Chapters Chapter 224: Into the Dark Forest (1/2)
Marriage.
The crowning quest.
The Awakening quest.
As well as the Tagore soldiers. Leaving these things behind, Kang Chul-In immediately headed back towards the Pandemonium region.
Before getting into the Teleportation circle, Kang Chul-In vowed to himself that he would save Kim Sung-Hee.
Was this not a cool and badass woman?
The passion and the determination to get stronger.
Kim Sung-Hee had risked her life in order to gain strength, and this was something that Kang Chul-In extremely respected.
And not only that,
“If you save my daughter, I will help you expand your business and go overseas. For Old Man Kwon, it would be difficult to go anywhere other than maybe like Japan.”
“...”
“Sung-Hee is my precious daughter. For that child…”
“So, you wanna save your daughter and put your hands in my business?”
“...!”
“Really, do you think that half-assed acting would work against me? If you’re going to do that, look for someone else.”
“Pretty smart for a youngster. I thought you were just a strong…”
“Do you wanna die?”
“...!”
“This is between me and Kim Sung-Hee; it’s none of your business.”
“But I’m the father of…”
“The next time you continue to speak, I will break your teeth. Understand?”
“A-Alright… Please…”
He didn’t feel good that Kim Sung-Hee’s father was trying to use his daughter as a potential way to make money. And not only that, the fact that he was trying to use Kang Chul-In to make money as well didn’t sit well with him either.
“Let’s go, husband.”
The Ninetails pulled Kang Chul-In.
“Is it ready?”
The reason this was happening was that his servants argued that he should enjoy the company of the Ninetails. After all, it would only make sense if she was to become his wife.
Well, it shouldn’t be too bad anyway.
For once, Kang Chul-In agreed with them.
The Ninetails had come from a completely different environment than him.
There were a lot of things they had to work on.
“Huhu, a trip with my husband… I’m so excited.”
The Ninetails twisted her body, excited.
Boing.
The touch of something soft and bouncy landed on Kang Chul-In’s arm.
“Why aren’t you talking, husband?”
“...We’re in front of my subordinates right now.”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In tried to take out his arm from the Ninetails’s embrace.
“Hmph, mean!”
The Ninetails pouted.
But it wasn’t the expression of someone that was truly depressed or angry, because the Ninetails herself knew that Kang Chul-In had become much warmer compared to when they had first met.
“I will be back. I’m leaving everything up to you. Understood?’
“Yes, Milord. Have a good time!”
The subordinates spoke in unison.
***
A few hours after that, Kang Chul-In had left.
Timothy’s body shook, staring at a doc.u.ment.
It said the following:
Amount borrowed: 120,000 gold
Sale: 20,000 gold (20%)
Final fee: 100,000 gold
Payment form: Lump sum payment.
From: Overlord of the Dorado territory, Lee Chae-Rin
“W-What is this…”
“Obviously, it’s an invoice.”
The envoy and the foreign minister of the Dorado territory, the Dwarf Golgo, said.
M-Milord! Are you planning on killing me?!
Timothy inwardly despaired.
To think they had to immediately pay 100,000 gold at once… to him, who was supposed to manage the money in the territory, this was like the sky collapsing on him.
No, no... Let’s calm down, Timothy. Was I not the one to help the territory when it was in a state of poverty? There must be a method!
Timothy tried his best to remain cool-headed.
There had to be a solution to this.
And,
“Payment over time!”
