The more I get to know that kid, the bigger the mystery. Who the hell is he?

All his life, Son Dae-gyun had thought of himself as a man with a fair amount of nerve.

But after meeting Jang Tae-san, he'd realized that was entirely in his own head.

Not even conglomerate chairmen could pull a stunt(?) like that.

They'd poured more than one and a half trillion won into a foundation.

Once you put your assets into a foundation and incorporate it, the law has its hands on it.

It falls under the Civil Act, the Private School Act, the Social Welfare Services Act, the Medical Service Act and more.

And of course, the competent authority audits it whenever it likes.

Use the foundation's money for anything personal, and you're prosecuted for embezzlement and breach of trust.

Yet mother and son had announced they'd accept all of it, then bet the money anyway.

He couldn't tell whether they were stupid or brilliant.

"I'm counting on you from here on, Directors!"

"Our little sweetheart~ See you at school~."

"You really surprised me, CEO Jang Tae-san! I never imagined I'd see a financial expert like you in this country."

"I'll be in touch soon."

Speaker Yun Jin-yong, Professor Ju Tae-yeol, Governor Lee Min-seok and Prosecutor General Lee Han-jin all took Jang Tae-san's hand and cheered him on.

Even Son Dae-gyun had never been shown goodwill that plain and open.

"Sure. Don't drink too much."

"I'll set up a round soon."

Son Dae-gyun bowed his goodbyes too.

Jo Yun-tae had something to take care of and left in a hurry.

Ju Seol-ran, newly installed as board chairman, had already walked out arm in arm with the female staff.

The directors, pleasantly tipsy after a drink apiece, drifted off one by one.

That left two men.

"One more drink, right?"

"I've booked a suite."

"My junior, thorough as ever~"

"Not as thorough as you, sunbae."

"Enough. Let's go have another drink."

Son Dae-gyun clapped Jang Tae-san on the shoulder…
