Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan

Become Overpowered CEO of Hero Clan – 021

The clan was in chaos.
The leader of Management Team 1 took his employees and left for a sudden business trip to the Dawn Clan in the early morning, claiming to investigate the truth.
The PR team worked hard to boost public opinion in favor of Seo Eun-ha, comforting anxious advertisers.
‘They’ve made their intentions clear. They have.’
While Han Seung-tae belonged to the Dawn Clan, the media and Lexa YouTubers launched a simultaneous attack within a day.
It was a typical pattern of spending money to manipulate people.
Their response to protect the affiliated heroes was slow and inadequate considering the scale and speed of the attack.
‘The dating rumor was just an excuse. This is just about controlling Seo Eun-ha and our clan.’
If Seo Eun-ha really was Han Seung-tae’s lover, they should have protected her from controversy as much as possible. Spreading rumors and gossiping with money won’t do any good.
It seems that the Dawn Clan now considers us their enemies and took the initiative.
The reason for this is… hard to believe, but it seems to be because they failed to recruit Seo Eun-ha.
Sip.
“Ugh.”
The coffee tasted bitter. My stomach was slightly hurting.
No matter how narrow-minded they are, they failed to manipulate the situation behind our backs, and now they’re venting their anger on us.
It’s truly frustrating.
Even if there are hidden intentions beyond my expectations, I’ll find out soon.
The person they appointed from there is coming in almost an hour.

