The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 126

#126

Time flowed indifferently.

There was no contact from inside.

Park Chang-soo and Kwak Hyun-soo kept checking their watches.

Ten minutes since Jung-hoon went in.

If there was no contact after 20 minutes, they had to push in.

Trying to hide his anxiety, Kwak Hyun-soo said,

“Are we cleaning up Gangnam today?”

“Yes, the boss wants it done in one day.”

“That won’t be easy.”

“There’s the most important building in Gangnam. We just need to take that over.”

“Is that the one with all the ten-percenters in a 20-story building?”

“Yes, the ‘Sky’ ten-percenter club. Young entrepreneurs, second and third-generation *chaebols* [family-owned conglomerates], and celebrities gather there.”

Kwak Hyun-soo nodded silently.

It seemed like it would be a very long day.

A text message arrived.

“Let’s start.”

The three prepared dump trucks started their engines.

The rough sound of the diesel engines rumbled, shaking the ground.

The engines roared.

Spewing white smoke, they moved forward.

The dump trucks pushed into the building, crushing the weak tile-stacked walls.

-Kwa kwa kwang.

The walls of Daewon House collapsed helplessly.

They broke through the walls and entered the inner grounds of Daewon House.

A sudden attack.

-Aaaagh!

A scream swallowed the serene Daewon House.

The dump trucks moved back and forth, trampling the manicured gardens of Daewon House.

Sturdy men poured out of the truck beds.

“Hit them!”

People became entangled.

The knife cut flesh,

And blood poured from the wounds.

The employees of Daewon House did not back down and advanced forward.

The madness in their eyes.

The employees of Hwashin Distribution flinched for a moment.

However, they had been trained through numerous real battles, and they suppressed Daewon House’s sharp madness with their fists.

Before long, all the employees of Daewon House were lying on the floor, groaning.

-Ugh.

-Ugh.

Kwak Hyun-soo, as he always had, cut the Achilles tendons and ligaments of those who had fallen.

Rendering them unable to use their strength again.

He entered the depths of Daewon House with an indifferent face.

***

A sharp blade grazed Eun-soo’s arm.

Madam Jung’s knife was fast and flexible.

Eun-soo, who had never faced a proper opponent until now, was flustered.

She understood why the men who had been threatening Eun-soo and Jung-hoon outside the door had disappeared.

Madam Jung thought she could subdue Jung-hoon and Eun-soo.

“Be careful!”

-Ugh

This time, blood seeped from Eun-soo’s thigh.

Jung-hoon stood up.

It was time for him to step in.

Eun-soo raised both hands and stepped back.

Jung-hoon glared at her with a stern face.

There was no reason to waste time.

But she was a fragile woman.

He had to control his strength.

-Ugh

Her sharp knife cut his forearm.

“I underestimated you too much. I’ll finish this now.”

The silver tip of the knife pushed towards Jung-hoon’s heart.

He moved his foot lightly and twisted his body.

He crossed his arms up and down like scissors.

Her arm inside was broken, and a tearing scream erupted.

-Aaaagh!

Her arm, folded in reverse, dangled limply.

He planted his fist in the middle of her small face.

With a strong impact, her body slammed into the wall.

Madam Jung lost consciousness.

He poured cold water on her as she lay on the floor.

Regaining consciousness, she slowly shook her head and raised her body.

She was covering her right arm, which had its ligaments severed.

“Who’s behind you?”

“You’re curious about who’s behind me? Not my body?”

“You’re too old to be joking like that.”

Madam Jung glared at Jung-hoon viciously.

“That person will come for you someday. You just wait.”

“I’m bored of waiting, so I’m going to go find them. Is it the Cheonji Association?”

“Hmph, well, try to find them if you can.”

Madam Jung put her left hand deep into her chest and took out a small pill.

She put it in her mouth in an instant.

“No!”

It was when Jung-hoon was about to stop her.

Kwak Hyun-soo grabbed Jung-hoon.

“It’s poison. Don’t get close.”

