The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 312
Only Noblemtl
312. Southeast Skunk
Mrs. Kkachisan Bang asked.
“If the reason you came to see us before going to see the elders is… … wasn’t it because you coveted the position of the next head of the Jeong family?”
Even Maljukgeori tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what was being said.
“If you don’t plan on recruiting us in advance and usurping the position of leader, then there’s no need to go through all this trouble… … .”
“Tsk tsk, this is it. Everyone was so mistaken.”
The Myeongdong Songolmae clicked its tongue.
“The master is the one who sent an invitation to the New Year’s Eve party to the four of us a long time ago.”
“Why is that?”
“You’re saying that you already had a clear idea of the four of us at that time.”
Everyone flinched.
After hearing the words of the Myeongdong Songgolmae, questions that I had never thought of before began to arise in my head.
“Yeah, it was weird. How did you know my house location so well?”
The House of Maljukgeori Maldaegari was an illegal private gambling house.
This refers to information that is difficult for the general public to obtain.
“Out of all these real estate agents, why did you come to the one run by the shit fly from Ewaksan?”
Mrs. Kkachisan Bang looked at the dung fly from Eowaksan who was in charge of the best fortune telling room.
The fly on Mount Ewak opened its mouth as if to testify.
“Even back then, that young master came with Secretary Kim. He had an excellent eye for real estate properties that was unusual for his age, he was well-versed in market prices, and he seemed to be good at intimidation.”
The more I talk, the more I get the hang of it.
He even added words to the Songgolmae in Myeongdong.
“What about the pawn shop? Not only did he bring Kim Young-geol to prove his identity, but he also negotiated with me and even auctioned off the bribe ledger from Wookwang Construction.”
“What? The Wookwang Construction bribe ledger?”
“I won’t go into more detail about how the bribery ledger of Wookwang Construction was used in Taesung, since you will have already confirmed it at the New Year’s Eve party.”
The two women, Maljukgeori and Magpie Mountain, opened their mouths wide.
“That little master was the one who silenced the mouths of the political and business world, as well as the broadcasting and media world?”
“Didn’t you say that you replaced the president of Taesung Construction because of that bribery ledger?”
“I heard that Wookwang Construction, which had an advantageous position in the bidding competition for Subway Line 2, went down because of that?”
“Because the bribery ledger of Wookwang Construction was uploaded all the way to the Blue House, not only did the head of Wookwang Group change, but the new head is said to be treated like a dog.”
Everyone stuck out their tongues.
“oh my god.”
“No, how on earth did you get hold of that ledger?”
Fortunately, that was a question that Myeongdong Songolmae could answer.
“They say you stole top secret information from inside the palace.”
“… … !”
The more I listened, the more amazed I became.
“That was the information from the central court?”
“Even stealing it?”
A hollow laugh followed automatically.
“You must have heard. The Inspector General and his subordinates were replaced in large numbers because of that incident.”
“Wow! This is so cool.”
Mrs. Kkachisan Bang continued in a trembling voice.
“So, that little lord, who is only eight years old, planted an informant inside the palace… … .”
“It’s already been half a year since you brought me that ledger. By the way, you were seven years old then.”
“What? That’s ridiculous!”
“Do you know how the young master roasted Kim Young-geol?”
“Kim Young-geol?”
There was a lot of talk among the chaebol families about how capable Kim Young-geol was.
Secretary Kim Young-geol was the chairman’s closest confidant and also the man in charge of the group’s dirty work.
For that reason, the name Kim Young-geol has been heard for a long time in this world.
“I saw it myself! The attitude of Kim Young-geol now is completely different from when he first came to the pawn shop.”
The Myeongdong Songgolmae smiled, one corner of his mouth raised.
“The little master picked up and put down Kim Young-geol, grabbed and released him, and played with him skillfully and freely.”
“Who would want to toy with Kim Young-geol?”
“So. You held an auction at a pawn shop and forcibly pierced Kim Young-gul’s nose?”
“her!”
“Think about it. Who do you think the Wookwang Construction bribery ledger ended up in? Me or Kim Young-geol?”
“Of course it would have ended up in Taesung’s hands.”
The result was something we had already seen, heard, and experienced.
“If there had been no bribery ledger from Wookwang Construction, do you think Taesung Construction would have won the bid for Subway Line 2?”
