Chapter 758 – This Is Real Power.
Today, in the secret room where Jinseok Lee was brought in during the day, Chairman Ron was having a conversation with three people.
“Raisen, how are you these days? Are you still playing with money?”
“Hehe… Brother, what you said about playing with money is harsh. There is a fancy way of saying that you are managing your funds through investments.”
“Is that just playing with money?”
Chairman Ron, sitting at the head table, makes fun of a man who is similar in age to him.
And the man named Raisen, who heard those words, just laughed and accepted his teasing.
Similar to Chairman Ron, he is old and has completely gray hair. His name is Raisen Halio.
His job was to be the head of a huge bank named MN.
“Why, there’s nothing wrong with what the chairman said.”
“Michel, why are you doing this again?”
A woman who takes Chairman Ron’s words and makes fun of Raisen.
Her full name is Michelle Lion
She was a member of the Lion family, one of the most powerful members of the U.S. Senate.
“Everyone, stop teasing me. Why do you make fun of Brother Raisen every time we meet?”
As the two of them were making fun of Raisen Halio, it was the job of Deroy Loeffler, the youngest person here, to mediate.
He married Chairman Ron’s daughter and was related by blood, and had tremendous power thanks to the support of the Keitel military company.
He is the most powerful among the members of the House of Representatives and can be promoted to the Senate at any time, but he purposely does not move up, and along with Michelle, he is the one who holds a tight grip on the political world.
“I did it because I was upset about the last debt.”
“Has your father-in-law done that once or twice because of debt?”
“I guess I’m doing this because you won’t let me go over it once.”
“No, my brother, you keep tripping over your fan. If you look at it, what are we going to make a living from?”
“The guy with the most money here is so petty about it!”
These are all people who have known each other for at least 10 years.
Chairman Ron created his own people to win military deals to the United States.
In particular, Michelle, a senator, and Raisen, the president of MN Bank, have been together for over 30 years.
Maybe that’s why they got along well with each other despite the significant age difference.
This was because it was an organization where everyone supported each other and helped each other in their respective positions.
“So why did you collect this much today? “I think this meeting has already ended.”
“Why are you so impatient! Let’s have a conversation and get to the point.”
“Huh… I never knew you were that kind of person. “I just talk about the main point every day and end it.”
“Don’t miss a word! “One word!”
Old Ron glares at Raisen’s disgusting words as if he were disgusted.
Raisen is a person who has been in a relationship with Chairman Ron since he was in the steel business.
They have known each other for longer than Michelle, so they always fight like a joke whenever they meet.
“I’m curious about that, too. What did the Chairman bring us together for?”
“I’m curious too. “My father-in-law.”
Banking, politics, business.
Whenever these three moved together, America was always in an uproar.
Since each person has tremendous power in their respective fields, it is inevitable that an uproar will occur.
Even in the United States, they are wary of their meetings, so they meet only once a year, but now that that has broken off, everyone can’t help but be curious.
Chairman Ron was troubled by the sight of them urging him on for some reason even though they hadn’t even had a proper conversation yet.
‘How should I say this…’
Since the government is wary of their meetings, originally they only meet once and that’s it.
In order to avoid further contact and arouse unnecessary suspicion, they planned something for at least three years.
I kept it like that for over 10 years, but today I broke it for the first time, so everyone is bound to be curious.
However, Chairman Ron could not easily speak out.
How can I get it out, when a bright-faced young guy suddenly appears and says he will eat America?
‘I’m at an age where everyone is dying because of that guy, but I’m having a hard time.’
Chairman Ron thought of Lee Jin-seok when he saw the three of them urging each other on.
I thought he was just the son of a friendly mercenary couple, but he was hiding his true nature as a monster even greater than them.
Even I, who had met him and talked to him in person, had no idea about his true nature. Can they, who have not even met me yet, believed what he said?
The moment I opened my mouth, thinking about how to persuade those three who don’t trust people easily.
-Tiririri!
“No, at what time is it that you bring your cell phone!”
“Chairman, isn’t this too careless?”
“A person who has never done that. “What’s going on today?”
Because the government is on guard, we don’t bring any electronic devices here, but when Chairman Ron’s cell phone rang, everyone couldn’t help but be sensitive.
But.
“Everyone be quiet! “I’ll take a phone call for a moment!”
Chairman Ron, who checked the name that popped up on his phone, ignored their words and was very nervous.
It was a call from a pale young monster who had put him in trouble.
‘I’m still enjoying the banquet, so there’s no way I’m getting a call?’
I told them in advance that I would be late because I had work to do, so there was no way I would get a call.
However, receiving a phone call in this situation clearly means that something has happened.
President Ron, who knew the monster’s abilities and had no idea what it would do, couldn’t help but be more nervous than ever.
“I’ll go first!!”
“Brother!”
“Chairman!!”
“Father-in-law! Where are you going!”
After finishing all the calls, Chairman Ron hurried out with a contemplative look on his face, and everyone had no choice but to ask the reason with a serious look.
In all the time I’ve known him, I’ve never seen him call in such a panic.
The fact that he was so cool-headed that it made you wonder if his brain was made of a robot is something big has definitely happened.
Realizing that this was not a situation where they would just sit still, the three began to follow Chairman Ron.
———————–
After receiving the call from Jin-seok Lee, Ron Keitel quickly arrived at the banquet hall and his face hardened when he saw the scene unfolding.
‘What kind of idiot…!’
Chairman Ron, who knew that Jinseok Lee had tremendous abilities, was angry at who had done this.
