Episode 119. Obtaining Results (11)

Gulp.

Koo Ja-yeon swallowed a pain reliever and pressed her throbbing head with her hand.

“Ugh…….”

The migraine born of stress was relentless.

Her ordinarily peaceful life had become a shambles.

Parents gathered in the Parent Meeting Room.

Among them was Parent Association President Kook Sang Ju Mi-ju, part of Korea’s upper crust—all of them staring with eyes sharp as razors.

Yet their real target was not the man who’d wielded the knife.

This was a declaration of war against someone said to have been cast out from Haryun Group.

It was no simple matter.

Cast out or not, the bloodline they aimed at was not someone Mi-ju—or anyone else—could casually attack.

Those within the Group’s inner circle enjoyed implicit protection.

Families bended their elbows inward.
External assault was deemed an affront to the entire clan.

That was the situation unfolding now.

Ha Tae-ung, the outcast, was undeniably Chairman Ha Cheol-gon’s blood.

Even cast out by family strife, one did not treat him carelessly.

Everyone knew Chairman Ha Cheol-gon was cold as ice.

When his father’s business ventures were divided during an era of paternal gentleness, he had changed.

He was ruthless enough to disown bloodline if it hindered the Group’s growth, yet once you became his man, he protected you absolutely.

Now Mi-ju was dangerously overstepping.

“Haa.”

A long sigh escaped Ja-yeon’s lips.

Unlike ordinary schools, even as director she wielded little power here.

Cheonghwa’s Parent Association officers were drawn from Korea’s most prominent upper-class circles.

Cheonghwa Group itself did not rank in their tier.

“Please, let no great scandal erupt…….”

Ja-yeon prayed desperately.

If word of this crisis reached the upper echelons of Cheonghwa Group, even her director’s post would be in peril.

Beep-beep-beep-beep.

The intercom rang.

—Director.

The direct line from the newly contracted security office.
A call from the new private security company manager.

“Yes, what is it?”
—A guest has arrived.
“A guest? Who?”
—Director Go Mi-hee from Ilsung Hotel.
“What? Go, Go Mi-hee?”

* * *

“Whoa!”
“Huh…….”
“K-Kook Sang?”
“Oh my!”

Gasps erupted from all sides.

The derogatory slur that had trailed Mi-ju for some time.

A name whispered behind her back but never—not once—breathed to her face.

No one possessed the audacity to hurl such a term directly at a member of the Korean Group’s owning family.

Yet Ha Tae-ung had just hurled it at Mi-ju, sneering as he did.

“You, you……!”

Mi-ju’s complexion flushed crimson.

Her fury had reached such heights that her voice began to stutter.

She pointed accusingly, her rage burning, but Ha Tae-ung remained unmoved.

“Secretary.”

Ha Tae-ung called out to Yi Gyeong-ja, whom he had some acquaintance with.

“Yes? Yes.”

Yi Gyeong-ja answered, startled.
As she observed the situation, her legs had gone weak.

This opponent was on another level entirely.

The nightmare she’d experienced in the Principal’s Office came flooding back.

“This is the second time.”
“Pardon?”
“Violation. Of. Educational. Rights.”

Ha Tae-ung pronounced each syllable with crystalline clarity in a dulcet voice.

“I, I apologize.”

Yi Gyeong-ja immediately bowed her head.
This meeting was not her doing.

It had been convened by Parent Association President Mi-ju’s unilateral decision.

Had she known it was a scheme to attack Ha Tae-ung, she would never have attended.

It looked as though a whale’s fight would drag down sardines, shrimp, and flounder alike.

No parent here besides Mi-ju had the courage to speak against Ha Tae-ung.

Then, suddenly——

“…….”

Even his short, sneering laugh cut deeper than hers.

She wanted to rush at him, to tear that babbling mouth to shreds.

Not someone she cared to engage physically.

“Your whole life derailed over a single dried squid. How pitiful.”

Ha Tae-ung returned the cut with a laugh of his own.

“Yaaaaaa!”

Mi-ju’s shriek burst forth with enough force to pierce the meeting room and reach the schoolyard.

She had utterly detonated.

“I wonder why someone so lacking in breeding and so utterly worthless called me here? Do any of you know?”

Ha Tae-ung bypassed Mi-ju and fixed his gaze on the assembled parents.

“…….”

All of them lowered their eyes or turned away.

They understood that this quarrel had nothing to do with them.

Ha Tae-ung, like Mi-ju, was a complete madman.

“You! What’s your relationship with that whore?”

Mi-ju shifted her target.

“…….”

An Hyeon-ju was paralyzed by Mi-ju’s stare and screaming voice.

She really was insane.

“Tell me! Did you sleep with that mongrel?”

“……!!”

In that instant——

The door glided open.

“Ch, Chairman!”
