“Ouf!!..holy shiz!!.. Kyu Dong Woo was sent flying!!... Served him right!!…who told him to even dare treated everyone like his underling…he even dared to harm my goddess, Hwa Young!!… But..wait a minute..why is that man looked familiar?..”. (Hwa Young Fan Club member number 2020)
In a certain Soup restaurant, everyone was tuning in on the latest real variety show from the CBC channel, In The Personal Life, every single person in the restaurant, from the bystander the outside of the restaurant, to its customers and even the restaurant staff itself were all nailed on the spot, as the watched on of the greatest moment in the history of Variety show happening live.
Just like at the filming spot, from the moment Kyu Dong Woo speaks and grabs Hwang Hwa Young's hand, everyone can already feel that the idol's usual lovable personality was not real at all. And everyone's guesses were proven right as he started to lash out the barrage of insults
The fact that the entire world has been spur into a frenzy by the sudden appearance of the Virtue Financial Owner Mies Sai on the TV show, and on top of that what it seems to be that he just hit a person to defend his own girlfriend. This has incurred a lot of issues, not only to the public but also to many parties, the broadcasting company, the show itself, the public, and most importantly the Virtue Management Team. Whos in frenzy after seeing their hidden boss has not only decided to show himself, and on top of that personally went to defend Hwang Hwa Young, Which was supposed to be their job.“I didn’t expect to see this kind of fiasco..happened inside my own turf…where is Park Zuo Yung, Yeon Ja-Ssi?…Also..where is Bang Dae Jung?…didn’t I tell them to stick close to Her?…..”.Everyone was still shocked after seeing Mies Sai, just casually standing there and started asking a question. Despite everyone seeming to be
“...Hi, Hwa Young…You look…beautiful today….how’s you’ve been?… Looks like I stay in for far too long right?….<Sigh~>…did you tell everyone to let you handle everything by yourselves?…Even to Park Zuo Yung and Bang Dae Jung?..”.“Yes…after all, I can’t just be weak when you weren’t here..right?…..Thank you for the compliment though…it felt even more special when it comes from you Oppa….When did you come out?..”. (Hwang Hwa Young)Just looking at her reactions and the way she wanted to calm me down. I could guess everything already, she was the one, telling everyone to hold back, and she wanted to handle everything herself. She might even know that Kyu Dong Woo had issues, and this might be her plan all along. But to me, sometimes her plans were a little bit too sloppy, I guess it was natural to do, for her not being well versed in ret
For some unknown reason, this lady approached me and actually asked me to join her show. This is not the development that I have ever anticipated at all, I don’t know if she is just clueless or just blatantly mindless. I have just done getting upset with her about how her show was managed, and she dared to even ask such questions to me. Right now I was still trying to process just how do I react to her sudden request.“...Did you just ask me to join your show?…just now?…after all that I have seen…all this mess?…you do know who I am right?…”.“Umm…ah..ye..yes?….I..I..this show is…Um..”.(Main Producer San Da Hee)With my returning the questions back to her, this has made her stutter at her every single word. Her request is nothing short, but rude to me, she just showed how incompetent she was in handling her casting in the first place, and that ultimately led to this very issue.
Seeing just how effective Choi Ji Su was before me, and just how in tune she was with me, it made me feel proud of her. It was like finally, I found myself the perfect left-hand man for me, the feeling that I have right now is much more stronger than when I joined hands with Catherine. If Catherine can be said to be able to represent me in the sunlight, Choi Jin Su is someone that can represent me in the shadows, and just like my hidden self, she does not mind getting her hands dirty, she was just like Park Zuo Yung. They both were not like any small child that would fret about any dirty job, instead, they choose to thrive in it.“I must say…You’ve impressed me Choi Jin Su…So..Did you find out who was the dirty wolf behind that kid?..”.I pulled her to the side, away from everyone in the room. With the other fiasco that was going on in the room, there are barely anyone who even noticed me and Choi Jin Su already near the door, speaking s
The entire fiasco is basically over by now. With Kyu Dong Woo and his affiliates were dragged out of the filming space, and my people already started to back away and let the filming crew do what they want. The situation has become rather back to normal, but since Kyu Dong Woo just suddenly being removed in the middle of the shows, and on top of that now that I am already making a surprise appearance. Somehow right now the entire attention has shifted to me, and right now I was currently in a sit down with, Main Producer San Da Hee, MC Suk Jae Hyuk, Hwang Hwa Young, and Sharon Jackson.“...So basically right now..you were still asking me and wanted me to appear on your show?...and you were not even kidding about this?..”.“Yes!!..though what happened just now is unfortunate…but no matter what...I assured you that that incident before...we actually can have them under control…at that time, we are actually had, Miss Sharon Jackson security
