The Genius Grandson Of The Cash King Becomes A Tycoon [EN]: Chapter 33

#033

Large young men fell from the short, sharp punches.

Concise movements aimed only at vital points.

He was perfectly recreating the movements he himself had learned.

Mansik carefully watched the man in front of him.

And as he watched his flamboyant movements, it finally dawned on him.

‘How could I forget his name? That’s right. It’s definitely him. Legend of the Intelligence Corps, Jung Hyun-soo. In that operation that day… definitely…’

There was no way he could win anyway.

He had to avoid him.

“Hey, take down that guy first!”

He decided to deal with the seemingly easier high school student and escape.

“Young Master, be careful.”

Hyun-soo warned as the man who seemed to be the boss headed towards Jung-hoon.

He sent all his men towards Hyun-soo.

Mansik rushed towards Jung-hoon.

He wouldn’t let his guard down just because he was a young student.

He threw a punch towards his face.

The sound of tearing through the air.

‘Crazy, he dodged that?’

He never imagined that an untrained student would dodge his punch.

“Ugh.”

He barely blocked the punch aimed at his ribs with his shoulder.

‘Such power in that instant… Damn it, is it cracked? I have to get away.’

Mansik threw himself and fled towards the stairs.

He felt pain in his shoulder, but it didn’t matter.

He had a lot to report back alive.

Kwak Hyun-soo stared intently at the man disappearing into the distance.

‘Definitely, that bastard. Just you wait.’

He clenched his fist.

He went to the Young Master to check on his condition.

A clean body without a single scratch.

‘Fighting an adult and not even a scratch… Can I believe this?’

Only construction dust was scattered here and there.

“Young Master, are you okay? I can handle this alone…”

“Yes. I’m fine.”

Looking around, those who had fallen to the ground were groaning.

It seemed like they had broken at least one bone and one ligament in each joint so they couldn’t get up.

“You didn’t have to go this far…”

Jung-hoon frowned.

“They’re like insects. We need to make sure they can’t come back to this world.”

Jung-hoon’s extraordinary movement of dodging the man’s surprise punch.

Hyun-soo looked at Jung-hoon and asked.

“But how did you dodge that earlier? From so close… and it was so fast.”

“Huh? I just dodged it.”

Hyun-soo shook his head and thought back to that moment.

He was by no means an easy opponent.

“Geez, how can you dodge it so easily?”

A scream.

“Aaaaaah!”

A man aimed for Hyun-soo’s back.

In his hand, a sharp knife that looked to be 50cm long was glinting.

It was too close.

“Be careful!”

Jung-hoon kicked the man’s neck with precision.

The man, who was hit directly in the Adam’s apple, fell to the ground and writhed like a bug.

Kwak Hyun-soo couldn’t believe his eyes even after seeing Jung-hoon’s reaction speed.

A speed more than 10% faster than himself, the best agent in the Intelligence Corps.

He wondered how far Yoon Jung-hoon’s monstrous abilities went, what his limits were.

***

Soo-hong, who was hanging on the railing in a desperate crisis, couldn’t believe the situation before his eyes.

The two men were taking down men in their twenties one by one.

One-shot, one-kill, but with fists instead of guns…

Wasn’t that a fantasy only seen in movies?

But the two men took down one person at a time without hesitation.

And before he knew it, they had broken through them all and were standing in front of him.

“Are you okay? You should have listened to me.”

He felt sorry for him, seeing him in such a disheveled state.

“…Thank you.”

“Didn’t I tell you? They’re not the type to let go of their prey easily.”

Still gripped by fear, he couldn’t say anything.

“Let’s go down. I’ll take you to a safe place.”

“Thank you. Um… what about my family?”

“They’re already in a safe place. You don’t have to worry.”

President Lee Soo-hong, riding in the car Jung-hoon had come in, closed his eyes and pondered.

‘If I’m alone, I’ll face danger in the future.’

