Money Laundering (1)

Mana’s Oath was completed without resistance.

If I hadn’t reached the 7th Circle, I would never have completed Mana’s Oath so easily.

But since it was considered the limit of humanity, and no one had reached that level except for the first black magician, everyone assumed it was impossible to surpass me.

In that case.

It’s wiser to move to succeed in the unified world of black magic.

A vast empire will soon be established.

The black magicians will quickly be subjugated, and naturally, their livelihoods will be transferred to me.

An excellent talent pool and unbelievable technology.

With just these two things, I can succeed greatly. It would be stranger if I didn’t succeed.

Most organizations owned large corporations, and those corporations are coming into my hands.

After Mana’s Oath, Lucain raised a question.

“Master, the Musk Group isn’t a company built on shaky foundations. Some companies have a circular cross-shareholding structure, but I hold the shares of most of the companies individually. In other words, to swallow the entire group, even if we accept some suspicion, it will cost hundreds of billions of dollars.”

“Is funding the problem?”

“In a capitalist society, you can’t just give away a company. There must be a flow of funds, even if only on the surface.”

“That’s right. That’s an important issue.”

“Do you have an alternative?”

“I do have an alternative.”

I brought up a plan I had been considering.

“My wife is a member of the British royal family. Are you aware of that?”

“Yes! I’ve heard. It was a very hot topic. She is said to be the first in line to inherit the Cotton family.”

“When my wife married me, she was almost expelled from the Cotton family, but for a while, there was a lot of noise about the inheritance issue. They granted my wife inheritance rights, specifically the rights to the Saun Line.”

The right I had forgotten for a while is a way to solve the money problem.

If I were a tyrant ruling the Earth, I wouldn’t have to think about such problems, but no matter how great I am, I couldn’t fight and win against all the countries of the Earth. Even if it were possible, it would take a long time.

So it’s wise to launder money.

Lucain, who belongs to the category of genius, immediately understands what I mean.

“You’re going to launder money with antiques and jewels!”

“Bearer bonds are also good. Everyone has old bonds, don’t they?”

“That’s true.”

The history of black magicians is long.

The business that started for a living flourished greatly in the 19th century, and as the concept of a company and the logic of modern economics were introduced, bonds were created.

Bearer bonds are, in a word, untraceable bonds [bonds with no registered owner, allowing the holder to claim the value].

They are mainly used for money laundering or creating slush funds, and the market price is often more than twice the face value.

It wouldn’t be strange if such bonds were pouring out of the Saun Line.

“That’s a very good method. However, it feels insufficient.”

“That’s right. It’s definitely not enough to launder hundreds of billions of dollars, but what can we do? The price of antiques or bonds depends on how you set it.”

“Even if you launder hundreds of billions, won’t there be any tracking?”

“There will be. But what if they do? You guys are specialized in curses. If you do some behind-the-scenes work, you can turn any country in this world upside down. The world has changed from what it used to be.”

I laughed like a villain.

The American Musk Group is on hold for now.

To acquire it, I needed a lot of cash, and to do that, I had to go through the process of laundering money.

Of course, I could produce and sell dummies [lifelike human replicas], but I still lacked facilities and needed a preparation process for commercialization.

And since I’ll be absorbing black magician groups and the size of the company will expand further, money is essential.

It was better to launder as much money as possible.

I’ll launder it neatly and acquire companies.

It’s a truly octopus-like expansion, an expansion that would be impossible unless black magicians are behind the company.

At the same time, solid general companies are also absorbed, growing to the point where they can shake the economy.

Acquiring an existing company is the fastest way to increase its size, rather than growing a business from the beginning.

I returned to France right away.

I came by plane, so I had to do the same when I left. I didn’t have enough power to ignore the social system yet.

Of course, if I grow to the point where I can shake up the political world in the future, I’ll be able to teleport here and there.

I decided to return to France and head to the headquarters of the M Group, which I had acquired this time.

I’ve become the major shareholder, so I should visit the company at least once to look around. I’ll give a vision on the way.

I had a total of 10 succubi and high-ranking demons, 5 of each.

The number of succubi and high-ranking demons that can be produced in a day is over 100. I could give away this many without much difficulty.

M Group headquarters located in Paris, France.

The huge building in the heart of Paris is quite impressive.

Clatter!

As I got out of the limousine, a considerable crowd had gathered.

Rumors had spread that the major shareholder who acquired the M Group was inspecting, and reporters gathered to get even a single piece of information from me.

France also relied heavily on large corporations economically, and suddenly a large corporate group was sold.

It was impossible to move the headquarters to Korea, and I would have to pay taxes in France and Korea in the future, but from the country’s point of view, the tax revenue itself had decreased.

