“(Then I’ll only expect half.)”
“(I’ll satisfy you if it’s half.)”
Elisa smiled and crossed her arms. It was hot, but I felt good.
“(song.)”
It was so nice to see you after a long time, I even forgot to use the eyes of trust.
‘I can use it later in the evening.’
I reserved a restaurant with a view overlooking Hampton Beach, and I hope Elisa likes it.
“(I will serve you. Queen.)”
“(Then Jaegu is the king?)”
“(Does that happen?)”
“(Sure.)”
Elisa laughed and climbed into the car.
We had a lot to talk about since we hadn’t seen each other in a long time. On the way to Long Island Beach, she talked nonstop.
“(I think we can take a vacation in the second week of August. If it’s okay, can we go to a small island?)”
“(Good.)”
Thanks for recommending it in the first place.
“(Do you know of any good islands?)”
“(How about Hawaii?)”
“(Hawaii is good.)”
I thought it would be nice to go with Ha-yeon, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
“(Ha-yeon is going too.)”
“(really?)”
“(It would be better if Hayeon had someone to play with, but how about bringing her parents too?)”
It was difficult to ask for that.
Rather, I decided to take Seo Kang-jae. Because he was a good security guard and took good care of Ha-yeon.
‘Because I’m a bodyguard and babysitter, I’ll take care of some bonuses.’
“(Don’t overdo it. But if it’s okay with Elisa, can I bring Ha-yeon?)”
“(Sure.)”
Thank you so much.
“(Ah, Mr. Jaegu.)”
Elisa whispered in my ear.
“(This time I wore a swimsuit more carefully.)”
“(Swimsuit?)”
“(To expect.)”
She smiled.
don’t overdo it
After unpacking at the hotel, we decided to go to the beach. It was very convenient to get a sunbed on the private beach for a fee. I made a reservation for four with a wide one.
‘Because the bodyguards also need to be under a parasol so they won’t collapse.’
They were the ones to protect us. So health care was basic.
I just had to change into a swimsuit, so the preparations were over early. Elisha had a lot to care about, so it took a long time.
‘What kind of swimsuit did you put on carefully?’
On the last trip, Hayeon was with me, so I wore a normal swimsuit. But this time, I was looking forward to seeing a swimsuit that was as exciting as she told me to look forward to.
I was sitting on the sofa and imagining what kind of swimsuit it would be when I heard Elisa’s voice.
“(Jaegu. I’m ready.)”
Elisa was wearing a long robe.
“(how is it?)”
She smiled and spun around.
I was honestly a bit disappointed. But I couldn’t say straight away.
“(You are pretty.)”
Still, it was pretty. It was clear that Elisha would look pretty even in rags.
Ellie slowly walked gracefully, shaking her pelvis from side to side as if she were doing a fashion show.
“(Voila!)”
She opened her robes and spread them like wings. When the micro bikini that only covered the area was revealed, I quickly turned my head away, not knowing where to put my eyes.
It was a risky swimsuit that covered only the necessary areas. I felt like I was going to have a nosebleed from the blood rushing to my head.
“(hmm… that’s irritating.)”
It was hotter than expected. There was only a finger-thick thread woven over Elisa’s voluptuous body.
“(Shall we go to the beach with this?)”
Are you leaving like this? If it happened in Korea, it was a swimsuit that would go up on social media and make a fuss.
Elisa ran as lightly as a butterfly and whispered.
“(Or should I only show it to Mr. Jaegu?)”
She smiled teasingly.
But it didn’t feel bad.
“(Me… show it only to me.)”
It’s not that your breathing has become too rough, is it? My mind went blank and I felt like I had forgotten how to breathe.
Her soft lips brushed my earlobes.
“(great.)”
Goosebumps ran through her body as her soft breath touched the nape of her neck.
‘ruined.’
I guess I won’t be able to go to the beach today.

Elisa’s reliability was 96%.
‘It’s higher than I thought.’
higher than that of their parents. He must have thought that he would get married because he trusted me that much, but that made him feel better.
My socks still hurt from spending hot days without a break for two days.
‘I need to do some exercise.’
Still, it was a good memory to remember. Walking along the beautiful beach with her, feeding each other delicious cocktails under the wonderful lighting, and her provocative micro bikini.
The cell phone photo album contained pictures she had taken herself. Just looking at it made my face feel hot.
I didn’t have a set routine, which was fine, but Elisa went to work. I was worried about her stamina.
{(Elisa. Did you go to work well?)}
{(Of course. It’s a bit difficult though.)}
An emoticon with a smiling face flew by.
{(If it’s hard, can I give you a ride on the way home from work later?)}
{(Today it ends late because of overdue work. Jae-goo will be busy too, don’t mind.)}
Then you should take more care of it.
Ha-yeon was eagerly waiting for me in Korea, so I didn’t think I would be able to stay for long.
So I wanted to do my best while I was there.
{(Call me when you’re done.)}
I wanted to see her face.
***
Yu-san realized.
He was cornered and there was no way out now.
‘Genga has to step back here.’
Although the Coalition’s members did not betray him, they were slow to respond. It was clear that it was shaking.
