Ep.138 Yuseong
Yuseong Enterprise.
Korea’s No. 1 Conglomerate.
The only company in the world’s top 10 list of conglomerates, and it wasn’t this unique from the beginning.
It’s always been in the leading three conglomerates, but that’s all.
Their market capitalization and recognition were just one of the most popular conglomerates, slightly behind HanEun group.
However, this has changed dramatically in recent years.
Because HanEun Group self-destructed, the situation was shaken.
Their atrocities, which had been attempting to manufacture biological weapons underground in Seoul, were revealed to the world due to research failure, and the company was devastated.
All high-ranking officials of HanEun group fled the country, and the remaining key developers were suppressed by other villains while causing terrorism.
The situation began to change rapidly as Yuseong Enterprise took all affiliates of HanEun group, executives and employees who had nowhere to go, and technologies and trademarks in the air.
As if they were aiming only for this kind of occasion, Yuseong Enterprise took advantage of the government’s confusion due to the bankruptcy of HanEun group along with the series of terrorist attacks and even began to take over other companies one by one through lobbying and intimidation.
And when the government noticed, Yuseong Enterprise had already taken control of the Korean business circles.
Yuseong is devouring the political world beyond the business world.
And all of this happened under the direction of a woman named Lee Seol-ah.
Lee Seola.
She has both titles that are hard to have, a chaebol third-generation and an A-class hero.
Having taken control of the company as soon as she became an adult, she began to become known in earnest when she was named president after the chairman’s unofficial retirement.
In fact, it’s already widely known that all these achievements of Yuseong Enterprise were thanks to Lee Seol-ah.
She has already been a symbol of fear for businessmen, shaking up businesses and governments with her mysterious political quality, mysterious moves, and high-quality information that no one knows where she got it from.
On top of that, she’s a hero, so she’s popular with the public, cannot be touched directly because she belongs to the association, and has local loyalty based in Busan.
A person of sheer power
Now, amid widespread fear among social leaders that she’s trying to devour South Korea beyond business politics.
She’s the most admired person in Korea.
She was at a loss with her head down in front of me.
“…Do you admit you’re wrong?”
“Yes…”
On the highest floor of Yuseong Enterprise headquarters building in Busan.
I was sitting in the president’s room, the only room on this floor.
Precisely, I was sitting in an IV in a wheelchair.
“Why did you bring Shin Haru there in that situation?”
“…I thought Haru wouldn’t recognize you, of course… I thought it’d be nice if you guys could get closer in private…”
“Haa.”
When I sighed at her words, Lee Seola glanced sideways at me in surprise.
Looking at her, I raised my voice again and spoke up. Of course, I spoke formally but not comfortably as usual.
“…Haa, what’s the point of telling when things have already happened? Although I’m in a terrible condition because I’m overusing my skills, and now even Stardus can find out who I am and catch me, I’m fine.”
Lee Seola kept wiggling her fingers as if she was anxious at my words, which seemed to be not okay.
Then she lifted and lowered her head again when she saw my sunken gaze.
I told her again.
“…That’s fine. Still, I’m personally disappointed with you, Seola. I don’t even know if I should believe and be able to tell you things from now. At this rate, you’ll let others know where I live for some reason, right?”
“No! Never!”
“Be quiet.”
“Yes…”
After shutting Seola up, I asked her. I wanted to pressure her, but I’m also curious.
“So, why did you do that?”
“What?”
“No, there must have been a reason. I mean, what were you thinking? Anyone could tell that it was a dangerous plan, right? After that, of course, I can’t see you in a positive way anymore. Why did you do that?”
“That’s…”
And soon, Lee Seola carefully explained the reason to me.
So the reason is.
“Alcohol?”
“Yes, alcohol makes me lose my rational judgment for a moment.
I’ve heard much about this alcohol and drug addiction thing before.
However, just in case, I thought about the original comic carefully.
I wasn’t as interested in Lee Seola as Stardus, so I don’t know the details…
Alcohol, you said.
Falling into my memory for a while, I remembered in the original that Lee Seola drank and accidentally crashed into a company.
No, she was like that from the start.
“Drinking alcohol is prohibited from now on. Okay?”
“…What?”
“No alcohol. If you don’t like it, let’s not meet anymore.”
“…Yes! All right, I’m really not going to drink from now on!”
She answered urgently as I pretended to go out the door in a wheelchair.
I’ve never teleported out of the door, so I’m just trying to show her something.
I sighed when I saw Lee Seola, who seemed unsure whether she could drink alcohol after her statement.
