Chapter 45
Chapter 45 . Businessman Kang Chul-InLee Chae-rin decided to return to the Pangaea continent first and wait for Kang Chul-in there .
days later .
After making an excuse of having a vacation, Kang Chul-in spent lots of time with his mother . After that, he the met old man Kwon before deciding to meet Lee Chae-rin again . It was to discuss the trade going on between Pangaea continent and Earth .
“Soon, my territory’s economy will be able to grow . ”
While heading to Yongsan (a place in Seoul), Kang Chul-in thought of the contract he had made with Lee Chae-rin with his eyes shining .
The contract was wonderful .
It was beneficial to both sides, and even Lee Chae-rin was right when she said they would both be happy with it .
It was good for her as she would gain the protection of Kang Chul-in, and it was good for him as his economic might would increase . It was time for the immense synergy of both economic and military might .
Since he was so broke, he couldn’t even use his ‘cosmic force’ ability . Instead of expanding his territory or buying Kang Chul-in explained .
“Talking tree? Extraction?”
“As I said, it’s a liquid taken from the Talking Tree . ”
“What is the Talking Tree?”
“It’s literally a tree that talks . ”
“… Unbelievable . ”
“It’s not that it talks because they have thoughts . Just that they read the brain waves of the nearby humans . After that, they can talk so people decided to call it the Talking Tree . ”
“Ooh . The pangaea continent truly has many things . Fascinating… What does this liquid do then?”
“You can learn languages . ”
“What?!”
Old man Kwon’s body shaked .
“A-are you serious? Talk about in more detail . ”
“After you drink this liquid and you think of a language, it’s like data about that language coming into your body . If you drink one every day, you would be able to learn one language within a week . If it’s something many people speak, like Chinese or English, it would only take around 3-4 days . ”
“This is it! It’s this!”
“…… . . ?”
“Let’s do it with this!”
“Is this really that good?”
“Of course! Korea is the haven of academy as well as education . Things like TOEIC (english test for international countries) cause people to spend a bunch of money on it . With this, we would be able to earn a bunch of money!”
“…… . . !”
From the talking of Old man Kwon, Kang Chul-in seems to understand something too .
Yes .
South Korea really was the haven of education . It was a country where people went into serious debt and risked the future to let their children get better education . By selling the liquid in a country like this, they would be able to dominate the education market in not just Korea, but other countries to .
“And there are no need to worry about the regulations either . If it’s good for their children’s education, Korean parents would make their children eat whatever . If the government try to regulate this, they would taste some of their own medicine . Kukuku . ”
Old man Kwon spoke as if he had already achieved his dream .
“I will create an academy . I will allow the students to drink this liquid and make a curriculum for them!”
“As well as a business for adventurers . ”
“Yes, that’s right! Now I understand what you are truly talking about . This business is truly one that will let the goose lay the gold egg! There are infinite possibilities that can branch out from this! By using this extracted liquid as a signal flare in order to gain the people’s trust, it would be easier when selling new items . ”
“This is just the beginning . Old man, you don’t need to try and rush . ”
“There will be regulations . Although the plan of the academy is great, there will be regulations and rules made against it . ”magic
Yes, he was right .
It would be a fight . A tough and long fight .
But that was obvious . Living light itself was like participating in a cruel battlefield .
It was a society of infinite battles .
The second you were out of your mother’s womb, it was a competition, a competition against all odds .
Starting from primary school was a fight of grades, until fighting for salary when they were adults, a fight to gain a job after college . Especially Korea in the 2020s was an era where the competition was very ruthless .
In an era like this, they had to wage war in anyway possible .
“I will help you . ” Kang Chul-in said .
“However, I won’t do absolutely everything . This is not my fight, but yours . The one controlling this business will be you, not me . ”
Kang Chul-in’s fight was in the pangaea continent . He had no time waging war against the civilians of earth .
“Your words, I understand them well . ”
Old man Kwon took his wrinkled fists and gripped them hard .
“Just leave it to me . I will succeed . ”
“Of course you will . If you fail…”
“You will immediately switch partners . ”
“You know me well . ”
“Looking at you, I think of my elder brother of yesteryear, when he had yet to pass . ”
“……?’
Old man Kwon started talking about the past .
“He was not just a businessman, but an emperor . He had more charisma than anyone, and was absolutely strict in management . I know what you are going to do to me if I fail . But I also know how you will treat me if we succeed . ”
Talking about it, old man Kwon said .
“Thank you . ”
“…… . ?”
“From this conversation, I can tell how our future business relationship and business will be like . With this, I truly will be able to leave the underworld and clean up . My dream will finally come true . For letting me escape my fate of being a criminal, thank you . ”
Kang Chul-in didn’t respond . He didn’t know much about these kind of conversations after all .
“Eat this meat later . ”
He handed some of the peacock dragon’s meat to old man Kwon .
“What is this? Is it steak? Are you trying to revitalize this old man?”
“It’s dragon meat . ”
“……!”
“It’s good for your health . Don’t eat things like Ginseng or Viagra, and eat this instead . ”
“I don’t eat Viagra… . Yet…”
Old man Kwon tried to make an excuse, when Kang Chul-in’s phone started ringing and saw that there was a message from Park Doo-sik .
“…… . !”
But the face of Kang Chul-in’s face turned stiff when he saw the message .
