Chapter 98

This Is Precisely the Kill List!

[Waaa!]

The underworld messenger shouted with both hands tightly clasped.

[Really can replay the passed serial drama! This is a miracle!]

The underworld messenger’s eyes sparkled.

[Exactly the same as His Majesty turning back time!]

The underworld messenger hugged the television while moved.

Even so, the television screen was visible beyond the transparent body the same.

[From now on, you are my treasure number 1, you are my treasure number 2, I order!]

The underworld messenger stroked the Philips VCR.

To wipe without one dust with the black robe sleeve.

Even so, the transparent sleeve just passed through, but.

‘What is the daily serial drama all.’

I shook my head.

‘So good?’

[Of course. Too good!]

The underworld messenger continuously burst into a big smile.

[Is there anything special in life? Accumulating small happiness is the best.]

Is laughter contagious.

I ended up smiling gently without realizing.

‘Small happiness.’

[For example, meeting the parents you lost early again and picking bean sprout heads while warming the back in a warm room corner?]

‘······.’

[Looking back, you have enjoyed truly peaceful and luxurious days in the meantime. Unlike the past.]

Yes, you spoke well!

‘Who did I get the traitor false accusation because of in the past?’

[······.]

‘Losing parents early and having no relatives, abandoned in the back alleys from seven years old and lived a dirty life unlucky and hard!’

[······.]

‘Heavenly punishment?’

The underworld messenger who was already kneeling trembled and pointed at the VCR and said.

[I, will offer this so can see?]

Will abandon treasure number 2?

[If insufficient, can offer even this······.]

The underworld messenger pointed at the television that was treasure number 1 with an expression as if about to cry.

I snorted a laugh.

‘Saw. Put the treasures in. They are yours.’

[A magnanimous person!]

The underworld messenger clasped both hands with a moved expression.

[So His Majesty said a soul shining like a jewel. A person who cut the ticket to heaven with his own strength even after receiving heavenly punishment. Indeed······!]

The underworld messenger stood up abruptly.

[Anyway when going to the underworld to investigate Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s sin this time, obtained very important information! This underworld messenger will definitely for you······!]

Ding dong. Ding dong ding dong.

It was our house’s doorbell sound.

Yu Jong-tae who is a quick-witted security guard and claims to be my hands and feet ran as if flying and reported.

“Secretary Kim has come.”

Anyway was waiting.

But the underworld messenger’s words were also curious.

[The underworld matter this underworld messenger will handle himself so don’t mind. Then this underworld messenger the remaining serial drama······.]

Yu Jong-tae reported.

“But something is a bit strange.”

“What’s strange?”

“Not coming to offer a bribe like usual but says came to gratefully receive a gift.”

Yu Jong-tae approached closely and whispered small.

“If Secretary Kim, not a person who would run like this for an ordinary gift. What gift is it on earth, can I ask? Of course this Yu Jong-tae is a guy who prioritizes trust over curiosity······.”

“A kill list to send to the Blue House?”

“Have a good time.”

Yu Jong-tae who bowed and greeted fled without looking back.

As expected quick-witted.

If a person whose level doesn’t match like Yu Jong-tae claims to be an errand runner, might have suffered the appearance of catching the Blue House security chief and burying in some night mountain leaving only the neck.

I like a guy who takes care of his own life well himself!

* * *

Secretary Kim went straight to my room.

“Young Master, did you see the news flash?”

A flash containing the appearance of U-gwang affiliate presidents being escorted out from Chairman Kim of U-gwang’s mansion.

“Chairman Kim of U-gwang seems to have started a large-scale purge in this opportunity.”

Secretary Kim’s expression was quite serious.

“It was an exquisite method. Thinking of escaping after turning the interest of public opinion using the affiliate presidents as sacrificial lambs.”

“Would that be fortunate if only that?”

“Yes? But Young Master, now as U-gwang, no particular other method to escape······.”

“Even if turning the arrow to the U-gwang affiliate presidents, the point that U-gwang is the problem doesn’t change.”

“······Right.”

