The Joseon Prince Went To America And Didn’t Return – 210



< The Fall of a Hero (1) >

The Titanic was originally a passenger ship that departed from Southampton England and arrived in New York.

Is that why?

The media in the United States and the United Kingdom two countries with particularly high numbers of victims competed with each other to publish in-depth articles on this topic.

『The reason was that they set a route that was too close to the North Pole in April in order to break their competitor Cunard’s existing record.』

『It is said that all of this started due to the arbitrary decision of Bruce White the head of Star Line. Hundreds of people were sacrificed due to his unreasonable decision.

『Captain Edward Smith often drank alcohol during meals. He was drunk at the time of the accident and was unable to give proper response orders. He died in the accident but his death alone will not be enough to atone for all this karma.』

『Lloyd’s Insurance Company is expected to pay out about £1.5 million in insurance claims for the sinking of the Titanic. Shares in the London-listed company Lloyd’s have fallen 15% since the incident.

The response of the media in the two countries was truly different.

The original British tabloids.

They seem like people who would sell their souls for money but this time they showed a more mature side than the US.

He focused on the cause of the sinking and future measures mentioning the names of those responsible one by one.

We called for measures to prevent recurrence through in-depth reporting.

Of course some yellow press published a lot of articles that provoked the public.

The majority of them were seen as having fulfilled their social responsibilities as they displayed the true nature of journalists which can be called their role.

But across the Atlantic the American press was not like that at all.

Because many media outlets rushed to publish numerous ‘Kardera’ articles without any sources.

『A voodoo priest from Congo. Discreetly reported to our newspaper. Revealed that the Morgans had approached him in the past.

『Shocking Fact! Morgan and his family attempted human sacrifice.

『If you bury someone in the sea your wish will come true? Recently the Morgans have been obsessed with African voodoo. They have sacrificed children and women to the sea god….』

『Omission of the champagne bottle breaking ceremony to celebrate the safe voyage at the launching ceremony was also part of the plan. Morgan meticulously planned the sinking of the Titanic.』

『Did he really sell his soul to the devil? The story goes that some of the rescue ships were placed on the Titanic in damaged condition to make the number of victims 666.』

“Morgan is actually a reptile not a human? According to a servant who worked in Morgan’s house he bathes in human blood every morning and then wears a mask made of human skin.”

It’s a scandal between the two richest people in New York or rather the United States.

Rockefeller who was briefly in the public eye a year ago due to an antitrust lawsuit.

Morgan’s story on the other hand had the fun of what is commonly called ‘exposing’ things.

Is that why?

Absolutely ridiculous and vulgar rumors continued to be circulated.

“It’s an extra edition. An extra edition.”

“Buy the papers. They have the latest news on the Morgans.”

The American yellow press even described Morgan as an ‘outsider’.

This way the ignorant masses will buy at least one more copy.

Because they also show more interest in follow-up articles.

“Wow awesome.”

“Morgan that guy wasn’t human?”

“Well the nose is really big. I heard it became a housewife by eating children?”

Some Americans actually believed this ridiculous article.

21st century.

In the United States rumors have been circulating that the coronavirus vaccine contains nanoelectronic chips that control the recipients.

Most Americans went on to elementary middle and high school as part of their basic education but they believed these ridiculous rumors.

Those who currently live in the Americas are the ancestors of these foolish people.

They too like people of the same blood accepted the rumors without filtering and pointed fingers at Morgan.

『Control freak Morgan’s secret plan.』

“The ruthless Morgan who tried to drown his enemies in the cold Atlantic Ocean.”

Although the mainstream media has been ‘relatively’ restrained that does not mean that they have not contributed such conspiracy theories at all.

Rather than just putting ridiculous articles like the ones above on one page

A bit more ‘plausible’.

If it were really Morgan he would come up with very sophisticated hypotheses that were so plausible that it made you think “It could happen” and he would incite the readers even more cleverly.

『Morgan Jr. who has returned to Korea holds an emergency press conference.』

To clarify this Morgan Jr. JP Morgan’s son revealed his illness that day.

What followed was a public disclosure of the details of the day’s events accompanied by sarcasm.

『The day before Morgan Jr.’s accident he invited three prostitutes and had a party. Rumor has it that he enjoyed it three to one.』

『Morgan Jr. who had consumed rotten red ginseng because he was lacking energy. As a result he suffered from a stomachache and was unable to attend the event on the day of the accident.』

“He’s a real lucky guy. If he had been on board the day of the accident there would have been a 25% chance that he wouldn’t have survived.”

