I donated 1 billion to the Hanmaeum orphanage where Ha-yeon was staying with good intentions. I didn’t intend to donate if my child wasn’t doing well, but I threw a lot of money because it seemed to be doing better than I thought.

half sorry,

And I was half grateful.

‘I should have taken better care of myself as a parent…’

I went to jail and didn’t know. When I came out, I couldn’t even approach because I was an ex-convict and I was afraid I would become a nuisance.

Looking back, it was all just excuses.

Because I let it go without even recognizing it properly.

It was just an afterthought because I was busy with my life.

‘Still, I’m glad I didn’t get abused.’

It was so terrible that I almost gave Ha-yeon an indelible trauma. I thought that at least there would be a conscience that I would take with me, but I was foolish to expect that from Seo Eun-chae.

so i donated

10 billion.

The moment I accepted the donation receipt handed over by the director, a pop-up came to my mind.

[Received a gift from a donation angel]

[Tomorrow’s upper limit + items (3 items)]

[Arti-tech $28.36 (++)

Vision plus $12.64 (+)

Gangwon wire rod 1,482]

Items with a ‘+’, a symbol I’ve never seen before, were shown.

‘It must mean something good.’

I hurriedly said goodbye to the director and headed to the bathroom. It was to get things done in a hurry.

I closed the cubicle, sat on the toilet, and ran the program. I had to type it in before I could see the value.

Entered a value for tomorrow’s stock price.

‘I have to check it now.’

What the mobile phone does is transfer the value. The program was running on the computer in the office, so there was no problem doing other things.

I opened the stock program and checked the current price.

[Arti-tech $16.49 → $28.36 (+72.0%)

Vision plus $8.45 → $12.64 (+49.6%)

Gangwon Steel Wire 1,140 → 1,482 (+30.0%)]

‘crazy···.’

I heard that there is no upper limit in the US market, but this was the first time that a return of more than 30% rose.

‘Your skill has been upgraded.’

It seemed that it was automatically upgraded as the US market opened.

‘It’s a good thing for me.’

arti-tech is a tech company that develops AI, and it was a fairly large stock with a market capitalization of 12 trillion won.

As a leader in graphic AI development, there was a new product presentation tomorrow. It is a company that has raised awareness by providing a service that changes the painting style by inserting a picture, and this time it has developed a program that can innovatively lower the unit cost of CG.

[There will come a time when no actors are needed]

Half the story was nonsensical, half the story was possible. A movie without actors, wouldn’t it be difficult even if you didn’t know about animation?

‘Still, it seems to have come out quite well.’

Seeing the skyrocketing stock price, it was clear that the results exceeded expectations.

The donation of 1 billion was a great success.

Right before leaving the orphanage, I asked Ha-yeon to call me. When the director brought Ha-yeon out, the children watched from a distance with their heads all the way out.

“Dad!”

Ha-yeon ran and clung to her leg. As I stroked her hair, Hayeon lifted her head.

“Are you here to pick me up already?”

“I called you to give you some sweets.”

“That’s right! I was supposed to give you cookies!”

Had I been so good that I even forgot about sweets? I feel better.

I opened the trunk and took out the cookie boxes and stacked them.

The director was flustered and waved his hand.

“No, all of these…”

“I’m giving it to my daughter.”

“Is everything mine?”

Ha-yeon’s eyes shone like stars.

“Uh. But are you going to share it with your friends?”

“Huh? Uhh… Yes! Of course! I’m a good kid, so I’m going to share it with my friends.”

I’ve seen you hesitate

I realized that I was still a child, so I laughed.

“Come on. Let’s share then.”

“yes!”

***

“(Looks good.)”

“(Does it look like that?)”

After meeting Ha-yeon, the world looks beautiful and I look forward to tomorrow.

‘I hope I get custody soon.’

My parents were also adjusting to their new home. They didn’t move, but when Ha-yeon came, she was busy making a space for her to stay with.

Thanks to that, Seo Kang-jae and Maurice Jackson became busy protecting the two of them.

The money earned from arti-tech alone is 200 billion. The profit that day reached a whopping 446 billion won.

‘It seems like I’ve reached my limit now.’

Excluding the cases when the donation angel’s return or the watcher’s eye finds a good item, the profit stayed between 200 billion and 300 billion won.

‘It can’t be helped because the scale is limited.’

The sad thing was the truth.

Now I had to find another place to invest this money. Because I couldn’t just hang on to stocks forever.

