## Chapter 219 – 22. New Year
+++
The grand match lasted nearly five hours.
The victor was Grandpa.
I don’t really know how to read the game of Go, so I couldn’t follow the flow of the match or read the board, but from what the commentators were saying, it was a pretty close game.
The level of play was so high that there were many moments where people were surprised, and even the tens of thousands of spectators who were forced to watch were impressed.
But I didn’t know anything, so I didn’t feel any of that.
‘But isn’t Grandpa playing according to Master Han Guk-yeong’s instructions? That means his opponent is unbelievably good.’
Master Han Guk-yeong is known as the greatest Go player in human history.
Even with the latest trends, Grandpa has been preparing and researching with him for the past few months.
In other words, the current Han Guk-yeong is like a legendary prototype Zero unit with the latest firmware update.
‘Now that I look at him, he seems really young.’
It was hard to tell because his opponent looked dejected and had messy hair, but if you paid a little attention, he looked like he was just barely an adult or a high school student.
Of course, you can’t judge age by appearance.
Just look at Grandpa, who is in his late 70s, almost 80s, but looks like just another guy.
With the epoch-making anti-aging technology that erases aging, it’s impossible to tell age by appearance.
It’s not just suppressing aging or making you look younger, it’s literally rolling back your physical age. If 20 years old is the goal, it’s a dream technology that makes you 20 years old, so it’s almost impossible to distinguish age by appearance.
Of course, it costs a fortune to target a young age.
Anyway, even considering that, there’s a certain atmosphere that people have depending on their age, but Ji Seong-jun, Grandpa’s opponent, didn’t have that adult feel.
At best, a college student?
“Ah~. That was a really great match. The level was really high.”
“I agree. Every move they made was flawless.”
“Being able to see such a high-level match from the beginning of the league is really exciting. Especially Ko Yeong-man, who has been showing a lot of unexpected sides, like in last year’s special match, right?”
“That’s right. I’m really surprised too. But I think we need to pay attention to Ji Seong-jun’s progress as well.”
“Exactly! Ji Seong-jun has completely made up for the shortcomings he showed last year. Ji Seong-jun was somewhat weak in defense compared to offense and made a lot of mistakes in the endgame, but he didn’t show any of that in today’s match.”
“On the other hand, Ko Yeong-man, who completely crushed Ji Seong-jun, is really…”
The two commentators reviewed the match and poured out their admiration.
On the screen, Grandpa was seen seriously reviewing the match, and Ji Seong-jun was scratching his messy hair and placing stones with his cotton-like hands.
I haven’t known Grandpa for long, but this is the first time I’ve seen him with such a serious face.
– Wow
– They look so good together
– Doesn’t it look like a grandfather and grandson?
– What do I do?
– Looks like you’re going to lose your spot lol
– I’m already a beggar
– What to do
– lololol
Ko Min-ji kept picking on me.
She was trying to scratch me with nonsense, but sorry, I’m not scratched at all.
– Why am I a beggar?
– I have 16 trillion won
– Trillion, my ass lol
– My backyard
– You could dig it up
– You little shit
– Who are you giving it to?
– You’re being too harsh
– There’s no such land
– You damn bitch.
Why is she talking such nonsense?
Her mental world is really childish.
– If Grandpa abandons you
– The only thing you can do
– Is marry me
– You shouldn’t talk like that
– You cute thing
– Speak nicely and lovingly ^^
– ㅗ
– If you score well
– I’ll wrap you up in my warm pussy
– And give you lots of massages
– If you say ㅗ again
– No mercy
– ㅗ
– You fucking bitch
While I was chatting with Ko Min-ji, Grandpa and Ji Seong-jun were shaking hands and greeting each other on the screen.
The review probably isn’t finished yet, but they must have just pointed out the important parts in a hurry so that everyone wouldn’t have to wait too long.
And after that greeting, the two of them left the match hall and came out onto the stage.
When Grandpa appeared, everyone who was sitting stood up and applauded, and Grandpa raised his hand as if he was happy.
‘He looks the happiest I’ve ever seen him.’
