04. As long as it’s not me

Sodom and Gomorrah, the dark shadow of K-entertainment

Recently, Lee Na-eun, a prosecutor in the 3rd criminal division of Incheon Central District Prosecutors’ Office, who is considered the most upright and righteous person in the judiciary of the Republic of Korea, was involved in a terrible incident. Fortunately, she only suffered minor injuries, but the incident was a shocking tragedy in which one administrative officer, two investigators, and one clerk lost their lives.

In an interview with our newspaper after the incident, Prosecutor Lee Na-eun said that despite the great shock, she did not waver in her determination to fight for justice to the end.

The place where she was murdered is the center of K-entertainment, commonly called ‘Entertainment Street’. This is where many large agencies are located, and it is a holy place that those who dream of being in the entertainment industry want to visit at least once. However, while she was investigating there, an unexpected disaster occurred.

The case that Prosecutor Lee Na-eun was investigating was the problem of illegal sexual bribery and prostitution rampant in the entertainment industry. Not only trainees but also famous celebrities who had already debuted were being dragged around by the ugly demands of high-ranking officials who used their success as bait. In this area, such criminal acts were being carried out openly, and the scale and organization were beyond imagination. The reality hidden behind the glamorous exterior of K-entertainment is reminiscent of the corruption of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Prosecutor Lee Na-eun made it clear that despite numerous difficulties, she will fight to achieve justice to the end, overcoming threats and obstacles that block her path.

– Shin Mirae Ilbo, Reporter Seo Hyun-joo

Suah read the article in a businesslike voice.

At first glance, it looks like it was written by reporter Yoon Ha-young, who still hasn’t come to her senses, but that’s an article I asked Seo Hyun-joo to write.

“Hmm. That’s right. Just upload it as is.”

“Yes, Master.”

The reason I am posting this article is for a justification.

Since I decided to use Ina Eun as my puppet and use her, I need to give her a reason for the losses her team suffered.

As the article says, four members of the inspection team were separated, but no one would just say, “Oh, that’s how it is,” and let it go. Even if it’s the Demon World.

Of course, if Rainbow Miracle suffers damage because of this, it’s a total bust, so I plan to throw a bomb at another agency that has nothing to do with me.

Since most agencies are operating a sexual bribery program and even have professional teams, this would be a nuclear bomb.

During that time, I will launch ‘Koryo Enter’, a 100% pure entertainment company with absolutely no sexual bribery, and debut LUMINA.

How can people believe that?

Prosecutor Lee Na-eun, the hero who exposed sexual bribery in the entertainment industry, will swear her honor and vouch for it. Korea Entertainment is a planning company that does not engage in sexual bribery.

And it won’t actually happen. Why would you give my collection to someone else? Are you crazy?

“What is your implant usage history?”

“It was handled cleanly. Eunmi said she was a specialist in that area. I was surprised too.”

“Hmm.”

Well, he’s a spy…

That too from the National Intelligence Service… .

Now that I think about it, I need to touch this one too.

What was the purpose in the first place? How big of a picture are you drawing that someone with a ‘patriotic’ trait would manipulate the prosecution office’s database?

He doesn’t even hesitate to kill.

‘Could it be a Black Agent? There’s no way Black Agents only work overseas.’

“I didn’t know you had that ability? Good job, Seo Eun-mi.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Seo Eun-mi smiled brightly as always and bowed.

Suddenly, I become curious about the real face behind that mask.

“What will happen to Inspector Lee Na-eun? Is she on vacation for the time being?”

“If that’s what you want, then it will happen. However, if a case with so many deaths on the prosecution side gets covered by the media, the prosecution can’t just sit still. Even for the sake of their reputation. Public opinion will be in uproar. Then, this time, there’s a chance that they’ll support Prosecutor Lee Na-eun.”

“What does that mean?”

“You may be asked to direct a special investigation.”

“Oh… . Special prosecutor… . But that has to go to the National Assembly.”

“Yes? No. The Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office can designate a special prosecutor.”

“Oh, really?”

“When a matter is serious and has significant repercussions, or when a conflict of interest is expected, an independent investigative agency or special prosecutor may be established in accordance with the procedures of each Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.”

It’s different from the reality before and after the ice age.

Even if you don’t know about such trivial things, they don’t appear in the game or the settings book, so there’s nothing you can do about it.

‘But, for the sake of fairness and independence, the National Assembly appoints a special prosecutor, but if the prosecution appoints it… Is that really a special prosecutor?’

It is a world view that is distorted in many ways.

Well, it’s called the Demon World for nothing.

“If Ina Eun becomes a special prosecutor, it will be much easier to carry out the master’s will.”

Anyway, it’s not bad for me.

“Then blow some air in that direction.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Oh, and that reporter Yoon Ha-young.”

“Should I process it?”

“No. If Inaeun Lee becomes a special prosecutor, put her there.”

“Ah.”

“I’ll tease my competitors the hardest. Deal with them later.”

