Episode 156 [ In My Name (4) ]
Kyung-hoon handed out packed boxes to the people one by one.
“Omar was supposed to give it to me, but I can’t help it since he took it away like that.”
Kyunghoon looked at Omar, but Omar just sat in the corner and watched the people with a happy expression.
Jin Xiawei picked up the small box in front of her.
[WORLD GOLD]
The brand was written above the small company name.
[Omr]
It was the most famous jewelry brand these days.
“It’s a mana stone accessory, right?”
“Yes.”
Jin Xiawei smiled brightly at Omar. Omar also smiled at him with a slightly embarrassed face.
Jin Xiawei looked at Kyung Hoon and said,
“I made a reservation because you didn’t pay so much, but I guess I have to cancel.”
“Oh, I have to cancel too.”
“me too!”
All the women in the room said the same thing.
As expected, the popularity of mana stone jewelry was enormous. No one was taking reservations, but reservations had already been backed up for more than several months.
“Do you have mine too?”
Marcelo looked at the box in front of him in surprise.
Kyung-hoon held out his arm to him.
“I have one too.”
“That’s something you have to have since you’re the boss.”
Kyung-hoon said to the people,
“Everyone, try them on now.”
After everyone thanked Omar and Kyunghoon, they each opened the box in front of them.
Various accessories such as necklaces, rings and bracelets were revealed.
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
“Everything is different. Are these really custom accessories?”
“Go ahead and wear them. These are all accessories designed by Omar.”
Unlike the accessories that Kyung-Hoon previously put on the market, all of the Mana Stone accessories this time were designed by Omar. Moreover, all of the accessories
here were one-of-a-kind accessories that were made specifically for the people who received the gifts.
Jin Xiawei Wearing necklaces, Liu Yiling and the other women wore rings.
“But why are we wearing rings?”
“For those with combat skills, we excluded things like necklaces so that they would not feel uncomfortable when fighting.”
Omar carefully answered Liu Yiling’s question.
Everyone tilted their heads.
“The combat awakeners do not wear accessories when fighting unless they are attacked.”
Gyeonghoon opened his mouth after hearing Marcelo’s words,
“There is a saying that wearing mana stone accessories can help you recover from fatigue, right?”
“Some say that doesn’t actually work. They say something about the placebo effect.”
“There are many people who say it has been effective.”
“It actually works.”
“yes?”
“The mana stone accessories made by Omar can also have effects on ordinary people.”
The beautiful pieces engraved on the accessories were pieces for that effect.
The pieces were created by Omar by analyzing the words on the three-pointed sword that creates the effect of the pattern.
Now, Omar can also create the effect of the pattern by borrowing a different form. “And the statement that it is not effective is a slip of the tongue from our side.
”
“yes?”
“What do you mean?”
“It is not yet time to inform the general public that effective mana stone equipment has appeared.”
At best, I hid it in pieces, but there was no need for it to be discovered. All I had to do was spread word of mouth enough for many people to buy it.
Click.
While people were talking, Jin Xiawei put the necklace around her neck.
“What do you think?”
In response to Jin Xiawei’s question, Kyung-Hoon said differently,
“Now, put some mana into the necklace.”
Kyung-Hoon also had the awakened people who were with him train on mana. Among them, there was no one who could not push mana into items.
Jin Xia-wei, who tilted his head, tried to push mana into the necklace as Kyung-Hoon said.
Wow. Ugh.
Center of the necklace . The mana stone sparkled.
And
wow.
A translucent film spread around Jin Xiawei’s body.
“It’s a shield equipment. It should be able to block a single shell. Sister Jin Xiawei can block a bullet, but it’s still an emergency measure. “I thought there should be at least one, so I made one.”
Jin Xiawei, who was looking at the curtain surrounding the body with startled eyes, immediately walked up to Omar and hugged him, saying,
“Thank you so much.”
Omar smiled brightly with a red face.
“Then is it ours too?”
Everyone else also poured mana into their accessories.
Ugh.
“Oh, this seems like some kind of buff? My strength has increased.”
“Am I improving my body vision?”
Liu Yiling, who received the ring, waved his fist in the air, and Marcelo, who was wearing the bracelet, moved his eyes here and there. “I hope
everyone will keep it a secret. If it becomes known that our jewelry has this ability, me and Omar will be in a bit of trouble. ”
Seeing people excitedly checking it out, Kyung-hoon warned them.
“Yes, I will absolutely keep it a secret.”
Liu Yiling said, putting his ringed fist to his chest.
She looked like she would handle it herself if someone leaked a secret.
And two other Chinese women also had the same expression.
Other people also thanked Omar, and the warm atmosphere continued for a while.
After a while, Jin Xiawei stroked Omar’s head and asked Kyung Hoon.
“Isn’t Omar too busy to make accessories and equipment together?”
Even more than the gift, she was worried that Omar would be in trouble.
“For now, I’m only making accessories.”
Fortunately, other people have now started making awakened equipment, so there was no major problem even if EV released less equipment.
So now, the equipment used by the EV Awakenings was being distributed externally, and the EV Awakenings were being reissued with equipment found in a cave in Busan in the other world.
“We are currently building an awakened equipment factory in North Korea. “Once the factory is completed, we will begin mass production again.”
Jin Xiawei frowned.
“Then shouldn’t Omar have to go back and forth between North Korea and South Korea?”
Kyunghoon shook his head.
“There is nothing to worry about. “By the time the factory is completed, it won’t take long to get back and forth.”
It was clear that portal production would be finished at least by then.
People tilted their heads at Kyung-hoon’s words, but whatever he said was never wrong.
