Chapter Index

    [Hanjin Group Chairman’s Office]

    “Damn…!Damn!”

    A cry of exasperation is heard.

    Chairman Han Ki-hoon, unable to overcome his anger, was slamming the table.

    “I…to those bastards!!”

    Even if I close my eyes, it still comes to mind.

    “Hmm. Well then. It’s only until this month.”

    “Since the Chairman has bowed his head, our bank will also give an explanation only by this month.”

    “Everyone says so…but there is no further flexibility.”

    Just thinking about it made me shiver.

    Things that were groveling not long ago were now looking down on themselves.

    It was an unbearable humiliation for him, who was born with a silver spoon and had lived a comfortable life.

    Bowing your head is okay. It was routine even when the former chairman was alive.

    But I couldn’t bear the look in their eyes. It was a look that truly looked down on me and ignored me.

    “Damn…”

    The blow is too great.

    After calming down his anger, he calmly reviewed the situation.

    Why? Fast financial movement to this extent. Are you saying the government doesn’t approve it?

    There is one conclusion.

    It was a planned plan from the beginning.

    ‘There’s no way… Is there really no way?’

    He recalled the marriage talk he had heard before.

    The only way to deal with foreign conglomerates is with foreign conglomerates.

    They pointed to the youngest guy there.

    “Damn… If only that bitch was alive.”

    Unfortunately, there were no children left who could be used for marriage talks.

    The first guy went to jail for messing with a famous celebrity, and the second guy got into an accident on a random day and was sent abroad as if running away.

    Unfortunately, it was impossible to resolve the issue because it touched a national idol.

    The second child also couldn’t get over his ashes habit, and even when he went abroad, he became addicted to drugs and became a wreck.

    Things that are shameful even to be called a son.

    “Han Se-rin…”

    In the end, the last thing he thought of was his dead daughter.

    At the time, I just didn’t want to see it.

    It had to be that way, after Serin actually came into the house, the relatives had used it as an excuse.

    But now that he thinks about it, Serin was the most healthy of his children.

    Throughout my time in school, I was at the top of the class and had no luxury.

    At the time, even that seemed poor.

    But when I think about my sons who have accidents every day and my daughters who got married and have no contact with each other.

    Actually, this wasn’t the first time I had this thought.

    His appearance also resembled his mother, and he probably would have been really useful if Serin had been alive. Hanjin Group’s youngest daughter, graduating top of her class at a prestigious university, just has a title that could be used in countless ways.

    Regret came to my younger self, who had used it as a throwaway card, belatedly.

    In fact, not long after her daughter died, even her youngest son disowned her and left.

    That was the first time he regretted it.

    He discarded one card and eliminated all his brothers. I thought it was a gain, but it turns out I lost two cards.

    What regrets?

    Even when I thought about it, I burst into laughter.

    Normally, he wouldn’t have even thought about this. In the first place, there was no confidence that the company could defeat a foreigner named Nazar Smith.

    “This is the only way.”

    In any case, the youngest son remains on the family register.

    ‘Let’s have Director Kim kidnap my mother, using that as an excuse since my mother is a terrible person.’

    He kidnaps the woman who gave birth to his child and threatens her. Without any qualms about even such a terrible plan. He was that kind of person.

    ‘There is no time. I’ll have to cut off my finger and send it to you right away.’

    It was the moment he was about to call his secretary.

    The door suddenly opened.

    “Chairman! We’re in big trouble!”

    An urgent voice. He was the chief secretary.

    Chairman Ki-hoon Han stood up with bloodshot eyes and asked.

    “What’s going on!”

    The chief secretary shouted as if he was coughing up blood.

    “Who is breaking in now… Ugh!”

    He fell forward without being able to finish his sentence.

    The body was shaking and not even moving.

    “……!”

    Chairman Han Ki-hoon’s expression hardened as he looked down at that.

    What on earth.

    Again, again.

    Regular footsteps are heard.

    “Who, who are you…!”

    I tried to yell, but my voice came out trembling.

    No answer came back.

    Two people?

    What happened to the expenses?

    “There was no need to come.”

    It was a male voice.

    Eventually, a person crossed the door. Tall and tall. A foreign man with gray hair slicked back.

    Nazar Smith. An unknown foreign conglomerate who has turned the business world upside down as if to make a profit.

    It was him.

    “This way.”

    He bowed politely and gestured.

    Again and again.

    Light footsteps.

    Soon the seal was revealed. Golden hair that shines like the sun even under the night sky. When cold blue eyes looked at him, Han Ki-hoon was amazed, even forgetting the situation.

    She was more beautiful than any woman I had ever seen in my life.

    “Hello, how are you? Chairman Ki-hoon Han. This is Cecilia. As of today, I have been inaugurated as CEO of Hanjin Group.”

    I was momentarily stunned by her beautiful appearance, but I could never ignore what she said.

    The document handed out with those words at the end. According to the date, it was already a few hours ago, a notarized document stating that he would inherit all authority of the Hanjin Group.

    To be inaugurated as a representative with the unanimous consent of all directors without a single opposition, this is ridiculous.

    “At the same time, a motion to dismiss Chairman Han as CEO was also passed.”

    “……! What…!”

    “I don’t have anything to say at length.”

    She, who had been showing off her politeness, hardened her expression.

    “In short, get out of the room. Mr. Ki-Hoon Han.”

    “Yes… four years!!!”

