The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 341
Only Noblemtl
341. Quick movements
‘It’s very difficult.’
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party was burning inside.
I immediately called the Japanese Prime Minister.
“Your Excellency the Prime Minister, have you seen the news bulletin?”
-Are you talking about the press conference held by the leader of the Socialist Party?
“It’s usually not a serious situation.”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader swallowed hard.
“It is clear that this is the work of the new head of the Jeong clan who succeeded Jeong Dong-jin.”
-Jeong Dong-jin’s successor? Isn’t the Jeong family a money-making family with private loans, finance, and corporate shares?
It was a calm and composed voice, as if it was nothing special.
-How much land do you have in Tokyo? That’s just speculation.
“It’s not speculation.”
-Then do you have any evidence?
Of course.
Doesn’t he have in his hands right now a threatening letter from the head of the Jeong family that he received from his wife?
But can we really tell the Prime Minister about this?
“I received… threats.”
-So you were scared?
A snicker came from the other end of the phone.
-Ignore it.
The indifferent voice said so and hung up the phone.
I called the Japanese Prime Minister again, but the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister politely declined the call.
The Liberal Democratic Party leader let out a long sigh.
“It is said that three people make a tiger. If the Prime Minister learns that not only me but also other party officials are being threatened, he will be able to recognize the seriousness of the situation.”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader immediately began calling his close associates.
-I’m sorry. Our member is resting quietly in the hospital due to the aftereffects of a serious injury.
“What is it? What is the situation right now?”
-If you’ve seen the breaking news, you’ll know. Well, that’s all for now.
Doo-. Doo-. Doo-.
“profit!”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader quickly called the next member of parliament.
But what is this?
They all just showed similar reactions.
-I’m sorry. Our congressman is away on an important business trip.
Didn’t you suddenly get an important business trip that you didn’t even know about?
-I’m sorry. Our member of parliament had to leave in a hurry after receiving news of the death of his cousin.
He said he won an award out of nowhere and disappeared.
-I’m sorry. Our member of parliament went to volunteer at a nursing home for elderly people with dementia… … .
-I’m sorry. Our member has a problem with the cemetery…
-I’m sorry. Our member… … .
-I’m sorry. We… … .
bang!
The Liberal Democratic Party leader chewed his teeth and roughly put the phone down.
“Fuck!”
I had a gut feeling.
It’s clear that these guys are trying to decide whether to side with this side or that side.
“You said we’d go to the ends of hell together… …!”
Even though he was the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, he was the first to run away after receiving the threatening letter.
He felt deeply betrayed and humiliated by the LDP officials who turned their backs on him.
“Let’s see. Even if you fart again later, you won’t get any soup later!”
The Liberal Democratic Party leader did not give up and picked up the phone again.
“It’s me. I want to talk to the Yamaguchi-gumi boss.”
-The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party is calling you personally. What on earth is the matter?
The yakuza boss answered the phone in a sly voice.
The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party cut short his remarks and got to the main point.
“Kill Jeong Dong-jin’s successor and his subordinates.”
We need to move a little faster.
* * *
“Boss, what should we do?”
The yakuza boss put the phone down and looked back cautiously.
Their boss was sprawled out on the living room sofa, making donuts with cigar smoke.
The yakuza boss answered with a smirk.
“I heard. What do you think?”
“It won’t be easy.”
Another yakuza boss, his face covered in bruises and scratches, bowed his head.
It was the same yakuza boss who had been tied to the pachinko pole operated by the southeast skunk just a few hours ago.
“Why do you think so?”
“Because the base of Jeong Dong-jin’s successors and his subordinates is Korea.”
“The Southeast Skunk is in Japan. Did he clean up the pachinko business?”
“It is said that the skunk from the southeast broke up with the Jeong family.”
“Is it a breakup or independence?”
“They say that they split up before Jeong Dong-jin died. Instead, they joined hands with the smuggling kingpin.”
The Yakuza boss and his subordinates looked surprised at the smuggling king’s voice.
“The Southeast Skunk is joining hands with the smuggling kingpin?”
“When you say smuggling king, you mean the smuggling king who has a firm grip on the East Asian smuggling routes?”
“yes.”
The yakuza boss who had been tied to the pachinko pole raised his head.
“That’s why the Southeast Skunk seems to be very disliked by the next head of the Jeong family. He was dragged to the central court and tortured before we did.”
“So instead of dealing with the traitor with my own hands, I left him in the hands of the central government?”
The yakuna boss let out a sneer.
“For Jeong Dong-jin’s successor, he’s so weak-hearted?”
Without anyone knowing who would speak first, the yakuza executives also burst into laughter at the same time.
But when the yakuza boss raised his hand, the laughter stopped.
“Then who was the one who got you out of the water torture room in the central court?”
