Episode 68.

“Oh my. Isn’t that Siwoo?”

The woman who found Siwoo asked in surprise.

Siwoo smiled awkwardly and got up from his seat.

“What are you doing here?”

“Oh, that’s right. I have something to tell you, ma’am.”

“To me?”

“yes.”

“Really? Then stay there for a moment.”

The woman started to organize something busily.

It seemed like he had just returned from shopping.

And is it really true that they are mother and daughter?

“Mango? Grape? Which do you like better?”

It was a lady who said the same thing as Ayun.

“Both are fine.”

Siwoo said, waving his hand slightly.

Then suddenly.

“So you don’t have to give it to me. Ayun gave me Shine Muscat.”

“Huh? Ayun?”

Then the woman tilted her head.

Then he glanced at the door Ayun had entered.

“This damn supporter. He told me and his father not to touch Shine Muscat, but now he’s giving it to Siwoo.”

-When did I ever do that!

“Oh, then should I eat the Shine Muscat in the fridge?”

-Well, eat it or not…!

Ayun’s voice was trembling slightly.

The old woman shook her head from side to side.

“There’s no use raising a daughter.”

Siwoo burst into laughter without realizing it.

Soon, the woman sat down at the table across from Si-woo.

“What brings you here in person?”

“That’s nothing else than the house I live in. Do you have any intention of selling it?”

“Why that all of a sudden?”

“that is….”

Siwoo chose his words in his head.

But I wonder if he interpreted Siwoo’s appearance in a slightly different way.

“Oh, don’t worry.”

The old woman waved her hands and shouted.

“I do plan on selling it, but I won’t sell it while Si-woo is still living there. Even if I do sell it, I’ll sell it when Si-woo moves somewhere else. Don’t worry. House prices have dropped so much these days that it’s not even selling…”

Then the lady started talking about this and that.

Let’s listen to that story quietly.

The current market price is around 180 million.

That dilapidated house is worth 180 million won.

Indeed, Seoul was Seoul.

They say it was originally 300 million.

But these days, with the price of houses in Seoul plummeting, it’s 180 million won.

Maybe that’s why, but the lady’s expression wasn’t very good.

It can’t be helped since 120 million flew away while I was sitting.

Oh my gosh, I thought Siwoo’s money was gone right now.

The clothes were so twisted.

Isn’t 120 million won the subscription fee for one month of Hwata membership?

“Interest rates have also risen, so loan interest rates have also risen so much….”

The old woman let out a deep sigh.

But that was only for a moment.

“What am I talking about? Anyway, I won’t sell it until Mr. Si-woo lives there. Don’t worry and live.”

The old woman said with a refreshing smile.

At the woman’s words, Siwoo shook his head slightly.

“That’s not what I meant. If you’re thinking of selling, I’d like to buy the house.”

“huh?”

Then the woman tilted her head.

A momentary dazed expression.

“Mr. Siwoo, how are things going?”

“Because things are going well. As you know, I am an Awakened One.”

Then the old woman opened her eyes wide and looked surprised.

“Oh my goodness. Mr. Siwoo, you finally became a hunter, then?”

“Yes. It was worth the effort.”

“Oh my! Congratulations, really!”

My mother was as happy as if it were her own business.

The lady didn’t know much about how the hunter industry worked.

A world still unknown to the general public.

Before YouTube became popular, it was a completely different world.

If you become a hunter, you can make a lot of money.

You only knew that much, but you didn’t know the details.

“Thanks to you, I have some extra money. So I’m thinking about buying that house… .”

“Rather than moving to another house. You know, that house. It’s so old, it’s a bit difficult to live in.”

“I’m very attached to you.”

I was also thinking of remodeling it.

The lady said with a kind smile.

“If Mr. Si-woo lives, I’ll give you 150 million.”

“Huh? Isn’t it too cheap?”

“Oh, I know you’ve been through a lot, Siwoo, but this is all I can do. Even if you put it out there now, it won’t sell for that price. So just take it.”

Seriously.

He is a good person.

It was such great luck that this person was my landlord.

So, Siwoo was able to add more confidence to his thoughts.

“No. I’ll buy it for a billion.”

“……?”

Then the old woman’s expression became blank.

The original price of the cigar was 180 million won.

Even considering the original price, it’s 300 million.

But 1 billion?

It was an excessive amount, even excessive.

But Siwoo didn’t think that way at all.

“If it weren’t for you, Seo-ah and I might have died on the street.”

It must have been true, not just an empty remark.

Until recently, Siwoo was struggling in poverty.

It was difficult not only because I didn’t have enough money for Seo-ah’s hospital bills, but also because I didn’t have enough money for daily living expenses.

The deposit was long gone.

There were many cases where the monthly rent was several months overdue.

Water bills, gas bills, electricity bills, etc.

I was always in trouble because I couldn’t pay my utility bills.

The lady understood that.

He felt sorry for Siwoo’s situation and helped him a lot.