“And my family will obviously be exposed to danger… Who the hell are they? How did they target me, someone who is nothing?”

“It’s because your company has a good reputation, Mr. President. They were planning to use that to make a big score in Jungbu Market and then intentionally go bankrupt.”

“Ahem…”

Lee Soo-hong bit his lip.

“Is safety guaranteed if I’m with you?”

“Of course. And if I step forward, I become the target. So you can’t help but be safe.”

“Aren’t you putting yourself in danger because of me?”

“No. It’s something someone has to do anyway. And it’s about time I stepped up.”

Lee Soo-hong didn’t really understand his words about stepping forward.

But it was clear that Jung-hoon was fighting a huge enemy that he couldn’t handle.

“I understand. President Yoon Jung-hoon. I look forward to working with you.”

“Ah, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I’m not interested in management. I look forward to working with you. Please grow our company bigger.”

Lee Soo-hong liked his last words.

‘Our company.’

Not just his company, but his and mine.

He sincerely bowed his head.

“You are the savior of my life. I will do my best in the future.”

***

“Seriously, where did he go?”

“Who knows, maybe he received some kickbacks? He’s not that kind of person.”

“Not that kind of person? Does he have it written on his forehead, ‘I’m that kind of person’?”

A conference room with about ten people gathered.

People gathered to dismiss the union leader of the Jungbu Jugong Apartment reconstruction complex.

Kwon Yul, who had suddenly disappeared a while ago and couldn’t be reached.

His family was also tight-lipped, saying they didn’t know where he was.

“Okay, okay, stop it and quickly process the dismissal proposal and finish selecting the demolition company today. Reconstruction is time-sensitive.”

“Then let’s start right away.”

“Yes.”

The directors who supported Kwon Yul were disappointed, but they couldn’t help it.

It would be different if he showed up now.

He was a great person in terms of work, relationships, and leadership.

There were no issues with the work he was in charge of.

But there were too many things waiting to be done to wait for Kwon Yul.

They had to move quickly, one by one.

Reconstruction where time is money, and complaints from union members were rising.

“Director Hong Pan-soo will lead today’s meeting.”

“Okay. Then I will lead the meeting.”

Hong Pan-soo stood up from his seat and sat in the chair where the gavel was placed.

“Then, we will hold a board meeting to dismiss Chairman Kwon Yul and select a demolition company.”

“Bang, bang, bang.”

The chairman of the board struck the gavel three times to announce the opening of the meeting.

“First, let’s start with the dismissal of the chairman. This is the agenda for the dismissal of the current chairman, Kwon Yul. We will proceed with a show of hands for and against.”

Hong Pan-soo swallowed hard.

The first step towards becoming the chairman.

A vault worth 5 billion won filled with 50,000 won bills.

It was the moment to enter the first number of the password.

“Wait a minute. I have a question.”

Annoyed by the voice that broke the flow of the meeting, Hong Pan-soo turned his sharp gaze.

It was Director Park, who usually trusted and followed Kwon Yul.

“Ahem, make it short.”

He asked coldly to Director Park, who suddenly asked a question.

Director Park Young-jin, who raised his head, adjusted his glasses once and scanned the surroundings.

The atmosphere was different from usual, and the silence was unfamiliar.

40 billion won was definitely the right price. But 100 billion won?

Six people were looking down, and those who were only looking at the documents looked suspicious.

“Looking at the data you gave me, the cost presented by the demolition company Jeokseong is 100 billion won at the lowest, and then 120 billion won, is this correct?”

“What? 100 billion won. Wasn’t it 40 billion won?”

Director Kim, who always preferred dinners to meetings, was surprised and asked back.

Director Choi and Director Yang next to him also had puzzled expressions.

“Ahem, the former chairman miscalculated that. I checked with several companies and it was at least 100 billion won.”

“This is a bit important. The cost difference is more than double. I don’t think we should handle this so suddenly.”

At that time, the conference room door opened and sturdy men rushed in.

