Chapter 312
Ha Dae-Chul was at a loss for words at the absurdity of the statement. It was so absurd that he couldn’t even muster a response. A mere civil servant daring to speak like that to a member of the National Assembly? That wasn’t confidence; it was sheer arrogance. The difference in status was as vast as the sky and the earth.
He couldn’t help but smirk. Where is that confidence coming from?
It was laughable, too ridiculous to even be angry about. Still, this small fry couldn’t have made such a statement without reason.
Falling silent for a moment, Ha Dae-Chul tried to analyze the situation. What gave Do-Jun the nerve to act so brazenly? Did he have something up his sleeve that was capable of delivering a fatal blow?
A memory flashed through his mind of the private meeting with Cheol-Soo, Section Chief of the Fissure Management Division, just the night before. During that meeting, he had made the considerable mistake of admitting to running illegal workshops through Hunters to line his pockets. Another slip-up was probably slapping Cheol-Soo across the face.
They’re both in the Fissure Management Division, so he must’ve heard from the Section Chief. Ha Dae-Chul realized.
He decided to wait and see what cards Do-Jun had. If those records were all he had, there was no need to worry.
“Assemblyman, you arranged for Hunters from Shark Guild to set up an illegal workshop inside the Banpo-dong Fissure,” Do-Jun stated.
There it is!
Of course. Ha Dae-Chul scoffed inwardly. Was that the best he could do with his so-called threat? It wouldn’t even leave a scratch on his sturdy politician’s body.
Feigning shock, Ha Dae-Chul widened his eyes. He stammered on purpose, “H-how did you know about that?”
“Wow, you’re admitting it pretty quickly, Assemblyman.”