Taesung Construction has emerged as the top construction company in Korea by winning the bid for subway line 2.
“Can you get the answer just by looking at Taesung’s Kim Young-geol’s attitude toward you?”
“her!”
Was Taesung’s Kim Young-geol really that easygoing?
He was a great man who almost became the youngest president of Taesung’s affiliated company.
“Do you know that Kim Young-geol has never shown such a polite attitude to Lord Seong-jun?”
“surely.”
Every time Myeongdong Songgolmae spoke, everyone just let out a similar empty laugh.
But the eyes were sparkling more and more.
Because I was very interested.
“I heard that Master Seongjun and Kim Younggeol clashed a lot over little things.”
“Why else would there have been rumors that Kim Young-geol had Young Master Seong-jun chased away to the Middle East?”
“I heard a rumor that Master Seongjun knelt down to Kim Young-geol.”
“That’s nonsense! Master Seongjun is kneeling? He would have rather had his head cut off. There’s no way he would have done that!”
Clap, clap, clap!
As the voices grew louder, Myeongdong Songgolmae clapped his hands to draw attention.
“The point is this. Lord Jeonghyeok has made up his mind to negotiate with you.”
Everyone’s expression became serious.
“So you are saying that your majesty wants the Jeong family?”
“Isn’t that why you came to us in advance and threatened us?”
“No.”
The Myeongdong Songgolmae shook its head.
“Master Jeonghyeok, you know everything, so why did you try to recruit us only now? This hidden meaning is important.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Why now of all times?”
“Until now, you had no intention of going to the Jeong family.”
“That’s nonsense!”
Everyone shouted.
“How could one not covet the position of head of the Jeong family?”
“You weren’t waiting for an opportunity all this time, were you?”
“There’s no way to persuade us, so we’ll just crouch down and do nothing… …!”
“No.”
The Myeongdong Songgolmae shook its head.
“There were many opportunities. The power to mobilize public power, the time to defeat them individually, and even the skill to corner them. Was there anything you lacked, Your Majesty?”
There wasn’t any.
That’s why no one dared to refute it.
“The battle always favors the prepared. If the young master had tried to make a surprise attack, we would have been helpless.”
So, conclusion.
“You guys should know that you have been able to vent your anger thanks to the young master.”
“Speak so I can understand!”
The rascal shouted out loud.
“What else is there to vent your frustrations on, Master?”
“You don’t realize it even though you’ve been given so much consideration. Well, see, hear, and experience it for yourself! Then you’ll understand!”
* * *
On the way to visit the elderly in Jeongdongjin.
As we sat side by side in the backseat of the car, my grandmother kept rubbing my hand.
His face was very tense.
“Jeonghyeok, there’s no need to be nervous.”
I didn’t do it?
“Trust only this old lady!”
Despite his loud voice, his face looked anxious.
My grandmother looked at me with a stern expression.
“Did you know that there are five people who are the closest associates of our Jeong family?”
“yes.”
I already met four people yesterday and received their petition.
“The Myeongdong Songgolmae will probably take your side. I already confirmed that yesterday.”
Well, he came to the village banquet and declared his support publicly.
“Jongno Geumtooth and Magpie Mountain Bang Ms. will probably be neutral. They always do that.”
Isn’t that right?
Yesterday, he signed and stamped the petition saying that he owes me his life.
“The problem would be the horse-headed skunk and the Southeast Asian skunk.”
The grandmother opened her mouth with a worried voice.
“I’ll try to persuade you somehow. I heard that you’re a great man who would die at a racecourse, so if I try to persuade you somehow, you might be willing to take it.”
As she spoke, the grandmother’s expression darkened suddenly.
“The problem is the Southeast Asian skunk.”
Isn’t that the Southeast Skunk?
“That guy is really a piece of shit in many ways.”
Is that why it’s called a skunk?
I was one of the top five black money tycoons in South Korea, but I was no match for the skunks from the southeast who ruled Japan.
“Grandma, I’m talking about that guy called the Southeast Skunk.”
Based on the circumstances so far, I have recently come to this conclusion.
‘Could this man, the skunk from the southeast, be the winner of the Jeong family’s war for succession?’
Teacher, Jongno Geum-tooth and Ms. Bang of Magpie Mountain died violently.
And the horse head of the horse and the sled of Namsan served the skunk of the southeast as their master.