“Ahem!…San Da Hee PD…and MC Jae…Since..I have indirectly caused you guys your valuable time…it was only fair for me to agree with some of your demands…..”.“Wait does this mean that..you’re…”. (Main Producer San Da Hee)“Yes…I will join your show…at the moment…”.“REALLY!!!..that’s great, President Mies!!…oh god..this way..we can do so many new things for the show!!….gosh..there are so many things I wanted to try!!…I can’t wait!!…”. (MC Jae)“Thank you, Sir!!… I promise you..you won’t regret this decision!!…don’t worry…no matter what I will make you look good!!… I am the first person that able to get the famous tycoon on my show!!!….surely this will guaranteed an award!!!…hahahaha!!..”. (Main Producer San Da Hee)Not just mention
After it had been decided that I would be making an appearance on the ‘In The Personal Life’ Show. I decided to leave the filming space and let Hwa Young and all the other to do their job, without any interference. Instead I headed to the Virtue Financial HQ, here in Seoul, Since I was here already it was better for me to deal with everything that I had to. As always, Ran Hyun Ok come running down from her office just to greet me, naturally she too have heard of everything that had happened today, after all, Choi Ji Soo also headed here first before me.“...You know…that you don’t really have to come all this way just to greet me right?… this is not like drama, that every time when I got here you have to make a line up entrance like this..”.“..Sir,n Something is better like this…though it looks like a grand receptions….in fact, almost all the corporation in Korea did this when
“Welcome Sir…This way please…”. (Choi Jin Su)As noth me and Park Zuo Yung were savoring the changes of the entirely new office from before, Choi Jin Su came forward together with her new lines up of staff. There were still old faces in the mixed but now, there has been a changed there were quite many new faces, and what is shocking to me is that the it was almost all female. She leads me into an observations room, that shows 2 other room from behind the one way glass.“You separate the 2 of them…why?..is the Artist and the Manager didn’t have the same standpoint?..”.Inside the 2 room, one was for Kyu Dong Woo, who is seated with face full of anger and madness and an apparent bruise on his left cheek. The other room was for his Manager, on the other hand was quite calm, one can say that he shows a confident looks and even arrogance.“No&
A trusted royal scribe—a man who had served the palace for over a decade—was found dead before sunrise. A dagger coated in poison was discovered strapped to his leg. The second attempt followed soon after.A servant carrying tea for the Queen was intercepted before she could enter the throne room. Hidden beneath the silver tray was a vial of deadroot extract, a lethal poison. The servant, after interrogation, confessed that her family had been taken hostage by nobles who ordered the hit.Then came the third, fourth, and fifth attempts. Archers on rooftops. Explosives set along the Queen’s carriage route. Blades hidden in the folds of a courtier’s robes.Each time, the assassins failed. Each time, they disappeared without a trace. Helen knew who was behind it. But rather than show fear, she faced the storm head-on.Seated in her war room, Helen traced her fingers along a map of Hallerus, where red ink circled enemy strongholds. Duke Merrica stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp eyes
Aeternum had taught her a valuable lesson—control is not about force, but manipulation. So, she would make them turn on each other.Helen began summoning the nobles one by one, speaking to them in private meetings. She whispered honeyed words into their ears.“Viscount Talis, I need a reliable man. Duke Rehn is plotting against me, and I require your loyalty.”“Countess Ferros, your influence is invaluable. I fear Duke Rehn is siphoning funds, and I need someone I trust to investigate.”“Duke Rehn, the other nobles are moving against you. You must act swiftly before they remove you from power.”With every meeting, seeds of distrust were sown.The nobles—drunk on greed—were too blind to see that they were being played.And so, one by one, they began to conspire against each other.As the nobles scrambled to destroy each other, Helen’s true loyalists made their move.Under the cover of darkness, handpicked assassins carried out eliminations with precision.Duke Rehn?Found dead in his s
“Then Mies will destroy Hallerus.”Helen turned sharply toward him. “You think he would go that far?”Merrica didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”Helen stared at him, searching for a lie. A hint of hesitation. But there was none.“He will not give you mercy a second time, Helen,” Merrica said. “If those nobles push for war, if they even dare to challenge Aeternum—you will lose.”He took another step forward, his voice heavy. “And I will not be able to protect you.”For the first time in their conversation, Helen looked away. Merrica saw it. The fear. The realization.She already knew everything he was saying was true. She had just been too proud—too trapped—to admit it.Silence hung between them. Then, at last, Helen spoke.“…What do you want me to do?”Merrica finally allowed himself a small sigh of relief.“You already know what must be done, Helen,” he said gently. “You must take back your court.”Helen slowly nodded, though her expression remained grim. “Those nobles will not leave peace