“Since already stamped by the Blue House, Chairman Kim of U-gwang would want to put out a more certain shield.”

“If what the Blue House fears, only public sentiment. Public sentiment turned its back to U-gwang, where is there a certain shield that U-gwang can put forward?”

“Taeseong.”

Secretary Kim’s complexion instantly hardened.

“U-gwang believes the words that a large horse doesn’t die. Taeseong is business world ranking 5th, U-gwang is 9th.”

“Our Taeseong and U-gwang even the engagement was broken. Why does Taeseong have to stand together with U-gwang and receive side glances? No need to do so.”

“So U-gwang will try to bite and hold desperately. What choice to live.”

“Surely······!”

As expected Secretary Kim!

A man who pierces the core right away with one word.

“The words of using the string of Taeseong Chemicals?”

“There is the contract. If driving grandfather saying Taeseong plotted such a matter to snatch U-gwang Chemicals and U-gwang Securities?”

“The words of intending to pull even the chairman into U-gwang’s gutter?”

“If U-gwang alone, might not know, but if tying Taeseong together, becomes the state that one axis of the national economy collapses. So that the Blue House has no choice but to close eyes.”

“Taeseong has no relation to the U-gwang fire. Can’t tolerate even one point of suspicion. No reason to fall out of the Blue House’s eyes without a sin committed, no reason to receive a beating together with U-gwang!”

“When did the Blue House distinguish the existence of sin? From the moment buying suspicion, from the moment going against the mood, falls out of the Blue House’s eyes.”

That is the picture that Chairman Kim is aiming for.

Secretary Kim’s gaze sank coldly and heavily.

“Now seem to know the reason the Young Master decided to use the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger.”

Have to cut first from this side so that U-gwang can’t bite and hold.

Secretary Kim held out the document envelope first instead of taking off the coat.

“A copy. This side sorted the political enemies of the Blue House secretary chief, that side sorted the political enemies of the Blue House security chief.”

I took out the documents from the document envelope.

A pile of documents with shit light.

Among them, a particularly eye-catching name came out.

‘Seomun something!’

Central Intelligence Agency inspection bureau affiliated agent Seomun-cheol.

A guy who dragged Uncle Cheol-gu to the Seobinggo water torture room and tortured in the peeked future, and a person who tried to pull out Bulgwang-dong Gasoline receiving U-gwang’s instigation.

‘Yes, if so loyal to U-gwang, how much would have received usually? More strange that not on the U-gwang Construction bribe receipt list.’

Looking now, because his name was up on the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger, tried to murder and silence Uncle Cheol-gu!

There the Central Intelligence Agency inspection bureau chief who is Seomun-cheol’s superior was also together.

This really went well.

“Secretary Kim, put these guys in both sides.”

“Yes. Anyway guys put in both sides. Trying to blow away U-gwang’s front runners with the Blue House’s knife in this opportunity.”

“Very good.”

Borrowing a knife to kill a person.

This is a word I like very much.

I couldn’t hide a contented smile and turned to the next list.

‘Eh?’

Surprised.

Discovered one with golden light among the dark shit light documents.

‘Not just golden light······. First time seeing red light that ripples so ominously.’

The color was mixed.

‘Whose document is this on earth? ······This.’

Surely didn’t think this guy was among the people that U-gwang Construction fed bribes.

‘Army Security Command commander.’

The closest aide that the current president who seized the regime with a military coup planted to check the army, and a man who holds all army side information in one hand.

An ambitious person who succeeded another military coup based on him holding all domestic and foreign information taking the gap that the Central Intelligence Agency was paralyzed because the Central Intelligence Agency director was pointed as the presidential assassination assassin.

“A real power among real powers reaching 4th in the current regime’s ranking. One of the four pillars supporting the owner of the Blue House, and the force of course even His Excellency’s trust is great.”

Didn’t know this name would pop out from the Blue House security chief’s political enemy list.

‘Well, to take care of the pockets of the subordinates affiliated with the army Ilshimhoe, a lot of back money would have been needed. No need to refuse U-gwang’s support.’

A document with golden light.

