Blue House Abnormal Abilities Operation Measures Advisory Meeting.
With many people, including President Cho Hyun-min, in attendance, opinions continued to be exchanged about policies related to the operation of various supernatural abilities and the direction of future subjugation.
“…Then, the support fund for youth hunter training will be reduced by 12% starting next quarter.”
President Cho Hyun-min concluded by summarizing the advice provided so far.
“Do you have any other opinions?”
“Um… what do you plan on doing about karma?”
At that time, Seong Hyun-sook, leader of the Future Democratic Party, asked as if she had been waiting.
President Cho Hyun-min did not understand the meaning of the question.
“What should I do? How can I do it?” It worked out just as we wanted. “Unlike before, if you grow too big, we may impose sanctions.”
“Of course, it’s easier for us to intervene than before, but…”
She trailed off.
It was only then that President Cho Hyun-min realized that it was not the entire Karma Corporation that she was worried about.
“Are you worried about CEO Kim Jun-woo?”
“…yes. “I think the influence that one individual has is too great.”
“What is important is what kind of influence it has. “It’s been a good influence so far, hasn’t it?”
“you’re right. As you said… until now.”
President Cho Hyun-min’s eyebrows twitched at the words of party leader Sung Hyun-sook.
“…what does that mean?”
“It cannot be denied that he is an incredible young man. But there is no guarantee that will continue to be the case.”
“….”
When the President hesitated to answer, she continued immediately.
“More than anything, I am worried that I gained so much power at such a young age. “You may not know it now, but as the saying goes, “a place makes a person,” and in 5 or 10 years, I will definitely be looking at something else.”
President Cho Hyun-min laughed inwardly.
What does 5 or 10 years have to do with you?
This floor is difficult to guarantee even after 1 or 2 years.
“Actually… I also agree with party leader Seong Hyun-sook.”
“It may be the other way around, but isn’t subjugation an area directly linked to the lives of the people?”
“I think we need some kind of brake. Even for later.”
Soon, other people who were watching began to voice concerns.
After thinking for a while, President Cho Hyun-min asked party leader Sung Hyun-sook.
“So what are we going to do?”
“Currently, Kim Jun-woo is receiving support from too many people. No… it would be more accurate to say that there is no critical perspective at all.”
“So?”
“How about we lower that perception… just a little bit?”
President Cho Hyun-min hurriedly covered his laughter with his hands.
In fact, it has little to do with them whether CEO Kim Jun-woo has a lot of influence or not.
Even so, he is still only a representative of a mid-sized company… Although he monopolizes one industry, that was the same with the previous association.
Above all, even though it has been a month since merging with the association, they are doing well without any problems, unlike before when incidents and accidents occurred every day.
You may be anxious about what happens later, but there is no need to keep it in check right now.
Nevertheless, there is only one reason why it comes out that way.
They are trying to lower public trust in Kim Jun-woo just in case he steps into politics.
President Cho Hyun-min opened his mouth with a smile.
“Well…”
He thought a little differently.
If he enters the political world, that will happen only then.
Politics is at its lowest point. It doesn’t take a day or two for today’s enemy to become tomorrow’s friend.
‘No matter how you look at it, it looks like he’s not interested in politics…’
He quickly came to a conclusion.
“Is it really necessary to do that?”
It was clearly stated that it was unnecessary.
Those attending the meeting had no choice but to refrain from saying any more.

Immediately after the meeting ended, party leader Seong Hyeon-sook let out a sigh as soon as she boarded the accompanying vehicle.
“…‧Didn’t it go well?”
“Not even the seeds worked. “I think she’s quite happy about it.”
Party leader Seong Hyun-sook clicked her tongue with a bitter expression.
Currently, Kim Jun-woo is almost deified among people.
He is not a philanthropist. He is the head of a company whose sole purpose is profit, and it is clearly not a good thing for such a person to monopolize an industry.
Nevertheless, the people are expressing relief, not dissatisfaction, that he has monopolized the subjugation industry.
If Kim Jun-woo had a clear political inclination, we could join hands and use his reputation to our advantage… They
keep sending us love calls, but seeing as they are completely ignoring them, it’s a ball that doesn’t know where it will land.
As scary as a powerful enemy is an opponent whose thoughts you cannot understand.
If that big name, who doesn’t know which side he will join, tries to enter politics based on public opinion so far… there will be unfathomable chaos.
In the worst case, he may join the Bareun United Party and run as a candidate for the Seoul district.
‘…It’s a fight that you can’t actually win.’
If we are not careful, we may have to hand over the entire major constituency of Seoul to the Baton Party bastards with both eyes wide open.
There is a need to somehow increase the public’s critical view of Kim Jun-woo.
No, it’s not that kind of logical perspective; we need a group that will oppose whatever he does.
Then, no matter what Kim Jun-woo does, the brakes will naturally apply.
‘Shall we split sides…’
Party leader Seong Hyun-sook, who was searching for a suitable method in her head, finally opened her mouth.
“Now that I think about it… the Japanese branch is strangely quiet these days. Is there something going on?”
“yes? Well, I don’t know. “There is no significant news.”
The aide seemed very embarrassed by the unexpected question.
“They always disparage our association in the media and publish strange books, but for some reason they’ve been quiet these days.”
