Revenge
Wait here for a moment.
Leaving the two mothers in the warehouse, I stepped outside and called a woman.
Since it was late, the call didn't connect until after six rings.
A low, husky voice came through, typical for a woman.
"Long time no see? Calling me in the middle of the night must mean you've been thinking about my lower body, huh?"
"Sorry. It's not that. I need some help."
"...You? What a surprise. Alright, how can I help?"
I quickly explained the situation and gave the location.
Within an hour, a car entered the parking lot.
Through the falling rain, a woman ran towards me.
She had a short bob cut that reached her shoulders, appearing to be in her mid-thirties.
She was my fourth wife, Yun Sae-rom.
Since we were the same age, we spoke casually, sometimes bickering.
But because of our backgrounds, I had never won an argument with her using words.
Why?
"You're here, Prosecutor Yun?"
Yes, she was a prosecutor in South Korea.
Which man could win against her with words?
A man who was all logic would have a hard time beating her verbally.
"Heh. Long time no see. You look like a drowned rat. How's life been treating you lately?"
She asked me various things, then remembered the reason and fell silent.
I took her to the warehouse and introduced her to the two mothers.
First, I handled one.
Now, the next.
"Sae-rom, please handle the part I mentioned."
"Huh? Then what are you going to do?"
"...Revenge."
She nodded as if she understood.
"Then I'll take care of the appropriate measures, any evidence, and connections in case of anything."
"I'll leave it to you."
She nodded.
Then she waved her hand.
It meant she would handle it herself, so stop interfering and get lost.
I approached Eun-ju and Ye-rim and hugged them tightly once each.
"Seohoo... don't leave us behind."
Eun-ju trembled in fear and begged pitifully.
Seeing her like that, I couldn't move my feet easily.
What she needed now was warmth.
But for such matters, speed is the answer.
So I hugged her again tightly.
It's not like I'm abandoning you. I'm not leaving you. I hugged you tightly.
Only then did the woman's trembling subside a bit.
"I'll be back."
"...Okay."
Seeing our scene, Sae-rom made a sound "Eung~" and showed an interested reaction.
Since she already knew my chaotic sex life well.
Knowing me as a human, she seemed curious about where the acting ended and the sincerity began.
But there was no reason to satisfy that curiosity now.
I had no time to spare.
Having left the store, I ran to my car and fiddled with my smartphone again.
Since there was one more person I needed to call.
If the other party was just an ordinary person, I would have ended it on my terms.
But this time the target was a big shot.
If I moved alone, who knows how long it would take.
Especially since there was no contact point, that was the biggest problem.
So no need to worry.
Just call.
After a few beeps, a familiar voice came from the phone.
It was Ring-ring.
"Seohoo, what's the matter?"
"I want to talk to my master."
"Sorry, but I can't."
The woman refused.
She thought that since she thought of her master as higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, she would definitely refuse.
It was already late.
But that was none of my business.
"Master is just about to sleep, so call back tomorrow..."
"No, I need to do it right now."
A small sigh from Ring-ring.
After a small conversation, Ring-ring picked up again.
"Master says to tell you this. There's no point in rushing if it's not urgent..."
"Please tell Master that I need help."
"...Understood."
Only then did she realize it wasn't an ordinary call, and her tone changed.
That would be it.
Since we met, I had never asked my master for help before.
After a while, the answer came back.
"So, what's the price for that?" he asked.
I swallowed dryly and looked up at the sky quietly.
Was the world going crazy, making even the sky turn upside down? Massive rain poured down through the thick clouds, drenching my face mercilessly.
'It rained like this that day too.'
In the end, I would end up back in that mouth after dodging and dodging.
Hahaha...!! God, you really are mischievous!
I lowered my head again.
For a moment, there was hesitation.
Was it really necessary for me to go this far for those two mothers?
'No, no.'
...Yeah. That's not it.
This is not for those two mothers.
This is for me.
In the life of this human, Seohoo, the only path is the conqueror's path...
Nothing is taken from me.
Only the taking is there.
And those two mothers are mine.
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on what is mine will have to pay back a hundredfold.
'Yeah. Like that day, like that kid.'
I brought the smartphone back to my ear.
Then I said quietly.
"Please convey to Master that I accept the proposal he made before."
And soon after, a familiar middle-aged man's voice came.
His joy was felt in the deep voice.
"Alright. So where are you now?"
***
KUC.
KUC is one of the large corporations in South Korea expanding tentacles-like into home appliances, cosmetics, bio, cafes, etc.
It wasn't one of the top companies within the top ten, but it was a fairly well-known group in the upper middle class.
As with other companies, it wasn't originally like this, and under the current chairman, it has grown so large.
He succeeded in turning a company at the end of a mid-sized enterprise into a huge group with his unique leadership... truly a remarkable person.
However, as the world goes, if there are advantages, there are surely disadvantages.
He became chairman purely on merit as the second son, but he was a passionate yet ruthless person who could be called self-enslaved by success.
If he thought even a little that the company's value was against him, he would ruthlessly cut off blood relatives or whatever.
For that reason, quite capable people gathered underneath, but they all acted carefully like walking on thin ice.
In that regard, Kang Sul-ah, who was in charge of a subsidiary's representative, always had a lot on her mind.
Until now, it was fine because it was quietly hidden, but she had to hire her son and give him a position... but due to constant accidents, she only got headaches.
'Last month too, there was a problem at a store in Sinlim-dong.'
Although I understand she's in her prime, why...
Fortunately, we settled with money appropriately, but I didn't know how long that would work.
In the meantime, what was really fortunate was that her father still didn't have much interest in Jae-sang.
If he did, she would have been driven out of the family.
'And I would have caught the lightning too.'
I looked down at the desk.
The newspapers brought by the secretary this morning were placed on it.
Among them, one article that caught my eye.
- The true colors of KUC Chairman Kang?
The reporter wrote at length, but the conclusion was simple.
That the current chairman was trying to appoint a successor.
And that was true.
Last month, I heard it directly from the party while eating.
'It's precarious.'
Multiple representatives, but ultimately only three people caught the chairman's eye.
Actually, three is a lot, but...
The important thing is that one of those three was herself.
And all three were struggling at the current level.
It was an important time.
That's why she couldn't put her son inside the company rashly.
She didn't know what accident would happen, when lightning would strike suddenly...
'For now, let's delay a bit and focus on achieving results.'
It would probably be better that way.
First, keep her son from causing accidents more strictly.
But after deciding that...
Before 30 minutes passed, the woman's face crumpled badly.
Or rather, the expression "wrinkled face" might be appropriate.
'Ugh. Why... why...'
Kang Sul-ah, representative of KUC Food, trembled all over while watching the video on the tablet.
Inside it, her son's attempt to brutally rape a woman was captured.
The man and woman in the video: the woman resisting desperately, and her son beating her mercilessly to fulfill his desire.
"How dare you refuse me, you bitch?"
"Slap."
"Spread your legs!!"
"I won't! Spread!"
"Slap. Slap. Crack!"
She couldn't see it as her son.
The man in the video was literally a beast.
How could he say such vulgar words and act like that...
But that thought disappeared in an instant, and the problem at hand began to appear.
If this video is exposed... gulp.
Immediately, the next chairman position was out of the question, and her current position, let alone her family register, was unknown.
Her father was a person without blood or tears, so...
"You've seen it all now..."
The man sitting across from her smiled brightly.
He leaned his body back and sank into the sofa comfortably, showing a relaxed expression.
Then he said quietly.
"Then shall we start the serious conversation, Representative Kang?"
