"Well, well? Look at this kid. Where does a little punk like him get this kind of money?"

Son Dae-gyun, a director at Lee & Jang, had rushed the Society's intelligence bureau onto the job, and now he had its file.

One of the Society's members had already asked for the same information.

"Chairman Ju's nephew, is it... Right. Seol-ran, the pretty one."

The record said the man had stayed a few days at the family's home in the country.

The details were thin.

Jang Tae-san had only recently been designated for Grade 1 intelligence surveillance.

That was the frustrating part.
