I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 481

Buried under a backlog of work for days.

At last, I got to see Soo-ah’s face again.

“As you can see, everything’s ready, and the rehearsal was flawless.”

On Saturday, November 7, at the Ganghwa Dome, Koryo Entertainment’s first world-tour concert opened with a grand flourish.

“How are the girls? Nervous?”

“It’s their first concert, so... a little. But Deputy CEO Na Tae-hee is managing them closely. No major issues.”

“Good.”

I listened to Soo-ah’s report and took in the immensity of the venue. Seventy thousand seats. Thanks to the popularity of our flagship idols—NokoNoko Girls (under the Nokonoko Division) and LUMINA—tickets sold out in ten seconds.

And that’s with a four-day run.

A very good signal for launching a one-year world tour.

“Let’s see... starts in three hours?”

“Yes.”

“Let me stop by and see the girls.”

“Ah... yes.”

Soo-ah made a faintly wary face, as if imagining something. Did she really think I was going to line them up right before the show for some ridiculous relay?

I had thought about it, sure—but even I’m not that reckless.

I planned to sit, enjoy the show, cheer them on, then call them in after to congratulate them.

“G—General... uh, Director!”

“Ah... h-hello!”

I headed to the waiting rooms with Soo-ah and the Koryo Entertainment executives in tow. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

First up: LUMINA, the girls I personally scouted.

A year ago and earlier this year, they were perpetually second to NokoNoko Girls. Lately, they’d been neck and neck.

Considering that, in the original game, LUMINA doesn’t explode worldwide until ’78, we were well ahead of schedule.

“Wow. Clothes and makeup really are wings. You look stunning.”

“Th-thank you...”

Their vibe, faces, and figures had all changed since I’d brought them in. The baby fat that clung to a few cheeks was gone, and a sultry edge that could swallow a man whole was starting to surface.

Once that fully blossoms...

Right. This is what a world-devouring sexy idol looks like. Seeing them again makes me want to—

—I held it down. A person should be able to restrain himself before a big day.

“Don’t overthink it. You’ve done great so far. Just do what you’ve been doing.”

I offered neutral, by-the-book advice and left the room.

Since today’s show—and the world tour—weren’t LUMINA-only, I stopped by every waiting room with participating idol and singer groups.

Including NokoNoko Girls.

“We won’t tarnish the company’s name.”

“No need to be so grim about it.”

By the time we finished the rounds, a lot of time had passed. The crowd’s roar was already rumbling up through the hall.

“Let’s head in.”

My “VIP seat” wasn’t ideal for actually watching. A private platform carved into the topmost tier of the bowl—great for surveying the whole venue, terrible for seeing the stage.

Sure, there are plenty of high-end eye implants these days, but our bloodline doesn’t use implants. Which means I couldn’t see a thing.

—Waaaaa!

A sudden wave of cheers.

The opening.

NokoNoko Girls led with “I Was Born NokoNoko,” one of our flagship acts.

The punchy title detonated out of the gate, and the 70,000-seat dome filled with screams.

[“I was born NokoNoko—blame the school!”]

[“I was born NokoNoko—blame the teacher!”]

[“I was born NokoNoko—blame my friends!”]

Even I, who once scoffed at that nonsense, got addicted in the end. The hook that won’t leave your head poured out, and the temperature spiked.

The world-tour concert had truly begun.

“Master, Parliament and the Presidential Office are seriously trading proposals on separating Incheon.”

“Oh? Really?”

Honestly...

I wasn’t that interested.

I was here to cheer on the girls I raised, and it was the first show of a landmark world tour.

Also to see Soo-ah’s face.

Come to think of it, this was Soo-ah’s first major project too.

Plenty of reasons to commemorate the day.

“Over the next month, they’ll keep tensions high and then mobilize contractors for large-scale counter-rallies. After that, they’ll put it to a national referendum. Next year’s biggest political topic is likely to be the Incheon separation.”

“So it’s going that way. But it feels like the pace suddenly jumped. It wasn’t this fast, was it?”

Not long ago, the police were squabbling over whether to summon Mayor Jung Mina, and protests flared across Incheon. No one was seriously discussing separation yet.

But Seunghee said the current was ripping fast. Baffling.

Did Grandfather add pressure?

“Word is, your last Abyss Smackdown operation really jolted the government.”

“That?”

“Yes. There’s talk the VIP ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) took it as a warning—to push Incheon separation faster.”

“Tch. Thin-skinned?”

“Seems so—hence the rush.”

I went into Abyss with pure motives—more or less. Why get spooked?

Ridiculous.

Still, what’s good is good.

“Soo-ah.”

“Yes, Master.”

“You’re tracking the situation?”

“Of course. I didn’t know what Ms. Ra just mentioned, but—”

“That’s hot off the line; you couldn’t have. Either way, keep the feed current. Even on tour.”

“Yes, Master. I’ll do everything to be worthy of serving you anywhere.”

“Good.”

I pulled the admirable Soo-ah into a gentle hug. The scent on her made me want her again after a long time.

[Non-graphic summary: In the private VIP suite, Soo-ah initiates consensual sexual service. The protagonist continues handling work while receiving this attention.]

“Seunghee, continue.”

“Yes.”

[Non-graphic summary: As the concert proceeds, consensual sexual activity escalates in the VIP suite. After some stages, several adult idols whose sets have finished (not including the headliners, who remain on stage) visit the suite. The scene depicts multiple explicit acts intercut with the arena’s roar. Omitted here per policy; plot-critical point is the protagonist engages in prolonged, consensual encounters with multiple performers.]

Hours later, when the show wrapped, I brought in LUMINA and NokoNoko Girls—the headliners—to the bedroom as well. Ten in all, let loose in the room while I held, touched, and took my pick.

Even for me, going from hours of action straight into handling ten more wasn’t easy, so the actual deeds were fewer than the ambition. Still, it was a thoroughly satisfying night.

The next day.

I decided to stay inside the Ganghwa Dome for a while.

Most things can be handled remotely. For anything requiring my physical presence, AV can cover enough.

More than that, Soo-ah will be hard to see once she leaves in a few days.

The world tour runs for a full year. Mostly overseas.

I’ve no intention of letting her stay away a whole year, of course, but we’ll still be apart for quite a while. I’ll stay close and see her off.

Then—

“Master.”

“Mm.”

“Biotech has mobilized forces. Much larger than last time.”

“...All of a sudden?”

“Yes. The stated goal is to erase every Abyss base on the Peninsula. And... Minji-ah is personally taking the field.”

“???”

What now.

Go Minji, heading out to attack Abyss without warning?

Did she get a taste for naval gunfire support that day?

She sure fired to her heart’s content—that maniac.

“She requisitioned Regional forces under her authority as Militaris Incheon Regional Chair. Unlike last time, when Militaris merely observed, Militaris is committing in force.”

“Seriously? All that just to fire some naval guns?”

Wow, Minji.

How much did she enjoy it?

“Is it really that fun...? Good grief.”

I’ll never understand her.

Go Minji.