Madam Jung’s body writhed grotesquely.

She moved her head from side to side.

Her large eyes widened grotesquely, as if her eyeballs would spill out.

After staring at Eun-soo for a while, blood-red tears poured from her eyes.

“I’ll go ahead and wait. Lady Shinnyeo!”

Her neck was thrown back, and her chest soared to the sky.

Soon her body slumped, and no sound was heard.

She stopped breathing.

Kwak Hyun-soo carefully approached Madam Jung.

He closed her eyes, which had a bizarre expression.

“She’s terrible. Who the hell is she?”

“It doesn’t seem easy to reveal the backer.”

“Let’s clean up and get out.”

Park Chang-soo approached with a pile of videotapes he had found in the secret room.

The raw faces of the elites who controlled Korea, including legal figures, media personalities, and *chaebol* chairmen, were captured on tape.

“Boss!”

‘Boss? It’s much better than Young Master. Did everyone agree to unify the title like that?’

He felt a bit of resistance to Chairman, but Boss felt right at home.

“Should we just blow this up on the internet? I heard the boss has a video site.”

Kwak Hyun-soo seriously suggested.

“YouTube, I acquired it a long time ago. That sounds like a good idea. Let’s upload it there as private for now, so we can release it at any time.”

“That’s a good idea, Chairman.”

Park Chang-soo also agreed.

“Let’s take a breather and then go to Gangnam. Let’s hit it during peak hours.”

“Peak hours?”

Everyone looked worried.

But Jung-hoon didn’t care.

“11 PM. If possible, call a lot of broadcasting reporters too.”

His pupils fluttered.

“The prosecution and police will stick to us. Are you okay with that?”

“Yes, let’s show the raw faces of the social leaders. If possible, let’s broadcast it live on video too. It’ll be fun to see people running out naked.”

“Okay, Boss, we’ll prepare it that way.”

Jung-hoon smiled, imagining what would happen.

-Kwakwakwang!

A huge excavator slammed down on the roofs of the detached houses inside Daewon House.

Because it was made of wood, the building collapsed as soon as it was pressed down.

The two excavators destroyed all the buildings, leaving only the walls surrounding Daewon House.

The splendid Daewon House became a ruin in a day.

*

The Bugatti with Jung-hoon, Eun-soo, and Kwak Hyun-soo crossed the Han River at a rapid pace.

A 20-story building near Gangnam Station was a ten-percenter club.

The best room salon [exclusive hostess bar] in Korea.

The ten-percenter of ten-percenters, Sky.

Jung-hoon looked at the monstrous building.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, Boss.”

“Let’s go in.”

It was the moment when Park Chang-soo’s Hwashin Distribution first entered Gangnam.

Surrounding the Tenpro Sky Building, they held steel pipes and entered the building.

As Jung-hoon instructed, they smashed everything they saw.

And pressed the fire alarm.

People who locked the doors from the inside to avoid the gangsters’ fight.

They had no choice but to slowly come out into the hallway because of the fire alarm.

People wearing only underwear,

Middle-aged men wearing only shirts,

Old men with only ties on their heads,

And women poured out.

They ran towards the exit.

But they couldn’t get out.

“Get out of the way, you bastard? Do you know who I am? I’m Chief Judge Ma Dong-hoon of the Supreme Court.”

“Judge Ma Dong-hoon?”

A man with a rugged face swung a steel pipe at his arm.

-Aagh.

“Say it again.”

“Ah, no.”

Judge Ma covered his arm and stepped back.

“Everyone, go out slowly, one by one. Do you understand?”

Everyone bowed their heads at the rugged voice.

Those who were social leaders bowed their heads and slowly went outside.

There were reporters outside.

The reporters smiled brightly as they watched them come out one by one.

And gave them flashing flashes and shutter sounds.

“Are you perhaps Judge Ma Dong-hoon?”

“Chief Editor Ji Young-hoon of the Munhwa Ilbo?”

“Oh? President Bang Young-il of the Korea Daily?”

