"We've come into a run of work, haven't we. Sokcho this time?"

"His parents are there."

"Kang Deuksu? One look and he's a man of standing in the district."

Saturday afternoon, the Jo and Jang office.

On the client's instruction Kim Gyeongmin's team came in, weekend or not.

The crown prince Ha Tae-ung has gone to Sokcho, where his parents are said to be.

He has sent Kim Gyeongmin one person's brief particulars, and a message.

Kang Deuksu!

A man living in Sokcho, and the content of it is a request for his ruin.

Read the requirements closely and a will to blow that household to pieces comes across.

Very occasionally instructions like this come in to Jo and Jang.

The subject is sometimes a particular politician or entertainer who has provoked somebody of the upper class, and sometimes people of the middle class besides.

"How badly marked is the man, to have the crown prince this furious."

The content had been passed on briefly, by text.

"If there is anything unlawful, drive it to the furthest point……. Kang Deuksu. No need to look — this gentleman is finished. Heh heh."

Kim Gyeongmin took in what the text said and let a queer laugh out of him.

Jo and Jang can manufacture a crime on the spot where there is none, and meet the client's requirement anyway.

And there is something unlawful?

Better simply to repeat back that he is finished.

"Are the chaebol houses all like that?"

Ah Yura asked it as though she wanted to know.

"Attorney Ah. You don't know yet, do you?"

"No……."

"A chaebol house's revenge is secret and it's cruel. Once you're marked, take it that a decent life is over. If they think there's a crime in you, prosecutors fasten on and investigate one unrelated matter after another and put the whole lot away with you. There are few people alive today who get through a life avoiding every illegality perfectly."

"……."

"Haryun Group in particular……. Ugh."

Kim Gyeongmin cut himself off and shuddered.

"Why?"

Curiosity went off in Ah Yura.

A reaction…
