There may be many that are not, but most of history takes place without my knowledge.

Even if you are directly related to a country, there are many things that are difficult to know in detail unless you are there.

It was like that this time too.

[ Association President Lim Mi-yoon resigns immediately. ]

[The position of president of the association is vacant. Kim Seong-hwan as successor… . ]

Lim Mi-yoon, who had been causing a series of controversies recently, suddenly stepped down from the position of president of the association.

Nevertheless, public criticism towards her did not stop.

In any case, it was a huge positive news in that she, who had been a huge nuisance, stepped down.

… Even though I didn’t know what was going on.

“No. How did you do it?”

Early evening.

Ma Yeon-seo, who seemed to be in a good mood for the first time in a long time, was leaning on the sofa in the main room and sipping a glass of strong whiskey on a round ice.

“There is a way.”

She had a rare, very satisfied expression on her face.

My curiosity boiled over.

“So. What is that method? How did you make Lim Mi-yoon come down?”

Ma Yeon-seo, who had given me some instructions, quickly solved the problem without any notice.

In just less than a week.

Honestly, it’s a little scary.

Who is Lim Mi-yoon?

Isn’t he the representative of ‘Gaecheon Yong’, who grew up in an ordinary family and rose from the bottom to the top with just one stroke of courage?

It is already widely accepted that the domestic awakened industry is virtually under her control and that the political world is also looking after her.

He is a bold person who did not blink even when he was embroiled in a major incident in which three S-class awakened people died and a personal controversy.

To have Lim Mi-yoon come down on her own after only a week.

I couldn’t even imagine what on earth I had done.

“Did I even threaten to kill you?”

Ma Yeon-seo gave a simple explanation with a faint smile, as if she was amused by my serious reaction.

“Companies cannot be owned by individuals. Especially in big companies.”

Tackle. She looked calmly at the ice in the glass.

“How can I stay still when there is no one around me?”

An association is a group closely tied to business relationships.

Literally, each person is climbing a difficult mountain with a lifeline tied to their body.

Of course, if one of them loses his footing and falls off the cliff, the people in the group will also be in danger.

At that point, the people on the cliff have a choice to make.

Will you take risks and pull up someone who fell off a cliff?

Or should I protect my body by cutting the life line that connects my body?

This incident was exactly like that.

The association’s executives, sensing that they too could fall into the abyss, cut off Lim Mi-yoon’s rope after she slipped.

“Did I do well?”

Ma Yeon-seo, who cut off the tail of a dragon rather than a lizard, asked for praise as if it was no big deal.

“Uh, yeah… . well… I did it.”

I once again realized what an amazing woman I was dating.

*

This was after Lim Mi-yoon stepped down and a new president of the association took office.

While Yu-chan was away to strengthen his abilities. Yeonseo called the person she had been waiting for to her house.

“Sit.”

It was Hallyeowon.

“… … .”

Ryeo-won appeared in the living room under the guidance of the housekeeper and carefully sat down on the sofa.

After putting on a lot of effort for the first time in a long time, she put down the bag that Yu-chan had given her as a gift and glanced at Yeon-seo across from her.

“What did you call me for?”

Yeon-seo, who was leaning with her chin resting on the back of the sofa, was glaring at Ryeo-won with sharp eyes… .

“Are you feeling okay?”

Unexpectedly, what came out of her mouth was worry.

Of course, it wasn’t a nuance that really worried me.

“… Thanks to you.”

Ryeo-won, who noticed this, pretended not to care and quietly expressed her gratitude.

OK.

“Hmm.”

Yeonseo sat upright, crossed her legs, and gave an expression that seemed out of place.

“So. How did you feel?”

“… What kind of feeling are you talking about?”

“When I arbitrarily harmed myself and blamed it on my trashy dad.”

“… !”

At that moment, a faint agitation appeared in Ryeowon’s eyes.

“Honestly, I was a little surprised. No matter how crazy you are, I never dreamed that you would even take advantage of Lim Mi-yoon and my family.”

“… … .”

Okay. Ryeo-won looks down and avoids answering.

Yeonseo snorted at that shameless appearance.

“I would be really happy if Yuchan knew about this. Right?”

“… … !”

Swish. Ryeo-won glared at Yeon-seo with sharp eyes.

She smiled faintly at Ryeo-won’s actions, which finally revealed her true face.

“Don’t worry. Because I have no intention of saying anything. It’s a wedding soon, so there’s no need to make yourself blush, right? … After that, I don’t know.”

Ryeo-won was able to sense that Yeon-seo was trying to gain the upper hand by subtly threatening her.

“… What do you want to say?”

“On the condition that you keep your mouth shut. I want to leave some work to you.”

“… Work?”

“You will work as Yu-chan’s manager from now on.”

“… What?”

Faced with unexpected instructions, Ryeowon inadvertently narrowed her eyebrows.

“Now Yuchan will start working officially soon. Weird guys will stick around too. So, you take full responsibility for managing it.”

Ryeo-won, who had no reason to refuse this, was even more unable to understand Yeon-seo’s intentions… .

‘What are you thinking?’

The question was soon resolved.

“And. Report to me regularly.”

“!”

Yeonseo wanted to keep Ryeowon under her control.

“You’re good at that kind of thing, right?”

She sarcastically mentioned the ‘Kang Yu-chan Instruction Manual’ and gave instructions while crossing her arms.

“What did you eat? What did you do? Where did you meet, who did you meet, and what did you talk about? Check everything and report it to me.”

Ryeo Won was dumbfounded.

