#152. invitation.
“Is there any alcohol here?”
“…at least not in my cafe.”
“Hmm, then, at least make some strong coffee. Wouldn’t it be rude if a guest came and didn’t serve anything?”
“Do you think it’s quite rude to greet guests with that attitude?”
“I will take care of that case, so President Jung should do what he has to do.”
“Um, I see.”
“Ah senior. I only have one cup of Americano…”
“You burn yourself and eat it, you bastard!”
“….”
An ambitious broadcasting PD.
A watcher disguised as a cafe employee.
An assaulter with a bloody atmosphere.
…Unfortunately, there was none.
There were only cafe owners who worked hard to deliver coffee, and PDs from small broadcasting stations who shrank after hearing what the boss said.
Yeon-hwa was at a loss as to why she was so nervous about coming to this place.
It was Limon’s carefree voice that brought her to reality.
“I’m sorry about that. Maybe it’s the first time they’ve been in a place like this, because they’re not prepared well.”
‘I think that’s the same for you too?’
A dark-haired young man with his feet on the table, far from greeting the customer who greeted him, his attitude towards humans was bad.
Yeon-hwa looked at him and swallowed the words that had come out of her throat.
Because it was instinctively intuitive.
That this cheeky young man was the one who sent Moon Cheon-yeop to the hospital and called him out.
“Since I apologized, can we get right to the point?”
“You’re pretty impatient, aren’t you?”
“It’s really urgent.”
In order not to get caught up in the atmosphere, Yeon-hwa said clearly.
Then he looked straight at Limon and spoke.
“First, I have a few questions for you.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why did you think I would accept your offer?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
Limon smiled brightly and replied casually.
“Isn’t it possible for a singer’s manager to become famous by being called the real power of the guild only if he has a direct connection with Midas?”
“What does that matter? Anyway, the whole WIM guild sees the benefit.”
“Instead, your power as the guild leader must have been reduced by that much. That bastard would have acted as if he were the owner.”
“…”
“And nine out of ten bosses I know are creatures who can’t stand being alienated from power more than the benefit of the organization.”
Yeonhwa remained silent.
It wasn’t just about getting hit.
It was because of Limon’s insight that he pinpointed the subtle power structure between himself and Mun Chun-yeop that only WIM insiders knew about.
‘How can a young person create such an atmosphere?’
From the outside, he only looks like a cheeky young man in his 20s.
It’s different from the cunning politician.
Different from old hunters and beasts.
It was a while to look at Limon, who had an indescribably subtle atmosphere, with eyes that he could not understand.
Yeonhwa opened her mouth after silence.
“great. Then tell me how you plan to get rid of Chief Moon.”
“hmm? Are the questions over already?”
“I knew you weren’t the type to talk nonsense, so that’s okay.”
“It’s nice that it’s cool.”
It seems like it would be nice to be able to skip the annoying questions and answers.
Limon nodded and continued talking while sipping the coffee President Jeong had served.
“Well, not in a very great way. 그 개새끼가 인사불성이 된 사이에 네가 그 빈자리를 꿰차면 그만이라는 거지.”
“…Did you bring me here just to tell you how to do that?”
“Why do you think you can’t?”
“If that was possible, I would have gotten rid of Mr. Moon a long time ago. But even because of Claire, that’s impossible.”
Yeonhwa could not hide her disappointment.
Claire, a duke-level player in her 80s and a popular singer.
She is a representative star of WIM, and it was thanks to her that Moon Chun-yeop was able to establish a close relationship with the Midas Guild.
That’s why it was difficult for Claire to intervene in Moon Chun-yeop’s connection with Midas unless she changed her mind.
“Why is that a problem?”
“You mean I just need to convince Claire? It’s a pity, but that’s…”
“No, that’s why I’m clinging to that girl who is called Claire or Clear.”
“yes?”
Limon said calmly to Yeon-hwa, who was puzzled by the unexpected words.
“결국 중요한 건 네가 미다스 길드에 그 개새끼보다 득을 줄 수 있는지잖냐.”
“…If you give Midas profits that exceed Mr. Moon’s wearing Claire? Excluding Claire?”
“That’s what you’re talking about.”
“Are you saying you know how absurd that is?”
Yeonhwa lost her senses.
Whether as a singer or as a player.
Claire was the pillar of WIM, responsible for more than half of the guild’s total sales alone.
It was all the more so considering its popularity and influence.
But is it enough to win her over and monopolize Midas’ connection?
It was difficult to make a double ledger and steal all of WIM’s sales, and of course, Yeon-hwa did not want to do that.
But Limon hadn’t summoned her without thinking.
“Don’t worry, PD Kim is here to solve that.”
“yes? You mean that?”
Kim Seung-joon is embarrassed because he was suddenly pointed out while only looking at him from the side.
Limon gave him a meaningful smile.
“Didn’t PD Kim say you were preparing for a program right now?”
“A [music challenge]?”
“Okay, let me use that.”
“Are you saying you want to appear on my program!?”
“No, I will just use it.”
“yes?”
At Limon’s words, who had been ignoring his request for recruitment, Kim Seung-joon forgot the situation and looked at him with a bewildered expression.
To Kim Seung-jun and Yeon-hwa, who were so puzzled, Limon calmly explained how he would use the program.
hesitantly at first.
Confused the next time.
After that, it seems to be terrifying.
Yeon-hwa, whose expression changed in succession, smiled and asked as soon as Limon finished talking.
“Do you really think that crazy plan is possible?”
“Of course?”
