Joker 1 (Side story) Prologue
Prologue Camellia Lady. It was the title of the performance they were about to see, a ballet adaptation of the novel ‘La Dame aux Camélias’. Joo Hawon folded his ticket in half, tucked it inside his suit jacket, and glanced at the empty seat beside him. The spot where Kwon Taeha should have been was a vacant, desolate space. Had his sigh deepened a little then? Before the first act began, Joo Hawon turned his gaze to the stage as the curtain…-

Bonus Track Joo Hawon had put aside the fun he found in clay shooting and started learning horseback riding. The weather in Korea was too hot, making it difficult to shoot under the scorching sun. Horseback riding was just as hot, but sitting on a galloping horse quickly cooled him down. The riding stable, located on the mountain opposite the clay shooting range, belonged to Kwon Jaehee, but Kwon Taeha and Joo Hawon visited more often than the owner. They occasionally helped with management, mostly…-

Joker Track 2 Eva Prinzessin von Schönburg-Hartenstein was Duke Hartenstein's fourth daughter. Above Eva, there was one brother and two sisters, and below her, two more younger siblings. Eva's family, of noble lineage, lost their family rights with the end of World War II, but with the re-establishment of the German Noble Federation Association in 1956, they were granted legitimacy of bloodline. Of course, their vested interests as the ruling class had vanished. Eva did not face financial…-

“Master Gambler Joo~” Haa. Hawon let out a long sigh. Oh Woosung, that bastard, was grinning like an idiot while mocking him. Somehow he had heard about the card game with Aeil Kwon, and for days now he had been calling him that nonsense. “Thanks to you, Master Gambler Joo, I’ve gotten to come to Jeju. This lowly one is truly humbled.” He was the same as ever, the one who had once been punished by a white bodyguard for his insolence. In front of Taeha, he acted like a mute fool, but…-

As expected, the flight to Korea was canceled, and even the helicopter that had been waiting to take them to the airport shut off its engine from overheating. Since Kwon Taeha had a schedule in Korea the next morning, Joo Hawon boarded STA’s private jet with him. Inside the jet’s bar, just as Taeha had said, there were several bottles of “Château Palmer 1961” resting in the wine cabinet. When Taeha asked if it tasted good, Hawon’s only answer was, “Just tastes expensive.” Taeha’s…-

Tangbang, who had been leaning against the corridor wall with his arms folded, followed after him. Joo Hawon ignored his presence as they walked side by side, and not until they stepped into the same elevator did either of them speak. Only when they exited on the floor where the chairman’s office was located did their pace slow. “Why did you seek me out?” Joo Hawon asked without glancing aside. “Curiosity. Chairman Kwon keeps you hidden so well that no one knows whether you’re alive…-

Playing poker, keeping one’s expression unreadable so the opponent cannot guess the strength of the hand is called a poker face. That was its origin, but by now, its usage had broadened quite a bit. When dealing with people, when facing a boss at work, even between lovers, there were days when a poker face was needed. And today was a day when a mask was more necessary than ever. “Well now~ it was hard to catch a glimpse of your face, but to think you’d be here like this.” Joo Hawon looked…-

The newlyweds were bickering in front of the elevator. Their mood had soured after being cursed at by some strange Korean guy, and since they felt a casino employee had also slighted them, they were venting their frustration on an innocent porter. Their belief was that anyone in the service industry ought to have a servant’s disposition. The wife, who used to work as a cashier at a supermarket, had often dealt with black consumers, and conversely, when she herself received low-cost service, she would…-

On the inside as well as the outside, Kangho Inn was decrepit and sweltering. From the men sprawled like boiled chickens came a stench of sour sweat. Since early morning, the central air conditioning had been broken, and only two stand-alone units were responsible for cooling the heat across two floors. The target temperature was 18 degrees, but the indoor air never dropped below 28. One man, pressed against a stand-alone unit to cool off, clashed with another who had been drinking at a table. Shouting…-

Jade Miller, Taeha’s classmate from boarding school and childhood friend, was furious. For some reason, CEO Kwon had handed over Mega Float to Aeil Kwon. Without even a single word of consultation. When he first heard that Hawon had fled, Jade felt a wave of relief, but Taeha immediately sent men after him, issuing alerts across Macau, Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Of course, Jade only pretended to search diligently. He knew well the importance of WikiLeaks. Yet if Hawon vanished along with it,…-
