Glad Smile
Why suddenly brought out Taeseong’s next chairman story?
The smuggling king said.
“If Taeseong’s family won’t distinguish status, origin, qualification, decided to hand over to a person with ability enough to lead Taeseong? Correct?”
“Didn’t know Taeseong’s inner circumstances flowed even to Busan.”
“Since I became the Young Master’s person, have to raise eyes and ears to Taeseong’s situation too.”
“Hmm.”
“Anyway said tear and eat with ability, pull in with skill, raise fully.”
The smuggling king said subtly.
“I also thinking of supporting the Young Master hard.”
“Support?”
“Yes. Materially, forcibly, with performance. Will help with ability, with skill, fully.”
The smuggling king grinned.
“The sound if needed will open my pocket, move subordinates, fill performance and become strength.”
“No, why?”
“Entering as the Young Master’s person late, have to establish this level merit to walk with shoulders open?”
“Haa?”
“What I moderately left and organized and sorted from Busan this time quite. Will try new start here.”
“Sincere?”
Grandfather didn’t hide a puzzled voice.
“Even if briefly relying on Taeseong’s shade avoiding the shower, not determined to leave when rain stops?”
“Shower······.”
To shade people like us the great disaster of public power an unavoidable shower, no, natural disaster level like typhoon.
The smuggling king nodded.
“I had some realization personally experiencing the great disaster of public power this time.”
“Realization?”
“If rolling in the shade no choice but solidly hit by the great disaster of public power.”
A bitter smile.
“Claimed built solid forces in Busan in my way.”
The smuggling king a hegemon who gripped Busan for long years.
“Calculated if weaving tightly up and down with a net and clinging like water ghost even above can’t carelessly touch.”
Large horse never dies.
The smuggling king’s choice not bad.
No, a solid defense barrier everyone envies not being able to make so.
“The great disaster of public power even sprayed bribes don’t work, high-level trap elaborately and sophisticatedly set looking down from above, cold knife cutting mercilessly tearing off limbs one by one and tightening the breath.”
The smuggling king closed eyes.
“No way to avoid. No choice but to feel powerlessness to the bone.”
The smuggling king’s sigh followed.
“Dragged to the water torture room and didn’t even receive torture or interrogation, yet in mere ten days everything carefully made for 30 years collapsed. Thoroughly searched to the bottom without even twitching one fingertip.”
A voice immersed in regret.
“Looking into no separate frog in the well.”
“Smuggling king?”
“Seemed arrogant. Realized only after caught that if the large horse caught no behind.”
The smuggling king smiled faintly.
“So cleanly accepted defeat and decided to think of behind.”
“Behind?”
“After I die, after I am caught, after I collapse. Worried about the granddaughter left alone.”
Granddaughter?
The smuggling king had a granddaughter?
“Lost son and daughter-in-law in back alley force fights rampant with knife fights.”
The smuggling king turned the head and looked at me.
“Honestly until experiencing this matter never worried about behind. How much money I have, how many people supporting my back, bribes sprayed in the meantime and solidly entangled forces······.”
Natural.
The large horse never dies net the smuggling king set so solid and dense not something easily touchable.
Even if a few places of the net torn and ripped not something easily cut.
“Even if I die or caught and collapse, convinced the net I made would protect my people.”
“Hmm.”
“Who knew. Flying guy above running guy, sky above sky, if tearing the net with greater force than force even large horse dies helplessly.”
The smuggling king said bitterly.
“Only one granddaughter left as blood relative, thought if I die even the left assets hard to manage.”
Correct words.
When Gukcheon Group scattered overnight, and the smuggling king disappeared without sound or rumor.
The smuggling king’s many assets nowhere, and no one claiming to be the smuggling king’s successor came out either.
What the smuggling organization executives grandfather couldn’t even properly grasp identities doing then.
“Guardian for the granddaughter became urgent.”
The smuggling king exhaled a long sigh and nodded.
“Thought have to pick and attach a solid figure who doesn’t get swept like a buoy even in front of the great disaster of public power, stands tall like a lighthouse and lights the way ahead.”
“So trying to enter Taeseong’s shade.”
Grandfather also exhaled a long sigh and nodded the same.
“Not only shade people get swept. Large companies like us also helpless in front of the great disaster of public power the same······.”
Countless companies scattered having bought the regime’s dislike.
Chaebol companies in the military regime era like the regime’s political fund supply places and easy-to-use workers.
“Still if wanting to cross this rough wave together nothing can’t cross? Hope the smuggling king’s active help going forward. A solid support pillar so not regret choosing Taeseong······.”
“Wrongly pointed.”
“Yes?”
“Not Taeseong but this Young Master?”
The smuggling king corrected pointing at me with a finger.
The smuggling king said even more subtly.
“Chairman Cha, think. If organizing the stocks invested in Gukcheon Group and investing in front of the Young Master?”
“Oh?”
“If organizing the mackerel fleet and deep-sea fishing boats and turning into ships to operate in the shipping company?”
“Hoho?”
“I know sea routes well, drive ships well, know smuggling routes, and do sales and lobbying quite well.”
“Hoho!”
“Taeseong’s second son operating Taeseong Distribution’s logistics center largely settled in Busan? Heard quite many difficulties? If that I can simply resolve.”
Grandfather said right, and the smuggling king smiled pleased.
“Know I tightly hold Busan Port and Busan’s yolk land?”
“Correct!”
“If determined to push Taeseong seems Taeseong can advance straight like a sail on fair wind?”
Greed young in grandfather’s eyes.
