President Yoon!
A former prosecutor, he had climbed to the pinnacle of power by purging his predecessor and securing the backing of the conglomerates. He was a man known for his iron-fisted rule.
Seated beside him was a dazzling woman: Jin Xiuyan, Goryeo's first lady, renowned throughout the nation for her beauty and family background.
Rumor had it that her powerful conglomerate family had been the key to Yoon Seokjun's rise to power.
Yoon Seokjun's gaze swept slowly over everyone present, taking in the panic on their faces.
He cleared his throat, and his cold, forceful voice rang through the conference room.
"Everyone, I'm sure you've received Chairman Park Taegyeon's message."
"That's right."
He spoke each word distinctly. "The man who gave us all nightmares ten years ago, the devil codenamed KING... has returned."
The room erupted!
Though they had already heard the news, the formal announcement of "KING" from the president's own mouth still sent the entire room into an uproar!
Most of those present had lived through that national humiliation ten years ago.
The terror of that man had sunk deep into their bones!
"Silence!"
Yoon Seokjun raised a hand and slammed it against the table, quelling their panic.
Far from looking afraid, he wore a cold smile edged with fierce ambition.
"Everyone, there's no need to panic."
"According to the intelligence we have, it isn't KING himself who has returned."
"It's KING's son."
He placed deliberate emphasis on the word "son."
"A boy not even twenty years old who knows nothing but brute force."
At those words, the tension in the conference room eased at once.
Everyone let out a long breath, though lingering fear remained on their faces.
As long as it wasn't KING himself. As long as it wasn't that godlike monster of a man.