Then, they stood behind the directors and took their places.

A silent situation where only breathing could be heard.

Finally, Lee Chun-sik, the representative of the demolition company Jeokseong, slowly entered.

“Director Park. Demolition is not that easy. It’s something you do risking your life. At 100 billion won, we don’t have much left either. Huh?”

It wasn’t a loud voice, but it was full of annoyance,

Director Kim, Director Choi, and Director Yang, who were not interested in the meeting, lowered their heads and pretended to look at the data.

“Hey. No matter what, does it make sense to go from 40 billion won to 100 billion won?”

“Geez. Take it easy… Chang-sik, teach Director Park whether what he’s saying makes sense or not.”

“Yes, hyung [older brother/respected male figure].”

A short, thick voice was heard, and the man called Chang-sik, who was standing behind Director Park, stuck close to Director Park’s back.

He began to strangle Director Park’s neck.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

He struggled, but it was useless.

“Wh, what are you doing…”

“Are you curious? What I’m doing?”

When Lee Chun-sik asked sharply, Director Choi lowered his head.

Director Park was dragged out, and a silent fear filled the conference room.

“Okay, let’s start the meeting.”

When Chun-sik urged, Pan-soo opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

“Then, we will start the meeting again. This is the dismissal proposal for Chairman Kwon Yul. Those who agree, please raise your hands.”

The six people who had been told in advance raised their hands.

And slowly, the remaining directors also raised their hands.

Unanimous.

“Then, the dismissal proposal for Chairman Kwon Yul has been passed…”

“I object.”

The door opened and a tall man entered.

It was a youthful face that didn’t fit in the place.

Lee Chun-sik’s face crumpled when he saw him breaking into the conference room.

‘Yoon Jung-hoon? Why is that bastard here?’

Following him, Director Park, who had been dragged out, walked in.

“I object. Director Hong Pan-soo.”

“The vote is already over.”

Pan-soo tried to hit the gavel.

“Are you going to push through the dismissal proposal even with me here?”

The crowd parted and Chairman Kwon Yul appeared.

The directors who had been bowing their heads stood up.

“Chairman. Where have you been?”

“No, why are you showing up now and making things like this?”

“Haha, I’m sorry. I had a story to tell, so it turned out like this.”

“No, then what dismissal is there when the chairman is here? The first agenda is invalid.”

“That’s…”

“Hey Pan-soo, the dismissal proposal started because of the absence, you have to automatically discard it when I show up.”

“I understand.”

“Okay, move aside. Since the chairman has returned, I will lead the meeting.”

“I understand.”

Hong Pan-soo stepped aside from his seat with a flustered face.

He looked at Lee Chun-sik, but he was of no help either.

“Then I will lead the meeting. Let’s see, the second agenda is the designation of a demolition company.”

He raised his head and looked at Lee Chun-sik.

“It just so happens that the representative of Jeokseong is here. Representative, is it 100 billion won?”

His face was flushed.

He wanted to make it a mess, but the number of people Yoon Jung-hoon brought was greater.

It was a situation that wouldn’t work out no matter what he did.

Fortunately, he had already secured six people.

He was confident that he would not be pushed back in the vote.

“Do you need my explanation? Just put it to a vote.”

“Okay, I understand. Ah, there’s something I want to show the directors.”

Kwon Yul took out a small recorder from his pocket.

Insurance he had prepared that day in case there was an illegal solicitation.

When he pressed the play button, a bitter voice flowed out.

People were shocked by the unit of numbers going back and forth in the recorder. 5 billion won?, 3 billion won?

The directors’ gazes turned to Director Hong after listening to the contents until the end.

An expression that resembled looking at a bug.

“Director Hong Pan-soo. You need to explain. After hearing these words, what is the reason for pushing the demolition company to ‘Jeokseong’? How much were you going to receive? Were you perhaps aiming to dismiss the chairman and take his place?”

Lee Chun-sik slowly got up to avoid the situation.