With this as an opportunity, I might have to take a look at the French political world soon.

Flash! Flash!

The pouring flashes.

I’ve become accustomed to this level of attention.

The reporters came to film me, but their eyes were drawn to the handsome men and beautiful women who followed me.

Succubi had dazzling beauty as much as they sucked human energy, and high-ranking demons could polymorph into the appearance and atmosphere that ordinary women preferred.

So it wouldn’t be difficult for them to succeed in the entertainment industry.

Their attention immediately turns to them.

“Who the hell are they?”

Buzzing!

Instantly pouring attention.

I had expected this much before bringing the succubi and demons.

Create an issue to offset the issue even a little.

From the perspective of the French, I thought I was a killer. So I had to dilute that feeling even a little.

“Hello?”

They greeted politely.

“What the hell are you… Are you androids!?”

A reporter asked.

People nodded as if it were reasonable.

This is because the succubi and demons had an appearance and charm that did not seem human at all.

A succubus shook her head.

“We are not androids. We are aspiring entertainers and models.”

“Huh! Where did these stars suddenly come from?”

The reporters recognized it at a glance.

They knew that if these people were released into the entertainment and modeling industries, a huge situation would occur.

A tectonic shift occurs in both worlds.

It was clear that they would grow into big stars.

But the reporters didn’t believe it. They were suspicious that they were not androids.

They were not undead, so their bodies were naturally made of flesh and blood.

A demon slightly cuts the tip of his finger with a knife.

“Can you see it?”

Blood formed.

The texture of the tendons and skin is perfect.

It was definitely different from the dummies, and the personality was expressed more clearly than the dummies.

“Really! But why hasn’t it been known until now!?”

“The chairman gave us plastic surgery.”

“…Plastic surgery?”

The reporters couldn’t speak with their mouths open.

“Where the hell is that plastic surgery clinic!?”

They even ask where the plastic surgery clinic is.

It seems that I have succeeded in calming public opinion to this extent.

I introduced aspiring entertainers to the reporters and we moved our seats.

The reporters’ attention was focused entirely on the succubi and demons, so the media’s attention should be led by them.

Lee Seul-gi, who was heading to the company with me, had a dumbfounded expression.

“Isn’t that a bit of a poor excuse?”

“What?”

“Plastic surgery. Where in the world is there a hospital that gives you plastic surgery like that?”

“If you look closely in Korea, you might find one.”

“Are you going to make Korea a plastic surgery republic?”

“Isn’t it already?”

If you go to Gangnam [affluent district in Seoul known for plastic surgery clinics], you can see that the faces of women are all similar.

The number of plastic surgery clinics gathered in Gangnam was beyond imagination. Also, Korea was good at plastic surgery.

Why else would people come from overseas?

So the excuse is perfect. Because they will live under a disguised identity anyway.

“Hoo. You keep doing amazing things. What’s happening with the Russian intelligence agency?”

When I revealed everything to Lee Seul-gi, she was worried about Russia’s foreign intelligence agency.

Presidents have gone through the overseas intelligence agency countless times. It had that much power and had great connections with the political world.

I shrugged my shoulders once.

“Wouldn’t they be kidnapped by now? Or are they dealing with it.”

At that moment, Moscow, Russia.

Director Nova opened his eyes in an underground warehouse somewhere.

I clearly remember going home after work. Then suddenly I felt sleepy and when I opened my eyes, my whole body was tied up.

“Huh! Where the hell is this!?”

A faint light comes in.

It’s an underground warehouse, but it also serves as a prison.

He was trapped in an underground prison with iron bars.

“Was I… kidnapped?”

It was an absurd thing.

I had never felt a threat to my life while in the position of Director of the Russian Intelligence Agency.

Of course, when he was a general agent, he overcame countless life-threatening crises. Nova being in this position meant that he had gone through thick and thin, and it was consistent with the saying that he was the best in the intelligence agency.

Such a person was kidnapped.

This was no ordinary matter.

The Russian president was imprisoned in the prison across the street.

“Huh! Your Excellency!?”

“Tsk tsk. You’re lacking.”

It seems that the president and ministers are treated better.

The president rebuked him.

“Your Excellency. Were you here?”

“Your fault has extended our imprisonment. Chairman Lee Yoo-sung is not someone we can handle with our power!”

“But the bear’s country cannot bow its head to a small country!”

“Small country? You don’t think his scope of activity is limited to Korea, do you? The United States has already surrendered. Our competitors have knelt down powerlessly. In that situation, your disturbance has made the situation very difficult!”

“Keuh… Then what are you going to do, Your Excellency? You’re not going to sign the surrender document!?”

“Why not?”
