Chapter 681: Plotting (1)
Chapter: Plotting (1)
At 4 a.m., I arrived at Choi Eun-Tae's house in Myeong-Dong. As I parked in front of the brightly lit house, Jang Ki-Ho, the youngest executive of Daeheung Savings Bank, approached with a few bodyguards.
"Hey, Chief Jung. I heard you got back from Japan?"
I stepped out of the car and greeted Jang Ki-Ho. "Yes, sir."
"Leave your car key here and head in. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Kang Gam-Chan, and Mr. Jang are waiting for you."
Usually, someone of Jang Ki-Ho's rank at Korea's top savings bank wouldn't personally come out to guide someone. But for Choi Eun-Tae, he didn't shy away from doing the dirty work. I handed my car key to the guards and followed Jang Ki-Ho.
That's when Jang Ki-Ho said casually, "To be honest... I didn't expect you to go this far. I thought only my eldest brother could take down Choi Man-Sik."
By eldest brother, he meant Choi Yung-Ho, president of Daeheung Savings Bank—a man capable of standing up to Choi Man-Sik in every way. However, in the previous timeline, he hadn't been able to overcome Choi Man-Sik. That was because Choi Man-Sik had something Choi Yung-Ho lacked: venom.
I briefly recalled those memories before the regression but pretended to know nothing.
"I was just lucky."
"Come on~ There's no need to be humble with me. Everyone, including our eldest brother, knows what you've done. But from now on... stay sharp. You're about to face things you've never dealt with before. Choi Man-Sik isn't someone who'll take this lying down."
Jang Ki-Ho made it clear that taking Hoop Entertainment public wasn't just an internal power struggle. And I knew it too. This IPO was the start of a bloody war over the fortune of Korea's richest loan shark.
