"T-Team Leader! He's back!"

"What? What's the fuss? Your ex come crawling back or something?"

"No! I mean the god's come back!"

"What? Since when did you get called to be a shaman?"

"Argh! Not that kind of god—the God of Stocks!"

"What did you say? Seriously???"

Jeon Yeong-guk, leader of Kaum Securities' audit team, was floored by Yun Jeong-hyeok's report.