“I am the smuggling king.”
“The smuggling king?”
The yakuza boss stroked his chin.
Unable to hide the intense interest in his eyes.
The smuggling king was a man who was considered one of the top smugglers in Japan.
“If he were the smuggling king, it wouldn’t be a big deal to roast Jung-jung. But I wonder why he went through all that trouble to save you.”
“The trafficking lord wanted to cover up his drug dealing with us.”
“Details.”
“Why didn’t his men trade methamphetamine with us without the smuggling king’s knowledge until a few months ago?”
I heard that a few months ago, a tail was stepped on and they all died, or they were caught and taken into the jungle.
As a result, they lost the precious Korean market and one of their cheap drug suppliers.
It was a very regrettable incident as the damage was severe.
“It is said that the drug lord was also taken to the central government and suffered a lot. It is said that the smuggling lord had no choice but to move to his base.”
Moving your base?
The guy who reigned as the loser of Busan Port for a long time?
The yakuza boss’s eyes narrowed.
“Could it be that the smuggling king is eyeing Japan as his new base?”
If that were the case, it would be a huge headache.
“No. The smuggling kingpin went to America to try to penetrate the American market.”
“USA?”
It is not the United States or Europe that are under the control of the smuggling kingpin.
It was the whole of Asia, especially East Asia and Russia.
“The US market is quite large.”
Not a little.
It’s very big.
Because it’s the best market in the world.
“It is said that the smuggling king has established himself in the United States by setting up a factory there together with Korean lobbyists.”
already?
That gentleman is really talented.
“They secretly run a military factory to produce weapons, and they also trade in smuggled goods separately.”
The United States was also the world’s largest arms market.
“You must have had a lot of friction with the local leaders.”
For example, professional arms dealers who deal in military supplies, or gangsters.
“The smuggling kingpin has managed to manipulate the US government so well that he seems to be under the protection of the US government.”
“what?”
If you have the protection of the US government, it’s a completely different story.
The yakuza boss’s eyes flashed.
“That’s why the smuggling king let you go despite the inconvenience… … .”
“I have received an alliance proposal.”
Then, the yakuza executives under him also began to look at him with gleaming eyes.
“But they say there is a condition.”
“What are the conditions?”
“Don’t support the Jeong family and the Chuk clan. And I will give up on advancing into Korea.”
The yakuza boss tied to the pachinko pole glanced at him and added cautiously.
“As the smuggling king’s base was in Korea, it seems that he is very reluctant to directly clash with the Jeong family.”
“That would be very easy.”
The yakuza boss laughed.
“If we can take a step into the American market, we will have to risk our lives even if the smuggling king wants to join hands with us and attack the Jeong family.”
If only I could sell Japanese methamphetamine to America through the smuggling kingpin… … .
The abacus beads were ticking away busily in my head.
A rosy future unfolded in the imagination of America’s largest criminal organization.
“It’s hard to open up a market, but it’s like eating something that has already been opened up.”
My mouth was watering.
“Should we also join hands with the smuggling king and enter the American market?”
“What about the Korean market?”
“I don’t want to miss out on the world’s best market opportunity just because of a small market. That’s penny wise and pound foolish!”
The boss looked back at the yakuza.
“Is there anyone who objects?”
No one raises a hand.
“Then, are you in favor?”
Everyone, including you and me, raised their hands.
It was unanimous.
The yakuza boss smiled happily at the very satisfactory result.
“Tell the smuggler that I accept his offer of alliance.”
Ring ring ring!
The yakuza executive who had been answering the phone politely reported to his boss as soon as he hung up.
“It seems like the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party is in trouble. Isn’t this chaos because he wants a definitive answer about the assassination? What should we do?”
“Unplug the phone.”
The yakuza boss laughed.
“When I have an important project coming up, they keep trying to get me to submit a request that will bring me good luck.”
“But boss, this is a request from none other than the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.”
“Tell me to do X.”
“What if I get a backlash?”
“If you point a knife at us, it’s war.”
The yakuza boss shouted at his organization’s executives, who were showing concern and worry.
“Why don’t we just divert their attention somewhere else so they don’t even pay attention to us?”
“Distract your attention? How?”
“Haven’t these guys even seen the news?”
As the yakuza boss gestured, one of the executives immediately turned on the television.
“The Socialist Party is now bombing the Liberal Democratic Party. Let’s add fuel to the fire.”
“How?”
“Dig up all the dirty things related to the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and spread them to the media.”
It was something I would never have thought of doing at other times.
But now the Socialist Party has declared war first, and public opinion is pointing the finger at the Liberal Democratic Party.
“Whether it’s his right or left arm, he’ll dig up the weaknesses of the forces that follow the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and make them blow their trumpets loudly.”
“If they come out and try to catch us by mobilizing public power… … .”