“Then I decided to trust Kyung-hoon… I received a gift like this, but I can’t just ignore it, right?”
Jin Xiawei took out a large bottle from behind.
“It’s a newly made liquor. It’s my own work. “It was quite fun to drink.”
Everyone looked horrified at her words.
This was because she had experienced hardship at least once in her work.
***
The hospital’s special room was very quiet.
Beep… Beep…, Beep…
All I could hear was the patient’s heartbeat coming from the heart monitor.
In the hospital room, there was an old man lying down as a patient and an old man sitting next to the bed looking at him.
The patient who was lying down wriggled. And after a while, the old man opened his eyes.
“W… is this a hospital?”
“It’s a hospital.”
Chairman Kim turned his head when he heard a sound coming from below.
An old man he knew well was sitting next to the bed.
“Ha ha Jeong-gil! “Why are you here?”
“I’m visiting the hospital. “I hated him so much that I couldn’t help but come when I heard he had collapsed.”
Chairman Ha’s words reminded Chairman Kim why he collapsed.
“Where are all the kids and you here?”
“Everyone seems very busy right now. “Still, news that you’ve woken up will come soon.”
A sad expression passed across Chairman Ha’s face.
Chairman Kim frowned when he saw that expression.
Being pitied by others was something he, with his strong pride, could not accept.
But he seemed to know how things were going from the other person’s expression.
“Is the company so dangerous that the kids can’t protect this place?”
To be honest, the company wasn’t in danger. But Chairman Ha knew what Chairman Kim was talking about.
Chairman Ha shook his head.
Beep… Beep… Beep…
Chairman Kim’s heart ached again.
It was then.
Suddenly.
My daughter came inside. Chairman Kim did not immediately recognize his daughter.
She wasn’t always classy. My hair was a mess, and mascara was smudged under my eyes, making me look like a clown.
But she didn’t seem to know that about herself.
“dad. It’s done. It’s all over. “Everything was taken away.”
Ju-kyung sat down next to the bed and burst into tears.
Beep…beep…beep…
My heart beat faster.
The doctor and nurse came inside.
“You need to calm down now. “It’s very dangerous.”
Chairman Kim tried to raise his hand at the doctor’s words.
But my arm couldn’t be lifted.
He barely raised his other arm and sent the doctor and nurse out.
In other hospitals, the doctors wouldn’t have listened, but in this hospital, he was still the king.
“say it. hurry.”
At the Chairman’s words, Ju-kyung started crying and told the story.
“There were no shortcuts and no strategies. More than a dozen foreign speculative forces pushed ahead. I couldn’t stop them because they were pushing in ridiculous amounts. Moreover, SG Electronics moved at the same time. When SG Electronics moved, other institutional investors also withdrew… and it was over.”
“What about the government?”
“Everyone turned away. “We didn’t even answer the phone, and the Financial Supervisory Service just said it was a normal stock transaction and everyone ignored us.”
Beep..beep.. beep..
Chairman Kim took a deep breath.
“They must be the same people who ate SG electrons, right?”
“yes. “The main companies were different, but in the end they seemed to be in the same family.”
“In the end, was our group the target?”
“I don’t know.”
“But why our group? What are you going to do by eating our group?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know.”
Chairman Kim got angry and Ju-kyung just kept shaking her head.
“If you don’t need a group, you’ve made enemies.”
Chairman Ha, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
“Enemies?”
Chairman Kim couldn’t help but laugh. Enemies. How many enemies did he make while leading SG Group? But he never left behind any dangerous enemies.
Among his enemies, he survived and brought the group to this point. There was no one to make it.
“There’s an organization that’s been getting into trouble recently. It’s called EV.”
“Nonsense…”
Several things came to Chairman Kim’s mind. The annihilation of the Awakened unit sent to interfere with the Association’s work and the Mana Stone Generator. “
But it’s all related to EV?”
Chairman Ha stood up from his seat. He no longer needed a cane.
“When was the last time you came to visit me? Do you remember how you came to the hospital and laughed at me? I came to repay you, but it wasn’t very pleasant. I’ll just go. ”
Chairman Ha walked towards the door with a corrected look. He left the hospital room with his last words: “In the
end, I held the rope well, and you set the rope on fire.”
After Chairman Ha left, Chairman Kim called the doctor.
He asked the doctor bluntly,
“How much time is left?”
“Don’t say things like that. If you treat me well…”
“Do you think I don’t know my body? Just tell me the truth.”
“It’s difficult. Even now, you’re using something called a potion to come to your senses. “If it’s too long, it’s a month early…”
“I could die today.”
“…”
The chairman closed his eyes.
It didn’t seem real. It was like a terrible nightmare.
I can’t believe the last moment ended up like this. Although I was prepared to die, I never dreamed that I would see the empire collapse before I died.
‘EV…’
It was a place I didn’t even know about until recently. It seemed like the world had really changed.
However, the chairman strangely remembered the image of a young man with EV.
A young businessman who had a fight with his son. I could clearly see the young businessman smiling at him at the scene where SG Electronics was being taken away.
The chairman said to his daughter.
“Jukyung. “I need to call someone.”
“yes?”
“Did you say Kang Kyung-hoon? “The president of that precious metals company.”
“Why him?”
Ju-kyung asked back with a puzzled expression.
“I have something to ask.”
Chairman Kim was curious.
Now that everything has collapsed, I was really curious about what the young businessman’s smile meant.
***
That night. It was dark when everyone was asleep.
Click.
The lights in the hospital’s special room turned on.
Chairman Kim opened his eyes.
“You said you were looking for me.”
Next to the bed, the man I saw that day was standing with the same smile.