It was a perfect situation to go to jail for bribery, he had to avoid it.

He already had many previous convictions.

“President Lee, do something.”

Pan-soo clung to him, but he couldn’t do anything either.

“Police. Let’s go together.”

The police in plain clothes came and took the two of them out.

“Okay, then let’s postpone the selection of the demolition company for now. Let’s handle it together with the selection of the construction company.”

“I understand. Whew. That was almost a disaster.”

“This friend’s help was great.”

Jung-hoon bowed to them.

“No, he looks like a high school student…”

“Haha, does age matter? If it weren’t for that friend, we would have lost hundreds of billions of won.”

“Hahaha, that’s true.”

Kwon Yul’s praise continued.

“It’s hard to believe, but this friend saved me and our union and Jungbu Market.”

“Yes, are you telling us to believe that?”

“Hahaha, it’s a shame. I can’t show you. Hahaha.”

Kwon Yul just laughed.

Director Park chimed in.

“Hey, that young friend is amazing.”

Jung-hoon became embarrassed by the sudden praise.

“Then I’ll be going. See you again. Directors, please take care of me next time.”

“Of course. Thank you.”

Everyone looked at Jung-hoon and expressed their gratitude.

Jung-hoon’s words mentioning the next time were questionable, but they didn’t care.

There were many more things to say to the chairman who had dramatically returned.

***

Ilson Group Chairman Song Hyun-chul’s secretary, Han Hyun-dong, couldn’t help but be restless.

The work he had been so confident in had completely gone wrong.

His benevolent smile made Hyun-dong even more uneasy.

“So, one was arrested, and you lost the company and overturned the prepared meal?”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“Hmm, sorry… Is it your fault? Or the fault of those below you.”

He stroked Hyun-dong with a relaxed smile and a kind voice.

Secretary Han Hyun-dong, sensing an unusual atmosphere, immediately knelt down.

“I have committed a crime worthy of death!”

“Clean it up. Don’t leave any traces. So, does that mean the upcoming election is also ruined? You were going to support it with the reconstruction slush fund.”

“That’s… I will make sure of it.”

Han Hyun-dong said, lying flat on the floor.

“I’m sorry. Elder.”

“No, it’s okay. Bring me the tea set over there. When my body is hot, I need to do tea ceremony to lower this heat. If I get angry like when I was young, my body will be damaged. Hmm.”

“Here it is.”

Song Chul-ho began to heat the tea set with steaming hot water.

“Hahaha, these young friends are so mature these days.”

“……”

“Has a high school student ever interfered with our work like this?”

“No.”

“Amazing, really, ha, why was that bastard born as Hyun Jung-ok’s grandson. How great would it be if he were my grandson. Hahaha.”

Secretary’s face turned pale when he saw Song Chul-ho’s benevolent smile.

A rare expression these days.

It was the face he made when he was most angry.

The organization’s important project was ruined.

A project worth trillions of won, and the future was in danger of becoming a bubble.

Especially the Jungbu Market by-election, which he was trying to hold with the reconstruction slush fund.

It would be fatal if that failed.

The reconstruction construction company had to be them no matter what.

“I will handle it cleanly in the future. And I will definitely succeed in selecting the construction company.”

“Yes, yes. We can’t just sit back and take it. We have to send a gift to that brat.”

“Yes. Chairman.”

“Send something appropriate, so he doesn’t feel slighted.”

Han Hyun-dong bowed deeply and answered.

“Yes.”

“Have a cup of tea.”

He gave Hyun-dong hot tea that hadn’t cooled down.

Hot steam was rising.

“Drink it all.”

“Yes?”

“Drink it, you bastard.”

Song Chul-ho’s thunderous roar echoed in the chairman’s office.

It was when he was shuddering from the pain coming from his mouth full of hot water.

Suddenly, he felt a hot heat on his face.

Han Hyun-dong fell to the floor.

He couldn’t even scream.

White steam was rising from the water that covered his face.