A middle-aged man with a well-built physique and a rugged appearance.
Gu Seung-mok, an executive at the Dawn Clan, was a veteran negotiator who blindly pursued results.
Ever since he became rivals with Seo Dong In, his fellow rookie, through their connection, he quickly seized the position of the leader of the rookie team when Seo Dong In failed to recruit Seo Eun-ha.
It was because a successful outcome in this matter would provide a solid foundation for his promotion to the position of executive director.
‘A young lad who’s good at fighting is just what we need.’
Isaac, the head of the Harmony Clan, had a subpar management side despite being at the borderline of S-rank in combat.
His behavior in the past was like that.
He was just fixated on increasing sales, squeezing the labor of the affiliated heroes and employees day and night, and even internal exposure issues came to light.
It wasn’t until the incident happened that he regained his senses and started working properly, but it was like fixing a barn after the horse has run away.
The public’s attention to the Harmony Clan remained cold, and any slight mistake would make them rush in and tear it apart.
What Director Gu touched upon was precisely that point.
‘It’s easier to push someone to the edge of a cliff.’
Coincidentally, one of the A-class heroes affiliated with the Dawn Clan, Han Seung-tae, showed a keen interest in Seo Eun-ha.
He provocatively induced Han Seung-tae, who was known for his turbulent private life, to approach Seo Eun-ha, collecting evidence of their relationship step by step, or rather, manipulated it.
He instructed a junior employee to take pictures of them together and deliberately created opportunities for Seo Eun-ha and Han Seung-tae to interact by tracking Seo Eun-ha’s movements.
Their feelings didn’t matter at all.
The public is very interested in the provocative private lives of star heroes, and if a romantic scandal involving Seo Eun-ha, who has a clean image, and Han Seung-tae, who has had a few controversies, breaks out, the public will fight, support, and criticize them vigorously.
And everything went exactly as Director Gu had planned.
Seo Eun-ha, who had become Han Seung-tae’s lover overnight, denied the dating rumors, but that too was part of Director Gu’s plan.
He had gathered evidence to prove their relationship and, as soon as Seo Eun-ha made her statement, he presented that evidence.
Seo Eun-ha, who had shared her love with Han Seung-tae, had become the most notorious woman in the world.
Naturally, the Harmony Clan would find it difficult to fully trust her words, and Seo Eun-ha would hope for a new nest where she could be protected and believed without reservation.
If she reaches out for help, she’ll most likely be willing to rely on us.
If Han Seung-tae doesn’t want to go where she’s affiliated, we’ll just have to reject that guy.
Especially since he’s been causing trouble and is likely to be dismissed soon anyway.
“Oh, Mr. Director seems to be very enthusiastic about work. To have such a beautiful lady as your secretary.”
“Ah… Thank you. Please go in.”
Secretary Hwang seemed to sense some hesitation from Director Gu Seung-mok. In response, the director spoke in a friendly manner.
“If you’re ever interested in our side, please feel free to contact us anytime. We happen to have a few openings for secretary positions.”
“Ahaha… Yes.”
Director Gu Seung-mok chuckled at her response. Soon enough, the Harmony Clan would be disbanded, and she would lose her job as well. The director was confident that within six months at most, the attractive secretary before him would contact him at his office number.
Tick.
As expected, the Harmony Clan’s director’s office was cramped. It was about 20 square meters in size, with what seemed to be expensive paintings hanging on the marble floor, suggesting some attention to interior design. He exchanged greetings with Director Isaac, who was sitting leisurely.
Isaac may be a novice in business management, but he had indeed defeated a high-ranking member of DRR in a single blow, proving his formidable strength.
He emitted an unusually peculiar aura.
‘Is he pretending to be relaxed? It could just be a facade learned over his shoulder.’
Eyes that were difficult to read, as if they were empty and impossible to fathom. Even though a director from a major clan had come, he simply nodded arrogantly.
It was as if he had no manners, and the urge to point this out surged within me. However, I couldn’t help but have an uneasy imagination that this person might be a cold-blooded killer who could kill a person without a second thought.
‘Annoying little brat. Just die,’ is how I felt about it.
The leader of the Harmony Clan consistently maintained an attitude of speaking quickly and then leaving, as if he found Director Gu’s words bothersome.
Director Gu momentarily thought about provoking the other party, as he believed that the proposal he brought was inherently provocative.
“Our industry, you see, has a strict senior-junior culture, and we have developed while abiding by ethical standards.”
“……”
“It’s us. We invested a lot of time and money to recruit Seo Eun-ha, and suddenly it all falls apart! We regret not being able to bring in the talent we needed, but it’s because our leader is an extraordinary person.”
Director Gu skillfully led the conversation, as if he were tightrope walking between crossing lines, like a businessman or politician capable of skilled maneuvering in a showdown like a scene from a movie.
“Our leader is very angry. I don’t know how much trouble I’ve gone through to restrain him. He’s telling us to bring her here even if we have to snatch her away from her previous agency, or that he’ll immediately go head-to-head with that director over there. Hehe, ah, just thinking about it at that time…”
“Director.”
Isaac’s low voice interrupted Director Gu’s words. Director Gu couldn’t even sense any annoyance from him.
The penetrating gaze that looked down was eerily emotionless, as if it were observing a war weapon that had been emptied of all emotions.
“……Yes?”
“There’s another appointment. Let’s just keep things simple.”
“…..Ah. Ahaha, yes.”
He was breaking into a cold sweat.
But he still had to say it.
‘He can’t kill me.’
Behind him was the Dawn Clan.
Director Gu steadied his trembling heart and forced a strained smile as he spoke.
“Seo Eun-ha, please hand her over to us. Honestly, aren’t you feeling overwhelmed? The current situation and…”
Director Gu raised his chin slightly and then laughed as he adjusted his tone.
He aimed to make the other party feel psychological pressure as much as possible.
“Please, just let us handle it in front of our director. He’s quite upset. Continually dragging out an apology won’t benefit anyone, especially not our director, don’t you think?”
“Yes, I’ll consider it,” Isaac replied without hesitation.
Director Gu believed that Isaac was backed into a corner, and although he appeared strong on the surface, he suspected that Isaac’s resolve was wavering.
“Yes? Ahaha, well, I’m glad we can communicate. I was worried about how it would go with someone as intimidating as you. Well then, since you mentioned you have another appointment. Oh! I almost forgot to give you my business card. You can contact me through this.”
Having successfully completed his task, Director Gu hurriedly left the Harmony Clan’s headquarters.
He silently complained that he never wanted to come to this ominous place again.

