Episode 168
Seoul, New Korea.
There was the headquarters of Taesan Electronics, which is responsible for one axis of the new Korean economy.
Lee Jeong-su, president of Taesan Electronics and vice chairman of Taesan Group.
His expression crumpled.
Wow. Wow.
He tore up the newspaper he was holding and threw it into the air.
Taehyun’s torn face fluttered.
Wow.
“Of course, I should have caught it when it was a baby… .”
He gritted his teeth, admitting his mistake.
Even when he was having trouble with his son Lee Jeong-jae, I thought he was just that kind of guy.
But now Kim Tae-hyun’s presence surpassed the entire Taesan Group.
Quang.
Lee Jeong-soo hit the desk roughly.
A desk worth tens of millions of won was instantly crushed by his fist.
‘We can’t turn the situation around like this.’
As an entrepreneur, he had excellent situational judgment.
early.
He realized that the future era cannot be ruled by capital alone.
‘The world of the future is about power, not capital.’
I didn’t know if it was because I had an S-class body from birth.
I felt confident.
That times will change rapidly.
Capital that is not accompanied by military force will fall.
He did not choose the player’s path to lead Taesan Group.
Nevertheless, we invited outstanding players and continued physical training.
That’s why he had the power equivalent to an S-class player without even having a player license.
He acquired one of the greatest military forces in the new Korea.
He immediately put the establishment of the Taesan Guild into action.
However.
‘Damn association bastards.’
The four major guilds, including Association President Ji Jin-hee, were keeping an eye on Lee Jeong-soo’s moves.
Their interference was unusual.
We found out about Lee Jeong-soo’s ambition to swallow up the industry with capital behind him.
Association President Ji Jin-hee immediately pushed for legislation and tightened Lee Jeong-su’s neck.
There are restrictions on recruiting guilds that are not recognized by the Players Association.
While the establishment of the Taesan Guild was delayed, the player industry grew rapidly.
His vision was right, but he missed the important timing.
That was why Lee Jeong-soo joined hands with the malicious guild.
Those who do not have a player license, but their skills are higher than most players.
You may be caught as a criminal, but that can be done by leading with great power.
‘I know that a good leader must know how to control those under him.’
Taesan Guild was separated from Taesan Group and launched as a small guild.
Afterwards, he devoted his efforts to his son Lee Jeong-jae.
He inherited his blood more strongly than anyone else.
A child born with an S-class body.
Lee Jeong-su hired excellent players and helped Lee Jeong-jae grow.
In the future, Konkuk High School was sponsored to recruit excellent talent for Taesan Guild.
After joining hands with the malicious guild, everything went as planned.
The crack began when damn Kim Tae-hyun awakened.
His potential level is unknown, but he is a non-awakened person who has not been awakened until he turns nineteen.
As he revealed his teeth, the situation changed drastically.
The Players Association, which was supposed to be weakened, was getting stronger day by day, and with the disintegration of the malicious guild, the power of the Taesan Guild was also cut in half.
More than anything.
Lee Jeong-jae, who must lead the Taesan Guild.
The biggest problem was that my stupid son couldn’t overcome his trauma.
‘Kim Tae-hyun. ‘This guy won’t feel good even if he chews it.’
This was when Lee Jeong-su was cursing so much.
Slurp.
Lee Jeong-soo’s body startled at the sudden presence.
When I turned around, a man was there.
It was a ‘shadow’.
“Your face was hurt a lot while I wasn’t able to see you.”
“Are you here?”
Jeongsoo Lee said without showing any sign of discomfort.
Even if he does not have a license, if he is at the level of an S-class player, he has the power of what is called a national power level.
The leader of the Triad and the vice-guild leader of the Malicious Guild.

A man who cannot be caught even though Nightwalker and the Players Association are pursuing him with all their might.
That was the shadow before my eyes.
“What happened today… ?”
Recently, surveillance by the Night Walkers and the Association has intensified.
We were not supposed to meet except on certain days.
