When people say that momentum is important, they usually treat it as an outdated story, wondering when the theory of perseverance came from, but surprisingly, this thing called momentum is quite important.

No matter what you do, if you have good momentum, you will end up with results that exceed what you imagined.

Conversely, what if the momentum has been lost?

No matter what you do, you can’t help but become ambiguous.

From what I saw, the situation surrounding me and the Party Soso was exactly like that.

This is just my hypothesis, but if it is true that Tang Soso’s father, that is, Tang Deung, is a fool, then it is honestly obvious that this is the reason that Tang Deung ordered someone to call me to the headquarters building.

At the very least, he was planning to use the fact that I met someone from Mo Yong-se’s family as an excuse to put pressure on me.

By putting pressure on me like that, his ultimate goal would have been to get me to step down from my position as Tang Soso’s fiancé.

It must have been like that originally… but it went astray when I suddenly took out the ‘sample’.

From the perspective of those with a researcher nature, it was something that could never be overlooked because they were on the mound.

And as a result… the atmosphere that seemed to be pressuring me has long since disappeared.

But in a situation like that, you’re putting pressure on me again?

Wouldn’t that be a bit difficult for those who are called iron-faced people?

Of course, if the monarch is an idiot and is the emperor within the huge kingdom of the Sacheon Group, he could just close his eyes and commit…

‘If I do that, my daughter will notice.’

The daughter-in-law doesn’t pay attention to the daughter-in-law?

That was impossible.

Sure enough, Tang Deung could not bear to continue speaking due to Tang Soso’s actions, which did not miss the opportunity that Tang Deung had revealed and quickly pushed towards him.

Well, I guess so.

If I were to change my words now, I would have to risk losing face in front of my daughter.

Even if he behaves servilely to make a living outside, he is a foolish creature who wants to be a respectable father in front of his daughter.

According to what I picked up somewhere, that’s true, but why bother changing it now?

As soon as he thought that, Dangdeung sighed and closed his eyes tightly.

“···It is a tradition and rule passed down from generation to generation in the family, so what can you do?”

But then… he said words that were practically like permission.

No, permission is given so easily…?

From the moment Dangsoso asked me to go see my father, I thought it wouldn’t be easy…

Is it because I got what I wanted much easier than I expected?

Bewilderment preceded joy.

Thanks to that, it must have been a moment when I couldn’t even think about how to react.

Dangdeung, who had closed his eyes tightly for a moment like someone who has to say something he really didn’t want to say, opened his eyes again.

But then… he started sending very suspicious glances towards the three Tang brothers, who seemed as surprised as I was.

‘Wait a minute, that can’t be…’

A glance whose meaning I cannot immediately understand.

As I unconsciously tilted my head to the side… a kind of determination appeared on the faces of the three Danga brothers who had heard the signal sent by their father.

The person who came forward representing the three brothers was Cheongpung, the eldest.

“What do you mean by that? father. I am against it.”

“···It’s a family tradition.”

“Are you saying that it is a tradition and must be followed unconditionally? In this day and age, how many places keep that kind of thing…”

“So we must protect ourselves even more.”

What followed behind the voice, which at first glance sounded stern, was a rather cliché-like admonition that although a Tang family is a Tang family even if it loses its home in Sacheon, a Tang family that has lost its family spirit cannot be a Tang family.

At first glance, the plot appears to be a confrontation between the father, who reluctantly gave permission in order to preserve the tradition passed down through the family, and the son, who did not understand the father’s decision.

Just looking at it, it looks like the two are aiming at each other… but the reality was different.

Because I was the one who was actually aiming at both the party and the party.

“My father may think so, but I think differently. Isn’t this bringing in an outsider into the family? I don’t think it’s an issue decided so easily.”

Look at it as evidence.

Looking at Tang Cheong-pung’s remarks just now, it seems like he is resisting the dogmatism of his father, the head of the family, but in reality, he is criticizing me, thinking that I am a guy who doesn’t even know where I am from.

