The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 300



Only Noblemtl

300.

When I heard that the Master was loyal to the Jeong family.

I had a question in mind.

-If the Master had a master, he should have brought me, his successor, to greet him.

That must be why the Master brought the executioners.

But there are still some unanswered questions.

“Then why did you just sit there and watch?”

The rudeness of the executioners.

My response.

Secretary Kim’s reaction.

“They kicked out the kids they brought to the banquet hall as if they were starving them, and they even got down on one knee to me.”

It was an inappropriate greeting.

It was a polite attitude that an old man of such age would never show to a little kid like me.

“If you didn’t have an ulterior motive, then there was no need for you to do this.”

“I will explain.”

I raised my hand.

Taesung Group executives, the people of this town, and even my uncle and his wife.

Because the people gathered at the village feast were looking this way.

“Let’s move.”

Because it seems like the story will be long.

“I know just the right place.”

“yes.”

I turned around.

The master followed me quietly.

The same goes for Secretary Kim.

‘That’s good.’

I asked Secretary Kim to do it earlier.

I was told to thoroughly investigate the five closest aides of Jeong Dong-jin who were vying to become his successor.

Since one of them came to me on his own two feet, I guess it’ll save you a lot of trouble?

‘Thanks to that, I don’t have to explain it in detail?’

That was the reason why I allowed Secretary Kim to accompany me.

Then, there were five footsteps following us stealthily.

“Are you planning to use this as educational material for your disciples this time too?”

“How dare you follow me?”

thud!

The Master struck the floor with his cane and shouted fiercely at the prisoners.

“Are you trying to embarrass me again?”

“No, Master.”

“You guys, help out with chores here! How long are you going to just stand there and watch?”

“Yes, Master.”

The executioners loitering outside the gate had to carry the garlands without making a sound.

There are gifts ordered from Taesung Chemical as well as prizes from Taesung Electronics!

Thanks to this, the heroes of Kim Jikjik and Taesung Chemical were able to enjoy the feast with peace of mind.

It was a satisfactory conclusion.

Swish.

I snuck some makgeolli and pajeon (green onion pancake) in.

Our teacher, if it’s Kongsul, he’ll wake up right away even if he’s sleeping.

* * *

A gentle breeze blew under the shade of a large tree at the entrance to the village.

All the village elders and children who used to frequent this place gathered at the banquet hall.

Could it be said that we were able to monopolize such a famous spot?

You’re lucky!

“Is this what Mr. Jeong Dong-jin meant, or is this a decision you made on your own?”

“It is my decision.”

“That’s strange.”

I tilted my head deliberately.

“Then why were my family members worried about me going to the Jeong family?”

“that······.”

The teacher soon let out a sigh.

“How much have you heard?”

That’s not it.

“Let me ask you the opposite. How much do I need to know?”

“······.”

“Who should I have heard it from?”

“······.”

The teacher opened his mouth for a moment, as if he was speechless.

“Why are you so concerned? If you were going to hesitate so much, you shouldn’t have come to me and declared your support in the first place.”

I didn’t give my teacher any consideration.

“You cut off everything in front and behind, and at a banquet where everyone was gathered, you immediately got down on one knee.”

I was angry.

“That place was a celebration of my father and mother’s wedding.”

“······.”

“It was a meeting where long-standing misunderstandings were resolved and the two families came together with one heart and one mind.”

“······.”

“You mean that was where my father’s brothers and Taesung’s executives gathered?”

another.

The most important reason why I brought you here, Master.

“What if my dad saw this?”

It was my father who ran away because he could no longer continue the Jeong family business.

The person who supported his father since he was young was his teacher.

If the two of you had met, it would have been quite an awkward situation.

“Why did you do that? Let me start by telling you the reason.”

“I can explain everything if you want, but I won’t apologize for it.”

It was a confident attitude.

“If that’s the reason why I declared my support for you right then and there, it’s as you might have guessed.”

Anyway, you too, teacher.

You can’t just leave the answer to me like that.

Also, out of habit, evaluating the judgment and insight of subordinates······ Hmm?

