I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family-Chapter 107
Seo Aram returned to The Prestige after her unanswered conversation with her mother.
With her work already done for the day, she headed straight to her assigned room. Along the way, most people she encountered treated her as a superior.
Being a member of The Prestige alone made her superior to those outside.
But even within The Prestige, there were clear distinctions in hierarchy.
Seo Aram was someone Go Muyeol had personally placed in the organization.
The rumors had already spread far and wide, and not just among her peers—those who joined earlier, and even the instructors in charge of training, treated her with deference.
This didn’t mean the training’s difficulty was lowered for her, but the difference between her and her peers was unmistakable.
From birth, her life was destined for the highest level of Prestige.
Once her training ended, she would immediately be installed as the team leader in Go Muyeol’s secretariat, leaving her with nothing but a bright future.
Everyone, except for the owner family, bowed their heads to her and treated her kindly.
Before joining The Prestige, she could never have imagined such a life.
In many ways, it was far removed from what could have been her original fate.
If she were an ordinary person, she might have already lost herself in this situation.
Taking what she had now for granted, succumbing to arrogance.
But Seo Aram was most wary of that.
She knew everything she enjoyed now was solely due to Go Muyeol.
“Without him, I am nothing...”
Her current position owed nothing to her abilities.
It was entirely Go Muyeol’s influence.
That alone supported her now.
Thus, what she needed to do was simple:
“Loyalty... Absolute loyalty...”
Avoid falling out of his favor at all costs.
That was the only way her mother could continue receiving treatment and for her current life to continue.
Reaffirming her resolve, she threw herself onto the bed.
November 7th, Saturday.
Finally, the day had come.
The day I would officially announce my secretariat.
Although the list of names had been finalized days ago, today marked the official start of their duties.
I planned to personally bring the team leaders who would always accompany me.
It was also a good excuse to see my dear Aram.
“Preparations are complete, Master.”
“Good. Let’s move out.”
“Yes.”
Soo-ah and Levi boarded the AV first, while Baek Seol got in with me.
Seol was holding a small box containing cash to be distributed.
It seemed like a lot due to the number of people, but in total, it was just around a billion won—not a huge sum.
Lastly, Seo Eun-mi boarded.
I’d debated whether or not to bring her to the heart of Prestige, but I soon realized how foolish that concern was.
Seo Eun-mi wasn’t just a National Intelligence Service spy; she was also a product of Prestige.
In other words, deciding not to bring her wouldn’t change anything now.
If anything, among the people I had with me, she probably knew the most about Prestige.
Soo-ah wasn’t originally from Prestige. Baek Seol had been isolated in a training facility for 20 years before I brought her out, and Levi was a demon.
That left Seo Eun-mi as the only Prestige insider in my circle.
“Thinking about it this way, it’s almost laughable.”

Still, I was glad the secretariat was being reassembled.
Judging by my memory, it seemed even larger than before—a promising and welcome development.
When do I feel most like a direct descendant of the Koryo Group?
It’s when I visit one of the group’s properties.
When I went to Nonsan Training Center to bring Baek Seol,
when I visited the Military Headquarters in Dalian to... interact with my aunt,
and now, as I visit the heart of Prestige—the “City of Prestige.”
The entire city halts its activities to welcome me.
The countless AVs and drones that float around offer respectful greetings before forming a procession around my AV. Giant screens on buildings and holograms projected in the air are filled with nothing but messages of loyalty, praise, and welcome for me.
The sight of an entire city dedicated to welcoming me is overwhelming.
I’d experienced something similar at the Military Headquarters, but it still evoked a strange emotion.
“From a useless, shut-in orphan to this...”
This must be what they call a reversal of fortune.
Though it feels slightly different, there’s no better way to describe it.
“Wow...”
Levi admired the sight through the window, her voice filled with pure awe.
She looked like an elegant young lady with her refined appearance and haughty tone, but she had a surprisingly innocent and curious side to her—like now.
Meanwhile, Baek Seol glanced at her repeatedly.
It seemed like she wanted to admire the view too but held back, probably out of her sense of duty as my knight.
“Admirable.”
I decided not to tell her to look freely—it felt unnecessary. She’d get tired of the view eventually, traveling with me.
As we delved deeper into the City of Prestige, we approached its landmark and the pinnacle of Prestige: “The Prestige.”
It was so tall that we kept ascending without reaching the top.
