The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 317



Only Noblemtl

317. You want to eat it raw?

To be honest, it was unexpected.

‘I thought you didn’t write down anything about your successor in your will.’

But my name was written in three letters in the will.

Side by side with our father.

That was why this will sparkled like gold.

‘Hmm, I didn’t know that the successor would be designated so clearly.’

So it was unexpected.

I am the successor formally designated in the will.

There, our father was appointed as guardian.

‘There must have been no mention of a successor in the will. Otherwise, the big shots of the previous generation would not have suspected each other and fought to the death for so long.’

Ever since I learned about the Jeong family’s succession war.

My suspicions and inferences always produced the same results.

Otherwise, it doesn’t explain that bloody war.

But as it turned out, there was a variable.

‘Body thief.’

He would have been sticking by the old man Jeong Dong-jin’s side, waiting for the right moment to strike.

‘If that guy were to interfere and make a mess… … .’

My head was spinning busily.

The combinable puzzles were scattered and put together repeatedly.

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Swish.

I put the will down on the table.

Even his head, which had been tilted in a clockwise direction, was turned straight.

“You said that no one here would have known anything about the old man’s will?”

“That’s right.”

“Couldn’t the traitor who had the black dragon tattoo have known?”

“Are you talking about a secret envoy? Of course.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin smiled confidently.

“Even the lawyer who wrote the will is dead. He has no way of knowing.”

“But what if I change the will?”

“Swap?”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin snorted.

“How do you know where he hid it, since I’ve never taken it out since I wrote it?”

“If they can even swap blood letters, what’s the big deal about swapping a will?”

“her?”

“What do you want to know? Since everyone involved in the will is already dead, who can prove the authenticity of the will?”

“… … .”

The expression on the elder Jeong Dong-jin’s face hardened.

“The will is made public after death, right?”

I clicked my tongue slightly.

“A will that was kept in the utmost secrecy, never taken out even once since it was written, and was kept hidden so that no one knew about it, and was said to be related to the succession of the Jeong family?”

The laughter was a bonus.

“Why bother with such trouble when there are much easier, faster, and more reliable ways to accomplish the task?”

“… …swap.”

That’s right.

“skunk!”

“Yes, sir.”

“Come find me.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The southeastern skunk put down his plate of rice cakes and turned around.

Knock knock. Knock!

“Let’s cut and dry the house! Let’s talk and kill!” (Search the traitors’ residence! Find the will!)”

“Yes!”

“Go to the basement and go to the basement and ask questions!”

“Yes!”

When the skunk in the southeast caught the body thief earlier.

I made a strong request on purpose.

The body thief was told to take the body to the basement, not the living room.

‘That’s much better than my crude skills when I was eleven.’

In both the pawn shop basement and this basement, there’s at least one guy with a black dragon tattoo caught.

Perhaps we can cross-check the information we have gathered.

Before the southeast skunk gets out of there.

“Just a minute. You said earlier that I should just tell you if I needed anything?”

“Yes, my lord. What do you need?”

“Please call Songgolmae of Myeongdong, Geumniyi of Jongno, Ms. Bang of Magpie Mountain, and Maljukgeori Maldaegari here.”

“… … .”

The southeastern skunk was hesitant to answer.

When I glanced at my master, the old man Jeong Dong-jin waved his hand happily.

“Call me.”

“Master, are you okay?”

“What else is not okay?”

“This is a secret discussion about blood oaths and wills. Isn’t this a place to discuss important matters regarding the succession of the Jeong family?”

“therefore.”

“……All right.”

Knock knock. Knock!

A skunk from the southeast opened the sliding door and went out.

And after a while, the four big shots of the previous generation entered the room.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin laughed.

“There is only one reason why you are here: it was because of Jeong-hyeok’s request.”

“I know, sir.”

“This is something that Jeong-hyeok and I should have discussed alone, but the reason I’m allowing you to observe is so that we can definitely conclude the succession issue on this occasion.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Do you know what this means?”

“Yes, I know.”

The big shots of the generation spoke in one voice.

Only then did Elder Jeong Dong-jin nod his head.

“I guess I should take this opportunity to clear my name as well. I don’t deal in petty pranks.”

“Sir, please look at this.”

A skunk from the southeast came running and put down the paper.

“He was indeed hiding a forged will. From the handwriting to the seal, it is exactly like my master’s.”

It was an ominous document, dark gray with hints of black and red.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin read it and frowned.

“It was real.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin gritted his teeth.

“Indeed, there was no mention of a successor in this will.”

That wasn’t all.

“If you are to succeed me, you must prove that you have the ability to do so? That’s why I divided up the Jeong family’s assets and managed them? Ha!”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin, unable to overcome his growing annoyance, crumpled up his will.

“With this will, you guys would have turned your eyes and started a dog fight?”

“If that is your will, sir… … .”

“Do you think that’s why I gave you the authority over the Jeong family? I gave it to you so that you could support Seongjun!”

The four big names of the previous generation were silent.

“It’s so cool.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin looked back at me.

“How did you know that?”

Well, I know because I saw it happen in my past life.

There’s no way to explain this?

I shrugged.

But, the old man Jeong Dong-jin quickly interrupted.

