Episode 157 [ In My Name (5) ]
The chairman looked at the young businessman standing next to the bed.
No matter how bad the situation was, there were definitely people outside guarding it, but they came in too easily.
However, Chairman Kim had no energy left to question such matters.
“I didn’t know you’d come this late at night.”
At the chairman’s words, Kyung-hoon glanced at the monitor attached to the bed.
Beep…beep…beep…
“Your daughter said you shouldn’t be late.”
The chairman agreed with Kyung-hoon’s words.
“Well, it was like that. “There’s no reason why day and night should matter if you don’t know when the clocks will stop.”
The chairman took a closer look at the man standing in front of him.
As you can see in the photo, he was still young and strong. An ordinary young man who would be liked by people if he smiled normally.
However, the appearance of the young man, not in the photo, was different from what he seemed.
“You are a predator just like me. “I must have eaten a lot.”
The young businessman felt like a carnivore hunting for its prey.
But Kyung-hoon shook his head.
“I am different from the Chairman. If possible, I don’t attack others first. Rather, it is closer to counterattacking when attacked. “It’s a habit I’ve always maintained since I was young.”
Kyunghoon shook his head. I didn’t come here to say this.
“Then why did you call me?”
“That was the day SG Electronics passed away. “I called you because I was curious about your smile.”
The chairman glared at Kyung-hoon’s mouth.
“Why are you laughing? Chairman Ha said that our company became like this because we lost a fight with EV, but I thought of you at that time. The loss wasn’t easy on your side either. “Did you have anything to do with these events?”
Kyung-hoon tilted his head at the chairman’s words.
“well. Even if it exists, I don’t think there’s any reason to tell you.”
The chairman frowned.
“There was some connection.”
“well.”
Kyunghoon smiled slightly. And the chairman’s heart throbbed again.
Beep beep beep.
The heart monitor is a little faster. The chairman’s face turned white.
“Should I call a doctor? “It doesn’t look good.”
The chairman shook his head.
“It’s okay. “They’ll just give you some strange potion anyway.”
“Or would you like to drink this? “It will help you get through it.”
Kyunghoon took out a potion from his pocket. It was a healing potion with a strawberry scent.
A product from the other world, not made by Jin Xiawei.
Treatment was difficult, but there was nothing better than this to sustain life.
Chairman Kim stared at the potion for a moment.
He frowned and eventually shook his head.
“Is this tolerance for losers? I still have no desire to live under the favor of others. “Put it away.”
At the Chairman’s words, Kyung-hoon put the potion in. He spoke to the chairman with a calm expression.
“It is neither tolerance nor red lines. “It was just a bit of a shame that he passed away without seeing the results properly.”
Beep beep beep beep beep.
The chairman glared at Kyung-hoon.
“Are you kidding me?”
“no. I’m serious. “I am not a person who is tolerant of my enemies.”
Next, Kyung-hoon looked into space and asked a question.
“What is the president’s remaining time?”
[I am now surviving with narcotic drugs and stamina potions. Looking at the medical records and physical condition, it seems difficult to last until morning.]
Eve’s voice rang through the room.
“That’s right. “Are you still out of your mind?”
Chairman Kim seemed to be losing his sense of reality.
The voice of the woman who was certain of her remaining lifespan was also strange, and the appearance of the young businessman speaking also looked different from before.
He clenched his fists weakly. He was the chairman of SG Group, which supports this country. I wasn’t the type of person to be swayed by words like that. He glared at Kyung-hoon.
“Stop talking nonsense. “Even if I die, I’m not one to change my words.”
Kyunghoon shrugged his shoulders. There are people whose pride is more important than life.
Unfortunately, it seemed like revenge would end today.
“Since you declined the potion, I will answer your questions instead.”
The chairman looked puzzled at Kyung-hoon’s words.
Kyunghoon continued speaking with a calm expression.
“First of all, the reason I smiled that day was because SG Electronics became my property.”
It was an unexpected statement. It was nonsense. The chairman looked at Kyung-hoon with a blank face.
“And as you said, everything that has happened to SG Group recently is related to me.”
Kyung-hoon counted down every single thing he had done so far.
“I was the one who killed the group’s awakeners during the association’s demonstration, and I was the one who damaged the awakened generator that was purchased in Japan. And as of yesterday, SG Group has also been consumed.”
Chairman Kim screamed at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“Nonsense!”
As he cried out, the graph on the heart monitor shook violently.
Beep beep beep beep beep Kyung-
hoon waved his index finger at the Chairman’s Chairman.
“It doesn’t make sense. “This is possible if I am the actual owner of those investment companies and the owner of EV.”
The chairman looked at Kyung-hoon’s shaking fingers with a mesmerized look on his face.
Blue mana was visibly flowing over Kyung-Hoon’s fingers.
When the chairman saw the light of the finger, he could understand.
It wasn’t just EV and the young businessman who lost the fight with SG Group.
He and the SG Group had become enemies with the monster that ruled the terrifying place called EV.
