After 12 Hours

Banquet of Dragons

I looked out the window. A dark countryside that resembles the landscape of an old grandmother's house when she was a child.

‘Well... there's nothing here. ’

I thought about it and asked my assistant who was holding the wheel in front of me.

“Almost there, right? ”

“Yes, boss. ”

“Well...”

Manual view of Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do, November 3. I ended up here. in response to an invitation to the Garden Royal. It was the same at the Garden Envy, but what an odd invitation. I can't believe that Korean punitive seniors who will soon inherit large corporations are meeting in these villages. It doesn't make much sense to me. However, Bentley, a secretary driving by, stepped into the same office. As he stepped inside the office, his assistant said.

“That's strange, Ms. Grant. ”

“What?”

“No... I don't think there's anyone here. East office is still the center of the neighbourhood, but it's normal for one or two people to leave. ”

“Hmm."

The office has been cleaned up recently, but the lights are out and not popular. It's 6: 40 in the afternoon. I'm just a little early for my appointment at 7: 00, which is weird.

“Let's get out of here. ”

I got out of the car with my assistant Park. But then, two men in suits came to us in the dark office. To be precise, they approached me and asked.

“Are you Mr. Han Sang-hoon? ”

“Yes.”

“What about the other two? ”

“Secretaries. Can I join you at the meeting?" ”

“Yes, just one."

I made eye contact with my assistant and Park respectively. The secretary stepped back and Park approached me. If they try to do anything strange to me, they'll be rolling the asphalt floor in 1.2 seconds. But they didn't. They just reached out to me.

“Would you like to show the invitation? ”

That's all I asked. I removed the prepared invitation from my arms and showed it to them. And when he saw that, he lifted up his collar.

“Han Sang-hoon attended. Send me the car.”

I radioed somewhere. Somewhere soon, Bentley. The same kind of car that I was in was pulled into the parking lot. As I stare at it, one of them points back at the magnet.

“Hop in.”

“Oh wait a minute. ”

I took a moment to check my mailbox on my mobile phone. I was just wondering if you had any corrections. But the correction wasn't there. That is, I will visit the Children's Cancer Foundation in good health 3 weeks later.

‘Everything will be fine. ’

I rode in the back seat with Park's assistant. When I got in the car, the knight who looked a little old looked back and greeted him.

“Then I'll take good care of it. Chairman."

I don't know, but it looks like a hired driver. He drove his car back out on the country road. I thought.

Where are we going? Hidden villa?

But then I saw the river. A river. A North Korean river.

‘... No way...’

But it was true. There is a large cruise ship far above the river lit by a blazing fire.

I think I've seen that in the Han River sometimes.

No, it looks bigger than that. The car stood on a pier near the river. There are people in black suits waiting here, too.

“Mr. Han Sang-hoon? I've been waiting.”

‘There's no room for anyone else to interfere. ’

I got on the boat with Park's assistant, and they were holding the wheel. Soon, the boat set out for the cruise ship that was shining light over the North Korean river.

*

The cruise ship was truly a spectacle of glamour. The man who was guarding was handsome, and the woman who was carrying food and liquor was beautiful. The bar was lined with champagnes like Dom Perignon and Armandie, and all the furniture filling it seemed to be antique and priceless.

‘It's spectacular. Whose money is this anyway? ’

I tried to pay attention to the people inside, rather than the glamour. There are quite a few familiar faces on this cruise ship. What was slightly different from my expectations was that this was not the only one with a financial side. Politics and the press stand out in some ways.

"What consideration did you call him? ’

He's the son of a former president, isn't he? What do we do now? ’

Some faces are very familiar. The brother of Lee Won-Jae, who resembles Kaiji. Won-Sang Lee, who is considered to be the next tower in the crew.

He's here, too. ’

Somehow it feels similar. Table tennis is for Garden Royal. Lee Won-san is in the Garden Royal and Lee Won-Jae is in the Garden Envier.

‘As expected... this is a place where only those who will become the next power of the Republic of Korea are invited. ’

What a feast of dragons. I grabbed a glass of champagne from a wandering beauty and overheard them talking.

“So what's going to happen to the reform? ”

“It'll pass soon enough. Presidential preservation. Four-year mandate. Instead, Congress will be reformed into an interlocking election system. The President and the Party Representative who lost everything said underwater. by cutting my tenure down to four years and matching my cycle to the general election. ”

“Well, I guess it's time to start talking about the right to expect. ”

“Yes, once the amendment is passed, the election is only a year and a half away. ”

There are political stories on one side and economic stories on the other.

“So you see the price of oil going up? ”

“Yes, the United States will continue to destabilize the Middle East in order to control China's One Belt, One Road. Neither India nor Pakistan. If you break your waist, you don't have silk. ”

“Aha. So shale oil is expensive and a double. Trump warned me that oil prices were too high.”

