Episode 52
Chairman of Shinsung Group. Seokhan Kim.
He is called Korea’s greatest conglomerate and is iron-blooded when it comes to business, but he was an enormous granddaughter fool.
“How is Eun-ah’s reaction? Seeing such a thing first hand, that child must have been shocked too!”
Lee Soo-hyun was very curious about Kim Seok-han. How can a man who is infinitely strong when dealing with others be so weak to his granddaughter?
Contrary to his thoughts, Lee Soo-hyun politely bowed his head and replied.
“The lady I saw over the weekend looked the same as usual.”
“okay. … I guess so. Because he is a smart kid.”
Kim Seok-han sighed.
As a result of the investigation, the name of the hunter who saved Kim Eun-ah was Shin Yoo-seong. Surprisingly, he was from the Shino family.
‘But it’s amazing. Throwing away someone who is capable enough for the King of Fist to be reaped.’
Kim Seok-han began to reason about the situation with a keen sense. According to rumors, Shin Yoo-seong is an F-class hunter.
Considering the meritocracy of the Shin-Oh family that Kim Seok-han met, it was not strange to throw away Shin Yoo-seong, an F-class trait.
However, the problem is that Shin Yoo-seong, who was abandoned by the Shin-o family, was chosen by King Kwon.
‘Shin Yuseong. That student surely has a talent that only Kwon Wang could see.’
Kim Seok-han smiled and clicked his tongue.
“Anyway, that’s funny. isn’t it? Secretary Lee?”
“yes? What is it…”
“Didn’t the Shin-O family abandon the raw stone themselves while pursuing such strength? …You can’t even trust the eyes of the Shin-O family.”
At Kim Seok-han’s story, Lee Soo-hyun lowered her head to answer. As Kim Seok-han said, Shin Yoo-seong was a student and a talented person who caught the villain of Rebellion.
It was a mistake not befitting a Shin-O family to miss such a talented person.
“…So that’s what I mean. After saving Eun-ah, I think we should think about reaping it for us.”
If Shinsung Group, the pinnacle of the Korean business world, became a material sponsor, there were not many hunters who would refuse.
However, what Kim Seok-han was eyeing was Shin Yoo-seong’s background rather than his skills.
“This secretary. What do you think?”
Lee Soo-hyun noticed Kim Seok-han’s intentions and told his analysis.
“Certainly… the hunter who was abandoned by the family was taken in by the master of the hermit, King Kwon. Be strong. It’s a great story to win the public’s favor.”
“okay. In addition, you will gain the support of hunters with F-class characteristics. Wouldn’t it really be a perfect model if you create an image with a hopeful icon?”
As expected, Kim Seok-han’s business skills were genuine. Kim Seok-han was trying to turn the crisis of the incident involving his granddaughter into an opportunity.
Seeing Kim Seok-han like that, Lee Soo-hyun threw away the doubts he had before. No matter how foolish his granddaughter may be, Kim Seok-han was a person who put Shinsung Group at the top of the business world with one business skill.
‘…a scary person after all.’
Let’s fear and respect in Lee Soo-hyun’s gaze. Kim Seok-han finally summarized the situation.
“Then send the PR team right away and recruit them. I’ll give you a generous reward for this job.”
“Ah, that’s… Regarding the reward… The lady asked me not to contact Shin Yoo-seong.”
However, at Lee Soo-hyun’s urgent story, Kim Seok-han asked with a puzzled face.
“hmm!? Did Eun-ah ask for it? why?”
“That’s it… You seem to want to take care of this matter yourself…”
Kim Seok-han frowned at Lee Su-hyeon’s story.
“…directly?”
Are you directly compensated?
It was absolutely impossible for Kim Seok-han to know the arrogant and lazy Kim Eun-ah’s personality.
Although she is her own granddaughter, Kim Eun-ah’s personality is not mature enough to thank someone directly.
“Did the child himself… say that?”
“yes. He said he was very grateful for this.”
At Lee Soo-hyun’s story, Kim Seok-han’s expression became serious. It just feels awkward to pass it on. It is natural to express gratitude if you have received help, but Kim Seok-han felt strange when Kim Eun-ah did it.
“… this secretary.”
Kim Seok-han’s serious voice rang solemnly.
“yes. President.”
“Our Eun-ah is the successor to Shinsung Group. Do you know?”
“Yeah, I know.”
Since the eldest son, Kim Jun-hyeok, is in a coma. Now, the official successor of Shinsung Group was Kim Eun-ah.
Kim Seok-han looked at Lee Soo-hyun and asked with serious eyes.
“The current age is a very important time for Eun-ah… isn’t that what young children are originally? Because I often inflate things by mistaking trivial feelings. … There must have been no such symptoms in the child?”