They said it was 1.83 kilometers high. While it hadn’t felt real in writing, standing before it was overwhelming.
“The largest structure in human history, housing 50,000 members of Prestige.”
And yet, it served only the owner family.
“And among the owner family, aside from Grandfather, I’m the only male. Considering Grandfather seems to have long graduated from any interest in women, it’s safe to say that every woman in there...”
“...belongs to me.”
The rooftop AV pad of The Prestige.
Our AV landed, and as the door opened, Seo Eun-mi, Baek Seol, Levi, and Soo-ah exited first. I followed as the last to disembark.
Waiting on the AV pad were the team leaders of my secretariat.
Originally, the city’s head officials and the administrators of The Prestige were supposed to come flocking to greet me, but I dismissed them all.
Why should I bother dealing with servants or exchanging pleasantries?
Especially when they’re just a bunch of old men.
There was absolutely no need. I only wanted to meet my secretaries.
“Pleased to meet you, Young Master.”
The secretaries, equipped with graceful smiles, stood before me.
Three team leaders, eight deputy leaders—a total of eleven women bowed deeply, offering a full 90-degree bow.
“Photos never do justice to the real thing.”
Every single one of them looked even more stunning in person.
Especially their slender legs, which were a work of art. Just the sight of them made something stir inside me.
“Raise your heads. Let me see your faces.”
The secretaries straightened their backs.
Even so, they avoided making eye contact with me, their gazes modestly lowered.
They kept serene smiles on their lips, their hands clasped respectfully in front of their waists, and their feet together in a perfect posture.
“Hmm. You all look quite delectable. You pass the visual test.”
“Thank you, Young Master.”
“From now on, call me ‘Master.’”
“Yes, Master.”
Their responses sounded almost mechanical in tone, but they had been trained well enough to avoid any unpleasantness.
With the team leaders of my secretariat, I descended to my office.
It was on the 196th floor.
Floors 200 to 260 were exclusively reserved for the owner family, so any work-related offices were positioned below the 200th floor.
That didn’t mean complete isolation or restricted access—only that work-related spaces were consolidated beneath the 200th floor.
“““Welcome, Young Master. We are honored to serve you.”””
In a large, open office space that occupied nearly an entire floor, dozens of beautiful women stood in a row, bowing deeply in unison.
The team leaders who had accompanied me stepped forward to greet me, then quietly took their positions at their desks.
They bowed once more, as if to reaffirm their reverence.
I observed their greetings, letting my gaze fall on one empty spot in the lineup.
The desk for the protocol team leader. Seo Aram’s future position.
Once her training was complete, I’d place her right there.
She might still be lacking in some ways, but that didn’t matter. As the protagonist, she’d naturally overcome any deficiencies.
“Well then, I’d like to get to know each of you better. Please introduce yourselves.”
I started with the security team.
A woman with radiant bronze skin stepped forward and began her introduction.
“Head of Security, Kwon Dambi.”
She began with her name and went on to list her credentials and background in detail.
But I wasn’t particularly interested in that.
This was Prestige; of course, they’d be exceptional women.
“That’s enough.”
I interrupted her lengthy speech and grabbed her chin.
Caught off guard, her face tensed slightly, but she didn’t panic.
Her lips,
her nose,
the corners of her eyes,
her cheeks—
I brushed my thumb across each feature, tilting her head to examine her face from ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) different angles. Then, without hesitation, I grasped her cheek and pressed my lips to hers.
“?!”
She clearly hadn’t expected a sudden kiss.
The surprise was evident in her widened eyes.
But she didn’t dare resist.
When I bit her lips, she accepted it. When I pushed my tongue into her mouth, she submitted.
I embraced her fully, sliding my hands over her back and down to her firm hips before moving one hand to cup her chest.
I spent a good minute enjoying her.
“Haah...”
When I finally pulled away, her face was flushed with a mix of embarrassment and excitement.
Her lips, glistening with my saliva, curled into a faint smile as she looked up at me.
I grabbed her jacket and tore it open.
Rip!
The buttons popped off, revealing the taut white blouse beneath, struggling to contain her ample chest.
I ripped that apart too, exposing her impressive cleavage.
“Perfect.”
Her bronzed skin accentuated her enviable curves.
I buried my face in the valley of her chest, licking and savoring the sight before pulling back and reaching for Soo-ah.
She handed me an envelope.
I placed it delicately in Kwon Dambi’s cleavage.
“Do a good job, Kwon Dambi.”
