35. The price of a past life (4)
The atmosphere was frozen.
Byungho Yoon spoke in a slow tone.
“Why do I talk about my son with you?”
“Aren’t I the victim of the Golden Circle and the one who caused the Golden Gate? Although it appears that the ‘suspicion’ has been cleared on the surface due to Rep. Lee Kyung-cheol’s death, I am still convinced that Yoon Hyun-min is the true mastermind behind the Golden Circle. “That is something that both the Chairman and I clearly know.”
“If you’re planning on making a fuss, just leave. “Allegations are proven not with words but with evidence.”
Chairman’s seat.
The weight was conveyed.
Even though Byeong-ho Yoon willingly invited Hyun-seong Kim, he blatantly revealed that he had no regrets about this position.
It would be good to find out Kim Hyun-seong’s intentions, but even if they just kicked him out like this, the intended goal of educating Yoon Hyun-min would have been achieved. A thirsty person digs a well. Byung-ho Yoon knew the principles of the world better than anyone else.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“You are so shameless. Yoon Hyun-min’s power comes from Taeyang Group, to be exact, from his father, the Chairman. Considering that Hyunmin Yoon created and ran the ‘Golden Circle’ when he was young, it makes no sense for the Chairman to not know of its existence. Isn’t there a saying that if you knew, you are an accomplice, and if you don’t know, you are incompetent? However, I will not ask why he ignored this situation. “It would be meaningless to discuss common sense when it comes to protecting your only son, and especially the group’s successor.”
I didn’t even want a confession in the first place.
Even if Yoon Hyun-min’s crime is clear, Taeyang Group is absolutely not a group that will take the lead in solving the problem.
If you felt remorse.
There must have been clear sanctions in place when the Golden Circle was created.
On the surface, it seems that the position of successor to the Taeyang Group created the golden circle, but in reality, would people like CEO Lim Cheol-hyung, who had a lot to lose, blindly trust Yoon Hyun-min? no. Behind the scenes beyond that. The belief that if a problem arises, Taeyang Group will resolve it. This was a problem that absolutely required the Taeyang Group to stay on the sidelines.
Hyunseong Kim took out his cell phone.
And then.
Tuk.
I put my cell phone on the table and looked straight into Byungho Yoon’s eyes.
“I’m sincerely curious about how you will make decisions from now on, not as a father, but as a chairman.”
* * *
The call was connected.
A familiar voice was heard from Kim Hyun-seong’s cell phone on the table.
[President. This is Park Jeong-hak.]
“… … .”
Byungho Yoon’s eyebrows twitched.
Beyond the cell phone.
In response to the possibility of recording or a trap, Byung-ho Yoon did not make a statement that would give him room.
It was an expected development.
Park Jeong-hak continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
[Where I am now, there are many people the Chairman is familiar with. Hong Dong-young, a member of the National Assembly, or Jeon Sang-cheol, who is active in Gangnam. They are all people who have benefited from the chairman. The reason I contacted you through Kim Hyun-seong like this is to convey ‘our official position.’]
No proof was needed.
Byung-ho Yoon recognized Park Jeong-hak’s voice right away.
[In the meantime, we have done a lot of work with Director Hyunmin Yoon. In that relationship built on trust, there was confidence that no matter what crisis came, they would protect each other and overcome the crisis. Even not so long ago. President. From the moment Director Hyunmin Yoon secured his own safety by putting Representative Kyungcheol Lee in the name, we could no longer trust him. It’s no one else, it’s Rep. Lee Gyeong-cheol. He has enough power to force the death of key figures in the ruling party, and if the tip of his sword is pointed at us, he has no confidence in surviving. The person who betrayed trust was Director Hyunmin Yoon. Therefore, just as Lim Cheol-hyung did, we would like to join forces from now on to help Kim Hyun-seong.]
“… … I don’t know what you’re talking about. But if that means turning the Taeyang Group into an enemy, the price will be high.”