“Merrica understands that if Hallerus moves against Aeternum, we won’t hold back.”Kasuma gave a knowing smirk. “And you won’t hesitate to destroy them.”I met her gaze, unblinking.“No.”A heavy silence fell between us.Kasuma leaned forward, her voice softer but firm. “You don’t want war with Hallerus.”“No, I don’t,” I admitted. “The people of Hallerus don’t deserve to suffer for their queen’s mistakes. Merrica doesn’t deserve to be put in that position.”Kasuma studied me for a moment before sighing. “Then let’s hope Duke Merrica succeeds.”I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts swirling. Visma was controlled. Chaos was their prison, and we held the keys. Hallerus, however, was different.It was once an ally, a friend, a brother. But betrayal had shattered that bond. Still… I didn’t want to be the one to crush it completely. I drummed my fingers on my desk. If Helen could be saved, then perhaps—A knock interrupted my thoughts.“Enter,” I called.An ACIA officer stepped in, bowi
The Merchant Guild Leader, Darvio Vinn, who had profited the most from blocking Aeternum trade. His warehouses stored inferior goods at premium prices, keeping the economy strangled in his grip.The General of the Royal Army, Lionel Ferin, who had bled the treasury dry with excessive military spending, preaching about “independence” while weakening their forces with outdated tactics.They had to be removed. One by one, quietly, without causing suspicion. But how? Merrica could not simply accuse them—Helen trusted them. If he moved too boldly, she would see him as the enemy.No, he had to be careful. He had to play the game. Merrica stood, pouring himself another glass of wine. He would begin by exposing the corruption—turning the people against the parasites that fed on Hallerus.The merchants would learn how Darvio Vinn had been overpricing basic goods. The military officers would see how General Lionel Ferin had been wasting funds on obsolete strategies. The court would hear whisper
At a local tavern, I overheard a group of soldiers drunkenly complaining."Our weapons are old.""Our rations taste like pig slop.""Did you hear? Even Alemia is receiving Aeternum goods now.""We should have never broken ties."I smirked. They knew. Their queen had failed them, and their nation was falling behind while the rest of the world thrived under Aeternum’s soft power. The people of Hallerus were not fools. They saw the rising prosperity of the allied nations, the luxurious goods, the technological marvels, the entertainment, the food. They could only watch in envy.At sunset, I met with Duke Merrica Murrs at his estate. His once-proud posture had been replaced with exhaustion. His eyes, which once held confidence, now carried deep regret.We sat in his grand study, the silence stretching between us. Finally, he spoke."I should have stopped her."I said nothing."I vouched for her. I believed in her." He exhaled, shaking his head. "And now, my people suffer because of my mis
Meanwhile, in Yulga, Maria sat comfortably in her study, reading the latest reports.Lysander stood beside her, amused. "Another assassin failed. This is getting predictable."Maria smirked. "Vismal thinks he’s playing chess, but he’s only moving pawns."She set down her glass, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let him keep trying. Let him think he has control.""And when he finally realizes he doesn’t?" Lysander asked.Maria leaned back, exhaling softly. "By then, he won’t be king anymore."While King Vismal wasted his energy plotting assassinations, he failed to see the true danger.His nobles squabbled over the black market. His people secretly craved Aeternum goods. His own soldiers whispered of defecting.Visma was rotting from the inside out. And Maria? She simply watched it happen. She wasn’t just controlling the black market. She was controlling Visma’s fate. One failed assassination at a time.King Vismal III believed he could eliminate Maria Yulga. He believed he could take
"Oi, you got the stuff?""Yeah, yeah, keep it down!"A merchant nervously looked around before handing over a carefully wrapped package."This is the good stuff—straight from Aeternum. Papa Pizza’s special cheese blend. Got it from a merchant who knows a guy who knows a guy."The buyer, a Visma noble in disguise, snatched it eagerly."Finally! I’ve been dying to try this! You have no idea how boring Visma’s food is compared to Aeternum’s cuisine!""Yeah, yeah, pay up first.""Fine, fine—how much?""Two hundred gold pieces."The noble nearly choked. "T-Two hundred?! That’s robbery!"The merchant smirked. "And yet, you’re still going to pay it, aren’t you?"The noble gritted his teeth, but handed over the money anyway. Aeternum’s products were so desirable that people were willing to spend fortunes just to get a taste.And that was exactly what ACIA wanted. By controlling the underground economy, Aeternum achieved multiple goals:Economic Control – Even though Visma banned Aeternum’s pr
The people were asking too many questions. The smugglers were getting bolder. Even their own guards and soldiers were caught listening to Aeternum’s broadcasts in secret. A revolution wasn’t just coming—it was being broadcast live.In an attempt to regain control, the non-allied nations did the only thing they knew how to do—They cracked down. Massive raids were conducted in the dead of night. Entire villages were searched. Merchants were arrested. Radios were smashed in public squares.But no matter how many products they confiscated, no matter how many smugglers they punished, it didn’t stop. Aeternum’s influence was already too deep. The people had tasted the forbidden fruit—and they weren’t about to let go of it.What made matters worse was that not everyone in power was loyal to the cause. Behind closed doors, even high-ranking nobles were secretly buying Aeternum’s products for themselves. Some were sneaking off to allied territories under the guise of “diplomatic visits” just s
