Chapter 236
Chapter 236
“The 30 billion . . . Do you need to know? No, it shouldn’t be a large amount of money for the current Gang Hyeonu, right? Can’t you just bury it?” Moon Doyeong’s face was stiff as he spoke .
There were no signs of the passionate club owner . From this moment on, only the cool CEO of Moon Capital who knew nothing but money existed .
“I want it all, all of the details . Everything that CEO Moon Doyeong knows about the 30 billion won . ” Hyeonu didn’t avoid Moon Doyeong’s eyes . Rather, he glared at Moon Doyeong angrily .
“I understand . I’ll tell you everything I know . Where should I start from?” Moon Doyeong let out a small sigh before smiling at Hyeonu .
“From start to finish, please tell me all of it . ” Hyeonu barely smiled in response .
Instead, his lips pressed together to form the ‘一’ character . He couldn’t even smile . The reason why his father was lying in the hospital room and the reason why Hyeonyu had to pay back the money . . . He couldn’t smile when the reality was placed before his eyes .
“From here on, I swear on my name, Moon Doyeong, that everything I will tell you isn’t a lie . ”
Then Moon Doyeong opened the briefcase he was carrying and pulled out his tablet PC .
“My company didn’t have the 30 billion won debt for long . It was only for around three or four months . You might not understand, but the lender wasn’t interested in the huge amount of 30 billion . People would say it doesn’t make sense . ”
Moon Doyeong opened the memo application on the tablet PC, picked up a pen, and drew a picture . On the tablet PC, three squares were drawn in the arrangement of a triangle and respectively filled with the words ‘an investment finance company’, ‘Damsu Construction’, and ‘Moon Capital’ .
Moon Doyeong drew two lines from ‘an investment finance company’ and connected a line each to ‘Damsu Construction’ and ‘Moon Capital’ .
“However, it was true . It was transferred to me as a bad debt from the investment finance company . It didn’t cost me money, so I didn’t have to worry about it . Therefore, I didn’t even think about getting the interest . ”
It meant the investment finance company gave away a 30 billion won debt . This was a factor that determined the company’s financial evaluation and the reason why the company wanted to dispose of a bad debt they likely weren’t going to get back .
“However, I became interested in this money from the day that you, Alley Leader, returned 10 billion won to me . ”
Someone’s name was written on the line between ‘Damsu Construction’ and ‘an investment finance company’ .
Jung Cheolho—he was Jung Hanbaek’s father, the vice president of Damsu Construction, and the confidant of Hyeonu’s father for decades . He was someone who was now an enemy . Hyeonu’s eyes shook when he saw the name .
Moon Doyeong continued speaking like he didn’t see Hyeonu’s appearance or maybe he was ignoring Hyeonu . “It was this man, Jung Cheolho . The 30 billion won is the result of the debt created by him . He spent decades embezzling from the mid-sized company called Damsu Construction . Jung Cheolho made two—no, three ledgers . In the second ledger, all traces were connected to the president of Damsu Construction, President Gang Seokjun . ”
A link between ‘Jung Cheolho’ and ‘Damsu Construction’ was drawn .
Gang Seokjun was Hyeonu’s father .
“However, this is where there is a problem . Jung Cheolho’s embezzlement was discovered by chance . One of Damsu Construction’s projects needed a lot of money immediately . Of course, there was no problem at all on paper, but there was no money in the company’s funds . Consequently, Damsu Construction failed to supply the needed money and fell into trouble,” Moon Doyeong said while continuing to draw .
It was to make it easier for Hyeonu to understand .
“So . . . what next?” Hyeonu asked in a calm voice .
When Moon Doyeong heard Hyeonu’s words, he was reminded of a saying: ‘Once you reach the peak, things become rather ordinary . ’ Alley Leader’s anger had reached the peak, but at a glance, he looked ordinary .
“President Gang Seokjun ran away while trying to save Damsu Construction, but there were no positive results . He just knew someone embezzled the company’s money . Gang Hyeonu, you know the situation after that . He fell from grace . In addition to the fall of the boss, Damus Construction continued to collapse . It was torn apart . The company’s assets were sold to pay off the debt, but it couldn’t be fully paid off . Finally, President Gang was suspected of corruption, and the remaining debt of 30 billion won was placed on him . ”
An (X) mark was drawn next to the name ‘Damsu Construction’ . Then a ‘30 billion won’ link was created between ‘Gang Seokjun’ and ‘an investment finance company’ .
“The owner of this 30 billion won was Geumgang Investment Finance . It is the company that transferred the 30 billion won debt to me . It is also the parent company of the company that Jung Cheolho is now CEO of . ”
On the paper, the word ‘Geumgang’ was added on top of ‘the investment finance company’ .
“This doesn’t mean they are the cause of everything behind the scenes . Everything was done by this person, Jung Cheolho . He took the money he stole from Damsu Construction and handed it over to Geumgang Investment Finance to seek his own glory and wealth . Ah! He is also the person who gave the 30 billion won debt to me . I know because he came to see me . ”
The picture that was completed on the tablet PC was similar to a mind map . All the branches stretched out around Jung Cheolho . Geumgang Investment Finance, Damsu Construction, and Moon Capital—everything was associated with him .
‘In the end, it is as Jung Hanbaek said . Jung Cheolho planned everything . . . ’

