Since I might not be in Korea, I decided to ask Benjamin Chung.
***
Since I had to meet them in person in Korea, I got on the plane to New York.
Now it felt like Titanium Security’s private jet or my private jet.
‘This week was also difficult.’
I met Seol Gyeong-taek and had a phone call with the president of Dunesy Land. He also made a request to purchase land for the construction of Dozney Land, and also met Jung Min-jae, the second son of JJ Telecom, who was introduced to him by Dokgo-gap.
‘This happened in just a week.’
Even when I was an office worker, something big like this could only happen once a month. It was hard to keep up with so many things going back and forth all at once.
But once I took a breath.
‘I need to rest for a while.’
Sooner or later, it was clear that Mt. Lee’s men would bother to see me. You need to get some rest before you get hit by them.
‘I’m sure they won’t come after us all the way to America.’
I didn’t think it would be worth that much to me.

Yusan’s aide, Nam Il-seung, couldn’t eat because of stress.
‘I even put the name of the congressman, but I misbehaved and messed up. If you know, I’m sure you won’t let me go.”
Lee Yoo-san’s instructions were to arrange a meeting with Kim Jae-gu within the next week.
The problem was that his throat was straining without realizing it, because he had only dealt with people who shuddered at the mention of the name of Mt. Lee recently.
He lived in Hannam-dong, but he had no special job, so it was Pan who thought that if he said the name of Yu-san, he would stoop and enter.
I never dreamed that I would be beaten to the doorstep.
‘How the hell am I supposed to contact you?’
Nam Il-seung was confident in his personal connections. But the problem was elsewhere.
‘This guy has no connections.’
Until recently, it was very difficult to find anyone in contact with Jaegu Kim. I went to my alumni and asked them to call, but all the numbers came out as non-existent.
After changing my phone number, the number of people who told me about it was about to be counted on one hand. It was clear that if I asked for an introduction to someone with whom I was close to that level, I would be barred from the doorstep.
I had information that I was close to Im Hanul, the successor of Taesan Group, but it was difficult to approach Taesan because I had already approached Taesan in the alliance.
‘How to do it.’
he bit his nails
I felt like I was going to get gastritis because of the stress.

Upon arriving at the house in New York, Ha-yeon ran towards the car with Happy. The driver hurriedly stopped the vehicle.
“Dad! Dad! Dad!”
Hayeon knocked on the door with both hands.
I lowered the window and peeked out my face.
“Ha Yeon-ah. Daddy can’t get off if I’m in front.”
“Oops.”
I got out of the car after confirming that Hayeon had stepped back. The child laughed and grabbed my leg.
“Dad. Why are you so late?”
“Sorry. Our Hayeon was working hard to buy us something delicious, so we were late.”
“I’d rather be with my dad than eat something delicious…”
Ha-yeon pursed her lips.
It wasn’t wrong because I grew up under Seo Eun-chae, who couldn’t cook. Because he was a child who happily smiled even after eating my tasteless dishes.
“Sorry. What will Dad do?”
“play with me!”
“How do you like to play?”
“Umm… play fiery.”
Ha-yeon laughed.
“Because I’m going to play fiery, my dad is a villain… no, he’s a prince.”
“Let’s do it a little later.”
“Dad, are you tired?”
“Yes. I’m a little tired after a long flight.”
“Dad, you shouldn’t be tired… Let’s snore quickly.”
Ha-yeon pulled my hand with both hands.
Even though I was still young, I was proud of how he thought of me.
“Daddy, just take a nap and I’ll play with you.”
“Yeah! Daddy can’t be sick.”
I’m sorry for Ha-yeon, but I’ve never seen the Fireworks Kingdom because I’m busy with work. It was because watching a lot of female characters in dresses dancing and singing made me fall asleep.
So, using the excuse of taking a break, I started watching Dusni’s Flame Kingdom.
‘I made it better than I thought.’
Maybe because I was tired, I closed my eyes at the gentle singing voice, but I watched the movie with my eyes wide open.
Suddenly, a familiar, sweet voice filled my ears.
‘This sounds like Della Foster’s voice…’
Searching on the Internet, it turned out that Della Foster was the voice actor for Fiery and sang the song. I didn’t know about it because it was released while I was in prison.
‘I have to use the Della Poster pass, too.’
I remembered the voucher that Della Foster had carefully written down and given me. It was a pass I received after filming a music video, and when I recalled that time, my face heated up.
Flames were burning on the screen of the Flame Kingdom. Fiery, the Queen of the Flame Kingdom, won the heart of the prince she loves with her own power, despite all the slanders.
Her flame, which burned away everything, warmed the world with the power of love, and the two had a happy wedding.
‘It’s something like Dusny.’
Looking at Fiery’s splendid skills, I could understand why Ha-yeon likes Fiery. The way he handled the hot fire freely was like a butterfly.
‘The prince is like a folding screen.’
Still, he genuinely worried about Fiery, and did his best not to become a burden to her. The rest of the characters were villains or women, so the prince was the best among the male characters.
‘He gave me a good role.’
I familiarized myself with the famous lines of the characters, got up from my seat, and stretched. I had a good night’s sleep on the plane, so I didn’t have to adjust to the jet lag.
When I came out to the living room, Ha-yeon, who was watching TV with Happy in her arms, rushed over.
“Dad! Good night?”
It was one of the few honorifics Hayeon used for me.
“Yes. I slept well.”
“Then let’s play Fiery now!”
At that, my father shook his head in disgust, and my mother smiled silently.
‘The two of them must have been playing when I wasn’t there.’
When children get hooked on a game, they repeat the same thing over and over again until they get really tired of it.
“Yes. Can Dad do the prince?”
“huh!”
As Ha-yeon turned round and round, she memorized Fiery’s magic spell.
“Fireworks. Melt the iron cage surrounding the prince! Cheehee!”
Ha-yeon walked towards me with the sound of the iron bars melting.
“Prince. I’m here to save you.”
“Thank you, Queen Fiery.”
“lol.”
Ha-yeon put on a proud expression and blew her nose.
“Let’s do it again. This time when we went to defeat the bad wizard.”
“At that time, the prince isn’t with you? Dad, can you be a bad wizard?”
“No. The bad wizard is Grandpa. Grandpa!”
My father pretended to sleep.
“Ha Yeon-ah. Grandpa is sleeping?”
“already?”
“Yeah. You must be very tired.”
“Then there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Hayeon let out a deep sigh.
“Then what will Dad do?”
“No. Daddy is the prince. Happy will do the bad wizard.”
Happy is king when his name is called! king! He barked and opened his mouth. Ha-yeon grabbed both of Happy’s cheeks and stroked them.
“Happy. Can you be a bad wizard?”
“king!”
“Then stay there. Sit down.”
“king!”
Happy slumped in his seat. Now, even without compensation, he seems to be listening quite well. Ha-yeon started to memorize Fiery’s spell while spinning in place.
Glancing at the father, he narrowed his eyes and was looking at the child. When our eyes met, my father put his index finger to his lips.
‘My father must have had a hard time playing with the child at his age.’
I was happy to see you smiling though.

