The Goden never did charity. Nor partnerships out of kindness. Anyone who turned to the Min family was usually desperate, and the Goden profited from that.
That morning's target was a mid-sized businessman, owner of a failing franchise chain. Piled-up debts, tax issues, creditors clawing at the door. And yet, the man had the audacity to ask the Goden for a "capital injection."
Jun-ho didn't trust him. But he didn't have a solid reason to deny the deal, yet.
They would investigate closely. The agreement would be settled during a "presentation party." The businessman swore he had a new project that would draw influencers, models, and investors... but the man was already on their radar.
Jun-ho put his phone down just as the scent of coffee drifted into the room, right before Salin appeared.
The older one was already up, barefoot, hair a mess, an old hoodie slipping off one shoulder. A coffee cup in one hand and a satisfied look in the other.
— Morning, sleepyhead.