‘Should I talk to Carver?’

Now that I have stepped in to invest in Vietnam, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to invest in agriculture.

‘Or should I invest in the cultural business?’

Xflix’s Ritz Hales said he would send me a new script. In addition to Ritz Hales, several production companies, including Rocky Mount Pictures, were waiting for investment.

‘The press is fine too.’

The reason the media couldn’t touch big companies was because the money they gave was sweet. If I could give them more money, they were the ones I could switch to like flipping the palm of my hand.

‘As expected, I’d better get rid of the false accusations.’

There were no bodyguards, and it was delayed because Ha-yeon might be caught. I requested more assistance from Titanium Security, and Ha-yeon was due to return home soon, so there was no reason to delay any longer.

‘We can’t make our Ha-yeon a criminal child.’

I called Benjamin Chung and Jason Cole and they immediately came down to the room. Unlike Jason, who was messy from rushing down, Benjamin looked neat as usual.

“(Did you call?)”

“(Put on sunglasses. I have somewhere to go for a while.)”

***

“Who are you looking for?”

When I parked in a shabby, crumbling apartment in the countryside, a middle-aged man in a security guard’s uniform approached me.

A shaggy beard and messy hair, nevertheless, in his eyes, I could feel a firearm different from that of a normal person.

“I came to find Han Seong-min.”

His forehead wrinkled.

“What’s up?”

“I want to clear my name.”

“How can an incompetent person who can’t even take care of a bowl of rice clears up someone else’s name?”

A dying look. It was a self-deprecating attitude. Although it was a bit old and messy, Prosecutor Han Seong-min, who was written in Moon Moo-young’s investigation file, was correct.

He got out of the car and held out his hand.

“What is it?”

“Seongmin Han. Would you like to lend me your strength?”

His eyes turned to the Bentley.

“Anyway, wealthy nobles thought money was everything. But do you know what pisses me off even more?”

He laughed and stuck his hands in his pockets.

“What is it?”

“With real money, anything is possible.”

“Evidence fabrication.”

“How far have you known?”

“I’ve come to know that Sungmin Han’s license as a lawyer has not been suspended. Can I talk to you for a moment, if you don’t mind?”

His eyes turned to Benjamin and Jason.

“Are you coming in and threatening me?”

“No. The two of you will wait in the car.”

“Are you sure?”

“If you’re going to take them by force, they’ve already put them in the car. Is there any place to sit?”

“Let’s sit down in the shade of the tree over there and talk.”

I thought he would take me to the guardhouse, but he pointed to the shade of a nearby tree. He went ahead and sat down in his seat.

“Ah. Good.”

As I slumped down next to him, he glanced at me and turned his head.

“Let’s hear what’s going on.”

“You know the embezzlement case of 1.5 billion from Kangmyeong Corporation, right?”

“There was a feeling that it was overly illuminated compared to the scale of the case. That was also manipulated, right?”

“you’re right.”

“Originally, an empty cart makes a lot of noise.”

He grinned and lit a cigarette. I took a sip until my cheeks went down, inhaled it, and then exhaled it slowly.

“Whoa. These days, this guy is the only one I can handle. Would you like to burn one?”

“Because my daughter hates it.”

I thought of Ha-yeon, who whined that her dad’s clothes smelled of cigarettes every time she went to the smoking room.

“I see. If I had been married at that time, my child would have gone to kindergarten.

Han Seong-min, a young prosecutor full of blood, took off his clothes while investigating corruption in the Dokgo Group. In the process, marriage talks were broken and his body was injured, so he returned to his hometown and was living in recuperation.

He was also slightly lame, suggesting that he had suffered physical retaliation as well.

“So. Is the Gangmyeong Products embezzler sitting next to me?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Maybe because he was a prosecutor, his head was spinning.

“I know you came out after paying for your sins, but you really want to clear your name?”

“I want to be confident in front of others.”

“Is it Dokgo?”

“I’ll have to investigate, but I guess so.”

He inhaled the smoke once more and exhaled it.

“Don’t be hostile to Dokgorang. You’ll get hurt.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Judging by the kneading of her own leg, it seemed fitting that she had also been retaliated against.

“I’m not hostile, I’m trying to clear my name. Please help me.”

“It’s an industry where courtesy to former officials is important, so I won’t be able to defend it.”

“A lawyer will hire someone who deserves all the courtesy.”