“Stop talking nonsense about hitting with your wit, skill, ability, and talent.”

“Don’t try to cover up your opponent’s competence with your own incompetence, right?”

I grumbled.

“Either he got his tail kicked, or I made contact with a good source. Or both?”

“her.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin rubbed his chin.

“This is it, you didn’t even give me a chance to poke at it. Where on earth did you get this thing?”

No, I was just trying to turn the tables on what the old man said.

Isn’t there really any need to stick out your tongue like that?

“You definitely resemble me more than Seongjun.”

Why does everyone say I look like them?

You don’t have any work?

* * *

Elder Jeong Dong-jin buried himself deep in his pillow and laughed.

“It seems like you have a lot to ask me.”

“There are more things I want to say than that.”

I didn’t hide my displeasure.

“You’re saying something completely different than before?”

“Well, I don’t know. What’s the difference?”

“There is only one person who can succeed you. You’ve been saying this for over 20 years now.”

“That’s right.”

“Then why did you put me on the list of successors to the Jeong family along with my father?”

I pressed the will firmly with my index finger.

“Symbols are so annoying.”

“ha ha ha.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin smiled brightly, but his five closest aides were restless.

Whatever!

“What do you think will happen if the old man passes away and names me as his successor?”

“These guys wouldn’t have looked kindly upon you.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin laughed shamelessly.

“I don’t think I could even find the bones. I don’t think anyone would know if I were suddenly buried in the mountains and died one day.”

“You knew that and still put my name on it, right?”

“You just have to appoint Sungjun as your guardian. What’s the problem?”

“Why aren’t there any problems?”

I pointed to the faded blood writing placed next to the will.

“My father wrote in blood that he would cut ties with this family?”

It was a very desirable blood oath, twinkling with golden light.

“I will abandon the name Jeong Seong-jun, refuse to be registered as an adopted child in the Jeong family, and refrain from interfering in the affairs of this family any longer. In return, I will also refrain from claiming any rights.”

“That’s Sungjun’s idea. Where is my signature on that blood oath?”

That was the problem!

Even if I looked hard, I couldn’t find anything in this blood letter belonging to the elder Jeong Dong-jin.

“So this should be considered a memorandum, not a contract. And the memorandum of renunciation of inheritance… … .”

“If it is written while the person is alive, it has no legal effect.”

“That’s right.”

Our father’s sincerity was made a mockery.

Even though he wrote the letter in his own blood, each and every letter was full of tragedy.

“Sir, do you know that you ate something really bad?”

“ha ha ha.”

“Okay. Burn this. A promise is a promise.”

The smile of the old man Jeong Dong-jin became deeper and deeper.

“Even if it’s meaningless?”

“Why doesn’t that make sense? It’s a matter of breaking the chains on my father’s heart, regardless of the legal implications.”

“If Sungjun, freed from his chains, covets the property and takes over this household, what will you do?”

“What can I do? I’m going to say, ‘I can do whatever my dad wants!’ If he wants, I’ll give it to him.”

“… … .”

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my mom and dad.”

I crossed my arms and smiled crookedly.

“Even if it is a war that requires a lot of risk.”

“Do you know where the black dragon tattoo is?”

“It’s a dark society.”

“Then you know it’s going to be a tough fight, right?”

“The one who avoids first is the coward. I am a person who never avoids a fight that comes my way.”

That was something I had already prepared for when I caught the body thief.

I haven’t figured it all out yet!

“My father had to roll around in the Middle East for seven years because you suffocated him.”

“You brought this on yourself stupidly. You should have come to me before.”

“My maternal grandfather couldn’t find my mother and was upset for seven years.”

“It was your mother who ran away on her own.”

“If my grandfather knew, he would be slapped and he would have nothing to say, right?”

“That’s something I can’t do even if I get stabbed. I’m prepared for it.”

Phew, I couldn’t help but sigh.

I thought I was smart, but I’m actually really stupid.

Because he looks so lonely that he can’t help but do such foolish things.

“You didn’t have to go that far.”

“If we don’t do that, will Sungjun go back on his oath and try to come here on his own?”

“Even if you use me as bait to keep my father in this house, what’s the point of that?”

“Three, they have a very big meaning.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin smiled leisurely.

“I won’t go back on my words. Not only will I be able to stretch out my legs and close my eyes in comfort, but I will also be able to properly continue the Jeong family lineage.”

Sir, in my previous life.

You may not have expected it, but your greed has led to many tragedies.

After losing my father, Taesungga was in chaos.

My maternal family must have shed tears of blood after losing my mother.

What about me, who was abandoned on the street?

The elder’s closest associates were suspicious of each other and ended up killed in the war.

“Seongjun is a kid with great potential as well as ability. He can’t possibly be a good fit for Taesung.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin was confident.

“If I just waved around the Taesung Group shares I own, a typhoon would come. Taesung would be able to properly defend its management rights.”

That was my business.

“That’s why I came. I was thinking of retrieving Taesung Electronics shares as well.”

“With my mouth closed?”

“Yes. With my mouth open.”

“You want to eat it raw?”

“Is there anything that won’t work?”

“… … .”

Don’t look at it with such absurd eyes.

I took out four neatly folded sheets of paper from my coin purse.
