Dokgo-jin frowned at the stream of articles. After I decided to throw out the poison fix, I didn’t touch the media, and more pyramids than expected were climbing.

‘They look like leeches.’

Even the big guys who went were waiting in front of their houses and pointed their microphones.

“President Dokgo-jin, what do you think about this situation?”

“Did you know about this?”

“There is a story that children’s education was wrong. What do you think?”

The bodyguards pushed away the crowds of reporters like piranhas. Even as they were pushed away, they did not stop asking questions.

“There are rumors that the culprit behind this incident is the chairman.”

Dokgo Jin kept a poker face and climbed into the car. The door closed, and the black Rolls-Royce started running along the path opened by the bodyguards.

The secretary sitting across from him tensed his neck stiffly.

‘Should I have used my hands even without the president’s instructions?’

Dokgojin frowned and looked out the window for a second felt like a minute.

A message landed on the secretary’s cell phone.

[Reporter Kang Man-il of Tonghap Ilbo]

Dokgojin opened his mouth.

“I need to make it a little quieter.”

“Yes. Chairman.”

He gritted his teeth and looked out the window.

‘How dare you touch this body. I’ll make you thoroughly regret it.’

Unified Daily Office. A can of coffee was placed in front of reporter Min Cheol-ho, who was sitting in front of the computer and typing with all his might.

“uh?”

When he looked up, Kang Man-il, a junior reporter, was standing there with a confused face.

“Do it while drinking coffee.”

Min Cheol-ho opened a can of coffee, took a sip, and started moving his fingers again. He asked indifferently without raising his head.

“Did you get the interview?”

“Ah. Then you must be writing an article right now.

Kang Man-il sat down on an empty chair.

“What did you ask?”

“I asked if he was the culprit behind this incident.”

Min Cheol-ho stopped his hands and straightened his back.

“To whom?”

“To Dokgo-jin.”

Kang Man-il sipped his coffee. He frowned, but it was dissatisfaction with not being able to win an interview.

Min Cheol-ho’s eyes shook.

“why?”

“…Be careful on the road at night.”

“Ah. Dokgo Group is a hot potato right now. What are you trying to do?”

“I don’t know.”

Min Cheol-ho knew a senior who returned after a change of person while covering Dokgo-jin. After the world quieted down, he eventually quit Tongong Ilbo and went into the mountains. Since he was a respected senior, I visited him several times, but at some point, even his traces disappeared.

Even when he inquired about what had happened, he did not answer, and there was no way to even find his whereabouts after he disappeared.

‘I don’t even know if he’s dead or alive now.’

Kang Man-il drank the coffee.

“Senior. Why do you say scary things? This Dokgo group is also started by seniors. You always bravely write articles and say that I can’t do it?”

“No.”

“Why? You know that you are my role model. A reporter who doesn’t give in to injustice! How cool.”

He clenched his fists with a serious face.

Min Cheol-ho let out a deep sigh.

“You are not alone.”

There were many ways to deal with people. Even if you don’t deal with it right now, it’s not difficult to keep your mouth shut.

‘Especially, it’s easier if you use the people around you.’

The reason why Min Cheol-ho could continue to write articles without succumbing to injustice was because he had no family. After his mother passed away three years ago, he became an orphan, and he had no time to meet women because he was working.

However, Kang Man-il was different. He had parents and a pregnant wife.

“Ah. But what are you going to do?”

“If you come in contact with me, do as I am told.

“But···.”

“If anyone asks me to, say I did it.”

“Then what will the senior do?”

“Don’t worry about me.”

The bodyguards Kim Jae-gu had attached could not be so reassuring.

Las Vegas, the city of gambling, was lined with various hotels and casinos.

‘The United States is as wide as it is wide.’

I only moved from Korea by business class, but it took 5 and a half hours because the eastern and western ends were separated. Perhaps it was because I hadn’t been flying in a long time, I had a lot of travel poison.

Harry Alexander looked me in the eye.

“(Are you tired?)”

“(You’d better get some rest and move.)”

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Just in time, the final report from Fred Balman of the research firm had arrived. It was perfect to check it out while unpacking and resting at the hotel.

He checked his watch.

“(It’s 3:00 PM, so you have time to meet with the realtor. I’ll meet with the realtor first and get a picture of the situation.)”

“(Are you going alone?)”

“(Yes. The boss will take a break from travel and come back tomorrow.)”

It wasn’t a bad suggestion.

“(You do that.)”

“(Please contact me if something happens.)”

“(Then, have a good time at work.)”

I broke up with Harry Alexander and went to a hotel.

‘I heard that Las Vegas is famous for its fountain show.’

I thought I had heard that it was better to stay at the Bellagio Hotel to see the Bellagio fountains. So, I just went to the Bellagio Hotel.

“(Welcome. Customer.)”

A receptionist came out, glanced at Jaffrey, and greeted him. I’ve never been looked down upon in America, probably because I went with a big bodyguard.

“(Have you made a reservation?)”

“(no.)”

“(Then we will help you make a reservation.)”

The hotel staff kindly explained the room type. If it was like before, I would have looked at the cheapest room first, but my eyes naturally turned to the more expensive room.

“(Which room has a good view of the lake?)”

“(Then I recommend this room.)”

I went to the room recommended by the staff and got a suite for Jaffrey and two bodyguards and a king bed single room for Harry Alexander.

‘I’d hate to stay with an employee.’

I thought it would be terrible to go on a business trip and share a room with my boss. It was bodyguards’ job to protect clients, but lawyers didn’t.

