## Chapter 64 – 07. Mess Around and Find Out
+++
“Master, about that Jeon Seong-hyeon you mentioned.”
“Yeah.”
“It’s a bit complicated; you need to listen carefully.”
Do I really need to listen carefully about some nobody?
But I listen anyway.
“First, among the women who could be called Chairman Hyeon’s partners, there’s a woman with the surname Min. One of her daughters, the fourth one, has a husband, and that husband’s sister’s third son is Jeon Seong-hyeon.”
“Huh?”
Something’s off.
“The third son of the sister of the husband of the fourth daughter of Madam Min.”
“…Wait, what? Then they’re not even blood-related, are they?”
Up to the fourth daughter of Madam Min, who is the chairman’s partner, there’s the grandfather’s blood, but the third son of the husband’s sister isn’t even related to that daughter. It’s just a connection through marriage, isn’t it?
Am I calculating wrong?
“Strictly speaking, yes. But in our country, marriage is often seen as a union between families, right? So, they seem to be generally recognized as distant relatives within Prestige. It’s like ‘distant relative treatment’.”
“Seriously? If they include all that riffraff, there must be about 3,000 distant relatives.”
“There are 4,516 people registered as ‘distant relatives’ in Prestige. Among them, only about 70 can really be considered blood-related.”
“Wow, seriously.”
Is that why there was so much discrimination?
Because they loosely recognize distant relatives, the average purity of the blood is very low, so they don’t even treat them like family? Is that it?
‘Or maybe the cause and effect are reversed. Maybe they broadly recognize distant relatives to justify that kind of treatment.’
The fewer, the stronger the privileges.
If the number increases?
The benefits naturally weaken.
This is the same for any group.
‘If that’s the case, the real distant relatives must be incredibly dissatisfied.’
They’re actually blood-related, but they’re being lumped together with these weirdos and devalued as a result.
How annoying must that be?
“Anyway, he is considered a distant relative, right?”
“Yes.”
A guy with no blood relation is acting like a distant relative and daring to interfere with my work.
Guilt by association, doubled.
“Then I need to send a warning. What should I tell him?”
“Is it really necessary?”
“Huh?”
“You directly ordered the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, and thanks to that, the special investigation is ongoing. You also posted articles about the special investigation. Wouldn’t anyone with half a brain understand your intentions?”
“Really? Now that you mention it, it seems so.”
Well, I didn’t directly tell that Jeon Seong-hyeon guy, so he might not know…
If he doesn’t, he’ll just have to die. What else can I do?
“Then let’s wait and see. The special investigation is ongoing anyway. Keep a close eye on whether he interferes again.”
“Yes, Master.”

The next day.
From morning, Special Prosecutor Lee Na-eun’s position was completely different.
Out of the blue, massive support was organized from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
Full implant procedures were offered to those affiliated with the special investigation, as well as travel expenses, personnel, medical and support AV, and so on.
The level of support was unprecedented.
Just yesterday morning, it seemed like the special investigation would be disbanded, but not only did the decision change to continue, but they’re receiving this massive support overnight??
Anyone capable of thinking would naturally assume something’s up.
“…What on earth is going on…? It wasn’t like this yesterday.”
“…”
To her colleague’s fuss, reporter Yoon Ha-yeong gave a faint smile.
“Maybe she’s got a sugar daddy. Our special prosecutor.”
“…Excuse me? What are you talking about! To the prosecutor!!”
“I’m just kidding.”
“What kind of joke is that! Do you know you’ve been acting strange for the past few days, reporter? Aren’t you overdoing it?”
“Overdoing it? I’m working for ‘justice’.”
As she said that, her eyes, looking at the piled-up support documents and supplies, were almost lifeless.
“Could Prosecutor Lee Na-eun have some incredible backing?”
“That’s what I’m saying. She was so confident yesterday, saying the special investigation would never be disbanded.”
“But wasn’t this special investigation being shut down… due to pressure from higher-ups? That was the implication. To overturn that, what on earth…”
“This doesn’t seem like a simple sugar daddy.”
“Was it even a sugar daddy in the first place? That’s not her personality. Don’t you know that after working with her?”
“How can you know someone’s true colors after working with them for just a few days? You know that. You’re so sweet.”
It was a huge topic among the prosecutors as well.
The special investigation’s position and the view of Special Prosecutor Lee Na-eun had changed overnight.
‘Interesting these days.’
Lee Na-eun smiled slyly.
They had treated her like she didn’t exist until recently, excluding her from the group, but now they’re looking at her with fresh eyes, and a shallow sense of joy surged within her.
It wasn’t like this before.
Her emotions didn’t rise like this every day.
Her daily life was always bland, and even when she tried to seek stimulation, she couldn’t feel it properly unless it was at a level that completely wore her down.
But now, she’s experiencing different stimulation every day.
Even if it’s not intense, it’s a world of difference compared to when she couldn’t feel anything at all.
‘Ah… I pledge allegiance to you, my Master?’
Although there was a somewhat impure intention, she once again swore allegiance to Go Mu-yeol.
If she was by his side, she felt like she could experience stimulation every day.
*Ding.*
Just then.
“…?”
Lee Na-eun received a summons from the Incheon Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
+++
Five minutes before Special Prosecutor Lee Na-eun received the summons.
*Tap.*
“Hmm~. Not bad. As expected, our Chief Prosecutor uses good beans.”
