"Chairman Ha Cheolgon's grandson, you say?"

"That is right. Chairman……"

"Mm……"

His son-in-law Jang Jonghun had given Chairman Go Jaeyong the whole story, from the beginning.

He had Han Gwangsu, the chief of the secretariat, gather everything there was on Ha Tae-ung at once.

It did not take long. Without Go Jaeyong's knowing it, Ha Tae-ung was a man nearly every figure of consequence had been in contact with.

"Go on."

"H.R CAR, which opened recently, is a business the overseas investment corporation controls in all but name. There was a formal opening ceremony at the end of last month, and a considerable number of figures from business and finance attended on the day."

"A high school student of twenty, you told me! And a boy like that holds an opening ceremony? And figures from business and finance attend it?"

"Yes.…