Busan a place Gukcheon Group tightly holding so quite difficult for Taeseong to take root.
But can’t give up Busan either, Busan Port digests a lot of overseas logistics volume.
Import goods entering Taeseong’s Ulsan industrial complex and export goods coming out also processed through Busan Port.
“The meaning if we join forces Taeseong’s Busan advance becomes very easy.”
“Oh!”
Wait.
Wait a minute.
I raised a hand.
“Empty mouth?”
When the proposal handed first too sweet separate schemes inside.
Indeed.
The smuggling king smiled meaningfully.
“Said. I worrying about behind.”
“Surely chose me as the granddaughter’s guardian?”
Grandfather was startled.
“No, why of all attaching our Jeong-hyeok as the granddaughter’s guardian?”
“Not okay?”
“Our Jeong-hyeok mere eight years old!”
“Good. Just our kid also eight years old.”
“Haa, does it make sense attaching an eight-year-old guardian to an eight-year-old?”
“Nothing not okay?”
The smuggling king shrugged shoulders.
“No matter how hard thinking no figure as solid and promising as this Young Master.”
“Ha?”
“How much I abandoned the base Busan and took assets and came to Seoul following the Young Master?”
“All that because of our Jeong-hyeok?”
“Of course. I invest looking at people.”
“Haa······!”
Grandfather seemed mouth blocked overwhelmed.
I nodded.
“Will consider.”
“Jeong-hyeok!”
I also know having raised Gang-u.
How much I worried so Gang-u not exposed to back alley fight boards.
“Grandfather, even booger-sized inheritance flies eat and dung flies stick and scramble occurs.”
I stared straight at the smuggling king.
“If a person with much like the smuggling king dies? How many hyena packs will bloodshot and charge. Worry natural.”
“Correct.”
“Busan flying crawling figures also won’t leave that appearance quietly.”
“Yes.”
“Trusted executives also tucked tails in front of public power and betrayed finding own way to live.”
“Searched even warehouses thoroughly and offered.”
The smuggling king made a bitter smile again.
So I no choice but to be more puzzled.
“Can’t trust even executives, can trust me?”
How many times we saw.
Exchange insufficient to discuss trust?
“Yes. Could trust.”
Nevertheless the smuggling king nodded.
Looking at me with solid gaze.
So no choice but to be more absurd.
“No, why?”
“When I prostrated saying will offer everything so only save family’s lives.”
The smuggling king white-flag surrendered.
To my threat.
“Even in a situation could snatch with force enough yet the only one who paid goods price taking care of effort fee, transport fee, risk allowance the Young Master.”
The smuggling king smiled.
“Knowing ten seeing one. Even looking like this a merchant who only handles credit transactions.”
“Even undercutting 100 million won per unit tanks to 10 million won?”
“If completely fallen for that skill will believe? If guts transacting undercutting that refreshingly dealing with me no need to see other.”
“What if gutsily undercuts the granddaughter’s back of the head?”
“If the Young Master determined to undercut the back of the head who can avoid that? I who experienced know best.”
The smuggling king laughed heartily.
“Calculating the things decided to offer to the Young Master on condition of looking after our left kid. Can say life price.”
“People different when going to the bathroom and coming out?”
“Other things maybe not but okay eating life price. Troublesome treating me the same grade as such human trash can’t even associate.”
The smuggling king bent the waist.
“I have to go to the US soon.”
Proposed to the central intelligence director.
Have to release the smuggling king to use finding Kim Hyeong-won’s hidden assets.
The smuggling king promised going over to the US and cleaning up Koreagate’s aftermath while opening Taeseong’s US distribution network, and saving Korea’s lobbyists.
“Not taking the granddaughter?”
“Quite backbone and smart kid. If keeping by the side and teaching well will do own share, so please take care well.”
The smuggling king straightened the waist.
“Will write one guardian contract?”
Anyway planned to write.
Indeed document rather than words.
Grandfather glanced with a displeased expression.
“A transaction not like the smuggling king. Not too losing business?”
“Loss? Well. I’m a style investing refreshingly for the future.”
The smuggling king making a smile full of ambition.
Grandfather also laughed greatly glad.

Blue House president’s office.
The president sat on the sofa late and tilted the liquor glass.
Royal Salute.
Not such expensive liquor overseas, but Korea maintaining protective trade keynote as a developing country hard obtaining.
Trickle.
As the president personally poured Royal Salute into the liquor glass, the Blue House security chief didn’t know what to do.
“Your Excellency, I will pour.”
“Receive.”
Because no great merit established enough for the president to bestow liquor.
The Blue House security chief continuously looked at the reaction and lifted the liquor glass with both hands.
“That Jae-guk guy these days seems mindlessly busy stirring Busan.”
Regarding the central intelligence director.
“Annoying? Shall I call and catch military spirit?”
“Leave. Drink one glass of liquor and close eyes.”
The Blue House security chief flinched.
Wondered why the president giving liquor for free.
For the central intelligence director.
“That guy definitely doing schemes and tricks in Busan. Will leave like this?”
“What schemes and tricks? Knowing wrong.”
The president smiled.
“That Jae-guk guy sent such.”
Tak.
The report document file the president offered.
The Blue House security chief urgently read.
“Ha······!”
“That Jae-guk guy, skill also good. How long since went down and seems gripped Busan at once?”
Ruling and opposition National Assembly members revealed intention of loyalty barefoot for the general election in one voice.
Busan City Hall, Busan District Prosecutors’ Office, Busan Police Station of course even local companies wrote loyalty pledges.
The reason the president greatly glad and took out liquor.
