"The conglomerates are the product of capital. Since its inception, every pore of capital has flowed with the blood of sin. Especially in a country like South Korea, where conglomerates wield influence in every aspect, beneath the facade of prosperity lies an unimaginable darkness! Hence, those who harbor hatred towards conglomerates are not few in number! However, most people merely vent their frustrations verbally, lacking the power to confront the conglomerates. Very few actually take action. Many conglomerates wouldn't tolerate such individuals; they'd cut off any potential threat!

A sleek black sedan halted by the street, carrying Alejandro and the mother-daughter duo, Jin Soo-ya and Jin Ji-ya.

"Master, is such a person truly existent?" Jin Ji-ya curiously glanced out the window.

"Do you remember what kind of company Park Hyun-won mainly operates?" He smiled, asking.

"Um, I remember it's in the construction industry?" Jin Ji-ya's memory served her well as she promptly responded.

"Correct!" Alejandro nodded. "If other industries are merely sinful, then the construction industry harbors sin within sin!"

He squinted. "To enter this industry, one must not only have good relations with the authorities but also deal with both legal and illegal matters. Most importantly, it's a sector directly facing the public!"

There's only one reason for this: demolition!

Demolition has always been a daunting task in the construction industry; squatters like nail households are ubiquitous in every country. In the past, Alejandro had heard plenty of news about violent demolitions in the United States. In South Korea, under the overbearing influence of conglomerates, such occurrences were even more rampant and audacious!

"He's coming out!" Alejandro spoke softly.

The Jin sisters' eyes flickered, following his gaze.

They saw an elderly man with white hair, appearing frail, walking out of a nearby residential building, dropping a bag of trash before slowly returning.

"Master, is that the person you spoke of?" Jin Ji-ya widened her eyes in disbelief!

This old man must be in his seventies or eighties, she thought. It's hard to imagine him committing murder; he might collapse from exhaustion just by taking a few extra steps!

"That's him!" Alejandro nodded, looking at Jin Soo-ya.

She immediately retrieved a dossier and read aloud, "Kim Dae-ji, currently aged forty-nine, a retired soldier from South Korea who underwent rigorous training. After his wife's death, he lived separately from his daughter's family. Three years ago, the residence where his daughter lived was demolished, and in order to demand more compensation, he became a nail household. But one night, the building suddenly caught fire, and his daughter's family perished in the flames, none survived! And the company responsible for the demolition at that time was under Park Hyun-won!"

Even a demon would involuntarily gasp at such news!

Jin Ji-ya couldn't fathom the extent of pain and torment that would cause a person not yet fifty to appear as aged as seventy or eighty!

"How ruthless!" she couldn't help but comment.

"More importantly, after his daughter's family died, Kim Dae-ji never gave up investigating. Just half a year ago, he sold his own house and used all the money to rent a place in the city center!"

"He's been living there ever since!" Jin Soo-ya finished reading the dossier.

Jin Ji-ya was a bit confused, "But Master, why would he choose to live here?" For ordinary people, even renting a house in the city center would be a huge burden due to exorbitant prices!

"Look over there!" Alejandro nodded toward a nearby location.

She turned to see a high-end office building not far away, where impeccably dressed urban professionals were coming and going!

"That's the headquarters of Park Hyun-won's construction company!" he explained succinctly.

"In other words, he's been plotting revenge in secret?!" Jin Ji-ya's face was full of astonishment!

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined such a twist!

Even more surprising was Alejandro's ability to find such a suitable candidate amidst the sea of people!

A former soldier with unwavering determination!

Harboring deep enmity towards Park Hyun-won, he's relentless!

Appearing elderly and frail, he wouldn't attract anyone's attention!

He's simply the perfect candidate for the job!

"I'm surprised too, but all I can say is, even heaven couldn't bear to watch anymore!" Alejandro smiled faintly.

Although she couldn't openly assist, Park Hyun-won had secretly provided Alejandro with detailed information about Park Hyun-won, including these victims!

During the selection process, relying on the intuition of a policeman, Lee Ji-hoon immediately singled out Kim Dae-ji!

"But how do we proceed?" Jin Ji-ya blinked. "If he's been lurking for half a year without finding an opportunity, it means Park Hyun-won takes his safety very seriously. It's hard to find an opening in a short time, isn't it?"

"This will fall on another person!" Alejandro pulled out a photo from the dossier.

It depicted a charming and voluptuous woman, with an especially eye-catching pair of "headlights" on her chest!

"Rumor has it that Park Hyun-won harbors a perverse desire for control over his ex-wife!"

"That's our loophole!"

