Chapters Chapter 71. The man with the flute? (1/2)

Kang Chul-in was truly angry.

They definitely needed the 500L of the talking tree sap by today. If not, they wouldn’t be able to get 1500L, which made the 6000 bottles of Lang Bros.

In order to deliver their products in time, they needed to make sure that nothing went wrong.

But… only 60% of their expected amount had come.

“Huuu…”

Kang Chul-in inhaled deeply, trying his best not to explode in rage.

There must be a reason for this. Otherwise, there would be no shortage in supply. He knew that it wasn’t the civilians being lazy, there must be a cause. Whether it was enemy raid, a monster appearing, or something else.

But even though he knew this, it didn’t change the fact that he was angry.

This was a problem of trust.

Old man Kwon had completely put his trust in Kang Chul-in, and marketed a huge product, using his personal money and constructing the Galaxy Corporation.

He had taken care of Kwak-jung for him, given him a mansion in Seocho, as well as gotten him several cars.

If he was unable to meet his end of the bargain, that would make him nothing else but a liar.

Their harmonious relationship might break off, and it would also be embarrassing to face Old man Kwon like this.

For someone like Kang Chul-in, who never went back on his promises, this was very rage-inducing.

“Director, don’t you think we’re missing just a bit of product?”

The one in charge of shipping the products said.

“Yes, we are missing some.”

“There must be a problem in Pangaea. I will tell the higher-ups about the problems, so you should just get to putting it in the storage area.”

The ‘higher-ups’ he said was referring to Old man Kwon.

“Yes, director.”

And as soon as he ordered them, he rode on his Sesto Elemento, and headed towards Yeouido.

Because this dimensional door was not for humans, he had to go to the 63 building and move back towards Laputa.

“Old man.” Kang Chul-in decided to call Old man Kwon on the way.

“Kuku, what is it? Oh, is today when the products come in?”

“Old man, there’s a problem.”

Kang Chul-in decided to tell him the truth, and apologize. It wasn’t like Kang Chul-in to avoid these kind of things.

“Huh? What do you mean problem?”

“Only 300L of the products have come in. It looks like there’s a problem in our territory.”

“Oh, and here I was, thinking it was something big.”

Old man Kwon was surprisingly calm, and didn’t seem to care much.

“Kuku, these things happen when you do business.”

“You shouldn’t be feeling to well though?”

“Well, I trust you, so what is there to be upset about? Aren’t you going to solve the problem soon enough anyway?”

Old man Kwon really didn’t seem to mind.

“Oh, let me ask you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Remember… the peac.o.c.k dragon meat? Hmm… hmm… yes, that thing… was very good.”

Kang Chul-in suddenly felt that the talk was going to get annoying.

“The, you know, right?” “What?”

“The celebrity Lee Eun-mi! Ms. Lee Eun-mi.”

“Who is…”

“Huhu, do you not even watch TV shows or Drama? Tzzt tzzt, to think that you don’t even know the famous ‘Korean aunt.”

Hearing the phrase ‘Korean aunt’, Kang Chul-in thought of a middle-aged woman that was elegant.

“… Old man, are you doing romance?”

“Hmm… it just worked out this way…”

“You guys might have a large difference in age though…”

“IT’S ONLY 15 YEARS! SHE IS QUITE OLD TOO!”

It seemed like Old man Kwon was having the quite ‘greyish romance.’

“Anyway… can I ask you for some more of that Peac.o.c.k Dragon meat?”

“Please.”

“… Fine.”

“HAHA! I knew you were a reliable man. Well, how long would this take?”

“One week.”

“Well then, I’ll leave this to you. I have an appointment with Ms. Lee Eun-mi tomorrow, so…”

And at that moment…

“Mr. Hyung-woo, who are you calling?”

A voice that Kang Chul-in was familiar with spoke. It was a voice that he heard on TV.

Tuk!

Kang Chul-in hung up the call, and threw his phone to the seat next to him. Old man Kwon… this man truly had no scruples.

“Milord.”

When Kang Chul-in stepped out of the magic circle, Lucia came forth, and kneeled.

And of course, the same came for a lot of others. Nilus, Timothy, James, as well as the newly accepted Michael. All of the high-ranked members of Laputa came forth and bowed to him.

‘It seems that there truly is a problem.’

Kang Chul-in didn’t rage at them.

“Milord…”

Michael came forward, and once again kneeled before Kang Chul-in.

“Please kill me.”

And he handed his blade to Kang Chul-in.
