The Return of the High-ranking Civil Servant
Episode 355
A simple guess.
No, it’s not a guess, it’s a fact.
Suho told it as it was, and Hiro, who was quick-witted, quickly figured out the situation.
Suho added.
“It seems that Sumiyoshi is not liked by the Japanese government.”
“Do you think I look ugly?”
“Since ancient times, the Japanese government has not been very fond of foreign companies exerting influence in the country. You know, even when foreign companies establish a company by sharing shares with major Japanese companies, if their influence grows later, the government intervenes and somehow takes away the shares of the foreign companies.”
It really was.
Japan has been intervening in the market arbitrarily and doing absurd things in the name of protecting its own companies, and it seems that this time will be another case.
But Hiro’s thoughts were a little different.
“… … Even so, it won’t be to that extent.”
“Then would you like to check it out?”
“Are you sure?”
“I’ll show you something fun.”
Suho activated his senses and checked his surroundings.
I estimated that there were quite a few people at Ryotei, but there was no movement, perhaps due to the influence of the mini-pier.
‘It looks like everyone has fainted.’
That’s good.
In the meantime, I’ll just take care of business quickly.
After pressing the paralysis points of the nine unconscious assassins, Suho returned to the table and pressed the paralysis points of Manager Nakamura, who was lying face down in front of the table.
Director Ohta didn’t mention it.
Instead, he pressed on the bad blood and woke up in pain.
“Whoaaaaah!!”
Director Ohta screams.
He didn’t die.
The reason he was able to withstand the mini-pier was because he was also an Awakened.
Surprisingly, unlike in Korea, only the Awakened could work in this ability.
‘To be exact, only the Awakened can sit in high positions as they are promoted.’
Suho came to his senses and made eye contact with him, using his influence skill.
[ The effect is activated. ]
There are also methods of obtaining information through torture that inflicts pain.
But given the circumstances, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it and wanted to handle it as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Suho said to Hiro.
“I have hypnosis skills. And I am currently hypnotizing Director Ohta.”
“Hypnosis?”
“It’s a type of skill that works well on players lower than me… … Let me show you. Hey, name.”
“My name is Isao Ohta.”
Director Ohta answers quickly.
Even though the military uniform was tightly packed, there was no trace of his usual arrogant appearance.
A look of surprise spread across Hiro’s face, and Suho, having finished checking, got straight to the point.
“All those guys you brought with you, are they all Yamaguchi members?”
“Yes.”
“What happened? Why is the Yamaguchi Guild involved in this?”
“Our ability has recently joined forces with the Yamaguchi Guild. To put it simply, in exchange for our ability to look after Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi has decided to monopolize the market by relying on our ability.”
“What about the market?”
“This refers to all areas of business that the guild can do, including raid business.”
“Suddenly? You’ve been quiet all this time, so what’s the wind blowing?”
The Japanese government can bring in a dog named Yamaguchi.
It’s not a new thing for the government to use corporations like hunting dogs.
But why are you suddenly doing something you never did in your past life?
What is the wind blowing?
This is the part I don’t understand the most.
Director Ohta answered Suho’s question.
“It’s because of the recent tectonic shift in the guild industry.”
“Tectonic shift? Are you talking about the Inagawa case?”
“you’re right.”
“hmm.”
I see.
This one was a side effect of the Inagawa thing.
If so, that makes sense.
It’s not just anything else, Inagawa, which was one of the top three guilds in the industry, suddenly disintegrated and was absorbed into another guild.
So now we need to change the direction of the question.
“Okay. Then next question. Did Yamaguchi suggest this to I-neung-sung first, or did I-neung suggest it to Yamaguchi first?”
It was the most important question.
Because responsibility will vary depending on the answer to this question.
“We proposed it first.”

“You guys?”
“yes.”
“why?”
“I thought it was an opportunity.”
“opportunity?”
“The three largest guilds in the domestic industry are all from yakuza companies. Our government has been reluctant to do this for a long time, and we have not had any particular reason to intervene in the market, so we have kept quiet. However, after investigating the recent Inagawa dissolution case, we found that Sumiyoshi and the Korean guild were working together, so we thought it was a good deal.”
“What do you mean by good number? Explain in detail.”
“I understand that the one who absorbed the recently disbanded Inagawa was Sumiyoshi and the Korean Union. Through investigation, we found out that Sumiyoshi attacked Inagawa, but we couldn’t figure out why the Korean guild suddenly divided Inagawa’s business and absorbed it, and established a Japanese corporation with Sumiyoshi’s help. However, something smelled fishy, so we concluded that Sumiyoshi and the Union were in cahoots.”
Without any basis?
It was ridiculous.
“So you thought it was a good idea and brought Yamaguchi in?”
“Yes, from our government’s perspective, it’s much better to have one guild with yakuza origins rather than three. And no matter how much we dislike guilds with yakuza origins, the opinion was that rather than having foreign… … and Korean companies divide up the domestic market, it would be better to take care of our own guilds. That’s why we decided to take this opportunity to get rid of Sumiyoshi and join forces with Yamaguchi.”
The explanation is complete.
At the same time, all questions were answered.