Through background research, we already know what kind of personality he has and what he considers important.
Due to his love for women, he will not tolerate anything if the woman he carries is insulted.
He approached to see if someone had touched the nose hairs of a monster worse than a sleeping lion, and was soon able to find the culprit.
‘Huh…’
Seeing him sitting on the floor and clutching his hands, it was clear who the culprit was.
The Hanson family has known and trusted them for a long time and has been subcontracting military parts.
He said that when the banquet was held today, he was sick and was in the hospital, so I heard that he was sending his son. I didn’t know that he would do something like this.
No, he knew that his son was an asshole, but he never expected that something would happen in a situation like this.
‘We’re in big trouble…’
The devil with whom he made a deal is not one who will leave alone those who are hostile to him.
Don’t you know his nature just by looking at the fact that terrorists, whose identity he couldn’t even identify, killed his parents for messing with them?
The fact that he can kill a hostile person at such a young age makes him an extremely dangerous person.
“Everyone, get out of the way!”
“Chairman, Chairman!!”
Everyone is taken aback by Chairman Ron’s appearance and leaves room for him to go.
The words of Chairman Ron, who held the highest authority here, were no different from law.
“Grandpa!!”
Thanks to his father, Le Vert’s face brightens as he has a close relationship with Chairman Ron that allows him to call him his grandfather.
‘You are dead now!’
As soon as Chairman Ron appeared, Le Vert even forgot about the pain of breaking the back of his hand and smiled confidently.
He is close enough to a person with great power that he can call him his grandfather.
The other person will definitely be scared, tremble, and bow their head to themselves.
Just as I was about to watch the rude Asian apologize to his grandfather for yelling at him.
“This ugly guy!!”
-Wow!!
“Huh…?”
Le Vert, who had been expecting to see his opponent crawling on the floor like a dog while his grandfather shouted, was dazed by the pain he felt on his own cheek.
‘Grandpa, why me…?’
The pain I feel in my cheek right now should not have been felt by me, but by the Asian person in front of me.
When Le Vert was still dazed by a situation that his head was not aware of.
“You have to watch your opponent before attacking! Did your father teach you that?”
“Ha, grandfather…?”
Chairman Ron, who scolded Le Vert with a very angry face, immediately turned his head and bowed to Lee Jin-seok and apologized.
“I’m sorry… You suffered great harm because of the guests I invited…”
“Sir, why would you bring a horny cub to a place like this?”
“It’s all my fault, so won’t you look at my face and do this much…?”
“Hey, what’s the use of receiving an apology from the old man? “I have to get it from the person concerned.”
“This guy! “Can’t you hurry up and apologize!!”
Not only LeVert but also everyone here could not come to their senses due to Chairman Ron’s sudden apology.
“What is this?”
“Well, that’s right… It’s my first time seeing the Chairman like this…”
“My father-in-law bowed his head to that pale-faced young person…?”
The same was true for the trio who followed Chairman Ron in the secret room.
Until now, I have never once seen him bow his head to anyone.
These are the people who know better than anyone else his character of not bending even if he breaks.
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed that Chairman Ron was bowing his head to a pale young man who was not even the president.
And among them, the one who was most embarrassed was LeVert.
“Ha, grandfather! What does that mean! “I can’t believe I’m apologizing to an Asian like this!!”
“Shut up!!”
LeVert grew up without any shortcomings from a young age and was steeped in white supremacist ideology.
There was nothing in his life that didn’t turn out the way he wanted, and no matter what he did, it was always the other person who was at fault.
But.
Now, for the first time in his life, he was faced with a situation where he was wronged by his opponent.
‘Really… This is an opponent that would make your grandfather bow his head? That bright blue baby?!’
He felt unfair when he was asked to apologize to the same kid who couldn’t live half as long as he did because of his Asian appearance.
It was all that guy’s fault. It is you who suffered, and it is you who is harmed.
But why do I have to apologize to that lowly Asian?
Of course, it was LeVert who was rude first, and it was he who put pressure on the Asian woman next to her because he liked her appearance.
But what did it matter? In this world where the weak against the weak is divided into prey and predator, it was natural for the weak to be eaten.
Unfortunately, what LeVert did not know was that his opponent was a predator at the top of the food chain with tremendous power.
So far, he’s only won because he’s higher up the food chain, but if he meets a predator higher up the food chain, he’ll have to do the same thing he did.
And not from the perspective of a familiar predator, but from the perspective of a prey that he has been tormenting for a long time.
“You can’t apologize quickly!!”
“… “I’m sorry.”
Although I still did not understand this situation, LeVert had no choice but to apologize.
If he didn’t apologize now, there was no way he could handle Chairman Ron’s anger.
“I don’t really like apples.”
“You… I hope you can get over this just by looking at my face…”
“Young Master, is that beast that important to you?”
“This is the son of an acquaintance I’ve known for a long time. I’ll apologize too…”
Since it was obvious that I had no choice but to apologize, I was planning to make him apologize more properly, but Chairman Ron stopped me.
Looking at his attitude, I think it was not because of my acquaintance’s son, but because I might lose my prestige if I tried to receive a proper apology in a crowded place.
After realizing the inspiration’s intention, I decided to move on from here.
Of course, I’m only going to move on from here for now. It was impossible for the punishment given to the beast that targeted the woman I had chosen to end with just an apology.
“I will move on after seeing your face. Instead, we will no longer be able to enjoy the banquet here today.”
Having decided to deal with LeVert later, I left the banquet hall holding Kang So-ra’s hand.