“Okay.”

What if I sell Rainbow Miracle or something related to me?

Prosecutor Ina Eun will stop that.

“Then let’s deal with that… . How’s the investment status? I think there should be something up by now.”

Today’s date is September 7th.

It’s already been two weeks, so I’m starting to get the hang of it.

“Uh… . That’s… .”

Suah’s words trailed off.

It seemed like he was slightly embarrassed.

“Why?”

“Surprisingly, it is profitable… .”

“Why is that surprising? Are you going to get in trouble?”

“Ah, no… . But… .”

“Huh.”

This guy really thinks I’ve been investing carelessly.

“Report it.”

“Ahem, yes.”

After listening to her report, take note of the changes and then give instructions.

“Is that the company Real Productions? The one that’s releasing a game this time.”

“Yes, we are a week away from launch.”

What? It’s so early?

It’s much faster than I thought.

“Hmm… . Put it up for sale for about 300,000 won.”

“Yes? The current stock price is 8,000 won?”

“Yeah. It’ll go up that much.”

“I… . That… . The game that comes out of Real Production was not so good in the CBT evaluation and OBT… . In the first place, it is rare for the stock price of a game company to rise that much… .”

“You don’t trust me?”

“… .”

She was silent for a long time.

Of course, her point is factual.

No matter how successful a game is, it’s generally unreasonable to pay between 8,000 won and 300,000 won.

But what if there were all these operational forces and the legendary gullibility of the company’s representatives there?

‘After the unexpected hit, he caught the attention of gamers around the world by joking about making a perfect immersive virtual reality sex game. But when the stock price actually went up, he sold it and ran away. It hit 330,000 won and started to plummet right away. Just get out before that.’

Because so many people were affected by this incident, there is even a subquest asking you to kill the founder of Real Production.

“I told you it would go up several times. Everything in the portfolio will go up like that.”

“I see… .”

“Oh, right. Take out the rest and put them into real production.”

I wasn’t sure which one would come first, so I put them all in for now.

If you have a crush, you have to force it in.

“chi, seven hundred and fifty billion like this… .”

She carried out the order with tears in her eyes.

The kid named #1 Jjotjip still doesn’t have faith in me.

“Is prison going well?”

“Ugh… . Yes. The correctional work execution plan is all set, and the remaining things are the land acquisition plan and the prison construction plan. We are still looking for land that can be secured. ”

“It’s a plan, so it doesn’t have to have land right away. You can’t say, “We’re going to kill gangsters to secure land and build a prison for 500 inmates there,” right?”

“… Yes.”

Tch.

Yeah, well, even if we rush, it won’t happen in the near future anyway… .

Not only will the funds be lacking, the construction time alone will take six months.

“Yeah. Keep looking for land. This time, when I secure the funds, I’m going to hire mercenaries in earnest, so I’m looking into that too.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t be lazy and assume that your investment will fail.”

“Oh, that’s not right, Master… .”

I stretched as I watched her diligently taking notes.

As I have a lot of work to do, I have quite a lot of morning reports to listen to as soon as I wake up.

It’s not even over.

“The rest… . Let’s go and do it.”

“Yes, Master.”

Goryeo Enter has selected candidates for its new office in Gangwha.

Today I’m going to look at them and, if possible, sign a contract.

+++

Pyongyang. Kumsusan Palace of the Sun.

Go Young-man, who looked like he was in his early 30s but was actually well into his 70s, looked at the man who came in as the heavy door opened.

The man bowed 90 degrees in greeting and then quickly walked towards him.

“The following is the history of the young master you mentioned.”

He bows 90 degrees again, politely handing over the documents.

Go Young-man brought the documents and looked through them without even saying thank you for your hard work.

“Investment?”

“Yes. After purchasing a house worth 16 billion won with Goryeo Entertainment’s cash, you are making an investment of 75 billion won.”

“Hmm.”

He looked through the documents with a displeased expression.

“What does that guy know to invest?”

“… .”

Still, it wasn’t all disappointing.

After inheriting Goryeo Entertainment, his actions, although centered on womanizing, were aimed at running the company and pursuing profits.

and,

“… Quitting drugs?”

“Yes. Mr. Gomuyeol has not taken any medicine since August 24th, the day of the inheritance.”

“… .”

That was really something to be acknowledged.

It is difficult for humans to quit smoking, so how much harder would it be to quit drugs? This is not something that can be done with human mental power.

“Hmm. Finally… . Are you coming to your senses?”

“… You are working hard. I hear that you are taking the initiative in leading the situation, unlike before.”

“Really?”

Go Young-man, who also looked at the content that followed, smiled faintly.

“Even though this old man only gave me a small amount of money, I didn’t complain at all. Normally, I would have made a fuss about why this was all I had. As if it was a given.”

“Your Majesty, you are definitely reflecting on your actions.”

Go Young-man nodded.

“He’s a shameless guy.”