“Oh, don’t worry. “I was able to successfully evade the chase.”
“… … .”
“I heard your son is graduating in a few days.”
“That half-penny guy won’t even be able to go to the graduation ceremony. Because of damn Kim Taehyun.”
Jeongsoo Lee responded as if he was annoyed just thinking about it.
“I understand that feeling. “There is nothing greater than infidelity.”
Saying that, the shadow took something out of its chest.
It was a potion contained in a transparent case.
“What is this?”
“It’s your son’s graduation present.”
“… … ?”
“Depth of the Abyss. There are many monsters with mysterious powers there. “The blood of one of them was purified.”
“The blood of monsters… why… ?”
Lee Jeong-soo asked without hiding his surprised expression.
Even though it is purified, the blood of monsters is not something humans should consume.
This is because the body melts due to the terrible fraud, or explodes due to the magical power that it cannot handle.
This was a fact that had already been proven through numerous experiments.
“You don’t have to worry. This is a product that has undergone sufficient testing ‘behind the scenes’. “Your son will be able to jump over walls with just that potion.”
“… … !!”
Lee Jeong-su’s body twitched without realizing it.
It was as if he knew what he was thinking.
‘He’s a scary man as expected. but.’
Therefore, there was no need to refuse further.
There is no need for Lee Jung-jae now.
Jeongsoo Lee put the potion into his arms.
“Let’s use it well.”
“Hehe. “I hope the vice president is satisfied.”
“What’s going on on the ‘other side’?”
“Sooner or later, Taesan Pharmaceutical’s stock price will soar. “It would be better to prepare in advance.”
“Hoo. Are we finally moving?”
The corners of Lee Jeong-su’s mouth rose.
He did not join hands with a malicious guild simply to grow the Taesan guild.
“Kim Tae-hyun and Ji Jin-hee. In the end, the two will meet a miserable end.”
“ha ha ha. That’s really nice to hear. “I look forward to it.”
For the first time in recent months.
Lee Jeong-soo burst out in a happy laugh.
In the end, I think I am the one who laughs last.

Konkuk High School’s 53rd graduation ceremony.
It’s February and there are graduation ceremonies everywhere, but the atmosphere at Konkuk High School was especially chaotic.
It was because of reporters filling up all over the school.
“awesome… This is my first time seeing so many reporters come to my graduation ceremony.
Jaeyoung opened his mouth and muttered.
Taehyun’s aunt and uncle also nodded and agreed.
“I know… “This is my first time doing something like this.”
“honey. “I think Taehyun has become a big person, right?”
“Iknow, right. “Let’s go in quickly.”
The three people bowed their faces and headed toward the graduation ceremony.
‘and… How can a person’s life change so much in just one year? .’
Jaeyoung shook his head and walked away.
This was when the three people reached the entrance to the graduation ceremony hall.
“Uh, aren’t those people Kim Tae-hyun’s family?!!”
“Oh, right!! “You said you lived with your aunt’s family!!”
“hey!! Can I interview you for a moment? .”
“hey!! “I was waiting first!!”
In an instant, reporters surrounded the area.
This is because employees dispatched by the association are controlling the entrance, so they have not yet been able to get any decent news coverage.
To them, Taehyeon’s relatives were good prey.
“Ugh. “Those bastards.”
“That’s why you casually take pictures of civilians.”
The three people were momentarily embarrassed by the actions of reporters pointing cameras at them.
“wait a minute. You can’t do this here.”
The association player who followed late peeled away the reporters surrounding the three people.
“now. “Let’s go in.”
“Ah yes… .”
“Let’s go in, honey.”
“I’ll pass… .”
A relative of SS-rank player Kim Tae-hyun.
Once again realizing their position.
Three people entered the graduation ceremony hall.
* * *
Murmur.
Graduates and parents.
In addition, family relatives came to see the two celebrities.
It was a graduation ceremony attended by an unprecedented number of people in the history of Konkuk High School.
“Graduate valedictorian Kim Tae-hyeon. from now on.”