His forehead wrinkled again.

“Then why did you come to me?”

“I need someone to research the data.”

“Research?”

“It’s not easy to gather data to prove your innocence since nearly three years have already passed.

It wasn’t easy to convince Han Sung-min, who asked why he brought up what had already been done. It was only after repeatedly emphasizing the family’s affection and the desire to be confident with the child that he was able to obtain a vague consent.

“There are conditions instead.”

“What is?”

His eyes turned to the Bentley.

“Looks like you have a lot of money…”

After saying that, he opened his mouth several times as if his mouth was not coming out.

“Yes. You have a lot of money, so talk about it.”

“If things go well, I would like you to buy me a house for your hard work.”

“A home?”

“…It’s not that expensive. It’s risking your life, so shouldn’t you pay that much?”

I was angry because my pride was hurt. I felt sorry for him because he felt like he was seeing the old me. If he had been a prosecutor, he would have been at the top of the food chain in a Korean society where studying is the best.

“Which house is it?”

“It’s a house worth about 200 million. Wouldn’t you like to work hard if you receive that amount as a request fee?”

Seeing that he was asking for a specific house, it was likely a place that meant something to him.

“Okay. Then we’ll write the contract right away.”

Before writing the contract, I wrote the ‘Eye of Trust’.

[Reliability 82%]

That was a believable number.

I went into the management office and signed the contract.

In exchange for investigating the data for acquittal, it was decided to give a house worth 200 million won after the data investigation was completed.

“Will this be enough?”

“Yes.”

I took a picture and divided it one by one.

I handed him a cannon phone. It was a cell phone that could be used to contact Benjamin Chung.

“What is this?”

“If you need help, please contact Jay here.”

“This is Jay. Don’t do dangerous things alone. Please call me.”

The two shook hands.

“This is an activity fee.”

I took out two bundles of 1 million won and handed them to him. He accepted the bundle of money.

“At least, die once or die twice. Let’s try.”

He was a man who would work hard no matter what he said.

***

On Wednesday morning, the change of custody was finally completed. I contacted Seo Eun-chae and asked her to return Ha-yeon’s belongings.

She refused at first, but was forced to show her face when threatened to wait in front of the house.

“That’s it. I hope I don’t have to see your face anymore.”

It was barely enough to fit in an eco bag. It was just a few photos and a few drawings.

“Is this all?”

“Yes. Goodbye then.”

“Hey!”

He closed the door and called her to enter.

For some reason, I thought I wanted to try using the eyes of trust on her.

“Why?”

We made eye contact and used eyes of trust.

[Reliability 22%]

‘It’s crazy.’

Recently, I wondered if the skill was out of order as the level of reliability continued to rise. However, the skill was working fine.

‘If only I had this, I wouldn’t have ever married an X like that.’

A tantrum erupted at the first low number.

Seo Eun-chae, who stared blankly at my face for a moment, closed the door.

It was an unpleasant experience of having a door slammed in front of my face, but the reliability was so shocking that it didn’t come into my head.

‘Reliability is 22%… Heh heh heh heh heh heh.’

I guess I married a cheater.

***

When the orphanage held a party, Ha-yeon was very happy. His cheeks were tingling from the kisses he had given them over and over again.

“Grandpa! Grandma!!”

As soon as I got home, Ha-yeon ran to her parents and hugged them. The two of them were very happy and ran to Ha-yeon.

“Hey. How’s my puppy?”

“Yes. Grandma?”

A picturesque family in a picturesque house.

My heart was touched as the image of my dream was recreated right in front of my eyes.

‘Let’s only walk the flower path now.’

I will never let this happy home be destroyed again.

***

“Dad, I’m going on a business trip.”

I wanted to go with cute Ha-yeon like a chimney, but one day was too short to apply for and receive a passport.

“Goodbye.”

The way she followed me to the front door and greeted my belly button was so cute that I couldn’t move my feet.

“We’ll take good care of Ha-yeon.”

“don’t worry.”

Father and mother also greeted each other.

This time, I headed to Minneapolis, not New York. It was because there was a meeting between Carver Company’s new business investors.

The meeting was held at the Carver Company’s headquarters.

‘Because networking is important.’

Those who would invest large amounts of money in the food business were likely to be tycoons. In order to fight Dokgo Group, practical force such as Titanium Security and political connections were needed to pressure them.

‘At least I’ll be able to meet someone who will be my bridge.’
