EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school

Support Ex-Rank

People were shocked to see Cheon Eunha, especially since none of them cared about his existence.

Cheon Eunha’s DNA was tested dozens of times when he was first found, and people rushed to think about how to use him for internal politics.

However, Cheon Eunha had locked-in syndrome and showed no signs of recovery.

After judging that he wasn’t worth anything, people threw him out of their heads.

They thought it was a good thing when Cheon Dongha started taking care of Cheon Eunha.

It was easier for them to move behind his back while he was preoccupied with taking care of his brother.

Cheon Dongha was an excellent man with solid values, so it was difficult to work sneakily around him.

‘Come to think of it, there was a rumor that he recovered and took Eungwang High’s entrance exam!’

They heard that Cheon Eunha recovered from LIS, but they thought it would be difficult for him to move since he was bedridden for a long time.

Cheon Eunha must’ve wanted to follow in his brother’s footsteps so he took the entrance exam for Eungwang High, but the executives thought that he’d obviously fail.

Eungwang High, Korea’s most prestigious high school, never had an easy entrance exam.

There were corrupt teachers like Choi Pyeondeuk in the past who would illegally admit students by taking advantage of loopholes in the admission process, but the time is different now.

It’s not a school where an illegitimate child, who didn’t study for a long time because of physical dysfunction, can attend.

Taking the test was his freedom so the executives ignored it, and Cheon Eunha’s existence wasn’t one of the worries of his superiors anyway.

The board member began to speak.

“You are Cheon Dongha’s dongsaeng. Ah…”

“W-we called for Cheon Dongha, not you!”

As the hum grew, the man who had been distracted for a while also came to his senses.

If he can’t deal with a young child, he will lose all that he worked hard for.

“What are you trying to do? Where do you think you are?”

Nerves began to pop on the man’s neck.

He spoke with a force in his voice.

“An illegitimate child mentioning President Cheon’s name? How dare you speak like that to an adult. Get Dongha right now!”

Someone weak would get agitated being talked to like this, however, Cheon Eunha let the man say whatever he wanted to say.

He smiled, replying in a gentle tone.

“Even though I am an illegitimate child, I have no choice but to mention it because I’m in fact President Cheon’s biological son. I apologize. I just recovered so I don’t know much, but if I have a chance to interact with adults, I try to learn from them. Please don’t worry.”

Cheon Eunha’s quiet words were warm enough to make him let down his guard, but the true meaning of his words wasn’t.

Cheon Eunha was implying that he wasn’t adult enough for him to learn from.

However, his tone and smile showed no hostility, so he only sounded friendly.

It seemed that the only man who noticed that Eunho was no ordinary bet was the man who organized this.

“It’s a sudden schedule so it seemed difficult for Dongha hyung to attend. That’s why I offered to come instead.”

As Cheon Eunha continued speaking, he felt a calm emotion rising in his mind somehow.

The more he heard Cheon Eunha’s sincere voice, the more he felt inclined.

Cheon Eunha offered to attend even though he knew he’d be facing a difficult position.

Some of the board members felt sympathy for him, and some even nodded without realizing it.

The man was shocked to see people being influenced in such a short time.

‘No, this mission is specially ordered by my superior. I can’t let it go on like this…!’

Only the man comes into contact with the superiors.

Most of them didn’t know what the meeting was for.

They thought that the meeting was to verify the identity of the child who could be ‘Cheon Geumha,’ oblivious to the fact that it was a ploy to hold Cheon Dongha.

(T/N: Geum means gold in Korean.)

The man was frustrated as he was unable to express his intention.

Meanwhile, Cheon Eunha was looking at the reactions of the people present.

He was looking for someone related to the Black Screen.

‘There’s someone who got the instruction of the Black Screen.’

His gaze passed by the man who just spoke in a loud voice.

Cheon Eunha’s gaze flowed indifferently, but he was constantly monitoring his expressions and words in his head.

‘Found him easier than I thought.’

There were two reasons why Cheon Eunha came to this meeting.

First is to let Cheon Dongha participate in the First Christmas Scenario.

Second is to find the person connected to the Black Screen among the Cheon Family.

Jo Euishin and Cheon Eunha didn’t think that the entire family was connected to them.

There are definitely subordinates among their ranks, but it can’t be concluded that all of them were connected to the Black Screen.

The main evidence of that was Cheon Dongha.