“Hey, get the camera out of here, you bastards!”

“Oh, is that Chairman Lee Jae-pil of the Hansu Group?”

The reporters shouted the names of the people who came out and cheered.

It was a scoop.

However, soon after, when the executives of their own companies appeared, their bright faces soon turned into rotten mud.

But the situation was different for TV broadcasting stations.

They were hostile competitors who had been biting each other.

The broadcasting reporters held the cameras close to the faces of the media executives.

“President Bang? What were you doing at the Korea Daily’s President Bang’s room salon? Oh, where are your pants?”

“Get the camera out of here, you son of a bitch.”

The viewership rating for the 12 o’clock news that evening was 40 percent.

It was the first time since the founding of the country that the midnight news was so popular.

“This place is similar to Daewon House. All the rooms are secretly filmed and recorded. There is a lot of data on third-generation *chaebols*, celebrities, and media officials.”

“Put that on YouTube too. We have to release it if necessary.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“But… there are hardly any soldiers. I’m sure the Ministry of National Defense soldiers receive a lot of entertainment from the defense industry.”

“I guess so, now that you mention it.”

‘Where are these guys playing?’

It’s not that the soldiers are so clean that they don’t get caught.

They must be enjoying entertainment elsewhere.

We must find them to get a hold of their lifelines.

“Among the data secured today, please organize the data of judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and police separately.”

“Okay.”

Jung-hoon collected data on legal figures.

Those who parasitize here and there and protect their territory.

We have to sweep them away properly this time.

“It’s me. I have good data, so use it well. I’ll send it by quick now.”

***

Park Hyun-cheol’s forehead furrowed as he watched the videos taken from Daewon House and Tenpro Sky.

On the one hand, he praised himself for restraining himself at Daewon House.

“I’m embarrassed to say this, but these guys are complete trash.”

“Ahem.”

Park Hyun-cheol glanced at Kang Cheol-joong and said awkwardly.

“I know, I know, Cheol-joong. This Park Hyun-cheol was also a piece of trash… Ahem. Well then, Cheol-joong goes to the court, and Su-ho takes over the Ministry of Justice. How about that?”

“Excuse me? Chief, I’ve already taken down two senior prosecutors, and if I do it today…”

“Ah, right, Su-ho’s nickname was the Guillotine of the Prosecutor’s Office. Then Cheol-joong goes to the Ministry of Justice. Su-ho goes to the court.”

“Yes.”

They both answered at the same time and got up from their seats.

Kim Su-ho went to the Supreme Court right next door.

He entered the courtroom with only one investigator.

The Supreme Court’s plenary session was in progress.

“Order, the original judgment is overturned, and the case is remanded to the Seoul High Court.”

The audience was in an uproar.

“Didn’t they take money from the *chaebol*?”

“Is this a ruling?”

The Chief Justice shouted.

“Be quiet.”

Prosecutor Kim Su-ho had no reason to waste time.

“Supreme Court Justice Kim Cheon-soo, Supreme Court Justice Shin Seong-hoon.”

The two men looked at Kim Su-ho.

“Who are you to call the names of Supreme Court justices in this sacred courtroom?”

Anger was written on his face.

“I’m Kim Su-ho, the Guillotine of the Prosecutor’s Office. I would appreciate it if you would come with me voluntarily.”

“Guillotine? Are you kidding in this sacred courtroom? And how dare a prosecutor ask a Supreme Court justice to come with you voluntarily?”

“I can come with you voluntarily. It’s true that I’m crazy. Please check this out too.”

The investigator who came with him handed the camcorder to the Supreme Court Justice.

On the small LCD screen were the two Supreme Court justices and the *chaebol* chairman who was the winner of today’s ruling.

“Supreme Court Justice, did you have fun at Daewon House?”

Kim Su-ho shouted loudly, and the surroundings buzzed.

“Ahem, stop it.”

The two Supreme Court justices got up from their seats and approached Kim Su-ho.

