Chapters Chapter 146. Old man Kwon’s request. (1/2)
“I didn’t notice before, but you have quite a weird habit of getting angry for something trivial at times.”
Kang Chul-In stared at old man Kwon, speechless.
“Huh? I do?”
“I mean, why is your face red in anger over such a small thing?”
Truly, old man Kwon’s response was quite strange.
An old man that hadn’t raised a single dog before was suddenly asking for a pet from him?
“Well… that’s because I want a pet from Pangaea…”
“Then, why don’t you just buy one from an adventurer? It’s not like you don’t have the money… Do you want me to ask for some?”
“Of course, you might think that. It makes sense that you are quite astonished since I’m giving you a large sum of money for this.”
“That’s right.”
Kang Chul-In nodded.
“But no matter how much I think about it, you’re the only that can help me get a pet that I want.”
“...?”
“As you may already know, it’s kind of a trend, raising pets from Pangaea.”
This was something that had occurred after the dimensional gate appeared.
When the people from Earth changed Pangaea, things from Pangaea also came to Earth and changed people’s lives.
This was the same for pets.
The strange and mysterious pets from Pangaea were a step above the ones on Earth.
Talking cats, unicorns, and even spirits like the salamander. There were so many things that would make a mere cat or dog look normal in comparison.
“But the thing is… I don’t have a pet myself.”
“Then buy one? You can buy one, so why are you asking me? Don’t tell me that you’re going to take all the money you’ve gotten and take it with you to your grave…”
When Kang Chul-In said that, old man Kwon’s body shivered involuntarily. Was this young man in front of him trying to take his entire fortune?
“T-That’s not true. Of course I’m planning on spending it before I die.”
“Dammit.”
Kang Chul-In muttered.
W-Was he for real…
Cold sweat running down his back, old man Kwon once again realized how great Kang Chul-In’s appetite for money was.
“What’s the problem, then?”
“Well… there’s a club that I’m part of. It’s a kind of Silver Club.”
“Is that a sort of college for old people?”
“Well, it’s sort of different. If you want to join this club, even having 100 million dollars won’t be enough.”
“...Of course.”
It seemed like there was a group of old, rich people that had a hobby of raising Pangaean pets.
“The people in our club go around showing off their own pets, but me… I don’t have a pet! Does that make sense? Think about it. My partner isn’t a random adventurer; it’s you. This isn’t befitting of a powerful person like you.”
“Ah, I understand now.”
Kang Chul-In nodded.
“So basically… you wanna raise a pet, but it’d be kind of shameful and lame to raise an ordinary one… So you want me to get you a precious and rare one.”
“Exactly! That stupid Kim… Just because he has some stupid dark leopard cubs he dares to ignore me and show off in front of me like that? Just wait, I’ll definitely tear…”
Though a dark leopard wasn’t an extremely powerful breed, it was precious and famed for its incredible speed and beautiful fur.
“Anyway, to crush that Kim… I need a pet that’s better and more precious than a Dark Leopard. Alright?”
“Don’t tell me...”
“Huh?”
“Is that Kim you’re talking about… President Kim Hyun-Sung of the Gusung company?”
“H-How’d you know that?”
“...It’s a female then.”
“What?”
“The pet of that Kim Hyun-Sung is from her daughter, who is an adventurer. Her pet is a Dark Leopard.”
“I-Is that so? Don’t tell me that you won’t… be able to get something more precious than a Dark Leopard…”
Old man Kwon said, his face downcast. It seemed like he really wanted to show off in front of that President Kim.
“Though it will take some time, I’ll get you a beast that’s more precious than a Dark Leopard. But it’ll take at least a month or two.”
“Really?”
“...?”
“Kuhahaha~!”
Old man Kwon started laughing.
“As expected of you! Who can I make such a request to, other than you! Haha!”
“...”
“Yep, what worth is a mere 40 million when you’re letting me show off in front of that stupid Kim? Kuhahaha~! Just you wait, stupid Kim!”
Old man Kwon laughed, seemingly fantasizing about showing off in front of President Kim of the Gusung company.
