I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 158
[Breaking News: President Goldwin announces imminent breakthrough in peace negotiations with Iran!]
[Middle East war gains momentum through China’s mediation. Will Goldwin find a dramatic breakthrough amid crisis?]
White House Briefing Room, Washington D.C.
Goldwin, who had been driven to the brink by House impeachment just days ago, stood at the podium with a bright smile.
“Great American people. Finally, I can see the end of this long, dark tunnel.”
His hand gripping the microphone held strong conviction and arrogant composure.
Chairman Zhao Qian had thoroughly hidden behind the scenes, erasing all traces.
Instead, the Iranian leadership, whose leash he held, suddenly hinted at a ceasefire and stepped back.
All the credit was transformed into belonging solely to the American President, Goldwin.
“My persistent persuasion and unwavering pressure have finally borne the fruit of peace!”
Shameless and disgusting lies filled the briefing room.
The effect was immediate and extremely powerful.
[A president who ended a war cannot be impeached. Sympathy rapidly spreading within the Senate.]
[Republican Senate leadership shows signs of changing stance, calling ‘impeachment an act against national interest.’]
A dirty secret deal made with an enemy nation to survive.
With that ugly truth concealed, Goldwin was magnificently resurrecting as an apostle of peace once again.
“Absolutely disgusting.”
KH Group Headquarters, Seoul.
Kang Hyeon stared at the large monitor with coldly hardened eyes.
A strange light flickered over Goldwin’s triumphant smile on the screen.
‘What a pathetic sight, desperately trying to suppress the blue light of destruction.’
A very thin and faint red light created by false peace.
But underneath, the gutter-like black and blue lights were still rotting away.
Buzz- Buzz-
As if timed perfectly, an urgent call from Aiden Davis came through.
-Mister Choi! The situation is going to absolute shit.
“Have those Senate bastards started clinging to the old man’s coattails again?”
-Yes. Now that they have the justification of a peace agreement, they’re all hesitating about the impeachment vote.
Aiden’s voice over the receiver cracked with extreme anxiety.
The prey they had almost caught was trying to tear through the net and escape before their eyes.
-Isn’t it obvious why China suddenly tightened Iran’s leash? The old man definitely sold out the country to Zhao Qian!
“I know. A cornered rat has dragged a viper into the room.”
Despite Aiden’s desperate plea, Kang Hyeon’s voice was ice-cold.
-If the Senate vote fails like this, everything will be over. Isn’t there something we can do!
Kang Hyeon lightly tapped the desk with his fingers.
The cruelty of a massive predator ready to overturn the board flashed in his eyes.
“Congressman. If the rat dragged in a viper, we just need to burn down the entire snake den.”
-What? What do you mean…?
“I’ll step in personally. I’ll clean up Washington’s trash very thoroughly.”
Kang Hyeon hung up decisively and immediately called for Ha-ryul.
It was time for the massive guillotine of capital and power that would overturn the board to finally move.
“Ha-ryul Manager. Contact Black Bird immediately.”
Kang Hyeon gave a chilling order to Ha-ryul who entered the office.
“Black Bird, you mean?”
“Yes. This time it’s not small change. Tell them I’ll give them a blank check if necessary, so turn up every speaker in the world until they burst.”
The target was clear. The dirty deal between Goldwin and Zhao Qian.
“We have data tracking the money flows of Chinese state enterprises including Jinhua Shipping, right?”
“Of course. We’ve perfectly secured the bypass routes of illegal funds that flowed to Iran.”
A cruel smile spread across Kang Hyeon’s lips.
“Hand all that data over to Black Bird. And also release the White House secret communication records we extracted from Iron Shield.”
“Even the White House communication records?”
When they had swallowed the mercenary company Iron Shield whole through a hostile M&A.
Kang Hyeon hadn’t just taken management rights, but had also gotten his hands on all the secret data lines between the Department of Defense and the White House.
“Evidence that the President secretly tried to lift economic sanctions on China in exchange for Iran sanctions. That alone will turn all of America upside down.”
Not simple allegations, but perfect fact-bombing with irrefutable evidence.
It was a terrible carpet bombing combining massive capital and top-grade intelligence.
“A traitor who sold America’s security through secret deals with enemy nations. That will be Goldwin’s final name.”
Ha-ryul felt his spine chill as he urgently bowed his head.
“I’ll immediately distribute it to media worldwide.”
Just half a day.
The false peace sandcastle that Goldwin had built was utterly destroyed.
[NYT Exclusive: Goldwin’s peace agreement turns out to be treacherous deal with China?]
[Fox News: White House secret communication records leaked! Evidence of collusion with China discovered in exchange for lifting Iran sanctions!]
[President who sold out America. Republican Senate leadership calls for comprehensive special investigation!]
The world was literally turned upside down.
The evidence materials that Black Bird had released were too perfect and lethal.
This wasn’t simple war responsibility. This was clear treason and treacherous acts.
“Wh-what the hell is this…?”
Oval Office, White House.
The smartphone dropped helplessly from Goldwin’s hand.
The anchors on screen were foaming at the mouth, savagely tearing into him.
The media that had praised him as an apostle of peace had instantly transformed into executioners.
“How did this information leak! Call the intelligence director right now!”
He howled like a beast with veins bulging in his neck.
But the office door remained firmly closed and wouldn’t open.
Even the secretaries and the agents who had been guarding him outside maintained cold silence.
Even the Republican senators called his inner circle had already completely abandoned him.
Ding.
The smartphone that had fallen to the floor with a cracked screen briefly chimed.