It was clear what Kim Seok-han was asking Lee Su-hyeon. Quick-witted Lee Soo-hyun thought while swallowing dry saliva.
‘Does Kim Eun-ah like Shin Yoo-seong? …how do I know that.’
Looking at the reaction that Soo-Hyeon Lee and Eun-A Kim showed in the message at the mansion, it wasn’t that there were no places to point out. However, in today’s atmosphere, it was clear that someone would raise their eyebrows if they brought up the story.
“When I saw it, the atmosphere on that side was… I absolutely wasn’t.”
Kim Seok-han laughed out loud, hahaha, probably liking Suhyun’s answer.
“okay! ha ha ha! It makes no sense! Our Eun-ah is a child with high eyesight. Didn’t you grow up watching me from a young age?”
Lee Soo-hyun had many things he wanted to say to Kim Seok-han, but he forced himself into a smile.
‘…Really, what are you talking about?’
However, Lee Soo-hyun also understood Kim Seok-han’s worries. One is the successor of Shinsung Group. The other is an abandoned orphan.
‘Absolutely… not a suitable combination.’
After leaving the chairman’s office, Lee Soo-hyun made a call to someone through her pocket.
– uh! what’s up
However, Lee Soo-hyun only responded to the man’s greetings.
“…it’s done. It’s the president’s order. Shin Yoo-seong, a freshman at Gaon Academy. You go and ask for it.”
Suhyun Lee ended the call by saying that. Kim Eun-ah’s request was taken, but Lee Soo-hyun’s chairman Kim Seok-han’s words took precedence.
* * *
Monday as promised.
A cool breeze blew on the academy’s rooftop.
Saaa- Kim Eun-
ah’s hair blowing in the wind. Kim Eun-ah calmly spoke to the incoming Shin Yoo-seong.
“Are you here?”
talk like usual.
A relaxed expression like the first time I saw it. Kim Eun-ah turned her head and looked down at the whole view of the academy through the bars.
“Do you know why I called you?”
“…is it because of an incident that happened outside the school?”
Yooseong Shin’s answer.
Kim Eun-ah turned her head to face Shin Yoo-seong. Then he laughed as if he liked it.
“good. The story will go fast.”
Kim Eun-ah looked at Shin Yoo-seong with a confident face.
“Did I tell you then? I can’t live without debt.”
“It did.”
Let Shin Yoo-seong answer calmly. Kim Eun-ah came to Shin Yoo-seong.
“Because you saved me and my brother. I have no intention of bargaining for whatever your request is. Come on, tell me anything.”
Other people might not know, but Kim Eun-ah’s words were not bluffing. She is the successor to Shinsung Group, the number one business group in Korea. Ordinary people had unimaginable wealth.
“…well.”
However, Shin Yoo-seong did not clearly state his request.
“okay? Are you really listening to anything?”
Shin Yoo-seong asked again to confirm. Kim Eun-ah frowned slightly as if she was frustrated and nodded.
“Is that so? I will listen to everything I have a lot of money! Anything as long as I say it…”
Shin Yoo-seong, who was listening to Kim Eun-ah’s story, smiled lightly.
“then. Come into my party.”
Shin Yoo-seong’s shocking remarks.
Kim Eun-ah was dumbfounded for three seconds. He asked with a puzzled expression.
“What?”
“Ah, what you heard is right. Come into my party.”
“me!? A party on the day of the class president of Class A?!”
Kim Eun-ah was dumbfounded.
In common sense, it was impossible for Eun-ah Kim, the class president of Class A, to attend Shin Yoo-seong’s party, which is Class F.
Being a member of the party meant belonging to the party leader, broadly speaking, Shin Yoo-seong becoming Kim Eun-ah’s superior. Even Kim Eun-ah’s grade ranking is 2nd. It was one step higher than Shin Yoo-seong, who was in third place.
“Do you know what that… means?”
“I know. But I really need you.”
Shin Yoo-seong met Kim Eun-ah’s eyes with a serious expression. A distance so close that you can breathe. Embarrassed, Kim Eun-ah took a step back.
“Oh, I know. … once away. You are too attached.”
Shin Yoo-seong’s sudden suggestion made Eun-a Kim think.
‘Ah, no matter how much… Joining the party.’
But worry for a moment.
Kim Eun-ah must have thought that this was not the case, and she firmly rejected Shin Yoo-sung’s proposal.
“no. tell me something else I’ll pay as much as I can, so I’d rather have money…”
“What I need isn’t money. Eun-ah, I’m a good party member like you.”
At Shin Yoo-seong’s subtle compliment, Kim Eun-ah’s lips twitched a little. Still, it wasn’t like that either.
“What about the party? Is it because of the national war? If that’s the case, there are any number of kids who want to participate…”
Kim Eun-ah refuted again. Shin Yoo-seong also praised Kim Eun-ah with a direct ball.