The fact that the beings with whom he shared the deepest secrets became distant meant his defeat.
Suddenly the whole world seemed to bite him.
‘Should I explode it and go into hellfire together? Or should I quietly withdraw from here and promise the next time.’
Next.
But one thing was certain.
That if you go to prison for murder, you can’t run for president again. Even though political or economic masters have served as president, a murder master has never served as president.
Of course, there were no such cases, but there was no precedent in which the president became president after the fact was revealed. He looked at the family picture.
‘f*cking sons.’
He wanted to follow him into politics, but his sons were blinded by money and started businesses. There were several times when I used the power of the coalition to support them.
‘I wish I had become a politician before stepping down from the front lines.’
But the hardest thing in the world was child farming. Even if he could do anything else as he wished, he couldn’t do as he pleased with his children.
Because I couldn’t kill him for not listening.
Yusan Lee fiddled with his notebook. It contained its own history. From the time he first ran for Congress until now, there were notes on the weaknesses of the people he had been with and the location of the file containing their weaknesses. It was his last bastion.
‘Shall I explode? Should I or not?’
If they exploded, they would all fall together.
It was clear that even the opportunity to be pardoned as a special envoy on Liberation Day would disappear. So, I decided to hide my weaknesses.
He sealed the notebook well and put it in a secret safe on the basement floor.
‘Let’s wait for two years.’
It was time to negotiate on the premise that Ryu Kwang-heon would be released as a special envoy on Liberation Day if he became president.
I’d bent over for a purpose many times, but this was the first time I’d ever fully bowed down to someone. He moved his limp fingers and called the president.
＜Because the connection is not established, it will be connected to the voice mail after a beep sound. Call charges apply after connection. beep-.＞
“This is Yusan Lee. Please call me when you have time to discuss your son.”
Seeing Ryu Gwang-heon, who grew up as a proper politician, he was infinitely envious of the president.

[Lee Yu-san, former lawmaker. Resignation of party leader. “I’m sorry for hurting the party.”]
Lee Yoo-san retired more blandly than I thought.
‘There must have been an insider transaction.’
It would be advantageous for me to fight more here, but it would not be from the enemy’s point of view. If you take a step back now, you will be able to promise the next time.
I don’t know what’s next because he’s marked as a murderer, but he didn’t choose to commit suicide.
‘It would have been more fun if it had self-destructed.’
I was satisfied enough even now.
Because I was able to remove the dangers that threatened my family. I still shudder when I think of the shooting at a New York department store.
‘I’ll have to get revenge on Lim Ho-jin and Yoo Ju-seong as well.’
Since the two were directly involved in the incident, it could not go on like this. Since the crime data related to them were also secured, I thought that I should announce it sooner or later when Mt. Lee is sorted out.
***
After a long walk, the monotonous daily life began again. Whenever I had time, I went back and forth between New York and Korea to spend time with my family and Elisa.
I didn’t forget to meet Lim Cheol-hyun in Silicon Valley to check his reliability.
[Reliability 91%]
[1 person remaining]
Life was unraveling like a sail in a fair wind.
‘Up to the special reward, 11 people. Where should I fill the rest of the staff?’
A month and a half had passed since he received the quest, so there was still plenty of time left. Even so, I decided to do my best because I couldn’t fail at all.
It’s been a while since I met Hugo Evans.
“(Mr. Kim. Long time no see.)”
“(Mr. Evans. Thank you for introducing me to good people.)”
“(That’s all I can do.)”
He was already past retirement age, but he was still full of energy and vitality. He looked at me with a satisfied smile.
“(I haven’t been able to post results lately, but I’ll try to secure new resources soon.)”
“(I believe.)”
There was no rush.
“(I have now created a company called JG Company. Now that I have a company, I think it will be a little easier to sign a contract.)”
“(If it’s JG Company, are these Mr. Kim’s initials?)”
“(you’re right.)”
handed over a business card.
“(If you wish, I will register you as an outside director.)”
“(hahahaha. That’s good. Then you become a former sales executive?)”
“(Yes.)”
It was not difficult to register the name.
It was obvious that it would be easier to deal with the expenses. The bribe could not be settled, but it was better to settle the cost of the business.
Because paying taxes faithfully did not mean that I would pay taxes that I did not have to pay.
Hugo Evans cherished my business card.
“(Of all the people I have worked with, Mr. Kim is the most comfortable. I would like to continue working with him in the future.)”
“(Please take good care of me.)”
It was natural that it was good because they paid enough activity expenses without taking a look at sales performance. But the job entrusted to Hugo Evans would be difficult to achieve without him, so it was worth the investment.
“(I plan to go to Iraq soon.)”
“(What are you going to Iraq for?)”
“(I heard a rumor that a new oil field was discovered in Iraq, so I’m trying to confirm the facts.)”
“(Is the security okay in Iraq?)”
“(I think we need to talk to the government about that too.)”
It was natural that it took a lot of work and a long time to go and check each one. If you just wait for Jindeuk, he will occasionally ask you for a good contract.
“(Wouldn’t it be dangerous?)”
“(It’s where everyone lives, but it’s okay.)”
“(Be sure to go with the bodyguard.)”
Still, I was concerned.
