Episode 126. Free Will (1)

“What is this, attorney?”
“…… I’m baffled too. Heils Law Firm, the British boutique firm, right?”
“The boutique firm beyond reach.”
“So what you’re saying is…….”

Kim Gyeong-min and Ayura arrived at Jo & Chang early Monday morning.

They were stunned by the official document that had flown in from the British law firm.

It was a very famous firm in the industry.

Even massive American firms bowed to Heils Law Firm.

A significant portion of the world’s wealthy count Heils Law Firm among their clients.

Heils provided bespoke services to the ultra-rich.

Several high-net-worth individuals in Korea used them as well.

Compared to Jo & Chang, Heils operated on an entirely different spectrum, with incomparable history and influence.

A cooperation agreement from such a firm?

“They want to do business together, don’t they?”
“If I’m reading this correctly, yes.”
“Why?”
“Don’t ask me. I’ve never had contact with Heils, and—oh!”

Attorney Kim Gyeong-min stopped mid-sentence, struck by a sudden intuition, and turned to look at Ayura.

“Surely not…….”

Ayura sensed it too.

“Wow, wow, wow…… The Young Master?”
“Really?”
“That’s the only explanation that makes sense.”
“Does Heils move that easily?”
“Our Young Master’s scale is in a different league.”
“…… Still.”
“Just how much wealth does the Young Master have? Is there something big we don’t know about?”
“Even so…….”

Ayura and Kim Gyeong-min were bewildered.

The Young Master’s capabilities were expanding into realms beyond imagination.

“Let’s verify.”
“Pardon?”
“We’re a team. We should naturally ask and confirm.”

Let’s ask him!

Kim Gyeong-min’s polite speech came naturally to him.
He seemed to have already decided to go all-in.

This was the very trap that Director Hong Il-su had warned about.

Kim Gyeong-min was falling deep into Ha Tae-ung’s orbit too.

“What should I ask?”
“Keep it simple and direct!”
“……??”
“Is Heils your business partner? Just like that.”
“Yes…….”
“Should I send it?”
“Oh, no. I’ll send it.”

Ayura touched her smartphone and sent the message.

And a moment later.

Ding.

A reply came.

“Did it come? What did he say?”
“…… Business partner…… is what he said.”
“Oh! Business partner!! Heils? Hahahahahaha!”

* * *

“Who is it this early in the morning?”

It was Jang Ji-yu.

We’d agreed to be friends, but were we really this close?

She appeared suddenly and thrust her face right up to mine.

While I was looking over the building I’d just secured, a text came through from Ayura of Jo & Chang.

It was the result of Isabella’s work.

The message revealed that she was my business partner.

“Business.”
“Business? This early?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow! Our Tae-ung operates on a different scale. A high school sophomore conducting deals on the way to school.”

Jang Ji-yu exclaimed playfully.

Every time she moved, her scent brushed against the tip of my nose.

Sweet and refreshing.

Despite her mature appearance, she was still a girl.

She inherited her late mother’s striking beauty.

As the eldest daughter of the Shindo Group Chairman, she carried herself with grace.

The distinctive confidence of a chaebol heiress was evident in her bearing.

One’s daily lifestyle shapes one’s habitual movements.

Above all, Jang Ji-yu’s beauty played its part in everything.

“You’ve changed.”
“Changed how?”
“…… Hmm.”

The golden radiance that had emanated from Jang Ji-yu had grown brighter.
She was subtly different over the weekend.

“Why? Am I pretty?”

Jang Ji-yu made a show of turning herself in a full circle in front of me.
Even in her school uniform…….

“Yeah.”
“Look at you, our Tae-ung with his wandering eyes.”

Our Tae-ung?
Jang Ji-yu of all people?

In my past life, I’d only seen her from a distance a few times.

Yet after the Regression, unexpectedly, we’d become this close.

“Isn’t he our senior?”
“Jang Ji-yu is our senior…….”
“Are they dating?”
“They’re close, aren’t they?”
“Tsk…….”

We were at the school gate.

Students heading to school stopped and whispered as they saw us.

I wasn’t embarrassed.

“They say we’re dating! Oh my~ What do I do. Hehehehe.”

Jang Ji-yu laughed brightly.
She seemed to be enjoying the situation.

I didn’t mind it either.

As the sun began to rise, warm air seemed to settle over everything.

“I’m fine with it.”
“I’m fine too. If it’s you, Tae-ung, I’m always welcoming.”

Jang Ji-yu flirted openly.

“But…… what exactly is perfect?”

She was curious by nature.

“A parking garage.”
“A parking garage? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I’m thinking of acquiring that building.”
“…… What! You’re buying it to park?”
“Yeah.”
“Whoa! Our Tae-ung has a car?”
“I’m an adult.”
“Of course, Mr. Richie Rich! So you’re buying an entire building just for parking, huh?”
“Just a little flex for myself.”
“…… Puhahahahahahahaha.”

Jang Ji-yu suddenly burst into laughter right there on the street in front of the school.

She clutched her stomach, laughing genuinely.

“…….”

The students heading to school stared at us with curious gazes.

To any observer, neither Jang Ji-yu nor I looked normal right now.

Still, I was fine with it.

Once my bank account had grown comfortable, the world seemed more beautiful than ever before.

An abundant and generous free will governed me.

“Tae-ung.”

Jang Ji-yu stopped laughing and looked at me seriously.

Deep emotion rippled in her large eyes.

What was this?

“If you fail…… I have to take responsibility.”
“……??”

Suddenly responsibility?
What did I do?

Jang Ji-yu’s sudden, unprompted remark.

“I trusted you and put my entire fortune into it.”

What kind of nonsense was this?

I hadn’t advised Jang Ji-yu to invest.

The person I’d recommended investing to was…….

“Did Jun-woo tell you?”
“Yeah.”

Kang Jun-woo and Jang Ji-yu.
I’d overlooked the fact that the two were close.

“…… .”

I looked at her carefully.

From Jang Ji-yu’s demeanor, I could tell her investment was substantial.

Now I understood why her aura had changed over the weekend when she appeared before me.

I smiled knowingly.
And then.

“Yeah. I’ll take responsibility…… for your life.”
“……!!”
