The atmosphere inside the room tensed up right after Su Gyeom screamed at Minchul.
Su Gyeom glared fiercely at Minchul and said rudely, "What are you doing here? Are you here to watch me making a fool of myself? Get lost! Get lost now or else..."
"Or else what?" Minchul mockingly interrupted Su Gyeom. Under Su Gyeom's wide open gaze, Minchul slowly walked toward him. "Su Gyeom, with your current state, I'm afraid you can't even fight against a frail young lady."
As Minchul was saying this, he deliberately paused. He discreetly sized Su Gyeom's somewhat awkward hand up before he smirked, "Oh, I've forgotten. Su Gyeom, the reason you end up like this is because you've been struck by a young lady. I'm sorry for not putting it in the right words."
"You...! Minchul! How dare you speak to me like this?!" Su Gyeom's expression turned dark, and he looked at him with a bone-chilling gaze.
Minchul snorted. Instead of his usual gentle and elegant appearance, there was a hint of sinister and mockery showing up on his face. "Why not?"
"You...!" Su Gyeom was so angry that he felt like he was suffering from a stroke. The way he glared at Minchul was akin to a man-eater. "Minchul, how dare you treat me with such an attitude?! Don't forget that you are only an illegitimate child from a lowly, despicable mistress! You're just a rat that only deserves to live in a dark place like a sewer. Don't be so smug about yourself! Do you really think that Grandpa is showing his mercy to you by allowing you to work in Kim Enterprise is equivalent to acknowledging you?! Dream on, idiot!"

As Su Gyeom was saying this, his expression contorted immediately into savagery. "Minchul, let me tell you, you are forever an illegitimate child and will never ever be acknowledged as the official grandson of the Kim family. Just like a rat, you should just stay quietly inside the dark sewer and not run under the sun. I swear that if you dare to speak another word to me like this, I'll ask Grandpa to kick you out of the company tomorrow and make you end up like a street rat just like your father!"
Minchul narrowed his eyes as he watched Su Gyeom scream at him. Suddenly, he snickered and briskly walked over to Su Gyeom's bedside.
He stood at a distance that was close enough to watch the ugly side of Su Gyeom. At the same time, the distance was far enough to ensure that Su Gyeom could not lunge at him.
"Grandpa kicking me out of Kim Enterprise, huh? Su Gyeom, are you sure that with you in that current state and your father's position, you are able to drive me out of Kim Enterprise? Don't forget that Uncle and I are chiefs for certain departments in Kim Enterprise. We are holding similar positions with the same authorities. Uncle simply does not have the right to lay a finger on me. As for you..."
Minchul glared at Su Gyeom teasingly. His eyes were filled with mockery. "If I remember correctly, even if you return to Kim Enterprise, you're only one of the staff in my department. In terms of status, I am your older cousin and you are younger than me. In terms of position and authority, I am your superior and you are my subordinate. If you perform poorly, I can always fire you."
"You..." Su Gyeom was very angry with Minchul's words and tone. His face turned red as he sneered at him, "A chief for a certain department, huh? Don't go thinking that you are the president of Kim Enterprise when you are only one of its staff! Stop day-dreaming! Your so-called chief of department is only an unwanted post with the least importance. Who are you to compare with my father?! Besides, do you really think that the so-called power and authority in the company is judged based on your position?"

Su Gyeom snorted disdainfully, "Minchul, don't be so naive. Even though I'm just one of the staff in the company, the treatment I enjoy in the company is not inferior to you. Trust me, one word from me and you are certainly going to be kicked out of the company instead of me. At the end of the day, the person who has the actual say depends on if he is the official grandchild of the Kim family and more favored by Grandpa. How can you still not be clear about this even today?"
Su Gyeom kept using his title as the official youngest young master of the Kim family to suppress Minchul.
Everyone thought that the youngest child of a family was always the apple of the family's eyes. As such, Su Gyeom was thought to be the former master of the Kim family's most favorite grandchild. Moreover, with the status of Su Gyeom's maternal family, it was only natural that the former master would be more respectful and put up with him.
However, from now on, all these beliefs would fade into the past. If not for the incident that had happened today, many people would still have the wishful thought that Su Gyeom was favored by the former master.
However, ever since the good shows that they had put on today, the guests with good senses and acumen knew that the former master had already given up on Su Gyeom and his family. Su Gyeom was still in self-denial to think that he was the elders' most favorite grandchild. In fact, it had never been so.
Not only had the directors who held authorities in Kim Enterprise long learned about this, but the other sensible businessmen had noticed this as well.
From today on, the community in the business field's attitude toward Su Gyeom would change drastically. Su Gyeom and Lim Ji-yeon were the ones who had asked for this!
Unfortunately, they were still unaware of it.
