Koong!
Large bags were placed nervously on the floor, and an old man nervously sat on the sofa.
He has white hair and a strong body that doesnât fit his age. And he stared and reached out his hand.
âGive me.â
âMoney?â
âA cigarette, kid.â
I smirked at Nam Chul-soon, an old man talking nervously, handed him a cigarette in his arms, and bounced his finger.
Snap!
The tip of the cigarette heated up red and white smoke rose, and Nam Chul-soon frowned and breathed out.
âHow can you smoke this?â
âItâs a bit strong for an old man to smoke.â
âShut up.â
Nam Chul-soon, who talked back nervously, gave out a few more smoke and asked calmly.
âWhoâs this time?â
âNot that famous.â
âDonât be stupid. I designed and built it, and you donât think I know the power?â
I was thinking about what to do with Nam Chul-soonâs fierce gaze, and I thought it was a chance so I answered without hiding.
âSky Sword.â
Nam Chul-soonâs eyes widened, and soon laughed.
ââ¦â¦â¦ You are crazy, finally.â
I didnât reply to the appearance that he didnât want to believe.
At this time, I knew that I could only hear more sarcastic comments.
ââ¦â¦.â
ââ¦â¦.â
There was a moment of silence, and Nam Chul-soonâs hand, who was holding the cigarette, began to tremble very faintly.
Is he scared? Or is he feeling joy? I looked down and waited still because I didnât know what he was thinking.
Then Nam Chul-soon, who had almost burned a cigarette in his mouth for the last time, asked with his head down.
âCan you really kill him?â
âWellâ¦â¦ if I canât kill him, Iâll die, so Iâll do whatever I can.â
If any of the plans go awry, my neck will fall off. And even if I give up my request and try to run away, I die.
Therefore, this event was not a parable, but a life and death of myself. Kill him, or try to be alive and die.
there are only two.
âItâs shitâ¦â
I took out a cigarette in my slightly sore lungs, and Nam Chul-soon, who raised his head, looked at it with a bitter smile.
âIf you fail to killâ¦â¦heâll come to kill me.â
âThe man is not that hard.â
âDonât bullshit. As soon as you heard the name Sky Sword, you were like an accomplice. Didnât you say because you knew it?â
âDoes it work like that?â
When I looked at him with a smirk, Nam Chul-soon frowned, sighed deeply, rubbed the cigarette on the ashtray, and stood up from his seat.
âDonât you take the money?â
âWait another day.â
Nam Chul-soon, who turned his body, murmured softly.
âIâll bring you something you can kill.â
* * *
ââ¦â¦.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who naturally opened his eyes, looked around and recalled that he was on his way to meet the CEO of Master when he saw Lee Hyun-chang driving.
âI must have been tired.â
There must have been some fatigue left from the battle with Trua.
Kang Yoo-sik, who has become a little stiff, lost on the memories of the past that he had seen in his dream a while ago.
âAre we going to see each other today?
Nam Chul-soon, who was also CEO of Master and an engineer.
Before the return, Kang Yoo-sik had a deep relationship with each other, because most of them went through Nam Chul-soonâs hands, such as ordinary equipment or special products used in special requests.
âThe armor he made at the end was clumsy, though.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who was beaten by five people but saved his life, smiled and turned his thought to the investment that came out today.
âI donât think this happened at this time.â
According to Nam Chul-soon, who was drunk before the return, it was the day before the demonstration that he completed the function of the Mana Barrier.
In other words, if there are still 10 days left until the demonstration, it is time to focus on research with completion, but there was no saying that there was a lack of money even though there was not enough time.
âSo there are two things that are possible here.â
He hid stories about money from him, or what he did caused a butterfly effect.
Considering Nam Chul-soonâs personality, the latter side was more likely.
âWell, first of all, itâs best to meet in personally.â
You donât have to save it if you can secure stocks of Master who will soon have global authority for whatever reason.
Kang Yoo-sik recalled his memory with a memory map until he arrived, and a little later, the car stopped in front of an old building with about three stories.
âIs thisâ¦â¦ Is it here?â
Kang Yoo-sik nodded at Lee Hyun-changâs strange look at the shabby building.
âRight, letâs go in.â
Kang Yoo-sik and Lee Hyun-chang entered the building together, and a man who was hanging around in front of the entrance rushed.