Thanks to Miya Hurt’s introduction to Walter Sanford, I was able to successfully review Dusnyland. I decided to introduce her to Elisha, so I told Elisha in advance.
{(Jaegu’s work is my job. Please tell me anytime.)}
Thanks to the willing permission, I invited Miya Hurt with peace of mind.
I thought it would be nice to meet at a dinner table, so I took a seat at a restaurant with a private room. Elisa and I had arrived 20 minutes earlier, so we had time to talk until she arrived.
Elisa took my hand.
“(Why is it so hard to see your face these days?)”
did you succeed?
Elisa smiled and rolled her eyes.
It was cheap to hear that it was difficult to see his face because we had decided to go out and didn’t see each other even once a week.
“(Sorry. I’m busy with work these days.)”
“(I hear you’re busy with the Dunesneyland business?)”
It was a story I had never told Elisha.
‘Is it Alec Carver?’
The chairman of Dusnyland, Walter Sanford, was acquainted with Hugo Evans. And since Hugo Evans was acquainted with Alec Carver, the story could have been passed on through them.
‘It’s not a secret anyway.’
If he wanted to hide it, he would have told him to keep it a secret.
“(It would have been nice if you had called me when I went to Dunesyland in LA.)”
“(Sorry, I didn’t think of that.)”
“(Since we’re dating now, I want you to talk about big things. I don’t want to hear about Jaegu through others.)”
Seeing her sad expression made me feel sorry for some reason.
“(I will contact you often from now on.)”
From now on, when I do a big business, I need to give Elisha a tip. Even if it wasn’t a political issue, I could talk about Dunesyland.
“(We recently invested in Angola oil fields.)”
“(Angola’s oil fields?)”
“(Yes. I decided that securing resources would be very important in the future. I plan to continue investing in the resource business.)”
“(awesome.)”
Elisa grinned.
“(Elisa, how are you these days?)”
“(It’s the same as usual. Work, exercise, sleep. Apparently I have a boyfriend, so why the same?)”
She gave off a sad smile. Even with ten mouths, there was nothing to say. It was because Elisa wasn’t in New York every time she talked about dating.
Even now, after not seeing each other for over two weeks, I was about to call Miya Hurt.
“(Do you have time tonight?)”
“(why?)”
“(I’m going to go have another drink after it’s over.)”
“(Sure.)”
Elisa laughed mischievously.
It was five minutes before the appointment time when Miya Hut arrived. She appeared in flashy clothes that stood out even from a distance.
“(Hi, I’m Miya Hurt.)”
She greeted Elisha and held out her business card. It was a handmade business card.
“(Hello. I’m Elisa Carver.)”
Elisha also handed over her business card.
Thanks to Miya Hurt’s quick introduction, there was nothing for me to do in the middle.
“(Nice to meet New York party girl Miss Carver.)”
“(hahahaha. I’m not a girl anymore.)”
“(You still look like a girl.)”
Miya Hurt, who still has a young impression, gave a public chisa. She took a sketchbook out of her bag.
“(It’s my design. I’m trying to launch a brand, can you give me some advice?)”
“(Oh my. Your work is like a child, can you show it to me?)”
“(If it’s Miss Carver, I can trust you and show you.)”
“(Then shall we take a look?)”
Elisa began to turn over Miya Hurt’s sketchbook with a serious expression.
“(This is a very unconventional design. What message did you put in this work?)”
While the two talked about their business, it became my job to order the menu.
‘I kept my promise with this.’
I was really grateful that Elisha listened to my request with a sincere attitude.
