Absolute Advantage - Chapter 82.2

JS Group has recently faced a major crisis. JS Steel, which has the largest sales among its affiliates, had a the vice president of that was involved in the stock price manipulation case. Fortunately, the disturbing fire did not spread to the JS Atrium Museum of Art.

Rather, starting with the day Adam flexibly dealt with the art damage case, the exhibition has been booming since its opening like a ship on a fair wind. His beautiful story was spreading through SNS and word of mouth every day.

In this situation, Li Yuyen was the only one who worked. Adam knew but pretended not to know. Then eventually, Li Yuyen spoke first.

“Seo Hae-won’s direction is suspicious these days. You know…….”

“She’s being called around for a business class. It’s a busy time.” Adam answered calmly.

“Are you sad that you can’t see each other often?”

“Strictly?”

“…….”

Li Yuyen wondered, How should I put it? He could feel that he’s annoyed at the situation where he couldn’t see Hae-won every day like before, but Adam felt relaxed in front of him.

“Then, is it because of the management class that she comes to the building we bought every night?” Li Yu-yen cut to the chase.

In fact, this is why he had a bad expression. The building was the place where Adam and Haewon first met in Korea.

At that time, Adam did not take his medicine, exposing his nature of alpha. Although Hae-won didn’t know that the man was Adam.

Haewon’s search for the building again…….

Maybe.

“Did you get caught?”

“…….”  Adam was silent.

His silence made Li Yuyen more nervous.

“She didn’t notice that you were an alpha, did she? Then we can’t leave it like this. If -”

“Yes, I got caught.” Adam rose from his chair, cutting Li Yuyen’s horse from going further.

“……what?” Li Yuyen looked at Adam in amazement. Did you really get caught? But why is this guy so calm?

“I got caught.” Adam grinned at Li Yuyan.

It sounded as if he was talking about someone else. It was also suspicious that the subject was omitted. Adam’s eyes soon turned to the bottle on the desk. Adam tapped the bottle with his index finger.

It was an inhibitor that Hae-won spilled at his house.

Before returning it to Haewon, all the existing contents were discarded and changed to vitamins. But the shape was perfect. There will be no way to find out unless she requests an analysis of the ingredients.

“Seo Hae-won. Leave her alone for a while.”

“………why?”

Adam smiled broadly when Li Yu-yen gave a mysterious look. He answered heartily.

“She’s cute.” Soon a smile faded from his face. “……and clever.”

The murmuring voice was appalled.

Adam put the medicine bottle he was rolling around on the desk in his jacket pocket. And changed the subject.

“What about the man hired to do my background check?”

“Oh, he arrived in the Philippines.”

Adam nodded. “That’s all you need to care about.”

At Adam’s words, Li Yuyen reported what he had investigated in advance.

“Kang Tae-oh, 32 years old. His nationality is now revoked. The whole thing was pretty fancy, by the way. Now, he runs errands for a small number of chaebols. It’s an errand because it’s a good word, and it seems like it’s no big deal to ask a person.”

“Are we of the same kind?” Adam chuckled.

“I heard that he has connections in the Philippines, too.….”

“Then things will go faster.” Adam still didn’t seem nervous, even though Sera’s contractor has arrived in the Philippines and is digging for him.

On top of that, he is in danger of being exposed to the fact that he is an alpha by Hae-won.

‘Why are you so relaxed?’

Is this all Adam’s plan? Then he understood at first glance how he seemed to enjoy the situation beyond calm.

“I’m getting goosebumps, really.”  Li Yuyen shed an unfriendly glance at Adam. And suddenly, one day, he remembered the conversation he had with Adam.

‘Why don’t you take control of the JS group at this time.’

‘Are you telling me to aim for the chairmanship? Well, I don’t have a desire for power.’

‘Think about it. I don’t think it’s completely impossible under the current circumstances.’

‘I guess our young master wants to take this opportunity to end his dark life? If you want, I can give you a seat in the JS group now.’

‘……it’s not like that.’

Is it because he was influenced a little by hanging out with Haewon, Bora, and Louis?

No, he was born with a soft personality. Because he grew up exposed to all kinds of crimes, he only endured it pretending to be calm for survival.

“I hope you become happy.”

“Who?”

“Who could it be? You or Seo Hae-won. She’s a rare and kind person. It’s hard to find someone like her. Who knows how to sacrifice for others like that…….”
