Chairman Ji was put in a bad mood from the morning. There was only one reason why.
“Kim Han-Gyo asked to meet me?”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Chairman Ji wondered if the sun had risen from the west today when he had gotten the report this morning. That was how unbelievable it was.
“Why? I’m sure he has a reason to want to meet me.”
“I was not able to get it. I asked, but he kept giving vague answers about it being business-related.”
“That’s his usual excuse.”
Kim Han-Gyo was like this all the time; he was the kind of person who would nonchalantly arrive at meetings and then begin to talk about something that they had not planned on discussing. His secretive nature was one of the many things Chairman Ji did not like about Han-Gyo.
“What will you do, Chairman?”
The chairman simply answered, “He wants to meet, so I guess I could humor him.”
He decided to hear him out for now.

Chairman Ji arrived at the considerably deserted lake park that Congressman Kim asked to meet at. He stood silently in the rain while staring at the scenery, gloomily overcast by rain clouds. His secretary, who was holding the umbrella for the chairman, looked to his right.
“He’s here, Chairman.”
“Mm.”
Chairman Ji looked in the direction that his secretary was looking. Han-Gyo, his chauffeur, and two men that seemed to be bodyguards showed themselves.
Chairman Ji remarked while smiling meaningfully, “Not only did you call me out here on a rainy day, you even brought bodyguards with you? What are you planning?”
The excessively open location of their meeting aside, it was highly suspicious that Han-Gyo had brought bodyguards to a meeting between friends.
Han-Gyo laughed heartily as he was asked two questions at once.
“It’s been quite a while, old friend. You seem to have a lot of questions for me.”
“Can you blame me?” Chairman Ji replied. His words carried several different implications.
It took only a moment for Han-Gyo’s laugh to turn into a sigh.
“If we meet indoors, there’s a risk of the place being bugged.”
That had been how the Kim Chi-Yeol incident was exposed. Han-Gyo’s answer to the second question was just as simple.
“And I feel like there has been someone targeting me lately.”
“Are you talking about the ‘masked woman’ that you’ve been parroting lately?”
“Basically.”
The rainfall grew heavier as time passed.
Chairman Ji said while narrowing his eyes at Han-Gyo, “Get to the point before it starts raining heavier.”
Han-Gyo also preferred not to stay here longer than he needed to.
He asked, “What do you think about joining forces with me again?”
An alliance proposition; that was Han-Gyo’s main objective for meeting Chairman Ji today. Chairman Ji feigned a laugh.
“You want to make up after you backstabbed me first?”