“Annoying.”
A deep sigh escaped.
As expected, the Dawn Clan had decided to mess with us and spread false rumors about our heroes.
Their methods were so clumsy and unrefined that I couldn’t be sure, but when that director came and made an unreasonable proposal, I wanted to point out that this wasn’t proper etiquette.
‘They’ve been doing this kind of thing all along.’
I had to admit, this was a perfect way to shake Seo Eun-ha’s confidence. It was just enough to create suspicion about our side. If we officially denied the dating rumors, it would give the Dawn Clan a reason to explode in anger, claiming our hero was lying. Moreover, the general public, who had already loosened their neutrality gears, had come to perceive Seo Eun-ha as a wicked woman who abandoned Han Seung-tae, the tragic male lead, like a dedicated male servant.
However, if we didn’t respond at all, the controversy would never die down, and Seo Eun-ha would be reevaluated as an untrustworthy agency. I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t even complete the quest.
I would have to make a clear statement, but not go overboard. They had used their head.
‘Well, then I should…’
It wasn’t a divine intervention, but I had to respond at an approximate level.
With the privilege of being a possessor with background knowledge, I had already outlined a general strategy. I searched for a famous club in Gangnam operated by Dawn as its subsidiary on the internet.
[SINABRO]
‘This is it. It sounded like this.’
Little by little, bit by bit, in our mother tongue.
In the Clan of Heroes, the Dawn Clan, the only one among the six clans to fall into corruption, had its image plummet from this club due to drug deals and illegal gambling.
If we could expose this, they would be too busy dealing with the aftermath to pay attention to us.
‘And the owner is Han Seung-tae.’
I had stumbled upon this while researching corporate information earlier. In the company that operates Club SINABRO, ‘Innocence Inc.’, Han Seung-tae’s name was prominently displayed as CEO.
Unfortunately, things fell into place perfectly.
The strategy was set, now all that was left was to execute it.
But before that, we needed to find someone who could help us.
 
“This is annoying.”
A deep sigh escaped.
As expected, the Dawn Clan had purposely spread the dating rumor to provoke us.
Their methods were so clumsy and unrefined that I couldn’t be sure, but when that director came and made an unreasonable proposal, I wanted to point out that this wasn’t proper etiquette.
‘He’s being a nuisance. Just die.’ I thought.
The leader of the Harmony Clan consistently maintained an attitude of speaking quickly and then leaving, as if he found Director Gu’s words bothersome.
Director Gu momentarily thought about provoking the other party, as he believed that the proposal he brought was inherently provocative.
“After all, this side of the industry is strict in terms of seniority, and we have developed while adhering to moral values.”
“……”
“We’re saying that we spent a lot of time and money to recruit Seo Eun-ha, and suddenly it’s all falling apart! We regret not being able to bring in the talent we needed, but that’s because our leader is an extraordinary person.”
Director Gu skillfully led the conversation, as if he were tightrope walking between crossing lines, like a businessman or politician capable of skilled maneuvering in a showdown like a scene from a movie.
“Our leader is very angry. I don’t know how much trouble I’ve gone through to restrain him. He’s telling us to bring her here even if we have to snatch her away from her previous agency, or that he’ll immediately go head-to-head with that director over there. Hehe, ah, just thinking about it at that time…”
“Director.”
Isaac’s low voice interrupted Director Gu’s words. Director Gu couldn’t even sense any annoyance from him.

In any case, the Sunrise Clan’s actions were blatant, and I had to carefully consider how to bring this situation to a happy ending.
The dating rumor involving our affiliated hero. It might seem like a minor gossip on the surface, but it was a suitable tool to shake Seo Eun-ha’s mentality.
If we officially deny the dating rumor on our side, it will give the Dawn side the pretext to explode in anger, saying, “Is our affiliated hero lying?!” And the neutral audience has already perceived Seo Eun-ha as the bad girl who abandoned Han Seung-tae, the male lead, as a jilted lover.
But if we wait without responding, we might end up being reevaluated as an unreliable agency by Seo Eun-ha. I can’t afford to lose the quest just because of that.
So, I can admit that this is a decent strategy. They had me there.
‘Well then, I…’
Not to the extent of divine intervention, but I should at least give them a satisfactory response at an approximate level.
As a privileged background knowledge of a possessed individual, I had already formulated a general strategy, and now I searched the internet for the famous club in Gangnam operated by the Dawn Clan’s subsidiary.
[SINABRO]
“Yes, this is it. It has this feeling.”
Little by little, I had picked up bits and pieces of Korean while investigating corporate information. The turning point where the Dawn Clan, the only one among the six major clans to fall into darkness, began its descent into scandalous territory was when drug deals and illegal gambling took place at this club.
If I expose this, they will be too busy dealing with the situation to bother with us.
“The owner is Han Seung-tae.”
I had stumbled upon this information while researching corporate information before. Han Seung-tae’s name was prominently displayed as the representative of “Inosense,” the company that operates Club SINABRO.
Unfortunately, the trap was neatly set.
The strategy was in place, and now all that remained was to execute it. Before that, however, I needed to find someone who could help us.
