33. Half a year later (1)
It was already December.
As the cold wind made people’s clothes thicker, a suffocating conversation was taking place in a Korean restaurant in Gangnam.
“So you’re saying it’s impossible?”
“… … That’s not it. Although the pace is slow due to public opinion, corporate tax cuts limited to specific industries are progressing steadily. If this is successful, isn’t this an issue that will bring great benefits to the Taeyang Group in the future? “If you have a little patience, you will definitely succeed.”
It was Lee Gyeong-cheol, a member of the National Assembly.
The person who could be said to be the most powerful person in Korea looked embarrassed by the man in front of him.
It had to be that way.
The man in front of me.
Before becoming the successor to the Sun Group, he was the owner of the Golden Circle.
Half a year ago.
Due to Kim Hyun-seong, the Golden Circle had many internal problems, but Yoon Hyun-min used it as an opportunity to turn things around. He raised the Golden Circle, which he had tightly controlled, to the surface. Those in power like Lee Kyung-cheol clearly had the opportunity to rebel, but they chose to take a step back due to the Golden Circle’s power being greater than they thought. A complex relationship centered around Yoon Hyun-min. Aside from the fact that he was a time bomb, the benefits of that relationship were beyond imagination.
hostile politician.
Hostile company.
People who are so-called powerful.
They all went through Yoon Hyun-min.
Yoon Hyun-min had no choice but to become a traitor, and those in power decided that it would be beneficial to compromise with Yoon Hyun-min.
That was the result.
At first, a power game began within the Golden Circle, but Yoon Hyun-min settled the fight and proved that he was the true master. From then on, there was nothing to hesitate about. He openly revealed the golden circle. Work that benefits the Taeyang Group and expands the power of the Golden Circle. Since the name of the Golden Circle was mentioned in everything, people who did not belong to the Golden Circle had no choice but to look at Yoon Hyun-min.
The same was true for this corporate tax cut.
Taeyang Group is making significant investments in the future battery business, and was pursuing a corporate tax cut for the industry accordingly. The leader pushing the bill is Lee Gyeong-cheol. And a significant number of lawmakers, regardless of the ruling party or the opposition party, are supporting it, and they are also people who belong to the Golden Circle or have been promised benefits.
A huge cartel was forming.
Excluding hostile relationships and purely sharing benefits has become a reality thanks to the existence of the Golden Circle.
It was Hyunmin Yoon’s ideal.
showed a smile
The words that he would definitely succeed sounded very good to him.
“Isn’t this a policy that we all push for to live well? If the Taeyang Group makes a profit, it will be shared among everyone in the Golden Circle. So, please help us a little bit.”
“All right.”
Perfect superior-subordinate relationship.
Hyunmin Yoon has been reborn as the true owner of the Golden Circle.
* * *
Lee Gyeong-cheol went out first.
Hyunmin Yoon remained alone and enjoyed the food.
“Should we call this a perfect virtuous cycle?”
Golden Circle.
It was a really fun group.
A person of the caliber of Lee Kyung-cheol clearly had the power to raise people up and bring them down.
But I couldn’t bear to do something like that.
Taking down Yoon Hyun-min means revealing Lee Kyung-cheol’s corruption, but the problem is that everyone in the Golden Circle is in the same position. Lee Gyeong-cheol, Lim Cheol-hyung, and someone else. Not only did he not want to take risks, but there was a high possibility that the rebellion would fail in the first place if those in power who were aware of Yoon Hyeon-min’s weaknesses did not add their strength. It was an ironic point. Hyunmin Yoon took advantage of too many of his weaknesses and became a true villain.
like that.
A virtuous cycle has begun.
While he was unable to do anything due to his weakness, he accepted Yoon Hyun-min’s request and proceeded with the work.
As a result, Yoon Hyun-min gained even more power, and while he hesitated, he expanded his power again.
Cheolongseong.
A huge castle was built.
Now, half a year later, those in power like Lee Gyeong-cheol have adapted to reality.
It was perfect.
In this situation that is finally coming to fruition, there was just one part that was very annoying to Hyunmin Yoon.
asked the secretary.
“What happened to Kim Hyun-seong?”
“… … His whereabouts are unknown. Even though public power is being mobilized to search, no signs of life have been found. If so, it means that there is no bank account, card, or anything else in your name, but in fact, unless you are publicly wanted, it seems impossible to find it in a short time.”
“I remember Kim Hyun-sung as a guy who would never give up like this. The boldness with which he fights back when pushed to the edge, and the malice towards me. They’re definitely preparing something out of our line of sight. Push Daesan a little more. “So that Kim Hyun-seong can’t hold back and has no choice but to come out.”
“All right.”
The secretary lowered her head.
In the past six months, Golden Circle had no choice but to take precautions.
Because I had to go through growing pains both internally and externally.
It was different now.
Since it was completely organized, the secretary spoke in a firm voice.
“We will definitely produce results that will satisfy you.”
* * *
The secretary immediately called someone.
Seungjo Han.
He was the broker who led the new Golden Circle.
He was originally in charge of Heaven, but as the boundaries of Heaven collapsed, he was in charge of the Golden Circle.
“What happened to Daesan?”
A month ago.
The secretary had already given the order.
Although he had been hiding for a while due to reorganization, he gave a separate order to Han Seung-jo to find Kim Hyun-seong. Kim Hyun-seong’s family. Among them, try touching Kim Hyun-jin, who has to go to school. She thought that if she harassed her in the Golden Circle’s way, Kim Hyun-seong would definitely react in some way.

‘If you look at Kim Hyun-seong’s actions, it is true. The act of attaching people to a family member and mobilizing the police proves that, unlike throwing one’s own life away like stubble, one views one’s family terribly. What if your younger brother is in a dangerous situation? Kim Hyun-seong has no choice but to appear.’
however.
