Chapter 295: Throwing a fit can be beneficial 2 (1/2)
Stupid phone salesman.
That was probably the title Ju-Heon used when they first met.
At first, he wondered how there could be such a crazy bastard. But it was different now. Chairman Kwon's mind was complicated now that he had a bit of the memories of the past.
Why? The bastard he thought was a random lunatic actually had a deep relationship with him.
Furthermore, if what the artifact showed him was true, Ju-Heon was his lackey.
Chairman Kwon was extremely angry at the fact that someone like that got in his way so much.
‘This dog-like son of a bitch!’
He looked as if he would have sneered at Ju-Heon if they were face to face.
But Chairman Kwon seemed to be scared about something after seeing those memories. His hand still could not stop shaking.
Ju-Heon commented at that moment, as if he knew what Chairman Kwon was scared about.
[I heard you received the memory artifact from Yang Chen. How much were you able to figure out?]
“……!”
[Did you manage to get any information about important tombs or artifacts? You probably don’t know a thing.]
Ju-Heon’s tone was making Chairman Kwon close to raging in anger.
“You son of a bitch.”
That was right. This was what Chairman Kwon was scared about.
People tend to be scared about things they don’t know. He was feeling scared that Ju-Heon had information he didn’t know about.
Furthermore, the information Ju-Heon seemed to have was at no ordinary level.
A person from the future. If he knew everything that happened in the future, nothing in this world could compare to him.
And if the future he saw was the one that was supposed to happen, that was an even greater problem.
He saw a society dominated by the monopolizers. Seo Ju-Heon was changing that future completely.
This bastard was someone who should have worked as his slave for 10 years! And, although he couldn’t be sure, he probably didn’t keep the promise he made with Ju-Heon. Knowing that Ju-Heon probably had grudges against him made it even scarier.
He was scared this bastard would gobble him up. He didn't know what this bastard was planning to do with him. He didn’t know how to deal with this bastard who was changing the future!
It would be one thing if he remembered everything. That might be why Chairman Kwon thoroughly rejected the notion that what he saw was the future.
“I don’t know what the hell you did, but I can tell that the future that this bastard Yang Chen showed me is a lie.”
“!”
Yang Chen almost jumped in shock.
”Chairman-nim……what do you…ugh!”
Boom!
Yang Chen was having trouble breathing after being instantly choked.
Chairman Kwon glared at Yang Chen with his bloodshot eyes while his hand was squeezing Yang Chen’s neck.
[U, ugh! Chairman…nim……! Please don't do……th…]
[This despicable bastard. I wondered why you showed up but you showed up as Seo Ju-Heon's spy?]
[T, that’s not…… ugh!]
[I should have figured it out from the moment you claimed to have broken out of that prison. Did Seo Ju-Heon let you out to do this?]
[A, aaah! Please trust……!]
[Trust you? Are you trying to rile me up? Believing that future means that I was bitten by a dog that I raised.]
[Ugh!]
Ju-Heon was clutching his stomach and laughing as he heard Yang Chen suffocating.
‘This stupid old bastard.’
He was trying to kill a bastard who could help him because he couldn't trust him.
Well, Ju-Heon didn't care whether Yang Chen died or not. He expected this from the moment he knew Yang Chen would go to Chairman Kwon.
‘That old bastard is that kind of person.’
Yang Chen probably went to grab a lifeline after Chloe made it so that he couldn't use artifacts, but… Chairman Kwon was no lifeline. Even after seeing the future, he was the type who would not accept such a shitty future because of his pride.
He would definitely not accept it with Ju-Heon calling him to tease him like this.
As expected, Chairman Kwon commented while choking Yang Chen.
[Seo Ju-Heon… Your scheme will not work. Did you plan to confuse me with such a fake future?]
”What the hell? You already found out? I helped that bastard Yang Chen break out of prison to do such a shitty job?”
The wronged Yang Chen screamed while Chairman Kwon ground his teeth.
And then…
[Ugh!]
Yang Chen's voice could not be heard anymore.
Ju-Heon calmly added on after that.
“Of course I was joking.”
[……!]
Ju-Heon despicably smiled.
“If you can't believe it, let me tell you something quite entertaining about the future. For example, maybe the business you are thinking of starting?”
Chairman Kwon seemed quite anxious. This was extremely top secret information that had not leaked.
But Ju-Heon just casually started talking about it.
“XX Artifact City Construction Business. Investments for your daughter Kwon Joo Hee. Creation of an Artifact Foundation. Ah, you were going to call it AA right? You were also going to purchase land in Zone A for your in-laws. By the way, they all fail. Just don't do them.”
[………?!]
“I made them all fail. I took care of all those corrupt bastards.”
‘This crazy fucker.’
Ju-Heon even knew about other things as well.
“You were going to name your first granddaughter Tae Hee, right? I really have to leave it to you, you old bastard. But did you have to put a part of your name into your granddaughter’s name?”
“……!”
‘This bastard.’
Ju-Heon continued on while Chairman Kwon was shaking in anger.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. What matters to me is that you know about it.”
[What?]
“It was getting boring messing with someone who doesn't know anything.”
Ju-Heon sounded quite pleased.
Without the Raven’s artifact, all those bastards would get was like watching a movie. It was completely different from the Raven’s Tears that would fuse the memories of the person here with their future selves.
He knew that Yang Chen sharing the album with Chairman Kwon would not harm them in any way.
‘Well, they’ll just feel as if it was them.’
It was the perfect amount Ju-Heon wanted them to remember.
“I was changing the difficulty since you don't know jack shit.”
The team members around him gasped.
‘He did this to change the difficulty?!’
Ju-Heon was being serious.
And then…
“Now that you saw that, I can stop warming up now, right?”
‘What? Warning up?’
Chairman Kwon was about to quickly say something, but…
Click.
The call ended abruptly.
Click.
“Hyu, hyung-nim.”
Kwon Hyuk Soo seemed anxious while looking at Chairman Kwon. The suffocated Yang Chen wasn’t moving at all.
Chairman Kwon had thrown his phone with his face flushed with anger the moment Ju-Heon hung up.
‘That deplorable bastard……!’
