changing the game of war
“Is it okay to do this?”
After hanging up the phone with Siyoon, the chief of staff looked at CEO Nam Ki-seok and asked.
Nam Gi-seok, who turned the chair forward, responded by touching the fingers of both hands.
“It’s fine.”
“But I don’t know. I admit he’s a great talent… but is his worth betting the president’s career?”
“Chief Park.”
he looked up
“Do you think I came to this position because I pursued only things that were stable and certain?”
“…?”
“There is no return if you are afraid of risk.”
Nam Ki-seok gets up from his seat.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, he approaches the window.
“You know, too. This has been a slim fight from the start.”
His eyes looked down at the railroad platform in Namjong-myeon, which was under renovation.
When he was chosen as the head of this redevelopment project, many people said that Mayor Lee Young-ho had abandoned him.
When the personnel appointment came out, even Nam Ki-seok had such a thought for a moment.
Of course, Lee Young-ho knew that too much was at stake in this fight, so he must have sent the most competent person.
However, no matter how the mayor decided to appoint him, Nam Ki-seok will be responsible for the failure of the business as a result.
It can’t be helped even if it’s unreasonable and absurd.
The Holy Demon Group and the corporate state were like that.
That is why Nam Gi-seok felt such a thrill when an unexpected ‘variable’ named Wesley appeared.
In a situation where the future was obvious, he hadn’t already created a miracle twice, or three times when the gate was cleared.
‘If the odds are slim anyway.’
It would be better to bet on new possibilities.
If you don’t bet, this situation will never change.
“Losing this fight will ruin that illustrious career.”
There, he suddenly drew a smile on his lips and looked at the chief of staff.
“And I pride myself on having a pretty good eye for people.”
‘A month ahead.’
He said it was a full moon.
Within that, the direction of this business would be decided.
.
.
.
Squeaky, and the gorgeous gold-leafed door opens.
Then, an antique interior with a clean marble floor revealed.
And at the end of it, on a black nameplate placed on a high-end desk, it is written like this.
‘White Flame President Kim Seo-ah’
The vice president, Kim Cheol-jin, looked at the plaque in silence.
Before long, crackling black shoes cross the room.
His fingers brushed the bookshelf as if sweeping it.
His footsteps stopped next to Kim Seo-ah’s desk.
Behind him, a brown leather chair stands as if facing him.
At least that’s how it was in his eyes.
Looking at the chair, Cheoljin Kim’s eyes twitched.
he reached out
Once, his hand sweeps the dust off the desk and moves along the line of the corner.
And soon after, he reaches Kim Seo-ah’s leather chair.
“…”
His finger sweeping the carefully finished end.
Before long, he let out a small laugh and took a deep breath as if savoring it.
“mmm…”
It was the scent of power.
A very desirable fruit that will soon be in his hands.
A smile crept over his lips.
Kim Chul-jin had the urge to sit on this chair right away, but he swallowed it soon.
It was because the nameplate on the desk was intrusive, and it was so intrusive that I couldn’t stand it.
If I were to sit in this seat, I wanted to sit behind a plaque with three letters of my name on it.
‘Though it’s too fast than I expected.’
It was fine. It just takes a little more work. Nothing will change.
He was already thinking about the next one.
White Flame’s president was just the beginning.
Why did he bend his pride and work for the family of the head of Gangdong-gu?
He had no intention of being content with just this level of combat.
‘Kim Kang-hoon.’
It reminds me of that incompetent man who is currently serving as the mayor of Gangdong-gu.
Kim Cheol-jin imagines himself taking his place one day by pulling him down.
It was an exhilarating experience just thinking about it.
Then he remembered the cheeky service wearing sunglasses.
‘If only I could get a Magic gun…’
The mayor of Gangdong-gu will never be a dream either.
Is that all?
It should be a great power for ‘His Gangdong’ that he got in that way.
Of course, he still thinks this is his loyalty to Jiangdong.
However, that is not the current mayor’s gangdong.
In his view, he was the one who deserved to rule Jiangdong.
It was then.
At the sound of footsteps, Kim Cheol-jin turned his head toward the door.
There, he saw Nam Seung-min, head of the White Flame Security Office, who had just come up to the president’s office.
“How did this happen!”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know now, so ask!”
He frowned and raised his voice.
“Why is the lady imprisoned at her parents’ house!”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Kim Cheol-jin!!”
“Oh dear.”
Cheoljin Kim shook his head as if he had a headache.
“Nam Seung-min. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but that has nothing to do with me.”
“No relationship?”
“yes. For what reason would I do something that harms the lady I’ve been serving for a long time?”
He walked away with an incomprehensible face.
Nam Seung-min glared at him fiercely.
“The butler of the main family said so. The young lady will be staying with her family until the engagement.”
“I heard it too.”
“What do you think it is about?”
Nam Seung-min shouted, swinging his arm vigorously.
“It doesn’t mean that the things that have been done secretly by the mayor have leaked out!”
“I guess so.”
“But isn’t that you?”
“How does that lead to the conclusion that I did it?”
Cheoljin Kim clicked his tongue briefly.
There, Nam Seung-min growled.
“then! If it’s not you, are you saying that I informed the mayor?”
“No. no can it be I know better than anyone about your loyalty to my lady. But let me tell you.”
When drawing my soft smile, Kim Chul-jin said.
“Couldn’t it be someone else besides the two of us?”
“what?”
“You really think we’re the only ones who know about this? My entourage, your entourage, or I don’t know. Someone might have installed a wiretap in this room.”
His gaze slowly looks around the room and then returns to Nam Seung-min.
“I don’t think there is a district mayor or Choi Jin-seong in White Flame. Didn’t you think that one of them must have informed the mayor of this?”