The follow-up article caused Morgan Jr. to become estranged from his wife.

The philandering of upper-class men can be seen as a social custom prevalent in this era.

Even the most obedient upper-class woman could not stand having it published in the media like this.

Even if it’s embarrassing she has to have a big fight so that she can hear good things from the local community she belongs to.

So they say that he looked like he was saying ‘You’re dying I’m dying’ and because of that all the plates in the house broke.

“Morgan Jr. had a huge fight with his wife.”

“Will Morgan Jr.’s wife actually get a divorce? If so how will the Morgan family’s assets be divided?”

Ah! This too was made known to the public through disloyal servants.

The Morgan family’s every move was such an entertaining gossip topic for Americans that reporters paid huge sums of money to buy it.

The Morgan family had to spend yet again a great deal of money to keep the internal turmoil from leaking out.

So they had to spend April absentmindedly.

* * *

“Hey don’t take pictures! I’m really losing my temper!”

A photo of herself waving at the camera.

On top of that every single vulgar word he used was written down exactly as it was without any mistakes.

Morgan was trembling with excitement at the sight of this.

“These fucking kids…..”

The United States the world’s greatest ‘paparazzi’ country in the 21st century.

Even a hundred years ago this driving force was still the same.

The so-called “photographers” would wait in front of Morgan’s house and ask him provocative questions provoking him.

If it were normal Morgan would have said “Hey where are you from? Oh really?” and planned for the future.

He was very stressed out from the Titanic sinking incident in the past so he responded by blowing up.

This has once again amplified a controversy that was dying down on its own.

Is that why?

Recently Morgan has been forced into involuntary confinement at home.

To reduce controversy.

“You bastards you’ve been living in luxury with the money I put in your pockets all this time.”

Morgan was wronged.

As if he were talking to himself New York reporters used the money he gave them to visit bars and enjoy all sorts of pleasures.

It was a huge shock because after having fun together for a long time he treated me coldly as if nothing had happened.

While alive.

This was the first time Morgan had been subjected to such neglect and ridicule and he was so angry that he woke up with a start.

“Junior! Look! These guys took pictures of me to make me look like the devil. You bastards. How dare you… after all the care I gave you…”

A photo of Morgan featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Even Morgan could see that he was wearing a truly vicious expression.

“father.”

Others viewed these Morgans as villains but not Morgan Jr.

My father is losing weight day by day.

He was worried about Morgan so he quietly knelt down in front of her.

“Please stop drinking.”

Morgan can’t sleep without alcohol these days.

Today I was just opening a bottle of whiskey when Morgan Jr. saw JP Morgan like that and tried to comfort him.

“If time passes like this you might get seriously ill.”

“….”

“Father you must take revenge.”

“!”

“Our family will be restored only when our father comes to his senses.”

Morgan’s eyes opened wide.

okay.

plural.

It can’t just collapse like this.

How did he build his empire?

Because he couldn’t let the punks ruin his Morgan empire like Rockefeller’s.

He stopped drinking and put his glass on the floor.

“Okay. I’ll try to cut down on drinking from now on.”

Morgan held Morgan Jr.’s hand tightly and swore.

“At least I won’t drink alone. I swear it on my God.”

dripping-

That was when.

Morgan’s butler came towards Morgan who was waking up holding a piece of paper.

“Representative.”

“What’s going on?”

“A telegram has arrived from Washington.”

Morgan’s heart suddenly started pounding.

Because one of his lifelong dreams was still pending in Washington.

“Ugh…..”

Morgan reads the note and closes her eyes tightly.

“What’s wrong Father?”

In response to Morgan Jr.’s question Morgan handed over the document he had just received.

“ah….”

Morgan Jr. also lets out a deep sigh as if he is depressed.

Morgan opened his mouth to look at his son.

“I hear the Senate has postponed the vote on the U.S. central bank bill indefinitely. It looks like the Roosevelt faction within the Republican Party has revolted.”

The cause of the Titanic’s accident started from a lack of safety awareness.

The ship sailed near the Arctic Ocean despite the ice still remaining and did not carry many evacuation ships in case of an emergency which resulted in a large loss of life.

But Morgan’s opponents dismissed these facts.

