In most of the bills that we believe was money, most of it exists as 0s and 1s in a computer. And they were largely controlled by a big hand that was called something in the lines of the stock market economy.
There was no such thing as free competition.
Once Michelle and Alice got a taste of real life, they turned back with shocked faces. The party finally came to an end. One of the guards that came from their agency greeted Ahn Soo Ho with their eyes.
They must have known Caroline as well because they nodded at her, too.
“That’s Allen’s North Mist.”
They were the PMC that stood out the most after Aragon Company’s downfall.
“Anyway… even Germany, which seems pretty normal, is full of crazy people. I didn’t think there would be psychos chanting for the revival of Germans.”
“Didn’t you catch on when you worked with Krupp?”
“Since we were just growing at the time, we didn’t have the flexibility to screen our employers. And the military was threatening to kill us back then, so we had to team up with the commies or Nazis.”
“And what you wished for came true.”
Most of Absent Morgan believed that they had to team up with the worst if they wanted to liberate women. They were determined to use the men to bring down the men. Caroline stared at Michelle and Alice walking away.
“Are they… okay? If we tell the wrong people about this, we could get ourselves killed.”
“They’re smarter than you think.”
Not all beauty pageant winners were dumb. Not only did they have stunning looks, but they were quite intelligent as well. Even the most beautiful women looked cheap if they didn’t have brains.
“Really? But then again, that Brazilian one looks pretty appetizing.”
“Carol? Aren’t you… a feminist?”
He was shocked that she compared a woman to something that could be eaten.
“Why do you think that?”
“You put your life on the line to liberate women. But you’re acting like an old man.”
“Haha.”
Caroline laughed at Ahn Soo Ho’s question. She laughed so hard that people passing by stared. She even had tears in her eyes. She shook her head and responded, “Feminism? That’s good and all. But do you know what I realized over the years?”
Ahn Soo Ho shrugged his shoulders in response.
“The enemy of women are other women.”
“Nah. I bet both men and women are enemies of women.”
“Oh, you’re right. But there are as much scum men as there are women. If they can’t help, they shouldn’t get in the way.”
“I think that’s a matter of sexuality more than gender.”
“Okay, fine. But there are way too many opportunist women out there.”
Ahn Soo Ho smirked at her nuance.
“I guess you don’t like beauty pageants.”
“Whatever the reason, they’re still selling their bodies.”
She was being extreme, but she wasn’t wrong either.
“But I liked the two of them.”
“Why?”
“Because they have brains.”
The biggest problem Caroline had with Feminism was that women acted weakly and relied on men. It was wrong for men to brainwash women into thinking they were weak, but those who turned away from the truth and made excuses were just as responsible.
Ahn Soo Ho clicked his tongue.
He didn’t know the difference between Neo-Nazis and Absent Morgan, which used violence to express their new feminism. But then again, everyone had their circumstances and reason. If he worried about every one of them, the whole world was going to burn down in flames.
‘A society where you hate everything but yourself.’
Or maybe not. Since even looking down on one’s self became something to brag about, looking down on others was nothing.
‘The cruelest world is the one where the weakest rip each other to shreds.’
The Korean media, which was keeping their eye on Ahn Soo Ho, put him on the cover as soon as he appeared at the party in Germany. Although it was a private party, there were lots of paparazzi and reporters at the entrance, and Ahn Soo Ho holding Caroline’s hand was captured and put on all the internet and paper articles.
A lot of people questioned where his wife was, but they understood his situation. That was because they believed the party to be an event for lobbyists. Thanks to the Korean media’s change in stance, Ahn Soo Ho became a type of ambassador for Korea despite not being Korean.
Koreans showed strong interest in Ahn Soo Ho. Those who didn’t know him could have mistaken him for the president.
What’s in Germany? They don’t have much to do with our country.
Yeah. If he’s trying to get back cultural assets, he should go to China or Japan instead. The commie North Koreans sold so many of ours to China!
Same with Russia!
Not Russia, but the Soviet Union! I heard the ones that the Soviet Union had went over to Germany! Am I wrong?
What do you mean Germany and our country have nothing to do with each other? Lots of miners and nurses are there. I think most overseas Koreans live in England or Germany.
