Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 76
16. Kim Pan-ho (4)
the day before.
Kim Pan-ho’s eyebrows twitched at the report he received from the informant.
“…is this all true?”
“According to our research so far, that is true. The time when Kim Hyun-seong and Go Chang-beom are expected to have come into contact is from Go Chang-seok’s ‘Hansung Officetel’ incident. At that time, Go Chang-beom was arrested by the police for a violent incident, and there are circumstances in which Kim Hyun-seong presented CCTV data to clear the charges. “We confirmed that fact through the police officer in question, and according to what is coming from within Myungjin Construction, Go Chang-beom has changed since then.”
Squeak.
I leaned in.
He crossed his legs and did not take his eyes off the report.
“continue.”
“What we are curious about is whether the person behind Go Chang-beom is really the same person as Kim Hyun-seong. In fact, it makes no common sense. The mastermind mentioned by Go Chang-seok is an unknown person, and there are rumors that he designed all of the boards so far. Go Chang-seok’s in-laws were cut off due to the Hanseong Officetel incident, and when the Myungjin Construction pouring incident occurred, his appropriate response instantly raised his reputation within the company. This is absolutely not something a single high school student can do. Of course, looking at the details of Go Chang-beom’s remittance to Kim Hyun-seong, I think there was ‘some kind of transaction’, but this is impossible without a complete understanding of Myungjin Construction’s internal circumstances.”
This is common sense.
The problem was that everything happening now was unreasonable.
“There is no way to definitively prove that the person behind Go Chang-beom is the same person. However, Kim Hyun-seong solved Rep. Jang Ho-il’s case and mentioned that he could secure political funds through Myungjin Construction. “If that is really possible, we cannot rule out the possibility that he may be ‘the mastermind.’”
“under.”
I laughed at the absurdity.
The story of Myungjin Construction.
It was very dynamic.
Kim Pan-ho was instinctively convinced when he heard that Myungjin Construction’s idiot had become managing director in an instant.
“To summarize all the stories in this data, a high school student who was only 17 years old persuaded Go Chang-beom to push out Go Chang-seok, who was a strong presidential candidate, and raised the value of Go Chang-beom. And with the full support of Myungjin Construction, you came to see me and made an attractive proposal to solve the problem of Representative Jang Ho-il and destroy the Golden Circle to Kim Pan-ho of the Prosperity Party? This is not a lie. According to my own experience, Kim Hyun-sung’s behavior cannot be explained as simply being a puppet following someone’s orders.”
blast furnace.
This was real.
Kim Hyun-seong is the mastermind behind Go Chang-beom and created a perfect version that even reached his level.
Information written in great detail.
Kim Pan-ho could not hide his sincere surprise as he confirmed the incidents committed against the Golden Circle.
“What on earth is this guy?”
* * *
This was already our third meeting.
It was absurd at first.
The second was curiosity.
The third was admiration.
Kim Pan-ho said.
“I recognize you. The actions you have shown so far are not at a level that can be dismissed as simply a 17-year-old high school student. “You’ve already proven yourself, but before we get into the real deal, let me ask you one question.”
“Please speak.”
“Actually, I don’t understand. Why on earth are you spewing out so much malice towards the Golden Circle? It’s clear that the Golden Circle selected you as their target, but you were never actually hit. Park Min-cheol’s gang, Shin Young-min, and Choi Tae-jun. “I understand that he definitely paid the price for messing with you.”
It was an obvious question.
The current Kim Hyun-seong had no clear justification.
There was a despairing story about a person who suffered from bullying in a previous life, became a vegetable, and lived in that state for over 10 years. But not now. In the eyes of both Oh Hye-ji and Kim Pan-ho, Kim Hyun-seong has not yet been exposed to that level of despair. On the contrary, he retaliated by countering each of the Golden Circle’s attacks one by one, so I couldn’t understand why he was spewing out malice to the point of burning himself.
Kim Hyun-seong’s expression turned cold.
Although he went back and experienced many things, the emotions that were buried deep in his heart did not change one bit.
“Have you ever experienced this? “The feeling of despair of not being able to do anything against reasonless malice.”
“well. “I think I definitely retaliated when I showed that level of malice.”
“I hate malice without cause. A powerful person like you might be able to fight back, but the Golden Circle does not select such a being as a target in the first place. Either poor or weak. Those beings who cannot stand against someone’s malice. “Words cannot describe what they feel when they are exposed to unprovoked malice.”
Snapping.
I gritted my teeth.
The more he spoke, the more red his eyes became and the tendons on his tightly clenched fists sprouted.
“You just have to deal with it. Even though I know that when I go to school, faceless bullies beat me up, and even though I know that their bullying continues even after school ends. I can’t give up my studies. If you don’t go to school, your life will really end. I can’t ask for help from teachers or adults. Now that the Golden Circle is involved, adults will already be aware of those in power and will be harassed even more for revealing the truth. It’s hell. I have to spend years like that with my ankles shackled. Rep. Why do we have to go through this? “What on earth did we do that we deserve to suffer like that?”
supported by evil
Regardless of the issue of obtaining Kim Pan-ho’s consent, this was Kim Hyun-seong’s pure emotion.
“Do you know what the motive of the person who commissioned me was? Because I refused to confess. For some ridiculous reason, he just wanted me to regret it. I had to deal with the violence. So I can’t just finish it. Because I know how devastating it is, I want to break the cycle of school violence. “Even though violence is an eternal problem that cannot be eliminated among the human race, I want to at least destroy the Golden Circle that is profiting from it.”