“Still, no one has as much potential as you.”
“Well, that’s definitely true… But, as a class president, becoming a member of another class is a bit…”
Kim Eun-ah, who lost her momentum.
Kim Eun-ah was unexpectedly the type who was weak against compliments. Moreover, the fact that she accepts Shin Yoo-sung’s praise with pleasure is proof that she acknowledged Shin Yoo-sung.
Shin Yoo-seong pulled out a card to put a proper end.
“I have no other requests.”
Eunah Kim’s eyes narrowed at Shin Yuseong’s resoluteness.
“…you. Do you really think I would accept an offer like that?”
Shin Yoo-seong smiled leisurely at Kim Eun-ah.
“huh. I think you will definitely get it. Eun-ah, you always pay off your debt.’
Kim Eun-ah put her hand on her forehead as if she had a headache. Certainly, Kim Eun-ah’s debt to Shin Yoo-seong was enormous. Shin Yoo-seong saved Kim Eun-ah from cheats and also saved Kim Jun-hyeok’s life.
Kim Eun-ah’s second benefactor.
With Kim Eun-ah’s personality, she couldn’t just walk away after owing her life.
In the end, Kim Eun-ah put her hand on her forehead and pondered for a while. Shin Yoo-seong looked up at the height difference.
“You… the national competition isn’t over, is it? What is your goal for this school year?”
Kim Eun-ah could see that the goal of Shin Yoo-seong was not the end of the national competition. I don’t know what the goal was, but Shin Yuseong didn’t seem to be satisfied with that much.
Kim Eun-ah’s serious expression.
Shin Yoo-seong gave a short answer to Kim Eun-ah’s question.
“tower.”
“…tower? which floor?”
Kim Eun-ah asked Shin Yoo-seong with a puzzled expression. The danger of the tower that the whole world challenges to climb is determined by the height of the ‘floor’.
The 1st floor can be easily attacked even by beginner hunters. From the 60th floor, it was an unknown territory that even the strongest hunters, including Fist King and Sword God, could not overcome.
However, Shin Yoo-seong’s answer was fixed. It has been a long time since I made an appointment with King Gwon at Musin Mountain to attack the tower.
[Yoo Seong! At least, before the first year graduates, the tower must go through 20 floors. The tower should be drilled when it is less busy. Do you understand?]
[Yes, Master. I understand.]
The common sense Shin Yoo-seong has learned is the standard of the King of Power.
“Um… the 20th floor?”
Shin Yoo-seong’s shocking answer shocked Kim Eun-ah.
“20 20th floor!? crazy! Even the active duty soldiers there will die if they are crooked!”
Kim Eun-ah also knew that Shin Yoo-seong was beyond common sense, but she did not know that it would be so severe.
Kim Eun-a sighed deeply, probably exhausted, and turned her head.
“…hey.”
Then he looked down through the barricade again and muttered in a low voice.
“Okay, I will do that.”
However, Kim Eun-ah soon warned Shin Yoo-seong in a firm tone.
“…Instead, it’s just a national competition. until it’s over Got it?”
Considering Kim Eun-ah’s personality with a strong sense of pride, it was the result of a lot of compromise. Shin Yoo-seong approached Kim Eun-ah and looked down under the iron bars as well.
Beneath the open landscape, I could see the vast grounds of Gaon Academy. The students were living in Gaon in their own way.
Although the destination of becoming stronger was the same.
The outside was different from Mt. Musin. Shin Yuseong was able to achieve several goals. Unlike Mt. Musin, however, Shin Yoo-seong was not alone here.
Persuading someone and truly winning their hearts is never solved with only skills.
‘This opportunity gave me time.’
However, it was only up to Shin Yoo-seong to make use of the given time to make Kim Eun-ah and other party members true colleagues.
Today’s Shin Yooseong had to learn how to be a group, not alone.
“good. Let’s do it. Welcome to my party.”
Let’s shake hands with Shin Yoo-seong, who made the decision. Kim Eun-ah readily held her hand.
“Hey, I’m telling you beforehand. If you show weakness, that’s the end, you know?”
“…huh. Trust me.”
Shin Yoo-seong smiled pleasantly and looked down at Kim Eun-ah and told her the next schedule.
“Oh, and the party is scheduled for tomorrow.”
“uh? What is the schedule for tomorrow?”
“There is a boss fight. You just need to bring simple necessities and come to Academy City.”
“what!?”
Kim Eun-ah screamed in surprise, but Shin Yoo-seong didn’t care. Shin Yoo-seong was planning to use a lot of Kim Eun-ah’s labor force during the party.
Kim Eun-ah, who was treated as a princess as the heir to a conglomerate group, was forever farewell, at least as long as she became Shin Yoo-sung’s party.