Kim Su-ho also bowed deeply and showed respect.

“Thank you, Supreme Court Justice.”

“Let’s go quickly.”

They followed Kim Su-ho without even taking off their robes.

Meanwhile, Kang Cheol-joong, who was going to the Ministry of Justice, bought two bottles of Cheongsimhwan [herbal medicine for calming nerves].

He couldn’t stop his pounding heart.

He was going to meet someone who was difficult to see even as a junior prosecutor.

“Hoo.”

Kang Cheol-joong took a long, deep breath and got off the elevator.

He turned to the right and walked vigorously.

He couldn’t be pushed back.

He had to arrest them today with a warrant.

He passed the secretary’s office.

“How did you get here?”

He ignored him and burst open the door.

The Minister of Justice and several prosecutors were visible.

“Who are you?”

One of the people who stood by the Minister of Justice got up and threw the documents.

“You crazy bastard, where did you learn such rudeness? Get out right now?”

Kang Cheol-joong smiled bitterly at him.

“I’ll proceed with Senior Prosecutor Cheon on charges of assault.”

“What?”

The blood vessels on his forehead popped out.

The Minister of Justice raised his hand to stop him.

“What do you have to say? If you came in so rudely, it must be an important matter.

Or… you’ll have to take off your clothes.”

“Yes. It’s because of what happened at Daewon House. Would you like to come with me?”

“Bring a warrant.”

“I don’t have a warrant. If you don’t go…”

Cheol-joong showed him the video.

A scene of him naked receiving a bag of money was clearly captured.

“What dirty tricks…”

The Minister of Justice clenched his teeth.

“If you refuse, I’ll get a warrant.”

It was when Kang Cheol-joong was about to go outside.

“Let’s go together.”

The situation of the Minister of Justice and two Supreme Court justices being investigated by the prosecution was reported in real time in the media.

Strong evidence was also leaked to the media.

The popularity of the righteous prosecutor Park Hyun-cheol soared.

He had already become the top candidate for the next Minister of Justice.

***

“The country is a mess.”

Cheon Seong-han clicked his tongue as he watched the news.

“Hey, you have to say it right. It was always a mess, wasn’t it? Hehehe.”

The Minister of Justice and two Supreme Court justices were arrested.

Rumor had it that it was because of a video taken at a *yoseok* [exclusive high-end establishment].

Han Pan-soo realized it at once.

It was clear that it was the video taken at Daewon House that had framed him.

“But what did those guys do wrong to you?”

“What are you talking about?”

Han Pan-soo carefully examined Cheon Seong-han’s expression.

He seemed to know nothing at all.

He didn’t seem to be involved in this situation.

He thought Cheon Seong-han was moving Daewon House…

‘What is it? Who did this?’

As a result of repeated thinking.

It was clear that the data from Daewon House had been leaked.

He needed to check it out.

“What’s going on today?”

He asked Cheon Seong-han.

“There’s a general promotion ceremony. 1 billion won, send it within this week.”

“Okay. Do that over the phone. There’s no reason for us to see each other because of that amount of money.”

“I’ll do it over the phone next time. You must be in a good mood today. You’re giving it to me without a word, unlike last time.”

“I’m busy.”

As soon as Cheon Seong-han left after finishing his business, Han Pan-soo had the car prepared.

“To Daewon House.”

Han Pan-soo, who arrived at Daewon House, only blinked.

He couldn’t believe it at all.

Nothing remained in the place of Daewon House, the best *yoseok* in Seoul.

‘Daewon House was definitely here. What happened?’

He thought repeatedly.

The minister and the Supreme Court justices were arrested because of the data recorded at Daewon House.

But Cheon Seong-han doesn’t know.

Then…

The data from Daewon House was passed on to a third party.

It was clear that it had been taken away.

He must have his data too.

Who the hell would dare to hit this place?

Only one person came to his mind.

‘Yoon Jung-hoon.’

“Hey, go to Shinhwa Group.”

Han Pan-soo hurriedly got into the car.
