A Lie Has Become Reality

29 – Aggro? That’s my specialty

Ring-!

When the phone rang, a man hurriedly picked up the receiver.

The man’s complexion gradually turned white as the phone call got longer.

Before long, the call ended, and the man licked his lips as he looked at Mayor Kang Min-wook, who was sitting in front of him with a trembling voice and lowered his head.

“Poetry… Mayor… PS Securities asked me to deposit additional margin right away within the day… “

The man couldn’t bear to finish her words.

Mayor Kang Min-wook’s complexion was already closer to that of the dead than that of the living.

“…… What if I don’t pay?”

Gulp.

At the feeble question of Mayor Kang Min-wook, the man’s neck shook.

The man moistened her chapped lips with his tongue.

“I will do forced liquidation the next day… “

A chilly silence lingered in the office.

Mayor Kang Min-wook’s hands were shaking.

He didn’t even think of a future where he would lose. He thought he had a sure card in his hand, so he was caught off guard.

No, even if he wasn’t really vigilant, would there have been a chance in the first place?

Kang Min-wook thought of Kim Seong-wu, who by now would be smiling with his mouth twisted as he swept the money.

‘Monster… That bastard is a monster.’

Everyone predicted Kang Min-wook’s victory.

That’s natural.

The amount of short selling that pours like a tactical bombing along with certain bad news is not something that a single game company can afford.

That’s why he went ahead with the attack without even thinking about it.

So, how did the current situation go?

“If you are forced to liquidate now… We are in a position where we have to ask for not only the principal but also the additional loss of the difference. I have to somehow increase the time by depositing additional margin… “

Bang-!

After the man stopped talking, Kang Min-wook hit the executive desk.

All I could hear was Kang Min-wook’s rough breathing that leaked out irregularly.

“Margin… How can I get the deposit… !! Where are you talking about getting the money and depositing it!!!!!”

Kang Min-wook howled as if writing an evil face with a red-hot face.

The man continued talking calmly, looking at Kang Min-wook, who was breathing vigorously.

“Mayor. According to the securities company, even if we do forced liquidation right now, the additional loss we have to cover is 40 billion won, excluding the principal.”

“Huh… hahahaha…… “

“But if I put off the redemption date later by depositing additional margin and dragging out more time, the opportunity will come again.”

“…… “

“How can I finance… “

“Impossible.”

Mayor Kang Min-wook tore his hair and muttered in a lonely voice.

“There is absolutely no corner to raise additional funds… I raised all the donations from the foundation in my wife’s name and invested them, but what more would I have left?”

“Then… “

“Yes, it is already over.”

Malignant stock price manipulation using short selling is strictly illegal.

Of course, there were no elements that would reveal his traces.

All the funds that can be flexible have been brought in. Even that was not enough, so I pulled the leverage up to 10x using CFD.

The board was raised by attracting short sellers, and everything went smoothly.

“The ignorant kid was me, not him.”

If you made a profit from short selling, it is enough to cut off your tail and just watch as if you are crossing the river.

As long as he keeps his mouth shut, the fact that he is behind it will never be revealed to the surface.

However, the unprecedented defeat of the short seller has already turned the public’s boredom into peanuts, and what will happen if there is even a rumor that Seoul Mayor Kang Min-wook went bankrupt?

All the news will spread through the media, and if that happens, it will only be a matter of time before the whole nation becomes the target of cooking.

There is no job with as many enemies as a politician.

“…… You seem to be dreaming.”

I drew myself making a lot of money through this operation.

It was a dream. It is also a very futile dream.

Then, is he still having nightmares? If this is a nightmare, I want to wake up right now.

Doouk- Ttuk-

From Kang Min-wook’s eyes, the recall of the inescapable medicine flowed down his cheeks.

The vivid pain that I felt every time I breathed in as if my lungs had been stabbed, it was as if I was urging myself to wake up.

The boundary between dreams and reality has collapsed.

Kang Min-wook vaguely woke up.

****

-As you said, moreover.

“I told you. I will make you earn at least three times as much.”

I was lying on the sofa and talking on the phone with my great-grandfather.

As if the profits he had earned this time were quite satisfactory, his voice was full of affection to the point of being excessive.

