Chapter 201: <What goes around comes around>
Choi Gichul screamed into the phone, “Hey! What the hell!”
“I, I’m sorry. So many bitcoins are being sold constantly, we did not anticipate it.”
“How many?”
“20% more bitcoins are involved than we expected.”
“Who would do that? Who would have known our plan?”
“We can’t tell. It could be that many of the bitcoin owners got together… We are doing our best to find out, but we have no answer so far.”
Choi Gichul asked desperately, “What will happen if things continue like this?”
“We won’t be able to do anything, and the price will drop at least 40% below what we hoped.”
“Then how much more money do you need to make it happen?”
“About 30 million dollars.”
Choi Gichul sighed deeply and hung up.
Jung Jinsup asked, “What’s happening? Is it not going well?”
Choi Gichul didn’t answer. He left the room and went down to the first floor. Jung Jinsup turned to the monitor and checked the price again.
“Should I sell now?”
Choi Gichul bit his lips. “Dammit. Did my own team betray me?”
Choi Gichul has worked with this team of experts several times in the past and it was a success every time. This has never happened before.
“Could they be working against me? Could it be…”
His paranoia started to take over his mind.
“But they know what Daeyang will do to them if they betray me…”
Choi Gichul made a call to Daeyang’s security team. The report he got was clean.
Choi Gichul asked, “So everything looks normal?”
“Yes. It’s no different than any other time. They are using only our phones, and they are being monitored closely.”
Choi Gichul relaxed a little but suddenly tensed again.
‘What if the security team is also in on it?’
Choi Gichul gritted his teeth. It made sense.
Choi Gichul knew what he had to do.

1BTC 700.10.
1BTC 621.00.
1BTC 341.00.
The price continued to drop. Choi Gichul’s paranoia won over his logic.
“These bastards are all working against me.”
He now felt like he only had one option left.
Kang Woosung.
Choi Gichul believed Kang Woosung could fix everything for him.
He called Kang Woosung.
Woosung answered, “I was just about to call you.”
“There is something you need to do for me.”
“Tell me.”
Choi Gichul told Woosung a partial truth. He didn’t say anything about the bitcoin situation. He told Woosung he was in the process of collecting proofs against Choi Taemin, but it appeared that Daeyang security team has betrayed him. Choi Gichul asked Woosung to do something about it.
Woosung smirked. “Is that so?”
“Yes, so I need you to confirm my theory.”
“Exactly what do you want me to confirm?”
“First, I need to know if they are working for Choi Taemin secretly, but this needs to be done without Choi Taemin finding out.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Please do it right now. It is a very urgent matter.”
1BTC 126.00.
Bitcoin price continued to dip. Choi Gichul was desperate.
Woosung replied calmly, “I see. So this is an emergency.”
“How soon will you be able to find out?”
1BTC 85.10.
“I don’t know. Probably a week or so.”
“You need to do it NOW! There is no time!”
1BTC 71.20.
At Choi Gichul’s scream, Woosung replied bluntly, “This isn’t my problem.”
“If you don’t act now, you may not get the information you need about Choi Taemin.”
“I already have enough information.”
“…pardon?”
“I don’t have to tell you the details.”
“W, what? Hello?”
1BTC 35.20.
How could this happen? His team was pumping the price, yet it was still going down. free(w)ebnovel(.)com
Woosung replied, “I will think about what you asked.”
Woosung hung up. Choi Gichul paled.
Jung Jinsup found him and asked, “Hey, what’s going on? The price won’t stop decreasing.”
Choi Gichul didn’t answer. Instead, he called his team.
“Please leave a message after the beep.”
Choi Gichul tried calling again.
“Please leave a message after the beep.”
“Those bastards!”
“Please leave a message after the beep.”
He tried to call a few more times, but no one answered. Choi Gichul threw the phone on the ground.
Jung Jinsup asked in shock, “Hey! What’s happening?”
Jung Jinsup was anxious too. He stole from the company and gambled with it. He betted everything on this night. This was his last hope.
An even bigger problem was he broke the promise he made with Woosung. Woosung probably already knew about it.
“Shut up.”
“W, what?”
Choi Gichul said again, “Just shut the hell up.”
“…what are you…”
Without another word, Choi Gichul left the office.

The next day at KND headquarters.
Woosung stood in front of the reporters.
“Is it true that your M&A funds came from Japan?”
“No.”
“Then is it from US?”
“No.”
“So you are saying you were able to purchase companies worth billions of dollars with your own money alone?”
Woosung nodded. “I made my money based on data analysis of the future trading. It was an honest and legal investment method.”
“You are saying you made billions of dollars from the future market?”
“Yes.”
The reporters gaped in shock. One reporter asked, “Could we get the details?”
Woosung smiled.
“It started with the financial crisis. A crisis can be a chance for a financial gain, and I didn’t miss my chance. I was able to make a lot of money. With it, I created my company. Later, I made even more money during the Greece situation and the Japanese earthquake.”
Before anyone could ask him another question, Woosung continued quickly, “I made my money with only one thing. Dada analysis. I worked smart and hard; that is how I did it.”
However, people still didn’t believe Woosung.
Making billions by investing in the market?
Even world-famous investors couldn’t accomplish this in such a short period of time.
Woosung continued, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s the truth.” freewebn(o)vel.com
Many reporters raised their hands, but Woosung continued, “I am telling you that I created my corporate empire fair and square. I realize many of the companies in Korea became successful illegally and unethically. That is why the public probably doesn’t trust my words. I understand, so I suggest a nation-wide audit by an unbiased team. I am willing to pay for this investigation myself. Any company that doesn’t volunteer for this inquiry would be admitting their guilt.”
