chapter 5
5 – Tiger’s Den (1)
“Looks like he’s become too famous.”
The week went by like lightning.
But it seems that the value of my name has risen too high in the past week.
[Title]
The hot potato
[Text]
He is one of the biggest hands of all time among the big hands that are often seen these days.
Everyone knows Epic of Seven, right? It’s a name in that community.
Famous as an internet ghost hahahahaha
Then why is this person the best among the few big players?
Starting with Suming No Bangjong Roulette, the amount of sponsorship is more than 10 million Won each time you show your face.
But the amount of sponsorship is also the amount, but this is the bigger hit

It’s a review posted by Gala, who actually met and ate a meal with Hot Potato, so it would be nice to refer to the link.
The shocking thing here is this

The clothes you put on once. All of them are luxury items and limited editions.
Even the watch is a Richard Marle watch, and that is a model with only 9 models in Korea.
The price of the watch alone is over 300 million ^^;
And to top it off, my car is a Rollsroid ㅅㅅㅋㅋ
Rollsroid is not a car that you can buy just because you have a lot of money.
The brand is famous for its crazy guts that it won’t sell at all if it doesn’t meet its standards.
If you heard the fun of the broadcast these days, if you appear on the broadcast of a corporate streamer, the basic price is 10 million won hahahahaha
In many ways, the crazy wealth that has come to the singularity

