The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



When Lee finally managed to make the payment of thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars, he strode to the stage full of hope.

He staggered from his physical weakness, his body so close to death. The pain from the terminal cancer tormented him greatly.

He was already at the stage where he had t o inject painkillers into his body multiple times a day. Before he left the room to join the auction, he made his subordinate inject a dose of painkillers.

The painkiller's effects had weakened a lot by now. Every step he took gave him a heart-wrenching pain.

Despite that, Lee's endurance was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

As an ex-soldier, he survived the war between North and South Korea. The brutal experience forged his extraordinary perseverance that lasted to this very day.

Enduring the terrible pain, he staggered his way up the stage. The pain would not stop, but his mood gradually soared.

He knew it was his last step before his rebirth of life. The immense pain all over his body was like a raging fire, but rather than kill him, it would rejuvenate his life.

He did not fear pain. Instead, he enjoyed the pain that kept him sober.

Many in the audience were quick to recognize him as the head of the Lee family, who controlled one of the largest chaebols in Korea.

Many years ago, the media reported about this legendary Korean billionaire's anticancer treatment journey. Some time ago, the media posted news about his deteriorating condition.

Many couldn't understand why he was on stage. He was willing to spend thirty-eight billion and two million to bid for the last quarter pill, but why? He could easily fight for the last full pill with his financial strength.

Lee thought otherwise. The Lee family's operations were heavily asset-based, mainly in the semiconductor or shipping industry. The family had to invest huge funds into research, development, and production costs regardless of the industry.

The Lee family had a liquid cash reserve of around forty billion US dollars. The remaining assets were in forms of fixed assets ranging from financial assets to intangible assets. It could not be realized in such a short time.

As such, he dared not bet his chances on the last Rejuvenating Pill.

The staff on stage helped put the pill into Lee's mouth. In that instance, all of his pain disappeared like lightning.

The Rejuvenating Pill's effects struck him like a fierce wind that blew away the thick haze shrouding the sky.

powerful emotions, he lost control of

himself and burst into sorrowful

He remembered how it felt when he climbed out of the tunnel he hid for many days, and finally saw the stars on a clear summer night. It was the same feeling: a feeling of new life.

He didn't shout excitedly or cheer in unbridled joy. He was in awe, like a survivor looking at the deceased.

From the moment he was pushed to the battlefield, he had witnessed too many deaths around him. Decades later, he witnessed the constant departure of many old friends.

All of his friends had passed away. He was the last one standing strong.

Once again, he won a big war in life. It was victory at last, though paid with a heavy price.

He thought of his children. Soon, they would likely hold grudges against him or even outright hate him. By then, he would be all alone.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The thought sent his emotions surging violently within him.
