Chapter 461: The Prosecutor's Path

One day, two years later, at the base of the Annihilation Operatives,

Cheers were ringing out.

Looking at the young man standing before them, his chest covered in medals, the team members stepped forward one by one, raising their glasses for a group photo and saying, "Cheese!"

"Cheese!"

With a bright smile, Zhang Cheng also raised his hand to make a victory sign!

Just after the photo was taken, everyone started chatting away.

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Che Taesik asked, "Are you really going to retire from the military?"

"Yes, because I feel I am better suited to be a prosecutor!"

Looking at Che Taesik with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"Hey, you brat, you're so well-suited for the military, why do you have to leave!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a headache, Che Taesik couldn't help but feel distressed.

Because he had been grooming Zhang Cheng as his successor; after he left, Zhang Cheng could have completely replaced him and become the next captain of the Annihilation Operatives!

He could have even climbed higher and gone further by leveraging that status!

But who would have thought this guy would actually choose to retire?

Hearing Che Taesik's words, Zhang Cheng laughed, because even if he were to stay in the military, he couldn't possibly stay here.

"Forget it, it's your life, you should make your own choices!"

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Che Taesik said, "If you have any problems, give me a call!"

"Don't worry, Captain. After I go back, I'll help you take good care of your wife!"

Looking at Che Taesik, who was practically living in the barracks, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What are you saying? Your wife is about to give birth!"

Punching Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Che Taesik couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After leaving the Annihilation Operatives, Zhang Cheng went through the various procedures again.

When he reappeared as a university student, the happiest person wasn't Zhang Cheng, but Moon Dong-eun.

Waiting outside the barracks early in the morning, she was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and a trench coat, showing no fear of the cold.

Watching Zhang Cheng walk out, Moon Dong-eun was just about to run up and hug him when she saw Jiang Enzhu appear, moving even faster than her.

"Oppa, I missed you so much!"

Pouncing on him, Jiang Enzhu shouted directly.

Watching this scene, the soldiers on guard duty were dumbfounded, because they had seen girlfriends come to greet soldiers, but they had never seen two at once!

"Hey, you bitch, Jiang Enzhu, I'm going to kill you!"

Charging forward in anger, Moon Dong-eun immediately roared.

Watching this scene, Sung Deok-sun couldn't help but shout, "Hey, stop fighting, you two!"

"Three?"

With wide eyes, the guards couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were completely stunned.

But just then, even more people appeared.

"Zhang Cheng!"

Pouncing on him happily, Sung Deok-sun couldn't help but get excited.

"Four?"

With his mouth agape in shock, the soldier could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion!

"Alright, alright, can you guys not be like this?"

Pushing the few of them away, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain, his face full of helplessness.

Because he hadn't expected Sung Deok-sun to come and greet him either!

"Let's go eat first? President! What do you think?"

Walking over from the side, Cui Minji asked.

"Fine, let's go eat first?"

Signaling to Cui Minji, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go, Dog Jung-pal, Liu Donglong!"

"Hey, you brat, can't you say something nice? Watch out, or I'll beat you up!"

Kim Jung-hwan, who had already joined the army, became angry upon hearing this.

"Hmm? You have to call me senior!"

Looking at Kim Jung-hwan with a smile, Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Sorry, senior, I was too arrogant!"

Bowing to apologize, Kim Jung-hwan immediately explained.

Hearing Kim Jung-hwan say this, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "I forgive you! Hahaha!"

When he first entered, there were indeed many people who wanted to run wild by relying on their status as seniors.

However, Zhang Cheng had used his ability to "convince people with virtue" to persuade everyone.

After all, they couldn't beat him here, and it would be even worse for them outside!

As for the Annihilation Operatives, that went without saying; everyone was so tired they were panting on the ground every day, while Zhang Cheng could still hum tunes leisurely—who didn't know he was a monster?

Three years later, Gangnam District, Far East Hotel.

Looking at the 237-meter-tall, 59-story building before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Because this was everything he had poured his efforts into for so many years.

Entering the magnificently decorated hotel, he saw the greeters in cheongsams bow immediately and say, "Welcome, President!"

Nodding indifferently, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Sung Deok-sun asked in astonishment, "What did they call you?"

"President? Is that strange?"

Looking at Sung Deok-sun, who seemed to be in another dimension, Zhang Cheng explained.

"No, this hotel?"

Covering her mouth, Sung Deok-sun was instantly stunned.

"This is my hotel, is there a problem?"

Looking at Sung Deok-sun with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng asked.

"Hey, how is this possible? How could you be the president of the Far East Group?"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng, Sung Deok-sun was immediately stunned.

"I'm not just the president of the Far East Group, I'm also the president of the Far East Seoul Bank!"

Squinting his eyes, Zhang Cheng joked.

Because that one trillion from back then had long since been laundered by Zhang Cheng and invested here.

However, it was under the guise of a loan that the establishment of the Far East Seoul Bank was facilitated.

For this, Zhang Cheng even went as far as signing an agreement with Chen Yangzhe, which was to use the other party's influence to reach a compromise with those above!

But Zhang Cheng could not inherit Soonyang!

As for why this agreement existed, it was because Chen Yangzhe saw that Zhang Cheng's ambition was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Back then, he hadn't realized that Zhang Cheng would build the tallest building in the Gangnam District!

The original 20 billion hotel plan was forced by Zhang Cheng into 100 billion.

Besides the hotel, it even included bars, entertainment, and even card games.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Cheng had turned the entire Far East Hotel into a New Lisboa!

Although there were orders from above, for every high wall, there is a ladder—that was his network of connections!

After establishing the Far East Seoul Bank, Zhang Cheng hadn't squandered much, but to ensure his own interests, he accepted it all!

After all, once his network of interests was formed, it wouldn't be up to just anyone to decide!

As for not inheriting the Soonyang Group, that was even more of a joke, because Zhang Cheng had always intended to seize the Soonyang Group, not inherit it!

Standing before the banquet table on the top floor, Zhang Cheng raised his glass and said, "Celebrating that everyone could come! I toast you all!"

"Cheers!"

Raising their glasses, everyone smiled.

Standing in shock before the floor-to-ceiling window, Sung Deok-sun looked into the distance and said, "Is this place really this high?"

"Yes, only by standing high can you see far!"

Looking at Hancheng in the distance, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Because in the next phase, his desire for money would turn into a plunder for power!

However, the judicial exam was still a very difficult problem!

After all, being able to become a prosecutor on the peninsula meant you had already surpassed 98% of the people!

As for the remaining 2%, they were either chaebols or your superiors!

So how do you reach the peak? It's simple: deal with them, and go up yourself!

Raising his glass, Zhang Cheng looked into the distance with a smile, his eyes flickering.

He had passed the first stage perfectly; although there were some small flaws, he hoped the days ahead wouldn't be too boring!