So Go is the answer.

All the events related to Go are over.
The time is 6:50 PM.
The next event is the New Year’s celebration, which is really huge.
While the Go match was taking place in the Sun Palace Plaza, the huge banquet hall across from it was being set up, and as a result, a huge banquet was prepared for thousands of people to attend at once.
And they celebrate the first night of the New Year by running four such banquet halls at the same time.
On the surface, it’s just an event to play, drink, and have fun, and you can do that if you want, but the essence of a banquet is networking and politics, right?
The fun of these events is meeting people, being introduced, giving and receiving help, and maximizing profits.
Of course, I don’t enjoy that.
I’m not very smart, and I’m not good at politics, so doing something in that snake-infested environment is exhausting.
Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about much as a direct descendant.
Rather, they’ll 맞춰 my feelings. I can do whatever I want and there won’t be any major problems. Probably.
‘Let’s take a look around and take notes.’
As the head of a company, I need to keep this in mind.
When I go back, I’ll have to give the same, or at least something similar, to Koryo Entertainment and its subsidiaries, and the members who belong to them.
Still, it’s a new year, so I have to create a New Year’s atmosphere.
“I thought I was going to die of boredom.”
Ko Min-ji sighed deeply and approached.
Her face was unnecessarily flushed, so anyone could tell that something was wrong.
“Sis, were you really bored? Or were you happy thinking about my dick? Your face is completely excited?”
“You little shit~. Do you think I’d be happy just thinking about it~.”
She subtly stuck to me and touched my body.
She especially tapped and gently stroked the area around my dick, and I felt like I was going to get an erection right away.
“You have to experience it to be happy~.”
“But Sis, your pussy is a mess, so you can’t do it right now.”
“Who’s a mess? I’m perfectly fine.”
“I wonder how it’ll be.”
I took her hand away.
Her touch felt good, but we were still in a place where other people were, so it wasn’t good to be too close.
“Aren’t you two being too close for cousins?”
See?
This is how the check comes in.
‘But who is this…’
“Anyone would think you’re siblings.”
“…Siblings usually have worse relationships.”
Ko Min-yeong intervened, grabbing Ko Min-ji’s shoulder and subtly separating us.
“Is that so?”
She seems to be looking at her own daughter with a strangely cold gaze…
The Vice President looks scary when she looks like that.
Ko Min-ji is feeling fear, but she’s standing up to her (?).
‘What is this?’
Is this the catfight I’ve only heard about?
A battle between two women to win me over.
But aren’t they already aware of it, even if they’re just vaguely pretending not to see?
Ko Min-ji knows that her mother is having sex with me, and Ko Min-yeong knows that her daughter is having sex with me…
Looking at the family atmosphere, it seems like I’m going to have to take care of all the women in the family anyway.
‘Well. The reality of the situation and emotions are two different things.’
It seems difficult to avoid troubles with women in my life.
“But why are you glaring like that? At your mother.”
“W, what are you talking about? I’m just looking.”
“You’re not a cat.”
“A cat!”
The direction of the conversation is getting weirder and weirder.
I need to mediate.
“Ahem, shall we go now? It’s almost time for dinner. Grandpa must be waiting. And the others.”
“…”
Ko Min-yeong looked at me with complicated eyes and then subtly averted her gaze.
Her face was also flushed.
“That human abandoned us.”
“…Yes?”
“Haa.”
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Abandoned?
“He said he had to review the Go game with that little kid, Jin Seong-jun or Ji Seong-jun, and he just ran off.”
“…”
“He told us to have dinner by ourselves.”
“No, that’s…”
Is it that bad??
“Oh~ my. That old man always runs off to strange places.”
Other aunts intervened.
Ko Ha-yeong and Ko Seon-ah.
Each had their daughters, Ko Ha-yan and Ko Seon-yul, by their sides.
“It can’t be helped. He’s not the type to come when you call him.”
“Let’s go by ourselves.”
Um…
So we’re really having dinner with this group?
It’s going to be really awkward.
‘I’m the only guy.’
What am I going to do, I’m going to be drained.
