The next day the people I was expecting arrived.
“Youunnnnng Ma.s.steeerrrr!”
Kw.a.n.g Du rushed at me as if he hadn’t seen me for dozens of years.
I stepped to the side and walked up to Kong Su Chan that was behind him.
“You must be tired from your journey.”
“Have you been well, sir?”
Kw.a.n.g Du made a face of dissatisfaction seeing me greet Kong Su Chan first.
“Ehh, so you are taking care of your money first.”
“Hoho so you consider manager Kong as my wallet right?”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
Kong Su Chan just gave the fl.u.s.tered Kw.a.n.g Du a smile, “It’s all right.”
“No that’s not what I meant.”
“I am someone who manages money. I don’t feel bad being considered a wallet.”
“No that’s not what I meant but why are you like this? Didn’t we have a good time on our way here? Huh?”
Seeing Kw.a.n.g Du here brightened my mood. This was a special trait about Kw.a.n.g Du.
Kw.a.n.g Du came next to me and said, “I understand why you took care of him first. You are the type that saves the best for last.”
“No I think you misunderstood me. I think if you save something for too long it would turn bad.”
With a frown Kw.a.n.g Du pretended he hadn’t heard what I said to him.
“You must be tired from your journey. Lets eat first since you may be hungry.”
Seeing the dishes that were limited to Ho Buk, Kw.a.n.g Du eyes brightened. I ordered them especially for him.
“Wow! It’s really good. This is definitely the capital. Nothing in San Dong can compare to this place!”
“Eat as much as you want! If you want more I will order it for you.”
“Young master! I only have you young master.”
After feeding them, we started talking.
“How are my parents doing?”
“They are doing well.”
“Don’t they miss me?”
“They didn’t say anything like that.”
“Hmph, they wouldn’t.”
“Since you are still young you don’t know. Parents also want their children to be independent from them. Until when will they take care of their child? You should go and look for them once in a while young master.”
“Hahaha.”
Since he attacked me I should return the favor. There was something that still poked a nerve.
“How is Do Soon-ee?”
“Ah, just as I was about to forget it, you remind me again.”
“How can you forget your first love?”
“I told you it’s not my first love.”
Kong Soo Chan was laughing next to me. It looked as if he would bet that it was Kw.a.n.g Du’s first love.
“But young master, don’t you miss Lady Song?”
“Is she well?”
“She became more beautiful.”
“How do you know?”
“She came to see the mistress again.”
I felt thankful for her again since she was taking care of my mother when I was away from home. But I already knew that she was doing this to look good in front of me. She was experiencing changes in her life. The part the she considered irrelevant is now more relevant to her. Because of this she is taking care of my mother.
This is how changes are.
Once one thing changes, everything else changes.
After hearing the news about San Dong, I told them the reason why I brought them here.
“We are going to make a merchant guild.”
Kong Soo Chan nodded his head as if he was already expecting this.
“I was expecting you to say something like this since you brought me all the way here.”
“What do you think?”
“It isn’t easy creating a merchant guild. First we need a large investment.”
“I know. I don’t plan of making a big one at first. Let’s start with a small one first. But you have to take into account that we will be ever-expanding.”
“Expanding as in?”
“I plan on having this guild in almost every city in the central plain. Although we may start small. This will be considered the root of this operation. I am saying to not make a straw house but make a house with a solid groundwork since we need a strong foundation.”
It may sound easy, but it was no small effort. Kong Soo Chang nodded slowly.
“I understand what you mean.”
There was strong expectation in Kong Soo Chan’s eyes. Maybe this was something that he dreamt of.
“And please make it so that we can communicate between here and San Dong.”
“Understood sir, leave it to me.”
“How much do you think you might need?”
“From my calculations in order to start we might need at least fifty thousand nyang and…”
I handed him a bank card. This was something that I had prepared beforehand.
“Here is hundred thousand nyang. Use that for now.”
Kong Soo Chan was surprised. Kw.a.n.g Du who was standing next to us was even more surprised.
“Can I touch it?”
Kw.a.n.g Du stroke the bank card.
If it was me from before, I would never have even thought of using the money that I stole from the villains. Since I thought that it was not just.
But those thoughts are now irrelevant since I will not repeat the past. There are many regrets and mistakes that I made back then.
Rather than dwelling in the past, I will pay more attention to my current life.
Although this money came from an evil place the money itself wasn’t evil. Just the person who was using it. I didn’t care how the money went back into circulation since Kang Ho wouldn’t care how I spend it.
“This is enough sir. I could do everything you said and more with it.”
“If you need some more please ask me and don’t be hesitant in using the money. I’ll leave everything in your capable hands.”
“Please leave it to me.”
