Jin Yeon-seok excitedly expecting a lot. That alone made it clear that it was a gift from Jin Yeon-seok.
Of course, Jin Yeon-seok was the same. Knowing what Kang-su thought, he added after Jin Soo-hyeok’s words.
“I want you to accept it without burden. Of course, the process will proceed with legal inheritance so that it does not become a problem.”
“Inheritance tax would be considerable, would that be okay?”
I didn’t know much about taxes, but if it was a building, even if I simply thought about it, the price would be enormous.
Even so, Jin Yeon-seok was not taken aback.
“It’s not like I’ll wrap it up and go to the afterlife later, so whether it’s me now or later, isn’t that what it is?”
“… All right. I will.”
Jin Yeon-seok smiled at Kang-su’s consent.
“Thank you.”
“Instead, I plan not to recklessly make it big. So I hope it’s not too big.”
“do not worry.”
A little more talk about the building came and went.
Then, a message landed on Kang-soo’s cell phone.
uhhh—
“Oh, let me check for a second.”
“Yes.”
It was because it came from the cell phone that I use to keep in touch with my colleagues.
「G-AH-HKD」
It was the same cryptographic code we sent you earlier.
After confirming the message, Kang-soo’s expression became subtle.
“I have something urgent to do, so I will get up.”
“What do you mean?”
For the time being, there was no difference in the amount of precipitation.
However, seeing the urgent atmosphere, Jin Yeon-seok and Jin Soo-hyuk were a little worried.
“It is necessary to prepare the company.”
“… okay? i get it.”
Just because I knew something, I couldn’t stop the rain right away.
Kang-soo left the office as if he was unaware of the hardships of the two. I got into the car I had parked in the underground parking lot and dialed the number that the message came from on the cannon phone I had brought from Gong Chi-yeong.
The call went to an international call, and as it was connected, English came out.
[CAP?]
It was a man named Jack Cortez whom Kang-su had assigned as a subordinate when he was in the mercenary unit ‘Nightwing’.

Nickname: Mad Bear. In English, it was called Mad Bear.
It was also the man who sent the password code to Gong Chi-young’s PC room to Daepo’s phone the other day so that he could contact him.
“that’s right. And when is the enemy Cap? Call me comfortably.”
As soon as the answer was confirmed, Jack’s voice was heard.
[Once a cap is forever a cap! Rather than that, I looked through all the places I asked you to check the other day, but only traces remained.]
“All?”
[Once Moldova, Romania, Congo, Mozambique. All of Africa is like that. Judging from the minor traces, it seems to have been a mercenary camp, and it is clear that it was hurriedly withdrawn.]
The precipitation was as expected. Of course, it was also an easy prediction.
“Is there anything strange about it? Or that it was found out separately from the African side. Especially on the food supply side.”
If the mercenary camp was certain, the number of people in it would not have been small.
Of course, in order to move a significant number of people, there was no choice but to leave a trace.
[Also, I was suspicious, so I looked it up, and I found a place that was trading with the corresponding location among the food supply lines on the Congo and Egypt sides.]
“What did you find out there?”
[I only traded anonymously for cash. However, it is said that there was a tattoo of a lion’s head on the forearm of the man he traded with. According to what I heard, it looks like Savnak, but didn’t we get rid of these guys?]
There was also Jack in the battle with Savnak in Congo. Of course, there was no way he didn’t know the tattoo symbolizing Savnak.
“It is as you confirmed. You mean there’s nothing more coming out of the food supply line?”
[I’ve definitely shaken it off, but it doesn’t seem to be there anymore.]
“… rob? Didn’t it make a lot of noise?”
[Well—I didn’t just sell food, so I did a little bit.]
At Jack’s clumsy explanation, Kang-soo let out a sigh.
“Whoa—then how long do you think the European side will be confirmed?”
[There is some distance, so I will finish it within 15 days. If I find out anything more, I’ll be happy to share.]
“Please. And the activity fee will be sent to your account, so tell me more if you need more.”
[I have money too.]
“Just write. I wish you well, and be careful. If you feel suspicious, don’t bump into them and retreat unconditionally.”
[I’ll take care of that. Cap.]
After talking with Jack, Kang-soo headed to JIN Entertainment.

A few days later.
A signboard reading ‘Camo Investment’ was hung on a 7-story building near Seonjeongneung Station in Gangnam, Seoul.
The company was on the top 7th floor of the building. However, the office was empty right now.
There were only three desks, a table, and a sofa in a space of more than 70 pyeong, and only Kangsu’s desk was in use.
However, there were people who came to such a strange-looking place.
There were six men in black suits and an old man. And the old man was Wu Fei, chairman of the Chiniu Group.
Chairman Wu Fei spoke in Chinese while watching the river.
“I couldn’t have imagined it. I thought you were Chairman Jin’s grandson… … .”
Through an article reported in Korea, Chairman Wu Fei also learned the identity of Kang Su. I couldn’t help but be surprised because it was completely unexpected.
At the same time, Kang Soo sighed at his appearance and answered in Chinese just like him.
“Did you come to see it with your own two eyes?”
“Tsk tsk—could that be? After asking around, I heard that you are setting up a company.”
“Are you celebrating the opening?”
At that question, Chairman Wu Fei looked around. I only nodded my head slightly at the sight of the empty office.
“I came to congratulate you and to see if there was anything I could do to help you. It’s an investment company… Very bizarre.”
“What do you mean?”
“I thought you would rather work alone than with a company like this. Or the person I was working with at the time.”
Chairman Wu Fei saw that Kang Su’s skills were clearer and clearer than anyone else’s. So even when his own life was threatened, he offered Kang-soo a scout.
“Can’t I start a company?”
The bodyguards standing behind Chairman Wu Fei flinched at the tone full of disputes.
It wasn’t the manpower he used to guard. As they tried to step out, Chairman Wu Fei raised his hand to block them.
“Because they are new friends, I don’t know you, so understand. And it’s because I’m surprised by the company.”
“Do you have anything to say? If that’s the case, just leave.”
Kang Su was annoyed by the presence of Chairman Wu Fei in front of him. But Chairman Wu Fei didn’t care and just laughed.
“I don’t know how to invest. What if I invest right now… Around 25 million yuan?”
It was a fund close to 5 billion in Korean currency.
At this, Kangsu leaned back on the back of the sofa.
“You mean? If that’s enough, then I am.”
The money he received from incentives alone for ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞ exceeded 10 billion won.
In addition, there were funds that he originally had, and there were also stocks inherited by Jin Yeon-seok, so the funds were sufficient.
“… You must be more resourceful than I thought.”
“Not really.”
“Aren’t you still thinking of holding hands with me?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Kang’s answer was firm. At the same time, Chairman Wu Fei’s bodyguards looked at Kang Su with sharp eyes.
