Chapter 270
Chi-Hyun stared silently at the flustered and nervous hero before him He didn’t even remember who this person was If Chi-Hyun must describe this visitor, he would say his head looked exactly like a 100 auy looked like, Chi-Hyun was more baffled by the process of how this hero ca on his hen he suddenly heard an alare froe, he was astonished to read that his brother was sending someone to talk to him and he should hear the person out It was like his brother expected hi Next ti Even if he could’ve at least let that part slide, though, the e that came after that was even more unbelievable
[Chi-Woo -> (Sent): Just to clarify, I a you, Mr Choi Chi-Hyun, under my master’s orders As the disciple, you must know that I cannot defy my master’s orders I hope that you will keep this in s]
Chi-Woo basically e to you, but I had no choice’; but he said it in a twisted and roundabout way that irked Chi-Hyun Especially the part where he wrote ‘Mr Choi Chi-Hyun’ er If Chi-Woo had been standing next to him, Chi-Hyun would’ve hit his brother hard on his head a couple of times to knock some sense back into him
‘This bastard I should really…’ Chi-Hyun had a strong urge to chase after his brother now and s him how he dare act so insolent to his older brother But it was Zelit’s words that held him back
—Um…ah…are you really Chi-Woo’s…no…anyways…are you really his older brother, sir?
This guy knew Chi-Woo’s identity, and currently, there weren’t many who did The only ones who kneere a couple of close cohts While there were a lot eneral, it was still a very small number Chi-Hyun realized there was one more to that number now As the older brother, Chi-Hyun wasn’t pleased, but it seemed Chi-Woo was the one who revealed his identity to this hero given the circus since there uy like Chi-Woo, who didn’t like to receive unnecessary attention and liked privacy, would tell his secret
Thus, Chi-Hyun caler and decided to hear Zelit out “Did you come all this way to ask that?”
“Ah, no,” Zelit answered even in his unsettled state His face was bright red He wanted to slam his forehead onto the wall hundreds of times when he remembered what had just happened, but he needed to focus on this conversation “Sorry, I was just a bit taken aback… Anyways, this is reed to meet me once more”
“We met before?”
“Sorry? Ah, yes, we did at the former capital of Salem…”
“Is that so? I don’t recall that I only res that have value”
With his keen senses, Zelit quickly caught on that Chi-Hyun was telling him to not waste anyhile Thus, Zelit i on a project, but I lack the necessary funds to complete it Thus, I want to ask if you could lend me some money”
“Money…? Did Chi-Woo say that I would lend you money if you asked e a et theZelit’s response It wasn’t a friendly or welcoh of a reason to come toand lending money, I don’t knohy you would have to come all the way to my office to ask me”
“I already borrowed many times from Chichi…no, Choi Chi…ah, damn Anyways, the amount of money I want to ask for is on another scale froement,” Zelit explained the situation as it ithout e this, one of Chi-Hyun’s eyebrows rose
“That guy just lent you his money?”
“Yes, a couple of ti away someone who didn’t pay him back and came to borrow more money, Chi-Woo introduced him to Chi-Hyun… This made Chi-Hyun wonder Chi-Hyun knew his brother’s personality better than anyone else His brother wasn’t the type to be overly greedy, but he also wasn’t one to risk losses If soo of it easily Thus, it was ave his money away not just once, but two times, which stirred up Chi-Hyun’s curiosity He wondered what exactly made Chi-Woo open his wallet
“…Tell ave his peran, and when Chi-Hyun heard the explanation, he looked uncharacteristically taken aback If everything went according to what this long-headed guy planned, it would be an acceptable investood,’ Chi-Hyun thought after hearing the whole explanation This project wasn’t for one person’s self-gain; it was soeneral population;idea
‘Divided into classes according to tiers, individuals operating in autono public institutions, their private jurisdictions aren’t violated Of course, that runs the risk of extralegal activities increasing, but…' The ht about it, the more the idea impressed him It combined individual authority, duty, and freedoht not be easy to solidify the syste this system on his planet, it won’t be a proble to do sohts one of these days since recently, they had gotten overboard Though they didn’t do anything against the law, they were essentially abusing the syste, it appeared that resources would be excessively concentrated on one side But if they established Zelit’s new systehts in check, and a new organization that they wouldn’t be able to easily do anything against would foret rid of all the bothersos Chi-Hyun had to deal with eventually, and there was no reason for him to turn away from this project
‘This orth my time,’ Chi-Hyun concluded This plan was beyond his expectations If he could, he wanted to discuss it all night long In the end, Chi-Hyun turned to Zelit
“What’s your name?”
“It’s Zelit, sir”
‘So, it’s Zelit instead of Zealot?’ [1] Chi-Hyun nodded and thought he should remember this na Did Chi-Woo know the exact worth of the drea into reality that he kept lending hisabout the way an econoree with your plan and give you your money?”
“No, sir”
“?”
“I just told hi and needed ave me the funds”
“He didn’t even ask about the plan?”
“Yes, he didn’t Even I was taken aback then, but he told ht…”
Chi-Hyun ain’ As someone who abided by the axiom that ‘data and research never lie’, this was con territory to hiht Even if it was a good idea, it was still all armchair theory at the moment There were no faults to it on paper, but as they put the idea into reality and got into the details, cracks between the two—idea and reality—would slowly reveal theh he had been forced to back away before, he decided to believe his brother’s judg catastrophic would happen even if the implementation of the plan ended up lackluster
In the end, Chi-Hyun turned on his celestial device and called soed a couple of words with the ivory hair opened the door and came inside
“Where should I put this?” Noel asked Chi-Hyun jerked his chin at Zelit’s direction, and Noel placed a bundle before him Thump! The bundle made a heavy thud as it hit the table
“Here’s 300,000 royals”
Zelit coughed roughly before he could even look inside the bag Not 30,000 royals, but 300,000? He ca to borrow about 10,000 to 20,000 royals, and thus, this suh that it shocked him
“I-It’s tooto start with a s the situation, but there’s no need for that” In other words, Chi-Hyun was telling Zelit to expand the size of his project and act all out on his drea expenses and the taxes you’ll have to pay And a building…no, it’s probably better for you to just set up a new one”
Zelit once again caught onto what Chi-Hyun was telling hiht aith his quick wits: that he shouldn’t focus on anything but this project