The chairman trembled. The temperature in the room was obviously warm, but I felt like I was getting chills.
The young businessman in front of me no longer looked like an ordinary human being.
The opponent was a monster. It seemed as if a dark shadow had spread out behind the monster.
The chairman became afraid of the monster in front of him.
The monster opened its mouth again.
“Oh, and there’s one more thing. “What I did.”
The chairman did not want to hear any more. But the monster did not stop talking.
“I was the one who killed the chairman’s son, Vice Chairman Kim Yong-shin.”
They continued to say that they were trying to kill each other, but the chairman did not hear what happened next.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.
“why! why! Didn’t I kill him! “You could have just killed them all like you killed your son!”
The chairman shouted at Kyung-hoon as if he was coughing up blood.
However, his voice gradually became quieter until Kyung-hoon could barely hear it.
-It’s no longer possible.
Kyunghoon stood up.
“Because the vice president tried to kill me. I tried to end it when the vice president died, but it ended unfortunately.”
Kyung-hoon bowed his head toward the chairman and left the room.
The chairman gasped.
“I won’t go out, just stop right there…”
The chairman closed the door. He tried to reach out, but his arm could only twitch.
The chairman continued to look at the door.
The world has become distant little by little.
bang!
The door burst open and I saw a doctor and a nurse running in.
The doctor was yelling and the nurses were rushing around.
‘portion! ‘Give me the potion!’
‘You have to tell everyone! ‘Everyone is being deceived!’
‘I can’t die like this! help me! help me!’
Chairman Kim shouted as he watched the doctors and nurses moving around busily.
But his voice could not escape his mouth.
‘Oh no… no…’
Instead, the world started to get darker little by little.
Beep… Beep…… Beep…………. Beep…………. ……………
The sound of the heart monitor gradually became slower.
*
Chairman Kim passed away early the next morning.
Unfortunately, Chairman Kim died without leaving a will.
Chairman Kim’s death and the change in ownership of SG Group once again created an uproar in Korea.
However, there was no big uproar like when SG Electronics passed.
The government was silent and the media refrained from speaking.
The parties who were supposed to protest were in a situation where they were finished. It wasn’t time to start a fight yet.
People watched with wide eyes to see how the new occupying force would behave.

Looking at the people gathered in the conference room, James sighed.
Everyone flinched when James sighed.
Seeing that scene, James couldn’t help but sigh inwardly again.
Seeing older men tremble with anxiety reminded me of my own past.
He himself was so anxious that he was cut off.
He glanced at the folder in front of him. The SG Group report was included.
It was a report that compiled all previous performance and unknown internal information.
According to this data, half of the presidents here could be cut off.
‘Once again, I don’t know where they got this information.’
Every time James received this kind of data, he couldn’t help but grow tired of EV’s information power.
I had no intention of betraying him, but honestly, I wasn’t confident that I would survive by betraying EV.
‘Well, there are more than one or two places that got destroyed due to a pointless fight.’
It was no different for SG Group.
James did not open the folder. Fortunately, I didn’t have to use it this time.
“As you know, our investment group does not make investments to interfere with management.”
The CEOs of SG Group slightly turned their heads at the sound delivered by the interpreter.
‘What about SG Electronics?’
But they couldn’t bring themselves to say it.
An interpreter continued to relay James’ words.
“Nothing will change from what I tell you. All you have to do is do your best for the company in your respective positions. “Our investment group plans to renew the contract based on its performance.”
Nothing will change. If this were the case, there was no way it would be the same.
Some presidents’ expressions turned dark, while others became brighter.
After the CEO change, SG Electronics’ performance evaluation was famous for being transparent and accurate. There were a lot of people saying that recognition had disappeared, but there were a lot more people who liked it.
Still, the atmosphere in the conference room was much better than before.
This was because the occupying forces were no longer wielding swords.
“Instructions regarding linkages between companies and strategic business establishment will be provided separately via email. SG Electronics has now become a member of the group again, so you can carry on as before.”
James, who had said that much, took a deep breath.
What I was going to say from now on was real.
“And I’m thinking of changing the group name.”
The bosses nodded at his words.
Changing the group’s name wasn’t easy, but there was no reason to keep it the same when the owner had changed.
Everyone looked at James’ mouth.
James opened his mouth.
“The new name of the group is EV Group.”
Flash!
People looked like they had been struck by lightning.

[The world over there must be in chaos right now? Is it okay to turn the world upside down and run away like this?]
Kyung-hoon shrugged his shoulders at Eve’s words.
“All the important work is done. Everyone will handle the remaining matters well. “It’s noisy for a day or two.”
[Anyway…]
Eve sighed at Kyung-hoon’s answer.
“We’re getting along well today too.”
A robot intervened in their conversation.
[Did it look like that?]
“Haha, I guess I should move now.”
The robot spoke. He raised his hand and pointed back.
The place where they are standing is Sajik Stadium in Busan.
On the arena floor behind the robot, a huge pattern was sprinkling light.
The portal is ready.