“Because Lord Jeonghyeok is the one who should be the head of the Jeong family.”

It was unexpected.

‘You’re just going to give me the answer without trying to figure out what I really mean?’

It was an attitude unbecoming of a teacher.

This was very similar to the attitude a loyal subordinate would have toward his master.

It was an unfamiliar face.

It was unfamiliar.

I have never seen this expression on the teacher’s face before.

“I wanted to tell you more clearly because I know what kind of position it is.”

This was the Master’s declaration of war.

“The power, influence, and loyalty of the Jeong family are still intact.”

It was a strong voice.

“All of this will be the responsibility of Master Jeonghyeok. The Jeong family lineage has not been completely cut off. I wanted to show it off to everyone.”

Pride and loyalty radiated from the Master’s entire body.

“As a member of the Jeong family, I am proud to say that I have no regrets or resentment about my actions. That is why I will not apologize.”

The master knelt down.

“So I will gladly accept the punishment.”

I was so shocked that my mouth opened wide.

A teacher who kneels before me and asks for forgiveness.

I have never seen or imagined anything like this.

Bam!

I jumped up from my seat and grabbed my teacher.

“Don’t do this.”

“Your Majesty asked me earlier. Why did you just sit back and watch?”

The teacher sighed softly.

“I had to examine in detail how they obeyed the master they were to serve for the rest of their lives.”

It was a look full of disappointment.

“Because only then can we determine its future usefulness.”

Useful?

“These are the guys who claimed to be the loyal shadows of Master Seongjun and were in charge of cleaning up the trash.”

Only then did I realize.

Why did the master, who was famous for his keen eye, take on such death row inmates as his disciples?

I’ve been wondering all along.

The executioners were brutal, cruel, persistent, and stupid.

‘Even though his father left the Jeong family, he couldn’t let go of his attachment to it and it was a plan he had prepared for the future.’

They are great people who can be useful as cleaners, but if they were to plot betrayal, it would definitely show.

I was quite good at wrapping shells.

He was not the type of person to set a trap elaborate enough to put his master in danger.

‘But our father unexpectedly became famous.’

A plane crash on New Year’s Day.

In this way, the master lost his last hope.

‘Hmm? That’s strange. Then why did you take me in?’

By that time, both my father and Mr. Jeong Dong-jin had already passed away.

But the war of succession was not over yet.

‘Besides, the death row inmates and I had very different personalities, behaviors, jobs, and learning······.’

A hypothetical situation suddenly occurred to me.

I just clenched my fist.

‘Wait a minute! Could it be that the real reason I was kicked out when I was falsely accused was······?’

The series of questions that had been going on and on was suddenly cut off.

“My explanation ends here. Everything is according to your will, Young Master.”

It was because the teacher was lying face down on the floor.

Just once in my life.

It was the first and last time I did it in front of King Yeomra.

It was a desperate attitude of a weak person, facing the wrath of the absolute power, appealing for leniency.

“Get up.”

“I will obey your command.”

But he was still on his knees.

Your attitude is so unbecoming of a teacher.

I just couldn’t help but sigh.

“Don’t do that, come here.”

Bang bang!

“Please sit down.”

“yes.”

Why is the posture just right?

Are you planning on kneeling on the floor?

“Then I will sit in the same seat as you, sir. That is the etiquette of the Cha family.”

Okay.

Only then did the master sit down properly on the bench.

An inexplicable smile spread across the face looking at me.

“Master Seongjun was like that too.”

The Master’s eyes seemed to be wandering back to some point in the past.

“He was a very affectionate and deep person.”

I know.

“He was smart, cool-headed, bold, and had quick judgment and hands.”

The master’s memories were running towards his father.

I wanted to give you a moment to reflect on the past.

“When that person kicked out the Jeong family······.”

Woah woah.

Let’s stop there.

match.

I clapped my hands to get their attention.

“That’s not what’s important right now. You haven’t properly answered my question yet.”

“······Phew.”

Look at this.

It’s clear that you deliberately jumped over it stealthily, like a snake jumping over a wall.

I’ve been with the Master once or twice.