Who the hell turned her into an alcoholic?
…If I think about it, it might be me, but I decided not to expose myself to the truth.
“Haa… Cough, cough.”
Her face turned white when I sighed and vomited blood again.
I wiped it with a handkerchief I had prepared in advance and said again as if I were tired.
“Haa… Alright. Come to think of it, why is it your fault, Seola? It’s my fault for putting my trust in you. I should have been more careful, but I trusted you so much. Cough. The more I think about it, the more I realize that it’s my fault to trust you.”
“…I’m sorry. Sob.”
Oh, my. Did I go too far?
Seeing Lee Seola about to shed tears after several pressures was a little heartbreaking.
But I have no choice because this could happen again, so I have to make sure. It wasn’t intentional, but Shin Haru almost found out, and things would’ve been ruined.
“Are you sorry?”
“I’m really sorry…”
Hmm. I was going to get closer and ask her a favor.
Let’s just take this opportunity to do it.
“If you did something wrong, do some business with me.”
“What?”
She looked up at her, wondering about my sudden business proposal.
Even if we might do it later, I should get permission first.
There’s nothing to worry about in the face name sold anyway.
***
“Phew…”
Right after Da-in left.
Lee Seola quietly poured grape juice into a wine glass.
“…At least I avoided losing my job.”
She murmured bitterly and drank grape juice in one shot.
Maybe it’s because there’s no prescription, but the headache won’t get better, but it’s somewhat cleared up with the placebo effect.
“…Haa. Crazy bitch. Why did I do that?”
Lee Seola hugged her head thinking about her past stupid action.
Why on earth did she decide to bring Haru there? It’s unexplainable now that she’s sober.
Eventually, as a result, she became distant from Da-in again as he began to speak formally to her again. Honestly, she’s thankful he didn’t cut her off in anger. Lee Seola was already preparing herself to kneel down and use some tears.
“…Yes. From now on, I can not do this anymore. I have to restore our trust relationship again.”
Maybe it will. No, it should.
Egostic, Da-in. Because she can never let him go.
Haa. It’s all because of her alcohol addiction.
…She wouldn’t have drunk if those crazy bastards didn’t make a fuss.
“…I’m going to finish getting Yeouido within this year, really…'”
Lee Seola’s eyes flamed up.
Wouldn’t Da-in forgive her once she succeeded in getting South Korea under her hands?
Still, the mere thought of his disappointed eyes made her heartthrob.
…Oh, and I need to find out what Da-in said something about the PMC and academy at the end.
All right. I’m pretty busy.
From now on, I will take over with all my heart, regardless of the front and back.
Lee Seola’s eyes were burning with passion.
From that day on, the expansionist move of Yuseong Enterprise began in earnest.
***
When I got home, I got rid of this wheelchair and took off the IV first.
I didn’t hurt badly. I just overreacted to make Lee Seola feel guilty. The thing in the drip in the first place is fluid.
“Da-in! Why did you take off the fluid pack?”
“No, I was just acting…”
“It’s not acting, so put it back on.”
I put it back obediently, listening to Soobin.
Eventually, the series of events that happened on the beach is now somewhat over.
I asked Lee Seola to find out about Stardus’ thoughts, but as there aren’t any wanted notices with my face and name yet, I guess everything is still fine. It doesn’t really matter from the beginning since my face was covered with derecognition magic, and I can use some alibi. But I’m going to have to abandon this identity.
Anyway, if I think positively, wouldn’t it be good to take this opportunity to cause terrorism in advance and get PMC permission from Lee Seola? The advantage is that I can use this identity without distancing myself because my identity was revealed to Stardus, which is the least obvious anyway.
Haha.
I dragged the fluid and headed to the living room with that in mind. This is really uncomfortable.
And Seo-eun, who happened to be in the living room, said as soon as she saw me.
“Da-in, did you see this?”
“Huh? What?”
Then Seo Eun switched the channels, and there was the news.
And there.
[Breaking news! Brazil is wholly destroyed today. We cannot connect with the Brazilian authorities at the moment, and the land has been completely destroyed around the capital, as seen on the satellite. The international community is now paralyzed by unprecedented events. As the KOSPI plunged, leaders from all over the world are making statements in unison…]
Breaking news was coming in that a country was just literally ruined.
As expected, it’s starting to get messy like the original comic.
“…Now I’m going to have to get really serious.”
Prepare for destruction.
Stardus, get some rest.
I’ll take care of everything.
