Chapter 731 Someone's Back And Better Than Ever
June felt like it was too good to be true.
After an entire year of grappling with the briefcase, he finally had it open.
June sat on the floor with the briefcase in his lap. He held his breath as he slowly opened it, wondering what was to be revealed.
Papers.
There were a lot of papers inside.
June frowned when he saw that these papers were arranged in individual folders, each with a label on the front.
Azure.
ESPER.
Topstar.
Phoenix.
There seemed to be a folder for all the big entertainment companies in Korea—ones that monopolize the entire industry.
He opened the folder for ESPER Entertainment, which contained the company's details, CEOs, and shareholders.
Lee Soo Boy and Kristy Lee.
However, it didn't end with that.
June didn't know what to expect, but it definitely wasn't this.
They weren't lying when they said that the contents of the briefcase would be powerful.
It contained information that could potentially burn down the entertainment companies to the ground!
Tax evasions.
Prostitute houses.
Paper companies.
Gang involvement.
Trainee exploitation.
Low compensation for employees.
June knew that all companies were unethical in some kind of way. However, someone actually took the time to compile every single dirt they could find in the people who ran the K-Pop industry.
"This is…nuts," June muttered, still in disbelief.
He quickly opened Azure's folder and saw the crimes surrounding Mr. Ong. It seemed like he had been hiding the real profit of the company's idols to evade some taxes and to have a reason to lower their compensation.
June clicked his tongue, shaking his head in disbelief.
He continued to go through the papers, and with each revelation, the objective of the briefcase became more evident.
Whoever compiled this just created a ticking time bomb—which meant that the person who had it would be a very powerful being.
June shook his head in disbelief.
"I actually have this much power now."
He might be dying, but he had some of the most vital information known to man. These pieces of information could potentially change how the entertainment industry works.
Better pay.
Better terms for idols.
Overall, better treatment not just for EVE but for the current and upcoming generations.
June looked through Phoenix's folder last, and as expected, they had the thickest folder among everyone.
It was only after June transmigrated to this body that he learned that the White Tiger Gang was also associated Phoenix. So, it wasn't too surprising when he saw that the company had some gang involvement.
Moreover, Kim Young Do's exploitation of trainees was also included in the file—even the one involving June.
June's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Who the heck compiled this?" he muttered.
He knew that it was the old man who was supposedly trusted by all entertainment companies, but how come he did such a thing?
June continued to browse through Phoenix's papers and saw that there was one paper that didn't have any identity.
"Head," he muttered.
"The head of Phoenix."
June had heard of him once, but he never came around to learning his true identity.
It seemed like the wise old man was also unsure of his identity since he was the only one not included in his 'expose' list.
However, there was one letter written under the name.
"L," June read, his frown deepening.
He couldn't help but chuckle. "What is this? Death note or something? How come this person's so mysterious?"
June went through his net worth, his eyes widening when he saw that it was in the billions—not in the local currency, but with dollars!
Phoenix, being a company with plenty of subsidiaries, was definitely the richest company of all. However, seeing L's net worth was particularly shocking. It was almost as if he was the most powerful person on this list!
"Would I still have the time to get to know who he is?" June muttered.
With that, June went through all of the contents of the briefcase.
He sat there for a while, not really knowing what to do with such vital information.
Then, he looked up at the ceiling, chuckling to himself in disbelief.
He shook his head.
"How is this any different from what I did before?" he muttered.
June closed his eyes, suddenly feeling the burden on his shoulders.
But then again, he felt that it was fortunate that he was the one who retrieved the briefcase. If it went into the wrong hands, then it would entail very bad things for the entertainment industry and its stakeholders.
June let out a deep breath.
"I transmigrated here to become the top idol...but why does it feel like I have to change the industry instead."
"Do I have to save the idol industry?"
Just then, it seemed like something snapped back into place.
He felt lighter than usual, and it seemed like his vision became brighter, too.
June couldn't help but open his eyes and look around the room.
"What just passed by?" he muttered, seeing pink specks in his vision.
June's frown deepened when he smelled a familiar scent.
"Roses?" he said, tilting his head to the side.
Then, his eyes widened further when the pink specks danced in his vision, even making hearts and fireworks with its graphics.
It reminded him of the special effects he had when he performed the Little Meow Meow Song.
"Is this the side effect of my illness?" June asked, feeling like he was going crazy.
However, as a familiar notification popped up right above his head, he finally realized the culprit behind such hallucinations.
June couldn't help but sigh in relief.
[Congratulations! The host has finally found his origin.]
[He is meant to save the idol industry.]
[You now have the task of changing the idol industry for the better! One, with your performances, and two, with the power that you hold!]
June smiled despite feeling burdened.
"It's been a while," he muttered, the smile not leaving his lips.
[Hehe.]
[Fu's back, bitches!]