That’s the painful history of Korea. Selling off soldiers to the Vietnam war and selling miners and nurses to Germany is the same as human trafficking. This is all very inhuman behavior.
At the time, they just said they were taking volunteers, but they didn’t tell anyone the horrible situation of the country! I want this painful history to come back into light! Pushing citizens into deadly situations is no different from murder!
So when are we getting back our cultural assets?
Are you stupid? It’s not easy getting back what was already stolen!
We should abandon the fast culture we have here!
Korea’s foreign office disapproved at first, but they were ready to do a lot just to promote their own organization. As a result, they tried their best to take the incident that Oh Joo Kyung and the owner started and use it to their advantage.
In order to wrap up the cultural asset agreement with the French government, they picked Han Kyung Il. The Korean government wasn’t so dumb that they didn’t get the explicit message.
Once Ahn Soo Ho returned to Frankfurt, he video called Daniel.
“People will talk about this later. They’ll call this foreign pressure. Maybe the vice-chairman is getting way over her head.”
“What’s wrong with it? It’s refreshing. Tell him he did a good job.”
“Tell him yourself.”
“No, I can’t do that.”
“Why not?”
“Because I’ll get cussed at.”
“So you know.”
The Korean citizens liked Ahn Soo Ho, but the vice chairman and the promotional department of Hosoo Group were seriously considering quitting due to the overtime work.
“What about Gaesung?”
“China, Japan, and Russia seem positive. And the White House is being cooperative as well.”
“I’m sure. Since the Nigeria card isn’t working, they’re keeping their eye on North Korea.”
Following the Middle East, the White House planted another black hole in Nigeria, but when it didn’t work, they started hunting for their next prey. That was when North Korea came into view. The problem was Ahn Soo Ho’s thoughts, but as soon as he renounced his citizenship, they started to actively pursue it.
“What do you expect will happen?”
“They’ll reopen the six-party talks.”
“Will they give up on nuclear weapons?”
“No.”
Daniel strongly denied it, and Ahn Soo Ho nodded.
“Yeah. North Korea wouldn’t give up nuclear weapons.”
They couldn’t. If they did, their country would go down in rank overnight. Ironically, just for having nuclear weapons, they were more recognized in the international society than South Korea.
“Are you going to participate?”
“No.”
This time, Ahn Soo Ho strongly denied.
“This kind of talk is their specialty. If they want to play politics about North Korea’s nuclear missiles, who am I to interfere?”
Security issues were the most important for politicians. And the new Cold War approaching North-East Asia was good bait for America. Same went for China, Russia, and Japan. By using the threat of war, they could defeat any other dissatisfactions easily.
“Then I’ll proceed as planned.”
“Good. Oh yeah!”
Ahn Soo Ho stopped Daniel from hanging up.
“Don’t pressure the Ministry of Unification too much.”
“Why can the vice-chairman do it but not me?”
“Because they might let a pretty woman off easily, but they’ll fight if a dark man like you challenge them.”
“That’s sexism, Soo Ho.”
“Anyway, don’t go too hard.”
“I’ll be careful.”
Daniel didn’t want to talk to an annoyed bureaucrat just to establish unification for Emerald City – Gaesung. Each government department seemed to operate separately, but they were actually all tangled up in a mess. The national division often became a diplomatic issue while the strategy and finance division often became a unification issue.
“I almost forgot the most important part.”
He almost forgot the most important part.
“Get rid of the stocks and increase the weight of cash.”
“Cash? What for?”
Ahn Soo Ho cut off Daniel.
“A tsunami is about to hit, Danny. A big one at that.”
A huge tsunami was on its way to swallow up the world, including Europe and Korea.

Hector seemed quite cheerful when he saw him for the first time having parting in Hawaii. The old man gained some weight and greeted Ahn Soo Ho with a smile. He was smiling so brightly that he almost forgot that there was a piece of glass with holes in between them.
“You look happy, old man.”
“I’m eating well, having fun, and sleeping plenty. I call that Heaven.”
“I finished the job.”
“Your expression tells me you’re telling the truth.”
