“Mr. Choi!”
“Yes?”
“What do you think of this?” Gwanjae asked and Mr. Choi replied,
“What are we going to do with the Japanese?”
“What do you mean?”
“They are very powerful, too powerful for us to deal with for now,” Mr. Choi said and he was right. They would have to plan things through thoroughly if they were to try things out.
However, Mr. Hwang nodded and replied, “They’re wary of everyone else except for our president. We should hold off our plans for now.”
Gwanjae got angry as soon as he heard his words. It really didn’t seem suitable for them to team up with the president anyway but there was a probability that they would if they were to follow their original plan.
Gwanjae began to doubt their plan for the first time.
“This will be a fight for money and power,” Mr. Hwang said. Everyone then sat in silence for a moment. They knew that they just had to keep their heads up high and do the best that they could.
Jaehwang raised his hand and broke the silence. “Grandad?”
“Yes, Jaehang.”
“Would it be enough if they would receive a fall on their stocks?”
“It should be.”
Those stocks were their lifeline and they kept a close watch on their stash as their enemies. It would have been much easier to schedule a meeting and make a few deals if the others weren’t out to destroy them.
They had it easier compared to what they had before but the attack on Justin Point showed that they still needed to be very careful.
“I learned about the stock market and investment during middle school so I have a pretty good understanding of it.” Jaehwang brought up middle school and everyone seemed disappointed.
“Do you have a good plan.” One of them asked.
“Yes!”
They all then gave him their attention.

“But there’s no way that we would be able to do things like that…”
“We’ll make it possible.”
“Make it possible?” Mr. Hwang asked with a confused tone. Jaehwang mentioned a land that was only available in a spot close to North Korea but it was a place that was presumably occupied by Oak soldiers. They could expect a lot of attacks in that area but that plan caught Gwanjae’s interest.
“Jaehwang’s right. If we have nothing then we’ll just have to create something,” Gwanjae said before he stood up from his chair and everyone followed his lead.
“Mr. Choi! Find us some support for this plan and calculate how much land we’ll need to make.”
Mr. Choi then instantly started to calculate everything and said, “There’s some good space near the area of Pyeongyang. It’s in a very good condition and there could also be some decent space near Seoul.”
He quickly calculated 1400 square kilometers of land. That was a lot.
Gwanjae nodded his head and replied, “Okay, we have to do this fast.”
“Right. We should be able to regain our lost funds in about one or two months.”
“Yes. But it’s not possible for it to be entirely recovered. We have to prepare for this big task.”
“We should be ready in a year,” Mr. Choi replied. One year was actually short in terms of the scale of what they’re about to do. They had to make that area completely uninhabitable for the monsters that sought to dwell in it.
“I see. We have to do this as fast as we can.”
“What do you mean?” Mr. Choi gave a confused reply at Gwanjae’s command. “The task is already difficult, I think one year is our utmost limit.”
“We have to destroy this draining Korean economy! We have to do this!” Gwanjae shouted and everyone stayed quiet for a moment.
“With that being said, I’ll take a break for five days. I expect this to be pretty draining, let’s take a break to prepare ourselves.”
“Fine!” Gwanjae replied. “Butler!”
“Yes, sir.”
“Get me the information on every clan on Korea. It’s going to be quite the fight and this time, we’ll be ready. Do you understand?”
“Yes sir, I understand.”
“Mr. Choi!”
“Yes!”
“Take this!” Gwanjae handed him a gold plaque, he took something out of his pocket and then shouted, “I’ll give you this power. All the energy that has been stored in this item is now yours. It should be fully transferred after three days or so.”
Gwanjae’s servants then immediately went to work. Mr. Hwang then said, “But, how are we going to get to the president?”
“What are you saying?”
“We’re gonna have to try to maintain our rights along with our strategy. We’ll put all our assets into fixing Pyeongyang and we’re going to need all the protection that we could get.” Mr. Hwang said and Gwanjae then stayed quiet for a moment to think.
He knew that the president was very sensitive about money. With that being said, he knew it would be difficult for them to find an option.
After thinking for a moment Gwanjae suddenly thought of something.
“Let’s be thankful to our soldiers,” Gwanjae said before he took out his phone. He tapped to find a name and then he proceeded to type in a number. It took a while but someone answered the phone with an unpleasant tone.
-Why are you calling me? Who is this?
It was a guy with a husky voice and he didn’t seem so happy about the call. Gwanjae just laughed and replied,
-You’re not using your Northern accent? Looks like you’ve really gotten the hang of Korean huh?
Gwanjae scoffed. He then explained to him their plan and the guy answered back with anger, saying,
-What are you talking about! Since when did I get involved in your plans!
-What do you mean getting involved? I’m just suggesting it.
Gwanjae said and he suddenly became silent.
-Should we just risk your suffering or should I move on?
-…
-Starting from today, we’re stepping out of our duty to protect the Korean government.
-What is this foolishness… How do you expect me to believe this?
-Haha. Well, I just don’t like his way of running things.
-Don’t make me laugh! Do you really think I’m going to believe this?
He didn’t believe in anything that Gwanjae had said. Who would ever even think to go against such a powerful person like the Korean president anyway? Their biggest obstacle was the Bileons but they could just destroy them if everything goes right especially the red angel which was the god object of their worship. It played a big role in their domination years ago but if the Korean government were to gather all of its soldiers and team up with Gwanjae, they would be able to destroy anything that would come their way.
-…I see.
Gwanjae simply explained to him their current situation. He didn’t explain it in depth but it was enough to make him understand and laugh as soon as he finished talking.
-I see. Do you really think you can pull that off? Hahaha.
-Yes, I do.
-Hm… Well, there’s no way you’ll be able to take that capitalist government. It won’t matter and all of your efforts will go to waste. Are you going insane?
He said to Gwanjae with a mocking tone. There were just too many people on the president’s side. Even if they got their most powerful hunters, they would eventually fail.
However, Gwanjae made him stop with a single phrase.
-South Pyeongan Province.
-What? What are you saying?
-To receive some stocks, we are going to use all of our strength to regain the Pyeongan Province. In two months! In just two months the president will be bowing down on his knees.
Gwanjae said and everyone fell silent. The guy on the other end of the phone then nervously replied saying,
-Is this true?
“Indeed.”
“Hm… Wait one moment. I have to talk to my team for a second.
-Okay.
He put down the phone and took a sip of green tea from a cup in front of him before he picked it up once again.
-We’ll do it for no charge!
-No deal. I’ll go bankrupt.
-Fine… Fifty percent!
-Hm… 50… Fine.
Gwanjae accepted his offer and they talked some more.
-You’ll have to protect and back us up as much as we need you to.
-60 percent! This won’t be an easy task, we can’t cause any damage to the civilians!
We can’t mess this up!
-Your team won’t need to attack. You guys just need to help us get close to the president.
Gwanjae replied.
-It’s going to be difficult but we’ll get it done. Besides
-Besides what?
-These guys don’t easily die. This is their specialty, we don’t have much to worry about.
Gwanjae said and the investor on the other end of the phone smirked with a hint of satisfaction.
Gwanjae then sat in a chair on the opposite side of Jaehwang.
“Jaehwang.”
“Yes, granddad?”
“Besides taking a bus, do you want to try driving a forklift?”
The Scheme 2, The end.
