Chapter 87
Jae-Hyeok was someone who suffered from attempted kidnappings even inside Lion’s Castle. Normally, he had no intention of leaving Lion’s Castle and taking even greater risks.
Of course, that’s when I’m on my own. This situation is different.
The Gugang Group had offered an astronomical sum of money, so it was understandable for many Shooting Club members to mobilize—and since most people didn’t know about Jae-Hyeok’s connection with the Shooting Club, his leaving disguised as an ordinary club member should go undetected.
It’s unlikely that information about my outing will leak.
This was an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. The commission fee was a windfall, but that was only a secondary benefit. Jae-Hyeok predicted that the impact of this commission would be huge.
If the Association-hating Gugang Group stopped the gate outbreak without help from the Association, it would signal the complete severance between the two organizations, publicly damaging the Association’s reputation and perhaps emboldening other forces to resist.
In addition, the Gugang Group will want to establish a relationship with the Shooting Club after it has proven its skills.
Overall, this was an opportunity to both weaken the Association and increase his own influence.
Jae-Hyeok also double-checked the information of the Gugang International Group. As a five-star hotel, it had many famous restaurants, and among them included a fine-dining restaurant called Hirai.
Ocean. The skyrocketing commission fee was most likely their doing. A slight smile spread across Jae-Hyeok’s face as he got ready.