Yeon-hwa, who was so confident that she gave an expression without conscience, made her look like she was looking at a madman.
Limon smiled at her and looked away.
“Does my plan sound so absurd to you, PD Kim?”
“I am…”
Unlike Yeonhwa, who laughed at the moment she heard it, Seungjun Kim, who was deeply troubled with a serious expression, answered after thinking for a long time.
“I think there is a possibility.”
“Are you serious? If something goes wrong, your PD life could end?”
“It doesn’t matter. If we don’t do anything anyway, our broadcasting station’s life will end.”
“I wonder if this is full of ambition or recklessness.”
Yeonhwa frowned.
If Limon says something like this by himself, just dismiss it as nonsense.
It was because there were so many newbies suffering from delusions of grandeur that their confidence was skyrocketing in this industry.
However, no matter how small the cable is, Kim Seung-joon is a PD of a broadcasting company. He was not an idiot who could not distinguish the baseless confidence of a beginner.
‘Come to think of it, this man was the person Director Moon was trying to sign.’
Although she has many problems with her personality, Moon Cheon-yeop is the one who picked and raised Claire.
One eye was sure.
Of course, it was the power of a unique skill.
Anyway, what if Mun Chun-yeop was a musician who tried to sign a contract with threats because he didn’t have enough time to go to places like this until the threshold was worn out?
At the same time, if you are a high-level player enough to destroy Moon Chun-yeop…
“What are you so worried about? Even if I fail anyway, there will be nothing to lose.”
“…It’s definitely as you say.”
Yeonhwa nodded.
Compared to Kim Seung-jun, who had to risk his life as a PD, or Limon, who could comb through friction with Midas, the risk she had to take was extremely minimal.
Nevertheless, instead of making a decision right away, Yeon-hwa looked at Limon gently.
“Sorry to say the question is over, but I have one last question.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why are you doing this?”
Seungjun Kim can understand.
If we leave Moon Cheon-yeop alone, it could be difficult, but if he succeeds, it will be an opportunity for a one-step turnaround.
The same goes for Yeonhwa herself.
If you can beat Moon Cheon-yeop and intervene in the connection with Midas, you can take control of WIM again.
What I didn’t know was Limon.
“I know that Chief Moon tried to play tricks on you, but that doesn’t mean he’s harbored a grudge that’s deep enough to do this, right?”
If he really had that kind of ability, he might be able to solve this a little more smoothly.
But why are you trying to grow your work by attracting yourself?
Yeon-hwa asks with doubt.
Limon said calmly to her.
“Because I realized something anew recently.”
“What?”
“When a bastard is beaten, it must be done so thoroughly that not only the dog but also the dog owner cannot dare to step out.”
“…”
Limon slowly raised one hand.
Then, while stroking the head of the bluebird sitting on his shoulder, he continued talking quietly.
“Otherwise, a strict person could get hurt.”
Dogs baring their teeth.
The dog owner ran amok instead of the dog.
It’s because everyone looks easy if you use your hands clumsily.
So, even if Mun Chun-yeop tries to stick to him again, Midas will definitely try to knock him out.
It’s calm and calm, so I’m going to listen to limon’s words that sound more creepy and stay silent for a while.
Yeonhwa quietly opened her mouth.
“How long can you prepare for that program?”
It was the moment when the collusion to drive a nail into Moon Chun-yeop’s coffin began.
* * *
“Did something like that happen to the swordsman?”
“yes.”
Li Qingyu soon found out about Limon’s plotting.
In the first place, not only was Yeo-in telling him about Mun Cheon-yeop, but Limon also briefly told him about the work he was planning.
“I’m a little sorry.”
“Did you mean the swordsmith had a conflict with Midas?”
“No, you didn’t ask me to solve it.”
Li Qingyu shook his head.
And he spoke with a grin on his face.
“If you had just said one word to me, I could have dealt with that man named Moon Cheon-yeop without leaving a trace.”
“That is definitely regrettable. It’s true that the kids at Ammildae don’t have enough practice these days.”
“Obsidian girdle would have been better to keep it clean. First of all, the teenage guilds are also entangled.”
“It is as you say.”
If Mun Chun-yeop had heard of it, he would have been very curious about what and how to clean it up.
But Li Qingyu didn’t care about such trifles at all.
He was just muttering to himself.
“Anyway, that’s fine.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There was a problem I was worried about, but I don’t think I need to worry anymore.”
Li Qingyu smiled.
I was wondering what to do with Limon, but since he did it on his own, there was no need to hold back.
Immediately taking out a piece of stationery, she picked up a fan and wrote a series of letters like flowing water.
Then, after sealing the neatly folded letter with wax and stamping it, he presented it to Youin along with the box he had prepared in advance.
“Would you like to send this letter to her?”
“…can you see the purpose of the letter?”
“There is no need to be particularly formal or deliberately secret. It is just an invitation.”
“Are you talking about invitations?”
Youin made a strange expression.
As befits the general manager of Leviathan, he could calmly handle any assassination order.
Still, there is one reason to be shaken.
It was because of the address written on the letter.
“Do you think he will accept the invitation?”
“I will.”
Li Qingyu cut it short.
In the past, I wouldn’t have been so confident.
Although she is the princess who rules one axis of the Seven Dragons, the same was true of the recipient of this letter.
Nevertheless, as he spoke with confidence, Li Qingyu smiled meaningfully.
“I don’t know if it’s any other princess, but if it’s her, definitely.”
However, the premise is that you must not run away in advance.
