Overgeared

On the screen, the man left alone looked back at the battlefield. It was a battlefield without a ceiling. The place, which was filled with marble and ornate carpets, had turned into ruins. The hundreds of pillars supporting the sky had shattered into dust, and the grandiose organ had long become a pile of firewood.

“...”

Overgeared King Grid...

Emotions crossed his wounded face as he looked at every corner of the empty battlefield. It was a strange expression like he would laugh or cry right away. He felt the joy of winning the battle and regret over the contents of the battle, as well as a thrill. A wide variety of emotions crossed his black eyes. There was a depth in his sunken eyes that caused a sensation among the public.

There were exclamations from all over the stands. Grid was only 30 years old this year. He was a young man who hadn’t hidden his feelings when he first appeared in the world. In just four years, he stood alone after this show. The world held its breath.

“...Daejin Motors,” Grid finally declared.

The hot chests of the people watching him cooled down.

-What did he just say? Does he mean to promote a company?

-...The second Comet Group.

-I’m tired.

There was a reason why Grid was the ‘No. 1 model desired by advertisers’ for four years running despite closing down his advertising activities. It was because he could completely capture the advertising industry.

The meeting of the Daejin Group employees was turned upside down. Reports were pouring in. It was reported that Daejin Motors occupied the top of the real-time search terms on portal sites of the six continents of Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Australia. The entire world was showing interest in Daejin Motors and the Daejin Group.

Of course, it didn’t matter if it was overwhelmingly negative interest. The noise marketing wasn’t for nothing. It was meaningful that the brand was known all around the world.

“Yes!” The president of Daejin Motors got up and cheered while the presidents of other affiliated companies watched him with envy. The excited president of Daejin Motors shouted at Chairman Lee Jinmyung, “As expected of Grid! As your prospective grandson-in-law, it is normal for him to do extraordinary things. Still, how did he manage to promote it at such a perfect time...?!”

This was a state of excitement. It was a competition watched by billions of people, and their company was promoted at a time when the audience rating was the highest. They enjoyed a publicity effect that couldn’t be bought even if they paid a million dollars.

Unexpectedly, Chairman Lee Jinmyung was calm. After all, he knew that he had to be careful when a big opportunity arrived. He leaned back in the chair and thought intently before saying to the head of the group’s public relations team, “Don’t release the promotional articles.”

“Huh? U-Understood."

Right now, the world’s attention was focused on Grid, so it was a perfect opportunity to promote themselves. Grid had refused to be models of global companies. Once word spread that he chose Daejin Group, the effect would be an astronomical promotional effect.

Lee Jinmyung had also agreed only to suddenly change his mind. The head of the PR team was very confused, but he didn’t dare ask for the reason as he got on his phone. The Daejin Motors president asked on behalf of everyone, “It is difficult for me to understand your keen insight. Is it okay to ask what you are planning?”
