There is no villain in my return episode 108

Life at the Judicial Research and Training Institute was not difficult.

Choi Tae-young and Lee Jun-ki, who had joined a year earlier, took him out to various gatherings.

It was a case study meeting held once a week.

It’s all about case study, but in reality, all you do is get a genealogy from your seniors and have a quick drink.

Choi Tae-young spoke with a red face from being drunk.

“Shinwoo. Even though all the trainees here look the same, they are actually divided into different classes.”

Those at the top are graduates of Korea University.

Not only does it have a solid rope that definitely pulls you in, it also has the most successful applicants.

Below that are the successful applicants to Seoul National University who have connections or who have been delayed.

At the very bottom are the hard workers who have no connections, no delays, and even no money.

“No matter how smart you are, the law is ultimately a matter between people. Can you become a judge just by reading a book? Who elects you?”

“They are our seniors.”

“Who can recommend and guide a good law firm?”

“The same goes for our seniors.”

I get along well with Lee Jun-gi.

“All the kids here are smart. If you’re smart enough to pass the bar exam, you can probably do the multiplication table. But why the hell are you acting all normal and acting all nice when you come all the way to this great place?”

Choi Tae-young shouted while staring at the man drinking alone in the corner.

I didn’t even take a sip of alcohol except when I first got it.

“……Are you talking about me?”

“Yeah. You. If you’re not going to drink, why did you come out and ruin the mood?”

The man was speechless.

“Fuck, are you the only one who’s so great? Are your grades better than these kids? Is that why you’re sitting there acting all high and mighty? Do you think your seniors are easy on you?”

“……no.”

“But why are you stretching like that?”

The man’s face turned pale.

Shinwoo silently watched the situation.

Everyone is having fun, but he is not.

The reason I came to this drinking and perm club in the first place was because of the man who was being taken advantage of.

‘They said I was a dumbass who couldn’t even speak properly when I was young, and it was true.’

Prosecutor Yoon Seok-hoon, a tough guy.

Although he belonged to the non-mainstream group, at some point the opposition party started to support him, and when he was investigated by a special prosecutor, his true colors were revealed.

He was nicknamed the Grim Reaper because he stood above and mercilessly purged his enemies.

‘You can’t save someone, but you can kill them.’

Anyone who shakes their head produces dust.

He persistently bit and hung on, knocking down the veteran lawmakers who were like old trees.

As this was repeated, there were not many people who would mess with him.

According to the swordsmen, it is one of two things.

Either become a star and become more than just a prosecutor, or be discarded when your usefulness is over.

Kim Gwang-ho, who threatened members of the National Assembly and conglomerate leaders, became a star, but Yoon Seok-hoon was transferred to a local area.

‘He’s quite a strange person.’

If you look at his current appearance, he seems very timid, but he is actually quite a gentleman.

Especially, when he saw crime or injustice, he could not stand it and became enraged.

They hit the criminals without regard to the front or back and put them in jail.

As soon as Shinwoo saw him, he thought of making him his hunting dog.

‘I can make you a scabbard and a handle.’

Shinwoo picked up the bottle and poured it into everyone’s glasses, including Choi Taeyoung’s.

Although he was on the outside a freshman and a junior, he was aware of Shinwoo’s feelings, whether it was Choi Tae-young or Lee Jun-ki.

The 100 million won chain around my neck gradually began to show its true value.

Then, she got up from her seat, walked over to Yoon Seok-hoon, and filled his glass as well.

“Let’s not get all red-faced for no reason. There are so many bad guys out there that need to be thrown out. Let’s help each other out so we can catch them better. Right?”

Shinwoo lifted his glass first and drank it all.

As he shook the empty glass over his head, Choi Tae-young, Lee Jun-ki, and others also drank.

“Ugh! As expected from Shinwoo. It’s so refreshing and nice!”

“I told you, he’s been like this since he was in first grade!”

Yoon Seok-hoon looked down at the glass in front of him.

Then he picked it up with both hands and poured it into his mouth.

It’s the opposite of how he used to act like a sage.

Only then did the atmosphere heat up again.

He muttered with a red face, perhaps because he was weak from drinking.

“……Because I want to catch bad guys too.”

“Me too.”

Only Shinwoo answered his mutterings.

