The Road We Walk On

King's Holding

In the past 2 weeks, Dante had been over the moon. All his bargaining and bribing had worked, he was offered the Cheseo District contract beating many other companies including Shimwoo & Co. At first Dante didn't think much when he had gotten the contract over Shimwoo & Co. He did not believe that they were a much stronger company than King's Holding was.

However, 2 weeks in and Dante's mood got worse and worse by the day. Despite now getting a contract that if done well will guarantee him millions to come. What Dante lacked now was actually capital. He had some of his own but when he was sent to jail - majority of his assets had been taken by the government. Despite being acquitted, Dante was only able to retrieve 30% of what he had originally owned.

He had enough material for blackmail, as well as contacts, but he was in a dire situation. He had hoped that with Seojin being Director of the Chungah Art Centre, it would bring him some dough. However that plan failed and even though Seojin is still contestanting for the Chungah Group Director position, Dante still needed to find investors.

He had gathered some but it was definitely not enough to even begin to build Cheoseo District. With the ground breaking ceremony for the District happening in another week, if he doesn't find more money, the whole process will stall. Sir, what shall we do?

Dante was really over in head, he was now out of options. Do what you can to get us some money!

How Sir?

I don't care if you need to use my current assets to get us a loan or something, it doesn't matter now. If we can get enough money to start to process, I won't have to worry about paying back any money once I start earning.

Are you sure sir?

Of course I am sure, I am desperate now. I can't sit and wait around for Seojin to be elected Director of Chungah Group. If I don't move now, my current investors will leave me. So JUST GET IT DONE!

The secretary ran out of the room, and quickly went about doing Dante's instructions. Even though this was risky, Dante needed to act now, if not the investors who he has currently borrowed money from will end up backing out, and he would need to find more money elsewhere.

Mdm, Dante has started to actually use his assets to loan money.

Where is he getting the money from?

He is now reaching out to loan sharks. It is the fastest way to get the money for him.

Is he using the people that we have chosen?

Yes, he has left his secretary to choose who to reach out to.

Good, make sure he goes to the ones that we have chosen. What about Seojin?

She is currently fighting for the Director position, based on what we know, It seems that she has gained enough votes for that to happen. Are we going to stop her?

No no, leave her be. Since she so desperately wants this position, give it to her. Suryeon unnie has something planned for both of them soon, so let's not stand in her way.

Understood Mdm. Also an update about Eunbyeol.

Yes, how is everything?

According to the doctors they are recommended a series of neuro-therapy as well as new cutting edge methods.

Are they going to have surgery?

Yes but only one, it seems to be fairly routine surgery but what will be the challenge would be the neuro-therapy. It is unclear how Eunbyeol will respond to the treatment.

What matters is that she is surrounded by those she loves. I am guessing Dante has not told Seojin about Eunbyeol's supposed death.

No, I am guessing it is because of the upcoming Director appointment that Dante has chosen not to say anything.

Right, well he won't want to break that partnership yet. It would be too risky for him.

So we continue to monitor?

Yes, also how is Dongpil doing on his end?

Everything is running according to plan as we speak. Dante won't know what will hit him.

Hmph, good after all the pain he has put people through, it is time to complete our revenge and avenge Logan as well. 

Note: In case you are wondering, yes I am going to bring the Hera Place drama to a close soon, probably over the next couple of chapters (unclear how many) but I am running out of creativity for the Penthouse drama of it so I want to get it out of my hair. I hope you all understand, after all we are here more for Seokrona right? ahaha! this gives me more sexy time to write
