10. Blind faith

The surroundings were quiet.

It was because the people who had bothered me all of a sudden became calm. He seemed to realize that there was nothing to be gained by bothering me.

‘Everyone must be thinking about how to deal with it, probably.’

The only thing that bothered me was that my friend hadn’t sold mana yet.

The guy named Moon Seong-min who first urged me to invest in mana. He was a golf lesson pro to his rich people.

Most of the lesson pros live surprisingly hard, but Seong-min Moon was an A-class, spending 10 million won a month. He said he was carrying around 80,000 mana.

It was right to let him escape if possible.

I wasn’t doing this simply to make friends.

Moon Seong-min was the informant who informed me of Kwon Ye-sol’s entertainment, although he may not have intended it at all. He even took pictures and sent them to me. While boasting that such great people are supporting Kwon Ye-sol.

‘In a way, it seems like things got easier thanks to him.’

I knew how difficult it is to convince someone who has fallen into blind faith.

Still, isn’t it right to try? I made up my mind and immediately called him.

“Seongmin-ah. Is it a clubhouse?”

“… ….”

You don’t answer. Apparently, I had a lot of complaints about attacking Manacoin.

“I ask a question, but I have to answer it. I have something urgent to tell you.”

“… I have to go to field lessons now. They are important students.”

“It won’t be more important than your wealth. I warned you before, but mana is dangerous now. I’m not blindly claiming it, but I can tell just by looking at the size of the Stellar coin deposited in the DeFi service, the market cap of the mana that is the collateral, and the amount of the reserve….”

“Don’t try to teach. I am the one who recommended Manacoin to you.”

“Yes. It did.”

“I’m not pointing this out, but you shouldn’t suddenly act like an expert just because you became a member of the National Assembly, honestly.”

“… ….”

“And speaking of now… Don’t you know that I threw sh*t on me because of you? It’s a photo I sent to show how many people support Manacoin, but what if I use it for an attack instead? Where is the distortion?”

Although it was expected, the momentum was more stubborn than expected. Rather, it seemed that he was waiting for me to make a phone call.

‘How do I convince you of this?’

I couldn’t explain in detail what was going on behind the scenes.

The Financial Services Commission, which has yielded to pressure, will soon issue a press release in the name of the chairman requesting caution in investing in mana, or a hedge fund in the United States recently borrowed a large amount of bitcoin, and the use is related to mana. It seems like

… Even if the former was true, the latter could not be mentioned absolutely.

That was information that even I couldn’t have obtained if it wasn’t for Na Hye-ri. No, in fact, even Na Hye-ri said she got it by accident.

“Suho. I think the investment companies have also moved. To be honest, I don’t know the exact story. I got a bitcoin loan, but I don’t know what it’s for…. But from what I heard, isn’t it obviously related to Stella-Mana?”

“I didn’t know you had connections on Wall Street.”

“I don’t have any personal connections…. However, if you do politics for a few years, you will naturally come up with a means. To be honest, I was a bit surprised, too, this time.”

It was just yesterday, Na Hye-ri said.

I could have been in trouble if I went around with such sensitive information. No matter how friendly you are, you can’t take risks.

The method I chose was to at least reduce Sungmin Moon’s losses.

“Seongmin-ah. Then how about selling some of it?”

“Some? Uh… that.”

“Right now, we only sell about 10,000 units to secure profits. Then, even in the worst case, you can avoid being cornered.”

“… ….”

This recommendation seemed to work a bit.

Yes. Sell at least some

Considering the current market price of mana, selling just a portion of it would be a good idea. That way, you won’t have to worry about losing everything even after the worst imaginable happens. That’s enough for me to fulfill my duty as a friend.

“What do you want to do? Of course, I’m not forcing you.”

“Illiga… I have.”

Even thinking about it made me teary-eyed, but I had no intention of robbing my mouth any more here. All that was left was this guy’s choice.

Judging from the atmosphere so far, maybe they will accept it? I didn’t force you to sell everything, so why would you refuse?

I wonder if a minute passed like that.

Around the time when the silence was getting longer and the discomfort was slowly rising. Sungmin Moon opened his mouth.

“Hey, Suho. I appreciate your words, but I’ll just decline.”

The answer was far from what I expected.

He said he didn’t want to sell it even if he died, but he had no intention of persistently persuading him.

But there was one thing I was curious about. How can they distrust me so much that they reject even the conciliatory offer to sell a portion of it?

“If your will is right, there is nothing you can do about it…. But Sungmin. Let’s promise just one thing.”

“What promise?”

“I hope you will not resent me no matter what happens in the future. I’ve known you for 20 years since my junior academy days. I think I at least kept my loyalty worthy of those years. I don’t know what you think.”