“… Do Yuchan do everything he hates the most?”

They told me to almost risk my life to become a spy.

“So, I have to do my best not to get caught. I don’t mind getting caught, but… . Because you are done as is.”

For Yu-chan, Yeon-seo and Ryeo-won can be said to be in a similar position, but there is a big difference in fundamental aspects.

Unlike Ryeo-won, Yeonseo has a close relationship with Yu-chan through a summons contract.

However, with Ryeowon, there is no forced connection except for the psychological part.

In short, it means that once a relationship is broken, it is difficult to recover.

That’s not all.

“Even if I get caught by chance, I’ve always been like that, so Yu-chan will probably say that too. But, what about you?”

So far, Yeonseo’s private life has been monitored more than once or twice.

But Ryeo Won wasn’t like that.

Although they had been caught spying on their private lives once before, they had endured all kinds of shame and managed to restore their relationship.

When a person who has always done well makes mistakes, it becomes more evident.

If I make a mistake here, I may never be able to stand next to Yu-chan.

“Just in case, don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can use this to kill me.”

Yeon-seo, who had an overwhelming advantage through information, hinted at a proposal to Ryeo-won.

“What should I do?”

Since ancient times, it has been the responsibility of the powerful to present choices.

“… … .”

And usually, the weak who are presented with a choice end up choosing whatever the strong want.

“… I will do it.”

The same was true for Ryeowon.

*

An apartment in Seoul, which is famous for being expensive.

“Phew… .”

Lim Mi-yoon, who stopped by the host bar she frequented, entered the house with a strong smell of alcohol in the air.

She ordered a ton of alcohol at a price that was ten times higher, had fun with young men, and was chosen as the queen of the day, but her empty heart was not filled.

Of course it was because of Ma Yeonseo.

“That bitch… .”

It would be better if I was out of my mind.

Even while her body was shaking, her mind was infinitely clear.

So I couldn’t control my emotions anymore.

“Fuck!”

thud! Lim Mi-yoon impulsively threw away her bag and staggered to lean on the living room sofa.

“… … .”

Then, suddenly, the luxurious lamp decorating the high ceiling caught my eye.

One day, it was an ornament worth tens of millions of won that I purchased for the first time when money laundering became necessary.

It was something she never threw away even after moving several times.

“… … .”

Sometimes, Lim Mi-yoon would look at that lamp and calm herself down.

Unfortunately, that is no longer necessary.

I gave up on marriage and lost the position of president of the association that I had put so much effort into.

‘Mayeonseo… .’

Snapping. Lim Mi-yoon bit her teeth and her lips trembled in maddening anger.

He was so upset that she, who had everything unlike him, had abandoned him.

It was then.

Uuuuung─. Uuuuung─.

Lim Mi-yoon’s cell phone in the thrown bag began to ring.

Someone had called.

This late in the morning.

“… … .”

Slowly. Lim Mi-yoon moved her body, picked up her bag and took out her cell phone.

[Restrict Caller ID]

Even though I don’t know who it is. He cheekily called me with his number hidden.

“Huh.”

It was obvious that it was a spam or advertising call, but she answered the call without hesitation.

“Hello.”

OK.

[Miss Lim. ]

A young man’s voice came through the speaker.

It was a nuance as if he knew Lim Mi-yoon.

‘How did you know?’

Lim Mi-yoon frowned at the fact that the call was made from a personal cell phone, not a work cell phone, and responded in a curt tone.

“Who is it?”

[I’m trying to help you. ]

“What?”

[Please hand over the information about Ma Yeon-seo and her summon, Kang Yu-chan. Then I will give you a reward that will not disappoint you. ]

The man over the speaker asked for a lot of information.

[Perhaps, he may rise to a higher position than the president of the association. ]

Lim Mi-yoon snorted as if it was absurd.

“What are you?”

The man still answered in a calm voice.

[ Master of China. ]

It was Liu Xinyu.

*

After a while. The association, which had entered a new system, called Ma Yeon-seo and me.

“… … .”

“Hmm. Korea is also pretty neat.”

Including Han Ryeo-won and Shin Yu-na.

‘Why did you call her?’

Aside from Hallyeowon deciding to act as my manager, calling Shin Yuna was questionable.

There are only a handful of people in this country who know Shin Yuna’s identity.

In the meantime, she herself tried to hide her identity.

“Oppa. How about the cafeteria here? My brother and I have similar tastes.”

“… well. I was fine.”

“Then it would suit me too.”

But for some reason, she willingly followed me to the association.

‘What did you see?’

It seemed like he had read some kind of future.

“This way.”

Hallyeowon, who was in charge of guiding us, led us to a facility in the basement of the association.

‘It’s very strict.’

It seemed like it wasn’t a place where anyone could enter, and I was only able to enter after going through double and triple security… .

“Are you here?”

Mayeonseo, who had departed separately, welcomed us.

“What is all this… ?”

I was a little surprised by the state-of-the-art facilities spread out over her shoulder.

It felt like a secret base from a movie.

“It’s an association intelligence facility. Your manager knows well, right?”

“… … .”

When I glance behind me, Han Ryeo-won avoids my gaze.

This seemed to be the place where the report was written.

“… But why is this place… .”

Still unable to understand the meaning, I silently withdrew my gaze and looked at Mayeonseo.

“We are also a stone-possessing country now.”

She crossed her arms and slowly moved out of the way as she spoke.

“So I created a team.”

She had a faint smile and an expression that seemed to ask if I liked it.

“Kang Yu-chan’s team. How about it?”

“What.”

Something, something was happening.