“You sound funny.”
There, Nam Seung-min shouted at him.
“You see me as a fool. Who do you think will benefit the most if the young lady is imprisoned in her parents’ house?”
Eventually, the driving force.
A sad life passed by Kim Cheol-jin.
“Kim Cheol-jin, that’s you!”
“You still don’t know that’s what the traitor was after!”
He said that he scattered Nam Seung-min’s life by striking the air with all his magic power.
“Look. Suddenly, I became the acting president I didn’t want to be, and thanks to that, you started to suspect me. See how we, who have always held hands while serving the young lady, are already divided!”
Kim Chul-jin, approaching Nam Seung-min, grabbed him by the shoulders and said.
“Think about it. Was the me you’ve seen so far a petty and mean person?”
“…”
“What kind of person was the Kim Cheol-jin you knew!?”
“that’s···!”
“I’ve been bringing the family by the mayor’s side until now! That’s why I spurned the spot and followed the young lady!”
He raised his voice and let it out.
“For the girl’s will to protect those suffering from monsters! It’s because I admired that upright heart!”
Then, deliberately, the force is released again.
he muttered sadly.
“So why would I… betray the young lady?”
“Kim Cheol-jin…”
To Nam Seung-min, Kim Cheol-jin raised his eyes again and said.
“Trust me. Seungmin Nam. I will definitely catch that traitor and make him pay for it.”
Cheoljin Kim and Seungmin Nam stare at each other for a while.
Before long, it was Nam Seung-min who turned his gaze first.
“···great.”
He regained his momentum and stepped back.
“Now believe me. But···. Sooner or later you will have to prove it.”
“That’s it, that’s enough.”
“See you soon.”
Kim Cheol-jin looks at Nam Seung-min, who turns around like that, as if in pain.
But when he disappeared, his expression changed.
“You cheeky bastard…”
He muttered as he brushed my chin like that.
“Then, who should I put it on?”
In his mind, the boy prosecutor Park Jae-joon passed by.
.
.
.
On the other hand, in the vicinity of Toechon. The forward base of Dongnam Construction.
All of the employees were busy whispering at the sight of a huge self-propelled gun being suddenly towed away.
“What is that again?”
“Isn’t it like a cannon?”
“Where else did you get something like that?”
“Looks like it should be in a museum, not here.”
As soon as the tow truck stopped, Choi Si-yoon, who was riding in the front seat, lightly jumped to the floor.
Go Byeong-ho, head of security team 1, welcomes him.
He looked at the self-propelled gun again with a face that said something.
“I suddenly asked to send someone, so I did something. Where else did you find something like this?”
“I was lucky.”
“Could this be something you can use too?”
“You’ll find out soon.”
“I’ve thought about it before, but I don’t know if I really know your abilities.”
“Can you give me a warehouse? I need a place to put this guy.”
“There are a lot of empty warehouses. wait a minute.”
When Koh was called, an employee from Team 1, who was waiting not far away, nodded and went up to the tow truck.
“Thank you. Oh, and there are guys who have been caught with both sides.”
Siyoon flicked a finger behind her back.
Then, as if the bald head who got off the truck had waited, he opened the cargo compartment behind him.
There, all of them were loaded with sacks on their heads, tied up with binds.
“That one?”
“These are the raiders who were running around Gonjiam.”
There, a bald head dragged the guy in the front and made a colonel.
“Should I take it off?”
When Siyoon nodded, the bald head took off the sack on his head.
Team leader Ko frowned at Radar’s face, which soon appeared.
“This···.”
He was beaten so many times that it was difficult to recognize his face.
But skinheads and cogwheel tattoos soon caught his eye.
Team leader Go looked at Siyoon with a puzzled expression.
“Could this be the Jackal King?”
“…!”
The staff around him were surprised by his words.
“what? Jackal King?”
“That named radar?”
Siyoon nodded and wedged into it.
“right. I caught it because it happened to be plundering.”
“!!”
Those who are astonished at the way they talk, as if they picked up a cat after going for a walk.
If nothing else, it was because few of them were unaware of the Jackal King’s notoriety.
“You caught that Jackal King?”
“How?”
“I thought it was unusual from the last gate.”
“.
Go Byeong-ho shook his head as if he couldn’t stop it.
“Once you know. Jackal King is a wanted raider in Namyangju too. I’ll take responsibility and turn his recruit over to the security company.”
“I would appreciate it if you would.”
“Oh, and you’ve heard about command authority, right?”
Siyoon nodded.
His expression was calm, but he and Team Leader Ko were well aware of how unprecedented this was.
A man who was a non-regular worker, and that was just a service job, was now in the position of directing all the regular employees of the security team.
To be honest, even team leader Goh, who heard the news directly from the chief of staff, still didn’t realize it.
Maybe the other team leaders added more, not less.
However, this was clearly a directive from above.
He also came down from a higher position than CEO Nam Ki-seok.
If that’s the case, they, as mere employees, just follow it.
Team leader Go pointed to the temporary building in front of him and said.
“The security chiefs are waiting for you. Go ahead.”
Following his guidance, he entered the temporary building and headed for the special conference room.
Then, the staff guarding the door quickly saluted and immediately opened the door to the conference room and shouted,
“The general team leader is coming!!”
At the sound, the security team leaders rise from their seats all at once.
When Si-yoon entered the meeting room with the late team leader, 10 team leaders raised their hands on their chests and saluted.
“Meet the general manager.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you!”
Passing by them, the last seat in the conference room.
Siyoon, who stopped in front of the seat of honor, looked around at them and said.
“Sit down.”
Everyone, including team leader Ko, was seated quickly.
A message pops up in front of your eyes at that moment.