* * *

Kangho Savings Development sold all of its development shares in Soryong Village to Sanoh Savings Bank.

Kim Tae-seok sold the land for 420 billion won, taking a considerable hit on its value.

With this deal, the name of Kangho Savings Development was once again introduced to the mass media.

It’s just a lucky company that happened to buy land in a development area and made a big profit without even listing on the stock market.

‘I guess I should really start gaining weight now.’

Stagnant water becomes stagnant, and people grow old if they do not learn.

And money loses its value if it is not used.

Fortunately for Shinwoo, he has an advisor named Kim Taeseok who has an excellent eye for real estate.

‘Until the 2008 financial crisis, real estate prices will continue to rise steadily.’

Before the financial crisis, there was a strong perception that apartments in Seoul, especially Gangnam, were ‘invincible.’

It was a popular investment asset, with prices rising every month from 2005 until the financial crisis.

However, after the financial crisis and the subsequent adjustments, construction companies and financial companies that invested in real estate or pushed forward with projects recklessly went bankrupt one after another.

The term “house poor” was coined and spread at that time.

It wasn’t until 2015 that the aftereffects of the financial crisis subsided and real estate caught fire again.

‘Until then, I have to actively invest in real estate.’

But what Shinwoo chose was not the Korean market.

Kangho Investment Development will invest in the United States, not Korea.

-What? American real estate? You mean the entire 420 billion?

“Yes. Real estate will be on fire for the next three years. I plan to invest in commercial real estate during that time.”

The rate of increase is on a different level from Korea.

Before the mortgage crisis, American banks lent money to anyone who wasn’t dead.

Even when there was duplication, people bought up any property they could get their hands on.

There were no restrictions on trading there, so it was traded as easily as stocks.

“Invest in the heart of New York or LA. I will tell Jang Dong-gi how many people he needs and instruct him to hire a large number of people while he is at it.”

Since the name is quite well known, there will probably be a lot of applicants.

“You’ve worked hard so far, so why don’t you go to the US for a month or two and take a break while you look at some real estate. I’m sure you’ll be able to make a good choice with your discerning eye.”

-Ugh. America.

Although I was groaning, I also felt anticipation as much as it was burdensome.

-Are you going to invest all 420 billion?

“Yes. All of them.”

-What if I blow it?

Shinwoo smiled lightly and said that there was no way that could happen.

“American real estate has been rising steadily since World War II.”

In particular, between 1997 and 2006, US home prices rose 124%.

It has more than doubled in ten years.

Since 2004, the price has risen sharply, making it increasingly difficult to buy a house with one’s income.

During this period, the United States became increasingly captive to the housing bubble.

After decades of steady increases in home prices, Americans believed that the upward trend in home prices would continue and that the rapid increase in home prices was a rational move.

‘Ironically, the fear of the dot-com bubble gave people confidence that the housing market was safe.’

Greedy financial institutions entered the housing market to make money.

They created ridiculous financial products and provided loans to people trying to buy houses.

As this demand grew, home prices continued to rise and people applied for loans instead of saving.

-Hmm. I don’t know how long it will rise.

“Yes, but with interest rates in the US still low, money will continue to grow.”

Household debt explodes, and home purchases shift from residential to speculative.

It was a solid investment, at least until the financial crisis of 2007.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have plenty of dollars while you’re at it?”

* * *

The complicated political situation in South Korea in 2004 has passed and the new year of 2005 has arrived.

Life at the training center became quite familiar and Kangho Savings Development also began to settle down.

Kim Tae-seok lived in the United States with Choi Ji-seong for about a month and then started buying real estate like crazy.

Most of them are medium to large sized commercial properties located in downtown areas.

The entire amount of 420 billion won, excluding taxes, was used cleanly.

-I did as I was told, so now all the credit and blame goes to you, the representative.

“Oh my. I am honored.”

The monthly rent from real estate alone was considerable.

What’s surprising is that even when I thought I had bought it at a high price, the rent continued to rise.

As real estate values ​​rose by more than 50% in a short period of time, some began to speculate that they should sell.

But Shinwoo shook his head firmly.

“Wait a minute. There’s still one more year left.”

-Why? What happened in 2007?

“I think that’s likely given the current situation.”

