"All right, so tell us now. Well?"

With no idea he'd just been fleeced bit by bit, Ju-cheol Seong pleaded with Du-ho Song to hurry up and tell them.

Du-ho Song traded a quick look with Byeong-hui Jang and spoke.

"President Shin has come by some good information."

"What information?"

"That the Ganghwa area is going to be developed."

"Developed? Are you talking about land speculation?"

"Then how much… how much are you thinking of putting in? Even at three times, it'd take twenty billion or more to cover everything you lost."

Byeong-hui Jang finished and gave Ju-cheol Seong a sly look.

Because he was curious how much more a man who'd just thrown away forty-three billion could possibly come up with.

Ju-cheol Seong worked it out with what he thought was a cool head.

"What I lost is…