You waited for me to pay my overdue rent without kicking me out.

He even paid utility bills without knowing it.

Thanks to that, I was able to wash my body with warm water.

Even in the cold wave, I was able to warm my body up a little.

I was able to avoid losing my space to lie down, rather than on the street.

Of course, the value did not reach 1 billion won.

However, the price of the heart that Si-woo received was less than 1 billion won.

If I thought of it as repaying that favor, it wasn’t excessive at all.

Confucius also said:

[Repay kindness with virtue, and resentment with honesty.]

The landlady’s kindness is in the form of money.

The grudge of Pandemonium criminals is met with fists.

‘But Confucius is more hot-tempered than I thought.’

Benevolence and righteousness.

Propriety and knowledge.

He emphasized the virtues of a gentleman, but did not necessarily become bound by them.

On the other hand, he said that the vicious beasts that harm humanity and righteousness should be killed.

Especially the grudge is direct.

He said that we should repay in kind what we have received.

However, ‘A gentleman’s gratitude to his friend will not be tarnished for ten years.’

He said that a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even if it takes ten years, and urged people to be careful in their actions.

So, he told me not to act hastily and to be sure.

He was not a scholar as I thought… no, he was not a noble scholar.

Well, anyway.

“10 billion?”

The old woman was in a daze.

But that was only for a moment.

“A billion? That, that’s too much…”

The old woman stubbornly refused.

In times like this, it’s okay to pretend you can’t win.

“Ayun is a senior in high school this year. She’ll be spending a lot of money on tuition and other things, so please save it.”

“That, that is….”

“First of all, if I go to college next year, I’ll have to pay a lot of tuition, right?”

“still….”

The old woman couldn’t nod easily.

SH Group headquarters building.

Chairman of SH Group, eldest son of Han Tae-san and uncle of Han Chae-rin, Director Han Gwan-guk.

“This is a strange thing. The director of the inspection bureau came to see me in person.”

Han Gwan-guk greeted Baek Seon-je with a smile.

Baek Seon-je also responded with a gentle smile.

“I am the one who came unexpectedly, and I am at a loss for what to do with the hospitality you have given me.”

“It’s none other than the Director of the Inspection Bureau. I have to come out barefoot to greet you. Please take a seat first.”

Han Gwan-guk guided Baek Seon-je to the sofa in front.

The two of them faced each other like that.

Baek Seon-je slowly opened his mouth.

“It looks like Ms. Han Chae-rin has a separate office building.”

“This, this. You came to find my nephew, not me?”

Han Gwan-guk showed a slightly disappointed expression.

Baek Seon-je slightly shook his head and answered.

“That’s not true, but as a fellow Awakened, I’m curious. Doesn’t everyone in the world know that Han Chae-rin is very talented?”

“Are you saying that the director of the inspection bureau is also taking note of it?”

“Of course. If I had the chance, I would like to recruit him as a guard.”

“I know that becoming a Garder is not something that can be done simply with skill.”

Of course, the most important thing was skill.

But no matter how good your skills are, if your character is 0, you can’t become a guard.

Aren’t they the ones dealing with criminals in the first place?

“I heard that Ms. Han Chae-rin has been recognized by Master Aurelian. Her personality as a guard is more than enough to pass the test.”

“Haha. I’m so happy that the inspector general thinks so highly of my nephew.”

Han Gwan-guk continued speaking with a hearty laugh.

“But you really shouldn’t recruit him. Our nephew is the pillar of the SH Group. You shouldn’t let the Director of the Inspection Bureau become an industrial spy.”

“That’s what I meant.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, Han Gwan-guk opened his mouth again.

“I’m more curious about why you came to see me.”

“Isn’t the SH Group a pillar of the Korean economy? What kind of person is the director who leads the SH Group? I wanted to meet him in person.”

“Isn’t the Director of the Inspection Bureau the great person responsible for Korea’s safety?”

“I’m just a handyman who knows how to use some force. However, running a company isn’t something you can do just by being able to use some force. You have to be good at pleasing your superiors. You have to be good at business and sales…”

A moment of silence.

“Sometimes, you have to stab your family in the back.”

Han Gwan-guk’s expression hardened at Baek Seon-je’s words.

Baek Seon-je looked at Han Gwan-guk for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth.

“I am in the position of the director of the inspection bureau, but I have no intention of controlling my family affairs.”

“……”

“But.”

Baek Seon-je’s eyes shone sharply.

“Let family affairs remain family affairs.”

“……”

“Let me be a little more direct. Whether or not Ms. Han Chae-rin is removed from SH Group, the inspection agency has no interest in it.”

Han Gwan-guk said nothing.

To be exact, I couldn’t say anything.

That would be the case, since Baek Seon-je now knows everything.

Han Gwan-guk’s expression hardened.

Between those expressions on Han Gwan-guk’s face.

“Maeng Si-woo.”

Baek Seon-je brought out an unexpected name.