Morgan’s huge monopoly trust.

He doggedly pursued the IMM and agitated the public by claiming that all of this was a creation of New York’s giant monopoly capital.

“Damn Wilson how dare you…”

This movement spread to the political world.

The progressive Democratic Party has adopted this as its election slogan and made judging monopolies the spirit of the times.

“That idiot Teddy is the same. I finally saved his life and now he’s backing down on public opinion and pointing a knife at me again?”

Throughout its history the Republican Party has been divided.

The Republican Party of today had Theodore Roosevelt who could be seen as the leader of the party’s progressive wing as president.

Roosevelt who had been a lame duck because of inflation was also right and was using the situation to expand his influence.

That’s why.

Past promises to pass a central bank law behind closed doors have been tossed aside like an old shoe.

Oh of course.

Roosevelt did not want the Republicans to split so he played a trick by dragging out a vote in the Senate rather than rejecting the bill outright.

“I will never forgive me.”

The establishment of a central bank for the United States was Morgan’s lifelong wish.

That law eventually stopped working.

It’s a situation that can’t help but make Morgan roll his eyes.

“father.”

“Ugh. You motherfuckers.”

“father!”

Morgan Jr. screamed.

hereto.

Morgan came to his senses again.

“You must exercise self-restraint now.”

“….”

“If the presidential election had not been held in the second half of this year we would have been summoned to a congressional hearing long ago.”

The United States also holds hearings.

A rare opportunity for federal lawmakers to meddle and subpoena business leaders.

The Titanic sinking hearing of the century could soon be held in Washington.

It will likely be formed right after the election Morgan Jr. mentioned.

“Now is the time to prepare.”

“….”

“Our fate will depend on how we respond.”

“Yeah. Right. Um…”

Morgan suddenly had this thought.

Your child has really grown up well.

I could have lost this guy in an accident this time.

I was really angry when I heard that I couldn’t attend the event because of a prostitute.

Suddenly my son became mature and affectionate.

“I will leave the preparation for my… hearing to you.”

“Yes. I will make every effort to avoid any trouble.”

Morgan Jr. said and packed his coat.

Morgan then asked his son where he was going next.

“Where are you going?”

“I intend to go see this prince.”

Morgan narrowed his eyes and spoke negatively.

“Why him?”

“Why?”

“That guy is in league with Rockefeller. He’ll try to bring me down somehow.”

Morgan Jr. nodded.

“I know. It could be like my father said.”

“But why!”

“And yet only the newspapers owned by this prince are publishing such normal articles.”

Lee Kang owns a minority stake in the Washington Post.

There is talk that they usually don’t put any pressure on the media.

That would be completely unbelievable.

Moreover unlike the existing American media outlets the Korean-American newspapers that had considerable influence did not personally attack the Morgans.

An editorial was contributed focusing on the damage to overseas Koreans and follow-up measures.

Morgan Jr. mentioned this and once again emphasized to his father that he would visit Lee Kang sometime.

“I am personally acquainted with him and have fought alongside him at a crossroads of life and death.”

Morgan Jr. didn’t completely save Lee Kang though.

Since he was also by Lee Kang’s side when the attack occurred Morgan Jr. felt that Lee Kang owed him something.

Moreover since Morgan Jr. was also almost seriously injured at that time I thought that Lee Kang would not just ignore this and let it go.

‘I don’t know if I’ll have to pay a high price for it but…’

I won’t just pretend I didn’t see it.

Morgan Jr. thought so because he thought he knew Lee Kang well.

“….”

“….”

There was an uncomfortable silence for a while.

JP Morgan was the first to break this silence.

“Okay. Let’s go and see.”

“….”

“This prince is a man of vision so he may be able to give you some helpful advice.”

Unlike Morgan Jr. Morgan is wary of Lee Kang.

But now that things were at their worst they needed at least one more ally.

‘Have I been living so wrongly all this time?’

Morgan recalled the past.

Not only the financial industry but also…

Railway steel shipping petroleum industry etc.

Like an octopus it branched out into many fields.

All sorts of static all kinds of static came to his mind.

‘It’s karma.’

It was fine when he was fine but when he becomes weak like this attacks come from all directions.

It’s all because we formed bad relationships.

Morgan is beginning to regret his past greed but he is helpless.

Because only God can completely put spilled water back into the water.

All we can do is reflect on the past and come up with countermeasures.
