Chapter 191: Control>
Suk Jinmyung sighed and said to Woosung on the phone, “You can’t do this.”
Woosung laughed lightly and replied, “I just wanted to show you that I’m different. Don’t you think I’m different?”
Suk Jinmyung sighed, “This isn’t the time to joke around.”
“I made sure Choi Taemin can never abuse another girl in this country. You can call around, but no one will help you. The only thing you could do now would be to find someone from another country.”
Suk Jinmyung’s hands trembled.
He asked, “Are you really going to be like this?”
“What else can I do? What did you think I was going to do? I told you last time, if you continue this path, there is only one possible future for you.”
“You mean I’ll end up in prison?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think you can convince me like this? Don’t you think this will make me resist you even more?”
“Do you still feel loyal to Daeyang?”
Suk Jinmyung didn’t answer.
Woosung continued, “You have already repaid the scholarships you received from Daeyang. I don’t understand why you are still there when you are being treated so horribly.”
Suk Jinmyung replied sarcastically, “I see you have done your research on me.”
“It’s readily available information. I wouldn’t call it research.”
Suk Jinmyung sighed again. “The main thing now is that I will have to inform my vice president Choi about this.”
“If you tell him the truth, you know what will happen to you.”
Suk Jinmyung couldn’t reply. He was fearful for his life.
Woosung continued slowly, “Think carefully. Your future depends on it.”

BTC 2530 dollars.
Woosung was controlling the price.
BTC 1810 dollars.
The price fluctuated heavily. People found this to be an attractive investment chance.
If you got in at the right time, you could become rich.
BTC 2781 dollars.
Many people got in including Choi Gichul.
“Dammit! It’s rising again.”
As the price went up and down, Choi Gichul became anxious.
“Dammit, why is it that when I buy, the price goes down and when I sell, it goes up?”
Choi Gichul didn’t trust bitcoins. He expected it to plummet to 0 someday, which meant he couldn’t hold it for more than 2 days.
“If I lose money, Choi Taemin won’t let it go.”
Since it was so expensive now, Choi Gichul and his group could no longer have a significant effect on the price. Choi Gichul wanted to escape from Choi Taemin, but unless he gave up everything, it was not possible.
“Would he do to me what he did to Choi Gitae?”
Choi Gitae was in the hospital in a comma. Choi Gichul was afraid.
When Choi Gichul walked out of the office, Chun Gisu was waiting for him. He knew he was now Kang Woosung’s man.
Choi Gichul asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“You haven’t changed. I no longer work for Daeyang, so you can’t talk to me like this.”
Choi Gichul sneered, “Ha! So what?”
“I heard you are running a dealership. How’s that going?”
“I don’t have to tell you.”
“Listen, we both have something in common. We both want to escape from Choi Taemin’s power.”
Choi Gichul paled.
“…”
“President Kang is a decent man. You probably know that already.” Chun Gisu continued quickly, “He is intelligent, talented, and knows how to take care of his own people. Unlike someone we know. This is the only way.”
“Did Kang Woosung get Suk Jinmyung too?”
Chun Gisu laughed, “Unfortunately no. As you know, President Kang Woosung is aware of all your phone calls and activities. He makes decisions based on this information. He asked me to come and see you today.”
“So what do you want?”
“He told me to tell you that you need to make the right decision or else, you will end up like your brother Choi Gitae.”
***
Choi Gichul visited Choi Taemin.
“I will only keep 10 million dollars for myself and give everything else to you, so please let me go.”
“Ha. I’ve never stopped you from leaving.”
“This isn’t a joke.”
“I’m not joking.”
“…”
“No matter what happens, you will always belong to Daeyang.”
“I want to be my own man. I will give up my shares of Daeyang.”
Choi Taemin laughed, “You know too much about me and this company. Don’t you think so? There are only two ways for you to leave. Either become mute or braindead. What do you think?”
Choi Gichul bit his lips. He finally realized he could never escape Choi Taemin.

April 11, 2012.
Two days before the 19th General Election.
The media released the rumors on the current President Lee Parksung and the leader of Liberal party Kim Junghee.
Quickly, the rumors turned out to be facts as proofs were released as well. A representative of the democratic party held a press conference.
“With these proofs, you can be sure that President Lee Parksung has lied so many times even before he became President. You can also see how Kim Junghee has done many illegal deeds. How can we let these people run this country?”
Lee Sunghyun turned the TV off and sighed deeply.
Those proofs shown on the TV were supposed to be hidden in a safe place. It must have been an insider who got to them and released them.
Lee Sunghyun tried, but he couldn’t unravel the person behind all of this.
“By the way, why aren’t these people answering my calls?”
Hwajung law firm’s Attorney Park Changsun.
Josun law firm’s Attorney Jo Namgi.
Daeryuk law firm’s Attorney An Soohyun.
He needed the best lawyers to defend his father, but no one was answering his calls.
Lee Sunghyun asked a liberal member who was sitting next to him, “So what is the party doing to resolve this situation?”
The liberal party member stammered, “W, we plan on making it look like the opposition is plotting against us with lies, but we may still lose this election.”
“We need to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
“But the situation is very serious…”
“This could be bad. Dammit!”
“…”
“What happened to the request we made to Daeyang for election funds?”
“They said they aren’t doing well themselves so they only sent 500,000 dollars.”
“That’s nothing.”
“We were told that if we give up more information on Kang Woosung, they will give another 500,000 dollars.”
“But we have no more information.”
“Then what should we do?”
“We need to meet him.”
“Who?”
“The man who owns all the best lawyers in the country.”