The emotions were conveyed intact.
Kim Pan-ho showed cold eyes.
I still didn’t understand.
Even though I didn’t experience anything like that, I knew that the ‘malice’ exuded by Kim Hyun-seong was real.
Hyunseong Kim.
I meant it.
I really hoped for the destruction of the Golden Circle.
There was silence for a moment.
As Kim Hyun-seong, who expressed his emotions, waited for an answer, Kim Pan-ho spoke in a calm voice.
“Tell me your plan. “If you like everything after hearing it, then I will seriously consider a relationship with you.”
* * *
Kim Hyun-seong said.
“The group called the Golden Circle does not allow even a single failure. The reason they were able to maintain relationships with those in power was probably because of complete confidentiality and a history of never failing. Therefore, I plan to persuade the broker to post a fake report as if the request was successful. As a result, Golden Circle, although unintentional, will set a precedent of deceiving clients and manipulating the results.”
Request from Oh Hye-ji.
It was a scratch.
The flaws, which are absolutely unacceptable as a golden circle, will become more widespread and fatal as time goes by.
“Two years from now, one year and three months to be exact. I’m thinking of transferring to Gangnam. As you know, Gangnam is the home of the Golden Circle, and unlike other regions, requests are being made actively. Now and then. I plan to maintain my top score in the country. What would happen if I suddenly appeared in Gangnam, a city that reacts sensitively to even a single level of ranking, and was pushed down one level in the rankings? “And if it turns out that I was the one who failed to resolve the Golden Circle.”
“It would be a huge disaster.”
“that’s right. To them, I will come across as a disaster that must be solved.”
Literally.
Bam –
a nuclear bomb explodes.
Controversy will arise over the fact that the Golden Circle manipulated the results of the request, and calls from all directions will pour in to resolve Kim Hyun-sung immediately. It is in the middle of enemy territory. It was clear that all directions would try to bring down Kim Hyun-seong to a degree that could not be compared to what was happening in Daesan.
then.
The problem cannot be solved with the background of Go Chang-beom.
Since Korea’s big names will look after him, Kim Hyun-seong will have to deal with the evil intentions of those around him entirely on his own.
The resolution has already been made.
From then on, the real plan began.
“The reason why the meaning of the Golden Circle’s existence truly shines is because of the fact that outside intervention in a space called ‘school’ is bound to be limited. As it is easy to bring down someone through school violence, if I decide to endure, I can endure no matter how much external pressure comes my way. Please give just enough strength to avoid being expelled in the process. “If it’s just that much help.”
background.
It was a necessary puzzle.
Even if I couldn’t overwhelm my opponent, I needed a background that could at least withstand it.
“The longer I hold out, the more the Golden Circle will inevitably face destruction.”
* * *
It was an interesting story.
It was exactly as I said the first time.
Kim Hyun-seong was not asking for a lot of help, but only needed a background level that would allow him to get by.
It was amazing.
The fact that a high school student, only 17 years old, came up with a plan to destroy the Golden Circle all by himself.
It’s absurd, but even if Gangnam lasts just one month, the Golden Circle will suffer a truly fatal blow.
Kim Pan-ho said.
“Do you know why I want to be president?”
“Is it because of power?
“no. Usually, people who aim for the presidential election say various reasons, such as power or big dreams, but for me, it’s not as big of a deal as I thought. “I just want to try it.”
It was my secret.
Although it was a truth that I had not revealed to anyone else in the world, I somehow wanted to share it with Kim Hyun-seong.
“I have never failed before. I went to Korea University, where everyone looked up to me, and was selected as a professor at Korea University. When I resigned from my professorship, less than a year later, I wore the badge of a member of the National Assembly on my chest. I mean people. Basically, your eyesight increases depending on the water you play in. The people around me were people who suited the water I played in, and their goals were great things that ordinary people couldn’t think of. “Some are representatives of large corporations, some are politicians, and the most interesting thing is that people who say their goal is to become president are more common than you might think.”
“…The president?”
“okay. But do you think that goal is impossible? No it’s not. If you look back at the lives of past presidents and think about the backgrounds of children who aim to become president. It’s absolutely not impossible. The guys who drank, laughed, and chatted with me might one day become presidents representing the Republic of Korea. So I just wanted to do it. I’ve always achieved my goals, but there’s no law that says I can’t become the best in this country, right? “People think I wore the badge of a member of the National Assembly simply because I wanted to experience politics, but from the moment I stepped down from my university professorship, my goal was to become president.”
Now I finally understand.
Past life.
Why did Kim Pan-ho, who lost the presidential race, fall so quickly?
Usually, even if you lose in a presidential election, there is another opportunity, but Kim Pan-ho, who lived a successful life, could not accept that one defeat. So lonely he retreated to the back of power. As for Kim Hyun-sung, he only knew that he lost and had no idea how he lived after losing the presidential election.
Kim Pan-ho made eye contact.
Confidence existed in his life.
That you will succeed.
I will definitely become president.
That’s why I was able to overcome any adversity, but strangely enough, I got a similar feeling from the look in Kim Hyun-sung’s eyes.
By all means possible.
A strong desire to destroy the Golden Circle.
They were of the same race.
From then on, I stopped seeing Kim Hyun-seong as just a 17-year-old high school student because he was similar to me.
Kim Pan-ho said.
“Keep in mind. If you fail even once, I will boldly abandon you. “I won’t make any effort to save you and I will destroy all evidence linking you. But if you are confident that you can handle all of this…”
He chuckled.
“I accept your offer.”
