Episode 30. laziness
The talks could have ended without problems(?).
In the meantime, Kang-soo waited in the convention hall’s infirmary, resealing his open wound.
Then, Megan Taylor came out and said goodbye to Prime Minister Guk Jae-hyun.
Reporters’ flashes went off without a hitch.
In the meantime, Harold approached Kang-su’s side.
“In the end, you did it right. It’s a pity that the culprit died.”
He was the one who tried to assassinate the senator.
If the culprit was uncovered, it could have been of great help in the future presidential election.
“I knew where he was.”
“how?”
“I had a tattoo of Savnak on my arm. It would be difficult for the Korean police to figure that out, though.”
It’s not about ignoring the police.
The man’s identity is a member of the worst mercenary unit that disappeared years ago.
It is no different from a terrorist or a serial killer. Dangerous, too dangerous.
Harold’s expression, which had been pleased until just now, hardened.
The river next to him was the same.
“I’ll have to talk about this separately after the situation is sorted out.”
“I see.”
“They said he was injured. Are you okay?”
“It happened a few days ago. It wasn’t healed yet, so it broke while fighting.”
“Shouldn’t you have told me beforehand if you were hurt?”
“It’s not like it’s going to be different anyway.”
The two greetings parted ways.
Bodyguards followed them and escorted them to the car.
Kang-soo rode the car separately like before and stuck behind.
[Are you really okay?]
Gong Chi-yeong had been quietly listening since the fight broke out.
It was to avoid interfering with precipitation during battle.
“I’m fine.”
[I really suffer from buying it. Rather, Savnak? What happened?]
“If things go the way they are now, it doesn’t seem like Savnak has disappeared.”
[But he said he killed them all before.]
Kangsu knew better than anyone because he did it himself.
Clearly there were no survivors of Savnak.
“Now I am not sure. let’s talk about it later You focus on decryption.”

Now, Gangsoo also had a complicated head.
The car arrived at Megan Taylor’s lodging, the High Art Hotel, and was able to finish the meeting safely.
I went back to Harold’s room and started talking.
“Are there any other signs?”
“I was even wearing a ring with cyanide capsules in it.”
Kang-soo showed the picture of the dead man’s ring that he had taken with his cell phone.
“You are professional. Are they openly doing contract work now? Well, it was no different than before.”
Savnak kills children, women, and the elderly for profit. Literally, annihilation. Nothing will sprout in their place.
“More than that, he seemed to be interested in Savnak all of a sudden. Did you know?”
“no. At first it was just curiosity, but now I feel like I need it.”
Years ago, Harold and Kangsu faced Savnak in the Battle of Congo.
At the time, it was a request from the government forces to fight against the rebels.
It was also because of the request, but because of the need in the end, he had killed the worst mercenary unit, Savnak.
“I can’t let this go quietly.”
“…Harold, don’t you guess who is behind this incident?”
Because he foresaw the danger of assassination.
“Not too long ago, there was an accident involving poisoned drinks and electrocution at the congressman’s house. It’s plausible that it’s an accident, but it’s not poison.”
“Did you not find out the source of the crime?”
It is the home of a senator, and nowhere else.
The government won’t take such a case lightly.
“Recently, half a year’s worth of CCTV has been completely erased. I don’t even know the exact date, so it’s hard to look around.”
“Even with that, it would be difficult to determine.”
“Anyway, it was clear that he was an expert, so I thought he would aim for it when he came to Korea, but he was correct. I live thanks to you.”
“So who do you think is behind it?”
Harold seemed to be pondering for a moment, then spoke with difficulty.
“Howard Mandiz, Governor of New York. He is considered to be your political rival. And he’s rumored to be running the New York underworld.”
“Is it really a rumor?”
There was no way Harold would say something without any basis.
“It’s nothing like a fait accompli. There is just no superficial evidence.”
“As expected.”
“First of all, I’ll find out if Howard Mandiz might have a relationship with Savnak. Information will be shared from time to time.”
“thank you.”
Seeing Kang-su’s attitude, Harold smiled dejectedly.
“You really are still the same. If you have a purpose, just look at it.”

Megan Taylor’s visit to Korea due to the talks ended neatly.
Kang-soo returned to JIN Entertainment after seeing that she, her aides, and bodyguards boarded the plane safely and floated.
It was to figure out the next day’s work because I hadn’t left the company for two weeks on vacation.
Oh Jae-ho of the Blue Guard stood in front of Kang-soo who entered the company lobby.
“What business are you here for?”
“yes?”
It was a company where I went to work for weeks without incident.
Suddenly team leader Oh Jae-ho blocked the way, and Kang-soo was embarrassed.
“If you have something to do in the office, you can go to the desk over there and ask for information.”
“I······.”
Kangsu took out his JIN Entertainment employee ID card from his pocket.
[Han Kang-soo]
In the photo, it was to the extent that the eyes could be seen intermittently with the messy hair.
But now Kang-soo had just returned from guarding the senator, so his hair was neatly put up.
Also, even the suit was made of a luxury item by Harold for the reason that it was because of the bodyguard’s dignity (?).
A luxurious suit and a clean look were not enough, so the people of the Blue Guard did not recognize him because his handsome face was revealed.
“…”
“Are you sure?”
I passed Jaeho Oh and got on the elevator.
Kang-soo felt that his eyes were gathering without knowing why.
Come to think of it, I had a similar feeling while protecting the senator.
I got off the second floor and entered the office.
Several managers were sitting and working.
Jerk-jerk-
Some of them turned their heads, probably because the sound of new shoes hitting the office floor. And just like in the lobby and elevator, the gaze was fixed.
The door to the head office opened and Yoo Chae-yeon poked her head out.
“Assistant Lee Hyeon-jong, the return album for the cross kids that I asked for earlier…. Who are you?”
Yoo Chae-yeon also asked without recognizing Kang-soo, who was standing there.
“I am Han Kang-soo. Why did you ask me that earlier…”
“yes? Are you Han Kang-soo?”
It was very different from Kang-soo, who suddenly appeared two weeks ago and applied for leave. People who were curious about who Kang-su was were naturally surprised.
“No, I usually go around like this… Why have you been doing that all this time?”
It was completely different from usual.
To be honest, Yoo Chae-yeon thought it was because Kang-soo did not know how to decorate at all.
Besides, since he was CEO Jin Soo-hyuk’s son, I didn’t even bother to interfere.
“There is no particular reason for that.”
“Then what about today? for a moment. This look…”
Yoo Chae-yeon searched for news on the cell phone she was holding, as if something came to her mind.
And I found a picture of Senator Megan Taylor who visited Korea this time.