At these words, only a hollow laugh came back.

“Don’t worry, I won’t resent you even if you know me.”

As soon as the call ended, a slight bitterness rose.

And I also thought that Moon Sung-min wasn’t just showing off his guts.

Around the time I was persuading while shaking my mouth, an article related to mana appeared. It was already being turned into rice cakes in the community.

『Na Hye-ri and Lee Soo-ho solo performances in the Blue House… “You can’t touch the virtual currency investor’s vices.”

『Peace Party, surprised by the backlash from mana investors, requesting refrain from extraordinary action lawmakers』

They said that the government and the ruling party exploded in anger at Na Hye-ri and my behavior. While going into a frenzy.

The contents were also very specific. How many staff members came out and cursed at Na Hye-ri during the Blue House secretariat meeting? It may have actually happened, but it seemed to me that it was a custom-made article sent out to reassure the mana investors.

‘They’re driving it as if two members of the National Assembly ran out of control without grounds. I wonder if Seongmin saw this too.’

Of course, he probably didn’t change his mind because of a few articles.

I was just looking for a justification not to sell the car, so I just saw an article that suits my taste. It must have given him the confidence to turn down my offer…. Maybe regardless of my efforts, I didn’t even know the answer was fixed from the beginning.

The moment when the thought of losing a friend crossed my mind.

But it wasn’t disturbing.

It may be said to be cold-hearted, but considering what will happen to the political world in the future, this much was nothing. It’s not really just one or two people.

I only escaped the situation of being unfairly cornered as a scapegoat, and I wasn’t in a situation where I was particularly vigilant. It was because Yeouido was going to burn soon.

All I could do for my friend was to pray that he would get hurt less.

“He was also a member of the National Assembly after all. Somehow, he said he had a sudden acceleration.”

Moon Seong-min, who teaches amateurs based at Anyang Star Valley CC, a membership golf course competing for the top spot in Korea, muttered with a smile.

Of course, the target he secretly laughs at is his friend Suho Lee.

An old friend whom I have known since childhood. They were best friends for 10 years until Suho Lee quit playing golf. In terms of talent, Suho Lee had a slight edge, but he got along pretty well. We’ve been relatively close since he left golf.

He was a very peculiar and pitiful fellow.

It was unusual to quit sports when I was in my second year of high school because I was told that I had professional-level skills, and to catch up with my studies late, somehow graduate from a decent university, and then get a job as a secretary to a member of the National Assembly.

If he only played golf, he might be playing for the MPGA in America by now.

But looking at it now, it seems that Lee Soo-ho has also become a politician. It must be to raise awareness by attracting aggro in this way.

Actually, Suho Lee’s name has spread quite a bit.

It was thanks to his participation in attacking the native coin, which ranked 5th in market cap, and beating the genius Kwon Ye-sol, who has become a sign that is approaching 8 trillion won. In the past, it was at the level of being talked about occasionally, but it was not a good phenomenon for male lawmakers to be judged on their face.

I didn’t mean to criticize Suho Lee’s behavior. However, he had no reason to sell mana coins just by trusting his words.

I don’t believe that mana will rise forever… At least now wasn’t the time.

Mana 89,700KRW +2.10%

It was because Mana stopped her sideways movement and climbed up refreshingly after a long time. She attributed it to the recovery of buying in the US, she said.

In the end, it meant that the burger sisters didn’t see it as a bad thing whether or not they touched mana in the Korean political world. In a sense, wouldn’t it be safe to say that the bottom of her was firmly stamped?

‘Up to 100,000 won per piece would be okay. If you sell it then, 8 billion… !’

Just thinking about it, it was a sweet profit.

Sungmin Moon put his smart phone into his pocket as he felt his heart tighten. Even while he was working, he thought that he should check it from time to time.

Unfortunately, however, an intruder appeared.

“MoonPro, are you going to take your phone with you?”

One of the students who had a field lesson scheduled for today gave me a puzzled look.

Needless meddling… Was not

This CC has very strict and conservative rules, so it was forbidden to bring smartphones into the field. I was only allowed to wear the specified attire.

“Shouldn’t we protect what we need to protect? There are no rules for nothing.”

The person who criticizes Moon Seong-min now is a rich student with a 2.5 Billion membership. Even after she sold mana and became rich, he thought of starting a golf-related business, so it was a bit easy to ignore him.

“… hahahaha, sorry.”

Sungmin Moon smiled and put his smart phone in the locker.

About four or five hours at most.

It would be nerve-wracking, but I could tolerate that much. When I checked after work, I couldn’t ask for anything more if the price had gone up.

“Let’s go.”

Today, the grass at the golf course felt particularly green.
