The legend of regression,
chapter 290. New York party (1)
“Suck! He looks like a goddamn Robert Ryan! A party on such a messy day… Fuck you!”
Inside the limousine, Krauman Falton, the owner of the Falton Hotel, spat out swear words.
The aftermath of subprime on the US economy has spread to the world like an epidemic.
Immediately, the number of travelers plummeted.
The Falton Group, whose main business is luxury hotels, was particularly badly hit.
The hotel chain’s room occupancy was less than 30 percent.
It was pushed to the break-even point.
The stock price fluctuated and I learned that private equity fund Unions had additionally bought more shares.
Crowman, who was hoarding money to get back his Falton stock, fell into a sense of collapse.
Directors dispatched from Unions were in charge of hotel management.
And I watched this and that and flew a check ball.
Compared to the past, Krauman’s organizational dominance has clearly declined.
Executives and employees openly rejected Krauman’s unreasonable instructions.
It seemed that he had been degraded from a company manager to a mere director.
There was a fire, but there was no other way.
I was grateful now just for not going bankrupt right away.
Every day, Wall Street investment firms and companies went bankrupt.
Rumors circulated that even the big three automakers that support the American industry had run out of spare funds.
In the meantime, Robert Ryan’s party is held.
I flew to New York by private plane from McLean, Virginia.
It’s like being a dog wagging its tail.
If Robert Ryan, who owned a significant stake in Unions, was fired, he would have been kicked out of the company.
I was furious like crazy.
“…It looks like everything is here.”
“all? Are you still on the road?”
“That’s… the cars were pushed.”
The driver replied in bewilderment.
“Pushed?”
“I think you should go on foot.”
“what! You want me to walk?”
A mansion in the Hamptons, Long Island, New York’s most affluent town, favored by the rich in America.
Cars were parked on the side of the road.
There was still a long way to go to Robert Ryan’s mansion.
But the cars were almost parked close to the roadside, so I couldn’t move.
“Oh no…”
Crowman groaned.
Other than himself, there were not one or two celebrities who parked their cars behind and started walking.
The sassy New York cops took control of the vehicle.
It seemed that the mayor of New York also came.
I realized the prestige of Robert Ryan.
Even when Crowman was doing well, it wasn’t like this.
“The country boy… has succeeded. Shit…”
Despite the intensity of the curse, his momentum diminished.
In fact, I didn’t even get an invitation.
Rumors circulated quietly in the social world that Robert Ryan was planning to throw a party.
Robert’s message that all qualified people are welcome.
Celebrities flocked to New York by private plane from all over the United States.
It was obvious that the majority of hedge fund managers and financial figures based in New York would attend.
In addition, it was certain that celebrities and politicians would come.
Crowman got out of the car, adjusting his clothes.
Robert Ryan, who dares not do anything on his own line now.
Contrary to the appearance of swearing, Crauman had a friendly smile on his face the moment he got out of the car.
“I see you from here, Mr. Krauman.”
“oh! Tori~ What are you doing here?”
“I came here because I heard there was a great party today. It’s the neighbor’s party, so I thought it would be polite to attend.”
Tori Vicky, the designer and CEO of Tori Bus, a world-renowned designer.
This year, in her early 40s, she boasted a slim body and beauty worthy of a representative of a luxury brand.
Crowman smiled broadly.
It was a sudden meeting with a beautiful designer whom he only knew.
The bodyguards stood behind them, but they didn’t care.
“haha. I also came to attend the party and it went well. Let’s go together~”
Krauman held out his left arm.
“Hey~ It’s an honor~.”
Tori Vicky responded with a smile without hesitation and put her hand on Krauman’s arm.
She, who had been competing, was now in a state of shrinking inwardly.
It was a party to which invitations were not issued, but tens of thousands of celebrities now flocked to hundreds.
Even the charity party hosted by the president was not like this.
“Hey~ Jennifer~.”
“Lux~.”
Those who moved on foot from all over the place tasted a novel experience.
People who became prey for the paparazzi just by appearing were scattered on the roadside.
And they walked towards one place as if they had promised.
The sound of the waves sounds great and the mansion is brightly lit.
Already there was the sound of soft music.
It made the hearts of celebrities who like meeting new people beat.

“Robert… I can’t really dry it~”
He shook his head looking out the window from his room on the third floor.
Robert Ryan is also an extraordinary man.
I recently heard that you are going to buy a nice vacation home.
He said it was a good price.
What are you going to do to save the extra money?
He gave permission to buy the villa he liked.
Robert bought a Hamptons mansion in New York for $70 million before permission was given.
Five American villas, including wineries, have been passed over.
the house killed
The blue sea of the Atlantic Ocean and Mortius Bay were visible, and there was a clean sandy beach right in front of the mansion.
The site was about 20,000 pyeong and the building was about 1,000 pyeong.
The well-kept gardens with tennis courts, swimming pools and promenades left me speechless.
Even in the United States, the mansion where the top 0.1% resided drew admiration.
It is perfectly equipped with everything that anyone who is rich can dream of once.
There is even a saying among the rich in New York that if you don’t have a villa in the Hamptons, don’t give out your business card.
