Choi Minwook Pov

After leaving Choi Dalcheon with the offer to contact him if he wished to join Castle Holdings, Choi Minwook made his way to Castle Hotel. As soon as he arrived, Ma Joonyoung greeted him with deep respect.

"How have you been, sir?" Ma Joonyoung asked, bowing slightly. "I, foolish Ma Joonyoung, finally have the honor of seeing you in person."

Minwook smiled faintly and pulled him into a brief hug. "Well done, Joonyoung," he said, his voice steady with approval.

They moved inside, joining Ma Hakyoung and Cheon Ildo at a secluded table. The conversation quickly shifted to the rising threat of Kim Shin.

"Kim Shin will eventually turn his knife on us" Ma Hakyoung stated firmly, his tone icy. 

Cheon Ildo leaned forward, nodding in agreement. "There are no witnesses left who can confirm Kim Shin was the one who took down Baek Dochan. And now that Hwajin Planning has wrapped up their war in Hong Kong, they might start making their move."

Choi Minwook remained calm, his eyes calculating. "Youngsters need to be reminded of their place from time to time," he said coldly. Without hesitation, he pressed a button on the table, calling Lee Heeseung, his chief secretary.

 Minwook Says. "Prepare the underground facilities for the exchange," he ordered.

Turning back to the others, Minwook's gaze sharpened. "Let's see who's the cat, and who's the tiger."

------------------------------------

A few days later, Choi Minwook heard a knock on his office door. Without looking up, he said, "Come in."

Lee Heeseung entered with a slight bow. "Chairman, I have something important to report."

Minwook glanced at him and replied, "What is it?"

"Director Jung of JH Group called," Heeseung began, "and said their chairman would like to have a meeting with you next Monday at 2 p.m."

"JH Group's chairman wants to meet with me?" Minwook repeated, his voice carrying a hint of surprise and curiosity.

"Yes, Chairman," Lee Heeseung confirmed.

After a brief pause, Minwook's expression shifted, calculating. "Tell them we can make that happen."

"Understood, Chairman," Lee Heeseung replied, bowing again before leaving the room to confirm the meeting.

Left alone, Minwook leaned back in his chair, his mind racing. The JH Group chairman… Why would someone so elusive and powerful want to meet with me?

After a moment, a faint smile tugged at his lips. It doesn't matter. This could be an opportunity to forge a connection with one of the most influential men on the planet.

He stood up, glancing out the window at the city below. Well, it looks like there's much to prepare.
