Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

chapter 7



bodyguard of the academy

Time passed again.

A few days after I went to the lottery, the photo I took that day was published in a local newspaper.

“I’m going to turn this phone off now, so if you have anything to call, just call the number I’ll give you.”

Eugene came to the United States and gave the number that was opened.

Now that your identity has been exposed, the flies will stick to you.

– okay. I get it.

And how I found out, countless requests for interviews were sent to his email.

Among them, Eugene found a newspaper that seemed to suit her purpose and sent an e-mail responding to the request for an interview.

After emailing each other several times, a reporter came.

The interview was quite enjoyable.

Perhaps he thought of it as his own exit ticket.

And a few days later, an article appeared in the newspaper.

It is not an article devoted to less than I thought. The conversation of the day is contained quite faithfully.

At least according to the article, it seemed that there was a strong possibility that a small and medium-sized company called Seongjin Precision was being treated unfairly by an affiliate of a large company called Daeyang Heavy Industries.

Of course, after that, there were no more articles about Eugene or Seongjin Precision.

However, Eugene thought that he had achieved the goal he had set for himself in the first place.

Around that time, Eugene contacted a well-known bodyguard company that he had known for a while and asked them to dispatch a bodyguard.

Whether in the United States or Korea, the name and face were known, so a minimum safety device was needed.

“Are you under any real threat? For the safety of our customers, we need to make this clear.”

the agent asked.

“There is no such thing.”

“Then are there real enemies or potential enemies?”

“Um…we are litigating legally with a large Korean company. But I’m not sure if that will put my life here at risk.”

“Then you are saying that there is absolutely no chance of that happening.”

I heard it and it is It is not simply the nuance that there is little possibility and there is no possibility at all.

Depending on which one you choose, your life may come and go.

“I guess so. OK, I think there might be enough real threats.”

Eugene understood the meaning of the counselor’s words.

“All right. If so, I think we should upgrade to the armed bodyguard service just in case.”

This is the first time I learned this, but it seems that not all bodyguards carry pistols.

He said that he carries a dog, a cow, or a gun only in the movie, but in reality there are separate unarmed bodyguards and armed bodyguards.

“Well. like. That would be better.”

Being with someone carrying a pistol in a holster inside a suit wasn’t desirable, but the counselor was right.

It is to hire a bodyguard in case of an emergency, then it is better to be a little more certain.

The cost increased slightly, from $1,000 to $1,200 per person per day.

In the case of a general security company, it seems that about half or less is required.

But the company, which claims to have never killed a customer in decades, bids an exorbitantly high price.

Moreover, in the case of a client who is under real threat, the premium seems to be attached again.

Instead, if there is a problem, even if they shoot all over the place, it is reassuring to pay the money to only send out loyal agents who care and watch the customer anyway.

The next day, two men in reserve style, with some very secret and special tattoos on their forearms or back, were dispatched.

Even though he was wearing a suit, the button would bounce off the pectoralis major muscle, like looking at the GI group.

“This is John Westwind. Call me John or Westwind as you please.”

“This is Roger Burton from the Academy. Since our academy was founded, not a single customer has died. I will protect your safety no matter what happens while I am on guard.”

It was a bodyguard who seemed to be full of pride for the company.

I don’t know how far the truth is, but it’s quite famous…

In fact, the company is known for taking the lives of civilians as scavengers to carry out its missions.

Even on a battlefield full of bullets, it would be perfect in a peaceful American land to inevitably protect the life of a client.

Thanks to two strong bodyguards, from that day on, Eugene was able to move around more comfortably.

I decided to spend time visiting places I had never been to because I was saving myself.

Money is the best

We moved hotels while hiring a bodyguard.

This is an old-fashioned hotel located on the border of Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

It was easy to go back and forth between Hollywood and Beverly Hills, which are full of sights, so I didn’t feel bored.

The next day after moving the hotel.

As usual, when he calls his father, he speaks with an uncomfortable look.

– I heard from your mother that she got a phone call. I was trying to contact you, but my phone was off, so I told your mom.

Eugene’s ex-wife… No, it was now about his ex-fiancee.

I think it was because of an interview article I had in the capital economic newspaper.

– She said she asked you for your US phone number. how will we do it?

“I’ll call you.”

– Are you sure?

“yes. Never mind. And… how’s the company?”

– What. it’s spinning just fine

Delivery to Daeyang Heavy Industries accounts for an absolute percentage, and although he knew very well that there was no way to return to business as the deal was cut off, neither his father nor Eugene expressed much concern.

“I heard everything from Yoosung. It’s almost like taking a break these days.”

– Still, there are places to deliver new products with existing customers, and it is quite busy. really! Thanks to you, the number of business partners has increased.

“Are the number of customers increasing?”

– okay. Did you know that you won the 200 billion US lottery? There are a lot of people who are interested in our company. How did they know, they came to me and asked me about this and that, and they even placed an order.

“Aren’t you annoyed?”

– Well, it doesn’t matter. You can tell if you’re from the same industry just by looking at them, so if you don’t like it, just kick them out. In the current situation, it’s important to have a job for anything, so that’s all I can afford. The world is so ugly That’s also so helpful.