    Han Ki-hoon shouted. I was overwhelmed with a sense of intimidation, but my anger surpassed my reason.

    “Ah. This is my responsibility.”

    “As you wish.”

    The man took a step forward.

    Even though it’s a slow gait, there’s something about it.

    I got goosebumps.

    “Our lady is so kind. I do it with all my heart. This is a heart that has been held tightly. So please don’t hesitate.”

    The man’s mouth moved.

    [Blinding$#@.]

    [Cruciatus#@$.]

    [curse$$#.]

    Languages that are difficult to understand are heard one after another.

    “Dae, what on earth…”

    I felt a sharp pain in my eardrums.

    “Quaaaagh!”

    Is this what it would feel like if blood was gushing out from all over your body?

    It takes a while for the feeling to return.

    In his blurred vision, there was a woman watching his reaction.

    “Do… Help.”

    I let it out with difficulty, and my voice came back.

    “I’ll give you a gift.”

    It was a beautiful voice that could be heard clearly even in dark ears.

    I wanted to scream, “What the fuck are you talking about?”, but after the next words, my consciousness faded. My head felt like it was going to explode.

    “Continuing to suffer without knowing the reason, that wouldn’t be bad either, right? Every time you meet me, you will feel a pain worse than death.”

    Laughter was heard.

    There was malice in that laughter, like a siren’s song.

    “Obliviate.”

    An unknown language was heard again.

    “Goodbye, how many deaths will you experience?”

    That was the last battle in darkness.

    *

    -This is breaking news! The chairman of Hanjin Group, Ki-Hoon Han, who has long been famous for various scandals, is shocking as all of the corruption and scandals that were only rumored are revealed to be true.

    – That’s right. As a man, I’m really embarrassed. Just the known facts are really…

    [Han Ki-hoon, who was famous as a celebrity from a young age due to his handsome appearance, was found to have committed various serious crimes that are difficult to mention, including illegal prostitution…]

    [The prosecutor said the suspect, Ki-hoon Han, was trying to escape…]

    In the middle of the city, citizens clicked their tongues as they heard the news coming from the screen, but kept busy walking. No matter where I went, news about former Chairman Ki-hoon Han was being reported.

    “You really are a piece of trash.”

    “That’s right. He even messed with celebrities younger than his daughter.”

    “You must have a lot of money anyway, you probably went abroad.”

    The ugly truth about the second generation of chaebols. There were some people who expressed their opinions at the news, and others who shook their heads as they passed by.

    I flinch.

    While everyone was moving on, dismissing it as an insignificant news story, only one person was reacting to each sound.

    [Former Chairman Ki-Hoon Han was stripped of his position as chairman and his whereabouts are unknown. I heard that the debt he owes alone is astronomical.]

    [Still, I’m so glad, right?]

    It was a broadcast where two handsome and beautiful hosts chatted lightly.

    [That’s right! It is said that CEO Nazar repaid all the group’s debt.]

    [Thanks to this, the employees also avoided unemployment, which is really fortunate.]

    [That’s right. If not, what would this be? Wouldn’t an economic collapse have occurred? By the way, Ayoung, didn’t you say before that you like people like Chairman Han Ki-hoon?]

    [Hey! It’s just lip service! Who would like that type of human talk!]

    [Hahaha. That’s right!]

    It was a major incident that could have led to large-scale unemployment, but it ended with one article: the dismissal and disappearance of the Hanjin Group chairman.

    Massive unemployment. A snowball that could roll in the aftermath. Many families were left behind, but the reality was peaceful.

    This is a story that ends with one criminal disappearing.

    Tuk.

    Shoulders collide. The skinny body of an old man falls to the floor helplessly.

    “Mr. Ai!Who are you!”

    The little girl opened her eyes wide.

    In front of him, a man was seen slumped over. He looked shabby, as if he hadn’t washed for several days.

    “Hey, I feel like crap, let’s just go.”

    The man who seemed to be a friend also looked down at the other person and frowned. Even though there was a distance, there was a bad smell.

    He was a man with wide-eyed eyes that made you feel bad just by looking at him. It felt like you would be cursed just by being with him.

    “Eight! You’re out of luck.”

    He walked quickly as if he saw something he couldn’t see.

    Han Ki-hoon, who was hit with a spit, wanted to scream, but no voice came out.

    My head hurt like it was going to explode. I couldn’t remember anything, why I was like this. My vision was also strange. The whole world seemed distorted like a broken TV.

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself a beggar and a wanted criminal.

    I wanted to scream.

    But no matter how much I squeezed, no voice came out.

    “…”

    Even though I tried to shout, all that came out of my mouth was a small whistling sound that sounded like the air had been knocked out.

    ‘What did I do wrong?’

    The moment I inadvertently lament, my head starts ringing, and as if it’s a signal, I hear curse words.

    ‘die.’

    ‘It’s because of you.’

    ‘Why are you still alive?’

    It was a voice that seemed to come from hell, a voice that would make one go crazy just by hearing it.

    After suffering for a while, the voice stopped, and a beautiful voice, different from before, was heard.

    It was like the voice of a goddess, like salvation from hell, but the words were not much different from the words of a curse.

    ‘That’s it. Think about what you did wrong and regret it for the rest of your life. Do you know anything?’

    I couldn’t hear the backstory, but if you look at the nuance.

    [If you reflect on yourself, will you forgive me?]

    You never know.

    He continued to think as if grasping at straws.

    but.

    No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t figure it out.
