The Novel’s Villain

< 1. Strange people (4) >

“I was wrong. It's just a family of misfits that aren't even united. ”

“Hmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Chairman Lee Hee-jin slightly closes his eyes and nods.

Should I have done it for nothing?

Regrets came over me.

“You were. Leave this to me. ”

“· · · Yes? ”

Lee Hee-jin stood up and indifferently looked at Jinwoo.

“I'll punish you. Get out of my mansion. Looks like it's too early for you to inherit. I'll leave the mansion management to Min Woo. I'm going to cut off all support with wealth today. ”

It was clear that he was talking about where he woke up today.

It must have been a strong place for an heir to live.

However, the successor who should always be in danger of an ambush was no longer an option.

In this crazy world, the successors are always threatened with assassination.

It's a crazy world in many ways.

‘But if you stay away from your heir, you'll be worth living. ’

Jinwoo was delighted inside.

“I understand.”

“Well, go. ”

Chairman Lee Hee-jin turns his head and smiles once.

Was that a laugh?

Now, did it go well? ’

The crisis seemed to be over anyway.

Jinwoo sighs of relief.

As Lee Hee-jin disappeared inside, he could barely smile.

* * *

Lee Min-woo looked at Lee Jin-woo's back.

When I was a child, I was a bright child. And he was pure and cute. When did that brilliance disappear?

The look of looking at yourself coldly, the horror inside, the bad rumors that are heard around you.

But so far, I have not crossed the line.

But was it just a coincidence?

It was the most confusing time internally.

There was so much blood on Lee Min-woo's hands that it couldn't be erased.

He may be a half-brother, but he didn't even know he used his only brother as a shield.

It was because of his brother that he left the country early this time.

After flirting with the granddaughter of the sword, I sold the name of Chairman Lee Hee-jin to make a promise.

That was fine.

When I heard the sword line was punctured and brought home drunk, I thought I'd finally crossed the line.

However, Lee Min-woo had a hunch that things were going in a different direction than he expected.

He was so different after a year.

It was completely different.

It was as if another soul had entered it.

‘Fantastic.’

How long have you been lying to yourself?

Since when did you hide yourself?

Behind the indifferent look, the cold eyes, and the distorted smile hides a surprisingly strong will.

The brief glittering eyes were so deep that they didn't know the end, they were filled with a desire for life.

Seeing it gave me the creeps.

‘I didn't believe in genealogy. ’

Lee Jin-woo was the only man following Lee Hee-jin's original lineage.

Well, a tiger's cub couldn't have been a puppy.

Lee Min-woo was so curious about what Lee Jin-woo was looking at.

What is he looking at, lowering himself so low?

And why did he show himself today?

Lee Min-woo looked at Jin-woo sitting next to her in her sperm.

It was very relaxed.

Lee Min-woo's eyes widened.

"Smile"?

He was very satisfied.

After Lee Jin-woo left, Chairman Lee Hee-jin called him.

I stood at the door and heard Chairman Lee Hee-jin's voice.

“Come in.”

“Yes, sir. ”

After entering the room and greeting politely, Lee Hee Jin sat down in front of him.

He gave a document to Lee Min-woo.

It seemed to have just been written.

“The Chinese Federation of Commonwealth officials have entered the country. ”

“You mean the Federation of Fire? ”

“Yes."

The Federation was one of China's Child Dragon Societies.

A massive industrial espionage ring where items like appliances, emergency equipment, and skill books have been smuggled out.

Lee Min-woo was an entrepreneur, A-rank capability, national representative, and an important position in the Korean Association of Capability, covering the overall operations of the front group's gate industry.

At the young age of twenty-eight, he had a special relationship with politics, so he lacked at least ten hands.

He was calling them monsters born by the first group abroad.

“You mean the Choi family? How?"

“Jin Woo planted people in advance. Looks like you're getting pretty deep. ”

“Jinwoo? The most recently spent money was over there. ”

Min Woo looked surprised.

I've spent money so far, but I haven't looked very carefully at how to use it.

Chairman Lee Hee-jin nods with a satisfied expression.

“He's a profound child. If I was wrong, I would have been deceived too. It's like seeing me as a child. ”

Lee Hee-jin was locked in his memory.

This was a place stacked with countless blood.

There were many grudged relationships and many enemies inside as well as outside enemies.

In fact, it was the first group to maintain a close balance.

Lee Hee-jin provided minimal security during Lee Jin-woo's growth.

I didn't give her affection, and I barely spoke to her.

I only listened to the demands I could hear.

His theory was that you have to grow up to be a tiger.

I wanted to be armed myself, but hiding myself was also a good strategy.

But it couldn't go on forever.