Again, I realize that being known in some way helps everything.

It is not just nonsense to say that notoriety is worth much more than namelessness.

“If the surroundings are too noisy, come here with your mother. The company won’t go back without the boss, right?”

– No work. I can’t go back a day without me.

My father was stubborn.

Eugene was well aware that he was a man who had been working all his life, so just because his son had a little bit of money did not mean he would take a break.

– I’d rather let your mother go. Why don’t you just visit America and then come back?

“When Mom comes, Dad will be the enemy.”

– To be hostile. no work

But his mother did not come to America either. She said that she was the only one who would take care of her husband, but in fact, she didn’t seem to want to be a hindrance to her son.

A few days later, after hearing the news that her father had been contacted, Eugene called her.

It must have been the car he was waiting for, but it was late, but seeing that he received it right away, he seemed to be quite anxious.

“Did you call?”

Eugene asked with an indifferent voice.

– What the hell are you doing?

She shot in a sharp voice.

“yes? What are you talking about?”

– The interview.

Her voice is full of poison.

– I know you won the lottery, but why did you even interview me and mention me?

“Ah… was that so? It’s my first time doing an interview, so it’s probably because I’m not in a hurry.”

– Do you know how I look now because of that?

“yes?”

– The people of the company. To what extent do you have to trample on someone to feel cool?

“I didn’t mean to do that, and I don’t think I did an interview like that?”

– You mean that way to the end?

“I have no intentions.”

The conversation between the two went so smoothly.

“Did you receive the sentencing?”

Her voice grew sharper.

“okay. A lawyer will file an answer. And if the lawsuit is due, I’ll see you then.”

– So you’re saying we’re going to finish the lawsuit?

Her voice was a little strange.

Hmm, are you sure you’re reluctant to sue now?

“Do you want to quit here?”

– yes? Oh no… Okay, let’s go to the end. whether you die or i die

there’s something

Even after living with her for several years, Eugene did not realize her hidden truth very much, but at least she was able to notice her feelings.

So the fact that she doesn’t really want a lawsuit.

If so, then maybe someone else wants it.

Well, then…

“okay. So if you feel relieved, do it.”

Eugene smiled and gave her an answer she didn’t want.

– Bad bastard! Throw it away!

This time, he hung up the phone with severe swearing.

The fact that it caused her anger made Eugene happy again.

By the way, what was that bastard thinking?

When Eugene’s family is at stake, this lawsuit makes sense.

But now that Eugene has a huge amount of money, it can’t really do any damage, right?

Eugene had to admit that he still knew too little about the other person.

It seemed that I needed to know a little more about the man.

I hung up the phone and looked at the information about the Daeyang Group chairman family that I had received from Sejong PR.

Daeyang Group is a large conglomerate group with a myth, founded by the current chairman 60 years ago and has risen to the fourth largest group in just 10 years.

A typical Korean conglomerate that has advanced into all industries including electronics, automobiles, heavy industry, finance, distribution, and telecommunications.

He is now entrusting his sons with each affiliate and quietly leading a secluded life, but his influence on the group still seems to be strong.

Eugene opened the file of the CEO of Daeyang Heavy Industries, the third son of Chairman Ryu’s many family members.

He is sixty years old and has three grown sons, all three of whom are working at the headquarters or affiliates of Daeyang Heavy Industries…

Eugene again opened his second son’s file.

[Ryu Seong-gyu. age thirty-four. After graduating from Seoul National University and completing an MBA at Harvard, he returned to work at Morgan Stanley and joined Daeyang Heavy Industries.

Evaluated as the most capable of the third generation of the Daeyang Group.

When he entered Seoul National University, he invested a certain amount of money from his grandfather into investment in securities, and surprised those around him by making it more than 30 times the amount by the time he graduated from college.

Known as the president’s beloved grandson. (not sure)

Personality is cheerful.

Known to have a female bias. (Need to be confirmed)

Rumor has it that he is not his wife’s son. (Most likely)]

Eugene drew an image of a man named Ryu Seong-gyu by adding the memories he knew in the future to the materials he received from Sejong’s PR.

He is a very ambitious man. And he is a man who will build a successful career in the future.

Years later, after the death of the chairman of the Daeyang Group, a bloody war breaks out between the sons.

The winner was the third son, chairman of Daeyang Heavy Industries.

And again, a few years later, the man who became the chairman of the Daeyang Group dies much earlier than his father.

Naturally, a dispute arises between his sons, and the one who will win here is his second son, Ryu Seong-gyu, this man.

A man who has barely entered the forty line has defeated numerous competitors and has stood at the top of a large group, so his ability is certain.

‘I mean this guy….’

In the past life, Eugene did not think that this man was the root of the misfortunes that befell her family.

Rather, I thought the father was the party.

So when he died sooner than expected, Eugene was quite disappointed.

‘I’m glad. This time, I have someone to pay me back.’

Eugene was genuinely happy. I really didn’t know that it would be so enjoyable to have someone to be angry with.