I opened my mouth.
Park Jeong-hak’s remarks could not be ignored.
[I know. Because I knew this, I thought and thought about it all day long. But don’t we have to live too? If Director Hyunmin Yoon’s ideal picture is to protect one’s own safety, then we, who are forced to do the worst, have no choice but to choose the lesser evil. Now the members of Heaven have gathered in one place. The six people who initially came together and more people plan to attack the Taeyang Group by any means possible. You probably won’t be able to bear it. No matter how great the Taeyang Group is, there will ultimately be limits, and there are enough powerful people here to bring down even a huge company. Hang in there. If the world once again reexamines the ‘Golden Circle’ and the Taeyang Group stumbles, the Taeyang Group will experience unprecedented difficulties due to just one director, Hyun-min Yoon.]
It was a blatant threat.
From the moment you decide to cross the line.
There was no hesitation.
Those in power in South Korea, such as Park Jeong-hak, initially possessed enough power to rival the Taeyang Group.
[Please discuss the rest with Kim Hyun-seong. Kim Hyun-seong’s will is our will.]
Pop.
The call was disconnected.
Let Byeong-ho Yoon’s eyes turn to Hyun-seong Kim.
“Do you still think it’s not worth talking to me?”
Kim Hyun-seong’s smiling face distorted Yoon Byeong-ho’s expression.
* * *
Hyunseong Kim said.
“I will tell you what will happen to Taeyang Group in the future. Led by CEO Park Jeong-hak, who just called, people who were once members of Heaven will attack the Taeyang Group on a large scale. Don’t think you can take that attack off without a hitch. Cheonsang (天上) are people chosen by Director Hyunmin Yoon. Socially, people who have a great influence on the Republic of Korea are categorized separately and named Cheonsang, and although each of them is weaker than the Taeyang group, they are not people to look down on. “As the Taeyang Group faces a crisis, the rumors surrounding Director Hyun-min Yoon will be brought to the spotlight again.”
This situation.
I completed the plan and replayed it in my head countless times.
The moments that I had been repeating alone were uttered in a firm voice without the slightest wavering.
“That’s just the beginning. As you know, Rep. Kim Pan-ho is in a very good mood recently. He is a person who actively took part in eradicating the Golden Circle while everyone else was sitting on the sidelines, and the prevailing assessment is that if this continues, he has a very high probability of being elected as president. Representative Kim Pan-ho made a promise to me. He will risk his political career to root out the Golden Circle and root out those behind it. He probably doesn’t want to just end this, which will remain as his ‘political achievement’. Will the Taeyang Group, whose strength has been weakened by Heaven’s attack, be able to withstand the attack of the President of the Republic of Korea? “If we don’t put this country on our backs, many problems will arise.”
It was one-sided.
Byung-ho Yoon’s face gradually cracked.
At first, I thought I could ignore Kim Hyun-seong, but in the first place, this was a fight in which I had no control.
“And I will relentlessly publicize the rumors behind Yoon Hyun-min. As the person who burst the Golden Gate, my words have absolute power over people. If the victims who follow me speak up about Yoon Hyun-min and brand Golden Circle as an evil company. People’s anger will create a phenomenon called a boycott. We will no longer consume anything derived from the Taeyang Group, and if these difficult years continue, the Taeyang Group will one day reach its limits. I am a person who will follow through on my plans. Even if I die, someone else will carry on my will through my will.”
Sigh.
He bit the opponent’s neck.
The weapon prepared by Kim Hyun-seong fatally penetrated the skin.
“The reason I visited the Chairman even though the situation was clearly advantageous. That’s not to declare war. Just one condition. If you accept that condition, we will exclude Taeyang Group. “I will end up as a bystander, not an accomplice, and at least prevent this fire from engulfing the Taeyang Group.”
“What on earth are your intentions?”
The pupils shook violently.
Kim Hyun-seong no longer looked like an ordinary high school student.