“Graduate valedictorian Lim A-young. from now on.”
Two people received certificates as representatives of graduates and read graduation acceptance speeches in turn.
“This concludes the 53rd Konkuk High School graduation ceremony.”
Wow.
When the graduation ceremony ended, the children smiled brightly.
It was the same for Taehyun.
* * *
“brother… It’s really cool… .”
Jaeyoung said while looking at the certificate full of Taehyun in his hand.
“If you’re that envious, then you should do well in school too.”
Contrary to what was said, it was not an award I received for doing well in school.
There are dozens of achievements accumulated through player activities.
At the same time, the reputation of his school, Konkuk High School, increased, and most of the awards were given for raising the status of the school.
‘I can’t believe I can skip school and still get a prize. The world has become so much better.’
While I was thinking that, Lim Ah-young approached me.
Behind them were those who appeared to be her parents.
Ayoung and Taehyun greeted each other’s families.
“I feel reassured that I have such an amazing nephew.”
Ayoung’s mother.
Mrs. Chaeyoung Yoon said with a friendly smile.
The couple, who recognized them as celebrities in the business world, were embarrassed and expressed their gratitude.
While Mrs. Chaeyoung Yoon was dealing with three other people.
“Taehyun. I am Ayoung’s father. “It’s nice to meet you like this.”
Ahyoung’s father.
Lim Chang-yong, Vice Chairman of Yook Sung Group, offered to shake hands.
“I am familiar with the name. Nice to meet you.”
Taehyun said, holding his hand.
“I heard a lot from Ayoung. “Thanks to talented people like Taehyun, the future of our new Korea will be bright.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Even though Lim Chang-yong was the head of a large company, he used the honorific title.
Regardless of age, the size of the bowl was determined.
‘If only I could make Taehyun my son-in-law… .’
Yookyung Group will soon become the best in the world.
I felt that confident.
“If it’s okay, I’d like to have a meal with my family…” “Can you give me some time?”
Lim Chang-yong politely suggested.
‘It’s a nurturing group… There’s no harm in knowing.’
The thought didn’t last long.
“of course. “Let’s schedule a time.”
“Thank you. “I’ll make a reservation for you somewhere nice.”
At that time, Lim Chang-yong called his secretary and tried to coordinate the schedule.
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth turned up playfully.
“Ah, but if it’s a family, does that mean guild leader Yoo Ah-young is also there?”
“… … .”
Vice Chairman Lim Chang-yong’s mouth closed at the unexpected words.
Ms. Chaeyoung Yoon was talking for a while next to her.
And the same thing happened to Lim Ah-young, who was watching quietly.
“Oh, did I say something wrong?”
Taehyun asked with an innocent expression, not paying attention to the cold atmosphere.
After a while.
“then… “I’ll see you later.”
Vice Chairman Lim Chang-yong and First Lady Yoon Chae-young turned around with stern expressions.
“Kim Tae-hyun.”
Ayoung approached as if she had something to say.
“Lim Ah-young. “We’ll see during the next attack.”
“… … .”
Although I am now an equal graduate student.
In private, the party leader and party members were exchanging orders.
“… okay.”
Ayoung left the graduation ceremony with her family without saying much.
“Whoa… I was so nervous I thought I was going to die. A nurturing group… .”
Jaeyoung muttered under his breath.
It was the same with my aunt and uncle.
“Thank you for coming today.”
“Oh, no. “It’s my nephew’s graduation ceremony, so of course I have to come.”
“okay… Of course you should come. I was embarrassed when I met someone I didn’t expect… .”
Taehyun chuckled while looking at them.
‘This must be a real family.’
Far away.
I saw Ayoung’s family leaving the school under escort.
“Then would you like to go home first? “I’m going to take a quick look around the school and then go back.”
My aunt and uncle nodded.
“huh? “Where are you going?”
Jaeyoung asked as if he was curious.
Sssssssuk.
Taehyun’s body had already disappeared.
Before reporters stormed in.
There was one last place I wanted to go.