Jo Euishin once said this;

— Cheon Dongha sunbaenim’s eyes are a hindrance to the Black Screen. If they had taken full control of the Cheon Family, they would’ve gotten rid of Cheon Dongha from Eungwang High in a more coercive and sure way. But, strangely, they’re only making sloppy moves.

There are many ways for the Black Screen to attack Cheon Dongha by mobilizing the royal lineage.

However, Cheon Dongha’s movements are quite predictable.

He’s either at home, in Eungwang High, or at the Hwangmyeong Research Institute.

Since he’s almost always in Eungwang District, it was difficult to find a gap to attack him.

He’s always around players, and Cheon Dongha himself is an excellent one.

If they attack him within Eungwang District, the Tiger Clan would surely notice.

The Black Screen had no choice but to play it safe.

If they had taken complete control of the Cheon Family, they would’ve been able to deal with Cheon Dongha easily.

— If the whole family is involved, they would’ve coaxed or ousted Cheon Dongha much earlier. But he’s still safe. That means the whole family isn’t under their control. Though I’m sure some of them are already with the Black Screen.

It was just as Jo Euishin said.

Seeing that Cheon Eunha’s eloquence easily moved the board members, it seemed that not many people were planted by the Black Screen.

“But it is improper to change an appointment without prior notice. How can you two change what your superiors decided? Are you looking down on the Cheon Family?!”

The man believed to be connected to the Black Screen wasn’t easy.

He was about to make Cheon Dongha and Cheon Eunha enemies of the family.

However, Cheon Eunha answered without his smile breaking down.

“The only place I belong to is the Cheon Family, but I heard that this wasn’t decided at the family meeting. Unlike me, Dongha hyung has responsibilities in Eungwang High and at Hwangmyeong Research Institute.”

The answer left the man speechless.

He spoke as if Cheon Dongha and Cheon Eunha were below him, but they were in fact not under them.

In other words, the only advantage they have is their age.

Well, the ages of all the people here combined don’t come close to Cheon Eunha, Eunho’s, real age.

“I sent it in an email yesterday. The reply came that we should talk in person, so I came to see you in person.”

“…!”

The man received an email from his secretary yesterday.

He checked, but from the first page, the contents were about the genetic testing process.

There were a series of suggestions to reduce the meeting time by leaps, so the man said that they should just talk in person instead of reading the lengthy email.

It was a trick to stall, but it backfired on him.

While the man was at a loss for words, Cheon Eunha spoke to the other people in the conference room.

“I see there are many people who joined for the DNA test today. I really wanted to greet you all.”

The more Cheon Eunha spoke, the more difficult it became for the people to hold back their smiles.

They fell in love with Eunho’s friendly and coherent words.

Business cards began to pile up in front of Cheon Eunha.

The man connected to the Black Screen was nervous now that the tides had turned.

‘I can’t let this happen!’

The man was aware of the horror of his superiors.

It was obvious what would happen to him if he didn’t do this right.

The man rolled his head to try to settle the situation even a little.

‘Should I get that bastard kid by force and threaten Cheon Dongha to come here…!’

However, the child is a prospective high school student who had just recovered from LIS.

The student’s body was much smaller.

He doesn’t know what kind of skills he has, but the man was also a player.

He took into consideration the fact that Cheon Dongha cared enough to watch his younger brother with utmost care until he recovered.

The man decided to take the last resort.

Before Eunho got more affection from the people around him, he intended to call him out of the conference room.

Maybe he could ask Snow & Air to cooperate.

Tak.

But before the man’s hand landed on Cheon Eunho, a man and a woman in a suit and blue ties appeared.

The man and woman stood in a relaxed posture, but they seemed to have blown away the board member’s hand with their energy waves.

No one around him felt the energy waves, and the man and woman didn’t hit his hand directly.

“Who in the world are…?”

“They’re the ones that Dongha hyung sent because he was worried about me going alone. They were going to do volunteer work at the nursery today, but they accompanied me.”

The man and woman nodded, while the board member gnashed his teeth internally.

The man and woman are quite high-level players, but the people around him seem to think that they are just plain bodyguards.

However, the middle school student who played the role of a fake illegitimate child briefly uttered an exclamation after seeing the two’s movements.

“Wow…”

With the appearance of the two who were said to be sent by Cheon Dongha, the topic naturally changed.

The board members were pleased by how Cheon Eunha spoke about Cheon Dongha and the good relationship between the two brothers.

“My hyung is a good chess player. There’s no move that he misses.”

Cheon Eunha glanced at the planted man with this remark.

It was as if he knew what the man was about to do.