âAre you Mr. Lee Hyun-chang?â
âYes, I am.â
âOh, thank you for coming all the way! I should have visited you myselfâ¦â¦.â
A man kept bowing as soon as he meets him. Lee Hyun-chang made an uncomfortable look, and Kang Yoo-sik frowned slightly.
âHeâs not the old man. But looks similar. Who is it?â
When Kang Yoo-sik is wondering about unexpected situations. The man introduced himself with his head down again.
âMy name is Nam Dong-hoon, who is the CEO of the master.â
Nam Dong-hoon. Kang Yoo-sikâs reminded a memory related to the name.
âOh, heâs the son of the old man.â
A man who had already lost his life when he met the old man, and whom the old man strangely hated to mention.
When Kang Yoo-sik was amazed at the fact that his son is in charge of the CEO position. Nam Dong-hoon also took a peek and asked Lee Hyun-chang carefully.
âButâ¦â¦â¦the gentleman with youâ¦â¦?â
âHeâsâ¦.â
âIâm a partner. The name is on Lee Hyun-chang, but itâs joint ownership.â
âYes, it is.â
Nam Dong-hoon nodded as if he understood Kang Yoo-sikâs explanation and Lee Hyun-changâs agreement.
âOh, I see. Have we met beforeâ¦â¦.â
âIâd like to talk about that later and first of all, the urgent investment.â
âOh, yes, thatâs right. Letâs go to the CEO office on the third floor.â
There was no elevator in the building, so the three took the stairs to the third floor and went into the room labeled the CEO room.
The interior looks more flimsy than Lee Chang-wanâs lab in the past. Lee Hyun-changâs eyes wiggled slightly at a facility that showed the Masterâs situation at a glance.
After taking Kang Yoo-sikâs advice, he had invested a little in Master, but seeing its poor performance made him a little nervous.
âDid I put the money into the wrong company?â
When Lee Hyun-chang has a complicated expression. Kang Yoo-sik sat down and looked at Nam Dong-hoon.
âSo, what happened to this investment all of a sudden?â
âI donât know if you know, but weâre working on a project that can mass-produce mana barrier capabilities. Itâs almost complete, and weâll be showing it at a demonstration in 10 days.â
Kang Yoo-sik listened with a nod because he knew so far, and Nam Dong-hoon was a little nervous and continued.
âBut the company that had promised additional investment suddenly changed its words and fell apartâ¦â¦.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhich company is it?â
âItâs HW Factory, a subsidiary of Hwang Young Group.â
Kang Yoo-sikâs eyes widened in the story of Nam Dong-hoon, and he finally understood what the situation was.
âThis is because of him, Hwang Hwi-chan.â
Hwang Hwi-chan, who had no power within Hwang Young Group, mainly invested in small and medium-sized companies with potential for development, also owned part of Master.
At that time, Yoo-sik thought Hwi-chan would have it because he was investing here and there, but it turned out that he had invested aggressively from the beginning.
âCome to think of it, it was possible because Hwang Hwi-chan introduced me to Master for the first time.â
As he gets rid of Hwang Hwi-chan, all of his planned investments went blank, and the investments that would have been secured had been eliminated.
He has been trying to get help from here and there and reached Yoo-sik.
âThis⦠isnât bad.â
If external factors are the problem, it is safe to say that the development of the Mana Barrier may be delayed a little, but there is no possibility of failure.
And the delay will not be long enough to take away the initial development, so there will be no problem.
âSo how much investment do you need?â
âThatâsâ¦.â
Nam Dong-hoon peeked at Kang Yoo-sikâs question and opened his mouth carefully.
â15 billion wonâ¦.â
âWhat?â
Lee Hyun-chang asked back. He was wondering if it was worth billions of won because he thought it would be about a few billion, but itâs 15 billion won!
When Lee Hyun-changâs face was frowned upon, Nam Dong-hoon rushed to talk.
âItâs because we need to build special facilities for manufacturing. Thereâs not much money going into the production itself, and if you invest big this onceâ¦â¦.â
âThatâs nonsenseâ¦â¦.â
The moment Lee Hyun-changâs face was about to become ugly, thinking that the installment savings he put in trust in Kang Yoo-sik might be gone.
â15 billion won is all you need?â
ââ¦â¦yes?â
âThatâs enough for the Mana Barrier function to be mass-production?â
Nam Dong-hoonâs eyes shook at Kang Yoo-sikâs repeated questions and soon nodded like crazy.
âYes, yes! Itâs possible!â
âWhatâs the stake you said you will hand over before?â
âItâs a total 20 percent.â
Giving 15 billion won to get 20 percent of its shares.