“…”
A young man was sitting in the Incheon Supreme Prosecutors’ Office Chief Prosecutor’s office, even in the seat of honor, with his legs crossed.
He took the coffee brewed by the Chief Prosecutor’s secretary, leisurely smelled it, and then slurped it down.
The Deputy Chief Prosecutor, who had been pushed to second-in-command, hid his discomfort and said,
“Young Master, the reason you came here so suddenly—”
“You know why. Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“Ahem.”
He avoided eye contact and cleared his throat.
“Continuing the special investigation is the will of the citizens of Incheon, and furthermore, the people of Korea. Our prosecution is a group with the duty to uphold that will and realize justice.”
“Oh, really? I don’t know when the will of the people suddenly entered our prosecution. If democracy enters the judiciary, isn’t that the end of the judiciary? That’s what I know.”
He leaned back, lowered his body to put down the coffee, and then leaned back on the sofa again.
A young punk naturally sprawled out in the best seat, which only the Chief Prosecutor could sit in.
As the Chief Prosecutor, who was approaching 60, he was extremely displeased, but there was nothing he could do.
To continue living in Korea, he couldn’t afford to be on the wrong side of any part of the Korea Group.
“Let’s cut the crap, we all know why you’re here. The reason our Chief Prosecutor is keeping the special investigation going is because he’s concerned about Korea Entertainment, right?”
“That’s—”
“Okay, okay. The special investigation has to continue. The higher-ups told the prosecution to do it, so what else can we do? I’m not that narrow-minded.”
“…”
“Instead, I just want to see the face of that Lee Na-eun special prosecutor.”
“Lee Na-eun… the special prosecutor?”
“She must have a lot of hardships. I want to encourage her and have a conversation. Huh?”
“…”
The Chief Prosecutor could easily see through his intentions.
“…Young Master, you shouldn’t touch things that already belong to someone. Especially if it belongs to an insider.”
“What?”
“I’m giving you this advice out of concern.”
“What are you talking about!! Why are you talking about something that belongs to someone here!”
Finally, his patience ran out, and his temper flared.
The Chief Prosecutor maintained his composure even at the young punk’s rude remarks.
“…As you said, the reason the special investigation is continuing is because of Korea Entertainment. You know why Korea Entertainment is trying to keep Lee Na-eun’s special investigation going, don’t you?”
“What reason? That’s just because they saw an article and got scared, so they’re perceiving it that way. Korea Entertainment doesn’t have any thoughts about it. It’s just advertising, advertising that they’re clean.”
“Excuse me?”
What is he talking about?
Something,
Is going wrong?
“Ah, ah. Forget it, forget it. Do the special investigation. Do whatever you want. If you’re worried about what others think, what can I do? Do whatever you want. Instead, just call Lee Na-eun! I’ll take care of the rest!”
“…”
The Chief Prosecutor sensed something was wrong, but he didn’t feel the need to correct him.
This arrogant punk.
Let him get a taste of his own medicine.
He nodded, pretending to be unable to resist.
“…I understand. I’ll summon Lee Na-eun.”
And so,
Special Prosecutor Lee Na-eun was summoned to the Incheon Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
“This is Lee Na-eun from the Incheon District Prosecutors’ Office, Criminal Division 3.”
“Oh, oh. Yes. Special Prosecutor Lee Na-eun. Welcome. This person here is—”
“I’m Jeon Seong-hyeon from the Korea Group. It’s dangerous to know the details. Just know that I’m a reeeeally high-ranking person.”
“…”
It was supposed to be an interview with the Chief Prosecutor, but when she arrived, a greasy loafer was occupying the seat.
Moreover, his name was Jeon Seong-hyeon. The same name as the man she had put on the list of investigation targets.
‘Should I call this refreshing, or familiar~.’
She roughly got the picture.
Jeon Seong-hyeon was a man who liked women so much that he was a major target for entertainment agencies’ sexual favors.
He must have taken a liking to Lee Na-eun’s appearance and harbored impure thoughts.
And a person consumed by desire usually rushes in without looking back. Like a moth to a flame.
“Wow… you’re much better in person~. Is this the first time we’ve met like this? Sit down. We have plenty of time, so take your ti—”
“I’ll go to the restroom first.”
“—me…. What?”
“Huh? Hey, what are you doi—”
She immediately burst out of the Chief Prosecutor’s office and brushed past the secretary, who was rising from her desk with a puzzled look.
Soon, Jeon Seong-hyeon popped out from behind and shouted, but she ignored him and went down a floor to the hallway stairs.
And went straight to the restroom.
She called Go Mu-yeol.
– Yeah. Is everything okay with the special investigation?
“Yes. The special investigation is continuing, and the support is great. But I’d say a crisis of life and death has arrived.”
– A crisis of life and death? What are you talking about.
“A crisis where Master’s fucktoy… might be eaten by someone else?”
– …What?
The atmosphere on the other end of the phone changed.
The outburst of fierce possessiveness.
For some reason, feeling excited by it, Lee Na-eun continued.
“I was summoned to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. I went to the Chief Prosecutor’s office, and Jeon Seong-hyeon was there.”
– ….
“He was looking me over with a veeery lewd gaze…. At this rate, I might get other cum inside me?”
*Click.*
The call was cut off.
She had the feeling that he had started running over right away.
“Ah, Master is really something.”