“He's just saying that to make it popular with the public. They say it's hard to live in the country because the price of oil is high, but they actually only have a policy of floating oil prices. ”

All the stories seem to help if you hear them. I looked up at the sky. Some migratory birds, some flying birds.

‘... Birds are moving... Then... I won't be surprised to hear a raven fly. ’

I thought of the blindfolds that were tucked away at home. If I say there's not enough to see and hear here. Ask Crowe. Maybe I'll see him again. Through a dream, and then suddenly, I heard a voice that grabbed my ear.

“What about Han Sang-hoon? ”

Suddenly, my ears are ringing.

"Looking for me? ’

I turned my gaze towards the sound. But that's the table where the political story was.

“Han Sang-hoon, that's not bad. I think it's a possibility. ”

“Isn't it too light? ”

“It's light. It's a possibility. Politicians are popular these days because they are far from authoritarian. ”

‘Ah... not me. ’

Luck or misfortune, it is not me who is gathered here, it is Han Sang-hoon, the politician.

“The ruling party is probably the main candidate. Other shareholders have already lost. Unless there are other variables. There will be a main attendant. The opposition side is interesting. It's hard to predict the odds here. There is Han Sang-hoon whom you mentioned earlier, but there is Senator Lee Su-won. Or there's a correction. ”

“Isn't it a little hard to fix? He was very considerate of all his female politics before. ”

“No, there's nothing wrong with being a woman. Different people. A German Prime Minister like Merkel has been in office for over a decade. ”

‘Oh... Han Sang-hoon, he keeps getting better and better...’

Representative Han Sang-hoon, Dongmyung, will now be referred to as the mayor. If that's the case. Unfortunately for me, my plans to find my name on the news in 12 hours and see the future may be sealed for a few years. Anyone in South Korea, even a top celebrity, cannot win over the president. I thought, sipping a glass of champagne.

‘If you're ever going to run for election... or if you're going to be a congressman in the opposition, I'm going to have to tell you through Crowe. How much dust. ’

This is why prosecutors and the media are in power in my country. I see something coming out of a politician's hair. So the prosecution sometimes becomes a dog of power, and sometimes a dog that bites it.

The press is the same. If you have a high support rate, you can write a Dragon Beer Heaven, but if it gets lower, you can beat it with a comment and hit it with a knight. That's why the president, who is at the peak of his power, is going to jail at the end of his term, being robbed by those people. I didn't have the political power to prosecute, but the press was as confident as anyone else.

‘Cause I saw it. ’

I was thinking that, and a man in a black suit approached me and asked.

“Are you Representative Han Sang-hoon of Invisible Tus Investments? ”

I nodded.

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Chairman Jang Han Seul, the inviter, would like to see you. ”

I look at him for a moment, nodding. That's why I came here in the first place. At the Feast of Dragons, swallowed by dragons, to see what lies in their bellies. He tried to swallow me whole, but I was dug up from the inside and died.

No matter how easy they say it is. You can't swallow me. I followed Park's assistant into the cruise ship with him. His destination was a room in a cruise ship. In front of him, he looked at Park's assistant and expressed his colours.

“I'm sorry, but you can't accompany me inside. ”

I turned to Park's secretary and nodded. ‘Corrective information’ did not come. I've checked two or three times since boarding this ship. After detaching Park's assistant, I stepped into it. There were seven people in it.

I knew them all at once. They are all faces that must be recognized at once. KJ Shopping Chairman Han Seol. Gojin Hee, President of Oily Fashion, Kim Sin, President of Water Planning, Jeong Seong-soo, Vice President of Future Automotive, Ji-yeon, Director of Hotel White, Heo Jun-ik, President of LC Construction, and Table Mun-su, Vice Chairman of Suyeon Electronics.

"What a... gathering of princes and princesses. ’

These were the people who could truly be the next guns in the Korean financial crisis.

What the hell are these people talking about? ’

I was thinking that, the inviter who invited me, Jang Han Seol stood up and gave me a hand.

“Ah, Mr. Han Sang-hoon. You came. Nice to meet you."

At that time, one person stood up and asked.

“Who are you?”

He's just a table attendant. The same face I saw in my dreams.

‘You already know. ’

I was thinking about it, but Jang Seol explained to six others to listen.

“Ah, this is Representative Han Sang-hoon of Invisibility Investment. I heard that rolling companies have over a trillion won in the market recently? ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

It's a story of property from the first encounter.

Well, maybe I can sit at this table...

I thought about it and formally greeted them.

“Greetings, Chairman, Chairman. This is Han Sang-hoon, the representative of the Invisible Tus Investment. ”