The problem was that Tang Cheongpung was not the only one who took action in that way.

The older brother opened the gun, but that didn’t mean he had any intention of just watching with both hands.

“I think so too. Father.”

“Well, you definitely need to be careful when deciding to bring someone into the family. Wouldn’t it be even more so if the origin was unknown?”

The second and third immediately started providing support fire.

What if there is only one person speaking?

That’s just a personal opinion.

But what if there are more than one person saying the same thing, and then it becomes two, and then two people become three?

What if more than half of the people start saying the same thing?

Their voices gradually begin to gain power, and what they say becomes ‘public opinion’ rather than individual claims.

And right now, there are only six people here, including me.

With three of them gathering their opinions in that way, no matter how powerful they were as the head of the family and the group’s chairman, couldn’t they just blindly carry out their wishes?

“Umm…!”

Something sour and vague came out of Dandeung’s mouth.

A sound that, although slightly, conveys a sign of discomfort with the current situation.

I was secretly impressed when I saw Dangdeung doing that so naturally.

From my perspective, it was worth it because if I had just seen that image without knowing the context, I would have been fooled.

He thought he couldn’t do it on his own, so he immediately got his subordinates (sons) to beat him up and keep me in check.

Is it necessary to have this level of judgment and boldness as a basis to serve as the leader of a group as large as Sacheon Group?

While I was thinking this in my heart, the three Tang brothers, who heard the muttering voice that came out of Tang Teng’s mouth, began to increase their momentum even more, like professional wrestlers who discovered their enemy’s weakness.

“Isn’t it our family’s problem, regardless of family origin?”

“I don’t think this is an issue that should be concluded like this, but I think we need to have a serious discussion with the whole family at least once.”

“Well… I agree with what you guys said.”

Is this what Cerberus, the three-headed dog called the sentinel of hell, looks like when dealing with enemies?

As if to prove that the three of them are not brothers for nothing.

It just all came together nicely.

“Tsk···.”

From the party’s point of view, I thought the game was over as my father, who could be said to be the most difficult opponent, had given me permission, but I couldn’t believe that my brothers, who were competing for the position of chairman, would rise up and oppose me like this. Didn’t I know it was going to happen?

Dang So-so, who was sitting next to me, clicked his tongue lightly, as if he was not happy with how things that he thought were over were getting more and more complicated.

Of course, that didn’t mean she would carelessly jump into it or anything like that.

That’s because there was no reason to jump in.

At this moment, if we say that the party’s cause is the only one worth promoting, it’s family tradition, and that’s because the party and others have already used it a long time ago.

But holding all the sweet water in your hand and jumping into it?

There was a 99.9% chance that, rather than suppressing the other party with your own logic, you would actually be overwhelmed.

“···It’s a bit different from what I talked about before I came here.”

Tell me what to do.

Dang So-so and I had already tried some absurd simulations on the plane.

And as a result of running the simulation in that way, it was concluded that her brothers would not be opposed to this marriage, even if they were her father and head of the family.

Currently, she was the only one among the direct descendants of the Tang family who was single, and as such, marriage could in some ways play the role of a joker in the succession competition, so she welcomed the union with me, who clearly had only a body that had learned martial arts to an appropriate level. The logic of the party was that they would welcome it and there would be no way to oppose it…

“Of course.”

You obviously said that, but now you think it’s natural…?

“The assumption we made on the plane at that time did not include you disclosing the ‘sample’ in this way.”

Well… is it really because of that?

When I saw it, it just seemed like it was because the daughter was a fool and the younger brother was a fool…

However, I didn’t bother to say those words out loud.

Judging by Dangsoso’s expression, it seemed very unlikely that he would take it at face value even if I whispered the truth.

Rather than accepting the truth, wouldn’t they deny it and say no to nonsense?

‘no···.’

My father is a fool for my daughter, and all my brothers are fools for my younger brother, but my younger brother is wary of my father and brothers and finds it difficult…

This is a really messed up family relationship.