The information collected by Park Hyun-jung was extremely detailed. Among them was a semi-public characteristic of Park Hyun-won, which was his extremely strong desire for control over his wife. It was precisely because of this that his wife eventually chose to divorce him! Of course, they are still in the process of separation and haven't announced it publicly yet. After all, for conglomerates, divorce is much more troublesome than for ordinary people, and it's normal for it to drag on for several years! Although in fact, they have already divorced. But Park Hyun-won, with a strong sense of self-esteem, chose to conceal this information from the public! Perhaps it was because his wife appeared too charming. Alejandro had seen many beautiful women, each with a different temperament—Jin Soo-ya was seductive, Jin Ji-ya was innocent, Choi Ju-hyeon had a contrasting aura, and Park Hyun-jung was an ice queen, etc. However, Park Hyun-won's wife gave him the feeling of being enchanting! It was the kind of fairy that would steal men's hearts the moment she appeared, like those described in folk tales! Just one glance from her could captivate souls! Typically, such women are described as fox spirits! She was no less enchanting than Jin Ji-ya and others. Alejandro could only say that it was worthy of being the young master of a conglomerate; his taste was evident here!

"Then, let the plan begin!" A smirk played on his lips as he stepped out of the car. Meanwhile, Jin Ji-ya and Jin Soo-ya, following his orders, began to take action.

Inside the room, unbeknownst to anyone, after Kim Dae-ji had disposed of the trash, he returned to the room and went straight to the balcony, sitting down in a chair. The curtains were tightly drawn here, with only a small gap left for a high-powered telescope! He was fixed on the direction of Park Hyun-won's company, closely observing every move. Beside him was a notebook filled with densely packed notes, which Kim Dae-ji would pick up from time to time to add new information. As a former soldier, his patience and execution were far superior to ordinary people's! Perhaps Park Hyun-won himself didn't know that someone was watching his every move so closely in secret!

"Still no opportunity!" After watching for a while, Kim Dae-ji sighed in disappointment, rubbing his eyes and leaning back in his chair. He casually picked up a photo frame nearby. Inside was a happy family photo. Unfortunately, now only he, an old man on the brink of death, remained. Yes, not long ago, he was diagnosed with cancer! Therefore, with only a few moments left in his life, the only thing that mattered to him was revenge! He wanted to send that damned guy to hell to repent for his actions! But he still hadn't found the right opportunity! Park Hyun-won was very cautious. He always had bodyguards with him when he went out, the car windows were bulletproof, and the company was not something he could just enter and exit casually. Everywhere was monitored by surveillance cameras; it was impossible to sneak in! Except for the company, he was always at home! There were no other habits like going to bars or nightclubs, making his life stiflingly regular! If an ordinary person encountered this situation, they would probably have given up long ago. However, Kim Dae-ji was still seeking an opportunity!

Ding dong! Suddenly, the doorbell rang. He walked over and opened the door, but there was nothing there. Only a inconspicuous little note was left on the ground. "Three o'clock, Splendid Square!" It was vague, but Kim Dae-ji was suddenly shocked, his face quickly changing from cloudy to clear. After a while, a determined look appeared in his eyes. He closed the door, changed into his outdoor clothes, and took out a small box from under the bed. After opening it, there was a gun he had assembled himself inside! As he touched the cold barrel, he felt the surging desire to kill inside him, uncontrollable!

On the other side, in a mall near Splendid Square, Alejandro walked on the third floor, with luxury brand counters on both sides. Outside a luxury store, three bodyguards stood guarding the entrance, watching every passerby. Inside, Park Hyun-won's ex-wife, no, she should be called his ex-wife now, Lee Min-jung, was trying on clothes from the latest season.

The life of a conglomerate's wife was so dull and boring. All she needed to do every day was to take care of herself meticulously and then go shopping!

"The real thing is even more outstanding than the photo!" Alejandro smiled. A hint of purple flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, suddenly my stomach hurts!" One of the bodyguards suddenly changed his face, clutching his stomach and running to the restroom.

"I'll go take care of it. You guys keep an eye out!" He hurriedly left.

The other two didn't pay it much mind, but then Alejandro lightly snapped his fingers! "Xi Ba, my stomach is also hurting!"

"Mine too, it must be something we ate!" The remaining two bodyguards grinned, feeling the urge to rush to the restroom. Since it would only take a moment to use the restroom, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

In the blink of an eye, the three bodyguards disappeared completely. Only then did Alejandro straighten his clothes and walk into the clothing store.

"I want all of these wrapped up for me!" Walking into the store, he happened to see Lee Min-jung directing the store clerk to pack up some clothes.

"Wife, can you help me try on some clothes?" he walked up with a smile, speaking. The extraordinary charm that was usually hidden was now fully unleashed, along with the ability to manipulate desire! In an instant, he seemed to glow in Lee Min-jung's eyes! Normally, she would have firmly refused such an unreasonable request, but at this moment, she felt her heart skip a beat! Oh no, it's the feeling of being smitten!

"So handsome!!!" Two female store clerks beside them exclaimed, their eyes turning into stars!

"Mmm~" Lee Min-jung couldn't believe that such a seductive voice came from her own mouth, her cheeks flushing with a blush! It's just trying on clothes, it's okay! She reassured herself in her heart.

"What clothes do you want to try on?" Lee Min-jung asked sweetly.

"Of course, it's underwear!" Alejandro smirked, revealing an evil smile. "Madam, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"
