Chapters Chapter 172: Pangaea World (pt. 2) (1/2)
It wasn’t possible for a normal adventurer to capture a level 50 Gorgatris alive.
It might be possible to kill it in a raid, but it would be impossible to capture it alive and bring it to Earth.
“How about if it’s a giant guild or a clan?”
“Also impossible. There’s a limit to adventurers. For example, is it possible for a caveman to kill a modern-day soldier?”
“That bad, huh…?”
“That’s the difference between a Lord and an adventurer.”
“Hm… Looking at you makes me believe that. President Moon, that cheeky old man… Looks like he’s gotten himself a Lord as his partner? Maybe I should be a little more careful from now on.”
“Careful?”
“Don’t we have a new competitor now unlike before when we were almost monopolizing South Korea?”
“Hmph, what competition?”
Kang Chul-In smirked.
“There is no competition for me.”
“Huh?”
“Who dares to?”
“Ha…”
“...?”
“Sometimes, it’s not very good to be that confident.”
As if he were talking from experience, Old Man Kwon gave advice.
“The world is wide, and there are many strong people. I, myself, also thought that I was definitely the strongest in South Korea. That changed when I met my sworn brother. Oh, I’m not saying that you should look down on yourself. I’m just saying that sometimes you need to know to lower yourself, and that you shouldn’t look down on…”
“Old man.”
“Huh?”
“How many lords do you think are stronger than me?”
Kang Chul-In’s sudden question startled Old Man Kwon.
“You mean your rank?”
Old Man Kwon seemed to speculate for quite a bit of time, and opened his mouth cautiously. He knew that Kang Chul-In was a Lord, but he didn’t have any information on the Lord rankings.
“Maybe 15th…?”
“1st.”
“Kuk!”
“I’m 1st on the Overlord rankings.”
“Huk…! You were an Overlord? A-And, you’re ranked 1st?”
Old Man Kwon was extremely shocked.
He knew how strong Kang Chul-In was, but he didn’t know that he would be the strongest.
“You disappoint me. I didn’t think that I would need to tell you myself for you to know that.”
Kang Chul-In spoke, his face stiff.
“N-No!! I-It’s just a misunderstanding.”
“No, I know how you think of me now.”
“I told you, it was a mis…”
“Looks like I’ll have to go look for a new partner. One that doesn’t think lowly of me this time.”
“N-No, it was my fault!”
Realizing he had made a mistake, Old Man Kwon begged.
“Huhu... Huhuhuhu…”
Old Man Kwon laughed embarrassedly, and tried to appease Kang Chul-In’s anger.
“Hm… What can I do to make it so that you’re not angry at me anymore?”
Old Man Kwon offered.
“If you can calm down, there’s nothing I can’t do. Come on, just tell me what you want. I’ll do it for you.”
“Ferrari.”
“...!”
“I don’t have a Ferrari in my collection.”
Old Man Kwon realized---
Dammit!
That he had been baited.
It was the 3rd time now, after having to give Kang Chul-In a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, and a Bugatti supersport.
“I-Is that so? Haha… There can’t not be a Ferrari in your collection…! S-So, the model that you want…?”
“LaFerrari.”
“U-Ugh…”
Old Man Kwon was startled.
“P-Please forgive me this once… A LaFerrari is practically impossible to…”
“I thought I saw a LaFerrari in the parking lot? Are my eyes weird?”
“...!”
“I need to guess whose car that is, then. I mean, the president of the company’s car is a porsche, and someone else rides a LaFerrari? I wonder how great that person is, then, for them to…”
“Here you go.”
With trembling hands, Old Man Kwon handed something towards Kang Chul-In. It was a car key, with the logo of Ferrari on it. Even though Old Man Kwon was a Porsche maniac, he also owned a LaFerrari.
“Thanks.”
Laughing, Kang Chul-In took the car key from the old man.
“Don’t worry about Pangaea World. They’ll die off soon enough.”
“Alright…”
Maybe because he had just been ripped off a LaFerrari, Old Man Kwon’s voice was powerless.
“And also the competitors.”
“Right… You’re the 1st ranked Overlord, so you’ll take care of them yourself.”
“Finally…”
Kang Chul-In added.
“You don’t need to be so focused on monopolizing the market.”
“Hm?”
“Even though we are monopolizing the market right now, in the long-term it won’t bring good benefits to us, or to the consumers. Sometimes, we need a running-mate in order to compete with us. And…”
Kang Chul-In added.
“There aren’t any normal people that aim for a monopoly. All of them were human sc.u.m.”
It was something sincere that came out from his heart, aimed at some other people.

A week passed.
-After the opening of the Pangaea World, an amazing average of 300,000 people have come to visit. It is said that there are at least 50,000 foreigners that have also come to look…
-The city of Seoul will place more police in order to protect the many people visiting Pangaea World, and would like to ask people to temporarily stop visiting Pangaea World.
Although South Korea and the world focused on Pangaea World, the Kang Chul-In family was quiet about it.
Since Pangaea was her hometown, Pangaea World was nothing to Arshelly. To her, the place called ‘school’ was far more interesting than Pangaea World.
Even though Park Sun-Ja was originally somewhat interested, she also stopped paying attention seeing that both Kang Chul-In and Arshelly didn’t seem to care whatsoever.
I’ll return in 2 days.
This was the first thing that Kang Chul-In thought as he opened the door to his house.
He was planning to take care of internal affairs, personal training, and also hunting for items.
Basically, it meant that he would throw away all interest in hunting Rothschild down, and prepare for the upcoming dragon hunt.
I’ll need to call that idiot.
Kang Chul-In thought of the pushover, Dorian.
“Wow! This is so tasty!”
He heard a somewhat familiar, and boisterous voice somewhere. It seemed that person was eating something.
“Oh, is it good?”
Park Sun-Ja’s voice could also be heard.
“Yes, it’s amazing!”
“Hohoho~! It makes me happy that Dorian likes it.”
Speak of the Devil...
“Is it possible for me to visit here often?”
“Of course~! Actually, my son doesn’t have many friends. Maybe it’s because of his somewhat cold personality, but it would be great if you came to visit and take care of him.”
“Pft… I knew it. That guy’s personality is absolute tra---, I mean... s-sorry.”
“No, it’s alright. It’s not like his personality has ever been good… But Dorian, please take care of him, and stay near him, okay?”
“Of course! Haha! Actually, even this time I helped Chul-In out a lot. That guy actually relies on me a lot, even though he doesn’t seem to realise it. Hahaha!”
And Kang Chul-In’s response to that---
Where does this idiot think he is?
Wasn’t good.
“Ah~! This is really good. Amazing.”
Not realizing that the Grim Reaper had come, Dorian continued to eat his gan-jang gejang, or soy crab.
“What are you doing in my house?”
Kang Chul-In growled.
“Oh, I’m eating. Kang Chul-In, your mother’s cooking is amazing! Ah~! British food is absolutely terrible compared to this. Can you let me take some of the… Wait a minute…”
Tak…
Finally discovering that Kang Chul-In was here, Dorian accidentally dropped the chopsticks and spoon he held.
“S-Son?”
Park Sun-Ja also had a startled expression on her face when she discovered Kang Chul-In.
“I’ll go to the shop since I’m a little busy. You two have a nice time~!”
Park Sun-Ja quickly left.
She had betrayed Dorian.
“K-Kang Chul-In?”
“Absolute trash…? I didn’t think that’s what you thought of me.”
“N-No…!”
“And.”
