Holy shit! Robert Ryan... It's really him!
Chief of Staff Jang Han-su trembled inside.
He was the spitting image of the Wall Street investment genius in the top-secret intelligence files from home and abroad—Robert Ryan.
Only then did he remember.
That bastard Jang Tae-san was Robert Ryan's Korean partner.
But he'd never have guessed.
He couldn't believe a big shot like Robert Ryan had slipped into the country without a whisper.
Cold sweat ran down his back.
"Why? Who is it? You know him?"

He'd been flatly turned down.
No prior appointment, and he was busy, they'd said.

Chairman Im Seong-cheol's posture turned deferential.
The elder he'd been when he first walked into the room was gone.
Get on the wrong side of a Wall Street heavy hitter, and the group's management could run into trouble.
Ojeong Electronics in particular was tangled up in business with countless American companies.
Well, this has…