Besides, he hadn’t made any enemies in America yet, so he didn’t have to worry about Harry Alexander’s safety.

“(We will guide you to your room.)”

From the window in front of the sofa in the living room of the spacious suite, the Bellagio Fountain, the pride of the Bellagio Hotel, was overlooked.

I assigned a room to the bodyguards, went into another room and unpacked. Even though it was luggage, there was only one suitcase.

I sat down, turned on my laptop, and read the report sent by Trenton Green.

[Comprehensive copy of Target A observation report.pdf]

There were various materials including Kai Walker’s whereabouts for a week, a list of people who came into contact with him, and the work he was doing.

‘Did he do some hacking?’

He even sorted out important information by organizing the conversation history and call history he had with the messenger. There was no way that I had requested it from the telecommunications company and received it, so I got the feeling that it was a hack, but I didn’t bother to ask.

‘All I had to do was work well.’

Forcing people in the information industry to work legally would be tantamount to tying their hands and feet.

The first page was a summary of the main points.

‘uh? what is this.’

The first page had Elisha’s name on it. Even her name was marked in red.

‘target?’

I found the number 3) written in small letters next to Elisa’s name in the attachment. There, Elisha’s personal information was written. From her relationship with the Carver Group to the fact that her father is on the weak side of her.

‘Is William Carver weak against Elisa?’

I didn’t have the image of a daughter-in-law at all… What happened between the families was something I didn’t know.

back to the main page.

[At the request of Colt Gardner, CEO of Huscom, an emerging IT start-up, Elisa Carver’s company operation status and her investigation are being investigated.]

Huscom wasn’t a very prominent company. It sortied as an opponent of Face Note and Star Star Gram, but it was only beginning to spread a little among teenagers.

It wasn’t something to be wary of, but something smelled suspicious.

[Colt Gardner is the second son of Zach Gardner, the eldest son of the real estate industry. Zach Gardner wanted to invest in Carver Company, but was excluded from this investment.]

‘Are you using Elisa to get closer to the Carver Company? But how?’

[The history of cases commissioned by Elisa Carver was stored, and some cases could be legally problematic.]

Then, references to items that could be legally problematic were checked.

[Progress of coordination on in-house sexual harassment issues. It was reported that the parties had reached an amicable agreement, but it seems to have been moderated. The issue may be raised again.]

It was clear that if a fashion company whose main consumer base was women were criticized for sexual harassment, it would take a big blow. Besides, Elisa’s brand was in the middle of growing.

‘But why?’

After thinking about it, I came up with an answer.

Most of the people of the strong Carver family were living within the fence. Elisha’s brothers were all helping out with the family business, so there was no corner to attack.

‘Because the lawyers of the Carver Company are outstanding.’

And the problems that occurred inside were to be taken care of by William Carver, the owner of the house. So there would have been no hope of attacking that side.

The only target that could be attacked was Elisa. Carver Company’s rebel. It was an easy way for her to start a fashion business by raising money on her own without her father’s help.

‘What if I make Elisa into debt?’

The financial situation of Elisa’s company, which was written in the report, was not very good. This was because the company had recently invested in-house reserves for aggressive expansion in addition to image marketing.

‘Maybe this is also the work of Kai Walker.’

She trusted Kai Walker. So you may have followed his advice and expanded your business. I don’t think that the problem that I covered up might explode again.

‘It’s naive.’

I should have been in a bad mood, but I laughed. It may have come from a sense of superiority with eyes of trust. At least the trust of the people who helped me in the first place was high, so it might be a spare time.

‘It seems like he’s trying to shake things up once in a while when he’s having trouble with his finances.’

There was one thing they overlooked.

‘I’m next to Ms. Elisa…’

Rather, how to use this, I think I can use Zach Gardner to eat it…

Rather, there was no reason not to hire a group that could gather this much information in a week. I picked up my cell phone and called Fred Balman.

{(Did you like the material I sent you?)}

“(You did quite a lot of research in a week.)”

{(I worked hard to look good. hahahaha.)}

“(Contract.)”

{(I’m glad you’re satisfied.)}

“(I’m in Las Vegas right now, could you come over here?)”

{(If you want, you should go to North Korea.)}

It seemed to be conscious of me as a Korean.

‘I’m sure he said he’d go anywhere.’

{(Then, please select a place and time to meet.)}

***

The fountain show at Bellagio was worth seeing.

Because it is a hotel that owns a fountain, the music that matches the fountain show came out even in the room. The sound system in the suite was in very good condition.

‘I have to come with Ha-yeon later.’

It’s greedy, but I thought it would be nice if Elisha was with me. Seeing how the two of them became close recently, the desire to build a family together began to grow stronger little by little.

After breakfast delivered by room service, I went out at the appointed time with Harry Alexander. Harry, who was waiting at the door, nodded.

“(Good morning, boss.)”

“(How did the story go?)”

“(That’s… The owner of the area you mentioned doesn’t want to cut down the land and sell it, so we’re negotiating.)”

“(Are you thinking of selling the land?)”

“(They said they would sell it if they bought 60 acres of land all at once, so they’re coordinating it.)”

He made a troubled expression.

60 acres was 73,000 pyeong, which was a huge scale.

“(How much is the price?)”

“(400,000 dollars.)”

what. It’s not even worth an apartment in Seoul.

“(Buy it.)”

“(Yes. Persuading them to divide and sell the land… Yes?)”

“(Let’s make a contract right away.)”

“(Yes! I’ll see you right away.)”
