Chapter 198: <Control>
Woosung murmured as he stared at the screen, “Little fishes can’t win against the whale.”
Woosung raised the bitcoin price to 10,000 dollars, then sold off quickly which dropped the price to 3000 dollars. He then purchased them back at 3000 dollars.
Woosung made a 7000-dollar profit per coin and accumulated even more bitcoins. He now owned 70% of the bitcoins in the world, but no one knew about it. All his coins were divided into countless different wallets.
Woosung logged onto the CCTVs at Bit Trading. These CCTVs were originally installed to monitor workers, but for Woosung, it was to monitor Choi Gichul.
Woosung murmured, “He is in shock.”
Choi Gichul was staring at the screen with his mouth wide open. Woosung loved this situation.
“Bastard! This is only the beginning for you.”
Woosung knew Choi Gichul will ask Jung Jinsup again to pause Bit Trading transactions to make up for the losses. However, Woosung planned on stopping it from happening. He would make Choi Gichul lose all his money. Woosung also planned to make Choi Gichul borrow from his rich friends.
Woosung grabbed his coat. It was time to attend the KYLO meeting.

People stared as Woosung entered. Shin Semi was no exception. She waved at him, but Woosung was not looking her way.
As usual, Woosung was swarmed by everyone. Woosung talked to the group with an easy manner.
“Haha, I am investing in bitcoins too.”
“So you think it has a good outlook?”
“Well, I guess so.”
People listened carefully to Woosung’s every word.
They started to talk among themselves.
“Hey, didn’t Choi Gichul ask us to invest in bitcoins with him?”
“That’s right!”
“Did you do it?”
“No, I just told him I’ll think about it.”
“I invested only a little. I wonder if I should go in more.”
Choi Gichul must have asked everyone in the room.
One man asked Woosung, “Does this mean you will go ahead with investing in relevant businesses?”
“Cryptocurrency’s growth rate will slow down at some point, so I am focusing more on other financial sectors.”
Suddenly, Shin Semi grabbed Woosung’s arm. “Can we talk in private?”
“Is it something you can’t talk about here?”
Shin Semi whispered to him, “Then can you tell everyone why you are talking about bitcoins out of the blue?”
Woosung frowned and followed her. The others who tried to follow them were stopped by Woosung’s bodyguards. The KYLO rule stated no individual could bring his or her personal bodyguards, but no one complained.
In a private room, Shin Semi said to Woosung, “I see that you came here today to talk about bitcoins.”
Woosung stared at Shin Semi.
Shin Semi continued, “You don’t do anything without a clear purpose.”
Woosung was shocked at Shin Semi’s keen observation, but he hid his surprise.
He asked instead, “What is it that you want to tell me?”
“What can you promise for Nuri Finances’ future? What kind of guarantees can you provide?”
“Nuri will probably have a decent future.”
“BNP, Nomura, ICBC, and now JP. You are ‘partnering’ with everyone.” Shin Semi bit her lips and continued, “I realize that these institutions are bigger and better than my company, that is why I need to know. Is Nuri Finances over?”
Woosung smirked and asked, “And if I say yes, will you leave KND’s circle?”
“No. The company will remain under your power. It would be better to be under your thumb than be alone and exposed in this industry.”
“Did your father approve this as well?”
“Yes. He wanted to let you know in person, but your phone number has changed.”
Woosung sat down and replied, “010-XXXX-XXXX. It’s my new number. He can call me anytime.”
Shin Semi sighed deeply.
Woosung continued, “Is that it?”
“Why are you telling people to invest in bitcoins?”
Thankfully, it seemed Shin Semi didn’t realize Woosung’s connection to Choi Gichul. Woosung stood up.
“Let’s talk about that later. I still have a few things to do right now.”
Shin Semi stood up as well. She realized Woosung was too far gone from her. He was also too big now. Big enough to close down Nuri Finances if he wanted.

After leaving the KYLO party, Woosung met with various deans from world-famous colleges.
Harvard.
Stanford.
MIT.
The deans sat around Woosung.
Woosung said to them, “Let’s start with 100 million dollars.”
The deans glanced at each other.
“500 million dollars.”
The men flinched.
“1 billion dollars.”
The donation amount reached a billion dollars.
The dean of Stanford University said to Woosung nervously, “Sir, we cannot accept a student based on donations alone, even if it is a large sum of money.”
Woosung replied, “2 billion dollars.”
The three deans trembled. It was more than the three schools received in a year. The deans kept glancing at each other. They all seemed to want to raise their hands.
Woosung continued slowly, “And I will donate this amount every year for the next 5 years.”
MIT’s dean quickly raised his hand first. The other two deans did the same, but it was too late. Woosung turned to MIT’s dean and shook his hand.
“Thank you.”
“No, thank you!”
“Let’s work together to make MIT the best school in the world.”
The other two deans frowned unhappily.
“Yes, sir. I will create the new school policy so your students can be accepted to our school ASAP.”
***
Woosung met with Suk Jinmyung. “MIT has agreed to accept them. Full scholarships for the next 4 years plus post-graduate program for free. The only thing left is for your children to work hard.”
Suk Jinmyung nodded. “Thank you.”
“And until they graduate, I will provide them with a 24/7 security team, though it won’t be necessary once Daeyang gets destroyed.”
Suk Jinmyung said again, “Thank you.”
“Then the only thing left for us to do is to destroy Choi Taemin.”
Suk Jinmyung nodded.
Woosung continued, “I read over the documents you brought. They were filled with clear proofs enough to send Choi Taemin to jail.”
Suk Jinmyung lowered his voice and replied, “You need to always be careful. Choi Taemin is crazy. You never know what he’ll do. Even if Daeyang goes down, he will try to do something.”
Woosung didn’t seem worried.
He answered, “Where do you think his power comes from?”
“Money.”
“Exactly. I agree. That is why we will take away all his money.”
“I’m sure you’ll do great, but I can’t help but be worried.”
“Don’t worry. I will take care of him.”
***
Choi Taemin was unhappy.
He could feel something bad was going to happen. When he arrived at his office, there was an envelope on his desk.
“Resignation letter?”
It was from Suk Jinmyung.
“That bastard.”
Choi Taemin couldn’t believe it. He called the head of the security team. The explanation he got was unacceptable.
“What? He’s not home? Then find him!”
Suddenly, Choi Taemin realized something.
“It can’t be…”
He unlocked his safe and checked his accounts for his secret funds. Thankfully, everything was there.
“But what if he copied these…”