This was not a simple deviation by Director Lee Neung-seong, but a planned operation with the state behind it.
“… … .”
Hiro became speechless.
They say the truth is bitter, but when I actually faced the truth, my mouth felt very bitter.
Suho shrugged his shoulders after meeting Hiro’s eyes.
And then he continued asking questions.
“So, what exactly were your plans for today?”
“The plan was to kill Chairman Sumiyoshi on the spot and blame the entire incident on the Union representative who came with him.”
“And detain the Union representative in Japan?”
“Yes, that way we can deal a blow to the Union and take out Sumiyoshi at the same time.”
The political world is a truly scary place.
There is even a saying that goes, ‘They made him commit suicide.’
In that sense, I never thought there would be such a blatant assassination attempt and false accusation.
But this wasn’t just a Japanese problem.
‘China and Russia would have done more, not less.’
Suho nodded and said.
“Who came up with the idea for this project?”
“This is Vice Minister Miyamoto.”
Vice Minister Miyamoto.
Suho chewed on the name.
I can’t really think of him, so I guess he wasn’t a very important person in the past.
But if the idea comes from someone as high as a deputy minister, there is no more room for debate on the issue.
Because in the Japanese bureaucracy, there are clearly higher ranks than the Vice Minister… …such as the Political Vice Minister, Ministers, and Vice Ministers, but surprisingly, the Vice Minister is the one with the most power.
And the situation is not particularly different for the newly created agency, Ineungseong.
‘If it’s an idea from the most powerful person in the world, then there’s nothing more to look forward to.’
It would be right to give up on the Japanese corporation.
If it were just a director’s misconduct to simply receive a bribe, you could use your influence skills or whatever to roast and boil the director, but if it’s something involving the real power, the Vice Minister, there are more than one or two issues that need to be addressed.
Because all Suho wanted was a few gates that had occurred in Japan and would occur in the future.
Suho, who had reached a conclusion, looked at Hiro and said.
“Mr. Chairman, I think we need to start anew. I didn’t know the Deputy Secretary would be involved.”
“Yes, I guess that’s how it should be… … Yes? You’re going to do it again? Not giving up?”
“Yes, I’m making a new one.”
“… … ?”
Hiro looks momentarily dumbfounded at the mention of a new board.
Then he quickly closed his open mouth and continued his explanation.
“I… … Vice-President? I think the Vice-President doesn’t know much, so let me explain. In Japan, the Vice-Minister is the most powerful person in that organization.”
“Yes, I know.”
“You know?”
“Yes, and I know what the Chairman is worried about. That’s why we’re rewriting the board.”
“No, I think it’s better to give up on this project without starting a new one. If you need to make money through the raid business, I’d rather expand the raid business under Sumiyoshi’s name and transfer some of my shares to you.”
“No, I don’t need the shares. And I don’t need the raid business license anymore.”
“What do you mean? You’ve already gone through the process of establishing a corporation, and now you’re saying it’s not necessary?”
“All I wanted was a few gates. And now that I know that the Vice Minister is behind this, I don’t want to mess with Union and Sumiyoshi any more. I originally wanted to resolve things quietly and peacefully, but it seems like it’s all over the place.”
“Vice President, what are you talking about now?”
“I am not the former vice president.”
“yes?”
Things have already gone wrong.
But Sumiyoshi is necessary.
So I decided to reveal my identity at this point.
After answering, Suho released his disguise.
And the moment Soo-ho’s true face was revealed.
“… … !”
Hiro’s eyes were the biggest he’d ever seen.
Suho, who had returned as the Korean swordsman Ahn Suho and not the Union Vice President Kim Suho, only then introduced himself again.
“This is my first time seeing you, so let me introduce myself again. Nice to meet you. My name is Ahn Su-ho, head of the Special Forces Division of the Korea Hunters Association.”
“What, what is this… … .”
Hiro’s mouth opens wide.
He couldn’t say anything anymore when the real An Su-ho appeared. And.
Knock knock-
Hiro’s heart started pounding like crazy.
Suho smiled brightly and said to Hiro, who was frozen and unable to say anything.
“Shall we move to a different seat?”
“That, that’s… … Oh, yes, that’s right.”
“But before that… … .”
Suho looks around while caressing his chin.
Nine Yamaguchi Guild members.
And Director Ohta and Section Chief Nakamura.
What should we do with these reasons?
After thinking about it for a while, Suho decided to take her along.
Because the situation is too big to just kill them all here.
Of course, this only applies to Yamaguchi Guild members.
Hiro looks surprised again as Suho opens the subspace house and starts putting the guys in.
Yeah, is this your first time seeing the subspace house?
I’ve never shown myself so blatantly to anyone before.
So know it as glory.
Soon, Suho, who had collected all the Yamaguchi guys as if he was carrying luggage, woke up Manager Nakamura and used his influence skill on him as well.
And then he gave an order to Director Ohta.
“Both of you, clean up here and contact me when you get out of the ryotei.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Director Ohta answers.
With this, Suho, who had secured a perfect alibi, spoke to Hiro only after disguising himself as Kim Suho again.
“Let’s go. Now you can really move.”
“Ah, yes… … !”
Only then does Hiro follow Suho.
