“(I really wish you well in the future.)”
visor-. The clear sound of clinking glasses resonated in the quiet private room.

After meeting Hugo Evans, I had a good time with my family. And I didn’t forget to go on a dinner date with Elisa before leaving for Korea.
After a pleasant dinner with Elisa, on the way to the airport. She fixed my tie.
“(How do you fly as much as a pilot?)”
“(I think I’ll be busy until things get sorted out.)”
“(When will things be sorted out?)”
She tapped his shoulder and met his eyes. You might get tired of it if you watch it often, but the more you look at it, the more attractive it becomes.
‘I don’t get tired of it.’
As I kissed her forehead, Elisa’s cheeks blushed slightly.
“(Why is this all of a sudden?)”
“(Because Elisa is so pretty.)”
“(What is it? Then I want to do it too. I put on lipstick, can I do it?)”
“(Where are you going?)”
“(Where should I do it?)”
It was also attractive to smile lightly and scan my face. She grabbed my cheeks with both hands.
Her soft lips curled over hers. I closed my eyes and let her do what she did.
By the time she was out of breath, Elisha’s lips parted. She smiled and wiped my lips with her finger.
“(As expected, I like this place.)”
“(Me too.)”
“(What is it? You should be a little shy at times like this.)”
Elisa smiled and touched my shoulder.
“(How do you do good things?)”
I couldn’t hold back the laughter. He gently cupped her head with the palm of his hand.
“(Can I do it too?)”
“(of course.)”
I don’t know how many times we kissed until we got to the airport. We kissed for over 20 minutes, so I was a little embarrassed.
“(Mr. Jaegu. Take care and have a good trip.)”
Elisa followed them into the airport and saw them off.
“(Miss Elisa, be careful not to catch a cold.)”
It was winter.

Moon Ji-yeon had arrived next to the private plane. It was because I was thinking of going back to Korea anyway, so I asked her if she would go with me.
“Are you ready to go home?”
“yes.”
Thanks to her, he secured the materials Oh Hyun-seung had. There was even a gas explosion, so it’s better if you believe that the data is burned.
‘What if I don’t believe it.’
It was a material that could not be asked to find by the police.
“By the way… are you riding this?”
“Yes. I borrowed it.”
I’m thinking about whether to live or not.
Moon Ji-yeon opened her mouth and scanned the private plane. Titanium Security’s exclusive aircraft boasted a nice gray body. It was the color that symbolized titanium.
I didn’t pay much attention to the design because I didn’t have much interest in it, but no one said that the shape was strange.
My hips trembled at the thought of going home and checking my papers.
“egg plant.”
“Yes. Boss.”
Moon Ji-yeon hurriedly caught up behind me.
“Walk a little further away. Someone will misunderstand.”
“yes!”
Also the voice was good.
***
I decided to break up with Moon Ji-yeon at the airport.
“If anything happens, call me. You can call me even if something dangerous happens.”
“yes.”
“I’ll pay for the taxi, so take a taxi.”
“Thank you. I will definitely pay this debt.”
“Cheer up and live hard.”
“thank you.”
Moon Ji-yeon bowed several times to express her gratitude. It was just me who saved her, but now that HSE was in a situation where it would disintegrate, Moon Ji-yeon’s future didn’t seem so bright.
‘I’ll call you if it’s dangerous.’
But it wasn’t close enough for me to step in and organize everything. If you ask for help, you should be able to help at that time.
Because in our team, there was Han Seong-min, a stylish lawyer who worked tirelessly to defend justice on the side of the weak.
‘This is also a topic worthy of becoming an issue.’
Everything seemed to help my efforts to make Han Seong-min a member of the National Assembly. If there were more people in politics, it would be possible to prevent the country from becoming corrupted.
If money were scarce, I could use my power to make money, but I had plenty of money.
The money I had now was enough to spend all my life and die.
When I got home, Benjamin Chung was there to meet me in the yard. It was nice to see him come to meet me while I usually wait inside the house.
“how have you been doing?”
“Yes. Boss. Thanks to you, I had a good time.”
“Did you check the data?”
“I think it will be quite salty than I thought.”
He laughed and rubbed his fingers.
It was said that it was a material that could be used to extort a lot of money if threatened.
“Are there any big names?”
“There are no big fish. But there are some carp.”
“What if carp?”
“There are also golden carp.”
It seemed that there were also members of the National Assembly.
“Please explain the file you organized.”
“Yes. I’ll take you to the study.”
Although he had been away for over a week, the study was neatly maintained. The air purifier was running 24 hours a day, so there was not much dust.
Only the secret papers that were separated were a little dusty, but that part seemed to be because they hadn’t been touched.
Benjamin Chung opened the file.
“First, we divided the people photographed into two broad categories.”
“Two types?”
“They are members of HSE and the guests who met them.”
It was natural.
“And we’ve grouped the people who came as guests into two broad categories.”
He moved on to the next screen.
“Currently, there are people who are known to the public and people who are not known at all. There are 300 people who are known to the public. And among them, as many as 20 members of the National Assembly are included.”
20 people. It was a larger number than expected.
“And it seems that rich noblemen also loved HSE quite a bit. Dokgo Jin was also in it. It was nice to see his face.”
“Can you view the file?”
Benjamin Jung’s eyebrows twitched.
“You’d better not watch it, but I’ll play it if you want to.”
Wouldn’t it be better not to see…
that’s cool
Benjamin Jung was right. Not listening to such loyal subjects made my eyes rot.
‘ah. They’ll just say no.’
The leaked video of Dokgojin was a shape that could not be seen with one’s eyes open. Not only this, but the other works must be just as terrifying.
I couldn’t stand it after watching the first 20 seconds and turned it off.
“How is it?”
“Mr. Benjamin is right. I guess it would have been better not to see it.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if only one person was suffering?”
Benjamin Jeong’s expression was vague.
“You worked hard.”
“You have to work hard at what you do.”
this is professionalism I’m a little sorry.
“Are all the materials stolen from these videos?”
“There are s*x videos, and there are videos that were just taken in a room. There are also assault videos. These are organized by category.”
He told me about the files he had organized. It was reassuring because there were over 200 files.
‘Out of the 20 members of the National Assembly, 14 are from the camp of Mt. Lee.’
Five of the remaining people were Seol Gyeong-taek’s people and one member of the National Assembly from an independent background.
‘This should be useful.’
If it was a card that could defeat 14 out of 300 seats, it was quite threatening. If you’re lucky, one of these 14 people and Han Sung-min could stick together.
‘It’s hard to know who will be in which constituency until the day.’
It was not uncommon to lose an easy area at the end in order to unconditionally elect a person in power. All was not known until the date of candidacy.
But before that, there were things to know.
‘You can find out where Han Seong-min’s constituency will be. Now I have to go see Seol Gyeong-taek.’