“The house… I really envy you.”
My house in Seoul was like a bodyguard’s quarters.
The 20 rooms and the same number of toilets were arched in the form of medieval arches.
A large fireplace was located on the first floor, and the spacious hall was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
The castle in the other world was like a doghouse compared to this one.
The view of the sea through the wide glass window made me feel emotional.
The furniture was an expensive item that was difficult to set a price for at a glance.
The artworks and decorative sculptures hanging on the walls were also the works of well-known artists.
Of course, it didn’t fill my eyes.
I’m thinking of drawing a few pieces when I have time after the party.
Looking at the cool sea, a wonderful composition kept coming to my mind.
Tiriring Tiririri~♫.
A band the size of a small orchestra played music.
“A lot of people gathered~”
The party was held freely on the lawn in front of the mansion.
Wine and simple snacks were set on dozens of white tables.
It was on a different level from the party I tasted in France.
It was a scene to witness the great power that money gives.
Hundreds of men and women in suits were holding glasses and chatting in groups of twos and threes.
New York celebrities diligently exploring each other with smiles on their lips and eyes.
Looking down at them from the third floor, I also drank wine.
Dressed up appropriately for the party.
While shopping on the streets of New York, she also bought clothes and accessories for Do-hee Do-hee and Han-byeol Kim.
I scratched some cards with the feeling of giving a gift to the daughters who followed their father.
The limitless black card showed its power properly.
They immediately transformed into sophisticated New Yorkers.
Do-hee, yes, but Kim Han-byeol didn’t come with a style either.
All through the shopping, men openly sent envying glances.
I arrived at the villa after shopping in New York.
The two women finally screamed and said they liked it.
smart.
“yes~.”
“I’m the boss.”
“Come in.”
Robert, the host of today’s party, opened the door and came in.
“I think we are almost there.”
“I heard you didn’t even send an invitation, but everyone came on their own.”
“Thanks to the boss~”
laughs Robert.
Robert’s strength is my strength.
Celebrities voluntarily came to the secret party without an invitation.
Even when I looked around, I could see American stars I knew only by their faces.
“Isn’t the part large?”
“It’s the stage for Boss’s American socialites. If I am negligent, I am incompetent.”
Robert was always the best.
“Thank you.”
He is a lord who holds the title of count.
It didn’t seem like a bad thing to experience something like this for the future.
“You can enjoy it without any pressure. All identities have been identified. Those who did not deserve it were sent back.”
Police patrolled the perimeter of the mansion.
Dozens of bodyguards were also stationed throughout the mansion.
A few were filtered out at the entrance and sent away.
It was a rare guard in Korea.
“Can I just drink?”
“of course.”
Today’s party began with Robert’s consideration to experience American high society.
Robert was more attentive than he seemed.
“It’s okay to go on dates with the women you like.”
“…You know that’s impossible, don’t you?”
I came with Dohee Do and Hanbyeol Kim.
They weren’t my lovers, but they weren’t polite.
If you flirt with another woman over the women you accompanied to the party, that is a real prostitute.
“That’s why I didn’t invite my lover today.”
Robert grins.
Robert smelled like brother Nova.
Robert, who is not married, is free.
There are probably hundreds of beauties he would embrace if he stretched out his hand.
I was not envious.
It was enough to taste the American high-class party with Do-hee and Kim Han-byul.
“Go down. Wine with a group tastes better than wine drunk alone.”
“Right~.”
Do-hee Do-hee and Han-byeol Kim were already at the party.
Young men quickly gathered around Do Do-hee and Kim Han-byul.
They were striking beauties.
It lacked the airiness and richness of blonde beauties, but the arrogant charm of Korean beauties was exuded.
Kim Hanbyul was also laughing and talking.
Because she was a guide, she had no fear of strangers.
Conversation was also a skill.
The future of Kim Han-byul, who will be in charge of the relief part, was expected.
“Robert.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
“What are you talking about. I came running right away when I heard you were having a party. But what happened all of a sudden? Surely it’s not a wedding announcement?”
“I’m bored~.”
“What~ Fuhahaha.”
When Robert went down, people gathered around him like bees.
He burst into laughter at Robert’s nonsensical words.
It was one of the luxuries that only the powerful could enjoy.
He glanced at Robert.
It means spending time alone.
We held a party, but this was not our debut stage today.
I wanted to live quietly without revealing my identity.
With a smile on her face, she walked around the party with a glass of wine.
The sweet music flowing all over the wide lawn tickled my ears.
There were not many Asians among the hundreds of American upper-class people dressed in suits.
They looked at me curiously.
It was a little different from how I looked at Do-hee and Kim Han-byul.
It was a look of suspicion and curiosity.
If you enter the party without being filtered at the entrance, it means that you will be recognized.
She straightened her shoulders and smiled on her lips as she moved toward the view of the beach.
Chats broke out everywhere.
A kind of business meeting place, not a real party.
The dry tannin taste was bitter and wet the throat.
Whirling.
A cool breeze from the Atlantic Ocean was blowing.
The New York seaside wind toward October was neither too cold nor too hot.
And…
“I didn’t expect to meet you here…”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
I quickly turned my head.
“!!!”
