“Boksil, even when I’m not here, you have to guard the house well, okay? Got it?”

Whether he understood Hyeseong’s words or was just in a good mood, Boksil only wagged his tail at the caressing hand. Until the mont he left the house, Hyeseong continued to check his condition. He had already given Boksil breakfast and filled his water bowl. He put away all the objects he might bite, and lastly, he made sure to lock the doors thoroughly.

He slightly stuck his head out the window, and fortunately, he could see Boksil happily playing alone with the nosework toy he had laid out before leaving. This is why people say leaving the house is the hardest part when raising a pet.

Hyeseong moved his heavy feet and headed to the bus terminal in the city.

“By the way, why the heck did he say to et at a hotel?”

Hyeseong looked at the text ssage again, which had the eting place and ti. The hotel was a place Hyeseong knew well. It was a fairly famous place in downtown Seoul.

A bus arrived on ti and Hyeseong took a seat. But as soon as he fastened his seatbelt, his cell phone started vibrating violently.

[Kim Doo-sung]

Hyeseong’s brows furrowed slightly. Why? Why was he suddenly calling? Did this manager get caught? Hyeseong hesitated for a mont before answering the phone.

– Hey! Cheon Hyeseong! Why are you answering the phone so late!

As soon as he picked up the phone, Kim Doo-sung’s loud voice rang in his ear. The person sitting in the next seat seed startled and glanced sideways with wide eyes. Hyeseong lowered his head in embarrassnt and reduced the volu to a minimum.

“I didn’t know there was a call coming in. I’m going sowhere for work right now.”

Hyeseong gulped. What if he found out sothing? If this manager was in danger, the story would be completely different, although Hyeseong could just et the president of Seohyeon Industries as planned.

– Forget it, do you still have your ID?

Phew, Hyeseong swallowed a sigh of relief inwardly.

“Yes. They said it would co within this week, so it should arrive tomorrow.”

A voice muttering curses could be heard over the receiver. According to what the manager said, it seed Myeongpum Capital was constantly under pressure from Seohyeon to pay. Since they intercepted money in the middle, even if they didn’t notice on that side, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

At the urgent voice, Hyeseong replied that he would go quickly as soon as it arrived. He reassured him with a lie that didn’t work, saying he was going to find a part-ti job because he was running out of money.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like Kim Doo-sung had noticed anything. He must be going crazy with profit issues right now, and he probably wouldn’t think that Lee Pilhyun, who was always foolishly deceived under him, was plotting sothing.

Seoul, where he arrived after about an hour’s drive, was crowded with people as always. Perhaps the road conditions were unexpectedly poor, causing traffic jams, so Hyeseong had no choice but to take a taxi. When he got off in front of the hotel and walked, it was strangely noisy and crowded around him.

“What day is it today?”

Well, it must be so event being held at the hotel. In fact, the Laird Hotel was also famous as an up-and-coming place these days for its well-decorated wedding halls. Hyeseong pushed through the swarming crowd and entered the lobby. Then, he contacted the number from which he had received a text yesterday.

[I’m at the hotel lobby.]

About a minute later, the cell phone vibrated briefly and a reply ca.

[Room 711.]

That was it. To be precise, the person providing the information was him.

Hyeseong let out a short sigh and headed to the elevator. Co to think of it, this was the first ti he had co to a hotel since the wedding of the president of Sangwon Electronics. When he lived a life assisting Ihyeok, he ca to places like this as often as eating als. Suddenly, the change in situation hit him.

Hyeseong got off on the 7th floor and walked down the corridor without hesitation to find room 711. As soon as he knocked on the door, a man with sharp features ca out from inside. He silently nodded his head inward.

At the gesture to co in, Hyeseong slowly moved his steps inside. The structure and atmosphere leading from the entrance to the inside felt strangely a little familiar. What is it? It’s the first ti he’s entered a guest room, but why does it feel familiar? While having such thoughts, the secretary who was walking ahead gestured with his eyes to hurry up.

“May I ask why you chose the hotel as the eting place?”

“The president has a schedule here today.”

A dry voice flowed from the man. Co to think of it, that face and voice. They seed a little familiar.

Going all the way inside, a large living room soon appeared. On the side, there were two bedrooms and a clean bathroom. Hyeseong’s eyes were montarily captivated by the unique tiles with gold lines embroidered on white tiles.

Ah, I see. That’s why this place felt familiar.

“President, I brought him.”

Hyeseong’s head, which had been lost in thought, turned to where the man walking ahead had bowed his head. The back of the figure standing towards the large window, looking down at downtown Seoul, finally ca into view.

“Manager Kim, has the wedding downstairs already started?”

“Yes. But don’t worry. We have already sent a few of our guys to attend.”

From the conversation just now, Hyeseong learned that the person was Manager Kim. He was a man whose na Kim Doo-sung had also ntioned several tis.

Moreover, he now knew why he looked familiar. During the Seohyeon faction days, Hyeseong had followed Ihyeok a few tis to etings where the two organizations t.

Of course, it was to the point where he couldn’t say he followed because Ihyeok always hid him far back, saying it was dangerous. At that ti, he rembered seeing that face. He was one of the nurous organization mbers lined up behind Ahn Gi-baek, the leader of the Seohyeon faction and current president of Seohyeon Industries.

Seeing him rise from a low-level organization mber to the position of managing director, it seed his life had not been smooth either.

“Did you hear?”

At that mont, Ahn Gi-baek’s heavy voice suddenly flew in.

“The daughter of the forr head of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office is holding her wedding at this hotel today. I abandoned such an important position and ca to et you.”