-hehehe, do you still have no interest in the succession of management rights?

“Little Grandpa.”

I lightly gave him a face mask in a cold voice.

Kim Dong-ho chuckled, saying he had made a mistake, and skipped the topic of conversation.

-So, what are you going to do now?

“What do you mean?”

-Are you pretending not to know? Now that the work has been widened like this, the eyes of the political and financial world will be focused on the four voice actors and Leonplay for a while.

“Well, is there anything else I can do? I just live my life as usual.”

I am sincere.

Although recently, I have had fun while getting involved in big events one after another, but my desire for my ordinary daily life is more sincere than anyone else’s.

Of course, recent events have almost shaken my values a bit.

I even felt a strange sense of pleasure when I crushed the crowns of those who were stretching out as if they were gods holding on to all-out power with a mace.

-As usual? Also, you are saying that you are going to throw away your precious time in the trash by being stuck in a corner of the house.

“Kuhmm… “

This nobleman is quite sharp to the point.

I was embarrassed by the fact-based violence that came in suddenly, and my cough came out.

But this kind of life isn’t too bad either.

-So, are you really happy with your current life as a voice actor?

“Happiness…… ?”

Happiness? Of course not happy

I can’t be happy when I’m living such a comfortable life without worrying about money.

But why can’t I proudly say that I’m happy?

What is happiness in the first place? It’s been a long time since I forgot happiness, so the word ‘happiness’ is a very unfamiliar word to me.

-People meet people, and you have to have a goal to have the driving force to live. If you settle down in reality like you do, you will rot and rot, and you will be no different from a corpse.

Perk seems to have worked well this time, the relationship between my grandfather and I has become quite close.

Although nagging poured out like a storm when I called, the first-time feeling of family affection didn’t come to me badly.

It was annoying, but it was warm.

Of course, this nobleman wants me to participate in the management of the Taewoong Group, so he’s laying the groundwork for me.

“Okay, stop nagging me. Is it okay for a busy person to hold onto the phone for such a long time?”

-Heh heh, if you’re old, stop admonishing and go work, is that what you mean?

“When did you learn mind reading again?”

-Eh tsk. Rotten guy

Fishik-

To be honest, he’s the most communicative guy in this damn house.

I ended the call by exchanging trivial jokes.

After the phone call, I felt a surge of loneliness from an unknown source.

“Is it because you are lonely?”

I glanced around.

A spacious living room, high ceilings, luxurious interiors, and expensive electronics and furniture.

Obviously everything I had hoped for came true, but seeing the empty house made my heart empty.

“It looks lonely after all.”

Now that the economic problem has been solved, it is a problem because you are bored.

If someone hears it, they’ll curse at me for saying I’m full. I agree too.

Anyway, this can’t be the case.

“What do I have to offer?”

Who am I, Sungwoo Kim?

Isn’t it an Internet specter with 25 years of experience as a hikikomori?

If I had to point out one of my strong points, I could confidently open my shoulders and say it.

Aggro dragging. Aggro is one of my biggest strengths.

“X feet.”

As expected, I ate too much.

The best thing I’ve found is attracting aggro. Tears flowed from the grief.

I tried to make one more hobby using my strengths, but only a big cut was left in my chest.

“Let’s watch YouTube.”

If I do, then it is.

I picked up my phone and wandered around looking for videos worth watching, like a stray dog running around looking for food.

There are no videos worth watching today.

While killing time by scrolling down for a while, the title of a video caught my eye.

[ You can do it too if you only pull aggro well? How to become a youtuber with 100,000 subscribers! ]

Aggro? Isn’t aggro my specialty again?

Shooting? Edit? Plan? Public relations?

hahahaha, what are you worried about? There is nothing that cannot be solved with money.

All you have to do is hire a professional and organize it into a team.

Is that all? The advantage of YouTube lies in its overwhelming degree of freedom.

To put it bluntly, isn’t YouTube a place where I can film and post anything I want to do?

Since capital is overflowing, I have more freedom than anyone else when it comes to content planning.

And above all…

“This must be f*cking fun, right?”

The more you imagine, the more interesting it becomes.

Tens of thousands of contents have already started wandering around in my head.

As expected.

“What is the name of the channel?”

I need to open a channel right away.
