Two of the members sent by Titanium Security were investigative professionals specialized in investigation and surveillance.

Due to the nature of the work, Ricardo did not disclose his career in detail, but he said that he was a trustworthy person to entrust the work to.

Compared to the rugged and tall bodyguards, the two did not stand out much in appearance.

‘Because it’s good to have a normal person mixed in for follow-up or investigation.’

One was a third-generation Korean-American, and the other was a foreigner, but he knew how to use Korean to some extent.

They went to their room and said hello.

“I’m Jaegu Kim.”

“This is Jason Cole.”

“This is Benjamin Chung.”

After a light handshake, we sat down. Since we assigned three people to each suite, it was easy to have a conversation because there was a reception room.

We sat across from each other at the living room table. The two of them sat in a straight posture with their backs erect and listened to my words.

“(I’ll give you the first mission.)”

The more money I got, the more I felt that it was easier to do things I didn’t know much about, let the experts do it. In the days of the common people, the work that was done directly to save even a penny came out faster and more neatly through the hands of experts.

‘Because I can afford that much now.’

Yesterday, when I found Ha-yeon, I went directly to run away, but despite investing a whole day, I didn’t see Ha-yeon, so I decided to use an expert to figure out the movement.

The two belonged to Titanium Security’s intelligence division.

According to Ricardo, they are agents who are good at gathering and managing information, and they have to pay extra for difficult missions. In the case of such a request, he said that he would inform him in advance at the time of issuing the order.

He held out a picture of Ha-yeon along with a piece of paper with Dok-go-jeong’s address written on it. It was a picture of me laughing brightly at home with my cell phone.

“(While hiding around you, please organize and let me know when this child comes and goes. Since three years have passed, the child must have grown up.)”

“(Three years might have changed quite a bit.)”

Benjamin Jung picked up Ha-yeon’s picture and examined it closely. It was a man with sharp eyes resembling a hawk.

“(I think I know what it must have felt like growing up. I accepted the mission.)”

He gave the photo to Jason Cole. Jason Cole stared at Ha-yeon’s picture.

“(How long can I keep an eye on you?)”

“(For now, please by this week. If you find the child, please contact me.)”

“(Okay. You use this for your cell phone.)”

Benjamin Chung held out a small folder phone half the size of his palm.

“(What is this?)”

“(If there is anything to contact during the mission, I will contact you there. I will send a survival message every day during the mission, so if you do not hear from me for two days, please destroy your cell phone and contact Ricardo Gibson.)”

It was like a procedure for security. It was like a protocol that was created because doing dangerous things can lead to loss of life.

“(If you pay the activity fee in cash, I will take care of it.)”

Knowing this, I brought the cash I had drawn up in advance. I handed him a bundle of bills worth 2 million won.

“(I’ll send you the receipt later.)”

“(You don’t have to send it. If you need more, please fill out the statement and claim it.)”

“(All right.)”

As an employee of a famous overseas security company, his skills must be certain.

The chairman’s office of Taesan Group’s holding company, Taesan Products.

Chairman Lim Cheol-hyun was sitting in his seat, looking through the report brought by Chief Secretary Choi Sang-tae and receiving the report.

“My name is Kim Jae-gu. I am 34 years old, and I am the same age as you. I think we met in the same club as you during college.”

“Did he have a club or two?”

“It’s an entrepreneurship club.”

“More than that, this guy has a criminal record.”

he frowned. While looking for the person who invested in Im Han-ul and going back, it was Kim Jae-gu who emerged as one of the influential acquaintances.

It was because I had frequent meetings with Lim Han-ul recently, and the amount of 1.5 billion won that I was embezzled two years ago was almost the same as the investment amount of 1 billion won.

“Yes. I served my sentence for two years and was released six months ago.”

“To hang out with such a bad guy.”

The chairman clicked his tongue and furrowed his brow.

The kind he hated the most were those who took away the money he had accumulated by sweating while rolling a pen on his desk. Jaegu Kim, a former general affairs team at Gangmyeong Corporation, a small and medium-sized company, who was arrested for embezzlement of the company’s money, could not be liked.

“Have you ever had any contact with this guy?”

“It seems that the exchange has resumed recently. Four months ago, I worked as an intern at your company for a while.”

“You mean you embezzled 1.5 billion and invested 1 billion? Do you think this makes sense?”

“However, on the day of the incident, no one spoke to the young master on the phone.”

Viewing the records of the news agency was illegal in principle, but those with money had the means to solve it.

“How about visitors?”

“There was no one new except him.”

“What about the staff?”

“Park Min-seok’s family is on the wealthy side, but he hasn’t inherited any property yet, so he probably doesn’t have that much wealth.”

“Hmm.”

Chairman Lim Cheol-hyun’s eyes stayed on Kim Jae-goo’s picture. I didn’t like the way he laughed like an idiot.

He tapped the photo of Kim Jae-gu on the desk with his finger.

“It’s the face of a swindler.”

“·······.”

“I can’t trust people who are so open-minded. They’re the ones who don’t even try hard enough and only steal other people’s efforts.”

Normally, he wasn’t the type to make hasty decisions like this, but when his son was involved, his temper became fiery. Chief Secretary Choi Sang-tae, who knew this, kept his mouth shut until his anger subsided.

“So what is this impostor doing these days?”

“Recently, I’ve been observed going to America in business or first class to see where the money came from.”

“Have you found a new rod?”

“I don’t know that far.”

A 1.5 billion embezzler suddenly invested in a startup. No matter how you look at it, it seemed only a means to launder money.

‘I won’t let you wield it at will.’