It was a cold notification message from the Senate majority leader who had barely been defending him with sympathy.
[Your Excellency. The Republican Party does not protect traitors. The Senate vote will adopt support as party policy.]
“Ahh…”
Even the last remaining rotten rope was completely severed.
Goldwin, whose legs gave out, collapsed miserably onto the carpet floor.
The petty power he had tried to grasp even while kneeling to the Chinese Chairman, an enemy nation.
That ugly struggle had instead returned as the most terrible guillotine choking his neck.
Inside the massive office.
In the empty space with no one around, Goldwin covered his face with both hands.
The thick and terrible blue light covering his entire body.
That light of destruction was mercilessly cutting off the last breath of the old lion trembling like an aspen tree.
[NYT Exclusive: White House secret communication network breached. Internal job gains weight.]
[Fox News: Leaked recording of secret deal with Zhao Qian. Perfect original with no signs of manipulation.]
The large display in the office continuously spewed urgent breaking news.
Kwangho gulped down dry saliva while watching the screen.
No matter how huge KH Group was, it was beyond common sense that the heart of the White House could be so easily breached.
“Even though we’ve taken control of Iron Shield’s communication network.”
Kwangho looked around once and then leaned toward Kang Hyeon.
In the space with just the two of them.
His tone naturally became casual.
“It’s a direct line with the White House’s highest security clearance. Is it really that easy to extract something like that entirely?”
“It wasn’t extracted through hacking.”
Kang Hyeon smiled coldly and took a sip of his cold coffee.
“We didn’t breach the system, we breached the ‘person’ who manages the system.”
“A person?”
Kang Hyeon’s gaze turned to the White House organizational chart attached to the transparent board.
In his eyes, the strange flow of light that had been swirling inside the White House for days was clearly etched.
Goldwin’s deep blue light symbolizing destruction.
The faint gray traces of those struggling to break away from his side to survive.
“The higher up someone is in the power hierarchy, the more they value their own survival over security systems.”
“Are you saying you directly bribed someone inside the White House?”
[CNN Breaking News: White House National Security Advisor suddenly announces intention to resign. Connection to leak incident draws attention.]
The urgent voice of the anchor on the TV screen perfectly answered Kwangho’s question.
“On a sinking ship, everyone desperately needs a life jacket.”
Kang Hyeon tapped his fingers on the desk.
“What we extracted from Iron Shield was just a simple ‘clue’. The real original recording was personally put on a USB by the National Security Advisor and handed over to our broker.”
“That’s insane. The President’s closest aide directly stabbed him in the back?”
“Because we opened a path to survival.”
A thick, cruel predator’s sneer formed at the corner of Kang Hyeon’s mouth.
“Would he rot in prison for life with Goldwin on treason charges, or would he take the astronomical Swiss account that KH Capital offered? The choice was very simple and clear.”
The deadly recording containing the most secret conversations of the US President.
It hadn’t come out by breaching ironclad cyber security.
It had flowed out quite pathetically through the trembling hands of his closest aide.
A perfect and chilling hunt that pierced through human selfish survival instincts with capital.
“In the end, everything was on a giant chessboard you designed.”
Kwangho shook his head as if disgusted.
Instead of answering, Kang Hyeon picked up the remote and switched the channel to US congressional broadcasting.
The fateful Senate vote.
The atmosphere in the Capitol Building on screen was literally a tense thin ice.
[Republican Senate Majority Leader issues emergency statement just before vote!]
The expression of the Republican Senate Majority Leader standing at the podium was wretchedly distorted.
But the words flowing from his mouth were sharp and merciless like daggers.
-We can no longer shield a criminal who conspired with enemy nations.
Bang!
As soon as that declaration burst out, fierce stirring arose inside the Capitol Building.
-The Republican Party, for the security of great America and the protection of the Constitution, hereby completely withdraws support for President Goldwin as of this moment!
Perfect tail-cutting.
When the worst scandal of secret dealings with Zhao Qian broke, even the Senate guards finally raised the white flag.
They chose the path of ruthlessly abandoning the sitting President for the party’s survival and the upcoming election.
“Now it’s really over.”
Kang Hyeon murmured quietly.
On screen, senators called one by one were standing up from their seats to cast their votes.
‘In favor.’
Cold words of betrayal continuously poured from the mouths of Republican senators.
It was an incredible moment when the rotten rope Goldwin had clung to until the end was breaking piece by piece.
-The tally has been completed.
Finally, the Senate President picked up the gavel with a heavy expression.
Suffocating silence descended upon the massive conference hall.
-78 votes in favor, 22 votes against.
The gavel cut sharply through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
-I hereby declare that the impeachment motion against the 47th President of the United States of America, Goldwin, has been finally passed according to constitutional provisions!
The arrogant emperor of a great empire was finally dragged down miserably from his throne.
Reporters on screen frantically transmitted breaking news while flashes exploded.
It was the most shocking death sentence that would never be erased from world history.
Kang Hyeon very calmly turned off the display.
Tense silence came to the office where the noisy sounds had instantly disappeared.
‘He’s finally completely destroyed.’
Goldwin’s photo attached to the transparent board.
The terrible blue light that had been tightly wrapped around him finally shattered into pieces and scattered into the air.
What completely devoured that place instead was Aiden Davis’s intense red light.
“It’s time for a new king to be born.”
Kang Hyeon stood up from his seat and silently looked down at Seoul’s open panorama.
The one who stopped the heart of great America with capital and transplanted a new heart again.
A cool and deep satisfaction of having the world completely under his feet spread deeply in the predator’s eyes.