Now, a month has passed, and Han Seung-jo looks troubled.
“We handled things the way we have done so as to avoid causing as many issues as possible, but… … “This is causing some problems.”
“problem?”
What is the method so far?
It meant that a person from the Golden Circle had been transferred.
The plan was to harass Kim Hyun-jin at school with school violence, but I didn’t think that Daesan’s background would be a problem like before. Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol of Cheonil have already been set as examples. Myungjin Construction has been under constant attack for half a year now, so people who see it will not be able to come forward.
Han Seung-jo sighed.
He wanted to report as positive a result as possible, but now that a month had passed, he had no choice.
“Daesan. I don’t think the people there have given in yet.”
* * *
A month ago.
At Han Seung-jo’s order, a student was transferred to Daesangwa High School.
The administrative procedures proceeded smoothly, and S-ranked In-ho In-ho touched Kim Hyun-jin as planned.
Bah!
“The back of your head looks like an X.”
While passing through the hallway.
As soon as I found Kim Hyun-jin, I quickly kicked him in the back.
It was my first trouble.
Kim Hyun-jin grabbed the back of his head and glared at him, but Jang In-ho smiled.
“what? What are you going to do? Should I at least call my brother?”
This school.
We will no longer be able to protect Kim Hyun-jin.
So far, it seems like no one has been able to touch Kim Hyun-jin due to his older brother’s reputation, but Jang In-ho, who had the Golden Circle on his back, was different. He had nothing to be afraid of. Rather, he had to be even more provocative and bring out the background of Kim Hyun-seong.
‘Said the broker. If I successfully complete this mission, an officetel will be built in my name in Gangnam.’
I had to risk my life.
I was planning on succeeding somehow, even if it meant killing Kim Hyun-jin.
“Hyunjin. I warn you in advance, if you want to live, call your brother. “I have no intention of stopping until you die.”
He grinned.
Just then the class bell rang.
Jang In-ho returned to his class, leaving behind Kim Hyun-jin, who was furious.
I didn’t concentrate in class.
In his life anyway, classes like this weren’t that important.
It was then.
Grumble.
widely.
“Jin-ho Jang. come out.”
It was my homeroom teacher.
Seeing him calling out to him with a serious face, Jang In-ho stood up without blinking an eye. In his head he thought this and that. Kim Hyun-jin may have been a snitch. Well, even if that were the case. Nothing will happen. Taking Kim Hyun-jin’s side would mean a lot of responsibility.
It was as expected.
The homeroom teacher said.
“I heard you hit Hyunjin?”
“So?”
“But!?”
The homeroom teacher’s expression suddenly distorted.
He rolled up his sleeves and came carrying a club.
“Lie down.”
“teacher. I think you’re misunderstanding something, but you know what happens if you mess with me. Don’t do anything for nothing. Like Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol from Thousand Days. Teacher, you also get involved in bread.”
They openly mocked him.
I thought I would leave by this time.
However, contrary to expectations, the homeroom teacher looked at Jang In-ho with cold eyes.
“How dare this bastard threaten a teacher? Lie down, you f*cking bastard!”
Then I realized.
Something was wrong.
Jang In-ho had no choice but to lie down, and the homeroom teacher swung the club several times until Jang In-ho’s buttocks exploded.
* * *
Jang In-ho’s work.
It was immediately reported to Han Seung-jo.
Han Seung-jo called the principal of Daesan High School.
I was very displeased with the fact that a situation like this arose, even though I had set an example for a thousand days.
“principal. I should have made it clear. When we push for Inho’s transfer, we will provide appropriate compensation if you turn a blind eye to whatever Inho does at school. But Inho was beaten like a dog by his homeroom teacher today. How should I interpret this? “Can I interpret this as a protest against the Golden Circle?”
Golden Circle.
I had no hesitation in mentioning it.
The situation was already revealed publicly, and at some point, the Golden Circle became an entity that could not be touched even if it was known.
The teachers said.
If there are students in the school who are managed by the Golden Circle.
As if what happens due to that student is out of the question, you can exclude his or her existence and fulfill your responsibility as a teacher only for the remaining students. That’s what the Golden Circle meant. If you touch it for no reason, your life could be ruined, but in the end, as teachers who were just ordinary people, they couldn’t take the risk.
I expected the obvious reaction.
I thought the principal would bow down and say he would correct the problem, but I got an unexpected answer.
[If you protest. Does this mean that I will become like Oh Dae-hwan in Thousand Days?]
“Is it uncomfortable for someone who knows so well to ask such a question? yes. If you don’t handle this matter properly, I will create a corruption case that doesn’t exist and blow off the principal’s head. It won’t just end in dismissal, but you may end up spending the rest of your life in prison. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
It was a blatant threat.
He held a knife to my throat.
[What a threatening threat. Even so, the incident is very famous in Daesan. Everyone knows that Oh Dae-hwan lived like a piece of trash, but seeing him fly away so openly made the people of Daesan feel quite a sense of crisis. Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Young-cheol. And even a huge company called Myungjin Construction. The breath of the people of Seoul is blown away in one go. By the way. You should have done it in moderation. As the principal, the reason I accepted Inho Jang’s transfer was not because of pressure from the Golden Circle, but because it was an appropriate procedure. As expected, Managing Director Go Chang-beom was right. You are the people who will not end this once, but will condemn us to hell for the rest of our lives.]
Something was strange.
The principal’s reaction did not seem to indicate that the threat was working.
[hello. Does Daesan really look like X?]
I widened my eyes.
Seungjo Han.
And the Golden Circle didn’t know.
Over the course of half a year, there have been significant changes in the Daesan Cartel.
