Playing with Fire (1) "You were already probably the most famous businessman in Stella City...... But you've gone a step further." "Because that wasn't enough." It was a bit funny, but in my current state, it seemed more comfortable to pass through the relatively secure outskirts rather than the city center. The businessmen who had seen me as an 'object of respect' or 'object of reverence' until yesterday were now looking at me with hatred. When someone who is similar to you, or someone you…-

Devaluation (13) I put a cigarette in my mouth. It wasn't particularly good manners for someone driving a car, but at this moment, it couldn't be helped. The car's air purification system activated. The expensive vehicle greedily sucked in the cigarette smoke. "Phew......" After taking a few puffs of the cigarette, acrid smoke enters my lungs. I couldn't understand it. "Was... the money I gave not enough?" "No. If they opened a new store or... used it wisely, it was enough money for…

Devaluation (12) "......What idiot leaked this information?" Even if corporations treated citizens and the media like vermin, they had to follow public opinion at least minimally. What drove them wasn't conscience or law, but rather the machinations of other corporations. "What's the meaning of all this?" "Well... They just seem like thoughtless criminals..." The corporate PR team was contemplating how to respond to this 'gossip' posted on the web. "There's no real substance here......…

Devaluation (11) "That was a close call......" Back at their base, the mercenaries were catching their breath while adjusting their clothes. "What was in the car? Can we recover any of it?" "We got all the important stuff out. Just some explosives left... The car itself is the problem." "Any intelligence leaks?" "We blew it up by remote control, so even if they search it, they won't be able to track us properly." "That's a silver lining, I guess." In mercenary work, you couldn't…

Devaluation (10) "Boss? Wait a moment." A man who was hiding inside the building carefully revealed himself. "Why, again? We're resolving this through dialogue. We're not thieves; we should properly compensate the warriors who came out here after such hardship..." "Those guys received orders from a corporation." The atmosphere instantly froze. Doris could only be surprised that Hansan's security was this lax as she clenched her teeth. "Fumiko, Security A. It's money and security at a…

Choice (2) Many people flocked to Stella City. People of many races and different genders arrived here just to make money and fulfill their dreams. Most of this process was achieved through crime. Working as an ordinary laborer was considered a life without a future. And they tried not to forget their roots. It was also something that was encouraged. The "Korean-style" culture that had settled in various places of Stella City through Hansan created a sense of sameness among them. Just as…

Choice (1) "T-this is a misunderstanding. Hansan couldn't possibly have been involved in something like this!" A Korean man in a suit was desperately claiming his innocence. But the police officer sitting in front of him was only looking at him with tired eyes. Under normal circumstances, he might have been anxious. Hansan employees who were occasionally brought in would leave the police station without incident, as if flaunting their power. But things were different now. The police knew well…

Refining (19) 'Up to here.......' Jang Guhan gritted his teeth. He hadn't thought Han Sanwoo’s influence would reach this far. It was all intentional. Perhaps from the moment he caused trouble at the food factory, so unlike his usual self, he had foreseen everything. The large elderly man introduced himself as a security guard from Hansan Electronics, but upon closer inspection, there were numerous suspicious points. Considering the element of surprise, he still possessed the judgment and…

Refining (18) Most people working at Hansan didn't feel any particular sense of crisis. Although Han Sanwoo had been behaving strangely, in their minds, Hansan was strong enough not to be shaken by such eccentricities. They weren't aware that a scheme was unfolding. They thought the incidents related to Enzo's words and actions were merely checks from other companies that a corporation like Hansan commonly experiences. Han Sanwoo is a member of the Hansan family. When he gives an order, it's…

Refining (17) The plan collapsed like a fantasy. Those gathered were blaming each other's mistakes without exception. "You couldn't even keep one worker's mouth shut and caused this disaster. You should be ashamed!" "A-are you blaming us? If that Hansan employee hadn't met with Enzo at that time, this wouldn't have happened!" "Then what should we have done?" "You should have managed them!" "Manage? While President Han Sanwoo was watching with eagle eyes, should we have managed each…