By now, it is almost a waste of money, but considering the future market capitalization, it is worth it.
Kang Yoo-sik, who smiled inwardly, nodded.
âOkay, then Iâll send it to you by tomorrow.â
âThan, thank you!!â
Nam Dong-hoon bowed to Kang Yoo-sik, and Lee Hyun-chang, sitting next to him, opened his mouth.
Aside from being able to get 15 billion won, what does he believe and invest that much money in such a shabby company?
âWhat the hell is heâ¦â¦.â
When Lee Hyun-chang was staring blankly at Kang Yoo-sik.
ââ¦â¦?â
Dozens of people were coming from the hallway.
Baam!
The big ones in a black suit and doors that open as if theyâre being ripped open. Lee Hyun-changâs eyes shone coldly as they came into the representative room.
âWait.â
ââ¦â¦okay.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who restrained Lee Hyun-chang, glanced over the guys in the representative room and looked at the last two who came in.
A typical gangster-like figure with a scar on his eye. And a man with a clear impression like a salesperson who can be seen everywhere.
ââ¦â¦.â
Kang Yoo-sikâs eyes grew bigger when he saw the scene, and the guy with the scar stared at Nam Dong-hoon.
âYou son of a bitch talked to us and now trying to get help from someone else?â
âHeekâ¦â¦.â
âIâm gonna tear off your mouthâ¦â¦.â
âCalm down. Are you a gangster or something?â
When the man, who seemed like a salesperson, stopped him, then he flinched and bowed his head straight away.
âIâm sorry, sir!â
âI told you to call me Guild Master.â
âSorry, Guild Master!â
âTsut, tsut.â
The man kicked his tongue and moved his steps to sit next to Kang Yoo-sik.
Then he glanced at Kang Yoo-sik looking at him and smiled and looked at Nam Dong-hoon again.
âMr. Nam, Iâm a little disappointed. Weâve been scraping the money and preparing it, but how could you go to another guy like this?â
âNo, Iâ¦.â
âNo, no. Itâs all right. Maybe you were nervous because we were so slow. I understand. If a person is in a hurry, itâs possible.â
A man who calmly talks with a smile on his face. But the emotion contained in it was already aimed with the sword.
âBut even if it is, there are things you shouldnât do. Mr. Nam alsoâ¦â¦I donât think the young man around here knows.â
Tuk tuk.
Kang Yoo-sik had a strange look at the man tapping his shoulder.
âWhat the hell is going on here.â
Kang Yoo-sik had experienced a similar conversation in the past.
The first guild to join after graduating from school. When he tried his first conquest there, he failed and barely returned.
Kang Yoo-sik was caught by the collar and dragged to the guild masterâs room.
âThe weapon I gave you broke down suddenly and ran awayâ¦â¦ I understand. It can happen if a person is surprised.â
The guild leader who said sadly so looked at him who was kneeling on the floor with a deep sigh.
âBut even if it is, there are things you shouldnât do. I donât think my new guild member knows that yet.â
At the guild leaderâs gesture, the contract he signed came out, and there was an unheard-of condition that if he failed to conquest the dungeon, he had to pay back the amount.
âThis⦠I donât knowâ¦â¦!â
âIf you donât know, youâll have to experience it. Try hard from now on. Kang Yoo-sik.â
The contract that he wrote for the first time in his life and pushed himself to hell. The man who stuck it out is sitting next to him now.
âOh, I wasnât going to see him until I was readyâ¦â¦.â
I canât believe heâs even bringing such a good cause. I canât move on if itâs like this.
With a slight sigh, Kang Yoo-sik looked at Oh Ji-heon, a man with his hands on his shoulders.
(Robbed money 15 billion 785 million 30 thousand won)(Lotus Guild Master) (S-class skill awakened)
Memories that come to mind with memory maps as if he can never forget. Seeing it, Kang Yoo-sik slowly opened his mouth.
âIf you donât know, youâll have to experience it. The young boss might be a little upset, but you should think it was a life experienceâ¦â¦.â
âOh Ji-heon.â
Oh Ji-heonâs eyes wriggled at Kang Yoo-sikâs call, and he looked at him with a surprised look, removing his hand on his shoulder.
âDo you⦠know me?â
âI know you.â
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Oh Ji-heon, who forgot his honorifics, with a bright smile.
âItâs a problem because I know you too well.â