-Does it seem like a coinsol wife?
This is right
If you’re sleepy, you can’t even ride a Rolls-Royd, please hahahahaha
Yes, it seems to be a cut right from the qualification test
I must have bought it secondhand.
That’s cool, that’s a new model, so there aren’t a few units in Korea, and there’s not even a single one that’s been sold used.
Nwow then it’s just steamed
-Look at what you’re wearing. Does that look like a badass? Lol
-As for the rumors going around, the rumor that it is a diamond spoon is the most influential
-It’s okay, and I’m so f*cking envious that my stomach hurts
ㄴ I feel unlikable in many ways.
-I see that human impersonation a lot these days hahahaha
The comments were very messy.
Anyway, the fun of spending money lately must have been the root of the problem.
I went mainly to large-scale broadcasts and drew aggro brightly, and the hot potato-related goong-ye article vomited up the best 1st to 5th place and swallowed it all.
The hottest topic among them is the source of funds for the hot potato.
I honestly don’t know the details of my source of funds.
One thing that needs to be pointed out. The current situation is that the lies scattered like fragments have gathered and become one huge reality.
Is it because you have a lot of money? Is it my family relationship?
I didn’t describe all of this in detail like a setting book.
I received an inheritance. It was called an investment.
All I have written about the reasons for having a lot of money are these flimsy details.
The more detailed the lie, the more loopholes to bite on, so I just wrote everything in a vague way.
In other words, all I know is that he received his parents’ property as ‘inheritance’ and was called ‘investment’ in various ways.
Is the inherited property a transparent property, and what kind of investment method was used to raise the money?
All the truth is still in the dark.
Am…
I yawn naturally when I am thinking about troublesome things.
He yawned and scratched his cheek.
“What is this?”
I straightened my cell phone to the continuous ringing.
What is it? It’s definitely the first number I’ve seen.
“Hello.”
“Are you Seongwoo Kim?”
“That’s right. Who are you?”
I asked in a cautious voice.
“Ha, you changed your number again.”
A man who whispers softly with an annoyed voice as soon as he sees my name.
“Who are you?”
“Are you going to give up your pretense now? Nothing has changed yet.”
What are you talking about, you madman.
I started getting annoyed.
‘Looking at the way he speaks, I’m sure there’s something there.’
Okay or not, the man on the phone was busy pushing me.
“What are we going to do now?”
“Because I was recently injured, my memory is not complete. Excuse me, but who are you?”
“You said your memory wasn’t perfect because you were injured…?”
“Yes, please understand.”
I can’t help it.
I am not generous enough to convince someone who is hostile about my situation. I have no choice but to just cry.
If you’ve bowed down like this, I’d like you to calm down and explain. As if responding to my wishes, the man continued with a calmer voice.
“You’re not saying you can’t even remember your uncle’s voice now, are you?”
“Uncle… ?”
I’ve never seen a face like my uncle.
Among the false settings I roughly scribbled, has something else been dramatized according to probability?
‘What kind of situation is this?’
Chill-
Let’s try to think about family relationships that don’t even exist. Memories of my family that I didn’t even know started flooding my head like a flood.
I trembled for a long time as if my whole body was shivering in intense pain, as if I had been electrocuted by high-voltage current.
Clap-
The gears in my head began to find their place one by one.
Ki-Yong Kim, CEO of the Montreal Hotel, and my father’s brother.
The overflowing information was stably absorbed into my head before I knew it.
I tried to calm down my dangerously shaking voice and continued the conversation.
“… What are you doing?”
“Tsk. This Saturday, there is a family gathering at my father’s house. Don’t even think about missing out this time, just come on time.”
“·····”
“I delivered it, so don’t hang up. A pitiful fellow.”
I sighed deeply and rolled up my sleeves to wipe away the cold sweat.
I held on to the flickering memories and restored them again.
‘The chairman of Taewoong Group is the person who will be my grandfather, and I am the third generation of a conglomerate, right?’
Now the puzzle is starting to fit.
It was strange from the beginning. How can an individual who has nothing to offer have hundreds of billions of assets?
Anyway, it seems that the gaps in probability that arise when lies become reality are dramatized in this way.
When it comes to the royal family of Korea’s leading conglomerate, the situation fits quite well.
‘This Saturday… ?’
A family gathering you must attend.
In my memories that I have organized, it is almost a compliment to say that my relationship with them is the worst.
If I had to choose my side, it would be Taewoong Group Chairman Kim Young-hoon, who is my grandfather.
If it was normal, I would definitely not have attended.
‘It’s too good an opportunity to find information that is insufficient to ignore.’
We cannot rule out the possibility of finding memories there, just like before.
My mentality isn’t so weak that I’m hurt by bad words from people I don’t even know. As before, the option to run away is to refuse.
Awkward.
I clenched my fists and muttered as if possessed.
“What was the market cap of affiliates of Taewoong Group?”
****
Haa…..
“I never thought I would be so nervous about going to see my family.”
Vureung-
The engine of the car is turned off. I cleaned up my clothes and got out of the car.
“Chairman, the class isn’t going anywhere.”
Someone thinks it’s not the chairman’s private home.
It boasts an enormous scale that is incomparable to any other house in the area. Maybe this is what a modern mansion looks like.
Leaving behind the luxury cars parked side by side, I entered the entrance along the luxurious garden that stretched out right in front of me.
“Are you a voice actor?”
Awkwardly.
I turned around at the beautiful voice.
There, a woman wearing a neat one-piece dress was looking at me with a displeased expression.
Kim Ye-won, my aunt.
“Uh… Nice to meet you?”
I don’t have anything to answer, so what can I do?
You can’t spit on a smiling face. He just smiled broadly and said hello casually.
“What are you doing here? Now, what kind of bean curd are you going to eat?”
She gave a curt sarcasm to her face, her smile gone.
That’s me. Just saying hello once, look at them opening their ax eyes and glancing at them.
If you say hello twice, you’re ready to kill someone.
“Well, I don’t know if there are any beans left to eat.”
“… You…”
“I enjoyed the conversation. Let’s go in first.”
I hit her first and then passed her before she fluttered again.
The eyes of contempt pierce each step forward. They are familiar gazes as if they came to their hometown.
Oh, there it is. The protagonist of this gathering. Taewoong Group Chairman Kim Young-hoon was sitting in the highest seat.
Despite the wrinkles from the storms of life intact and the white hair that had leaked out, those eyes that were still burning were like the owners of a company.
I watched him admiring his majestic figure like a tiger.
‘Ah, they made eye contact.’
Before it got awkward, he quickly bowed his head and said hello.
Looking up, a puzzled look was evident on his face.
I called him to come and he forcibly dragged this body. Whatever happened, everyone he met reacted as if he had seen a ghost.
“It’s been a while, Grandpa.”
“······”
He looks at me with a stunned expression.
Seriously, it’s unbearably burdensome.
I crawled into the tiger’s den to get some information, but the number must have been wrong.
What did you drag on for so long to say?
“Yes… have you calmed down a bit now?”
“Yes, because you can’t be hung up on the past forever.”
I just looked at his complexion, replying soullessly.
Looking at the guilt-stained face, it’s clear that something is bothering me…
I guess I’ll have to do that again.
A few days ago, I tried to refresh his memory and brainwashed him into his relationship with his grandfather.
Pudeuk-
What?
“Quaaa!!”
“Voice actor!! Hey bastard, wake up!!!”
I collapsed to my knees, twisting my whole body in an incomparable, crushing pain.
Ah-
Now I know.
Relatives who stand on the edge of strangeness. Even the grandfather who shudders with guilt as if he had committed a mortal sin.
Now I understand all those hateful faces.
That my parents’ death wasn’t just a car accident.
