Four years later

In the grand expanse of a towering building, owned by one of South Korea's most formidable conglomerates, the click-clack of expensive shoes echoed across the marble floors. Leading this parade of wealth was a young man, his silhouette draped in an extravagant Versace suit, his sleek raven hair tied into a stylish bun. None other than the youngest billionaire CEO in South Korea, he exuded an aura of charisma, his icy composure only serving to enhance his already striking features.

With an air of effortless elegance, he strode forward, hands casually tucked into his pockets, flanked by his loyal secretary and a group of sturdy bodyguards. Their presence spoke volumes of his stature and influence within the business world.

As they approached the bustling conference room, where a throng of reporters awaited, he turned to his secretary with a decisive command, "Let's keep it strictly business; no personal inquiries from the press. And ensure every media outlet dedicates the next 24 hours to broadcasting our latest endeavor exclusively. Decline any collaboration offers from those who turned HLH down."

With a nod of understanding, his secretary relayed the instructions to the directors. With a firm demeanor, the young CEO strides forward, the grand door of the conference room swung open by his personal guard.

As he stepped into the conference room, the anticipation that hung heavy in the air suddenly erupted into a whirlwind of bustling energy. Camera flashes flickered incessantly, and the room buzzed with the excited chatter of reporters vying for attention. Amidst the chaos, the ravenette made his way to the podium and took his seat.

With the microphone already in place on the table, he leaned in closer before addressing the crowd, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." The response was immediate, a chorus of "Good morning, Mr. Hwang" echoing throughout the room.

Settling into his seat, he prepared to address the eager reporters gathered before him.

Suddenly, an abrupt interruption pierced the air as one of the reporters stood up and posed a question, "Mr. Hwang, is it true that your father's former secretary sold pharmaceutical ingredients to Japan's mafia and substituted them with lower quality ones for medical purposes?"

With a calm demeanor and a stoic expression, the ravenette replied, "Unfortunately, yes. Kim Ki Jung, my father's former secretary, is currently serving time in jail for rape and murder, and he has already been sentenced to death, so there is no need for further legal action."

There was an evident sense of regret in the younger's voice as he continued, "However, we deeply regret the incident. Elixir Pharmaceuticals has always prided itself on integrity, and we acknowledge that we have let down our loyal customers. We are working tirelessly to regain their trust and restore our reputation."

Turning to address the matter of the mafia involvement, he revealed, "As for the mafia involvement, it took us a few years to track them down, but we finally caught the perpetrators. They are currently being extradited to Japan's central jail to face justice." With a subtle gesture, he continued, "If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask."