It’s not just the United States that is seeing a surge in real estate prices.

The South Korean government announced the August 31 real estate policy and introduced a comprehensive real estate tax, but it is not enough.

The world went on as it had been in the history that Shinwoo knew.

The last semester of internships has come to an end and the end is slowly in sight.

“ha.”

“Why are you sighing as if the ground is collapsing?”

Yoon Seok-hoon was brimming with confidence, unlike two years ago.

While living with Shinwoo, I was influenced by him without realizing it.

“Unlike my brother, I am a non-commissioned officer.”

“Ah, that’s right. I joined the army really late, so I finished my military service before that. I thought it was unfair at the time, but now I feel at ease.”

“Are you taking medicine?”

“Hehehe. Did you like my expression too much? But you’re going to be a military judge advocate, right? If you think about it as gaining experience, it can’t be bad.”

A military judge advocate is an officer in charge of legal affairs within the military.

They were usually appointed as military judges or military prosecutors and were in charge of prosecution and sentencing, and were also responsible for various legal support required by the military.

Of course, all military judge advocates must pass the bar exam and be qualified as lawyers.

“You’re only going for a short period of time anyway, so think of it as a vacation.”

“Brother. Do you want to do some sparring in the morning?”

Yoon Seok-hoon stepped back with a determined expression.

To be appointed as a military judge advocate, one must be in the top 20-30% of those who graduated from the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

That is understandable, as the authority and power of a rookie lieutenant-level military judge advocate who has not even been in office for three years is enormous.

Conducts disciplinary reviews of lieutenant colonel to general level officers and detains them at any time at his discretion.

Since most of the assigned officers worked at the division level or higher and at the command level, it was rare for them to be posted to remote mountainous areas.

“I heard that he said he would feel at ease if he thought of working at a law firm within the military for three years.”

It was exactly after the end of the global financial crisis in 2008.

Timing-wise, it’s just right.

* * *

Finally, my time at the Judicial Research and Training Institute came to an end and the graduation ceremony day arrived.

A placard was hung in the auditorium and the entire class gathered.

Among those who graduated that day, Shinwoo received the Chief Justice Award.

“I look forward to the future as well.”

“thank you.”

Shin Jeong-suk, who came to the scene, secretly shed tears at the sight of Shin Woo’s manly appearance.

What was surprising was that Jeong So-eun and lawyers from Donghae Law Firm also came to the graduation ceremony.

The red suit, which would normally look tacky, suited her very well.

“Congratulations on your graduation. Do you still plan on coming to our firm?”

“of course.”

“Yes. My father had high expectations for me, so I’m sure he’ll be disappointed.”

Unlike his usual speech, his expression is fresh.

After looking Shinwoo up and down for a moment, he asked blurtly.

“By the way, you must have been really busy. You haven’t contacted me at all.”

“Isn’t it too early for us to contact each other so privately?”

“How is the relationship between your senior and junior?”

Shinwoo shrugged.

At that moment, when Shin Jeong-suk approached Shin Woo, Jeong So-eun smiled faintly and greeted him.

“It’s your mother. Hello. My name is Jeong So-eun, a lawyer and senior of Shinwoo.”

Shin Jeong-suk grabbed Shin Woo’s arm.

But before he could speak, Jeong So-eun made an awkward sign first.

[I can sign. Please speak comfortably.]

Shin Jeong-suk was surprised.

[Please take good care of Shinwoo in the future as well.]

[No. I’m the one who’s indebted to you.]

Shinwoo stared blankly at Jeong So-eun’s face.

“I learned it as a hobby. As a hobby.”

“Who said what?”

The Jeong So-eun he remembers is a member of Geum Min-jun’s group and a cold-hearted person who acts for her own benefit, just like her father, Jeong Dong-hae.

It was surprising that she even practiced sign language under the pretense that it was a hobby.

‘Maybe I can think about it a little differently.’

* * *

Without even a moment to rest, Shinwoo entered the training camp.

There is nothing physically difficult for him, as he has been exercising regularly.

By the time he got used to wearing the military uniform, Shinwoo was assigned to a military division as a prosecutor.

“I hope nothing happens.”

As soon as those words were out, reports of harsh treatment were received from a unit in Gimpo.