“You’re going to declare war on us because we refused to kill the head of the Jeong family? That can’t be happening.”
That’s like burning down an entire house to catch fleas.
“If you keep annoying me, I’ll kill a few of you and send them here to make an example of you. That’ll do.”
Now was not the time to be acting as a foot-scraper for the Liberal Democratic Party.
It’s time to decide whether or not to enter the American drug market.
For an ambitious yakuza boss, nothing was more important.
“Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job.”
“Don’t be so kind. You are too kind.”
“You take charge of this and push it forward.”
“Thank you, boss!”
“Instead, we will move a little faster.”
“If you just leave it to me, I will give my life and do my best with all my heart!”
A yakuza boss released from pachinko followed the order with the aforementioned face.
The yakuza boss nodded with a satisfied expression.
A few yakuza executives who were close to him congratulated him with cheerful faces.
Some of the executives exchanged glances with bleak eyes.
The eyes were filled with jealousy, resentment, discontent, and dissatisfaction.
‘Surely the Southeast Skunk didn’t cost 100 million yen per head?’
‘We never paid any money, so how did we get away with it?’
‘If it’s not a betrayal.’
His eyes flashed with suspicion.
* * *
The southeast skunk asked cautiously.
“Your Majesty, are you alright?”
“What else is not okay?”
I replied indifferently and played with my chopsticks.
This house is really good at writing.
It’s so thick and chewy that it sticks to your mouth.
You knew me when that big sea bream head opened its mouth?
“I’m worried because I used fresh wasabi and the soy sauce seems quite strong. I guess… … Hmm!”
The southeastern skunk looked serious and pondered.
“Me too. I thought you were going to ask me why I let a yakuza boss out of a pachinko parlor with his bare hands.”
“If there is a reason, it is as you said earlier, Your Majesty.”
The southeastern skunk grinned.
“There is no law that says only politicians can betray, collude, sow discord, incite, disrupt, and cause internal strife.”
bingo.
Anyway, I’m telling you, this guy is pretty smart.
“If I’m going to make these yakuza guys fight each other, can I do it my way, a little dirtier, more lethal, and more vulgar?”
“sure.”
Are you saying that I’m looking forward to this for nothing?
I just love the dirty, deadly, and vulgar ways of the Southeast Skunk!
It’s nice that I don’t have to explain this in detail!
But the skunk from the southeast furrowed his brow as soon as he finished speaking.
After pondering for a long time with a serious expression, he finally opened his mouth very carefully.
“I guess that won’t work. I’ll add water to the soy sauce.”
“Oh, I told you, that’s enough!”
Who mixes soy sauce with water when eating raw fish?
I ate a thick piece of sashimi dipped in wasabi soy sauce.
The salty taste of raw fish soy sauce and fresh wasabi melted on the tip of my tongue, tingling my nose.
I exclaimed, “Wow!” as I exhaled the breath that was full of the scent of wasabi.
“I eat raw fish because of this taste.”
“Why don’t you have a children’s set menu? Pork cutlet, curry, apples cut like rabbits, octopus-shaped Vienna sausages, cute quail eggs… … Ugh!”
Who comes to a cheap and expensive sushi restaurant and eats a children’s menu?
I fed a hot piece of fried pumpkin into the mouth of a southeastern skunk.
Of course, it is included in the children’s set menu.
A skunk from the southeast grumbled discontentedly as he munched on a piece of fried zucchini.
“I absolutely hate vegetables… … Ugh!”
“Then would you like to have some fried shrimp?”
“Well, it’s delicious. But this is better than… … hmph!”
“Then you can have some pork cutlet.”
The skunk in the southeast became a docile lamb, munching its lips quietly.
“Well, when it comes to fried food, tonkatsu is the best… … hmph!”
The southeast skunk looked back at me with eyes full of betrayal.
“You are too much. How can you make braised lotus root… … .”
“Adults are useless if they are picky eaters.”
“But… … Ugh!”
Only after I stuffed its mouth with curry did the southeast skunk smile broadly.
“The kids’ menu at this restaurant is really delicious!”
“Isn’t this the best sushi restaurant?”
“But still, meat is better than sashimi, curry is better than wasabi soy sauce… … huff!”
To silence the noisy snout, I stuffed the hamburger steak into it.
President Shim drank all the soybean paste stew.
widely.
“Your Majesty, I think the report on the establishment of JH Investment’s Japanese branch has been completed. Would you like to return home with me?”
“No.”
I waved my index finger from side to side.
“Why did I come all the way here? Let’s go to the bank together.”
“Are you at the bank?”
There’s no need to blink with those unsure eyes.
I winked one eye.
“I heard that in Japan these days, you can get a loan worth up to 120% of the market price of real estate?”
Have you ever heard of the Japanese real estate bubble?