Numerous photos were posted on the Ministry of Social Affairs news. I was able to find the shape of the river there.
“Is this Mr. Kangsu?”
“···Yes.”
“Come over here for a second!”
Kang-soo was led into the office by Yoo Chae-yeon.
As she said, assistant manager Lee Hyeon-jong, who was collecting materials for the comeback album, stood in an awkward position.
Yoo Chae-yeon, who entered the office, sat down on the sofa from Kang-soo.
“Is this really Mr. Kangsu?”
“you’re right.”
“why?”
“I have a request.”
“No, that’s not why you’re asking that. You’re talking about how Mr. Kangsu was in charge of guarding a senator from the United States. Does the CEO know about this?”
“You probably don’t know.”
There was no reason I had to say anything.
In response, Yoo Chae-yeon patted her chest, wondering what was so frustrating.
“You were originally acquainted with Senator Megan Taylor?”
“no. I am acquainted with his bodyguard.”
“how?”
“I cannot tell you that.”

Naturally, the details of her relationship with Harold Hudson are subject to security.
Chaeyeon Yoo caressed the nape of her neck and looked up at the ceiling.
“It’s nothing else. Megan Taylor’s nephew is Richard Taylor. I don’t know?”
“…Who is that?”
This is because they did not receive data on relatives.
“Producer Richard Taylor. We’re preparing a cross-comeback album this time, but we’re not in contact with them at all. So I did some research and found out about Megan Taylor.”
“So what do you want to say?”
Yoo Chae-yeon sat across from Kang-soo with eyes that began to glow.
“Why don’t you burn yourself for the sake of the company this time?”
“Do you really mean it?”
There was nothing that would benefit him right away.
And next to Megan Taylor was shrewd Harold Hudson as her bodyguard.
If I held out my hand first, I was worried about what kind of request he would make next.
“I beg you! In this cross album, we, no. It means the life and death of our company is at stake.”
“…are you going here?”
JIN Entertainment seemed to be able to roll just enough with Yoo So-hyun.
“With a little lie.”
“I have to check Yoo So-hyun’s schedule starting tomorrow, so…”
Yoo Chae-yeon shook her head. How can I convince Kang Soo?
I thought about money, but Kang-soo was the third generation of a conglomerate.
“Could I just ask you to contact me? If possible, please tell us just once.”
It was so desperate.
Cross is the first male idol group released by JIN, and they are already preparing for their second album, but it was because they had a lot of hardships because of the songs that didn’t fit.
“Let me just say one thing. But there is no guarantee that it will happen.”
“please!”
Kang-su came out of Yoo Chae-yeon’s office and sat down in her seat.
I could feel the eyes of the staff around me. For some reason, the well-established team leader, who was often in a fit of rage, was quiet.
In the meantime, Kang-soo told Harold about what he had just been asked for in the email he received the data from.
“I’m home······!”
From the direction of the elevator, Kim Bo-ran, who was drooping, trudged in.
“You have worked hard.”
“…you worked hard.”
Everyone accepted her greeting.
It was because Yoo So-hyun’s fifth fan meeting ended today.
“I… I came back alive again this year!”
The problem is that the fan meeting is held once a year.
Kim Bo-ran, who came inside, passed by Han Kang-soo and sat down on a chair.
“…Ah, huh?”
Kim Bo-ran, who was turning the chair round and round, found Kang-soo sitting next to him.
“who-“
“This is Han River.”
It was obvious what question would come up, so I answered it first.
“huh? Are you Mr. Kangsu?”
“I’ve been hearing only that since I came to work, so let’s just stop there. Rather, what will be Yoo So-hyun’s schedule tomorrow?”
Even though he brought up the topic of work, Kim Bo-ran confirmed that it was very strange, as if he were going to take a look at Kang-soo’s features.
“I’ve been doing this for a while now!”
“…it’s annoying.”
There is also time to set your hair.
I’m just used to wearing a suit.
“You are Yoo So-hyun’s manager. Then you should at least pay attention. I didn’t tell you before because I just didn’t know, but if you knew it would be like this, I’ll pay attention in the future!”
“Are you saying you have to go to work like this every day?”
Kang-soo thought about the resignation letter for a moment. Since Savnak’s traces were also found anyway, he didn’t feel the need to stay near his father.
“Even if it’s not completely set up, I put my hair up. Or did you cut it neatly?”
“I will think about it.”
“I’m really stubborn… First of all, tomorrow is an audition for My Neighbor Diablo. Since the audition is at 1:00, you can come and pick me up by 8:00 in the morning.”
Hawk O’Brien was staying in Korea for an extended period of time preparing for an audition and searching for filming locations.
Eventually, the audition was caught among them.
