I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 138

The red dots moved like warships and entered the Taiwan Strait.

At that moment, something amazing happened in the strait.

‘Blue dots?’

Blue dots appeared and rushed toward the red dots.

‘I can think of them as Taiwan’s navy. That would make the movements fit perfectly.’

From the blue dots that had approached to some degree, smaller blue dots were launched.

Those dots flew precisely toward the red dots.

The Chinese warships also responded.

They launched smaller red dots and shot them down above the strait’s airspace.

As the two dots met and soon disappeared, it seemed like missiles were fired and intercepted.

‘This is the beginning of war.’

The moment that thought occurred.

Missiles were launched from mainland China.

This time, instead of dots, red light took the form of missiles and flew toward Taiwan’s mainland.

Blue missiles were likewise launched from Taiwan’s mainland.

They were intercepted in mid-air, successfully defending.

‘A real war is happening on this screen. The power of light is showing me the future.’

As if this was what would happen in the future, it showed the aspects of war.

‘Taiwan’s military power is at a decent level. But blocking China’s naval power is too much.’

As the actual war progressed, Taiwan quickly began to be pushed back.

But the fortunate thing was that the United States would join the war.

‘Is that gray light America’s naval forces? Certainly, with their participation, the situation changes.’

There were predictions that America wouldn’t join the war, but it didn’t seem to flow in such a disastrous direction.

But something unexpected happened.

‘Huh? Why are red dots moving inside Taiwan’s mainland?’

They were red dots smaller in size than warships.

At first, I thought I might have seen wrong, but they were definitely moving.

They moved to Taipei, Taiwan’s capital, and soon stormed into the Presidential Office.

They attacked the gray dot inside, and soon intense red light exploded.

It was light so intense I had to close my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, the Presidential Office had disappeared.

‘What that means is…’

There was nothing to organize in my thoughts.

What that meant was one thing.

At that moment.

Drip drip-!

I felt something hot flowing from my nose.

When I raised my hand to quickly block my nose, hot blood flowed down along my hand.

“Damn…!”

Only then did I realize that my nose was bleeding.

When I lowered my head, a lot of blood was already soaking my knees.

Kang Hyeon, who hurriedly came to his senses, wiped the blood with tissues placed next to the monitor.

While doing so, he checked the screen, but the map had already returned to its original state.

But one thing was certain.

“War is unavoidable. And…”

The disappearance of the gray dot he saw at the end.

What that meant was one thing.

“President Wei Zhun will be assassinated.”

Kang Hyeon’s expression became serious after seeing his death.

He had seen the future.

The aftermath was considerable.

The next day.

He couldn’t get up properly.

‘Controlling my ability at will isn’t an easy task.’

He had lost too much blood.

He went through all kinds of trouble cleaning it up.

He thought about leaving it to the working aunt, but soon shook his head.

‘If the blood pooled on the floor becomes known to outsiders, all kinds of strange rumors will spread.’

The first thing that came to mind was an article about terminal illness.

He didn’t want to be plagued by such strange rumors.

So he gritted his teeth, wiped all the blood, and lay down on the bed.

Thanks to that, when he woke up, it was past 11 o’clock.

Of course, his phone was in chaos.

[57 missed calls]

In just a few hours, countless missed calls had accumulated.

Most were calls from the secretary’s office or security office.

There was also a call from Kwangho.

He probably heard from the secretaries.

“I need to return the calls first.”

He first called the secretaries and security team who would be worried about him.

-Chairman!!

-Are you okay?!

-Are you alright?

As soon as he answered the phone, they worried about him first.

Kang Hyeon said he was fine, that he overslept because fatigue had accumulated, and told them he would rest today.

The chairman taking a day off was impossible, but they soon understood.

Kang Hyeon had been working without rest all this time.

They thought it was okay for him to rest for about a day.

After informing the employees of the situation, Kang Hyeon called Kwangho.

-Hey, are you okay?

“Yeah, you didn’t seem too worried even when I didn’t answer the phone?”

-Well, I thought you probably overslept or something. I called because Ha-ryul kept nagging me.

“Haha, really?”

Conversations with his friend always made his heart comfortable.

Feeling his aching head being healed, Kang Hyeon continued various conversations.

-So when are you planning to go to work?

“I’m thinking of resting today. I have things to organize in my thoughts too.”

-Do you have some worries?

“If you found out about something you couldn’t control, what would you do?”

-Something I can’t control? But do I have to invest in it?

“Well, something like that.”

Kwangho on the other end of the phone continued in silence for a moment, then spoke.

-I think I’d fold?

“Even if the expected returns were high?”

-That means the risk is also big on the flip side. Plus, it’s too much for me to control.

“That’s right.”

-For a trader, not being able to control means the market uncertainty has increased. You and I both know that in such markets, it’s actually better to fold investments.

There’s a common misconception most people have when they first start trading.

They think they know the market.

They think they can control everything.