If you want to be a butterfly, you must break the chrysalis.

Min Woo nodded his head to see if he understood it.

“Then why reveal it now? ”

“You want to make sure you're guarding your body with debt to the sword. And through engagement, the swordsmanship itself is under control. I have no choice but to get engaged. Haha! It's so nice to see his face crumble! ”

“I'm certainly not interested in the · · · · · · family, but I know granddaughter love is great. It cost less than this encounter. ”

“It's very small compared to what you get. ”

Chairman Lee Hee-jin put down his cup of tea.

The weight of the sword line was great.

Lee Hee-jin, who has immense power in Korea, reminds me of his face.

“Getting rid of him in this situation would be a reasonable punishment for sneaking up on him. You won't be able to say a word to the Choi family. ”

Chairman Lee Hee-jin laughed.

He flicks his fingers.

Then the trees that appeared outside the window disappeared and the landscape of the gray city appeared.

“The only thing leading this chaotic age is capital and ability. · · · · · · · If ability is above the law and capital is not restricted. ”

“If that's the case, I have nothing to fear. ”

“No.”

Chairman Lee Hee-jin grinned.

“Not only is there nothing to be afraid of, but everyone will be. ”

This world needed a Demon King more than a hero.

And that was the ultimate goal of the first-line group.

Lee Min-woo nodded quietly.

This tower, stacked with countless blood, flesh, and riches, could not have been a place for a hero.

* * *

Jinwoo returned to the mansion and was fully prepared to move.

The nominal award was to move because of health, but it was known to everyone in the mansion that Jin Woo was expelled.

Jinwoo smiles bloody.

‘You seem to like it a lot. ’

The staff were smiling today, including the maid of the mansion, who looked down on herself with contempt.

I didn't flinch or flinch because of it.

It was Jin Woo who endured all sorts of hardships and humiliations to break through the customers.

However, it was so sad that the look of contempt became familiar.

‘Society is teachers, you know. ’

However, if things went well, it was better than that.

Won't the protagonist protect the world in any way?

There will also be protagonist calibration.

“Is there anything else I can get you? ”

Once I got everything that looked expensive on Lee Jin-woo.

Everything in the ornament shed was also a pile of silverware.

Most of them were pure gold or expensive jewelry, so I had no choice but to take them.

However, the owner was Lee Jin-woo.

“This is enough to make a living somewhere far away. ”

Since the Bible says that all support will be cut off, the money will have to earn itself.

Is that why it's more crooked? Anyway, I'm glad it's before the beginning of the original. ’

I didn't even know this was the occasion when the original Lee Jin-woo was born.

However, Jinwoo did not feel bad.

With what I had now, I was able to raise rent money and have a good life for a few years.

Do we really need to take action to be a successor again?

He attends one of the world's leading universities and is young.

I had to go to the army, but if I was able to do it, I would be exempt.

On the bright side, all the conditions were good.

“Huh?"

Jinwoo searched the desk and found a bunch of documents.

Lee Jin-woo and the documents didn't match at all.

He's been studying and fencing since the beginning.

Jinwoo leaned in and opened the document.

It was filled with familiar photographs and information.

‘· · · Maids? ’

The photograph was the faces of the maids working in the mansion.

‘Lee Mi-hui, 23 years old. My mother is in the hospital and terminal stage of stomach cancer. Lack of hospital fees · · · · · · · · ·. ’

It contained detailed demographic information.

I could see why Lee Jin-woo had this information.

It was not explicitly written, but it was clearly for blackmail.

“Wow, that's garbage. If I had studied like this, I would have gone to university on my own. ”

I was fortunate to find the note before it got into someone else's hands.

Jinwoo burns the notebook in the fireplace containing potentially intimidating information.

It may seem odd to start a fireplace in the summer, but it's better than leaving a trail.

"In fiction and drama, you leave something like this behind and you get angry. ’

Such sweet potato mixed deployments were no more.

All that was left was a document with personal information.

It was only a matter of family and roughly difficult things.

Isn't this even a personal information leak?

Apparently, there was also Juna's file.

Jinwoo was curious when he saw Juna's file.

I was just about to read it.

“Are you all packed? ”

Hmph!

I trembled in shock at the voice coming from behind me.

I turned my head and saw Lee Min-woo standing there smiling slightly.

I saw him again in one day, but he was filthy handsome.

Now that the house had become Lee Min-woo's, it was natural for him to be here.

If I remember correctly, I was able to handle the space.

If he had his heart, he could have erased his own life.

‘He wants to expel me quickly. ’

I didn't fully understand that heart and overflowed.

And I could find another one of the reasons why employees were happy.

“What's that?”