Companies celebrating the new year were busy with establishing new business plans. There were many places where restructuring took place and the organization changed, and there were many places where personnel transfers took place to fill positions such as retirees.
I had to make good plans for the new year in January, but I was able to comfortably go through this year.
Dok-go-gap also made a proper plan for the year.
‘Take father to prison, swallow the group.’
Dokgo Jin went to prison on prostitution charges. It was thanks to Dokgo-gap’s sincere persuasion.
‘Instead of surrendering, I compromised by going into a private room.’
Last week, Dokgo-gap visited Lim Ho-jin in person. As the father-in-law of the head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, he was the man who took the lead in this investigation.
{He said he would quietly enter the prison if you provide him with the convenience of having a private room.}
{Ummm…}
{I have a big problem soon, so wouldn’t it be beneficial for both of us to sort things out at this point?}
No matter how much evidence there is, if you pull it off until the end and pretend you don’t know, the investigation becomes complicated. There was no way that the DNA of prostitution in the past would remain, and if you said that you had a relationship through your heart, not prostitution, you could drag on for several months.
However, Dokgojin did not do that.
‘You must be exhausted now.’
Since the secret weapons to deal with Yusan were stolen one after another, he had no will to fight anymore. All he wanted was for Dokgo Group to continue without collapsing.
{Can’t be cut off from my stand. You will take responsibility and lead.}
Although he received such an order, Dokgo-gab had no intention of following his instructions. Because we have already decided to change the name of the Dokgo Group on the condition that we are in the same boat as Kim Jae-gu.
Dokgo-gap held out a book to Lim Ho-jin.
{This is a good book.}
Lim Ho-jin took a closer look at the book and nodded.
{It doesn’t matter where you get it, as long as you’re willing to pay for your sins.}
Sincerity may have swayed his heart, or the bribe placed between the books may have worked.
The contract was signed, and an appointment was made to take Dokgo-jin to prison the following week.
Last week before going to jail.
While Dokgo-gap spends time in the office, Dokgo-jin must be enjoying the moment.
‘The Dokgo Group’s succession structure can be sorted out slowly, but for now, the general election is a problem…’
He planned to join hands with Kim Jae-gu and make Han Jung-taek the president. He recently came across new information about Kim Jae-goo, the agent of the Carver Company.
‘I could soon become the son-in-law of the Carver Group.’
I heard he was visiting Minneapolis for Christmas. For Americans, Christmas is a day to spend with family, so visiting that place on Christmas could be family.
‘I guessed Elisa Carver when she came all the way to Korea, but she’s a lucky guy.’
If you’re going to do a pillar book, it’s right to do a chaebol’s pillar book. I don’t know how an Asian born and raised in Korea seduced Elisa Carver, but the important thing was that he liked her.
‘I thought he was the son-in-law, not just the pants boss.’
We recently received information that the Carver Group has entered the processed food business. It was impossible to farm in Korea, but it was possible to sell Carver Group’s products in the Korean market.
It would have been understandable if Kim Jae-gu had been sent in as a person who acts as a priming water for Korea.
‘My country has strong agricultural protection.’
Tariffs were high, so it was clear that lowering the barrier would allow them to sell more products. Since Vietnam has recently started large-scale rice farming, it could be that they are trying to target South Korea, which consumes a lot of rice.
‘There is a high possibility that he will try to hold hands with Seol Kyung-taek.’
Seol Gyeong-taek and Yu-san Lee are currently considered candidates for the presidency. If the Carver Group attached to Seol Gyeong-taek and used the money to make generous promises, he could have become president.
‘I have to bring them to my side.’
But I was not in a hurry.
Seasoned entrepreneurs smelled like a ghost of nervousness. The lack of expression on his face was his own strategy to prepare for it.
A cold, rational entrepreneur. Dokgo-gap has been playing such an entrepreneur for nearly 20 years, and thanks to that, now he feels comfortable with his expressionless expression.
‘We exchanged New Year’s messages, but I can’t feel your feelings. How many times should I call them to make a meal appointment?’
In order to properly lead the business, it was more important than anything to hold hands with powerful people.
***
On the occasion of the new year, Seol Kyung-taek was busy without blinking his eyes. I tried to make an appointment, but it was difficult to make time even for 30 minutes from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm.
So, I made an appointment for 11pm.