Chairman Lim Cheol-hyun drew an X on Kim Jae-goo’s face with his fingernails.

“Follow him. Investigate thoroughly and find out his black heart.”

“Yes. Chairman.”

As soon as I parked my car in the department store parking lot, I got a call from Han Ho-jae, CEO of Daehan Market. I turned off the engine and immediately answered the phone.

“Yes. CEO. Did the meeting go well?”

{Thanks, it ended well.}

He introduced Bronson from Savannah Market and set the direction for the negotiations, so it could be attributed to me. However, the specific plan for that was entirely reviewed by Daehan Market.

“How do you think it will turn out?”

{I said I would review it positively.}

“Have any changes been made to the proposal I sent you?”

{He said he would try to fix the fee part again.}

“A fee? That should be enough.”

It was a proposal at a level where there was no benefit left. Cutting more than that was a story of making a partnership at a loss.

{He suggested that we raise it a little since we don’t know if continuous collaboration is possible.}

“Is that so?”

{Yes. I didn’t expect to receive an offer like this… It seems that they looked at us quite well.}

Well, it was a fee I could never offer if I hadn’t beaten Dokgo Commerce with the intention of ruining it.

In the first place, the intention was to do a chicken race with Dokgo Commerce, prepared to lose money.

No worries. Because I had a source of funds like an inexhaustible fountain.

If you add up all the profits earned from stocks, it was 215.2 billion in one day yesterday. It will decrease a little after taxes, but how many people in the world earn more than 100 billion won a day?

“Good. Any other stories?”

{Instead, we requested measures to secure a warehouse. They asked us to suggest a way to expand the space if there is more demand than we suggested.}

“What did you decide to do?”

{You have to accept it. I’m scratching my head hard right now. When the report is complete, can I send it to Managing Director Kim?}

At first, Bronson and Han Ho-jae at Savannah Market didn’t know each other, so the story was conveyed through me. But now things were different.

The two had a meeting and got to know each other.

They no longer had to communicate through me.

‘That’ll speed it up too.’

Besides, Han Ho-jae handled the job so well that I didn’t have to be involved.

Since Han Ho-jae and his staff are doing a good job, it seemed that as an investor, I could just trust their work and wait.

“Please take good care of the CEO. After the equity investment on Friday, all you have to do is take care of it as a shareholder.”

{of course. By the way, is it not necessary for the representative of B&T Financial to come in person regarding the investment?}

If you ask Elisa, you can bring the boss, but I didn’t want to. It wasn’t even necessary, like a stockholders’ meeting.

“I have been fully entrusted with the authority to invest in Korea.”

{I’m sorry if I offended you.}

“It’s okay. You can do well in the future.”

There was silence for a while.

{I’ll try my best.}

“I have high expectations from CEO Han. If there is a financial problem, he will contact me right away.”

overflowing with money Now it was time to think about how to spend the money.

{Yes. manager.}

After the phone call with Han Ho-jae, he clenched his fists and screamed.

“Yes!”

Joy welled up from within.

‘If Savannah Market is taken away, Dokgo Commerce will look ridiculous.’

Dokgo Commerce hit the media play as if it had already confirmed its partnership with Savannah Market. Thanks to this, consumers knew that Savannah Market would soon land in Korea.

In this situation, what if Daehan Market forms an alliance with Savannah Market?

‘It’s like making porridge and bringing it to Daehan Market.’

The marketing expenses they poured into the press would go directly to Daehan Market’s profits. It was a bonus to tarnish the group’s reputation.

A hum came out of nowhere.

‘By the way, Mr. Bronson. He’s a better person than I thought.’

I was worried about what to do if they said nonsense asking for a lower fee, but on the contrary, I suggested that we do a normal partnership by raising the fee.

‘This is how we’re partners.’

Even if they left the Savannah Market and Daehan Market alone, the two seemed to be able to take care of it on their own.

‘I’ve passed a hurdle.’

It was a powerful first step to feed Dokgo Group. On the line that I haven’t revealed yet.

I stretched and got out of the car.

‘Is it because of my mood that the air is sweet today?’

From the passenger seat, bodyguard Jeffrey Smith stepped out. Befitting his first name of blacksmith, he was a giant with enormous forearms.

He took over as my bodyguard from today.

‘The rest should be assigned sooner or later.’

The three bodyguards to be dispatched to their parents decided to send them to their parents’ home tomorrow in the name of homestay. Originally, I was going to send only two, but I decided to send one person on the night shift.

I decided to take care of the extra allowance myself.

‘The house seems small, but…’

Three men had to enter the house, which was not very spacious. Even if I moved to a house in Hannam-dong and missed it, it would be extremely crowded if there were five people living in the house.

‘If you feel cramped, you might think you want to move.’

Whatever my parents might think, I hated that they continued to live in that neighborhood. It was a place where people who had neglected the store to the point of ruin lived.

Even when I got out of prison and returned to my hometown, few people spoke warmly to me.

‘Today, Ha-yeon should only think about the gift.’

I shook my head to blow away the negative thoughts.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Jaffrey silently clung to the side. It felt like a moving wall because it was over 2m tall.

But at the same time, I felt a sense of relief.

‘It’s reliable.’

Due to the nature of Korea, where gun ownership is illegal, few people would be able to harm me with such a large body next to me.

Upon entering the department store, people walking from the opposite side gave way like a miracle of Moses.

‘Does it feel strange?’

But you should get used to it by now. I didn’t pay much attention to it and went up to the children’s zone to look around, but Jaffrey suddenly came close to me.

I looked up at him in surprise and he whispered in a low voice.

“(Mr. Jaegu. Someone is following you.)”