I took out only the Army Security Command commander’s document.

‘This hold for now.’

Checked the next document.

‘Ha······!’

This one also had black light that was dark beyond measure mixed and surging in the middle of golden light.

‘This side also the color is mixed? Who is this again?’

Took out the document and checked the name.

This time the Central Intelligence Agency director popped out right away.

“He is also a real power among real powers. The Central Intelligence Agency director’s current ranking is 3rd. One step higher than the Army Security Command commander.”

I took out the Central Intelligence Agency director’s document too for now and looked.

“Hmm.”

Placed the two documents side by side on the floor.

One side golden light with red light, the other side golden light with black light.

‘Considering power and influence, absolutely a big shot among big shots that shouldn’t be touched.’

If the political enemies of the Blue House security chief who is the number 2, no way trivial guys.

Army Security Command commander ranked 4th, Central Intelligence Agency director ranked 3rd.

The reason I repeated deep thought even crossing arms.

“If all these are missing, only small fries remain. No way the Blue House security chief would show interest in a bribe ledger that can catch only a few small fries.”

“Right.”

Had to decide.

The person to put under the blade of the purge.

“Secretary Kim, if assuming this bribe ledger enters the Blue House, would carry out a purge with the close aide receiving a few pennies?”

The owner of this Blue House has no contact with me in the past so don’t know well.

Died when I was young, how would have gotten entangled.

What I read about him was just stories transmitted in history, and even that would have been anecdotes or achievements selectively chosen according to the regime’s taste.

Rather wanted to hear the view of Secretary Kim who actually saw and experienced him.

“A great person who would make a bold decision to cut hands and feet without even a decisive hateful hair like signs of betrayal or conspiracy of rebellion?”

“Well. How would I dare guess the inside of the Blue House owner.”

How deep the emotional gap between them, how much the intertwined favors and grudges, I can’t guess.

“He is a person better not to touch. Because the obsession with establishing ranking and power is terrifying.”

A person who even when drinking one cup of alcohol in private, stands the ministers against the wall and tells to prove the qualification.

“For that reason, paid attention to the interests of the Blue House security chief and secretary chief and extracted the list.”

Secretary Kim’s words became more subtle.

“No matter how great a person, not all ears are open.”

Reasonable words.

The arm bends inward, and eyes and ears are covered by close aides. For one’s own private interests.

So the worry deepened more.

Tick tock time flowed well.

“When looked good to the real power, would see large gain, but when looked bad, might fall into the abyss in an instant.”

Like U-gwang.

“The U-gwang Construction bribe list will transform into a list of political enemy purge.”

Because a gift sent for that.

“If the Blue House security chief doesn’t move even the owner of the Blue House and chase them out at once, might have to bear the aftermath as Taeseong.”

To lessen my worry, Secretary Kim opened his mouth.

“Young Master, the Blue House calls major figures from all walks of life every new year and receives reports or discusses.”

“Speaking of the new year luncheon gathering?”

“If the new year luncheon gathering that political figures participate in, for major figures of the military and Central Intelligence Agency, there is a new year report meeting.”

Oh!

“The Army Security Command commander will also head to the Blue House soon to report the army’s information. Maybe tomorrow or the day after.”

Secretary Kim added.

“The Central Intelligence Agency director who holds domestic and foreign information is also scheduled to attend the same place.”

As expected Secretary Kim!

With Secretary Kim’s words, my long and heavy worry ended.

Secretary Kim let out a low exclamation.

“As expected. Made the same conclusion as the chairman.”

Grandfather too?

* * *

Thanks to Secretary Kim, finding out the promised place and time was as easy as eating cold porridge.

The underworld messenger looked around the Taeseong Hotel Japanese restaurant once.

“Honored to serve the security chief like this.”

In the room used by VIP guests, grandfather tilted the ceramic teapot with warmed refined rice wine.

Pour.

Warmed refined rice wine was filled enough to ripple in the white ceramic cup with an orchid drawn.

The Blue House security chief drank the refined rice wine in one go.

“Prepared thick sincerity?”