Hector glanced at the monitoring cameras on the wall and then continued, “I never disappeared in the first place.”
The trace by the German government was nothing but a show.
“What do you mean?”
“I’m saying the color of the flag changed and depending on the situation, it might change again.”
He was vague, but Ahn Soo Ho nodded.
“More importantly, Sluski is after you.”
“Sluski? I haven’t heard that name in a while.”
“Why?”
“Because of the Red Sea Trading Company.”
Hector opened his mouth freely. But he had yet to resolve the suspicion. Ahn Soo Ho waited for him to finish.
“Do you know about Red Sea Trading Company’s origin, Soo Ho?”
“A little.”
“People think it was the Soviet Union’s attempt to save themselves, but that’s not true. The establishment of it has nothing to do with the happiness of the Soviet Union people.”
“I’m listening.”
“The nuclear fears at the time were probably worse than you can imagine.”
People these days talked about MAD all the time, but back then, the concept made everyone including academics, civilians, and the government tremble in fear.
“The spies of America and the Soviet Union realized the risks before anyone else. They knew that if someone made one mistake, the whole world would go extinct.”
Red Sea Trading Company was a group of spies that tried to stop the world from going extinct. What was surprising was that America and the Soviet Union, who fought in an intelligence war during the Cold War, were the main initiators?
Just like how the old Soviet Union, called Russia took 30 percent of Red Sea Trading Company’s stocks, so did America. The rest were split up among England, France, Italy, China, and more.
The purpose of the Red Sea Trading Company was simple.
‘Never let a nuclear war break loose!’
What was the point of spies if the world went extinct? Regarding nuclear threats, all the intelligence agencies came to an agreement. Even North Korea minded this company. After all, if there was any sign of a nuclear war, North Korea would be destroyed first.
The money that was spent to control everything related to nuclear weapons was the Red Sea Trading Company’s funds. They spent as much as they needed to buy scientists who knew about nuclear weapons. The problem began when the intelligence agencies started using that money for themselves.
After the Cold War, the nuclear war became a thing of the past. And this fund became a profitable business for secret missions. And the slush funds with no record of it remained as a top-secret.
Power always followed money.
The ones who could control the Red Sea Trading Company funds were the ones who were really at the top. And that had nothing to do with the president’s appointment. If they could move the funds themselves, they didn’t have to worry about the president or the national assembly.
“How do you think I took the throne back then, Soo Ho? It’s not like I have some great genes or anything. And I didn’t have much money either… And I’m not white.”
The old man looked like a Hispanic. Come to think of it, Hector Garcia didn’t have a special background or support.
Ahn Soo Ho shook his head.
“As I said before, I’m not interested where your power comes from Hector. What I want to know is why Sluski is coming after you.”
“You’re cold.”
He didn’t care for what most would beg him to share. That was why Hector could trust Ahn Soo Ho. He had no interest in money or valuables.
“Vitali’s power isn’t stable.”
“I heard he’s on the board of directors now.”
“No, there’s no way.”
“So it’s a lie?”
“Half of it, yeah.”
“Then what’s the half of it?”
“It might be faster if you heard it from Rothschild. He’ll look for you as soon as you get out of here.”
“Okay.”
Ahn Soo Ho nodded and got up. Hector was right. Once he left the detention center, he saw a familiar face.
“Allen.”
“Soo Ho.”
Allen Smith.
He had the same name as the impeached American president, but he had a different look and personality. While Barbara’s way of handling money was mostly legal, this man almost never followed the laws.
The emperor of black money
The reincarnation of Shylock
The spirit of Scrooge
He was like the Voldemort of the financial world.
“Shall we walk?”
Ahn Soo Ho nodded for him to lead the way. The two then walked through a park filled with modern sculptures.
“I want to invest in the Emerald membership.”
Ahn Soo Ho smirked in response.
“Out of the blue? I don’t know how I should react to this.”
“Don’t be mad. I’m just delivering what the board of directors decided.”
“I just left you alone because I didn’t care, but maybe I should have shot you all.”
“Whoa, whoa.”