“I think you know that name.”

Baek Seon-je asked.

As expected, Han Gwan-guk didn’t say anything.

“I won’t ask why you know that name.”

“……”

“Also, what do you think of that name? I won’t ask you that either.”

And then, Baek Seon-je’s last words continued quietly.

“Domestic affairs should always be kept as a family matter.”

Han Gwan-guk couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

Baek Seon-je knows everything.

Han Kwan-guk is trying to expel Han Chae-rin from SH Group.

However, Han Chae-rin’s position was strengthened through this S-rank dungeon raid.

The fact that a man named Maeng Si-woo helped Han Chae-rin in that raid.

So, Han Gwan-guk tried to investigate Maeng Si-woo on the condition that he would look after Pandemonium.

Baek Seon-je knows all about it.

Thus, Baek Seon-je’s words say that family affairs should be left to the family.

That means.

At the same time, he said that he would not sit idly by if he were to get involved in pandemonium one more time.

It was a warning not to touch Maeng Si-woo any more.

Warning to the directors of SH Group.

It was truly rude and arrogant.

But if the target is Baekseonje, the story is different.

Director of the Inspection Bureau of the Republic of Korea.

Baek Seon-pyeong’s son.

Baek Seon-pyeong, one of the 13 heroes who saved humanity.

Behind Baekseonje is Baekseonpyeong.

Even the SH Group can’t do anything about Baek Seon-pyeong.

It is possible to move the political world to pressure the inspecting country.

But it is not Baek Seon-pyeong.

It is an entity that cannot be touched or touched.

I don’t know why Baek Seon-je is protecting Maeng Si-woo.

But this warning could never be ignored.

But likewise.

Baek Seon-je also could not do whatever he wanted with the SH Group.

SH Group is a mega-corporation that dominates the Korean business and political world.

Even if it was Baekseonje, he couldn’t act rashly.

“I guess I’ll call it a day for today.”

Baek Seon-je slowly got up from his seat.

And then I started walking out of this room.

Han Gwan-guk sat there quietly.

A silence descended upon this room.

Crack!

All that could be heard was the sound of teeth grinding.

* * *

The woman eventually decided to hand over the house for 1 billion won.

In the process, there had to be some persuasion on the part of Siwoo, but whatever.

“You can ask So-eun for the construction materials….”

There were no problems building the new house.

No, rather the problem was on the other side.

“Building a house is more complicated than I thought….”

To be exact, the various administrative procedures could be said to be complicated.

Along with the transfer of registration, there are also building permits and such.

I wonder what permission I need to tear down my house and rebuild it.

I need to build a house as soon as possible.

It could take months just to get permission.

In short, it meant that I had to go back and forth collecting documents for several months.

“I haven’t even been able to upload YouTube videos lately.”

But Siwoo couldn’t afford that.

Even now, the comment section is flooded with people asking why the video hasn’t been uploaded.

“I also need to make equipment to deliver to So-eun.”

It didn’t end there.

I realized this clearly while fighting these Pandemonium criminals.

“I need gear too.”

That means you can’t fight with your bare hands forever.

This also required the work of farming and gathering good materials.

“ha….”

Seriously, I didn’t even have 10 bodies left.

But, what can I do?

One by one. Step by step.

I have to do it, no matter what.

“Let’s solve the housing problem first.”

There was no other reason.

Confucius said,

Harmony in the family makes everything successful.

If the family is harmonious, everything will go well.

Cultivate yourself, save your family, govern your country, and bring peace to the world.

If you start by putting order in your own home, you can bring peace to the world.

As the saying goes, it would be good to start by solving domestic problems.

However, the complex administrative procedures related to construction permits could not proceed quickly.

As short as a few months.

It is something that can take years.

But for Siwoo, there was another transcendent being who reigned above the law.

“I should go and ask Han Chae-rin right now.”

I don’t know for sure, but if you borrow the name of SH Heavy Industries, it will be a breeze.

No, is it SH Construction?

Anyway, if we borrowed the name of SH Group, it would be quick.

The problem is whether Han Chae-rin will stand up for Si-woo… .

“The Master asked me to do something, so of course I must do it.”

A situation where Siwoo can be said to be Han Chae-rin’s teacher.

Confucius also said about this:

A disciple should treat his teacher like heaven─.

“…Let’s stop.”

I didn’t know I would become a real nerd like this.

anyway.

Siwoo’s hands began to tremble.

How can you not be shaken when 2 billion evaporates with this one touch?

But hold on.

Siwoo finally pressed the sign up button.

2 billion evaporated with it.

This would result in 3.1 billion evaporating every month.

[Account Balance] – 7,514,534,500￦

The remaining money is 7.5 billion.

If you subtract 1 billion from the house price, it becomes 6.5 billion.

It was just enough money to last two months.

“……”

Oh my gosh, I’m ascending.

My mind is wandering.

All the emptiness of the world.

Only.