“Isn’t it said that one of the reasons Japan joined the international association in the first place was because they were conscious of us? In fact, my feelings of infatuation became quite severe after joining the International Association. But recently, a lot of issues related to the headquarters have been popping up…” “
When things are going well, they are always complaining, but the atmosphere is not so good, so they are keeping their mouths shut.”
“Well… we don’t have a very good relationship with the International Association headquarters to begin with.”
“Hmm…”
Party leader Seong Hyun-sook moaned, stroking her chin.
He seemed to have a good idea for a moment and asked his aide.
“Director Park, do you know any reporters in the political department?”
“Yes, there are a few.”
“Then, should I spill some gossip through that?”
Party leader Seong Hyun-sook said with a smile.
okay.
There is nothing like the ‘Korea-Japan War’ to divide sides.
***
Karma Corporation Seoul Headquarters CEO’s Office.
I yawned repeatedly in a place where the name of the building used by the previous association was changed.
“Somehow, there’s less to do than I thought…”
No, it’s not that there’s nothing to do, it’s that I don’t know what to do.
Because it runs well on its own without me having to step in.
Since each department was entrusted to experts, virtually all there was to do was plan operations… but Minju Kim took charge of even that as the head of the operations headquarters.
To be honest, I was a little worried because he had a rather passive personality that didn’t match his skills… Well, he seems to be doing well so far.
I see that everyone said they became scared after becoming the head of the operations headquarters.
‘It’s also the place it should be.’
Some say that Kim Min-ju’s planning and conducting style is the same as mine… well, that’s natural.
From the beginning, when he first became the head of the operations team, he learned command and planning from me.
Anyway, the operation headquarters led by Kim Min-ju is running quite well.
In addition, Lee Ah-young, head of the support division, and Han Yu-bin, director of the planning division, etc. Everyone is doing their job well.
In particular, the person who is most satisfying is Ha Seong-il, head of overseas business division.
On my behalf, he traveled to independent associations around the world and took charge of branch projects.
The sales know-how so far was showing off, showing excellent performance.
Well, no matter what anyone says, isn’t he the former president of Hanbyeol Trading Company?
I don’t know, but I expected it to go beyond the basics.
‘More than anything, the International Association is also quiet, so there is nothing better…’
Although they are making such bold moves, there is still no significant movement on the part of the International Association.
It’s a very strange thing because their nature is such that they will never stay still.
Either he’s waiting for the right moment or he’s preoccupied with something else.
Anyway, things are good one way or another.
If we continue like this, we may be able to catch up with the number of branches of the International Association within a year…
“Representative.”
Just as the positive circuit was running, Ha Seong-il, head of the overseas business division, came into the office.
“Ah, Director. “Weren’t you on a business trip to the Middle East?”
“I just returned home yesterday.”
“How did the contract work out?”
“It’s still in the progress stage… but the response is good. Soon, we will be able to take over the independent associations of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.”
“It’s a good thing I trusted you.”
“ha ha ha! “How do you know that I’m not good at compliments?”
Director Ha scratches his head with a puzzled expression.
However, he soon spoke with a very serious expression.
“Actually, that’s not why I came…”
“Yes?”
He lowers his voice.
what? What did you ask again that made your expression so solemn?
“There is a rumor going around that the Japanese branch will soon leave the international association.”
“…yes?!”
My brows narrowed at the unexpected news.
Something is suddenly happening in a previously quiet place.
“Where is the source?”
“A political reporter tipped me off.”
“Political Department…?”
My eyes narrowed at the unexpected source.
It feels like something was sprayed on purpose.
Sure enough, Director Ha opened his mouth as if he was thinking the same thing.
“It’s too much of a gamble to move on Chirashi, and more than anything, it stinks to me too… I think the Japanese branch should think about it.”
“Hmm…”
I took a moment to gather my thoughts.
It’s not that it’s not, but the Japanese branch is definitely an attractive place.
There are many strengths they have, but the greatest strength by far is neither capital nor manpower.
‘The Haramura family…’
Although it is a family belonging to the Japanese branch, it is a famous enough group to exert influence on international associations as well.
If we could influence that family with its Japanese branch, we might have the means to control the International Association.
“How can I prepare in advance?”
Director Ha Seong-il also asked carefully, as if he had that in mind.
If the rumor about withdrawing from the international association is real, we need to start preparing now.
We should aim for the moment when confusion arises immediately after withdrawal. If it establishes itself as an independent association, it will be too late by then.
From now on, the probability is quite high if we look at the liver by providing support for this and that…
‘If that is nothing more than baseless gossip…’
It will just be like giving Japan everything, including liver and gallbladder.
If you do it wrong, you may face backlash and end up providing only a useless excuse.
“First, we need to find out if the information is clear.”
“how?”
“What can you do? “You have to go see it yourself.”
If you want to catch a tiger, wouldn’t you have to go into the tiger’s den?
“Wouldn’t it be a little embarrassing to go without even receiving a case since we haven’t had any exchanges with the Japanese branch so far?”
“Just make Geonsuya and that’s it.”
When I answered with a smile, he also smiled and nodded.
“All right. I’d like to accompany you, but… I’m not finished with the Middle East work yet…”
“It’s okay. “Your work comes first.”
“Are you going with Director Lee Ah-young?”
“No. He’s been too busy these days, so I feel sorry to bother him with something like this.”
After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision.
“There just happens to be the right person.”
