“…!”

At the mention of the Permanent Special Investigation Office, everyone gulped.

It wasn’t just the shock of hearing it said so openly, but also the sheer weight the institution carried.

The Permanent Special Investigation Office, as the name suggests, would be a "permanent" investigative body. However, when you break down its roles and powers, every single aspect is jaw-dropping.

As an organization dedicated to "investigations without sanctuaries or limits," anyone in Incheon—regardless of who they are or what group they belong to—could be subject to investigation. Moreover, once an investigation begins, the "cooperation orders" that prosecutors can issue are effectively considered automatically active.

Unlike typical investigations that operate under the presumption of innocence, investigations by the Permanent Special Investigation Office work under the presumption of guilt. The accused must prove their innocence as a fundamental principle, and for emergencies, all prosecutors in the office are authorized to carry and use Terminators at all times.

With such immense powers guaranteed, those familiar with the matter often say that whoever controls the Permanent Special Investigation Office controls Incheon itself.

Naturally, in a properly functioning political system, such an institution would never come into existence.

It would have been dismissed at the proposal stage, and the proposer would have faced significant ridicule.

However, in this case, the Permanent Special Investigation Office was progressing with astonishing smoothness. At this rate, it was practically a done deal.

Rumors suggested that the chairman of the Koryo Group had personally intervened.

If that were true, then it was safe to assume the office was already established.

"Is it really… going to be created?"

One of the subordinate prosecutors cautiously asked.

She, too, was a corrupt prosecutor, but as a member of the legal profession, even the faintest trace of her conscience was being stirred.

The Permanent Special Investigation Office was an institution that trampled even on such minimal traces of conscience.

To Lee Na-eun, however, such an institution was the stage of her dreams.@@novelbin@@