But the teacher pretended not to know and just ignored it.

“Did I forget to ask a question? Ugh, I’m so old I can’t remember.”

“I’ll ask again. Is this what Elder Jeong Dong-jin intended, or is it your own decision?”

“I remember giving you a clear answer to that.”

It was a decision I made on my own.

I waved my index finger from side to side.

“Why were my family worried about me going to the Jeong family? You should tell me the real story behind this question.”

“that······.”

“How much should I know, and who should I ask? I don’t think there is anyone more qualified to answer these questions than you, sir.”

The teacher quickly turned to look at Secretary Kim.

“Secretary Kim, am I the only one who is confused by this situation?”

“This isn’t the first or second time this has happened to me. I guess it’s just the way it is now.”

“Our young master, how old did you say you were this year?”

“You were seven six months ago, so you’re eight now.”

“······.”

It was a question and answer I had heard often.

The teacher’s eyes narrowed.

“Secretary Kim, be honest. Is this your trick?”

“What are you talking about? I had nothing to do with it.”

“Is this the heart of an eight-year-old child?”

“If you’ve been treated like that, you should know by now. Why are you doing this again?”

“What the hell did I get treated like that······.”

“Woo Kwang Construction bribery ledger, subway line 2 station information, year-end party sponsorship, horse head collection, and even big bank investments.”

“······.”

“Shall I continue reciting?”

“······That’s enough! That’s enough.”

“Actually, wasn’t that something you had already guessed at that time?”

Secretary Kim added with a cold expression.

“So, you volunteered to launder the young master’s slush funds. You even took a lot of money by handing over the young master’s collection to Taesung Gallery.”

He had asked for a large sum of 100 million won for the errand.

In fact, if you look closely, it was a losing business for the teacher.

“You must have already confirmed how the young master obtained a loan certificate from the foolish man.”

The Master also volunteered to take on the task of extracting interest from the poor.

“You have already completed the verification of your ability a long time ago, so why did you suddenly come here and declare your support for the successor?”

The teacher looked back at me and bowed his head politely.

“Have you heard? I think this should be enough of an answer.”

“Huh?”

Secretary Kim, who had been used, let out an absurd laugh.

Whatever.

The teacher quietly adjusted his clothes.

“Then that’s it for the answer. That’s all.”

“It’s not over yet?”

Are you trying to sneakily skip over something important this time too?

“I definitely understand why you support me, sir. But was that even possible in the first place?”

I knocked on the floor.

“That’s why I asked you outright. Is this what Elder Jeong Dong-jin meant?”

“······.”

“If a person who has a master in his care carelessly declares support against his master’s wishes, he knows that he will not be able to avoid punishment.”

“······.”

“Why did you do that?”

It was a foolish thing.

That was the real reason why I brought the Master here to dissuade him and pressure him.

“If you get caught like that, you won’t be able to avoid death.”

I already owed my life to the Master once in my previous life.

Even if I was falsely accused, beaten, and kicked out with my bare hands.

Even though I have devoted my life to the Master all this time.

There was still a debt left that had not been fully repaid.

“So I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”

“I made this public declaration in front of people just in case that happened.”

It was a plot that I had already guessed.

But I really wanted to hear it from the teacher’s own mouth.

Because he was a person who rarely revealed his true feelings.

“Why would you risk your precious life for me? We are not in a position to discuss such loyalty.”

We tried to help each other and survive among the players on this floor.

It’s too early to talk about the loyalty that comes with a life-or-death partnership.

“Is it because I am the only bloodline of the Jeong family?”

“That is also a reason that cannot be overlooked······.”

The teacher asked solemnly, as if he had made a firm decision.

“Can I be honest with you?”

That’s exactly what I wanted.

Top secret information that only insiders on the front lines of the battlefield would know!

The decisive reason why you bet on me like you were gambling your life!

The inside story of a world filled with blood and sorrow, where people die for money and conspiracy!

I pricked up my ears.

“Invitation to the New Year’s Eve Party.”

hmm?

“That was the decisive reason why I made up my mind.”

It was unexpected.