At that mont, Ahn Gi-baek, who had only been looking at the window, turned around. The face he saw after a long ti was the sa yet different from back then. Even the huge gang boss could not escape the traces of ti, as wrinkles were visible here and there, but the dark impression that seed to have sunk into the abyss and the eyes of a beast that blatantly ridiculed its prey were still the sa.

Ahn Gi-baek, who was speaking, gestured with his eyes to the two n standing side by side opposite each other. The n acting as security guards nodded and approached Hyeseong.

The mont Hyeseong felt uneasy, the two n grabbed Hyeseong’s arms, twisted them back, and pressed down on the back of his head.

“Ugh.”

Hyeseong, who was in a defenseless state, fell to the floor under the pressing hands. Unfortunately, he had been biting his lips in anxiety, and as his face hit the marble floor, his bitten lips burst open and blood flowed out.

Ahn Gi-baek, who had given the order, walked to the table set up on one side and sat down with an indifferent face. The n who had pressed Hyeseong’s head searched his body all over.

“What the…”

He struggled, but it was difficult to break free. The n, who found out that Hyeseong’s only belongings were his wallet and cell phone, finally stepped back. Ahn Gi-baek also seed to have finished checking, as he waved his hand and dismissed the two n.

“Haa… The greeting seems too intense.”

Looking at the small drops of blood on the marble floor, Hyeseong wiped his lips.

“Don’t think too badly of it. Didn’t I say? I put an important person’s important event behind and ca to et you. In that sense, it’s better for to be sure, isn’t it?”

Hyeseong rubbed his lips. The swollen and burst part seed like it would last quite a while. These days, he wondered why he only experienced such rough incidents. Hyeseong let out a deep sigh.

Kim Sangmu approached Ahn Gi-baek with a calm face and poured whiskey into his glass.

“So the story you’re about to tell now should have that much nutritional value.”

Hyeseong smiled as he watched Ahn Gi-baek down the alcohol. At that smile, Ahn Gi-baek, Manager Kim, and the two n who had roughly searched his body all looked at Hyeseong.

“It’s not that you abandoned an important event of a very high-ranking person and ca, but it seems they wouldn’t pay attention to you guys anyway, so you just ca because your pride was hurt, right?”

“This bastard, what is he saying now…”

Manager Kim clenched his fist tightly and frowned. Seeing the expression that his pride was completely hurt, Hyeseong knew that what he had just said was true.

“The Seohyeon faction, which beca the parent organization of Seohyeon Industries, was a high-profile organization among gangs at that ti.”

Hyeseong got up from his spot, patting his pants.

“The fact that Seohyeon Industries didn’t grow as much as the reputation of the forr Seohyeon faction is sothing everyone who needs to know already knows, right?”

Manager Kim was about to rush at Hyeseong when Ahn Gi-baek stopped him.

“You know about the Seohyeon faction too, and you’re unusually naive. I thought I had seen your face sowhere… You’re that Taesung kid, aren’t you?”

At Ahn Gi-baek’s words, Manager Kim also raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Hyeseong. He seed to think for a mont, then pointed his finger at Hyeseong.

“You…! You’re Kwon Ihyeok’s secretary.”

Both Manager Kim and Ahn Gi-baek seed to recall everything about Hyeseong. The fact that he had contributed to building the organization by entering Taesung in the past, as the secretary of Kwon Ihyeok, the CEO of Taesung Construction.

“That’s right. That naive little punk from Taesung.”

Ahn Gi-baek also widened his eyes in surprise. At that ti, it was Hyeseong who had made the Baekdae faction into duck egg status in the Nakdong River and arranged for them to collect a large sum of money from Seohyeon based on confidential docunts.

The Seohyeon faction was not unaware of that. In fact, rumors that an excellent brain had entered Taesung at that ti were not uncommon, to the point where Hyeseong was a fairly famous figure.

“Well, since you recognized , it seems the identity verification has been done on its own. You could have known by asking even without using this thod.”

“What are you? Why did a Taesung person approach us?”

Manager Kim stood in front of Hyeseong with a highly sensitive face.

“Why else? I think I’ve already told you all my business over the phone.”

Hyeseong picked up the cell phone that had fallen to the floor.

“To add, I’m not a Taesung person anymore. It’s been quite a while, and the content I’ll be telling you today has nothing to do with Taesung.”

Hyeseong passed by Manager Kim and went to Ahn Gi-baek. Then, the sound of Ahn Gi-baek’s cell phone ringing briefly was heard.

“This is evidence that Kim Doo-sung of Myeongpum Capital embezzled the money he was supposed to pay to Seohyeon by intercepting it in the middle.”

Ahn Gi-baek’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the screen.

“Since it’s data secretly brought out by a Myeongpum Capital employee, it should be trustworthy. I wanted to get the actual ledger, but it wasn’t feasible.”

Ahn Gi-baek handed the cell phone to Manager Kim with a serious face.

“What’s your purpose?”

“There’s no big reason to clean up trash. Well, I guess it would be easier to understand if you think that past ties had a slight influence.”

“…”

Ahn Gi-baek didn’t say anything more, as if he had roughly guessed.

“And above all, I’m a person who wants to live very quietly. Since I personally inford you of the location of the trash polluting your territory, I ask that you handle the cleaning yourself.”

Hyeseong seed to have finished what he had to say and turned his body.

“Hey, you.”

At that mont, Ahn Gi-baek’s voice was heard from behind.

“Why did you leave Taesung?”

“I don’t think there’s a reason to tell you. Then.”

Hyeseong bowed his head once in a dry manner and left the room.