Hyunseong Kim said.
“My request is… … .”
* * *
This is where Kim Hyun-seong left.
Byungho Yoon looked at the photo with a complicated expression.
When Yoon Hyun-min was young, he was seen smiling brightly while riding a wooden horse.
“… … “Hyeonmin.”
only son.
Because he was from a noble family, and because he was the heir to inherit the Taeyang Group.
I poured out my sincerity.
When the wind blows, fly away. Uncharacteristically, Yoon Byeong-ho stamped his feet and gave everything to Yoon Hyeon-min.
That was the problem.
Because he allowed his son to do everything, at some point he created an unreasonable group called the ‘Golden Circle’. The game has already been played. He chose to remain on the sidelines because it would have been humiliating for his son if he had come forward and said that Taeyang Group was not involved. He actually thought it wasn’t that bad. Even though the chairman did not actually step forward, he formed a power with just that halo.
He was a proud son.
From a young age, he never disappoints expectations, and Golden Circle gradually proved that it was beneficial to the group.
Sun Group.
It was clear that he was the right person to succeed him.
That’s what I thought.
“… … “I was so reluctant to do it because it was my son’s business.”
It was devastating.
Kim Hyun-seong’s request.
It was shocking.
As soon as he heard what he said, Byungho Yoon’s eyes started to tremble.
I didn’t accept it right away.
It was a problem that could not be easily chosen.
To be precise, it was a problem that should not have been chosen.
‘Even so. If I had to choose between my son and the company, my choice would always be the company.’
inherited from father.
All of the Yun family that has been passed down for generations.
When Byeong-ho Yoon took over as chairman, he raised the company, which was in the middle of the business hierarchy, to its current position through hard work. He could not allow his life, and this company, which he had invested his blood and sweat into, to completely collapse because of his son.
thinking back.
The reason why I loved Yoon Hyun-min so much was the fact that he was the boy who would inherit the company, and the fact that he showed outstanding performance as a successor to the point where I was fully satisfied. She added her affection to the way she looked at Yoon Hyun-min.
I swallowed my despair.
I couldn’t afford to get lost in sentimentality about the choices Kim Hyun-seong threw at me.
Beep.
I pressed the call button.
When the secretary’s voice was heard, Byungho Yoon spoke.
“Tell Hyeonmin to come in right now. hurry!”
* * *
Hyunmin Yoon clearly looked nervous.
Immediately after leaving the president’s office.
My mind became complicated.
Kim Hyun-seong is someone you can never meet at the top of the Taeyang Group, so I couldn’t understand why my father was meeting him. When I got involved with Kim Hyun-seong, nothing went as expected. Even without that, ominous thoughts took over his mind, and he couldn’t help but feel even more anxious when he heard that someone was calling him.
I went to the chairman’s office.
When he faced his father, Byung-ho Yoon didn’t mince words and got straight to the point.
“Heaven has betrayed you.”
“… … yes?”
“Now is not the time to show such stupid expressions. A little while ago, through Kim Hyun-sung’s cell phone, he announced that people in heaven, including Park Jeong-hak, follow Kim Hyun-sung. They said they would attack the Sun Group if you did not accept the option of abandoning you. Since you created and led the Golden Circle, you also know very well that the scale of heaven is amazing. “Now I am faced with a choice, not as my father but as the chairman of the Taeyang Group.”
Just now.
There was no father looking at the photo with affection.
Chairman Byung-ho Yoon looked at Hyun-min Yoon with sharp eyes.
“From now on, you must change the minds of the majority of the people in Heaven and bring in someone from the Sun Group who will clean up your filth. If you succeed at that… … .”
This decision now.
That was Yoon Byung-ho’s best.
The group and the son.
In a situation where he couldn’t give up anything, Byung-ho Yoon needed a reason to give strength to whatever decision he made.
“At that time, as your father, I will protect you until the end.”