You learn through market experience that such thoughts are nothing but illusions.

The market is like a massive wave.

Traders can only entrust themselves to the flow of that wave.

-We don’t predict prices, we predict the flow. We can’t know how high it will go. So when uncertainty increases, watching the market from the sidelines is beneficial in the long run.

You could call it conservative.

But that was exactly the way to survive for a long time.

Trading wasn’t about hitting it big overnight and being done.

Of course, there were people like that.

There were 7 billion people in the world, and among them were those who struck it big.

There were people who made enough money from a single trade to retire for life.

But most people either lost money or made small profits.

In other words, they had to keep trading.

“I guess I was being too impatient.”

-Correct. You’ve been making successful trades so far, so you could get intoxicated by that. But when there’s risk, it’s better to clearly take a break from trading.

As a fellow trader and friend, Kwangho advised.

Hearing his words, Kang Hyeon made up his mind.

“Thanks for the advice.”

-Don’t mention it. Get some good rest today and let’s talk tomorrow.

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Kang Hyeon sat up.

His head was a bit dizzy, but not enough to collapse.

“I’m resetting all plans.”

He needed to establish new plans.

The next day.

While going to the office, Kang Hyeon called in the logistics representative.

Thanks to this, not long after arriving at the office, President Han Seung-hyeon, the logistics representative, arrived.

“Chairman, it’s been a while.”

“Please come in, President Han. Have a seat.”

“Yes.”

President Han Seung-hyeon looked like he was facing the grim reaper.

It was understandable since the group’s chairman had suddenly summoned him, so being nervous was natural.

To such Han Seung-hyeon, Kang Hyeon brought up the main point.

“Logistics’ expansion into Taiwan will be postponed for the time being.”

“Excuse me? Postponed?”

“Yes. There are unstable factors, so I think we need to observe the situation for now.”

“Un… unstable factors, may I ask what aspects are concerning you?”

Since he expected President Han Seung-hyeon would ask such a question, he had prepared an answer to some extent.

After much consideration, he thought it would be fine to tell him the truth.

“It seems China is preparing to invade Taiwan.”

“What?!”

President Han Seung-hyeon was shocked.

It was understandable because the fear that the word ‘war’ carried was tremendous.

Moreover, when it was the group’s chairman who spoke those words, the weight was entirely different.

“Is… is that really true?”

“Yes. There’s information that China has started stockpiling supplies. If war really breaks out, there’s a high possibility it won’t end overnight. Above all.”

Kang Hyeon’s expression became more serious than ever.

“We cannot put our employees in danger.”

At his words, President Han Seung-hyeon also nodded.

Expanding new business into a region where the risk of war had increased would be negative for both employee safety and business security.

Knowing this, he agreed with Kang Hyeon’s words.

“Understood. Then I’ll suspend Taiwan-related projects for now. But it’s unfortunate – the team planned for this was passionate about Taiwan business expansion.”

Knowing this as well, Kang Hyeon thought of another method.

“How about redirecting that team to India expansion?”

“To India?”

“Yes. Logistics was planning to expand into India anyway. Starting with Project Navadaya currently under construction, we planned to expand throughout India.”

“Oh…! That’s a good idea. If we start preparing now, we can be thoroughly prepared by the time Navadaya is completed.”

“Yes. Above all, it would be a shame to disband such a capable team.”

“Understood. Then I’ll prepare them to change direction.”

“Please do.”

“Yes!”

After President Han Seung-hyeon left.

Left alone, Kang Hyeon silently looked out the window.

‘This settles our company’s internal matters for now. But is it really okay to end it like this?’

He had learned about the war.

And he also knew what China’s strategy was.

‘China is planning to assassinate only President Wei Zhun, using the United States’ Venezuela invasion operation as a motif.’

Looking at their military movements, their intention was clear.

After assassinating President Wei Zhun, he didn’t know how they would move.

But it seemed they planned to end the war by assassinating him.

‘The problem is I can’t inform others about this fact. Even if I did, problems would surely arise.’

It was information learned through supernatural powers.

Where could he report this?

‘Still, shouldn’t I inform President Wei Zhun?’

President Wei Zhun would lose his life in this incident.

If the person who had helped him lost his life, he couldn’t help but feel concerned.

The problem was what would happen if he informed him and it actually occurred.

‘If he asks how I knew such information, what would I answer?’

There was no clear way to answer that.

He couldn’t say he learned it through supernatural powers, could he?

Wavering over this problem, Kang Hyeon eventually sighed.

“Still, human life is important.”

Kang Hyeon picked up the phone.

And he called President Wei Zhun’s personal number that he had met in Taiwan recently.

After several rings, a familiar voice was heard.

-Chairman Choi, calling me directly. What’s the occasion?

“Have you been well? President.”

-Haha, I’ve been doing well thanks to you. So what’s the matter?

At the President’s question, Kang Hyeon hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“President. Can I trust the security of this call?”

The die had been cast.
