Daejeon Town?
Han Xiuhui placed the mobile map in front of Bai Ye, who glanced at it. Daejeon Town was only about a hundred kilometers south of Seoul, which was quite close for Bai Ye.
"Don't worry, Bai Ye Oppa. We've already sent people to investigate, and we'll have the specific information soon," Han Xiuhui said with a joyful smile, clinking glasses with Bai Ye.
Han Jae-in, seeing his daughter's closeness with Bai Ye, beamed with satisfaction.
He said happily, "Even if they refuse to come out, the cleanup of these three chaebols will not be affected! So, Mr. Bai, please enjoy your stay in our Hanguk."
"If you're interested, let Xiuhui show you the sights of our Hanguk!"
Han Xiuhui smiled happily, listing several fun and interesting places, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
Bai Ye just smiled and nodded. To be honest, he wasn't particularly interested in the scenery or culture of Hanguk. Every landscape and cultural aspect seemed to echo the Great Xia. If he really wanted to see such things, he might as well return home, where the charm was truly deep-rooted.
"Mr. Bai, I'll toast to you, wishing our friendship eternal!"
"Welcome, Bai Ye Oppa, to our Hanguk!!"
The banquet was filled with clinking glasses and constant laughter. The council members, who had faced near-death experiences that day and were still shaken, suppressed their fear and came forward with forced smiles to toast Bai Ye, apologize, and curry favor.
Meanwhile, other elites and nobles fortunate enough to attend the banquet watched with curiosity as such a young person as Bai Ye was so grandly entertained by so many council members, even the presidential family.
Who was this guy, really?
The noble ladies, aware of Bai Ye's distinguished identity and his youth and handsomeness, were instantly captivated, their hearts stirred...
In Daejeon Town, a manor was situated on a large mountain on the southern border of the small town.
The chairmen of Hanguk's Samsung, LG, and Hyundai chaebols had fled here to lie low.
Sensing that Bai Ye would come directly for them after arriving in Seoul, they had hidden here to avoid the storm.
As for their family members and confidantes within the corporate chaebols, they had made contingency plans. If the Hanguk authorities arrested them, they had many ways to safely retrieve them in a short period.
For example, legal teams, internal military and police personnel...
However, they had miscalculated Bai Ye's capabilities. Bai Ye's methods were far beyond conventional human means...
Reasoning with him was futile without evidence, and they couldn't defeat him if they resorted to force!
"What? They, they just disappeared?"
"Dozens of people vanished into thin air? What kind of joke is this?"
"Sitting in their offices, walking on the street... they all suddenly disappeared? Are you sure they weren't kidnapped or taken by officials?"
In a luxurious private room of the manor, the three chairmen were savoring fine wine while making arrangements. Upon receiving the bad news from their respective headquarters, they all lost their composure.
"Damn it! Magic, pfft! It must be that bastard Bai Ye's sorcery!"
"It's certain. Only he could take away so many people without a sound!"
"Taking our people must mean they're targeting our corporations. Han Jae-in, so that kid is making a move too. Why didn't those council members stop them or hold them back?"
The LG and Hyundai chaebol chairmen were the most anxious, while the Samsung chairman remained relatively calm, though his expression was grim.
"No. If this continues, the efforts of our generations will be lost." The LG chaebol chairman stood up in a panic, and the Hyundai chairman also became restless.
"Going back now is no different from seeking death," the Samsung chairman warned gravely.
"Then what should we do? Watch our ancestral businesses be destroyed like this?" the LG chairman exclaimed. "Samsung Group is also your life's work!"
Chairman Lee of Samsung shot him a fierce glance and said, "Now, we can only wait for the Western delegation to arrive and combine our forces to deal with him."
"How much longer? It's already dark, and I don't see them." The LG chairman, chastened by Chairman Lee's glare, restrained himself somewhat, but his voice was still loud.
"They have already arrived in Daejeon Town."
As soon as Chairman Samsung finished speaking, an attendant in a suit hurried over. "Chairman, the representatives have arrived."
The eyes of the three chaebol chairmen lit up.
"Quick, invite them in."
The attendant in the suit obeyed and ran off. Soon, footsteps could be heard from outside the reception room.
Several groups of Westerners with blonde hair and blue eyes entered the private room in succession, and the three chaebol chairmen hurried to greet them.
"Hahaha~ Chairman Lee, Chairman Gu, Chairman Jung, my old friends, it's been a long time!"