Allen shook his hands in response. It was an exaggerated response. He minded Ahn Soo Ho and then carefully continued,
“Did you know Angola disappeared? The heads disappeared without a trace. That left a void almost as big as the one you left behind.”
“So?”
“You have what Angola…”
“Stop.”
Ahn Soo Ho cut off Allen.
“Stop wasting time and get to the point.”
“Pitch Stone and Heritage are keeping a close eye on this situation.”
“They are? That sounds like they want to take what they couldn’t from New York.”
“I won’t disagree with that.”
According to General Ashford’s plans, New York had to undergo further destruction and the President of the United States was to be executed in front of many. As a result, the rage of Americans and the American army was supposed to burn Africa to the ground. But once Ahn Soo Ho got involved, the plan didn’t proceed as planned.
The unplanned London terrorist attack and the reveal that it was by a French bureaucrat ruined the original plans, and the African war was reduced to a Nigerian war instead. For those who invested with it beforehand, there was a great loss, but they were determined to make up for it this time.
“I’ll prevent losses for South Korea as much as I can.”
“Why?”
“Wait, aren’t you interested in South Korea’s situation?”
“No.”
Allen tilted his head.
The capable men who wanted to get closer to Ahn Soo Ho were so desperate that they even planned to buy the Korean cultural pieces from the black market and return it to Korea.
“What I’m interested in right now is Sluski.”
“Hm.”
Allen groaned.
“If you know me well, you should know what I hate the most, too.”
“Human trafficking.”
“Yeah. I absolutely hate pimps. Especially scumbags like Sluski that catch small children and do horrible things to them. The reason why I didn’t kill him before was because UNICEF was more important. But this bastard dared to poke his head out again. And you guys just accepted him with open arms. What kind of bullshit is that?”
“He’s directly connected to UNICEF… Ugh!”
Allen Smith went up into the air with a groan. Ahn Soo Ho wasn’t holding him up. He was just floating in the air. As soon as Allen put his hand on his waist, both Allen’s guards and Ahn Soo Ho’s guards stepped forward.
“Listen carefully, Allen. If you lay your hands on prostitution again, I won’t end it with just a warning.”
In Europe, prostitution was a legal business. And among those with power, there were many perverts with a unique taste. Many liked unmarried women, and there were even those who liked children. But the world of perverts was very vast.
Some perverts liked those with disabilities while others went after pregnant women. But there was a pervert that beat them all out of the water. Some liked to kidnap a loved one, family or friend and made them have sex with each other.
At that point, they were just mental patients.
In a world of 7 billion people, a few missing people went unnoticed. If it made money, some were willing to not only sell people but dead bodies as well. But then again, organ trafficking was also a big business that competed with human trafficking.
Ahn Soo Ho wasn’t interested in normal prostitutes.
But when it came to business prostitution, people were often kidnapped in order to meet the clients’ unique tastes. The ultimate hobby of those with money and power was crime.
Prostitution at a corporate level was very dangerous.
General Ashford.
This crime planning group was put in action by Angola, but the ones that funded them were men with power. Making bets on crimes and the results of crimes was thrilling for them.
“Cough, cough!”
Allen Smith fell to the ground and coughed while grabbing his throat. His guards ran over to take care of him, but he pushed them aside and got up.
“We can’t control all of our members, Soo Ho. Cough!”
“I know. I understand.”
“I promise… Cough! That I’ll never lead any kind of prostitution.”
“You’d better not, Allen. I won’t give you another chance.”
Allen stopped coughing and stood up straight.
“Andre Sluski is…”
Rothschild was a group of faith, but they were going against a man of self-will. If they tried to protect Sluski, they were going to die first.
“He’s in Prague.”
“Thank you. Oh, yeah!”
Ahn Soo Ho stopped and smiled back at him.
“I have a lot of stocks to sell. You’ll give me a good offer, right?”
He looked like he was about to cry.
The emperor of black money
The reincarnation of Shylock
The spirit of Scooge
He was a tycoon who controlled the financial world, but in Ahn Soo Ho’s eyes, he was just an ATM like Barbara.
‘A human ATM!’
You have a lot of money.
Allen looked displeased.
‘This is theft!’
A legal bank robbery was taking place right in front of his eyes.