Hyeonu heard all the details regarding the 30 billion won, but he still felt empty . No, it was still lacking .
‘I have to hear it from either my father or Jung Cheolho, one of the two parties involved . ’
He wanted to hear their story .
‘Why did you do that? What the hell did you do just because something was lacking?’
He would hear all of it .
Hyeonu opened his mouth and said, “Thank you for telling me . I said it the other day, but I don’t blame you . You didn’t pursue an illegal collection of the debts or cause any trouble . ”
“If you like, I can try finding out more . If you want to understand more than this . . . it probably isn’t impossible . ”
Hyeonu seemed to know what Moon Doyeong had refrained from saying: ‘I am a third party while you are an involved party . ’
As such, Hyeonu said, “I am grateful for the kindness, but I’ll just accept your good intentions . I will hear it directly from my father in the future . ”
It was at this moment that the door opened, and the waiter served the food they had ordered .
“First, why don’t we focus on happy stories today, CEO Moon?”
“Okay . Then would you like to watch the Arena League videos?”

“Then I’ll see you next time . ” Hyeonu said goodbye to Moon Doyeong, who was sitting in the car .

Then Hyeonu headed to a red Panamera . He got into his car and put his hand on the steering wheel without even starting the engine . A short time later, the red Panamera exited the hotel’s parking lot . The place where Hyeonu arrived at was situated on a road lined with huge buildings . It was the hospital where his father was hospitalized .
Hyeonu couldn’t resist coming to see his father, Gang Seokjun, after hearing Moon Doyeong’s story .
‘It must’ve been a big shock . ’
Now that he thought about it again, the betrayal must’ve been a great shock to his father . Hyeonu imagined Yeongchan stabbing him in his back and felt like his vision became dark . Upon entering the hospital room, Hyeonu was in tears when he saw the skinny man . Now just looking at his father caused him to cry . His father had always been someone with a strong physique, yet he was now so skinny that the shape of his bones could be seen .
“Father . . . ” Hyeonu called out in an woeful voice .
Of course, there was no response . A person who was in a vegetative state couldn’t move . Hyeonu clutched his father’s skinny hand with both hands . Then he started to talk about what he had heard today .
“Today, I heard the story about the 30 billion won that only you know about, Father . Uncle Jung—no, Jung Cheolho was the one who did everything, wasn’t he? I didn’t know that at all . I just knew he stabbed you in the back . He was just a completely fake human being . . . ”
Hyeonu didn’t know when Gang Seokjun’s hands had started being like this, but they were dry . As he held his father’s dry hands, the water in Hyeonu’s eyes fell onto them .
“So I will surely get revenge . I won’t just take his property . Instead, I’ll totally ruin what he cherishes most . I’m going to shatter him to the point where he will never be seen again . So . . . wake up before that and stop me, Father . . . ”
Hyeonu raised a hand and rubbed both eyes . Then he stared at his father through bloodshot eyes, wanting to keep his father’s image in his heart . He didn’t know when he would see his father again .
“Then I will go for today . I hope that I can see you smiling next time, Father . ”
Hyeonu carefully closed the door of the ward and went outside without making a sound . There was a very, very weak movement in the hospital room that Hyeonu left .
Bee—eeeep!!

Upon returning home, Hyeonu didn’t wash up . He just roughly changed clothes, sat at his desk, and opened his laptop . In order to keep a promise with his deeply sleeping father, it was necessary to arrange a schedule as leisurely as possible .
‘My anger has intensified . I was too relaxed when I was doing well . ’
His sense of revenge might’ve been affected by the richness of his current life, but it didn’t matter . He was aware of it now .
‘I will send an email to Nike . ’
He would tell them that he wanted to advance the schedule . In addition, he would write roughly about the players he would recruit . The team would be set as he had told Moon Doyeong .
Sunny, Dwayne, and Yuri—it would be the three of them .
Some people might laugh . Their names might be known, but their skills weren’t verified . Weren’t they just stars? However, this was not the case . Everyone was worthy of being picked . Sunny would make up for the team having only six people while Dwayne specialized in one-on-one, and Yuri could utilize her skills that were close to perfection . Looking at their true selves, the Crescent Moon team that Hyeonu was going to build was really like a dream team .
‘It is perfect once Mason is included . ’
There was only one thing to say about Mason . Hyeonu had never seen a better magician player in New World or any large guilds .
‘But I need one more person . ’
The question was who to get to fill the remaining spot . Two magicians, one priest, and two melee classes… In terms of proportion, one more melee class was needed . It would be even better if it was a paladin . Since there was a priest, there was no better class than a paladin who had high defense and could heal themselves .
‘Who should it be?’
Hyeonu pondered on it as he wrote an email to Nike . There were no names that came to his mind .
‘I have to go to the community . ’
Eventually, Hyeonu sent the email and started to scour the Arena community . How far did he search in the Arena community? Hyeonu found an article related to a familiar name .