Perhaps the two could have held hands, or perhaps they could have succumbed to the skunk from the southeast and begged for their lives.
Of course, even Maljukgeori Maldaegari was shot and killed in Macau.
Anyway, that’s what happened after I took the Southeast Skunk in as my master.
‘Perhaps he took all of the Jeong family’s assets, including the heirlooms and Mrs. Bang’s memoirs.’
The Southeast Skunk was a big shot in the underground financial world that had strong influence not only in Japan but also in South Korea.
“Are you a moneylender famous for investing in Japanese companies and running real estate companies?”
“That’s what they said.”
“Is that person also in charge of managing Nakamura Real Estate?”
“okay.”
It was my grandfather’s real estate company, part of a partnership he had entered into as a condition of his engagement.
My maternal grandfather said he would pass it down to me.
That means I’m the one who should be questioning the messy real estate accounting data!
“What kind of person is he?”
“Well, among Dongjin’s closest associates, he’s probably the youngest. The age difference between him and Sungjun isn’t that big either. He just recently entered his 40s.”
I know.
“He is generous, smart, and cruel to the point of being poisonous. However, he is clear about what he does and what he does not do, and his gratitude is certain.”
I’ve heard of its reputation.
Because he was very famous in this area.
“He’s resourceful, capable, and has strong drive. Dongjin never spared his praise for him. It would be hard to find someone as talented as him to keep around.”
The Southeast Skunk later became one of the seven giants of Japan’s underground financial world, exerting great influence in many countries around the world.
“That’s why I said I gave it to Sungjun in particular. It seems like they were stuck together like older and younger brothers.”
“I guess you had quite a deep connection with my dad?”
“Then. You even swore that you would follow Sungjun with your life?”
Oh, good news!
In that case, the Southeast skunk who is thorough in Eunwon will be more friendly than expected… … .
“But it ended when Sungjun kicked out the Jeong family. I heard he was shaking with betrayal?”
… … is it ruined?
“He declared that he would destroy Taesung no matter what when he returned to Korea. Phew.”
That was the reason why my grandmother sighed deeply.
Wait, no way… … .
“The reason why the Southeast Skunk is active in Japan and not Korea… … .”
“On the surface, it was because I was running the Japanese real estate company that Sungjun had abandoned.”
Grandma smiled faintly, as if she was troubled.
“Actually, I think Dong-jin kept me in Japan the whole time, thinking, ‘I’ll call you when things cool down a bit,’ because there was a chance that we would have a very strained relationship as a mother and son.”
Grandma began to really knead the hand she had been fiddling with.
“It’s already been several years since Sungjun returned to Taeseong, but it seems that Southeast Asian skunks have not been able to enter Korea yet… … .”
Grandma swallowed her words.
“No. But since Dongjin brought him to Korea this time, I guess time has healed everything, right?”
Grandma tried to sound hopeful, but her expression was not very encouraging.
So I held my grandmother’s hand tightly.
“You don’t have to worry so much.”
Grandma’s hands, which were always warm, were as cold as ice today.
“I will make sure that no problems arise.”
“how?”
“With all my ability, with all my skill, with all my cunning? Whether I become food or death, somehow?”
“… … .”
There’s no need to make such an indifferent expression, right?
‘At this point, I’ve already persuaded four out of the five members of the Jeong family, so this has become something I have to negotiate with certainty.’
We clearly stated the purpose of our visit in advance.
“We’re not going there right now to declare war and demand that the Jeong family be handed over.”
He said he would go and discuss the ‘Jeong family heirloom’.
Of course, my business is more than that!
“Then, what our Jeong-hyeok said is right! We will never give our Jeong family heirloom to those guys! It belongs to our Jeong-hyeok!”
My grandmother seemed to covet the Jeong family heirloom, but honestly, I coveted something else more.
There’s something else that absolutely must be recovered.
Squeak.
“Madam, Young Master, we have arrived.”
My grandmother and I got out of the car.
It was a magnificent house, like a castle.
“I’ve been waiting.”
The one who opens the door and welcomes us before we even ring the doorbell.
“It’s been a while, ma’am. It’s nice to meet you again, young master.”
A man bowing politely at a 90-degree angle.
A man whose whole body exudes the strong scent of perfume that is so strong it paralyzes the nose.
It was a skunk from the southeast.
